Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 257 - 256: Plague Demon of the Demon Suppression Hall [First Update]
Lin Heng's eyes slightly narrowed and disappeared from where he was.
When he reappeared, he was already carrying the unconscious Zhang Shishi in his arms.
"Goodness, what on earth happened?"
"Last time, the little girl was lively and full of energy, and now she's foaming at the mouth like a little sparrow?"
Looking at Zhang Shishi's defeated face and the white foam at the corner of her mouth.
The Black Bear Spirit was full of confusion.
In contrast, Bai Suzhen furrowed her brow and said somberly, "She just said the Plague Demon has appeared, could this be the reason?"
Bai Suzhen looked at Lin Heng, and Lin Heng understood. He placed one hand on Zhang Shishi's chest, followed by a surge of Purple Qi.
Lin Heng closed his eyes to sense, and after a moment, he opened them and said:
"Indeed, it's that foul energy."
He pondered, and this time, instead of using an Immortal Pill, he directly activated the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.
Immortal techniques operated.
Distinguishing clean from foul.
Under Lin Heng's control, sure enough, in no time, the foul energy identical to that inside the Little Sparrow Demon was extracted from Zhang Shishi's limbs and meridians.
The foul energy left her body, spreading around.
The Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish operated timely, devouring it completely.
About the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
Zhang Shishi's eyelashes finally fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
But the faces that met her eyes left her in a daze.
One was Bai Suzhen, whose skin was like snow, gentle and exceptionally beautiful.
One was the Black Bear Demon, exuding a powerful demonic aura yet wearing a Kasaya.
And there was one, the Suspended Demon Sword, emitting a sinister black aura.
"This is... where?"
She instinctively panicked, trying to get up to defend herself, but her body's weakness made her collapse instantly.
"You little girl, so soon you don't recognize Master Xiong?"
The Black Bear Spirit grinned, pretending to be angry.
"You... right, Qingfeng Temple, this is Qingfeng Temple?"
Zhang Shishi finally regained her composure.
At the same time, a familiar voice sounded.
"Dragon and Tiger Mountain, what exactly happened?"
As the Black Bear Spirit stepped aside, a young Daoist with an extraordinary aura and a tall figure appeared in Zhang Shishi's sight.
"Dao... Observatory Master Lin!"
Zhang Shishi's beautiful eyes filled with mist, and she hastily said:
"Dragon and Tiger Mountain is in grave danger, I beg the Observatory Master to save us!!"
She tried to get out of bed to kneel, but Bai Suzhen stopped her, saying softly:
"Just tell the Observatory Master what happened, no need for formalities."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shishi took a deep breath and then detailed the changes in Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
It turned out that the day the Demon Dragon stole the Celestial Master Sword from the Demon Suppression Hall, the four foundations of Dragon and Tiger Mountain emerged together to suppress the escaping demons.
Later, the six foundations of Maoshan, hearing the news, rushed over together.
Surrounded by the ten great foundations, the Demon Suppression Hall was expected to witness an earth-shattering battle, but unexpectedly, the rumored Plague Demon and the Heavenly Injury Star, who had escaped and were then suppressed again,
had been entangled in a long struggle over the years.
The two had already been severely wounded.
The ten great foundations seized this opportunity to try and completely eliminate the Plague Demon.
They opened an altar and performed rites, issuing divine talismans.
Everything went smoothly.
It seemed as though the Plague Demon was completely eradicated in the Demon Suppression Hall.
During those days, the Daoists of Dragon and Tiger Mountain were all filled with joy.
However, they did not expect that the destroyed Plague Demon was merely an illusion.
The real Plague Demon had silently parasitized one of the foundations.
Initially, no one noticed anything unusual.
But in reality, the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain, no, it should be the cultivation realm within a five-hundred-mile radius, had already been contaminated with the foul energy of the Plague Demon.
Until yesterday.
Even great cultivators could not avoid the plague poison, which finally erupted completely.
The five-hundred-mile radius around Dragon and Tiger Mountain subsequently became a toxic zone.
Lin Heng frowned, "How are those foundations?"
Zhang Shishi, still a bit weak, replied, "The ancestors have cultivation values reaching the heavens, and still have the strength to fight. Before sending me out, they already prepared to die and set up a sealing array around Dragon and Tiger Mountain."
At this point, Zhang Shishi looked at Lin Heng with an urgent gaze.
"The elders of Maoshan said only your Tai Chi Diagram can clear the foul energy."
"Observatory Master, the foul energy is still spreading, it's a matter of the world."
"I beg you to take action!"
The Plague Demon has always been a major disaster in the human world since ancient times.
Just like the legendary Drought Fiend.
Wherever the Drought Fiend went, nothing but desolation was left, and the people suffered greatly.
When the plague poison spreads, nine out of ten cities are empty.
Therefore, historically, those who held ceremonies to pray to the heavens often sought two things.
One was favorable weather, abundant fields, and plentiful crops.
The other was for the world to be clear and free of plague.
And the reason why Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Demon Suppression Hall mistakenly released one hundred and eight demons back then was also because that generation's Celestial Master Zhang was preoccupied with dealing with the plague.
This led to the story in Water Margin of Celestial Master Zhang praying for a cure for the plague, and Grand Commandant Hong inadvertently releasing the demons.
"Leave this matter to me, there's no need for you to worry. Rest well here."
Having said that, Lin Heng told Bai Suzhen and the others:
"Take care of the mountain gate, I'll be back soon."
The situation was urgent, and with no time for extra words, Lin Heng gave a quick instruction and then summoned the Demon Sword.
The Demon Sword hovered in the air, and once he landed on its blade, it transformed into a stream of light, leaving swiftly into the sky.
In truth, there was no need for Zhang Shishi to plead.
Lin Heng had long planned to refine the Immortal Pill and gift it to the Maoshan foundations before resolving the issue at the Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Demon Suppression Hall.
On one hand, it was naturally to help fellow Daoists rid them of a millennium-old disaster.
On the other hand, it was primarily for the rewards, to enhance his cultivation.
The last surge of Purple Qi Empowerment had allowed his cultivation to break through to the Celestial Human Fifth Layer, and now, to further advance, it required an extremely daunting amount of cultivation value.
Just like back at Shushan, he had casually slain a Celestial Human Realm ghost, but it wasn't enough to improve a small realm.
Now, what he needed to defeat were demons and malevolent spirits stronger than himself.
The Celestial Demon Emperor was obviously the best choice.
If not, then maybe he could look at how powerful the Heavenly Injury Star and Plague Demon were in the Demon Suppression Hall.
"All ten foundations fell victim to the Plague Demon, so its realm must not be low."
Lin Heng murmured to himself.
The Demon Sword beneath his feet emitted a young girl's voice.
"This place, the miasma is rising."
Lin Heng snapped back to reality and only then noticed that the clouds were already filled with foul energy.
"It's spread to here already?"
Lin Heng was slightly surprised. This place was over seven hundred miles from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, yet it had also become a toxic zone.
At this moment, sounds arose below.
"Help me... help me..."
"Why is this happening? My body, it's being corroded..."
"What exactly happened?"
"Ancestor, I'm almost done for... Ancestor, why are you foaming at the mouth?"
It was from cultivators hidden in the deep mountains.
Including many from the Demon Race.
They had all escaped from their caves, attempting to leave the pervasive miasma, but their bodies were weakened to the extreme, every step swirling their world.
The sound of bodies falling often echoed.
Even a thousand-foot Tiger King lay on the ground, wailing pitifully.
Seeing this, Lin Heng immediately activated an immortal technique, and the Tai Chi Diagram appeared in the sky.
