"There's no need to send a thank-you gift, Magistrate Zhang... A thank-you gift? Oh, it's just a vulgar thing, it should be used for people's livelihood... You don't have to thank us, just remember to be considerate of the people under your rule in the future."

Guan Liyuan watched with satisfaction as Yuheng put on the "Taoist master" in front of the magistrate of Baojing County...

At this time, Guan Liyuan had been away from Penglai for a month and a half. After landing in Zhenjiang, he headed southwest all the way to Baojing County, Qinzhou, Guangnan West Road, Song Dynasty.

Looking at Yuheng's current appearance, it can be seen that not long ago, the "Taoist masters" of the Penglai faction maintained peace in the human world again.

And now Yuheng and others have completed the second stage of learning - that is, when not fighting, how to act in front of others... No, it is to "show" that they are "Taoist masters"!

In Guan Liyuan's words, who would know who if a fight really breaks out? Beat the opponent to death first, don't pretend to be deep, but when it's time to pretend, you have to be presentable...

Looking at Yuheng and others with fairy spirits, each one more indifferent than the other, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that when they were exorcising monsters before, they rushed forward and overwhelmed others with (wealth) power.

However, no matter what, Yuheng and others are helping the people at this time. Even now, the fact that Penglai disciples have left the mountain has become quite well-known!

When he met Shushan disciples on the road, Guan Liyuan would also tell them that he would go to Shushan for a meeting later...

Of course, Guan Liyuan also had his own purpose for taking a detour to the south to Qinzhou.

Further south of Qinzhou is the Leizhou Peninsula, and across the sea from the Leizhou Peninsula is Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island.

Guan Liyuan is not interested in Qiongzhou now. His main target is Leizhou City, the capital of Leizhou, or... Lei Lingzhu!

Guan Liyuan naturally did not forget that in the original version of the Legend of Sword and Fairy III, if you want to completely repair the Locking Demon Tower, you need the Five Spiritual Pearls, which are the legendary artifacts used by Nuwa to seal the Five Spiritual Demon Gods.

And the Thunder Spirit Pearl, if the information in the original version is the same, is in the body of Yun Ting, the son of Yun Chuiye, the governor of Leizhou!

Since he has taken a detour to this southern land, Guan Liyuan also wants to take the Thunder Spirit Pearl along the way. If he really wants to use the Five Spiritual Pearls to repair the Locking Demon Tower, he will need it sooner or later, and it will also avoid more trouble.

After Yuheng and others fully demonstrated their image as "experts with Taoism", Guan Liyuan also took them to continue walking south...

In Leizhou City, Yun Chuiye knew the news that the Penglai disciples were coming to Leizhou long in advance. After sighing, he quickly arranged his men to greet them outside the city in advance.

Unlike the Song Dynasty that Guan Liyuan was familiar with, the Song Dynasty in the Xianjian world had governors with real power, not just nominal positions...

Other governors were overjoyed when they heard that the Penglai disciples were coming - after all, the Penglai disciples were numerous and strong, and they would almost always respond to requests when it came to exorcising monsters.

Of course, in fact, "receiving requests" was also a "request" that Guan Liyuan had selected. At most, if the monsters in the Jinghuo realm were causing trouble, the Penglai disciples would go out, and if the monsters in the Shenhuo realm... or the monsters in the Sanhua Juding, Guan Liyuan would do it himself. As for the "big monsters" who had survived the thunder tribulation, even if they had only survived once, Guan Liyuan would go around them far in advance and not give them the opportunity to "request"!

At this time, Guan Liyuan had also discovered that perhaps because the Xiejianxian had suffered a heavy blow in Penglai, the current situation in the human world was more mysterious than in the original work!

In the original work, after the collapse of the Demon Locking Tower, many big monsters escaped. The demonic energy bred many new spirits and gave the blood-eating demons in the human world an "experience package". What was particularly bad was that the Evil Sword Immortal escaped.

