CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 323: EXORCISM_2

The Shenxiao Thunderbolt Righteous Method had already been practiced to the Seventh Layer. This Righteous Method has a total of nine layers.

According to the original owner’s memory, his cultivation level in the Thunder Skill far surpassed that of his deceased master.

In this An Province City, he could be considered a top-tier figure.

According to Gao Xuan’s understanding, he accessed the Book of Genesis correctly and obtained a top-grade avatar.

This world is vast and endless, and although it’s just a spiritual world, it holds endless treasures for cultivators.

Take Shenxiao Thunderbolt Righteous Method, in Gao Xuan’s view, it’s the best Thunder Control Technique.

Gao Xuan’s Spiritual Power was a hundred times stronger than the original owner’s. Although he didn’t know much about Thunder Skill, he inherited the original owner’s memory and cultivation, making it very easy to perform these Thunder Skills.

The Celestial Dragon Eye can control the Power of Thunder. Gao Xuan also practiced some corresponding Secret Techniques.

He spent two days pushing the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Righteous Method to the Ninth Layer, which was the limit.

Unfortunately, the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Righteous Method is incomplete.

Gao Xuan didn’t know what to cultivate next. He simply focused his energy on the Water Heaven Sword.

Along with him came the Hongyi Sword, which hung at his waist.

Gao Xuan went to Anlong Lake every day, sensing the spiritual Qi there. With the Water Heaven Sword, every day brought a deeper understanding.

Practicing like this for ten or eight years, Gao Xuan believed his swordsmanship would certainly excel.

With a time flow ratio of one to ten thousand, he could practice here for fifty to sixty years. Outside, it would only be two days.

The reasons behind this are complex and involved many secrets. Naturally, Gao Xuan wouldn’t tell too much to a young girl.

The girl, however, thought Gao Xuan seemed a bit unhappy. She felt she might have said something wrong, and she looked down, a bit regretful, saying, "Then we’ll leave."

The middle-aged boat lady also nodded apologetically to Gao Xuan but then remembered Gao Xuan couldn’t see, so she said softly, "Daoist, we’ll be off then."

Gao Xuan nodded slightly.

The small boat swayed and headed towards the center of the lake. The girl rowing occasionally looked up at Gao Xuan, her face full of sympathy.

She whispered to her mother, "The Junior Daoist is so pitiful."

"Don’t speak carelessly. The Profound Cyan Daoist Robe he’s wearing is of excellent quality, and he’s spotless; he’s definitely not an ordinary Daoist. Don’t randomly pick fights with people..."

The boat lady, having worked her way through the Jianghu, had some insight. She noticed Gao Xuan’s remarkable appearance and demeanor.

Even though it was raining, there wasn’t a speck of mud on his Ten Directions Shoes. This is further proof of this person’s abilities.

The boat lady knew her daughter had a bit of a liking for the young Daoist, but unfortunately, people like him were not someone they could aspire to.

The girl didn’t think so much; she was just regretful about what she had said earlier.

The young man was clean and his voice was pleasant; she liked him very much upon seeing him.

Thinking about meeting him again tomorrow brought her joy, and she planned on asking for his name then.

The boat lady watched her daughter smile and frown alternately, sighed, and reminded her as they approached a nearby pleasure boat: "Bring out the four-eyed, five-colored koi we prepared, here comes Young Master Zhang’s boat..."

The girl seemed unwilling, "Young Master Zhang and those two little servants are all lecherous. They’re obviously not good people."

"Don’t talk recklessly."

The boat lady scolded with a stern face, "The Zhang Family has money and power. We make a living on the lake and cannot afford to offend them."

While speaking, the small fishing boat had already come alongside the pleasure boat.

This pleasure boat had two levels, stretching five zhang long. Shaped like a pavilion, it was exquisitely decorated and beautiful. The small boat docked beside the pleasure boat, making it look even more dilapidated.

A young servant in a blue robe stood at the bow of the boat holding an oiled paper umbrella, grinning as he said to the girl, "Miss Xiaolian, your clothes are soaked. Come up to warm yourself by the fire, and we’ll get you a clean change of clothes..."

"Bah, just take the fish quickly."

Xiaolian tossed a grass-woven fish basket to the servant, extending her small, pruney hands: "Two hundred coins, pay up quickly."

"You raised the price..."

The servant glanced at the fish basket and smirked, "It’s not worth two hundred coins. Why don’t you come up and sing for the young master? He’d be so delighted he might give you a few taels of silver."

"I will not!"

