Chapter 104 Something’s Wrong with the Script
In fact, even Li Changshou, the Sea God, felt that the Sea God Ceremony in Anshui City...
was done quite well today.
Besides, it was already very difficult to gather such a large number of disciples at the border of the mortal world in the South Ocean.
Although there were too many people outside the city and it looked a little messy at first, there was no disturbance everywhere. The disciples were maintaining order on their own...
That alone was very rare.
However, Li Changshou still had not had a good impression of the Sea God Sect yet...
The original Village Chief of the Xiong Village was the current High Priest of the Sea God Sect, Yanyang, was wearing a black bear-hide jacket. He sat on the gold-plated throne and was carried out by four burly men...
The village chief was strong, to begin with. The scene looked like a black bear spirit being carried out of the city!
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
As expected, he should destroy the Sea God Sect as soon as possible.
The Sea God’s statue was moved to a hill five kilometers away from the city. Hundreds of thousands of disciples in the city followed it out.
Li Changshou’s immortal senses continued to envelop the place, and he soon discovered some interesting scenes.
Along the way, the gorgeous young girls were holding hands and singing songs.
The strong and energetic young men were all in high spirits. When they saw the girl they liked, they would go up and say—they would show off their sturdy and toned bodies under the pretext that they were fishing.
The large-scale celebration was also a good opportunity for young people to hook up with each other, ahem... to get to know each other and develop romantic relationships
The old men who were walking at slower speeds had strong young men supporting them from the side.
The lively children were being held onto tightly by their adults.
There were also some women in long skirts and solemn expressions everywhere in the crowd.
They scattered some dew-stained petals and leaves in the crowd. That was a blessing from the Sea God Sect.
Most of the disciples were singing missionary songs and smiling as they chased after the Sea God’s back...
The atmosphere of the celebration was harmonious and warm.
When the statue stabilized, the eight Divine Envoys of Xiong Village were also drenched in sweat from exhaustion.
They quickly adjusted their auras and spread their legs with both hands behind their back. They stood on both sides of the statue.
There were more than a hundred burly men from Xiong Village. They were dressed in black short-sleeved shirts, leg-bound trousers, carrying huge sabers, double hammers, and other “heavy” weapons as they surrounded the statue...
“It’s time to go,” Li Changshou muttered to himself.
He slowly disappeared from the small courtyard and used the Earth Escape technique to rush to the statue.
It was almost time.
His immortal senses were focused on the disciples who were rushing towards the hill. Li Changshou could only apologize in his heart.
He was not an expert who could protect an entire place. The Primordial World was too big and too dangerous.
Now, he could not even pluck his own Dao Fruit of Longevity. Even if he continued being the Sea God, he could not protect those devotees.
After obtaining the merit from incense offerings, he would have to protect those who worshiped him. That was the rule of the Heavenly Dao.
Today, he would personally break the illusions of those devotees...
Great demon?
Li Changshou, who was about to appear underground, suddenly stopped.
The paper effigies that Li Changshou placed at the periphery, released his immortal senses to capture the strange scene in the sky.
It had indeed come
The Sea God Sect’s ceremony this time was of the highest-scale in the past years.
Due to the rapid expansion of the Sea God Sect, they had already started a conflict with other sects this year. Li Changshou had predicted that the celebration today would attract some fiendish demons and ghouls that would cause trouble.
Li Changshou had a feeling that there were probably traces of people from the Western school behind him.
Someone must be thinking of finding out something about the Sea God Sect’s background during the ceremony today... “Fortunately, I’m here.
Otherwise, how many negative karma will I have to gain if I let you start killing?” In the Pill Chamber of the Little Qiong Peak in the Immortal Du of the East Continent, Li Changshou’s main body opened his eyes and raised his hand to grab the box in the corner of the Pill Chamber. He took out three black talismans with red words and secretly stuck them into his sleeve.
Then, he immediately conjured a seal with both hands and formed the Immortal Du Sect’s lotus flower-shaped seal.
Wisps of immortal light stabilized his Essence Soul and strengthened his telepathic detection towards the paper effigies...
At the same time, about 600 kilometers northwest of Anshui City, three black shadows swept up a black cloud and flew towards Anshui City.
