A long time ago, Wuxiang Village wasn't called Wuxiang Village. It was Wuxiang Village, a village that got rich by frying spiced melon seeds.
The great wizard was just an ordinary cultivator back then, practicing diligently from dawn till dusk every day.
His cultivation progress was extremely slow, and his supernatural powers were not very great.
Until one day, he accidentally discovered a heretical technique. It was to absorb the yin energy from zombies and the moon's essence into his own body for his use.
In this way, the cultivation realm that others took decades to reach, he could achieve in just one year.
Moreover, this heretical technique could also keep him young forever, making him look younger as he lived.
From then on, the great wizard searched everywhere for traces of zombies.
When passing by Wuxiang Village, he was surprised to find that it was a place with extremely heavy yin energy, a perfect place to raise corpses.
It could not only nourish a large number of zombies but also had a thousand - year - old drought demon.
The great wizard was overjoyed. After pretending to get rid of a few zombies, he was warmly invited to stay by the villagers and became the great wizard of Wuxiang Village.
He raised a large number of zombies in the village and put the drought demon on the altar.
Since the drought demon was good at changing its appearance to deceive others, he lied that the drought demon was the Wuxiang God and deliberately made it mysterious by changing the name of the village to Wuxiang Village.
In order to cultivate faster, he required the villagers to regularly offer two young men and women with extremely yin birth dates to nourish the drought demon.
This situation continued for decade after decade.
Until he met Shi Tou, a stubborn and fearless person who broke all his plans.
But now he had reached a critical moment in his cultivation. No matter what, he would not give up.
The great wizard eyed Yu Nian sinisterly. Since she was so reckless and insisted on being a good - Samaritan, he would deal with her first.
The great wizard chanted obscure spells. Immediately, the originally dormant drought demon began to struggle frantically and rushed straight towards Yu Nian.
It was tall and heavy, with boundless demonic power. When it ran, it was no different from a rampaging truck. Everyone was blown back a step by the cold and evil aura on it.
Only Yu Nian remained expressionless, standing still without dodging.
With a loud "bang", a thick cloud of smoke dispersed in the air, stinging everyone's eyes.
The great wizard was overjoyed. He thought Yu Nian was stupid and didn't even know how to dodge. Being hit by the drought demon like this, she must be dead.
When the smoke cleared, he was about to step forward to check, but saw the huge figure of the drought demon suddenly sway.
The great wizard looked up in surprise and saw Yu Nian standing there safely. On her fair right hand, several vermilion red threads were tied at some point. The golden - light - emitting threads tightly bound the drought demon. In the confrontation between the two, their strength was actually equal!
The great wizard thought Yu Nian had reached the limit of her strength, but unexpectedly, Yu Nian exerted a little force and pulled the drought demon towards her.
The great wizard's face distorted for a moment.
This was impossible!
There must be something wrong with his spell.
The great wizard moved and shook the bell in his hand more vigorously.
The drought demon suddenly took a step, opened its huge bloody mouth, and bit towards Yu Nian's fair neck.
Feng Chengyuan was shocked and subconsciously wanted to step forward to protect Yu Nian.
But he saw Yu Nian deftly make a sword gesture with her left hand. The sword light with a killing aura slashed towards the terrifying face of the drought demon.
With a loud "clang", the sword energy seemed to hit something extremely hard and then disappeared without a trace.
The great wizard laughed wildly.
"This drought demon has a thousand - year cultivation base. With the addition of my cultivation methods over the years, it has already become invulnerable. If it could be cut down by a little girl like you with a sword, wouldn't all my years of cultivation be in vain..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the drought demon let out a heart - rending roar, and a sharp white light flashed across its face.
The next second, the drought demon split.
It really split.
Half of its huge head slowly slid to the ground, and the resentment filled the air from its body.
The great wizard was completely stunned. He stared blankly at Yu Nian, with a million alpacas galloping through his heart.
"Who... who on earth are you??"
Yu Nian glanced at the great wizard and said calmly, "Someone you can never catch up with even if you use heretical techniques all your life."
The great wizard angrily spat out a curse. He injected all the yin energy he had absorbed over the years into the bell and shouted at the drought demon, "Kill her!"
The neck of the drought demon rotated 360 degrees eerily. The messy hair on the remaining half of its head grew at a visible speed.
Soon, it covered every corner of the temple.
The next moment, the hair wriggled like maggots and quickly wrapped around everyone's ankles.
The hair was sticky and greasy, as if it had been soaked in blood for many years, constantly emitting a stinky smell.
He Zhiping couldn't help but retch.
Yu Nian frowned tightly. She wanted to throw out the talisman paper, but her fingers were tightly wrapped by the hair like a dense net.
The great wizard sneered twice, "Die, all of you!"
The hair tightened more and more, deeply embedding into Yu Nian's ankles like steel wires.
Yu Nian showed no extra expression on her face. She looked at the great wizard with a cold gaze.
"Do you really think you can trap me like this?"
Yu Nian gently closed her eyes. After chanting a few spells, a pure golden light suddenly bloomed around her body. Like a raging fire, it burned the hair back.
Yu Nian seized the opportunity, kicked hard, and jumped out of the hair net. Then she quickly pasted three talisman papers on the drought demon.
The drought demon trembled suddenly. The red light in its eyes gradually weakened and finally completely dimmed.
The great wizard finally realized that his situation was not good. He stuffed the bell into his bosom and trembled as he tried to run out of the temple door.
But he was kicked to the ground by Yu Nian.
The great wizard let out a painful whimper. He wondered in his heart how this woman could be stronger than the drought demon??
Yu Nian stared at the strange mask on the great wizard's face for a moment. Suddenly, she reached out and took off the mask. The great wizard let out a shrill scream. His voice was like a ghost's, and he twisted and struggled non - stop.
Everyone gasped in horror when they saw the great wizard's face.
It was an extremely ugly face, as if it had been torn apart and then stitched back together. The blue veins were exposed, and the flesh was separated.
Yu Nian said calmly, "You used the yin energy in zombies to cultivate, thinking you had found the easiest way. But you forgot that you are just a mortal. Under the erosion of yin energy, you have become a half - human, half - ghost monster and can only show your face with a mask. This is your retribution."
Now that the drought demon had been subdued by her, the demonic power the great wizard had obtained from the drought demon was all invalidated. Now he had completely become a useless person without any threat.
Yu Nian called the Folk Customs Affairs Office. Yang Jing'an's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the great wizard.
It turned out that this great wizard was a demonic cultivator they had been wanted for a long time but had never been able to find.
"No wonder we couldn't catch you. It turns out you've been hiding in this remote little village, deceiving everyone! Wait to go to reform through labor when you get back!"
After saying that, Yang Jing'an angrily kicked the great wizard twice.
He Zhiping praised, "You have a strong sense of justice!"
Yang Jing'an replied expressionlessly, "This person is the target our group has been tracking. Do you know how many reports and PPTs I've written because of him in the past two years? Kicking him twice is already light."
He Zhiping:.......
After dealing with everything in Wuxiang Village, everyone was about to leave.
But the moment Yu Nian walked out of the Wuxiang Temple, she fainted without warning.
Feng Chengyuan's pupils suddenly shrank. He quickly stepped forward and caught her firmly in his arms.
