The longsword was like a purple waterfall as it circled in the air. It decapitated the dozen demons, turning them into a mess of animal corpses.

As a Immortal Soul stage expert, Li Dao couldn't deal with a small monster that couldn't even cultivate properly with ten or so beast cores. It couldn't be too simple.

These small monsters looked a bit more terrifying, and their bodies were a bit stronger than an ordinary person's. They did not even know a simple spell. As demons, they did not even know how to control the most basic demonic wind.

Demons were not much different from humans in the first place. They were both living creatures and each had their own advantages.

Demons excelled in physical strength while humans excelled in intelligence that was deeper than demons. However, after cultivating to a certain level, the differences would disappear without a trace.

There were kind and good demons, and there were wicked and unforgivable villains. It was not possible to see the whole picture from a biased perspective, but Li Dao had always stood on the side of the human race.

The long sword flew back and was swallowed by Li Dao.

Under the lead of the village chief, the surrounding villagers all kneeled down and thanked Li Dao.

"Many thanks to the Immortal for acting so righteously. Otherwise, more than a hundred lives of our Qingshan Village would be buried in the mouths of the demons. Everyone, quickly kneel down and thank the Immortal for his great kindness."

The old elder was about fifty years old. His hair was already graying, and his body was bent with age. It was clear that he would not live to be sixty years old.

Under the leadership of the village chief, all of the villagers kneeled down and began to speak among themselves.

"Brother, quickly get up. Everyone else, get up. When something like this happens, I don't think anyone will turn a blind eye to it. This is what I should be doing. Everyone, don't thank me. Hurry and get up," Li Dao said as he extended his hand to help the Village Chief up.

It was not wrong for Li Dao to address the Village Head as an older brother. Even though he looked like a youth in his twenties, he was in his forties and was not that much older than the Village Head.

The villagers stood up with sad expressions. This time, a lot of people had died in the demon attack on the village.

However, the simple-minded villagers still held back their grief. They had to thank Li Dao for slaughtering pigs and lambs, so he stopped them.

At Li Dao's level, he did not need to eat like a mortal. Moreover, the lives of the villagers were very difficult, there was no need to let them slaughter the animals for him.

The village had been cleaned up and smoke was rising. Although Li Dao had stopped the villagers from slaughtering the livestock, the banquet was still very sumptuous.

Under the setting sun, the entire village sat together. The children who were facing such a sumptuous meal were depressed, unable to muster up any interest.

Li Dao drank a bowl of muddy yellow wine, then he spoke to the Old Village Chief, "Brother, what is the boundary of this place now?"

Although the old elder was puzzled, it wasn't strange when he thought about how the immortals in the legends could go into seclusion for hundreds of years at a time. He immediately answered, "It's been eighteen years for the Grand Xia's Yuanxi [1], but His Majesty is currently unconscious!"

The old elder drank a few bowls of yellow rice wine. Although his tongue was a bit big, he still reacted immediately and did not mention the Emperor.

"This is outside Jinhua City, Jizhou. The world is currently in a state of turmoil as demons rampage. Since the prefecture overseer was recruiting Qi Scholars, the immortal might as well visit the prefecture overseer's manor. It was said that the prefecture overseer attached great importance to the extraordinary and thus, he had a thousand gold mink fur coat as an offering.

It was just like the gourd mountain in the distance where two great monsters resided. During the day, those monsters came down from the gourd mountain.

There was also the Dragon King at the Golden Sand River. Every year, the fishermen at the river bank would offer up a pair of young boys and girls. Otherwise, the Dragon King would be angered and would descend into the flood.

The prefecture overseer had sent troops to attack the Gourd Mountain several times but had suffered heavy casualties. Furthermore, the two demons on Gourd Mountain had never gone down the mountain before, so he had no choice but to leave it at that.

"I won't be able to live for long, but these kids are always scared every day. I don't know when this world will come to an end!"

As the old Village Head spoke, his murky eyes sparkled like crystals, filled with emotion.

Li Dao let out a long sigh as he sighed, "The demise of a country means the death of a demon-level character!"

After he finished lamenting, he suddenly thought of something and asked the old elder, "Old brother, you said that the mountain in the distance is called Gourd Mountain, and that there are two big monsters living on it?"

As Li Dao spoke, he pointed at the calabash shaped mountain, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The old elder woodenly nodded his head.

Li Dao then asked, "The two monsters on that mountain, are they a scorpion and a green snake spirit?"

The old elder shook his head and said, "No one has seen those two monsters before. I wonder what they are?"

Li Dao laughed involuntarily. He was confused as well. How could these villagers know what kind of demon the monster on the mountain was?

However, he had to go up the mountain to take a look. If this gourd mountain was really the one in his memory, then the Seven Stars Pill was still very tempting.
