'Boom'
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the thick dark clouds, and immediately heavy rain poured down within a radius of a hundred miles, with endless lightning and thunder.
The villagers in the small village quickly put away their clothes and returned to the eaves with their naughty children.
"The sky was clear just now, how come there was suddenly thunder and lightning and heavy rain?" complained a middle-aged woman holding the clothes that had not yet dried.
The middle-aged man next to him glanced at the sky and said, "It's abnormally dark. Let's go inside quickly."
With that, the middle-aged man and woman turned and walked into the house, closing the door.
Every household in the village closed their doors and windows to prevent rain from entering the house.
Just at this moment, a scent of flowers drifted into thousands of homes along with the rain and strong wind, and then a pink light quickly passed over the village.
Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning followed the pink light, and the pink light flew faster and faster, disappearing over the village in the blink of an eye.
'Boom'
There were heavy dark clouds and bursts of thunder. Suddenly, more than a dozen lightning bolts fell at the same time, blocking the path of the pink light.
The pink light suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then a pretty figure appeared.
The figure was shrouded in a pink aura. It turned out to be a petite and beautiful woman wearing a three-color palace dress with a jade cloud flower hairpin on her head.
At the moment when the woman was blocked by more than a dozen lightning bolts, four fairy lights suddenly fell from all directions above her head.
When the fairy light dissipated, four gods wearing golden armor and thunder robes were seen surrounding the woman, holding thunder whips.
When the woman saw the four gods, she immediately bowed her head in worship. "Hua Ling'er greets the four Thunder Gods. Please forgive me, four Thunder Gods. Since I started practicing, I have lived on the mist and dew, and slept in the forests and springs at night. I have never disturbed the mortal world or harmed any living being. I beg you to forgive me this time!"
"Witch, stop quibbling." Before the four thunder gods could speak, a clear voice came from below.
Hua Ling'er looked down and saw a young man in a light blue robe standing in the forest below. He had a handsome face, a tall figure, and his hair was tied up with a hairpin, which made him look very pleasing to the eye.
A peach light flashed in Hua Ling'er's eyes, and she immediately saw that this man was only at the "Qi training" level, and had just started practicing. Under normal circumstances, she would just kick him away.
But in front of the four Thunder Gods, she didn't dare to do so. Instead, she said in a delicate voice, "What does this fellow Taoist want?"
The young man pointed at Hua Ling'er and said, "Witch, you said you've never disturbed the mortal world, but what about that promise you made three days ago about burning down the Yangxia County Land God Temple?"
Hua Ling'er was stunned, and then she remembered that she had indeed passed by Yangxia County three days ago. At that time, she wanted to call the Yangxia County local god to ask for directions, but no matter how she called, the local god would not come out. So she said angrily that she would burn down the local god temple sooner or later.
But...that was just something said in anger!
"I...I was just joking when I was angry." Hua Ling'er quickly defended herself.
But the young man ignored her sophistry and simply clasped his fists and said, "Please, four thunder gods, quickly subdue this demon."
Hua Ling'er was shocked and wanted to beg for mercy, but unexpectedly a divine thunder struck down and hit Hua Ling'er's left shoulder directly. In an instant, half of Hua Ling'er's left arm was burnt.
Hua Ling'er screamed in agony, only to hear a thunder god in front of her scolding, "Flower demon, your crime does not deserve death. If you surrender now, you will only need to be suppressed for ten years. After ten years, you will be able to escape. If you continue to resist the power of heaven, you will be annihilated by divine thunder!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Ling'er knew she couldn't escape what was happening today, and she was furious. "I, Hua Ling'er, have cultivated for over four hundred years to reach the realm of Refining Void. How can I endure such a great humiliation?"
After she finished speaking, a pink light flashed around Hua Ling'er, and a fragrant mist suddenly rose within a radius of a hundred miles.
The four thunder gods shouted angrily: "Bold flower demon! How dare you resist!" Then they sent down sixteen divine thunders to strike Hua Ling'er.
But the sixteen divine thunders struck nothing, and when they looked again, they found that the flower demon had disappeared without a trace.
"Oh no, the flower demon is hiding." A thunder god said in a deep voice.
Another Thunder God glanced around and said, "All the plants and trees within the range of this fragrant mist may be the hiding place of the flower demon."
The third Thunder God said, "We have no way to find the root of the problem. We can only send down fire thunder to burn all the vegetation within a hundred miles to ashes. Then the flower demon will reveal itself!"
But the fourth Thunder God said, "There's no need to go to such great lengths."
Then the fourth Thunder God said to the young man below, "Lord of the Land, this is the territory of Yangxia County. Please use the land book to quickly find the hiding place of this flower demon."
Yes, this young man is the land god of Yangxia County, Fang Jian.
Fang Jian took out a thick book from his arms. This was the 'Land Book', which recorded the whereabouts and comings of all living things in the county, their birth, old age, sickness and death, disasters and blessings, good and evil deeds.
However, this land book can only be used by the land god to check information, and the land god has no power to change the information on it.
Fang Jian flipped through the land register and immediately found the flower demon's whereabouts. He looked up and said, "Thirteen miles southeast, under an ancient poplar tree."
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, four lightning bolts flashed in the sky, and the four thunder gods disappeared.
Fang Jian sighed. It would be great to be able to fly, but unfortunately, as a ninth-grade immortal official of the lowest rank, he could not fly.
So he used his hands to perform the magic of speed and flew all the way to the southeast.
When Fang Jian arrived at the flower demon's hiding place thirteen miles away, he found that the flower demon had already started fighting with the four thunder masters.
