Gou becomes a boss in the fairy world.

Chapter 1483: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (Twenty-Seven)

"Son-in-law, we are in trouble!"

That day, Ye Xiangming suddenly summoned Wang Chen, who was resting at home, to the county government office with an extremely solemn expression.

It turned out that just last month, the martial arts masters sent by the city and the masters of the imperial court's Divine Forbidden Department jointly encircled and suppressed the drought demon, but they suffered heavy losses and returned in defeat again.

This drought demon has been wreaking havoc in Changyi Prefecture for more than a year. It is the main culprit for the drought and has caused countless people to be displaced and become victims of the disaster.

The imperial court and the provincial capital launched several siege operations, but failed to capture this cunning and powerful drought demon.

Instead, a lot of powerful masters were killed.

Originally, this failure had little to do with Qing'an County, but Ye Xiangming obtained accurate intelligence that the magicians of Baiyun Temple used special means during the encirclement and suppression process to drive the drought demon towards Qing'an County.

If you can't kill him, just chase him away, and use the vicious plan of diverting the trouble to someone else!

The reason for this is closely related to the murder of the inspector sent from the prefectural capital to Qing'an County.

In the year of the disaster, the royal power did not extend beyond the counties and townships, and the provincial capital was actually unable to do anything about Qing'an County. After all, Ye Xiangming's method of taking advantage of the rich was a very normal method in other counties.

But the masters of the city would not easily swallow this bitter pill, and it was completely reasonable for them to take advantage of the opportunity to encircle and suppress the drought demon and throw this huge trouble to Qing'an County.

"What do you think we should do?"

He was so anxious that he was running around in circles, and his panic was visibly evident.

It’s not that the county magistrate is timid, but the drought demon is undoubtedly a disaster-level monster to the people in the mortal world.

The imperial court, Baiyun Temple and the power of the provincial capital, combined, were helpless against him.

How can the small Qing'an County resist?

Once the drought demon enters the territory of Qing'an County, the current situation in Qing'an County that has been maintained with great difficulty will inevitably collapse.

By then, the underground water veins will be cut off, and 100,000 people will not even be able to drink well water. It would be strange if they did not cause chaos!
The more Ye Xiangming thought about it, the more scared he became. He was completely confused: "How about we move our family to Yunze Mansion?"

It's not too late to escape now.

Wang Chen said calmly: "Leave this drought demon to me to deal with."

"what?"

Ye Xiangming suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "You said you would handle it?"

He shook his head subconsciously: "No, no, you can't deal with Hanba, this is courting death!"

Although Wang Chen is very powerful, Hanba is a legendary evil creature, a demon that can only be subdued by immortal cultivators!

How can a mortal body resist powerful demons?
"Got to try."

Wang Chen was unmoved: "Father-in-law, our roots are all in Qing'an County. There is no future in moving to Yunze Prefecture unless there is really no other way."

Ye Xiangming couldn't persuade Wang Chen, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Then how many people are you going to bring to encircle and suppress them?"

His eyes lit up: "There's no need to kill it, as long as we can drive Hanba back."

Wang Chen smiled and said, "I am enough alone."

When dealing with a vicious creature like Hanba, having too many people will be useless and will only become a burden.

"Father-in-law, please help me take good care of Dai'er. Don't tell her the truth until I come back."

Seeing Wang Chen's determination, Ye Xiangming had no choice but to say, "Well, be careful. Don't force yourself if you can't do it. Safety is the most important thing!"

Wang Chen nodded: "I understand."

Because the situation was urgent, he did not waste too much time. He immediately took weapons such as a longbow and a Mo Dao, and then rode a horse and hurriedly left Qing'an County.

Go north to stop the drought demon!

He ran out of Qing'an County alone and quickly.

As soon as he left Qing'an, Wang Chen could feel how bad the current situation in Changyi Prefecture was.

Due to a year-long drought, the earth was cracked, rivers dried up, and ponds and water bodies completely disappeared. Everywhere you look, there is a scene of withered and decay, with not much green left.

Mummified skeletons could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. Under the scorching sun, many victims died of thirst and starvation on the way to escape. The scene was extremely tragic.

It is said that in some counties, people have already eaten their own children!
Wang Chen sped along the way, but did not see any human habitation at all. The former village had become a ruin.

Although the territory of Changyi Prefecture is vast, it is not difficult to find Hanba.

Because where this kind of natural disaster or demon appears, the land is scorching hot for thousands of miles, and is accompanied by all kinds of strange phenomena.

So Wang Chen only traveled for two days before he found the trace of Hanba.

The information Ye Xiangming obtained was not wrong. This powerful demon was indeed heading towards Qing'an County.

But before Wang Chen saw Hanba, he first encountered a team on the road.

This team was quite peculiar, consisting of seven riders, led by a Taoist priest wearing a green robe and a Taoist crown. The other six knights were all elite and strong, and fully armed.

The knight who fell behind at the end was throwing some liquid from a gourd as he hurried on.

When he saw Wang Chen coming towards him, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately slowed down and narrowed his eyes as if thinking about something.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

He was the first to bow to Wang Chen and asked, "May I ask where you are going, my good friend?"

Wang Chen reined in his horse and said with a smile, "Changyi Prefecture City."

"Then this road is blocked."

The middle-aged Taoist priest said, "I am Zhang Daozi from Baiyun Temple. I advise the believers to turn back quickly and not to lose their lives."

Baiyun Temple!
Wang Chen sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are leading the drought demon to Qing'an County, right?"

Although he didn't know what means the other party used, the actions of these people were too obvious.

As soon as the word "Hanba" came out, Zhang Daozi and the six knights changed their expressions at the same time.

The Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple immediately raised his hand to paste the talisman, and shouted at Wang Chen from a distance: "Hurry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the talisman in his palm suddenly turned into a burning fireball and shot towards Wang Chen like an arrow.

The distance between the two sides was only a dozen steps, and the fireball shot in front of Wang Chen in the blink of an eye.

boom!
Before the fireball could reach him, Wang Chen drew out his sword and chopped it off in mid-air, sending countless fireballs flying in all directions.

"kill!"

The six knights immediately surrounded Wang Chen from the left and right. They all drew their swords and cooperated with each other very well.

And Zhang Daozi took out the second talisman.

However, how could Wang Chen give them the opportunity to attack calmly? He immediately reached out to the saddle with both hands, tore open the cloth bag, grabbed the long handle and blade, and assembled the Mo Dao in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, he jumped up from the horse's back and pounced towards Zhang Daozi.

The Mo Dao in his hand brought forth a flash of unparalleled sharpness and chopped down the middle-aged Taoist priest's head!

Zhang Daozi was horrified and hurriedly raised his palm to show the talisman: "Protect..."

As a result, just as the talisman in his hand lit up, he was chopped in half by Wang Chen's sword!
The second update is sent.
