CHAPTER 354: CHAPTER 354: HEAVEN-COVERING BELL CAPTURES TIGER DEMON

Upon hearing Lu Yuanshan’s words about taking Yang Wan’Er back to the Cyan Mountain Sect for adoption, the villagers were taken aback, thinking they must have misheard.

The first to react was Uncle Li.

Seeing Yang Wan’Er silent, clearly not expecting Lu Yuanshan to say such things and unsure how to respond, Uncle Li hurriedly asked her if she was willing to follow the Immortal Master to the Cyan Mountain Sect for cultivation.

To the villagers, this was not just adoption, but also an opportunity for an immortal fate.

After experiencing the Cat Demon’s attack, everyone realized even more the frailty of mortals.

Only by cultivating the immortal dao could one protect themselves and their loved ones.

For Yang Wan’Er to join an Immortal Sect meant she would at least not have to worry about her livelihood in the future.

Half of the villagers opened their mouths, suggesting Yang Wan’Er follow Lu Yuanshan and his sister.

For a moment, Yang Wan’Er was at a loss.

She had never thought of leaving Little River Town.

Being young and inexperienced, the young girl clearly couldn’t make a decision right away, and didn’t know what the Cyan Mountain Sect was.

"Whether to go or not depends on you alone; the voices around you are just references."

Noticing Yang Wan’Er’s expression, Lu Yuanshan wasn’t in a hurry for her to give a definitive answer.

He could foresee that when faced with such a choice, she must be bewildered and would need time to think it over carefully.

So, Lu Yuanshan said another sentence.

"In towns surrounding Little River Town, there are also rumors of demon beasts rampant. We will temporarily leave Little River Town for a while, but in a few days, we will return."

"At that time, tell me your decision."

With those words, Lu Yuanshan glanced at Yang Wan’Er and bid farewell to everyone.

"Until we meet again. We will return in a few days."

"Please take care of this young girl."

Lu Yuanshan gave a final reminder.

The villagers, hearing this, quickly smiled and nodded, watching Lu Yuanshan take off with Lu Zhiwei on a beam of sword light, flying towards the distant horizon.

After leaving Little River Town, Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei, on the same afternoon, were heading towards another town east of Little River Town, when they looked down from the sky and saw a demon beast causing havoc in the town.

This town, named Xiantao Town, was famous for producing luscious and juicy peaches, which was the main industry supporting the town’s economy.

The demon beast rampaging in Xiantao Town was discovered by the Lu siblings first and was a First-Layer Foundation Establishment Tiger Demon.

When they found this Tiger Demon, it had just stormed into the market of Xiantao Town, causing great turmoil in an instant, frightening the surrounding villagers who fled in panic.

The marketplace was in chaos, filled with screams and cries of fear.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, a blue stream of light flashed across the street in the market, revealed upon closer inspection to be an ice-blue Flying Sword.

This scene immediately drew the attention of Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei.

This sword attack was not from them.

The one wielding the sword was a Female Cultivator from the Shenxiao Palace.

Seeing a cultivator taking action against the Tiger Demon, seemingly intending to eliminate the threat for the people, Lu Yuanshan glanced towards the Female Cultivator.

With that glance, he discerned her strength as being around the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation.

The ice-blue Flying Sword she commanded, though extremely fast with its prowess fluctuating with Water Attribute, had a decent lethality.

But against the Foundation Establishment Stage Tiger Demon, it posed no real threat.

Roar!

Sure enough, just as the ice-blue Flying Sword neared the Tiger Demon, the Tiger Demon reacted, unleashing a forceful Sound Wave Attack with a roar, slamming into the ice-blue Flying Sword.

This Sound Wave Attack, brimming with powerful Foundation Establishment Magical Power, was like a fierce gale, executed with extreme precision. It knocked the ice-blue Flying Sword flying in an instant.

Moreover, some nearby villagers, even just hit by the residual impact of this Tiger Roar Attack, clutched their ears in pain, their heads buzzing with confusion and panic.

Those slightly closer to the sound wave were knocked unconscious to the ground.

Seeing her sword attack not harm the Tiger Demon and instead being sent flying by a roar, the Female Cultivator wore a look of apprehension, hesitating whether to challenge the creature again, or at least lure it away from the crowd.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a whistling sound behind her.

Turning her head, she saw a large, bronze-colored bell-shaped Magical Artifact soaring through the air, emitting a strong Foundation Establishment presence, descending over the Tiger Demon.

"Foundation Establishment Cultivator?!"

Feeling the aura from this Magical Artifact, Xu Shuiyao’s face lit with joy while her heart was also slightly apprehensive.

From the looks of it, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was indeed making a move against the Tiger Demon.

Whiz, whiz!

The dark gold bell expanded, reaching over two zhang in size. Despite its size, its speed was quite stunning, closing in on the Tiger Demon in a blink of an eye.

"Capture!"

With a clear shout, Lu Zhiwei wielded the Heaven-Covering Bell, attempting to enshroud the Tiger Demon.

This was her first time using this bell in actual combat, and she was still somewhat inexperienced in wielding it.

This Magical Artifact, along with the Cyan Cold Mirror, both Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, were treasures Lu Yuanshan obtained while exploring the Deserted Island Fire Realm with Yang Zhengyuan, Bai Yuji, and Liu Hanyan. He gifted them to Lu Zhiwei.

The Heaven-Covering Bell obscured the sky, spanning across the void, casting a massive shadow over the Tiger Demon.

The region under its shadow bore a tremendous magical pressure that sought to suppress and trap its enemies.

Having reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Tiger Demon possessed some intelligence and was well aware of the situation.

Naturally, it wouldn’t venture into the bell’s attack range. Just as the bell was about to enshroud it, the Tiger Demon sprang to the side, avoiding the impending attack.

Compared to the Cat Demon of Little River Town, this Tiger Demon’s agility was not inferior.

Having failed to capture the Tiger Demon, Lu Zhiwei wasn’t discouraged, instead intensifying her assault, maneuvering the Heaven-Covering Bell again towards the Tiger Demon.

Five or six times consecutively, the Tiger Demon managed to evade the attacks from the bell with no injuries.

The Tiger Demon dodged swiftly, its movements filled with agility.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanshan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He decided not to just watch from the side, so he summoned the Primordial Magnetic Treasure Bottle. The bottle’s mouth glowed brightly, discharging Primordial Magnetic Divine Light towards the Tiger Demon to intervene, helping Lu Zhiwei capture the Tiger Demon.

This was the perfect opportunity for his sister to practice her skills and become more familiar with the Heaven-Covering Bell.
