Chapter 358: Chapter 355 Deflated

"No—!"

"Spare my life, Great King!"

Unfortunately, witnessing such a brutal scene did not bring any joy or gratitude to those demons involuntarily exhibiting "heroism."

Instead, every one of them trembled with fear and even screamed out loud.

Just a moment ago, the giant toad was earnestly instructing his son, and in the next moment, he swallowed him whole.

In their eyes, there was no demon more capriciously cruel than their own king at that moment!

The Three-legged Taoist was ten thousand times more terrifying than the young toad who frequently threatened them with violence.

The group of demons were terrified, feeling they were constantly on the verge of death, and any slight mistake could cost them their lives.

Most crucial was that, like the young toad, they would never know why they were eaten until their death.

Actually.

Including the Three-legged Taoist, the group of Deceit Peach victims had similar behaviors to those following fixed patterns of murder.

They could specially be named—Deceit Great Saints!

Every act of evil they witnessed would provoke their merciless "heroic intervention."

All morally righteous good people could feel a spring-like warmth from them.

Now, they were more dutiful and responsible partners of justice than the Nine Soldiers Immortal Officials, pioneers of civilization and successors to the cause of legalism!

And every one of them deserved a little red flower as well.

Based on this, other evil-filled demons and ghosts never doubted these individuals had reformed.

Instead found their unpredictability more vicious than before.

After eating the young toad, the Three-legged Taoist elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at his following demons and disciples, and very kindly said:

"Do not be afraid. You continue to search for the entrance to the Taoyuan Mysterious Realm. As long as you do nothing wrong, I promise nothing will happen to you.

Smile! All of you, smile!"

After a thought, he added another word:

"Please!"

The already terrified demons were even more frightened at this time, forcing an incredibly ugly smile on their faces.

"Yes, Great King!"

They rushed into the talisman formation set by Wang Yuan, and in an instant, they were completely lost inside it.

In the end, only the Three-legged Taoist was left standing there alone, confirming that the intangible and material-less "heart-eating worm" in his heart had subdued again before he sighed deeply:

"Although this worm won’t kill people instantly, each attack lasts longer than the last, and even an iron-made demon can’t stand this.

Among the high levels of Peach God Tao, the most skillful at concocting new medicines was the Yellow Seal Strange Immortal, Scaleless Young Master, also known as the Wiseman.

But last year, along with the Penglai Immortal Island and the newly developed Life Creation Pill, he was destroyed in an accident and has been in a dormant recovery since then.

If I can’t solve this intangible and material-less ’heart-eating worm,’ when will these days ever end?

Can I, an old toad, only be a good person for the rest of my life?"

The destruction of Penglai Immortal Mountain last year has remained an unresolved case to this day, with "Peach God Tao" still unable to find who was responsible for such an act.

Especially the high-levels of the first major branch "Medicine Immortal Sect" were nearly driven mad.

Penglai Island was one of the renowned overseas Immortal Mountains, cultivated by the Medicine Immortal Sect for hundreds of years to achieve its current scale.

The quantity and types of spiritual plants and medicines on the island were unmatched within all the Peach God Tao venues, not to mention its leading role in crucial Moluo Jade Essence and metals.

Without them, the cultivation of middle and lower-level disciples with the Immortal Elixir and Penglai Immortal Formula would encounter significant issues.

Peach God Tao exhausted all methods, including divination, and only managed to find out from Shan Jun that a large amount of Purple Gunpowder had been used.

Ultimately, they could only attribute this incident to the most suspicious "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao."

They had to swallow this bitter fruit forcefully.

The same was true for Dushuo Mountain.

The news of the Victorious Fighting King causing havoc in the Yaochi Fairyland and Immortal Peach Orchard had long spread through the various Peach God Tao venues, and naturally, the disaster at Dushuo Mountain was also attributed to him.

It can only be said that Old Master Wang was careless in his appetite, constantly clamping down on one and stripping "Peach God Tao" bare.

Unfortunately, after the sole Green Seal Strange Immortal went out of control.

Even at the risk of abandoning Immortal Mountain, no mage above Yellow Seal dared to venture into the Taoyuan Mysterious Realm for inspection.

Think about it, as "Great Saints," if they saw someone fighting, wouldn’t they intervene?

Following normal procedures, as soon as they mediate, won’t the fighting parties unite against the mediator?

Then... enjoy a one-way ticket to the Yin Department!

Conveniently located on the island, the Earth Gate provides fast and direct access.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, the Three-legged Taoist, who was boredly waiting for news and determined to flee at the slightest disturbance, never to return.

Suddenly felt an odd sensation on his back, and as he turned his head.

He was astonished to find a huge black dog behind him, almost his size, with a dripping wet long tongue, slurping away at the poison sacks on his back that resembled money patterns.

The not-so-intelligent dog face was not only filled with ecstasy, but even the stretched tail-tip trembled slightly, clearly in utter bliss.

While licking, it kept exclaiming:

"Hiss, this is the flavor, so invigorating. Sea toads indeed taste better than land toads, absolutely marvelous!"

The neurotoxin secreted by toads can cause hallucinations in animals, just like cats with catnip or humans with tobacco, making canines euphoric.

