Chapter 41 Auspicious Days in the Underworld
Seven days later, late at night, an auspicious day according to the underworld.
Lanruo Temple was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The "Tree Demon Granny's" magic power was released, transforming the entire Lanruo Temple into a magnificent golden mansion.
The mansion features vermilion lacquer walls and jade walls, painted beams and carved railings.
Bright red lanterns hang high, and incense and candles burn eternally in the underworld.
Nie Xiaoqian led a group of female ghosts, standing respectfully on both sides of the mansion.
Upon closer inspection, these female ghosts were dressed in brightly colored dresses and had exquisite and elaborate makeup.
In a twisted sense of humor, the female ghosts even wore shoes and socks that were completely out of step with the times beneath their light gauze skirts.
The two elements complement each other, creating a rather alluring effect.
Inside the mansion, the "Tree Demon Granny" transformed into the appearance of an old woman and waited quietly.
At midnight, three gongs sounded!
Outside Lanruo Temple, the earth suddenly surged, and countless streams of yin energy erupted!
In an instant, the entire temple was shrouded in an extremely terrifying, chilling aura.
The female ghost trembled with fear, and the tree demon dared not move an inch.
The yin energy was exhaled, condensing and not dissipating.
A moment later, a towering mountain appeared from the pitch-black yin energy!
The mountains are filled with countless miasmas and the howls of fierce ghosts, causing dark clouds to obscure the moon and startling birds and beasts into flight.
It was none other than the level 43 demon king—the Black Mountain Demon!
The Black Mountain Demon's strength is unparalleled in Lanruo Temple.
But he was, after all, a demon from the underworld, and could not fully adapt to the laws of the mortal realm.
Therefore, Black Mountain's true form only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
From the dense yin energy, a humanoid demon king, over ten feet tall, emerged!
His face resembled that of a demon king, and he held a staff made of human heads.
His feet tread upon the evil waves of yin energy, and his mouth spews forth the fierce light of the underworld.
The female ghosts all lowered their heads and dared not make any further movements.
The Tree Demon Granny leaped out and prostrated herself at the feet of the Black Mountain Demon: "Welcome, Master."
"snort."
The Black Mountain Demon snorted coldly, not even looking at the tree demon. His gaze lingered on the female ghost, his expression displeased.
"How could someone so ordinary become the consort of the Black Mountain Demon?"
The female ghosts dared not move even more, and "Grandma Tree Demon" was also trembling with fear.
Outside Lanruo Temple, a chilling aura lingered. Suddenly, the female ghost's dress fluttered, revealing a bewitching object that seemed to belong to a timeless era.
The Black Mountain Demon stared blankly at the female ghosts' shoes and socks for a moment.
The evil demon king licked his lips and suddenly laughed: "Hehe, you've got a clever idea. Get up."
The Tree Demon Granny finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It stood up and respectfully welcomed the Black Mountain Demon into the main hall, and then arranged for female ghosts to serve it on its left and right.
In an instant, Lanruo Temple became lively.
Some were playing musical instruments, some were brewing tea, some were dancing, some were massaging shoulders...
This truly pleased the Black Mountain Demon.
The Black Mountain Demon carefully examined the female ghosts around him, his gaze sweeping up and down, before pointing a finger and declaring, "It's you!"
Nie Xiaoqian's face immediately lit up with joy, and she knelt down at the feet of the Black Mountain Demon: "Yes!"
Seeing that the selection of concubines was over, "Grandma Tree Demon" relaxed.
It stood up and said to the female ghosts around it, "You blind fools, why aren't you preparing a feast?!"
"yes!"
The female ghosts retreated one by one, leaving only the Tree Demon Granny to accompany the Black Mountain Demon: "Master, I have prepared several human delicacies for you."
The female ghosts gracefully returned to the main hall, each carrying a tray in their embroidered hands.
Upon closer inspection, each tray contained a local specialty mountain delicacy.
It has everything: deer, tigers, leopards, fish, ducks, swallows, and sparrows.
