Chapter 398: One of the 36 Envoys of Dongming Mountain

Translator: CKtalon

What a powerful Bolt!?The aqua demonic aura immediately condensed into a cyan-shirted elder. There was a layer of aqua shield of light above his head, blocking the mighty strike of the two bolts of lightning!

This strike caused the aqua light shield to tremble violently. Lightning flowed everywhere, but the light shield held strong.

Xu Jingming’s expression changed slightly when he saw this.?An Earth Demon is indeed much stronger.

Although the cyan-shirted elder was secretly surprised by the might of the lightning, he still looked calm and confident. He smiled at the rather down-and-out blood-colored figure. “Young lady, Demon Vanquishers aren’t to be trifled with, right? Are you willing to follow me to Dongming Mountain?”

The blood-colored figure had been penetrated by 19 golden beams, and she had already become thin and weak. Especially after seeing the terrifying Quint-Bolt, she knew that she was no match for the Demon Vanquisher. She immediately said, “I’m willing to follow you to Dongming Mountain.”

“Very good.” The cyan-shirted elder smiled and nodded.

Xu Jingming was a little vexed. This Earth Demon came unfettered and had resisted his divine power, Quint-Bolt, head-on. He even recruited another demon, completely disregarding him.

Annihilate.?Xu Jingming had one thought.

Another bolt of lightning struck down from the clear sky, but this time, it struck the blood-colored figure.

The lightning was too fast!

“How dare you!” The cyan-shirted elder’s expression changed drastically. He could protect himself quickly, but in terms of flying speed… it was far inferior to the speed of lightning tearing through the void. He could only watch helplessly as the blood-colored figure was struck by the black and white lightning while being penetrated by the 19 golden beams.

“Ah!!!” With a miserable scream, the blood-colored demonic shadow instantly became extremely thin. Lightning continued to wreak havoc, completely scattering the remnants of the blood shadow.

A single Quint-Bolt strike killed the newborn blood shadow demon, leaving only a trace of its intrinsic demonic aura.

“How dare you!” The cyan-shirted elder was furious as he charged at the wisp of intrinsic demonic aura.

As long as he kept this wisp of intrinsic demonic aura, the female demon could make a full recovery after some time.

This was how demons were—they were undying as long as their obsessions lingered.

“Hmph.” Xu Jingming grunted coldly, and a huge golden net suddenly appeared!

This net was extremely huge, and it enveloped almost the entire residence. Every rope in the net was as thick as an adult’s arm, and the net woven from countless ropes naturally trapped the cyan-shirted elder as it enveloped the residence.

“This is?” The cyan-shirted elder was surprised. The moment the huge golden net enveloped him, he felt an endless burden on his shoulders before it even touched him.

His speed plummeted.

When these golden ropes landed on him, the binding force was tremendous.

The cyan-shirted elder looked at Xu Jingming in surprise.?Other than Bolt, he also possesses such an Entrapment Net spell?

Xu Jingming was using the basic mastery Inescapable Net!

After Bolt evolved to the divine power level, Xu Jingming recently reached the divine power level with Entrapment Net through his slow improvement. However, Protective Starlight was only at greater mastery for the time being.

Once one reached the level of a divine power, the spell’s might would naturally undergo a qualitative change.

“Entrap!” While Xu Jingming restrained the cyan-shirted elder, he naturally stored the female demon’s demonic aura wisp into a jade bottle easily.

“You actually aren’t taking Dongming Mountain into account. Fine!” The cyan-shirted elder was furious.

“You’re still so arrogant after being trapped by the Inescapable Net.” Xu Jingming put away the 19 golden beads and shook his head slightly. He then formed a seal with his hand, and black and white lightning struck down from the sky again.

The elder couldn’t easily dodge, and under the restraints of the Inescapable Net, he could only take the strike head-on.

The mighty lightning strike wounded the cyan-shirted elder, but the aqua-colored demonic aura healed his wounds.

“You just reached the fourth realm not long ago, right?” The cyan-shirted elder scoffed. “Very good, I’ll remember you. Break!”

