Chapter 1483: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (Twenty-Seven)
"Son-in-law, we are in trouble!"
On this day, Ye Xiangming suddenly summoned Wang Chen, who was resting at home, to the county government office urgently, with a solemn expression on his face.
It turned out that just last month, the martial arts masters sent by Fucheng and the masters of the Imperial Palace's Divine Forbidden Division jointly encircled and suppressed the Han Bao, but as a result, they once again lost their troops and returned home defeated.
This drought monster has been raging in Changyi Prefecture for more than a year. It is the main culprit of the drought, leaving countless people homeless and becoming disaster victims.
The imperial court and the city carried out several sieges, but in the end they failed to capture this cunning and powerful drought demon.
On the contrary, many experts and strong men were lost.
Originally, this failure had nothing to do with Qing'an County, but Ye Xiangming obtained accurate information, and the wizards of Baiyunguan used special means during the encirclement and suppression process to drive the drought demons towards Qing'an County.
If you can't kill him, just chase him away, and you will use a poisonous trick to divert trouble to the east!
The reason is inseparable from the killing of the inspection envoy sent by Fucheng to Qing'an County.
In the year of the great disaster, the royal power did not extend to the counties and villages. In fact, the prefectural government had nothing to do with Qing'an County. After all, Ye Xiangming's method of taking advantage of large households was a normal method in other counties.
But the gentlemen in Fucheng couldn't easily swallow this bad breath. It was completely reasonable to take advantage of the opportunity to encircle and suppress the drought demons and throw this huge trouble to Qing'an County.
"What do you think we should do?"
He was so anxious that he was visibly panicking.
It's not that the county magistrate is timid, but that the Han Demon is undoubtedly a natural disaster-level monster to people in the mortal world.
The imperial court, Baiyun Temple and the power of the city were all helpless against it.
How can the small Qing'an County resist?
Once the drought demon enters the realm of Qing'an County, the current situation that Qing'an County has managed to maintain will inevitably collapse.
At that time, the underground water supply will be cut off, and hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to drink from wells. It would be weird not to cause chaos!
The more Ye Xiangming thought about it, the more scared he became, and 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 it to me to deal with this drought demon."
"What?"
Ye Xiangming suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "You said you would deal with it?"
He shook his head subconsciously: "No, it won't work. You can't deal with Hanbao. You are asking for death!"
Although Wang Chen is very strong, the Han Demon is a legendary evil creature, a demon that only immortal cultivators can conquer!
How can a mortal body resist a powerful demon?
“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 Mansion unless there is no other way."
Ye Xiangming couldn't persuade Wang Chen and couldn't help but swallowed: "Then how many people are you going to bring to encircle and suppress?"
His eyes lit up: "There's no need to kill him, as long as he can drive the drought demon back."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I am enough alone."
To deal with a dangerous creature like the Drought Demon, large numbers of people are of no use, and will instead become a burden.
"Father-in-law, please help me take good care of Dai'er. Don't tell her the truth yet. Wait until I come back."
Seeing that Wang Chen's will was so strong, Ye Xiangming had no choice but to say: "Well, you must be careful. Don't force yourself if the situation is overwhelming. Safety is the top priority!"
Wang Chen nodded: "I understand."
Because the situation was urgent, he didn't waste too much time. He immediately took the long bow, Mo Dao and other weapons, and then hurriedly left Qing'an County on a horse.
??????55.??????
Go north to stop the drought demon!
He went alone and quickly ran out of Qing'an County.
As soon as he left Qing'an, Wang Chen could feel how bad the current situation in Changyi Mansion was.
Due to a severe drought throughout the year, the earth was cracked, the rivers dried up, and the ponds and pools completely disappeared. As far as the eye could see, there was a yellow and decayed scene, with not much green left.
Mummy skeletons can be seen lying on the ground 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 some counties have already seen people exchange their children for food!
Wang Chen flew all the way, but he didn't see any human habitation. The former countryside had been reduced to ruins.
Although the area of Changyi Prefecture is vast, it is not very difficult to find Hanba.
Because where this kind of natural disaster demon appears, the red land is thousands of miles high and the heat is suffocating, and it is also accompanied by all kinds of strange phenomena.
So Wang Chen only drove for two days before he discovered the traces of Hanbao.
The information obtained by Ye Xiangming was not wrong. This powerful demon was indeed heading towards Qing'an County.
But Wang Chen hadn't seen Hanbao yet, so he first encountered a team on the road.
This team is quite strange, consisting of seven knights. The leader is a Taoist priest wearing a green robe and a Taoist crown. The other six knights are all elite, tough and fully armed.
The knight who fell behind was throwing some kind of liquid with 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 took the lead in saluting Wang Chen and asked: "May I ask a good friend, where do you want to go?"
Wang Chen reined in his mount and said with a smile, "Changyi Fucheng."
"Then this road is blocked."
The middle-aged Taoist priest said: "This is Zhang Daozi of Baiyun Temple. I advise all believers to turn around quickly and don't waste their lives."
Baiyun Temple!
Wang Chen sneered and said, "If I read it correctly, you are trying to lure the drought demon to Qing'an County, right?"
Although he didn't know what method the other party used, the actions of this group of people were too obvious.
As soon as "Han Ba" was spoken, Zhang Daozi and the six knights changed their expressions at the same time.
The Taoist priest from Baiyunguan immediately raised his hand to put on the talisman, and shouted sternly at Wang Chen from a distance: "Quiet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the talisman in his palm suddenly turned into a burning fireball, shooting toward Wang Chen like an arrow from a string.
The distance between the two sides was only a dozen steps, and the fireball shot in front of Wang Chen in a matter of breaths.
boom!
Before the fireball could reach it, Wang Chen drew out his sword and slashed it into the air, causing countless fire points to fly in all directions.
"kill!"
The six knights immediately flanked Wang Chen from the left and right. They all drew their swords and cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.
Zhang Daozi took out the second talisman.
However, how could Wang Chen give them a chance to attack calmly? He immediately grabbed the left and right sides of the saddle with both hands, tore open the bag and grabbed the long handle and blade, and assembled the Mo Dao in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, he jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Zhang Daozi in the air.
The Mo Dao in his hand brought out an unparalleled stream of light and chopped it down towards the middle-aged Taoist priest's head!
Zhang Daozi was horrified and hurriedly raised his palm to flash the talisman: "Protect..."
As a result, as soon as the talisman in his hand lit up, it was split into two halves by Wang Chen's Mo Dao!——
