For a while.
Flames burst forth, rocks flew everywhere, and an energy tide swept across the entire Lanruo Temple.
In just one round of combat, the difference in strength between the two sides became apparent, and the thousand-year-old tree demon felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"You stinking monks, I'll remember this debt. You're lucky today, humph!"
After the thousand-year-old tree demon finished speaking, it began to burrow into the ground, clearly intending to escape.
However, how could Fahai allow her to have her way?
Fahai is known as the Holy Monk who catches demons. His reputation in the world of the White Snake was earned through bloodshed, making all demons tremble with fear. His greatest skill is catching demons.
"Demon, where do you think you're going! Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Vajra Flame, Flying Dragon in the Sky!"
next moment.
Fahai's body erupted with even hotter flames, and his staff transformed into a fire dragon that descended from the sky, slamming into the ground with immense energy and shaking out the thousand-year-old tree demon that had been hiding underground.
boom! ! !
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.
This attack not only forced the thousand-year-old tree demon out, but also destroyed half of Lanruo Temple.
Not far away. (The last part appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen, and the others were thrown over by the energy ripples and nearly buried by the collapsing rubble. 4.
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Such a powerful mage! I've cultivated for decades, yet I'm not even a tenth as good as him. What a disgrace!"
Yan Chixia spat out some crumbs, staring blankly at Fahai's figure. ④
Ning Caichen helped Nie Xiaoqian up, and subconsciously exclaimed, "Yes, this mage is indeed very strong. From the moment he made his move, he was completely dominating her. The thousand-year-old tree demon couldn't gain the slightest advantage against him."
At this point, Ning Caichen finally felt relieved. 9.
He had been worried that Master Fahai wouldn't be able to suppress the thousand-year-old tree demon within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but now it seemed he had worried unnecessarily. Fahai's combat prowess far exceeded his expectations, which was a good thing.
Nie Xiaoqian, standing to the side, gaped with her mouth agape in an "O" shape, her eyes wide, her heart churning with turmoil. 5
Swish swish swish—stab
The thousand-year-old tree spirit, severely injured, dared not linger. Moving swiftly like a giant python, it attempted to escape using the complex terrain of the bushes. (Hedgehog)
Seeing this, Fahai remained calm. With a gentle wave of his hand, he retrieved the nine-ringed staff, then, chanting incantations, he suddenly hurled it, embedding it precisely into the trunk of the thousand-year-old tree. 4
"Ah..."
The thousand-year-old tree demon screamed, its serpentine body writhing in agony, trying to break free of its restraints.
But her struggles were futile. The six-syllable mantra of Buddhism manifested on the nine-ringed staff, falling like the power of stars, something she simply couldn't resist.
Only now does the thousand-year-old tree demon realize just how terrifying Fahai truly is!
"Great Golden Bowl, collect!"
Fahai then used another magical artifact, the Purple Gold Bowl, which immediately shone with golden light, like a swallowing vortex, and absorbed the thousand-year-old tree demon into it.
After being taken into the golden bowl, the thousand-year-old tree demon knew that all was lost, but she had cultivated for more than a thousand years and was unwilling to die like this, so she begged for mercy.
"Master, I was wrong. I will never again absorb yang energy to harm people. Please give me a chance to repent... I was blind and offended you before. As long as you forgive me, I am willing to pay any price."
"Hmph! A demon is a demon; old habits die hard!"
Fahai snorted coldly, cast a magic seal to cover the golden bowl, and then rose up from his feet to appear in front of Ning Caichen.
When he noticed Nie Xiaoqian, his eyes widened and he subconsciously raised his hands to form a hand seal.
"Master, stop! You mustn't lay a hand on Xiaoqian! She's a good ghost!"
Ning Caichen quickly spoke up, worried that the other party might unleash the Great Heavenly Dragon at the slightest provocation, at which point even Xiaoqian would be over.
Fortunately, the summoned Fahai was 100% loyal. Upon hearing Ning Caichen's words, he immediately stopped and showed him the golden bowl, saying, "My lord, the thousand-year-old tree demon has been suppressed and will be refined in less than half an hour. Do you have any further instructions?"
"Of course, besides Xiaoqian, let's kill all the female ghosts nearby."
"Yes, just what I wanted!"
Upon receiving Ning Caichen's order, Fahai set off immediately.
Not long after.
