Chapter 12

It’s Time for Him to Unleash Chaos!

This was the Mount Shu he wanted!

This was the spirit he wanted!

Descend the mountain to save the world in troubled times, and retreat to the mountains in peaceful times!

Gu Jiangming looked down upon those hypocritical cultivators in those cliché cultivation novels, who acted under the banner of compassion but engaged in dirty deeds.

His idea of establishing Mount Shu in this world was to release the youthful chivalry and rebellious spirit in his heart.

Cultivators shouldn’t be lifeless.

Cultivators shouldn’t be scheming all day long.

Cultivators should be true practitioners who are willing to die for the Dao in the morning after hearing it in the evening, who have their own beliefs!

This was the meaning of cultivation!!!

On the screen…

Gu Jiangming and his disciples had already descended the mountain together, starting to face the surging tide of demons.

After the ban was lifted, these demons no longer had any rules or taboos, appearing openly in front of ordinary people.

Mortals were like meat on a chopping block, at the mercy of the demons.

And as the Mount Shu disciples descended the mountain…

Jiujiu revealed an incredulous expression.

There had been a long-standing grudge between humans and demons, but she remembered that this conflict wouldn’t erupt for a long time. How come it suddenly started such a great war hundreds of years ahead of schedule?

Moreover, Jiujiu remembered very clearly that the scale of that war wasn’t large, and it couldn’t be called a Hundred Demons Night Parade at all, because the Hundred Demons Night Parade was almost the highest level of battle formation for the demon race.

Even in a battle formation of this scale, she, a Guhuo Bird with a relatively noble bloodline, didn’t belong to the first echelon of demons.

Things were bad.

Jiujiu knew that blockhead of hers too well.

With that blockhead’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t stand for the demons wreaking havoc. In such a great war, he would definitely get involved.

Even though Gu Jiangming’s strength had greatly improved compared to the past…

But facing the top-level Great Demons, he was still not strong enough, because these demons had lived for far too long, and their strength was simply unfathomable.

Jiujiu’s greatest advantage lay in her knowledge of the past. She benefited from this in many things and could foresee good fortune and misfortune earlier.

This was how she found Longhu Mountain and sent Gu Jiangming, who was seriously injured and corroded by demonic power, to the Celestial Master’s Mansion.

However, now this trend had directly entered an unpredictable situation.

She didn’t know what level of Great Demons would come out.

Once there were Great Demons beyond her capabilities, or even beyond her realm of understanding, Gu Jiangming would definitely not survive.

Under these circumstances, she had to leave the valley and fish him out, tie this guy back, and make him stay put for a while.

And on the screen…

The large-scale invasion of demons into the human world also forced the cultivators hidden among ordinary people to show their faces and fight these demons desperately.

【You have your direct disciple Xu Qingyun lead the other third-generation disciples to act together. And in order to prevent them from being at a disadvantage when fighting demons…】

【You teach them the Mount Shu Heavenly Stem Seven Stars Sword Formation that you painstakingly developed some time ago. In a joint attack state, they can attack together, help each other, and protect each other.】

【This greatly improves the resistance of these low-level disciples when facing demons.】

【And you form your own troop to face those more powerful demons.】

【Now, you desperately need an opponent, an opponent who can assess your true strength.】

【You decide to look for some Great Demons recorded in ancient books to compare your combat abilities.】

【However… a letter from the Celestial Master’s Mansion is delivered to you.】

【The current situation in the mortal world is extremely dangerous. Even the Celestial Master’s Mansion on Longhu Mountain, which chooses to govern by doing nothing, has sent a large number of disciples down the mountain to subdue the rampaging demons. However, there are still some difficult-to-resist demons entrenched in various places.】

【Your master Zhang Tianze hopes that you can join him in slaying demons and protecting the peace.】

【And you think of the life-saving grace the Celestial Master’s Mansion gave you back then, and you also think that many of your arcane arts come from the Celestial Master’s Mansion, so you naturally agree.】

【You head to Longhu Mountain and reunite with your master Zhang Tianze.】

【When you arrive from the sky on your sword, he shows a shocked expression, seemingly not expecting you to appear in this way.】

Gu Jiangming descended from Mount Shu, and his entrance with just the Sword Control Technique amazed the world.

He appeared like a celestial being from mythology, flying in the sky.

