Jia Yucun's boat was surrounded by monsters, and his face was solemn. Among these monsters, there were four or five Yuanying realm monsters, comparable to him. There were also seven or eight Neidan realm monsters, who should not be underestimated.

If the fight starts, it will definitely be a fierce battle, and Jia Yucun can't help but feel a little hesitant.

At this time, the leading demon said to Jia Yucun, "I advise you not to interfere in this matter. Just hand over the girl to avoid endangering your own life. The Nascent Soul Realm is not easy to come by. You must cherish it."

But Jia Yucun also has his own difficulties, because the lady in the cabin is the daughter of the "Langtao Hermit" Lin Ruhai, whose "Turning Rivers and Seas Upside Down" technique is extremely powerful and is definitely not comparable to these monsters before him.

Especially since Lin Ruhai is the imperial salt inspector of the court, a seventh-rank official, and a close minister to the current emperor. He will definitely be able to ascend to the immortal world with the luck of the emperor in the future. He is exactly the person he wants to curry favor with.

It should be mentioned here that the immortal energy in the Small Thousand World is exhausted and the spiritual energy is thin. If a cultivator wants to cultivate and become an immortal as quickly as possible, he must undoubtedly rely on the luck of the Human Emperor.

With the luck of the Human Emperor, your cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort. The effect of you breathing in a breath of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is equivalent to others breathing in a hundred breaths.

In order to take advantage of the luck of the Human Emperor, one must enter the court as an official. The higher the official rank, the more luck one can take advantage of.

Now Jia Yucun wanted to curry favor with Lin Ruhai and enter the court as an official, so when Lin Ruhai entrusted his daughter Lin Daiyu to him to send to the Jia Mansion in Moling City, Lin Ruhai took on this important task without hesitation.

So Lin Ruhai wrote him a letter of introduction to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion in Moling City, currently serves as a Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Works, a fifth-rank official. Despite his fifth-rank status, Jia Zheng is a top aristocrat in Moling City, having inherited the first-class hereditary title of Duke of Rong along with Jia She.

If he could climb onto such a high branch, it would be a real step to heaven for Jia Yucun.

However, looking at the dozen or so monsters around him, if he died to protect Lin Daiyu today, he would probably end up dead.

Thinking of this, Jia Yucun's mind raced, and then he bowed to the demon cultivators in front of him and said, "My fellow Taoists, I'm afraid the lady in this cabin is not someone you can touch."

"Stop talking nonsense. What is there for us monsters to not touch? Isn't she just a little girl?" said a demon cultivator in the Inner Alchemy Realm.

Jia Yucun smiled faintly and said, "Do you know who this little girl is, fellow Taoists? She's the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the Imperial Censor of Salt, also known as 'Langtao Layman'. She's also the granddaughter of Old Lady Shi of the Jia Mansion in Moling City. Oh, that Old Lady Shi is also known as the legendary 'Smiling Rakshasa'. If she knew her granddaughter was kidnapped by you, I'm afraid all the demon cultivators along the entire river would be in trouble."

"Smiling Rakshasa?!" Upon hearing this name, the monsters were immediately shocked.

The monster who had attacked Jia Yucun earlier also changed his expression. He then looked at Jia Yucun with half-belief and half-doubt and said, "Don't try to deceive me. The granddaughter of the Smiling Rakshasa? Why are you being so stingy with your appearance?"

Jia Yucun laughed heartily and said, "This is because Langtao Lay Buddhist Lin Ruhai is a low-key gentleman. Why would he make such a fuss when he sends his daughter to the Jia Mansion? The Jia Mansion has already received the letter from Miss Lin about her visit to her family. If you don't believe me, you can do it. Even if I can't save myself today, you can expect to be hunted down by the Smiling Rakshasa in the future."

When the monsters saw how confident Jia Yucun was, they couldn't help but shudder. Some of them immediately backed off. After all, a powerful force like the Duke of Rong's Mansion was not something that these little monsters could afford to offend.

Although the other monsters did not back down, they began to hesitate.

Seeing this, Jia Yucun continued to persuade them, but at this moment, the surging river suddenly surged violently, and the rolling waves rolled the boat and made it bumpy.

The monsters were startled, and then they saw a column of water rising into the sky, more than a hundred feet high.

At this time, the water column gradually fell. When it fell to more than ten feet, a male demon wearing a blue robe, with disheveled hair and a fair face stood directly above the water column, looking at Jia Yucun quietly.

At this time, the surrounding monsters all bowed to the blue-robed monster and said, "Greetings, King Jiang Lan!"

"King Jiang Lan!" Jia Yucun gasped, "King Jiang Lan, the Lord of the Qinhuai River?"

King Jiang Lan looked down at Jia Yucun and said, "That's right."

Jia Yucun's face changed drastically. This King Jiang Lan was a cultivator in the Yangshen realm. The reputation of the Smiling Rakshasa could not scare him because both of them were cultivators in the Yangshen realm.

King Jiang Lan raised his finger and pointed, saying, "That little girl is mine. You are Jia Yucun, the Flying Man on the Stone, right? Kill her! Let that Smiling Rakshasa search the whole river for her."

Following King Jiang Lan's order, the monsters around him stopped hesitating and rushed towards the boat with loud shouts.

Jia Yucun immediately felt like giving up. Although it was good to curry favor with the imperial court, it was not as good as his own life.

So Jia Yucun immediately turned around and prepared to escape, not caring about Lin Daiyu. The most important thing was to save himself.

However, just as Jia Yucun turned around, an ice arrow suddenly flew from behind him and pierced through his right shoulder with a "puff". Jia Yucun immediately fell to the ground with a groan.

"Kill him!" King Jiang Lan pointed at Jia Yucun and said.

Then the monster that had attacked Jia Yucun earlier stepped forward, condensing another water arrow in his hand. He grinned and said, "If we kill Jia Yucun, the Flying Man on the Stone, today, my reputation as the 'Qinhuai Hidden Arrow' will surely rise to new heights."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huai's hidden arrow was about to kill Jia Yucun with water arrows, and a hint of despair appeared in Jia Yucun's eyes.