The space around Lanruo Temple trembled, ghosts howled and wolves howled, and the demonic aura dissipated.
After a short while, the demon-catching master Fahai disappeared.
After the thousand-year-old tree demon was killed, the crisis at Lanruo Temple was temporarily resolved, and Ning Caichen also led Nie Xiaoqian to her urn of ashes.
.......
Chapter 32: Walnut from the Hall of Rebirth joins the group chat, unlocking the Multiverse Mall.
"Ning Caichen, where did that demon-catching master go? He's nowhere to be found."
After leaving Lanruo Temple.
Yan Chixia kept following Ning Caichen, asking questions incessantly, because Fahai's displayed strength was too astonishing. The scene of him overwhelming the thousand-year-old tree demon deeply shocked him.
"Senior, I already said I don't know. Perhaps Master Fahai has already traveled the world."
Ning Caichen carefully held Nie Xiaoqian's urn and said without turning his head.
"No, that demon-catching master just now addressed you as 'sir.' Even if he were leaving, wouldn't he have at least said goodbye?"
"I really don't know, I'm not actually that familiar with him."
Faced with Yan Chixia's persistent questioning, Ning Caichen was at a loss. He then made up some excuses to get away with it, and finally his ears were at peace.
half a month later.
Ning Caichen finally brought Nie Xiaoqian's soul back to the countryside, buried her ashes, and took the opportunity to open the chat group and complete his daily check-in.
However, my luck was so-so this time; I only managed to sign in with one [Low-Tier Evil-Repelling Talisman], which was a one-time consumable item.
Ning Caichen shook his head in disappointment, then opened the chat group to check the 99+ unread messages.

The multiverse communication group, group chat interface.
Qiao Feng: "Hahaha, I have some news to tell you all. I have been appointed as the Southern King by the Emperor of Liao."
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke: "Impressive. I didn't expect that you would have such an opportunity after only ten days of not posting."
Qiao Feng: "This is a long story. I had previously sworn brotherhood with Emperor Yelü Hongji of the Liao Dynasty, and then I saved his family. Only then could I receive such a reward. It can be said that I risked my life for it. I am worthy of this title of Southern King."
Jian Jiuhuang: "Alright, alright, I understand. There's nothing to brag about. It's just an official position, nothing special. You might as well just honestly complete your daily check-ins. A terrestrial immortal can kill at least three thousand armored soldiers with a single sword strike. If I were to use the incomplete Grass Script Sword Technique, I could kill tens of thousands of soldiers with a single strike. What's so great about you, the Southern King? (picking nose.jpg)"
Qiao Feng: "Cough cough cough, I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you, Sword Immortal, I was wrong."
The ten-year-old boy from Ice and Fire Island: "I'm too scared to speak after signing in for the Ice-Ice Fruit."
My name is Bai Yuekui: "Are there really such powerful humans in this world? (Silently observing.jpg)"
Scholar Ning Caichen: "@Jian Jiuhuang. Senior, you're so amazing, do you still accept disciples?"
Jian Jiuhuang: "No, no, I have no intention of taking on a disciple today. I'll ask again in a few days. Maybe I'll take on a disciple if I'm in a good mood someday."
Scholar Ning Caichen: "Yes, I understand."
Qiao Feng: "Hey, Ning Caichen, you've finally shown up! It's been half a month. I thought you'd been eaten by a female ghost."
Skyscraper Xie Yanke: "This kid got some Master Summoning Card by signing in before, and then nothing happened. I don't know what's going on."
When asked this question, Ning Caichen didn't hide anything and told the whole story, including the matter of burying Nie Xiaoqian.
Qiao Feng: "I didn't expect you to be such a devoted lover. That was quite a move."
Motian Jushi Xie Yanke: "I must say, I also greatly admire Ning Caichen's courage, daring to even sleep with ghosts."
The scholar Ning Caichen said, "The old gentleman upstairs is wrong. Sometimes, meeting someone is such a wonderful thing."
Skyscraper Xie Yanke: "What you called a one-night stand."
Scholar Ning Caichen: "..."
Ning Caichen simply stopped talking.

The turbulent lands of Kyushu.
Jiang Bai, as the group owner, had been paying attention to the information in the chat group, but he did not join the group chat army.
"These guys are so talkative, it won't be long before the chat group upgrades to LV2."
Jiang Bai muttered to himself, just as he was about to close the chat group.
The system notification popped up without warning.
