CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 226: THE MONKEY KING WARMS UP

When Sun Yan drove the car into the graveyard, Yang Shengsi got out from the passenger seat and looked at Sun Yan’s graveyard, feeling an inexplicable chill in his heart.

"Does your place have any offerings to the deities?" Yang Shengsi hurriedly asked.

"Yes, of course. If you have nowhere to go during this time, stay at my place; those who want to harm you won’t gain any advantage here." Sun Yan calmly said as he walked into the main house.

Just as Yang Shengsi was about to follow him into the main house, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the door, arms crossed, blocking Yang Shengsi’s path.

The figure wore a white robe with silver armor, a battle skirt hung at the waist with a golden axe, the Celestial Eye on the forehead exuded authority—it was indeed Erlang Xiansheng Monarch.

"Who?" Yang Shengsi was startled and quickly jumped back, the branches on his body also swinging defensively.

Any slight movement or sign of danger would trigger a non-discriminatory counterattack from him.

"Master, why have you appeared? Is there any issue with this guy?" Sun Yan stopped and curiously asked, turning back.

Generally, if it wasn’t something very important, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao wouldn’t easily appear.

His sudden appearance clearly didn’t match his usual behavior, indicating that there must be something wrong with Yang Shengsi.

"Where did you get the Blood Refining Demon Vine, and you even had it planted inside you? Your intentions are truly malicious. Not to mention how the Blood Refining Demon Vine could even merge with a Mortal Physique. To nurture this Demon Vine in your body, you must have harmed plenty of innocent people, using their blood to irrigate you, right?"

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao coldly stared at Yang Shengsi, speaking in a hostile low voice.

Judging by his expression, it seemed that if Yang Shengsi’s answer was even slightly wrong, he would act immediately.

"Hmm..." Sun Yan fell into deep thought.

As expected, just as he had anticipated, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao indeed saw through Yang Shengsi’s secret with a single glance.

No wonder he is an old-school Immortal from the East, his experience and vision are certainly superior. Having the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao feels like having an encyclopedia.

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand." Yang Shengsi shook his head and firmly said.

Sun Yan took the opportunity to ask, "Master, this person is from centuries ago, imprisoned in a Blood Coffin by an alchemist, irrigated with blood. Although he is related to evil deeds, he might not be aware of it, merely following the alchemist’s orders. What exactly is this Blood Refining Demon Vine that you’re talking about?"

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao slowly explained, "There are three Immortal Mountains overseas. One is Penglai Immortal Island, where clouds and mist perennially shroud, and Immortal traces are hard to find. There are Immortals living on the island and there’s an elixir for Longevity,

the second is the Yingzhou Immortal Realm, where many Immortals reside, traveling on cranes and drifting on clouds. The third is the Abbot Immortal Mountain located in the vast East Sea, surrounded by the sea, palaces of gold and jade. Immortals enjoy raising exotic plants and beasts, mysterious and untraceable.

Once, I attended a banquet of the Three Immortals of Happiness, Prosperity, and Longevity at the Abbot Immortal Mountain, where I saw this Blood Refining Demon Vine. Even the Three Immortals didn’t know where this demon vine originated, only that it has a bloodthirsty nature, leaving devastation and barren land in its path, extremely resilient in life force,

Even during the End of Dharma Era, when the Abbot Immortal Mountain fell silent, I thought the Blood Refining Demon Vine had sunk with it to the bottom of the East Sea. Yet today, it astonishingly resurfaced."

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao sighed with emotion, "To think of planting the Blood Refining Demon Vine inside oneself, what a demonic talent. This thing is bloodthirsty and undying, if it can merge with a mortal’s body, it could indeed provide endless longevity for a mortal. But the cost is continuously drawing blood, a demon in every sense. If you don’t want chaos to wreak havoc on the world, you must be eradicated."

Sun Yan suddenly realized, and his gaze towards Yang Shengsi immediately harbored a hint of killing intent.

Previously, not knowing the situation with this person, offering help was one thing.

Now, learning from the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao that this guy was actually a blood-sucking demon, there’s no more room for mercy.

"No, that’s impossible, Master Xu wouldn’t do this to me. He couldn’t be like this, it’s you! You’re making this up! Master Xu just wanted to give me a chance at Longevity. He was too lonely, so he found a way for me to live long, to be by his side to keep him company." Yang Shengsi shouted in shock.

"You fool, even Immortals can’t achieve Longevity, why do you mortals keep harping on about it? It’s laughable, a folly, truly."

At that moment, the figure of the Monkey King appeared, carrying the Ruyi Golden Cudgel on his shoulder, and laughed.

"Three Eyes, will you handle this demon, or shall I?"

"If you’re free, go ahead." The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao said indifferently.

A mere Yang Shengsi was truly not worth his attention; taking action to subdue demons was just a matter of thought, nothing to be overly concerned about.

Conversely, this Monkey Sun, appearing without a decent battle since his presence, was undoubtedly itching for a fight, eager to exchange a few moves when seeing an opponent.

Knowing this, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao was too lazy to contend with him for it.

"Then I’ll take it on," the Monkey King laughed heartily and immediately swung the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, about to strike towards Yang Shengsi.

Just as Yang Shengsi prepared to counterattack, gunshots suddenly rang out from outside the graveyard, a bullet hitting the Monkey King’s chest squarely in the heart.

"Oh?"

The Monkey King looked down, only to find a bullet hole in his chest.

And in the next second, more bullets poured in from outside the graveyard, indiscriminately hitting both Yang Shengsi and the Monkey King.

Sun Yan quickly dodged inside the house, closing the door behind him.

He knew that the Monkey King and the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao didn’t need to hide from bullets indoors. Inviting them to hide inside would be a gross underestimation of the Immortals.

If these two Great Gods could be killed by bullets, Sun Yan’s jaw would truly drop to the ground.

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao looked towards the outside of the graveyard, seeing a group of special forces soldiers forcefully charging in with firearms.

While shooting, they threw flash grenades, attempting to control the situation directly.

If they were facing KB elements, it might have some effect. But what these soldiers didn’t realize was that their current targets were bona fide Immortals!

Even if they were merely avatars, they were Immortals, beyond the reach of ordinary mortals.

"Interesting! So interesting!"

As countless bullets sprayed towards him, the Monkey King laughed, swinging the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into a flourish with both hands.

The bullets flying at him were all deflected away by the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, not a single one managed to touch the Monkey King’s body.

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao stood proudly still, making no movement at all. All bullets approaching him fell straight into the ground in midway.

Within three feet of him, it became a no-fly zone.

"Not good, the opponent knows witchcraft, requesting support!"

The special forces outside the graveyard, witnessing this scene, collectively changed their expressions and hastily requested backup through their wireless earpieces.

In the Evil God Council, threat levels were classified into three categories.

The third category was ordinary monsters, like werewolves and the blood race—against them, modern firearms and weapons could still enable special teams to complete suppression.

The second category was wizards, a collective term for those who could use extraordinary means. Conventional firearms could no longer harm their lives.

The first category was Evil Gods, regarded as taboo beings within the Evil God Council.

At this moment, these special forces soldiers of the Evil God Council directly classified the Monkey King and the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao as second-category targets.

To deal with wizards, they must similarly dispatch wizards.