Nie Xiaoqian makes her grand entrance, holding a jar of fine wine in both hands, and says softly, "Master, Grandma has gathered the essence of a hundred flowers and the spirit of the moon to brew this jar of fine wine to honor you."
When the "Tree Demon Granny" opened the jar, a rich aroma of wine immediately wafted out, making the surrounding female ghosts feel somewhat dazed and lightheaded.
The Black Mountain Demon, smelling the aroma of alcohol, became truly happy.
While the underworld may have wine, it lacks flowers, the sun, and the moon, and offers no taste like what is before our eyes.
Add to that delicious food and beautiful women, and it truly is an intoxicating experience.
The Black Mountain Demon grabbed the female ghost beside him, his large, fan-like hand roaming over her body, while tearing off a deer leg and taking a big bite.
Xiaoqian then poured out the fine wine and fed it to the Black Mountain Demon.
For a moment, the place was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Halfway through the banquet, the Black Mountain Demon looked at the Tree Demon Granny and said, "Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll grant you a small wish."
The tree spirit was taken aback, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Being able to serve my master is my greatest wish."
"Um?"
The Black Mountain Demon said suspiciously, "Have you drunk yourself into oblivion? Didn't you mention to me a few times before that a Taoist named Yan Chixia was always causing you trouble? Today I'll take care of him. I happen to be short of a ghost general."
The Tree Demon Granny's eyes darted around, and she immediately nodded, saying, "This, this... yes, that's exactly it! That Yan Chixia is ferocious and his cultivation is incredibly powerful. I am no match for him. Please, Master, take action and kill him!"
The Black Mountain Demon took a large gulp of wine, burped, and swayed as he stood up: "Where is Yan Chixia?"
"Our master is in a good mood today; it's not wise to start a fight. Let's drink and make merry instead. Besides, our master is drunk, and perhaps..."
"Um?!"
The Black Mountain Demon frowned, and immediately a dark, yin aura surged up, pressing down on the surrounding female ghosts, making them tremble and dare not move.
Even the tree spirit grandmother huddled on the ground, trembling.
The Black Mountain Demon looked at the Tree Demon Granny with cold eyes: "Have you forgotten that today is an auspicious day in the Underworld? Even in the mortal realm, my cultivation will not be diminished in the slightest. In contrast, those cultivators are quite uncomfortable! Quickly tell me, where exactly is Yan Chixia?"
The "Tree Demon Granny" shrank back, recalling Yan Chixia's words with the three cultivators, and said, "That Yan Chixia lives in Lanruo Temple and often causes me trouble!"
The Black Mountain Demon turned around and looked at the magnificent mansion, muttering, "Lanruo Temple, appear!"
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the mansion was instantly transformed into a raging aura of demonic energy!
Amidst the demonic aura, the outline of Lanruo Temple became increasingly clear.
In the blink of an eye, the dilapidated temple reappeared before the Black Mountain Demon.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows their laws."
Swish!
Along with Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia's surging magical power and awe-inspiring sword energy also appeared!
In an instant, terrifying supernatural powers and sword energy simultaneously arrived before the Black Mountain Demon.
"Ha, a mere trifle!"
The Black Mountain Demon stretched out its claws to block, and at the same time opened its mouth to spew out a breath.
click!
call--
The sword energy was blocked by his arm, and his supernatural power was completely dispersed.
Clearly, the Black Mountain Demon's strength far surpasses that of Yan Chixia!
The Black Mountain Demon looked at the bearded Taoist priest with a shocked expression and sneered, "You think your little tricks can fool me?"
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a terrifying gust of cold wind rushed straight towards the tree demon grandmother.
After the eerie wind passed, the tree demon grandmother disappeared, replaced by a female ghost holding a locust wood staff.
"You killed the tree demon, then lured me to the mortal realm, intending to eliminate me? Ha, how presumptuous of you... What?!"
The Black Mountain Demon was only halfway through his sentence when his expression suddenly changed drastically!
He felt his body stiffen and experienced sharp pain.
The Black Mountain Demon immediately mobilized his magic power to suppress the abnormal sensation, but was momentarily distracted.
Swish!
A turquoise sword light appeared, and the Black Mountain Demon's body was split in two!
