Gods: Start with Goblins

.“Then what should I do?
Are we just going to let the evil cultivators wreak havoc on the world?"

There was a hint of anxiety and helplessness in Luodan's voice.

The sword spirit looked at him, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

It said slowly: "When you become a god-level venerable, perhaps you will be able to deal with him.

Moreover, listen to me, the god-level masters are all very strong, not only in terms of cultivation, but also in other aspects.

For example, the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, the control over all living things... these are things you cannot imagine now."

Luo Dan frowned, feeling that the sword spirit was deceiving him.

He finally got rid of Qilin, but was told that the evil cultivator had escaped, which made him feel frustrated.

"You mean, there is no way to get rid of the evil cultivators?" There was some reluctance and anger in Luodan's voice.

The sword spirit shook his head and explained, "If we want to get rid of the evil cultivators, we have to go to the ancient barrier to find them. The origin of the evil cultivators is sealed there, and only there can we completely destroy them. Otherwise, we can only suppress them and prevent them from coming out, but this is only a temporary solution."

Luo Dan gritted his teeth, his heart filled with reluctance and helplessness. He had not expected that things would be so complicated. "How could this happen..." He murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was seeking answers from the sword spirit.

The sword spirit looked at him, with a hint of sympathy in its eyes. It knew that Luo Dan was in a complicated mood, but this was also the only way for him to grow. "Luo Dan, you have to understand that the road of cultivation is never smooth. Only after experiencing countless setbacks and hardships can you truly grow up. Now, although you have encountered difficulties, as long as you persist, one day you will become a true god-level master, and by then, evil cultivators will naturally not be your opponents."

Hearing this, Luo Dan took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions. He knew that what the sword spirit said was true, and he couldn't just give up. So, he raised his head, looked at the sword spirit, and said firmly: "Okay, I will listen to you. I will work hard to cultivate and strive to become a god-level venerable as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will definitely get rid of the evil cultivator myself!"

The sword spirit looked at him with a hint of admiration in its eyes. It knew that Luo Dan was a determined and persevering person. As long as he persisted, he would achieve his goal one day. So it nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you. However, during the process of cultivation, you must also be careful and cautious, and don't rush for success. Remember, the road to cultivation is long and arduous. Only by taking every step down to earth can you reach the end."

Luo Dan heard this and nodded solemnly. He knew that his current task was to practice hard and improve his strength. So he began to practice in seclusion, constantly tempering his cultivation and state of mind day and night. In the process of practice, he encountered various difficulties and challenges, but he overcame them one by one.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

As time went by, Luo Dan's strength continued to improve. He began to be able to deal with some more powerful enemies, and even in some cases, he was able to give them fatal blows. This made him feel extremely gratified and proud. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to his goal of becoming a god-level venerable.

Finally, by chance, Luo Dan discovered the entrance to the ancient barrier. He rushed in without hesitation, ready to fight a decisive battle with the evil cultivator. After a hard fight, Luo Dan finally relied on his own strength and wisdom to successfully defeat the evil cultivator and completely eliminate his origin.

When he walked out of the ancient enchantment, the sun shone on him, and he felt unprecedented ease and joy. He knew that he had taken an important step towards a higher realm. And all this was inseparable from the help and support of the sword spirit. He looked at the sword spirit, his heart full of gratitude and respect. He knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges he encountered in the future, as long as he had the sword spirit by his side, he would have endless courage and strength. So he walked forward firmly, meeting every challenge in the future.

"Okay, let's leave here first. Anyway, the black air is gone. I don't believe they can escape." Luo Dan's words were filled with a sense of relief, as if everything he had just experienced was just a false alarm. He turned and left, his steps steady, his back gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

The man and Elder Tianji were standing not far away, and when they saw Luo Dan come out safely, their faces instantly became extremely ugly. Their eyes were full of shock and confusion, as if they could not accept the facts before their eyes.

"Why?" The man growled, gritting his teeth, his voice revealing anger and unwillingness that were difficult to conceal, "Didn't you say that the evil cultivator could kill him? How could he come back safely?"

Elder Tianji was also bewildered. He shook his head, as if he couldn't understand all this either. They originally thought that after Luo Dan entered the area filled with black energy, he would inevitably be attacked by evil cultivators, and might even die there. However, the facts were completely different from what they imagined.

Jiaolong was also frowning, and he was also surprised by Luo Dan's safe return. He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why Luo Dan is fine. But, after the golden light flashed just now, the evil cultivator disappeared, and even the Qilin disappeared. There is no doubt that this must be Luo Dan's doing."

The man became even more furious when he heard this. He waved his fists, as if to vent all his dissatisfaction and anger. "How is this possible? How could Luo Dan have such great ability? How could he get rid of the evil cultivator and Qilin?"

Jiaolong looked thoughtfully at the direction where Luodan left, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He said slowly: "I suspect that they were not solved by Luodan, but were temporarily sealed. Luodan may have mastered some power or secret method that we don't know about to be able to do this."

Elder Tianji's face changed slightly when he heard this. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "This possibility does exist. Luo Dan has always been mysterious and unpredictable. We have experienced his power many times before. This time, he may have used some means that we don't know about."

The man heard this, although he was still unwilling in his heart, he could only accept this fact helplessly. He gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, he is lucky this time. But next time he dares to get in our way, I will never let him go!"