Back on Beimang Mountain, Old Black was fond of this.

But after transforming the demon, ordinary toads no longer served any purpose for it. Yet, today was an exception when it unexpectedly encountered such top-quality Yellow Seal material.

Just as the Three-Legged Taoist turned his head, Old Black kept licking non-stop with a "slurp~ slurp~."

Although the giant toad really wanted to gulp down the slippery, somewhat anaemic-looking big dog in one bite,

it meticulously searched all the entries in its mind and could not find any teaching that stated "licking a toad" was illegal, so naturally, it could not punish him.

It could only suppress its anger and squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"Hey, dog! Do you... have manners?"

Unexpectedly, Old Black nonchalantly pulled out a pair of very festive, large red ribbons from his Talismanic Treasure Bag, inscribed with the words... "Attract Wealth and Treasure."

Then, he respectfully hung it around the giant toad’s neck.

"My master said, from now on, you, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, will act as the Guardian Spirit Beast of Dushuo Mountain.

Since you’re so good at attracting wealth and treasure, just like me, Old Black, as long as you meet the monthly performance reviews, you won’t be eliminated."

"What? Me, a dignified Yellow Seal Demon, to serve as your family’s Guardian Spirit Beast?!"

The Three-Legged Taoist’s eyes suddenly widened.

Old Black, like someone who had been through it all, raised a paw, patted its shoulder, and winked, saying:

"Right, almost forgot to say, please!

The master said that someone like you who loves helping others would never refuse such a small request, right?"

"This..."

Feeling that "Heart-Eating Worm" begin to stir again, the giant toad almost wanted to cry without tears.

No matter what, it never imagined that one day it would be manipulated by a dog.

This is the truth that one can trick a gentleman with square dealing, but not with deceit.

Old Master Wang, as the creator of rules, found it extremely simple to manipulate these "Great Saints" trapped within the rules.

Even if he were to face the upper echelons of Peach God Tao alone, he wouldn’t even frown.

Ha, what a joy!

...

At the same time,

in an underground cave centered around a large peach wood tree.

Wang Yuan stood next to the sculpted-like figures of the "Six Paths Ghost Dragon" and "Earth Mother Black Sky," who were immersed in the "Withered Wood Zen" state.

As expected, he saw Sage Wu’s expression change repeatedly before finally turning into ecstasy.

"Heaven has not abandoned me, heaven has not abandoned me!"

Without even a moment’s hesitation,

the body of Emperor Bao Sheng from the Green Seal immediately used a clone’s location to teleport with a top-grade "Heaven Escape Talisman."

This was an old man, just as withered as his doppelganger.

He kindly nodded to Wang Yuan and then raised his hand and shot thirteen sharp beams at the two Unstable Time Bomb-like Green Seal Strange Immortals, one after another into their major acupoints.

"One needle in the central hub, two in Shao Shang, three in Hidden White, four in Ling Liang, five in Shen Mai, six in Wind Mansion..."

These were Emperor Bao Sheng’s Lifebound Magic Treasure and also a very mystical Daoist Skill— "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles"!

A skilled hand shows immediately.

As these thirteen needles were inserted, the deeply hidden restlessness inside the bodies of the two strange immortals completely subsided.

Even if the Heavenly Officials planning to exhaust them had any malicious thoughts, it would now be difficult to create troubles through their empty shells.

However, just as Wu’s true form reached out and touched the Lifebound Magic Treasure in Emperor Mu’s arms—the "Six Paths Golden Wheel"—the moment his fingertips touched it.

It uncontrollably started turning into ginseng wood from the fingertips, then rapidly spread toward his torso.

Reincarnation unexpectedly arrived at this moment!

Sage Wu’s face instantly changed, as he hurriedly shouted:

"Tai Bai my friend, help me!"

Wang Yuan didn’t hesitate. Holding the Ghost King Altar Sealing Seal that controlled all Yin Mountain Daoist Skills, he lightly tapped the Six Paths Golden Wheel in his hand.

Boom, boom, boom...

The golden wheel spun rapidly, bestowing an immense power onto Sage Wu.

As he held the Six Paths Golden Wheel, gradually turning into a giant ginseng and planting himself in the soil, his expression also slowly eased.

The "Six Paths Reincarnation Technique" clearly avoided the limitation of "a doctor who cannot heal himself" and was very suitable for him.

And just as Sage Wu completely transformed into ginseng, initiating a reincarnation journey that was uncertain in duration, the final moment arrived.

"Tai Bai my friend, I concede the bet; no formalities needed, quickly take these three million!"

With a flick of his finger, three crudely made cards crafted from leaves landed in Wang Yuan’s hand.

Just as the victorious Old Master Wang happily looked at the objects in his hand, his smile gradually froze.

Each card was boldly inscribed with the calligraphy inherited from doctors—Emperor Bao Sheng discount card.

Effect: Use the card to request one intervention from Emperor Bao Sheng’s body.

Below it, additional text stated, Value: One million merit (not subject to Merit Examination Hall, no middlemen making a profit).

Clearly, this was the specifically agreed-upon "treasure" of equal value!

Wang Yuan: ... Well played!

Even I, Old Master Wang, have days like this?
