The roaring thunder light, guided by Lin Ji's sword, tilted its power wantonly.
At the moment of contact, the far-reaching white mist and lake began to melt like ice and snow. There were still only ripples on the lake, but the area of the lake was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Can you still resist? Then let's do it again!"
Lin Ji jumped up and submerged into the thundercloud again, and then the second thunder light fell hard.
Peng!
An explosion resounded in the hearts of almost everyone who witnessed this scene.
The monks in Jinling City who were not as good as the Yuanshen, who dared to witness this scene, almost had blood in their eyes, and had to close their eyes and not dare to look again.
And those in the fifth and sixth realms, whether human or demon, subconsciously stopped at this moment.
The human monks were naturally happy. Their own Taoist monks showed off their divine power. They all wished that they were the ones who would bring down the divine thunder in the air.
The demon clan, on the other hand, were all panic-stricken and wanted to retreat.
Several demon kings who came were stopped, and even the ancient giant monster was rescued. They were afraid that the Taoist monk in the sky would free up his hands to deal with them again.
And in full view of the public, Zhu Snake, which had eaten two thunderbolts, finally could no longer maintain its innate magical power.
The lake dissipated and the fog in the sky disappeared in an instant.
It finally had to reveal its true form.
At this moment, the scales on its snake body were already pitted and pitch black, and the fair human face on the snake's head also looked a bit sickly pale.
It stared at Lin Ji for a moment, but without saying a word, it turned around and got into the sky behind it, just like when it submerged into the lake, it only saw a few ripples, and then disappeared. No trace of it could be found.
"Run away now? This ability to escape is weirder than my magical power." Lin Ji shook his head helplessly and put away the long sword in his hand.
No trace of the red snake could be found in his investigation.
Born to be a monster, it is indeed very strange.
Lin Ji soon came to the side of Gu Hongzhenren and Nangong Limeng.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Lin, for protecting the law." Nangong Limeng bowed to Lin Ji and saluted.
"As human monks, we should." Lin Ji bowed slightly in return.
Then he looked at Master Gu Hong again.
"Is the real person here just because of that demon king? Lin has only read about the ancient giant demon in the classics of Supervisor Tiansi, but he didn't expect that he has gained a lot of knowledge today."
Master Gu Hong nodded and said: "The Demon Kingdom has some background to being able to compete with the monks from the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains. If they had not been busy fighting among themselves all day long, I am afraid that the Demon Nation would be indispensable in the Nine Provinces today."
"Penglai Island doesn't mean they have been wronged. It is the ancestral land of the Demon Kingdom, and there is a cave inside. They really wouldn't want to trade Yangzhou with them." Nangong Limeng said from the side, "I don't know that the people from the Palace of Eternal Life gave it to them. What good are they? Could it be that they really can’t stand the loneliness and want to take over Yangzhou?”
As he finished speaking, he saw several other Taoist Realm family heads in Jinling City in the distance still entangled with the Demon King. Nangong Limeng went to help without even saying hello.
"With her help, those demon kings can't succeed, it's just a pity for Jinling City." Master Gu Hong said while looking at the dilapidated city below.
…
Not to mention the lingering power of the battle between the Digital Seventh Realm, many of the demons making trouble in the city are from the Great Demon Realm. When they fight against the Yuanshen monks, they will naturally not take into account the buildings in the city.
At this moment, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere below, and many innocent people died tragically. Jinling City is already a dilapidated scene.
"Since we have known this for a long time, why didn't we let the people in the city take refuge?" Lin Ji frowned slightly. The collapse of the building was nothing, but what he cared about was the people who had suffered unreasonable disasters and lost their lives in vain.
Master Gu Hong sighed softly.
"Even the Fu family has been kept in the dark, let alone the common people? Jinling City and even Yangzhou have had close contacts with the demon clan since ancient times. If they dispersed the common people in advance, wouldn't it be clear that the demon nation knew they were coming? "
Lin Ji was speechless.
Although he has seen many similar things before, he will always be like this every time he experiences something similar.
"So this time the demon clan's plot is foiled, this matter can be considered to have come to an end, right?" Lin Ji asked, changing the topic.
Hearing this, Master Gu Hong chuckled twice.
"This is just a greeting between the demon clan and the monks in Yangzhou. If it weren't for you and me here, one or two of the five Taoist family heads in Jinling City would have died in Jinling today."
Seeing Lin Ji's surprised look, Master Gu Hong pointed to the distance.
"There are still two demon kings hiding over there who have never taken action. Maybe they saw that the situation was not good and chose to wait and see. Lin Ji, you said that if you and I are not here, with their combined efforts, these few who are just in the early stages of Taoism How many of the family heads can survive? This is still the case with Nangong Limeng present."
"Then they came back defeated today?"
"Then we will start from the southern coast and slowly encroach on Yangzhou's territory."
Lin Ji frowned and said, "Isn't there something about the True Dragon Cemetery? You also said before that you came to Yangzhou for the True Dragon Cemetery."
Hearing this, Master Gu Hong shook his head.
"Yangzhou has been monolithic in power since ancient times, and outside forces cannot come in. If something happens to them this time, the sects and families elsewhere will not help them. This time the confrontation with the demon country can only depend on themselves. I will take my place for them this time. Nangong Limeng stopped the Demon Lord to repay her favor. If the favor is repaid, what happens to Yangzhou has nothing to do with me."
Having said this, Master Gu Hong looked at Lin Ji and said softly: "This matter should be handled by the Yangzhou monks and Supervisor Tiansi."
"Jian Tiansi can't help now. When I came here, I met Cheng Yu, the town official of Yangzhou. She was alone. All her subordinates were dismissed by her. Now she only wants to avenge her lover." Lin Ji was helpless. said.
"This has nothing to do with me."
After the words fell, Master Gu Hong slightly cupped his hands towards Lin Ji and said: "The demon king over there has retreated. With Nangong Limeng in charge, I can go to Peng Lai to see and say goodbye."
"No." Lin Ji returned the gift. When he looked up again, Master Gu Hong had disappeared.
When Master Gu Hong walked away, Lin Ji looked at Nangong Limeng's side again. After confirming that the situation had been stabilized, he did not stay at Nangong's house for long and soon came to the Fu family's house.
Lu Zhaoer had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw Lin Ji coming back, the worry on her face immediately disappeared.
"How's it going?"
"Yangzhou is going to be in chaos, but you and I have nothing to do with it."
"But so many people were killed and injured."
"Let the powerful families in Yangzhou handle it."
With that said, Lin Ji's eyes fell on the young girl next to Lu Zhaoer.
"It's a pity that I won't be able to go to the Demon Country."
