Chapter 191 Chaotic Dance of Gods and Demons
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing stayed for another three days, without thinking about what the so-called immortal disciples were doing there.
When they finally saw this group of disciples, it was already the third day after the sacrificial ceremony.
That day, there were roars of beasts outside the city. Upon hearing the noise, the two immediately went to the gate.
The soldiers who had been guarding the gate had already closed it and were standing behind it.
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing stood on the wall surrounding the town and saw more than twenty swordsmen in purple robes rushing towards them.
Behind them was a giant bull nearly three meters tall, covered in white fur and with white horns, chasing after the group of mortal disciples of the immortal sect like a bulldozer.
The county magistrate, having heard the commotion at the gate, also arrived. Upon discovering that they were disciples of the Ziyang Sect, he quickly ordered his soldiers, "The Ziyang Sect's reinforcements have arrived! Open the gates to welcome them!"
The soldiers followed orders and opened the gate, and the disciples of the Ziyang Sect rushed in desperately.
Besides the particularly conspicuous white bull, they were also chased by many other kinds of monsters, and the disciples had to run and swing their swords to repel these leaping monsters.
The white bull was at level six, the rest were at levels three or four, and occasionally a level five bull was mixed in.
A small, long-tailed rat, about the size of a dog, sprang up and bit one of the disciples in the face. Within moments, the disciple's face was covered in blood.
With the help of the other disciples, the long-tailed rat was cut in two, and a large chunk of flesh was bitten off the face of the rescued disciple.
There were too many monsters chasing after them, and they seemed poised to overwhelm the group of disciples.
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing leaped down from the wall. Wei Yanqing dealt with the lesser demons, while Rong Yi went straight for the big white ox.
Just when the disciples of Ziyang Sect thought they were about to be sacrificed, two strangers suddenly appeared.
With a wave of his hand, the man repelled all the lesser demons, while the woman confronted the sixth-tier lesser demon king.
As the white ox lowered its head and nudged her with its horns, Rong Yi pressed its head down, flipped herself over, and sat on its back. She had previously watched the constables ride oxen to town, and this time she rode one herself.
He clenched his fist and slammed it down on the bull's head. It has to be said that the bull's skull was quite hard, but fortunately Rong Yi was better, and his punch made the big white bull dizzy.
He jumped off the bull's back and, without thinking, pierced through the bull's eye with a single blow.
The disciples who had run to a safe distance only heard the little demon king's roar, which quickly faded away. They were secretly wondering what the identities of these two were. Could they be inner disciples of the Ten Directions Sect who were secretly cultivating?
With the death of the sixth-tier demon king, the other demons panicked, and the disciples of the Ziyang Sect turned to deal with them.
Rong Yi looked up and realized that there were quite a few demons following the white bull demon, almost surrounding the entire town. No wonder the magistrate told the group of swordsmen that they were reinforcements from the Ziyang Sect.
The two, along with a group of swordsmen, attacked together and within just over ten minutes, they had killed most of the growing horde of monsters. The remaining monsters, seeing that they could not be defeated, turned and fled into the forest.
All the demons that Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing killed were controlled and collected by Wei Yanqing.
The disciples of Ziyang Sect were astonished. Retrieving objects from a distance was something only high-level immortal sect figures could do.
Rong Yi focused his attention on the white bull demon she had killed; several purses had fallen from the body of the dead little demon king.

Seeing that the demons surrounding the town had retreated, the magistrate breathed a sigh of relief and immediately invited them in.
"Thank you all for your righteous help; otherwise, we alone would not have been able to drive away so many monsters."
The magistrate couldn't help but feel lingering fear when he recalled the astonishing number of demonic creatures.
Rong Yi tossed the purse she had obtained from the white bull demon into her hand. Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Ziyang Sect first said to her, "We must also thank these two experts for their willingness to save us, otherwise some of our disciples would surely have been injured or killed."
The White Bull Demon is not easy to deal with. Don't be fooled by Rong Yi's one-punch knockdown; that's an effect only a master could achieve. Without his help, two or three disciples might have lost their lives in the bull's jaws.
Rong Yi said calmly, "I'm also after the bull demon's inner core."
Such a frank answer earned the appreciation of the disciples even more. "Then we must express our sincere gratitude." The one who spoke was Wei Chang, the eldest disciple among the group. He usually led his junior brothers and sisters to various towns to protect the people who had received the blessings of the gods.
"If you really want to thank me, give me the inner core as a token of your gratitude." She noticed that this group had killed quite a few people.
Wei Chang nodded with delight, "We'll deliver it to our two fellow immortals once it's dug up."
Fellow immortal? What an awkward title.
Wei Yanqing: "Does this happen every time there's a religious ceremony in the town?"
He noticed that the magistrate had already arranged everything, which clearly indicated that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred.
Magistrate Fan Xinyuan replied, "Not every time we offer sacrifices to the gods, we receive their praise and favor. However, during my twelve years in office, the gods have blessed us three times, including the time just a few days ago."
The three blessings are considered average among the towns under the jurisdiction of Heshan City.
After they finished speaking, Wei Chang clasped his hands and asked Wei Yanqing, "You two are exceptionally strong. Are you disciples of the Ten Directions Sect?"
Among the immortal sects, the Ten Directions Sect is the strongest in terms of overall strength and is the leader of the five sects.
Rong Yi immediately glanced at Wei Yanqing, feeling that it wouldn't be good to answer as a disciple of any sect, as it would mean acting against the wishes of other sects.
Wei Yanqing immediately understood her meaning, "We don't know where our master is; we just came out of the mountains."
Wei Chang and his group were sensible enough not to press the matter further.
They teach in seclusion in the mountains and forests, clearly not wanting anyone to know, so don't speculate or ask questions.
Rong Yi caught the purse. "You encountered that bull demon on the road? Judging from the way it chased you, it wasn't just trying to eat people."
At that time, I could clearly see the hatred in the bull demon's eyes, which was filled with emotion.
Wei Chang sighed as he mentioned this, “It was quite a coincidence. That bull demon ruled the mountains around Qingyi Town. It had a child who liked to eat infants and had captured no less than dozens of them in the surrounding villages. Just as we were passing by, it was about to devour a boy and a girl. The little bull demon was not very strong, but because it was the son of the little demon king, no one dared to kill it for fear of retaliation.”
The other disciples quickly chimed in, nodding, "That's right. After we finished dealing with the situation, we learned that Qingyi Town had sent troops to negotiate with that little demon king. Who knew that it would eat the troops they sent and even join forces with other little demon kings to intercept the county magistrate's report, intending to become the local tyrant."
The youngest disciple continued, "We had just returned the child to his parents when the bull demon led a group of demons to hunt us down. They showed no fear of the Ziyang Sect's reputation and were utterly arrogant!"
She guessed that the bull demon must have suddenly obtained some good item, which caused its strength to surge in a short period of time, making it so arrogant that it didn't even care about the Ziyang Sect disciples.
“We’ve visited various towns in Heshan City in previous years, and this bull demon must have appeared in the last two or three years,” Wei Chang said.
Fan Xinyuan had just spoken when he exclaimed, "There are such arrogant and ignorant monsters around Heshan City!"
The demons are ferocious, but the human race is not weak either. There are five great immortal sects that can suppress the great demons of the demon realm. For many years, the human race has had an unspoken rule: if you don't want to fight to the death with the human race, don't capture children to eat. Capturing the old, weak, sick and disabled might be tolerated, but children are absolutely unacceptable.
