Yunhan quickly returned to the Immortal Sect and told the three elders about the matter.
When the three elders heard that Sheng Wanwan had gone to find the drought demon, they panicked. This was a cultivation prodigy, a once-in-a-millennium talent, and they didn't want anything to happen to her.
"I'm going after that girl. You two guard the mountain gate," the elder said, and walked out.
"There's nothing going on at the mountain gate right now, I'll go with you!"
The Third Elder also stood up and walked out.
"Then you all be careful!"
The Fifth Elder did not follow; he was only skilled in alchemy and was not capable of keeping up with Little One.
Outside the mountain gate, the Grand Elder mounted his natal spirit beast, a three-eyed snow wolf. The moment he stepped onto its back, the snow wolf charged off.
The Third Elder flew on his sword and chased after them towards the outside of the mountain gate.
The two chased for seven days and seven nights but did not see any trace of Sheng Wanwan. Even when they reached the outskirts of the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom, they still could not catch up with her.
They did manage to find the Immortal Venerable and Sheng Wenjin.
They were standing outside a small wooden house, huddled together. As they got closer, they noticed a woman in green standing among them.
"Heh... Penglai Immortal Sect? You can leave! You're not capable of killing me! If you were, I wouldn't have come out here!" Tiannvba meant that if these cultivators were capable of killing her, she wouldn't have come all this way to wait for them to come to her!
Yes, she came here not to hide or conceal herself, but to summon all the cultivators in the world to kill her!
But she has been here for so long before she finally met cultivators from the Penglai Immortal Sect. It seems that the world's cultivators have truly declined beyond recognition, and her path of seeking death is probably not going to work.
"You audacious witch, you have brought calamity to the world, causing immense suffering to all living beings, yet you still dare to be so arrogant! Today, we will act on behalf of Heaven to rid you of this scourge!"
A cultivator from the Penglai Immortal Sect spoke righteously, his long sword already drawn, gleaming with a sharp light.
"You want to act on behalf of Heaven? Then come on, let me see how capable you really are!" the Heavenly Maiden Ba said provocatively.
As her words fell, the surrounding air suddenly tensed. The cultivators of Penglai Immortal Sect exchanged glances, then drew their weapons and charged towards Tiannvba.
For a moment, sword light flashed and air currents surged on the mountain peak. However, no matter how hard these cultivators attacked, the Heavenly Maiden Ba neither dodged nor evaded, and these attacks could not harm a single hair on her head.
The Heavenly Maiden Ba shook her head and said helplessly, "I told you long ago, you can't hurt me! I am an ancient god. Although my divine power wasn't ranked among the top in the divine realm back then, I was immortal. Ten thousand years ago, your Penglai Immortal Sect's founder—the God of Life, Qin Yao—tried every possible method but couldn't kill me, let alone you ants!"
After saying that, Tiannvba walked disdainfully into the wooden house...
Sheng Wenjin and Si Mingye exchanged a glance upon hearing this. What did that mean? The Heavenly Maiden Ba was just gone like that?
The scene of their heroic death after the great battle they imagined never materialized. It seemed that the Drought Demon didn't even want to pay them any attention. Were they so weak that the Drought Demon didn't even want to kill them?
The immortals and cultivators of Penglai Immortal Sect also looked helpless.
"Hey! You're a demon! We're going to kill you, why don't you kill us?" The second elder of the Penglai Immortal Sect was a rugged-looking old man with a booming voice. As soon as he said this, everyone shrank back.
Is this Second Elder an idiot?
Could you possibly warn this witch that she's going to kill them? Are you afraid you won't die?
Is that how you want to die a heroic death?
"I have no magic power left, my spiritual root is damaged, and I can no longer cultivate! That's why I'm stuck in the mortal realm and can't return! I can't kill you, and likewise, you can't kill me!"
The Heavenly Maiden Ba answered without turning her head, then paused and continued, "If you have the ability, think of a way to kill me! Don't even think about taking me back to seal me again."
"Your seal has failed; it can't contain me! My demonic energy will spread and destroy the place she built with her own hands—this is something I do not wish for!"
"Destroy the place she built? What do you mean?"
"You don't need to understand what I mean. In short, the reason your immortal sect was able to avoid being affected by the drought is because your founding ancestor, the Goddess of Life, left you a trace of life force to protect your sect. However, this divine power has faded, and if I return, that divine power will completely disappear! Your immortal sect will no longer be as wonderful as it is now..."
Go back and think of a way to kill me... Otherwise, as the world's resentment towards me deepens, my demonic energy will grow stronger, and the disaster will extend far beyond this area!
After saying this, Tiannvba went straight into the wooden house...
The Immortal Venerable remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "It seems that the murals in the stone house are true. The Heavenly Maiden Ba did not want to bring disaster to the world, but her constitution forced her to absorb the resentment of the people of the world, thus becoming a demon."
The drought is caused by the outward spread of demonic energy. These are things she did not want, but she cannot control them.
She came here waiting for the most powerful being in the world to kill her! But even the goddess couldn't kill her, so who could? Could it be that Heaven intends to destroy this world?
"No! Heaven would never want to destroy this world! I have a method that we might be able to try!"
As soon as the Immortal Venerable finished speaking, a childlike voice rang out.
Sheng Wanwan rode a large white tiger slowly towards them, with a small yellow chick perched on her shoulder.
Sheng Wenjin and Si Mingye rushed forward and carried Sheng Wanwan down.
"Wanwan! What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to wait inside the Immortal Sect?" Sheng Wenjin said, tapping Sheng Wanwan's head with displeasure.
"Hehe, big brother, you guys can't handle this situation without my help! I have a way we can try!"
Sheng Wanwan then told Sheng Wenjin to put her on the ground.
"Where have you run off to, you little brat? We've been chasing you for seven days and seven nights and still haven't caught up with you," the elder asked as he walked over.
"Maybe you didn't see me while I was sleeping and missed me?" Sheng Wanwan said with a smile.
"Sect Leader Immortal Venerable, I have great news for you. This little child actually possesses a divine spiritual root! A divine spiritual root! Given time, wouldn't he become an immortal or a god?"
The Third Elder stepped forward excitedly, his face beaming with delight.
The Immortal Venerable was an old man with an air of otherworldly grace. He stroked his beard, his gaze falling on Sheng Wanwan, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing the Third Elder's words, he smiled slightly and nodded, saying:
"Oh? A divine root, that's indeed a once-in-a-millennium talent. However, what I'm most concerned about is what you just said about having a way to deal with the drought demon. Is that true?"