Jiaolong looked at the man and shook his head secretly. He knew that although the man said so, he was actually deeply afraid of Luo Dan. After all, Luo Dan was able to come out of that dangerous place safely, which was enough to prove his strength and wisdom. At this time, Luo Dan had already walked away, but he was not completely relaxed in his heart. He knew that although the problem of the evil cultivator and Qilin was temporarily solved this time, there was still a long way to go in the future, and dangers and challenges would still emerge in an endless stream. He must always be vigilant and constantly improve his strength to better cope with future challenges.

Thinking of this, Luo Dan quickened his pace, his heart filled with determination. He knew that only by continuous efforts could he go further and stand higher. And those who once hindered him would eventually become stepping stones on his road to growth.

"A god-level venerable is at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. How could she be solved just like that?" Jiaolong said confidently, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone. "In my opinion, she must have been sealed up and temporarily lost her ability to move."

After hearing this, the man's face twitched involuntarily, and doubts in his heart grew like weeds. He just couldn't understand why Luo Dan had such an ability. This was totally unreasonable. How could a demigod-level cultivator have the ability to seal a god-level venerable?
"Lodan... How on earth did he do that?" the man muttered to himself, with a complicated look in his eyes.

The dragon shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Luo Dan is a demigod and can fight against evil cultivators. This shows that his strength is far beyond our imagination. It seems that we are no match for Luo Dan. Let's go first, otherwise we will be unable to leave later."

The man was unwilling to accept the words, but he knew that Jiaolong was right. If they stayed here now, they would only put themselves in a more dangerous situation. So he nodded and signaled Jiaolong to leave with him.

However, just as they were about to sneak away, they were discovered by Pei Sheng and others. Pei Sheng was a burly man with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he saw through their intentions at a glance.

"Hmph, you want to run? Not that easy!" Pei Sheng snorted coldly, and his figure flashed. He appeared in front of the man like a ghost, and reached out to take something from him.

The man was startled and wanted to resist, but he found that Pei Sheng's strength was far superior to his, and he was simply not able to contend with him. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and curse in his heart.

"Where are you planning to go? Are you trying to run away?" Pei Sheng looked at the man with a smile, a hint of amusement in his tone.

The man was startled, knowing that Pei Sheng was not easy to deal with, so he tried to smooth things over: "Brother Pei, you see, we have no choice but to do this. Luo Dan is really too powerful, and we are no match for him. Please be magnanimous and let us go."

However, Pei Sheng didn't buy it. He sneered, dragged the man in front of several major sects, and said loudly: "Look everyone, this is the guy who wants to escape. Do they think we don't know their intentions? Humph, what wishful thinking!"

Upon hearing this, several cultivators from the major sects gathered around him, their eyes revealing vigilance and hostility. They knew that Luo Dan was able to seal a god-level venerable, so his strength must be extraordinary. And these people wanted to escape, obviously because they were afraid of Luo Dan.

The man was even more flustered by Pei Sheng's trick. He knew that he was in a difficult situation and it was impossible to escape. So he had to bite the bullet and said, "Brother Pei, you misunderstood. We are not trying to escape, we just want to find other ways to deal with Luo Dan."

Pei Sheng sneered when he heard this: "Find other ways? Humph, do you think Luo Dan is so easy to deal with? Let me tell you, even if you go to the ends of the earth, you can't find a way to deal with Luo Dan. Because he is already at the pinnacle of the cultivation world!"

After hearing this, the man felt desperate. He knew that what Pei Sheng said was true. Luo Dan's strength was far beyond their imagination. Their only choice now was to give up fighting Luo Dan, otherwise they would only put themselves in a more dangerous situation.

So, he sighed helplessly and said to Pei Sheng: "Okay, Brother Pei, you win. Let's give up fighting Luo Dan and leave now."

Pei Sheng nodded upon hearing this, signaling that they could leave. However, just as they turned around and prepared to leave, Luo Dan suddenly appeared in their sight. His eyes were cold and distant, as if he had lost interest in everything. However, when he saw the man and the dragon, a barely perceptible chill flashed in his eyes.

"You want to leave?" Luo Dan's voice was cold and low, as if it came from the underworld. "I'm afraid it's too late."

At this moment, several cultivators from the major sects formed a semicircle, tightly surrounding the man and the dragon in the middle. Their eyes were as sharp as knives, as if they could penetrate all hypocrisy and reach people's hearts. Since ancient times, the principle that good can never prevail over evil has been deeply engraved in everyone's mind, and they have always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards those who dare to associate with evil cultivators.

The man felt the anger emanating from the people around him, and his scalp tingled, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, wanting to skin him alive. He swallowed hard, his heart pounding like a drum, but he still hadn't figured out why he was in such a situation.

"Why is this happening?" He cried in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He knew that once he said it, it would only attract more anger and attacks.

“Can you please let us go?” He tried to beg for mercy, his voice trembling. “We will never dare to do this again. Besides, what does this evil cultivator’s escape have to do with me? It wasn’t my fault.”

However, his plea for mercy did not win any sympathy. The cultivators from the big sects just looked at him coldly, as if they were watching a clown performing.

The man cursed in his heart, and his hatred for Luo Dan reached its peak. He felt that all this was caused by Luo Dan. If it weren't for Luo Dan, how could he be in such a predicament?
Elder Tianji stood aside, also panicking. He knew very well that if things got out of hand, the consequences would be disastrous. He clenched his fists and tried to keep himself calm.

At this moment, Luo Dan slowly walked in. He was not injured at all, and his steps were steady, as if everything he had just experienced was just a piece of cake for him. (End of this chapter)
