In the Daoist temple, Jiang Fan had just erected a candlestick carved from red-shirted wood in the main hall.
The candlestick was about 1.5 meters tall and was divided into three layers. There were four carvings on it: a green dragon, a white tiger, a vermilion bird, and a black tortoise.
The entire candlestick was designed according to the pattern of the nine-square grid, and it was slightly tilted.
After it was erected, a faint fragrance of wood floated out.
The more Jiang Fan looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He gave himself full marks for his hands-on ability.
The redwood was cut down five miles to the south, where there was a small cedar forest.
In the few days that Ling Long had left, he had added a lot of items to the Taoist temple. It was finally not as shabby as before.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly felt something.
He looked outside and frowned.
"Ha, how dare you."
He sneered and waved his long sleeves, disappearing from the front hall.
At the edge of the Taoist temple, Ling Long had already jumped out of the forest and almost collapsed on the ground.
She forced herself to stay alert. Now was not the time to relax. Only when she returned to the Taoist temple and saw her master could she truly escape danger.
She took a step forward and suddenly sensed something. She turned sideways to avoid it.
The place where he had been standing before exploded with a bang, and a murderous aura filled the air.
She turned around, and the remnant fiend, who was even more miserable than she was now, came over with a flying yaksha.
His clothes had long been torn and tattered, and most parts of his body were charred black. There was a sword scar deep enough to reach the bone on his ribs. Other than that, there were many wounds on his body, and the blood that flowed out formed a scab. His left arm was completely torn off, and he looked like a demon that had returned from hell.
He was also panting heavily, but his eyes were fixed on Exquisite.
"Phew…Run, phew…Keep running!”
Exquisite looked at him warily and said,""I'm warning you, my master is coming. You'd better run now. You might have a chance to save your life.”
"Your master?"
The remnant fiend was shocked. It looked around and immediately noticed the Taoist temple on the mountain in the distance.
He estimated that there was still a long way to go. Even if the other party's elders were there, it would take some time for them to rush over.
He made up his mind and decided not to delay any longer.
"Kill her and take her corpse away!”
With a cold order, the flying yaksha roared and rushed forward. A gust of wind rose, and its sharp claws came at him again.
This time, Exquisite was no longer able to dodge.
At the critical moment, the flying yaksha's sharp claws suddenly stopped. The sharp nails were only an inch away from her forehead.
She could even clearly see the poisonous mist lingering on her nails.
Of course, the flying yaksha did not stop by itself.
His wrist was grabbed by another hand. No matter how he struggled, he could not move it at all.
Exquisite completely relaxed and sat on the ground.
"Who is it?"
Can Xiong shouted. Looking at the situation where the flying yaksha was easily held by the other party and could not move, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
Jiang Fan lowered his head and looked at Ling Long. He then looked at Can Xiong and relaxed his frown.
He exerted strength in his hand and the flying yaksha flew out like a kite with a broken string. With a loud bang, it smashed fiercely beside the remnant fierce, and a huge pit appeared.
Ling Long rested for a while and finally recovered some strength. She quickly stood up and walked to Jiang Fan's side.
She blinked her eyes and showed a pitiful expression. She pointed at Can Xiong and said,"Master, it's him. He wants to capture me and use me as a drug primer!”
"Oh?"
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party.
"Are you the one who bullied my disciple?"
The remnant fiend's heart was filled with alarm. It turned its gaze slightly and suddenly shouted. With a single hand gesture, it spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood wasn't directed at Jiang Fan, but at the pit of the flying yaksha.
A beast-like roar was heard. The flying yaksha's ferocity was unleashed. It instantly soared up and pounced towards Jiang Fan with an awe-inspiring beast might.
The remnant fiend took this opportunity to turn around and leave.
In order to save his life, he decisively chose to cut his own throat.
Jiang Fan smiled and didn't even look at the fierce Yaksha.
Only when the other party was about to approach did he raise his right hand slightly and grab at the air.
Instantly, the world slowed down.
Everything was under Jiang Fan's control. With him as the center, a thin layer of mist rose and spread out.
The flying yaksha froze in midair. Even its ferocious expression was frozen. Everything was like an unfurled painting.
"Thunder!"
He waved his hand lightly, and the sky rumbled.
Dark clouds gathered at some point.
With a loud bang, the world suddenly lit up.
Just like the first explosion that broke the world, the entire world instantly recovered.
The heavenly lightning fell from the sky and pierced through the flying yaksha. The earth trembled under the lightning.
A moment later, the thunder dissipated and the clouds dispersed.
The flying yaksha could no longer find any trace of its existence.
Ling Long took a deep breath. Sure enough, no matter how many times she saw her master, she was still shocked.
Then, she woke up and quickly pointed in the direction where the remnant fierce escaped. Master, he wants to run."
At this moment, the remnant fiend had already escaped a few hundred meters.
Jiang Fan glanced at him with a strange smile. He watched as the other party entered the forest and didn't attack.
He gently clasped his hands behind his back and calmly said,"It's fine, it's fine."”
Without further explanation, he raised two fingers and pointed at Exquisite's forehead.
As the gentle Yuan Qi entered her body, Exquisite felt a warm sensation in her body. Her consumed Yuan Qi was quickly restored, and even her physical strength was restored.
Jiang Fan held her hand and walked towards the Taoist temple.
"Come, tell your master. You've only been out for a few days, but you're already in such a sorry state.”
He took a step forward and the scenery in front of him changed. He was back in the main hall of the Taoist temple.
Ling Long was speechless. She collected her thoughts and sat down beside Jiang Fan.
She pouted and began to complain to Jiang Fan.
……
Hu ~ Hu ~
The remnant beast frantically fled forward, not daring to stop for even a moment.
From time to time, he looked back. The shadows of the trees were heavy, but no one was chasing after him.
His heart calmed down but he didn't dare to stay.
He continued to exert strength under his feet. His body was burning with pain, and his vital qi was almost exhausted. He could not even condense the fiendish qi cloud.
He just ran and ran.
Even he himself didn't know how long he had been running for. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He had left the forest.
Only now did he feel safe.
His stomach was rumbling with hunger. He stood up and walked forward along the winding path.
As he walked, he suddenly felt as if a family had appeared in front of him.
"What family would build in the vast Great Desolate?"
"But it's just nice. Go kill them and get some blood food.”
He approached the house. Just as he approached, he saw a plaque hanging in front of the door.
"Purple Cloud Palace?"
He muttered softly as if he had been struck by lightning.
He looked around and realized that there was no Taoist home. He had actually gone up the mountain at some point in time. In front of him was a Taoist temple.
