The Path to Immortality

The rich and powerful in the world only know that the immortal masters of the Demon Slayer Department are superior, but they do not know that the gap between the immortal masters and the immortal masters is sometimes even greater than the gap between mortals and monks.

Bai Lingzi knew very well that in front of Fang Ping, a third-level qi-training casual cultivator who was in the middle stage of qi-training and came from one of the five major immortal sects, he was like a bigger ant. He could kill him with just a finger.

Therefore, he behaved very respectfully, even a little flatteringly.

Seeing that the previously arrogant and arrogant Immortal Master of the Demon Slayer Department was acting like this, the Lord of Weiyuan City immediately understood the importance of the visitor.

"Li Zhenwei, the lord of Weiyuan City, has met the Immortal Master of the Sect!"

As a city lord and an innate warrior, with two hundred elite military guards and thousands of city defense troops, he can be said to be the only one who controls the lives and future of the people in this Weiyuan City.

But in front of the real Immortal Sect, even the Emperor of Liang could change him with just one word.

What does a mere city lord mean?

Li Zhenwei knew this very well, and his attitude was even more humble than that of Bai Lingzi, the demon-killing minister. I am afraid that the slightest slightness will make the immortal master unhappy.

"City Lord Li and fellow Taoist Bai Lingzi, please get up."

Fang Ping said calmly.

After hearing Fang Ping's words, the two of them raised their heads and stood in front of Fang Ping cautiously, as if they were waiting to be lectured at any time.

"This is Fang Ping, a disciple of the Luoyang Sect. I have received help from the Demon Slayer Department of the Liang Kingdom and have come to help you subdue the demons."

With that said, Fang Ping took out the request for help document from the Liang Guo Demon Slayer Department from his storage bag, flicked it and let it float in front of Bai Lingzi.

Bai Lingzi carefully took the document, glanced at the large seal of the Demon Slayer Department below, and handed the document to Li Zhenwei.

With this evidence, the two of them had no doubts in their minds.

City Lord Li Zhenwei saluted again: "Thank you so much, Master Fang, for coming here to save the people of Weiyuan City from the fire..."

He was about to flatter Fang Ping, but was suppressed by Fang Ping's quick and easy aura: "No need to talk nonsense, just tell me the hiding place of [Rock Armored Lizard]."

Li Zhenwei and Bai Lingzi looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.

After a moment, Bai Lingzi said: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, that monster is extremely cunning. It hides in Panlong Ridge and attacks passing merchants and people going in and out of the city."

"The Demon Slayer Division also recruited some martial arts experts to cooperate with Weiyuan City's military guards to carry out two sieges."

"However, the rock-armored lizard has rough skin and thick flesh. If you can't hurt it, it won't move, but it will injure many people."

"It just so happens that this evil beast has the ability to travel on the earth. It comes and goes in secret, and no one knows its lair..."

Fang Ping frowned.

When looking down from the sky, Panlong Ridge was still very large, at least several hundred miles in radius.

If the rock-armored lizard deliberately hides it, how long will it take to find it on his own?

At this time, Li Zhenwei, the lord of Weiyuan City, seemed to have an idea: "Excuse me, Immortal Master, I couldn't do anything to deal with the monster before. I had to retreat after losing our troops and generals. Now that the Immortal Master is in charge, we only need to organize another army to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress, and lure Make the monster appear, and then the immortal master can take action to kill it."

This is a good idea.

Fang Ping nodded slightly: "That's it, make arrangements as soon as possible."

Seeing that the proposal was approved by the Immortal Master, Li Zhenwei perked up and nodded in agreement. He immediately called for the black-clothed warrior from before and quickly gave instructions.

"My subordinates have the order!"

After receiving the order from the city lord, the deputy commander in black quickly retreated.

In an instant, a loud horn sounded in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and the elite City Lord's Mansion military guards began to gather.

After hearing the movement, Fang Ping asked: "How many days will it take to find the trace of the monster?"

Li Zhenwei and Bai Lingzi discussed a few words and gave a conservative figure: "Based on the experience of the previous two expeditions, the rock-armored lizard will appear in three days or five days."

Three or five days?

Fang Ping could still accept this speed.

Glancing at Fang Ping's expression quietly, Li Zhenwei tried to say: "The Immortal Master has come all the way, so he can rest in the city lord's mansion for a few days first. When the military guards go deep into Panlong Ridge and enter the area where monsters may appear, the Immortal Master will come all the way. It won’t be too late for the master to accompany you and take charge.”

"Can!"

Fang Ping gave a concise answer.

………

Fang Ping fell from the sky during the day and landed directly in the City Lord's Mansion. I don't know how many people saw it with their own eyes.

In addition, not long after, news came from the city lord's palace that military guards began to be mobilized to prepare to enter the mountain again to encircle and suppress the monsters in Panlong Ridge, which completely confirmed the previous rumors.

The immortal master from Liang Kingdom has arrived in Weiyuan City!

For the common people at the bottom, the theory of immortality is illusory, and no one knows whether it is true or false. Many civilians with limited knowledge occasionally see grandmaster warriors briefly walking through the air, and mistakenly believe that they are gods on land.

But for the secular dignitaries of the Liang Kingdom, anyone who knew about the Demon Slayer Division basically knew that the Immortal Master really existed.

It's just that most people are not lucky enough to see it in their lifetime.

Now, an immortal master actually arrived directly. In just half a day, the dignitaries of Weiyuan City were shocked by the news.

Countless people who thought they had connections began to try their best to find ways to meet the immortal through the city lord.

Not to mention whether you can obtain immortality, just to admire the beauty and smell the immortal energy is a worthwhile trip.

However, Li Zhenwei, who used to be easy to talk to, suddenly became tougher than ever this time. Almost all the people and connections who wanted to have a relationship were stuck outside the city lord's mansion.

"Want immortality?"

Li Zhenwei looked at the treasures accumulated over the years in the small treasury and sneered: "This city lord is still thinking about how to impress that immortal master? A group of people who are lucky enough to have a few connections dare to think wildly!"

At this moment, he heard a knock on the door from outside the study.

Li Zhenwei immediately exited the secret room, turned over the bookcase, and asked calmly: "Who?"

"Father, it's me."

Li Youer's voice came from outside.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Li Zhenwei lost his vigilance and asked, "You'er, aren't you supposed to be practicing martial arts at this time? What do you want to do with your father?"

"People outside are spreading rumors that the Immortal Master is coming. Is this true?"

Li You'er's charming voice was filled with curiosity.

Immortal Master...

Thinking of the appearance of the pearl in his palm, Li Zhenwei suddenly felt something in his heart.

………

Two days later.

In a quiet courtyard in the main palace of Weiyuan City.

Ever since the Immortal Master moved in here two days ago, an illusory mist has filled the courtyard and spread outward a foot away, making it extremely mysterious.

Not to mention the daily meals, even the beautiful maids sent to serve were turned away, making it difficult to see the immortal side.

This disappoints some of the women who dreamed of climbing to the heights of immortality.

Late afternoon.

Fang Ping, who was reading the pages of the silver-leaf book, heard the voice asking for permission from outside.

"Could it be that the traces of the monster have been found?"

Fang Ping took a look at the sky, took out the array plate of the [Dry Bones Fantasy Array], and made some slight changes.

The illusory mist that spread out one foot suddenly rolled up and shrank to both sides, revealing the courtyard door.

"This is what immortals do!"

Li Zhenwei was amazed when he saw it.

He knew that this was the immortal master's intention to allow him to enter and pay homage, so he immediately pulled his daughter, who was dressed up, and took her into the courtyard.
