Drip, drip...
The sound of saliva dropping was unusually distinct.
The possessed governnt official stood in place, stiff all over, tiptoeing, hunched in a weird posture.
This was not a human stance at all, more like that of so animal.
Especially that mouth which remained agape, saliva continuously dripping down.
Li Yan’s eye twitched involuntarily as he couldn’t help but speak,
"This respected predecessor, is this your first ti?"
Under his command, only one governnt official was dispatched to the Chamber of Comrce to call for Lv San, with everyone else around too scared to act rashly.
He certainly wasn’t foolish enough to anger this Tuo demon.
Having seen its true form, he knew it was an existence on another level; even the proficient Liu Gang, he estimated, would likely not have been its match.
If it were startled into a rampage, who knew how many would die.
Dealing with it would require the orthodox use of a massive magic platform.
But it seed it was likely the first ti for this one to possess a body, as it hadn’t gotten control even after a long while, looking like a complete fool.
Hearing Li Yan’s question, the Tuo demon slowly raised its head, its gaze icy cold, continuing to drool with a crooked mouth.
Li Yan, left without options, simply stopped asking.
It seed this one had no desire to talk with him at all.
anwhile, the governnt officials nearby were already trembling with fear, and would have fled if not for Li Yan’s explicit instructions.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Lv San hurried over. Seeing the situation, he imdiately went on alert, "What happened?"
The governnt official didn’t understand such matters, of course, and hadn’t explained clearly.
Li Yan whispered, "That one from the lake."
Lv San instantly understood and stepped forward to greet respectfully, mumbling various muttering sounds clearly using a higher language.
The Tuo demon replied in the sa higher language, which was obviously more fluent than human speech, though it sounded like it had a thick phlegm in its mouth.
The two exchanged words back and forth for quite a while.
Then, Lv San turned to look at the governnt officials, speaking sternly, "You all back off, and rember not to cause any trouble."
The officials scurried out of the alley as if pardoned.
Lv San then looked at Li Yan and said, "This respected predecessor, known as Tuo Master, has requested our help for a favor."
"What is it?"
"Finding soone to help him detoxify and heal."
"What?"
Li Yan was sowhat surprised, "Soone managed to hurt her?"
He rembered that this Tuo demon had entered dreams to guide Lv San using the Illusion Realm, taking the form of an old woman, and should be female.
He had seen the Tuo demon’s form; its scales were tough as refined iron and very thick, likely only a modern firearm could possibly make a small dent.
Further, its magic and spells were quite breathtaking.
He found it difficult to conceive that it had been injured.
"Not a human."
Lv San said, "There’s another formidable creature hidden in East Lake, known as the East Lake Ancestor. This respected predecessor is its sworn enemy, and they have both incurred injuries in their battles."
"The East Lake Ancestor used a powerful Gu Technique. The respected predecessor now relies solely on Cold Spring Water from the water veins below to suppress it. If the cure isn’t found soon, once the other side recovers and drives the Gu Worms again, there will be grave trouble."
"Cold Spring Water?"
Li Yan pondered for a mont before asking, "Can you ask her what exactly happened in that Baotong Zen Temple well?"
Lv San nodded, turning around to mutter again.
"It’s related to that old demon of East Lake."
After inquiring, Lv San said, "The East Lake Ancestor is a toad demon, with long cultivation and formidable power, fond of making holes in underground water veins, frequently causing water vein redirection."
"Around Wuchang City, there used to be another water creature with equally profound Dao, often joining forces with the East Lake Ancestor to head to Jiangbei to snatch the Guardian Treasure from this respected predecessor."
"But then the water creature caused havoc, swallowing boats on the river and was Suppressed and Killed by the Baotong Zen Temple. The Tuo Master just happened to secure the treasure and ca for revenge, not expecting the East Lake Ancestor has also refined a formidable Gu."
"I see."
To Li Yan, this sounded both absurd and amusing.
Now, the Human Clan dominated Divine State, but amongst the wild mountains and great marshes, various other beings cultivated too. So avoided humans, while others hard people, becoming enemies.
The orthodox and the Magic Veins had their ways to deal with these demons.
He had thought they each kept to themselves, yet didn’t expect they too had grudges and secret fights against each other.
Lv San then whispered, "This Tuo Master predecessor can’t offer much in reward, but I’ve cultivated the ’Mountain and Sea Spiritual Response Scripture’ and can form a mutual pledge with her for mutual aid."
"Oh?"
Li Yan’s eyes imdiately lit up, "Agree to her terms. I’ll find soone tonight. Also, ask her for so Cold Spring Water to restore the well water..."
This Tuo demon was no ordinary force, nor was it the kind of demon who caused trouble everywhere. Forming an alliance with it could beco a crucial foundation for the team when necessary.
He hadn’t forgotten that according to the "Mountain and Sea Spiritual Response Scripture," the Ancient Witch Sect was powerful not only because it controlled human world sacrifices but also due to alliances made with Mountain Gods and spirit monsters.
Such opportunities were rare in today’s world.
Lv San, eyes also alight with excitent, quickly communicated with the Tuo Master.
Whoosh~
In no ti, a stream of black smoke billowed out from the official’s mouth, taking a turn in mid-air and swiftly sinking into the well.
The governnt official collapsed onto the ground, gradually coming to with a blank expression, cluelessly looking around.
Li Yan hurried over to comfort him a few words and called the waiting officials to buy more than a dozen gourds, tossing them all into the well.
Splash!
The water in the well churned, and the gourds were all engulfed before being forcefully ejected from the well monts later.
Li Yan caught each one, feeling an intense chill to the bone.
He couldn’t help but smile and said, "No need to be afraid, everyone. The issue is resolved. The underground channel connects to East Lake, and silt from the riverbed got into the waterway. By tomorrow, the well water will start clearing up."