With a furious roar, the cyan-shirted elder suddenly burgeoned in size and turned into a water-blue monster. He struggled with all his might, hoping to tear through the net.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xu Jingming didn’t stop at all. Black and white bolts of lightning struck the aqua-blue monster, wounding him in many areas, but the monster continued trying its best to tear through the net.

My Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers are only at the third realm after all! Even though I cultivate the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll and it’s considered refined enough among those at the same level, compared to the fourth realm’s Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers… The gap is still too great.?Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. Just the basic mastery of the divine power, Quint-Bolt, could only injure this Earth Demon.

Xu Jingming felt a little tired after using the divine power 12 times in a row. Every cast consumed his mental strength.

I either have to reach the fourth realm or improve my divine power further to have a chance of killing this Earth Demon by myself.?Xu Jingming came to a realization after the skirmish.

Crush.

With the golden rope breaking, the aqua-blue monster tore at the net with all its might.

Xu Jingming mobilized the power of heaven and earth with his Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers and easily mended the Inescapable Net.

“What?” The Earth Demon city envoy had worked hard to snap one piece of rope, but it was repaired in the blink of an eye. This made the city envoy feel that something was amiss!

Casting Quint-Bolt drains me mentally quickly, but I can do this for another hour just maintaining the Inescapable Net with the occasional repairs.?Xu Jingming didn’t attack and only used the Inescapable Net to trap the city envoy.

“Brother Wu Ming, do you need my help?”?A voice sounded in his ears.

Xu Jingming immediately recognized the Qi family’s patriarch’s voice.

“Sorry to trouble you, Brother Qi Chen,”?Xu Jingming replied.

…

Above the Qi family.

Qi Chen stood in the sky and looked in the direction of the Yufeng residence. Back when Xu Jingming struck out with his black and white lightning and the Earth Demon tried his best to block, the intensity from their aura clashing made Qi Chen sense it from afar.

This Brother Wu Ming is someone my sister wants to befriend,?Qi Chen thought.

His sister, Qi Xiao, had instructed her brother after contacting Redeye.

“Brother, Brother Wu Ming is now living in Cheng’an Prefecture. You have to take good care of him and try your best to befriend him,” Qi Xiao exhorted.

“Try my best to befriend him?” Qi Chen was puzzled back then. “Is he very influential? He’s even more influential than our Demon Cloud family?”

Qi Xiao only said, “Make friends with him. You’ll thank me in the future.”

“Make it clear to me—what’s his background?” Qi Chen’s patriarch asked, but his sister, Qi Xiao, didn’t say anything else. After all, although she knew that Redeye was a peerless genius of the Primordial Research Institute and had guessed that it was the same for Wu Ming, she tried her best to keep this a secret.

“Why are you being so mysterious?” Qi Chen was helpless.

However, he also knew very well that his sister was the most outstanding genius of the Demon Cloud family’s younger generation and had very high standards. Since his sister made such a request… it meant that Brother Wu Ming was definitely extraordinary in reality.

Thank you in the future??Qi Chen thought to himself.?What’s his background?

In the past month or so, Qi Chen had been silently observing. However, Xu Jingming hadn’t done anything in the past month or so; he was focused on studying Light Rays.

He finally made a move today. It looks like he’s considered a rookie among the fourth-realm Demon Vanquishers.?Qi Chen was a little puzzled as he watched the battle from afar.?I can’t tell what about him is outstanding.

Although he was puzzled, Qi Chen still took the initiative to send a voice transmission from afar.?“Brother Wu Ming, do you need my help?”

“Sorry to trouble you, Brother Qi Chen,”?Xu Jingming said.

Qi Chen’s eyes swirled as he clearly took in the Yufeng residence.

Whoosh!

He turned into an afterimage and streaked across the sky, heading straight for the Yufeng residence.

…

That’s quite a commotion.

Above the Demon Vanquishing Division, an elder looked in the direction of the Yufeng residence from afar. A mirror floated in front of him, and it displayed everything that was happening there.

An Earth Demon??The elder turned into a stream of light and flew to the Yufeng residence.