Xiaolian stomped her foot in displeasure, saying, "Pay up, and stop spouting nonsense."

The servant was about to make a few more teases when suddenly huge water bubbles began to emerge from the lake surface, like boiling water.

The small fishing boat was swept away by the surging waves, and even the pleasure boat drifted horizontally.

This type of pleasure boat was all about grandiose luxury, sitting on it feeling like being inside a room.

The sudden upheaval made the people inside the pleasure boat uneasy.

Young Master Zhang emerged with two beautiful courtesans, his face clouded as he asked, "What’s going on?"

The blue-clad servant, face full of fear, pointed at the bubbling lake, "Young master, it seems there’s a demon."

"Nonsense, where would a demon come from in the center of An Province City?"

Young Master Zhang arrogantly pointed with his folding fan at the bubbling water, "Someone go in to see what’s happening."

Everyone had faces full of fear. In this world, there were many demons. It wasn’t surprising to have a Water Demon in such a big lake like Anlong Lake.

The key was that with such a commotion, who would dare risk their life?

Young Master Zhang turned his gaze to the boat lady on the small boat, smiling: "Boat lady, you go in and have a look."

The boat lady’s face turned pale: "Young Master Zhang, I don’t dare."

Young Master Zhang’s face darkened: "What, not listening? Do you still want to fish here on this lake?"

Xiaolian was infuriated but didn’t dare challenge Young Master Zhang. She whispered to her mother: "Mama, let’s go."

The boat lady hesitated; leaving was easy now, but offending Young Master Zhang would make life difficult later.

Not to mention, if he just casually mentioned it, who would dare buy her fish?

Young Master Zhang, looking down from his height, couldn’t clearly see the boat lady’s expression. He only saw her hesitation and was displeased.

"You, such an uncultured woman."

Feeling a bit humiliated that his order did not move the boat lady, Young Master Zhang shouted loudly: "Someone, throw her in."

Naturally, there were bodyguards around Young Master Zhang. A burly man jumped onto the fishing boat from the pleasure boat.

His lightweight skill was good; landing on the boat only caused a light sway.

The boat lady, seeing his fierce demeanor, grew more frightened. She quickly knelt down, begging: "Young Master Zhang, we’re just a common mother and daughter, please spare us."

Young Master Zhang coldly waved his hand, signaling the bodyguard to proceed.

The bodyguard sneered, grabbed the boat lady by the neck with one hand, and with the other grabbed one of her legs, flinging her far with great force.

This man had astonishing martial arts, throwing the boat lady five to six zhang from the swaying small boat.

With a scream, the boat lady fell into the water. She had excellent swimming skills and immediately adjusted her posture to swim back to the small boat.

At this moment, a large fish suddenly emerged from the bubbles, its mouth filled with sharp teeth, biting the boat lady in one gulp.

Then, the fish quickly dived underwater. On the lake’s surface, a spread of blood rippled out.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

Young Master Zhang reacted the fastest, yelling in panic: "Quickly, go, go..."

A flicker of shadow, and suddenly Young Master Zhang found a young Daoist beside him. This Daoist did not wear a Daoist crown; his Daoist bun was pinned with an ebony hairpin. His appearance was handsome and clear, attired in a Profound Cyan Daoist Robe with a Treasure Sword hanging at his waist.

Though young, the Daoist had an extraordinary aura, but for some reason, his eyes were closed.

Young Master Zhang shouted in surprise: "Who are you?"

Gao Xuan softly sighed and said to Young Master Zhang, "Since you like watching the Fish Demon, I’ll send you for a closer look."

Saying this, Gao Xuan grabbed Young Master Zhang by his collar and lifted him. In great fear, Young Master Zhang screamed, "My father is Zhang Dongcheng! If you dare lay a hand on me, you’ll wipe out your family!"

Gao Xuan leisurely said, "I suggest you make your last words meaningful."

"Don’t do anything rash, ah, ah..."

Before Young Master Zhang could finish, he was tossed like an arrow into the bubbles.

Then, the same massive Fish Demon emerged from the water, its mouth bloody, even with a strip of torn clothing on it.

The Fish Demon accurately bit Young Master Zhang. Its jaws closed, and Young Master Zhang’s screams abruptly ceased.

Gao Xuan formed a Dao Seal with his hand, pointing at the Fish Demon: "Perish, you fiend."

A bolt of Thunder Light appeared out of thin air, fiercely striking the Fish Demon. The blazing thunder emitted an earth-shattering roar, electric light spreading and flashing.
