At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

After the giant monkey appeared, it looked around with powerful aura. Taoist Qiao San, the ghost mother and the nine ghost children immediately felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy and dared not move, and froze in place.

"Where is the god you were supposed to be? How come you turned into a giant monkey?"

The reinforcements really came, but they were a giant monkey, not the god-man that the little fox demon had mentioned. Su Rui couldn't help but complain.

However, this giant monkey didn't seem to be bad either. It was holding an ebony spear, and its body was two meters tall when it stood upright. It exuded an imposing aura, and its pair of red eyes were filled with an aggressive and murderous light. When it looked at people, it gave people a feeling that it would suddenly attack and bite people at any time. The four ferocious fangs in the mouth of the thunder god were exposed under its nose, making it look even more ferocious.

"Who woke me up?"

Although Jiqi Town seemed to be in chaos, the big monkey seemed to be accustomed to it and asked without any concern.

"Great Sage, it's the kid calling you!" Su Rui hurriedly stood up and shouted with his fist clasped.

"Oh, are you from the Hu family?" The big monkey glanced at Su Rui and asked.

"No!" Su Rui shook his head and denied it. The big monkey must have smelled the blood power left by the little fox demon on the token, so he asked this question. He was just thinking about how to explain the relationship between himself and the little fox demon when he saw the big monkey waved his hand.

"Forget it, it's not important! What's the matter with you calling me out?"

"I dare to ask the Great Sage to break this evil formation and escort me and my party back to the city!"

Su Rui originally wanted to ask the big monkey to help kill Taoist Qiao San and save the people here, but he felt something was wrong before he said it. He remembered that when the little fox demon gave him the token, he said that the token was for saving lives and it would only last for a moment. This big monkey was not a good person at first glance. If he asked it to help kill people without permission, it would inevitably lead to other bad changes.

"I thought you would ask me to help you kill someone? You are self-aware and have saved me a lot of trouble! Your request is not excessive, but I don't have much time. I'm afraid I can only rescue you from here. You have to figure out how to get back to the city by yourself!" The big monkey was very surprised by Su Rui's answer and even showed a hint of appreciation.

"After the Great Sage takes action, can you escort us to the nearby waters?" Su Rui thought for a moment after hearing this and tried to ask again.

"If it's within five miles, I can give it a try!" The big monkey responded with an intriguing look.

Su Rui had no hope at first, but he didn't expect that this monkey, who looked ferocious, was surprisingly easy to talk to. After hearing what the monkey said, he immediately communicated with the power of the gods in his body and vaguely sensed that the nearby water veins were just within five miles. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, fearing that the monkey would go back on his word, so he immediately clasped his fists and shouted, "Please help, Great Sage!"

The big monkey laughed loudly and slammed the ebony spear in his hand to the ground.

Immediately there was a loud "boom", triggering a violent earthquake that shook the mountain.

After the earthquake, the houses in Jiqi Town did not collapse, but the Nine Sons Mother Yin Sha Formation set up by Taoist Qiao San was broken by its casual attack.

Seeing the haze pressing down on their heads gradually dissipate, not only Su Rui, but also many civilians in the city cheered.

However, Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. Fate did not seem to let the people of Jiqi Town off easily. They had just escaped the doom of blood sacrifice, but they faced another doom.

Without the Nine Mother Ghost Formation covering it, only half of the sky was exposed to the sunlight, while the other half was completely blocked by heavy ghost clouds, without a single ray of light.

Su Rui looked at the ghost cloud in the sky, which was spreading to the border of Jiqi Town like an avalanche with the momentum of a mountain pressing down on one's head. Seeing that it would arrive over Jiqi Town in a short moment, his originally relaxed expression became very solemn.

"What are you still looking at? Hurry up, hurry up, I don't have much time!"

The big monkey saw Su Rui staring at the ghost clouds in the sky in a daze and had no intention of moving, so he urged him.

"Come right away!"

Su Rui came back to his senses and responded.

He glanced at the countless terrified people around him and suddenly shouted, "If you want to live, follow me!"

He knew very well that he could not save everyone in the town, but he would save as many as he could. He had tried his best!

Wu Qianqian, Shi Yi and the other four people behind him were also worried when they saw the ghost cloud spreading rapidly. But they watched the conversation between Su Rui and the big monkey, and saw that Su Rui was confident, so they knew that he had thought of a way out.

Seeing that Su Rui was moved with sympathy, they knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to save the people nearby, so they also shouted in unison: "If you want to live, follow us!"

After shouting, he turned around and ran towards the northwest with Su Rui.

This time, Su Rui, Wu Qianqian and others did not use the magic talisman, but chose to walk. However, their walking speed did not slow down, but was very fast.

After they set off, a young boy wiped his tears, said goodbye to his dead parents, and ran after them.

Afterwards, people ran out of the town one after another, following Su Rui and others with their tails hanging.

The big monkey did not stop Su Rui and others from doing this, but watched him with great interest. After he left, he hopped and followed him, carrying an ebony spear on his shoulder.

On the other side, Taoist Qiao San dared to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead only after the big monkey followed Su Rui away.

He could feel a powerful force like an abyss and a prison from the giant monkey. He had a feeling that if the giant monkey wanted to, it could crush him into meat paste with just a flick of its finger.

Seeing the ghost cloud approaching, he hurriedly collected all the ghosts of the nine mothers into the red gourd, chanted a spell to summon the eight-horse chariot, got in, and urged the ghost horses to quickly leave Jiqi Town.

Tongqu County, in the City God Temple.

The temple keeper had already received the judge's order and lit large numbers of incense and candles in various places in the temple, turning the City God Temple into a misty fairyland.

It was still daytime, but sounds of troop deployment could be heard from the temple, and soon teams of ghost soldiers appeared out of the smoke.

The figures of Judge Wen and Sun God also appeared in the smoke.

"Where are the invading enemy troops?" Judge Wen summoned a ghost messenger and asked.

"According to reports, we have reached Jiqi Town!" the ghost messenger reported.

"Send the order, troops to Jiqi Town!"

As soon as he gave the order, smoke in the temple began to rise, eventually condensing into a white cloud made up of incense smoke.

The white cloud was as big as three acres. After it took shape, it rose into the sky and floated quickly towards Jiqi Town.

"This time, I'll see where you can escape!" Judge Wen stood alone in front of the white clouds, with a fierce light in his eyes. According to the information fed back by the spy, the second son of the Su family happened to be at the place of Taoist Qiao San in Jixi Town.

This time, Judge Wen planned to use his power over the army to get the treasure of Black Mountain from Su Rui.

However, when he arrived above Jiqi Town on a cloud with a group of ghost soldiers, the ghost clouds in the sky also spread to this place.

Judge Wen did not care about the menacing ghost cloud coming from the opposite side. Instead, he frowned and looked at the almost deserted streets below Jiqi Town, and called a ghost messenger over.

"Where is Taoist Qiao San from Jiqi Town?" asked Judge Wen.

"Some people below saw him leave here half a quarter of an hour ago. Sir, a small group of townspeople fled to the northwest. Should we send soldiers to guard them?" The ghost replied.

"Who is the leader?" Judge Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this and he asked anxiously.

"I heard it was a young man who was less than ten years old..."

Before the ghost messenger could finish his words, Judge Wen interrupted him and gave him an order.

"Send a message to Sunward God, have him take over the military power and do his best to stop the invading enemy! I will personally go to those townspeople to inquire about the military situation!!"