The black cloud was still far away and had yet to be discovered by the mortals of Anshui City. Li Changshou slowly closed his eyes and put his attention back onto the paper effigies.
This time, it was different from the past.
He realized that the three demons had already decided to attack. They did not hesitate.
He had already thought things through. Of course, the most important thing was that Li Changshou had made sufficient preparations for this trip to the South Sea.
In terms of defense, he had achieved the maximum he could.
If the paper effigies were to encounter any expert, they would instantly self-destruct and turn to dust.
In addition, the Immortal Du Sect had just suffered a calamity, and the Perfected Du’e from Ren School had appeared. The Immortal Du Sect had officially been recognized as a faction by the Three Sects.
Although the head disciple of the Ren School, Xuan Du, did not appear directly, there were rumors in the Immortal Du Sect that the Great Daoist Master had gone to Golden Ao Island and talked some sense into the disciples of the Jie School.
With someone backing him up, Li Changshou had more or less gained some confidence... to secretly steal a glance at the Western school...
He would not dare to kick them. Just looking at them made his heart ricochet in fear.
To be safe, the paper effigies had to pretend to be human Qi Refinement cultivators who were just passing by.
If he allowed the three demons who were in the Perfected Immortal realm to disturb the Anshui City’s celebration, he would be considered to have gained negative karma for every mortal that died.
That was the reason he had to make a move.
The forces behind the three demons were too much of a bully...
In the eyes of some Connate lifeforms, mortals might only be Dharma artifacts that could provide merit from incense and karma, just like rice and wheat.
Retracting his attention, Li Changshou quickly began to attack.
In the direction of the three great demons, Li Changshou controlled a ‘God’ paper effigy and made it use Earth Escape to move 150 kilometers into the forest where there was no one.
He first used some illusions and the Transformation Technique to disguise the benevolent-looking old Daoist priest as a middle-aged Daoist.
After that, he released five original paper dolls and quickly set up an isolation array there. He also started preparing for the expiation ritual.
Immediately after, Li Changshou charged into the sky and faced the black clouds in the north-west. He generously blocked the path of the three demons and with a longsword in his hand!
Unlike before, this time, Li Changshou first pulled out the sword from its scabbard. A cold light flashed.
It... was actually a real sword!
However, don’t be fooled by its appearance. It was actually a poison-dispersing Dharma artifact.
It was not quite accurate to call it a Dharma artifact. It should be considered a good-quality Dharma treasure.
It was a Dharma treasure specially used for poisoning.
The three demons hiding in the black cloud flew closer and let out a thunderous roar.
“Get lost!”
However, Li Changshou answered, “The world is now at peace. How can you demons cause trouble in the prosperous place of the humans!?!”
Then, he threw the sword in his hand forward!
He had obtained inspiration from Youqin Xuanya’s sword case and found a simple sword-control swordsmanship. At that moment, both his hands were in the shape of sword fingers, forming sword seals one after another. It looked quite decent.
In an instant, the sword split into three, followed by nine. The sword flashed and he attacked the three demons in the black cloud!
The three demons could clearly sense Li Changshou’s Perfected Immortal cultivation level.
They did not dare to be careless and attacked one after another. They maintained their demon forms and sacrificed numerous treasures.
However, the three demons were stunned when they saw the sword flying towards them.
The sword-reinforcement technique looked awe-inspiring. Why was its power... So weak?
The three demons sneered and wrapped themselves in black clouds. They charged at Li Changshou ferociously, ignoring the nine sword shadows that were constantly moving.
However, as the sword shadows trembled, wisps of colorless and odorless poisonous fog spread out from the blade of the sword and entered the bodies of the three demons, approaching their demonic souls...
The black cloud rushed in front of Li Changshou and stopped strangely...
The three demons struggled in the black cloud twice, but they did not let out any howls. Their huge bodies landed in the forest below and crashed into the isolation array.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It was much easier than he had imagined.
He raised his hand and the sword returned to his hand, stained with demonic blood.
Li Changshou snorted coldly. “You three insignificant demons are not enough to force me to use my Twelve Individual Swords!”
With that, he lifted his sword and swung it downwards. He had the demeanor of an expert.
