CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 351 LITTLE RIVER TOWN CAT DEMON

The Hengyue Mountain Range belongs to a primitive forest, with tens of thousands of demon beasts prowling and thriving there. It is also the largest mountain range in the Yunbei County territory.

It is rumored that deep within the mountain range, some Golden Core Demon Kings are hidden, causing deep fear among human cultivators and deterring them from venturing into the depths of the mountain.

On usual days, the Hengyue Mountain Range is also a demon-hunting ground for many loose cultivators, who often enter the mountains to hunt low-tier demon beasts and earn spirit stones.

Compared to the demon cultivators from Black Brilliance Mountain, the demon beasts emerging from the Hengyue Mountain Range are much weaker in strength.

Based on Lu Ping’s investigation results, which aligned with the system’s presented mission targets, there are only two Foundation Establishment demon beasts, and their strength is merely at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The rest of the demon beasts are merely small, low-tier demon beasts at the Qi Cultivation level.

These demon beasts can be dealt with by Lu Zhiwei alone.

Lu Yuanshan, worried about Zhiwei’s safety, decided to accompany her in action.

Because these demon beasts do not act collectively, as they come from different races including tiger demons, bear demons, cat demons, and others.

So, to eliminate them, one must search for their traces individually and clear them one by one.

Around the Hengyue Mountain Range, within a hundred miles, there are sixteen towns, all belonging to mortal towns with rare appearances of cultivators.

The rest are large cities under Shenxiao Palace’s jurisdiction, guarded by Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Recently, no demon beast invasion has occurred in these cities.

Only those towns without cultivator guards have recently been attacked by demon beasts.

Lu Yuanshan and his sister first settled in a town named Little River Town near the Hengyue Mountain Range.

This small town is simple in customs, living on farming and poultry farming, with a population of around three thousand people.

As cultivators descended upon Little River Town with sword control, Lu Yuanshan and his sister immediately became the focus of attention.

The mortals of Little River Town, although not having met cultivators before, upon seeing Lu Yuanshan and his sister, who arrived with sword control, they quickly understood that cultivators had arrived and promptly came forward to pay their respects.

Some villagers even mistook Lu Yuanshan and his sister as cultivators from Shenxiao Palace.

After all, Shenxiao Palace is the most famous Immortal Sect around here with a highly esteemed reputation.

"We are not cultivators from Shenxiao Palace; we are from Cyan Mountain Sect in Lushan County!"

Lu Yuanshan reported his origins.

Most of Yunbei County is under the domain of Shenxiao Palace, but Little River Town is not under Shenxiao Palace’s protection.

Currently, after suffering demon beast invasions, the people of Little River Town are frightened, with many hiding at home in fear or fleeing to nearby cities guarded by cultivators for refuge.

Only some people forced by life still choose to work outside, praying not to run into demon beasts.

"Immortal Masters from Cyan Mountain Sect, have you come to eliminate the demon beasts?"

An old man with white hair asked while kneeling, full of anticipation.

Although he hadn’t heard of the Cyan Mountain Sect, since sect cultivators had arrived, they might be able to deal with the demon beast.

Little River Town was saved!

"Elder, please stand up."

Lu Yuanshan, with a solemn expression, waved his sleeve, and a gentle force lifted the white-haired old man as he responded.

"Old man, the demon beasts troubling Little River Town nearby can be eradicated by our Cyan Mountain Sect."

Having said this, he immediately inquired about the situation of the demon beasts.

The white-haired old man, upon hearing this, showed a joyful expression and immediately informed about the recent demon beast havoc in Little River Town.

After listening for a while, Lu Yuanshan’s gaze slightly focused upon learning that the demon beast appearing in Little River Town is supposedly a cat demon lurking in the town, injuring people, with six people already falling victim to its attack, dying in its mouth.

The specific strength of this cat demon was naturally beyond the white-haired old man’s ability to judge, but he continually emphasized that it was very powerful and hard to deal with. If Lu Yuanshan and his sister took action, they must be cautious.

After hearing the old man’s narration, Lu Yuanshan prepared to act immediately, conducting a Divine Sense search in the town to find the cat demon’s traces.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the south of their location.

"Ah!"

Faintly hearing, the scream was a woman’s voice.

"Quick!"

Lu Yuanshan frowned, guessing that the cat demon must have appeared to harm someone. Without unfolding Divine Sense, he directly alerted Lu Zhiwei and performed the Wind Manipulation Technique, flying towards the direction of the scream.

Cultivators have very acute hearing, especially Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who can accurately locate the origin of sounds in just one or two breaths, enabling precise positioning.

Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei swiftly arrived in a courtyard at the same time.

Before they could clearly observe the specific situation inside the courtyard, they heard another terrified scream, accompanied by a piercing sound through the air.

The siblings instinctively looked towards the sound, seeing a large cat over four feet tall, baring its fangs and claws, leaping towards a little girl.

The large cat’s mouth opened wide, revealing sharp fangs, aiming for the little girl’s neck.

Facing such a demon beast attack, the little girl was paralyzed with fear, standing foolishly in place.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Lu Yuanshan quickly shouted, released a flying sword, and struck the large cat.

This flying sword was the Qingyin Flying Sword.

At this critical moment, there was no time to delay, so Lu Yuanshan did not deploy the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword but attacked with the fastest move.

The Qingyin Flying Sword let out a crisp sword cry, moving at incredible speed, reaching the little girl in the blink of an eye, confronting the large cat.

Suddenly witnessing a flying sword attacking, interrupting its assault, the large cat turned defensive, extending its forepaw to meet the Qingyin Flying Sword.

Although the Qingyin Flying Sword is a Tier Two Flying Sword, a bit low in tier for Lu Yuanshan, when wielded with Foundation Establishment Magical Power, its power is enough to challenge Foundation Establishment demon beasts.

This cat demon’s strength was at the second-layer Foundation Establishment stage, far from being Lu Yuanshan’s match.

When its forepaw clashed with the Qingyin Flying Sword, half of its forepaw was severed with one stroke, causing a painful howl.

Simultaneously, Lu Zhiwei also took action, wielding a gentle force to pull the little girl aside from a distance, creating a separation of about two yards from the cat demon.

The little girl, still panic-stricken, unaware of what had happened, turned her small head to look around. Upon seeing the cat demon wailing on the ground, ferociously glaring at Lu Yuanshan, she realized what had happened.

She quickly ran towards Lu Yuanshan’s direction, knowing that an Immortal Master had come to her rescue.

"Little sister, protect her."

Landing in front of the cat demon while using the Wind Manipulation Technique, Lu Yuanshan informed Lu Zhiwei with a word and did not use a higher-tiered magical artifact.

Instead, he continued to wield the Qingyin Flying Sword, slashing towards the cat demon!

Not to mention the Tier Two Flying Sword, even a Tier One Spiritual Artifact, at this moment, in Lu Yuanshan’s eyes, was enough to deal with this cat demon.
