Chapter 1299: Chapter 1285: Great Demon

Eliminating the threat of Three Rivers River is the team’s task.

At Li Yun’s strong request, the village chief quickly led everyone to the bank of Three Rivers River.

From a distance.

This Three Rivers River is incredibly wide, with the sunlight shining on its banks, the water sparkling, and the current flowing with a rushing sound.

The scenery here is quite pleasant.

However now, large waves occasionally roll over the river’s surface, which is indeed very unusual.

Li Yun frowned, the demonic aura permeated the surroundings, there might really be a Great Demon lurking beneath the river, this isn’t an ordinary task.

The village head of Sanhe Town said, "The demon under the river has already eaten several of our people, we don’t even dare to go out to sea anymore. Most of the time, our Sanhe Town relies on going out to sea to fish for a living.

If we can’t go out to sea.

Many residents in town have already run out of reserve food, and it might lead to a famine."

The village chief frowned and looked at the Immortal Masters, "Sirs, you must resolve this Water Demon’s calamity."

Li Yun nodded, "Rest assured, we’ll handle this matter. Our Star Shining Sect will not allow such demon creatures to act recklessly. Village chief, you can go back and rest. We will notify you once we resolve the water calamity here."

"Alright, thank you Immortal Masters, thank you."

The village chief hastily kowtowed.

Li Yun nodded, his gaze returned to the inside of Three Rivers River, then he said to a few companions, "I’ll go down first to take a look. If there’s any anomaly, I’ll return to inform you immediately."

Baiyu naturally agreed to this plan.

After all, someone was working for free.

And Li Yun’s strength wasn’t bad, even if he encountered danger, he should be able to escape.

The little chubby beside them had even less combat ability, more like a couch potato, other than having some research in herbs, he had no other accomplishments.

Monk Xuanmu clasped his hands in prayer, showing a compassionate expression, "Brother Li, please be careful."

Li Yun nodded.

Although these people weren’t particularly strong, they knew better than to show off recklessly. Understanding cooperation and following commands is best, they’re not hopeless.

He took out an Elixir from his pocket, swallowed it, then took a deep breath and dived into the water.

Earlier, it was as if a bomb had dropped in the water, with a loud bang, huge splashes were sent flying.

Amidst the parted water waves.

Li Yun moved forward effortlessly, continually advancing deeper.

Soon, he discovered a creature in the water, growing limbs and covered in Dragon Scales, resembling a Flood Dragon.

However.

This Flood Dragon-like creature didn’t possess the majesty of a dragon, only overwhelming demonic aura, which Li Yun could perceive even with his eyes closed.

"Such strong demonic aura, this beast must have cultivations of over a hundred years."

Li Yun did not dare to underestimate it in his heart.

A demon’s cultivation is generally counted after gaining intelligence.

One hundred years of cultivation means a hundred years of training.

He had only been on the path of Immortal Cultivation for merely sixty years.

Moreover, demons’ physical strength is naturally far superior to humans’, within the same level, generally, it takes two Cultivators to defeat one demon Exotic Beast.

Moreover, it’s in the water, which is this demon’s home ground.

Once a fight begins, Li Yun feels he probably isn’t the opponent, he needs a way to draw the demon out of the water, then with the combined strength of four people to besiege it, that would be the safest approach.

Thinking of this.

Li Yun wanted to probe the depth of this demon, so he prepared to strike out. But at that moment, a bizarre bell sound suddenly rang underwater.

The Flood Dragon-like creature suddenly shook its limbs, wiggled its tail, and swam away at high speed, disappearing in front of Li Yun.

"This thing isn’t wild!"

At once.

Li Yun immediately judged that the bell sound was definitely someone summoning this demon.

He didn’t hesitate any longer, turning back to the shore.

The three people waiting on the shore sighed in relief seeing Li Yun return safely. For as long as Li Yun faced issues, it would hamper their operations too.

After all, they’re from the same sect.

No one wants anything to happen to the others.

Li Yun shook off the water on him, and said to the three, "Below, there is a giant snake, it has grown limbs and is covered in scales, it’s potentially transforming into a Flood Dragon.

I wanted to test it.

But suddenly a bell sounded underwater, and the giant snake vanished instantly.

I suspect.

That demon probably isn’t wild, someone’s been feeding it, and the attacks in the Three Rivers River are probably orchestrated by someone, it’s not a demon calamity but a man-made disaster."

Hearing Li Yun’s words, everyone frowned.

If it’s true, then the matter is a bit troublesome because a wild demon and a man-nurtured demon are completely different concepts.

"Do you know which direction it fled?"

At this time.

Monk Xuanmu suddenly asked.

Li Yun raised his hand and pointed in one direction.

Monk Xuanmu took a deep breath, joined his fingers, and ran them over his eyelids, a flash of golden light passed through his eyes.

At once.

He seemed to pinpoint the direction in which the giant snake fled.

"We can pursue now and capture the person raising the demon."

Monk Xuanmu said with great confidence, "This humble monk has a Magic Technique that can trace the demon’s trail, how about it?"

Hearing Monk Xuanmu’s words.

Everyone thought for a moment and immediately decided to pursue!

Lingering longer wouldn’t reveal anything.

If they caught up and saw the demon’s traces, pinning down its underlying handler, they could solve the problem at its root.

The four of them took action quickly.

Monk Xuanmu led the way at the forefront because he was the only one who could locate and follow the demon’s trail, while the three behind advanced rapidly.

Very soon.

They arrived at a location where the river branched.

There were many underground rivers and caves there, with the Three Rivers River going straight through a large mountain, flowing forward.

Monk Xuanmu closed his eyes, and with a deep voice said, "That demon ran into the waterhole below the mountain, be cautious, the demonic aura is strong here, great danger likely lies ahead."

No need for extra reminders, the three were already on guard.

The group of four moved along the waterway, swiftly reaching the under-mountain cave, under the mountain peak’s dark abode.

Entering.

A strong stench of blood and rotting corpses overwhelmed them.

The four furrowed their brows.

On both sides of the underground river, bizarre corpses hung on the protruding cliffs.

Human and animal alike.

Most had been bitten into pieces, covered by wriggling insects.

"Purify!"

At once.

Profound Lady joined her hands in a prayer gesture, releasing a gentle golden light from his body, sweeping across the cliffs.

The golden light passed over the corpses.

The bodies melted like snow under the sun.

"Monk Xuanmu, have you noticed anything unusual?" Li Yun immediately asked.