After a while, Li Changshou sent the three piles of ashes flying in the isolation array and retrieved the paper doll. He grabbed the Soul-Conserving Pearl and quickly searched the remaining scenes.
They were indeed Western demons.
Li Changshou shook his head slightly. After breaking the array formation, the paper effigy quickly sank into the ground and rushed towards the place where he was originally hiding. After this... Why is there more?
Trouble happened again before the matter came to a rest. Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured another black cloud that was floating over in the north!
There were pitch-black crows inside, which seemed to have some cultivation level...
At the bottom of the hill, Li Changshou, who was about to jump out and smack the Sea God statue, twitched his lips slightly.
He shifted most of his attention to the paper effigy in the north and continued to destroy the demons...
Did I come here today to destroy the sect or to protect it?
Negative karma is really troublesome!
Outside Anshui City.
At that moment, many disciples had already arrived near the statue. After bowing and paying respects, they all read the teachings of the Sea God Sect.
Li Changshou placed a portion of his attention on that place. As he listened to the people outside sing, he felt a little emotional...
Although he had never cared about the Sea God Sect, he had gained some understanding after a few days of observation.
It was a pretty good sect.
Apart from the fact that the Divine Envoys in the sect were greedy, the Sea God Sect itself had a positive effect on maintaining safety and peace on one side...
Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would not have given him so much merit from incense offerings.
The teachings of the Sea God Sect were not complicated. There were also songs that spread about it. Apart from worshiping the Sea God, they also promoted kindness and peace, and advocated for people to “not give up when they were out at sea” because “the Sea God will always accompany them”...and so on.
Li Changshou had determined one of the teachings to be the important factor that the Sea God Sect could develop rapidly. “The Sea God will bring the lost souls in the sea to reincarnate. They will be able to appear by our side many years later.”
It was obvious that someone in Xiong Village had made use of the matters of reincarnation in the underworld.
However, the existence of that doctrine allowed the disciples of the Sea God Sect to have a desire to fight and live when they went out to sea and faced some harsh environments.
As a result, many fishermen survived disasters.
The Sea God Sect did not do anything out of line. However, a faction secretly sent demons to cause trouble because they had possessed the merits from incense offerings.
This time, the operation was even faster.
Li Changshou relied on the paper effigy to launch a sneak attack. The True Samadhi Flames burned the murder of demonic crows.
Li Changshou quickly dealt with the ashes of the crows and focused his attention on the paper effigy that was hiding nearby.
The time was ripe.
Li Changshou did not dare to delay any further. He immediately terminated the Earth Escape technique.
This paper effigy maintained the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist. With his hands behind his back, he stepped on the clouds and appeared at a spot that was a thousand feet behind the statue, before slowly rising into the sky.
The huge hillside was filled with people, but at that moment, it was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard!
A woman pointed at the middle-aged Daoist and screamed.
“It’s showing! The Sea God has appeared!”
“Everyone, run!”
“Why are you running? This is the Sea God!”
“Everyone, kowtow quickly! Thank you, Sea God, for protecting my wife and child!”
“Thank you, Sea God, for protecting my son from the sea!”
The scene instantly turned chaotic!
“Everyone, don’t kneel!”
The village leader of Xiong Village suddenly shouted, “This is a demon. He doesn’t look like our Sea God!”
“Fool! How could there be a Sea God in the South Ocean?!” Li Changshou shouted loudly, and his voice traveled 50 kilometers.
With a wave of his long sleeve, Li Changshou extended his palm. Li Changshou’s immortal power condensed into a huge green palm that struck the statue!
Sorry, everyone...
When I find a way to return the merit from incense offerings to you, we will not owe each other anything...
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He felt a little disappointed and could not help but laugh bitterly.
The palm shadows were about to land!
Li Changshou suddenly caught a glimpse of a yellow glow that was rapidly condensing beside the statue...
In the next moment, the shadow of a huge ax appeared above the statue without warning in a bizarre manner.
The huge ax was held by a huge hand that was also formed from light. It struck Li Changshou’s palm. Li Changshou’s palm shadow, which was equivalent to an attack from an ordinary immortal, was actually struck by a huge ax...
It was defeated in an instant...