But after those big monsters escaped from the Demon Locking Tower, they were frightened by the strength of Shushan and hibernated to recuperate. The "demon-transforming water" in the Demon Locking Tower was not so easy to take! Even if they were still alive, they were only half dead.

Not long after, the Evil Sword Immortal cooperated with the Thunderbolt Hall to research a half-demon and half-human monster, and early on took up the banner of "anti-Shushan" and "ruling the human world"...

It also made other big monsters either find a place to practice in secret, find a way to escape into other demon worlds to be free, or join the Evil Sword Immortal. The Evil Sword Immortal and the Thunderbolt Hall objectively curbed the harm of the local demon tribe.

However, now the Evil Sword Immortal has been defeated and realized that "unifying the human world is a long and arduous task", so he has secretly developed...

After all, in the original work, the Evil Sword Immortal was unscathed and almost wiped out the top Taoist Penglai without much effort, so his mentality is naturally inflated. Now... Although Penglai was closed, the Evil Sword Immortal also lost half of his life and is probably still recuperating there!

This is definitely not good news!

First, the "human demonization" of the Thunderbolt Hall may lead to many troubles if it is allowed to develop. Second, as a combination of the evil thoughts of the five elders of Shushan, the qualifications of the Evil Sword Immortal should not be underestimated, especially the unique talent of cultivating with the help of the "evil thoughts of living beings". He definitely has the talent of the "late stage". To some extent, the Evil Sword Immortal is more likely to be beaten if he is more reckless in the early stage...

In the original work, this catastrophe is not so much the "disaster of the Locking Demon Tower" as the "disaster of the Evil Sword Immortal". Now that the Evil Sword Immortal is timid, the clues of the "disaster of the Locking Demon Tower" are becoming more and more apparent...

The number of demon disasters in various places has not only increased, but also the intensity has become higher and higher!

For example, on the way to Penglai in the east, Guan Liyuan did not see many demons in the Qi and Fire Realm, but when he left Penglai and returned to the west, he encountered many in the Qi and Fire Realm, and occasionally encountered the Jinghuo Realm. As time went by, the Three Flower Demon King and the Thunder Tribulation Demon were not unseen!

On the one hand, the strength of the original demon race has increased, and on the other hand... the demon race that was originally a little "cowardly" and huddled in the deep mountains and old forests, watching their compatriots wandering around but not dying, are now ready to move.

Of course, the only thunder monster he encountered seemed very timid at the moment. He probably knew that a monster would definitely attract special attention!

However, the human race naturally reacted. Not only did the Penglai disciples come out of the mountain, Guan Liyuan had seen several times along the way that the Taoist descendants of non-Shushan went out of the mountain to eliminate monsters...

This also shows the seriousness of the situation - in the original work, when the monster tower was in trouble, except for the Penglai people who sat at home and the pot fell from the sky, only Shushan was fighting against the evil sword fairy, and other Taoists did not care too much...

However, unlike other local officials, Yun Chuiye did not seem very happy when he heard the news that the Penglai disciples were coming.

It’s not that Yun Chuiye has any collusion with the monsters, or has any profit from it, but because Leizhou City does not need the help of Taoist disciples to eliminate monsters, but is a little worried...

Because Yun Chuiye’s son Yun Ting was born with the ability to discharge lightning, and his mother died when he was just born, so he has been living alone in the mansion and in the backyard. He is also relatively withdrawn, especially after he killed his newlywed wife after he became an adult, he basically never came out.

At the beginning, Yun Chuiye had mixed feelings for this son - not chopping him with a sword was considered a fatherly love.

However, after the monster disaster, Yun Ting’s ability was put to good use, and he could use it to protect the people of Leizhou!

Even after the Shushan disciples came to see him, they left Leizhou with peace of mind... At this time, the Shushan disciples were still very reasonable.

Therefore, Yun Chuiye was now worried about what if the Penglai disciples were unreasonable and thought Yun Ting was a monster?