******

Outside the Yufeng residence, everyone could see the huge golden net that almost enveloped the entire residence through the courtyard walls. Every rope of the golden net was extremely clear. An aqua monster had already rushed into the air and was struggling frantically, but it couldn’t escape the net.

“An Earth Demon from Dongming Mountain.”

“Mr. Wu Ming is amazing. He’s fighting this Earth Demon.”

“He’s indeed a fourth-realm Demon Vanquisher.”

The other Demon Vanquishers present were rather surprised.

Under normal circumstances, the gap between a third-realm Demon Vanquisher and a fourth-realm Demon Vanquisher was very obvious. The probability of them fighting someone stronger than them was negligible! Xu Jingming could do it because he cultivated top spells that belonged to the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage! Moreover, he could only do so after cultivating the divine powers to basic mastery.

As for ordinary Demon Vanquishers, their Dharmic powers were less refined, and their spells were much worse.

“Demon Vanquisher.” The aqua-blue monster roared, “Let me go quickly; otherwise, you will be in trouble!”

“Are you threatening me?” Xu Jingming looked at him.

“I’m a city envoy, one of the five Demon Gods and 36 envoys under Mountain Lord Dongming.” The aqua-blue monster continued, “I have many friends in Dongming Mountain. If you anger me, it will bring about trouble for you!”

“Oh, I’m terrified.” Xu Jingming smiled at him.

Looking at the Demon Vanquisher’s smile, the Earth Demon understood that the other party wasn’t afraid at all.

What should I do? What should I do??The Earth Demon was also anxious. This was the prefecture capital, and it was ultimately a place where Demon Vanquishers maintained stability. Even the demons of Dongming Mountain didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in the prefecture capital due to the numerous Demon Vanquishers.

As a city envoy, he traveled carefully and patrolled the surroundings to obtain information about the city. Now that he was trapped, the chances of encountering some powerful Demon Vanquishers in the prefecture capital grew with time.

“It’s my fault.” The aqua-blue monster lowered its head slightly. “I apologize to you. Please let me go. As long as you let me go, I, Zhang Xiu, will definitely repay you.”

Whoosh.

An afterimage streaked across the sky and landed beside Xu Jingming—it was a white-haired elder, Qi Chen.

“Huh? This Earth Demon is begging for mercy,” Qi Chen said in surprise.

“Patriarch Qi?” The aqua-blue monster condensed into a cyan-shirted elder and immediately bowed respectfully. “Patriarch Qi, I’m Zhang Xiu, one of the 36 envoys of Dongming Mountain. Please spare my life and let me go.”

Earth Demons usually had greater self-control and acted like normal humans.

“Whether you are released depends on Brother Wu Ming.” Qi Chen looked at Xu Jingming.

“Sorry to trouble you, Brother Qi Chen,” Xu Jingming said.

Qi Chen nodded.

“No.” The cyan-shirted elder’s eyes revealed despair as he shouted, “Demon God Qinghu and I are good friends. Mountain Lord Dongming thinks highly of me. If you kill me—”

Qi Chen flicked his sleeve, and an invisible wind swept past the cyan-shirted elder.

Mid-sentence, the cyan-shirted elder’s eyes widened as he silently dissipated, leaving only a wisp of intrinsic demonic aura that attempted to escape.

In terms of strength, Qi Chen was among the top five Demon Vanquishers in Cheng’an Prefecture. It was naturally easy for him to kill a city envoy.

“This wisp of intrinsic demonic aura is useless to me. Brother Wu Ming, keep it,” Qi Chen said. He was also firmly carrying out his sister’s suggestion—trying his best to befriend Brother Wu Ming.

“Thank you, Brother Qi Chen.” Xu Jingming thanked him and put the wisp of demonic aura into a jade bottle.

In the jade bottle, the two wisps of intrinsic demonic aura couldn’t be replenished by the powers of heaven and earth, so they naturally couldn’t cause any trouble.

“But you have to be careful next,” Qi Chen reminded. “Earth Demons are different from Human Demons. Earth Demons are more like ordinary humans, and they care about friendship. It’s very likely that a demon from Dongming Mountain will come specially for you.”

“Oh?” Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “Thank you for the warning, Brother Qi Chen. I’ll be careful.”