【After a brief moment of shock, Zhang Tianze introduces the two cultivators who will be accompanying you on this trip. One is from the Ma family of Dongyi, and the other is from the Mu family of Yunnan.】

【”A steed with wings soaring to the ninth heaven, eight treasures glowing on Iron Brahma Mountain.”】

【”I am Ma Yang, I only know a few family arcane arts.” The man in the strange military robe gives you a hearty laugh, “Brother, you have such handsome skills, much more beautiful than my horsemanship.”】

【After a few seconds, you shift your gaze to the woman covering her face with a black veil.】

【Zhang Tianze introduces her to you, “This is Mu Qing. She cultivates the Mu family’s secret techniques, which are somewhat special. Sometimes she can’t speak. She can help you sense danger and can also see through the weaknesses of demons with her techniques.”】

【Mu Qing bows slightly apologetically.】

【”I am Gu Jiangming of Mount Shu. I was rescued by the Celestial Master’s Mansion more than ten years ago and learned a lot of skills there. Later, I had an epiphany after descending the mountain, so I used my arcane arts to establish a sect to prove my Dao.” You cup your hands in greeting.】

【”You are the patriarch of Mount Shu?” Ma Yang cups his hands again, “I have long admired your name. I have been very familiar with the name of Mount Shu for these years. I heard that you often go down the mountain to help people, and all the disciples in your sect are dragons and phoenixes among men. Now that I have seen your true appearance, it is indeed well-deserved.”】

【”What was that technique just now? I wonder if Brother Gu can tell us about it?” He asks.】

【”It’s just the Sword Control Technique, an ordinary arcane art of my Mount Shu, usually just used for traveling.” You wave your hand dismissively.】

【Seeing that the atmosphere has become familiar, Zhang Tianze gets straight to the point, “There is a Paper Demon wreaking havoc in Yangzhou. This demon has broken the ban and exterminated a hundred families overnight. Ordinary people can hardly find its traces, and even cultivators have difficulty catching it.”】

【”Senior brother ordered me to kill this demon, dead or alive, and I hope you will spare no effort.”】

【”What’s so special about this demon that requires the Celestial Master’s Mansion to personally take action?” Ma Yang can’t help but ask.】

【”It can turn ordinary people into paper people who live normal lives without knowing it, and it can confuse all beings to cause chaos.” Zhang Tianze lists its characteristics one by one, “Furthermore, it is difficult to kill.”】

【”Difficult to kill?” Ma Yang asks.】

【”As long as there is one paper person transformed by its technique alive in the world, it will not die.” Zhang Tianze explains, “Moreover, it is not considered an ancient demon now, but if it is given some time to cultivate like this, it will be far more powerful than ordinary demons.”】

【After hearing this, your heart sinks.】

【For a demon like this, you don’t know if your disciples can handle it if they encounter it by chance, and you don’t know if your foolish wife, who left without saying goodbye, will encounter such an evil demon.】

【You constantly remind yourself to find her as soon as possible.】

【Soon, your group sets off together to the prosperous and magnificent Yangzhou. On this journey, you buy a few pots of fine wine to accompany you.】

【This is the thousandth time you have drunk fine wine.】

【And after Jiujiu left without saying goodbye, you rely more and more on fine wine, and you like to drown your sorrows in alcohol more and more. But your physique is extremely special. Drinking doesn’t make you drunk, it only makes you more sorrowful.】

【You sigh that the drunkard’s intention is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers.】

【But you are not a drunkard, yet you have learned to pretend to be drunk. You want to drown your sorrows, but you can never get yourself drunk.】

【Never Drunk has triggered a hidden effect.】

【Every time you drink fine wine, the power of your ‘momentum’, ‘Qi’, and ‘spells’ will be correspondingly enhanced. The effects of your arcane arts become more powerful after drinking fine wine.】

【When you drink ten different kinds of fine wine in a row, your enhancement effect will reach its peak.】

Seeing that his talent tag for this round had taken effect again…

Gu Jiangming couldn’t hide his joy.

Such a simple condition could enhance the power of his arcane arts. For him, this was definitely a huge boost.

It shouldn’t be long before it was time for him to unleash his divine power.

Under these circumstances, he couldn’t let all these years of hard work go to waste!

It was time for him, the Sword God of Ten Mile Slope, to show his accumulated strength.
