58: Chapter 58 The Drunken Sword Immortal Arrives, and the Gods and Demons of the Great Ruins Retreat in Distance

"Swish!" After bidding farewell to the ladies, Ye Xiu slowly took out his wine gourd.

He tossed it into the Void Realm, then silently chanted the Wine God Curse.

"Big!" "Big!" "Big!" The next moment, something incredible happened.

The wine gourd actually grew larger with the wind, transforming into the size of a small flying ship.

This made the Cowherd Boy beam with joy. "Brother Ye, are you going to take us flying across?"

"Mhm, hop on and give it a try!"

Among the three, the Old Village Chief was the strongest. If this Senior ran at full speed, Ye Xiu could barely keep up, but Qin Mu would fall behind.

In the original story, the Village Chief carried him while running, but that made his own movements inconvenient. Now, with Ye Xiu's flying gourd, it was both comfortable and safe.

Soon, the three of them sat on it. The Cowherd Boy was especially happy. "Let's go, flying!"

There was no helping it; Qin Mu was still just a child, after all. With this little friend who was like a joy-bringer, flying in the vast dark night didn't feel lonely.

However, it was impossible not to be noticed after making such a commotion!

In the darkness, it felt as if countless greedy, eerie eyes were spying on these three living people who dared to travel at night.

"Hehehe..." Before they had traveled even ten miles, a bone-chilling, strange laughter exploded in front of them.

The originally calm darkness suddenly churned violently, and a foul-smelling black mist appeared out of thin air, forcibly blocking their path.

From within the black mist, a giant bone claw covered in white fur reached out.

Immediately after, a "Wandering Demon God" that stood a hundred feet tall, covered in skulls, and with green fire shooting from its eyes, slowly emerged.

This was not a stone statue coming back to life, but an evil entity formed from the endless resentment and dark Law in The Great Ruins, with strength comparable to the Peak of the Seven-Star Realm!

"What fresh and tender blood-food..." "And there's a tender little brat..." The Demon God extended its scarlet tongue and licked the corners of its mouth, its greedy gaze locked firmly onto Ye Xiu.

It could sense that the torrential blood Qi inside this human, who had just achieved a Breakthrough, was simply the most nourishing Spirit Medicine in the world.

"Hmph, an ignorant fool courting death." The Village Chief gave a cold snort, his golden eyebrows raised slightly.

He had just recovered his ability to move and was worrying about not having a target to test the power of his Spiritual Qi Golden Body.

"Young Friend Ye, take Muer and step back. Let this old man..."

As he spoke, the Village Chief's golden right hand was already raised, Sword Qi flickering at his fingertips, about to slash this blocking imp into dust with one strike.

"Wait! Village Chief, hold on!"

Just as the Village Chief's Sword Qi was about to be unleashed, Ye Xiu suddenly flashed in front of him.

He looked at the Demon God with a face full of "heartbreak," as if he were looking at a jar of century-old vintage wine that was leaking.

"Village Chief, you are being too wasteful!" "This is a 'Wandering Demon God,' a specialty of The Great Ruins! Its entire body is the essence condensed from Evil Qi!"

"If you slash it with one sword, aside from hearing a sound, what else can we get out of it?"

The Village Chief was stunned, and the Sword Qi in his hand was forcibly suppressed. "Then, what does Young Friend Ye mean?"

"Hehehe..." Ye Xiu gave a wicked laugh and reached out to untie the empty wine gourd from his waist.

"I was just feeling thirsty on the road. Look, hasn't the 'brewing Materials' come right to our doorstep?"

[Wine God Curse · Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Devouring]

Facing the hundred-foot-tall Wandering Demon God emitting terrifying pressure, Ye Xiu not only did not draw his sword but instead, as if meeting an old friend, shook his wine gourd.

"Hey, big guy." "Looking at all that resentment on you, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

"Why don't you come in? I, this Daoist, will help you 'transcend,' and incidentally, let you... leave a legacy for generations?"

"Arrogant ant! Die!" The Demon God was completely enraged by Ye Xiu's dismissive attitude.

It roared, and its giant bone claw, carrying world-destroying black wind, slammed down towards Ye Xiu's head!

However, Ye Xiu just calmly uncorked the stopper of the wine gourd. He aimed it at the Demon God and softly shouted: "Collect!"

"Hum!" The palm-sized wine gourd, in that instant, seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole in the Universe.

From the mouth of the gourd, an unbelievably terrifying suction force erupted!

"Wh... What?!" The Wandering Demon God's originally unstoppable claw stopped abruptly three feet above Ye Xiu's head.

Immediately after, it discovered in horror that its body was uncontrollably twisting and stretching, turning into streams of thick black smoke, flying towards that tiny gourd mouth!

"No! What kind of sorcery is this?! Let me go!" No matter how it struggled, before that suction force containing the "Taotie Heaven-Swallowing" Law, it appeared pale and powerless.

In just three breaths of time, the hundred-foot-tall terrifying Demon God was forcibly "compressed" and "purified."

Along with its resentment, Evil Qi, and cultivation, everything was sucked into that seemingly dilapidated wine gourd.

"Pop!" Ye Xiu leisurely plugged the gourd stopper back in and shook it in his hand with extreme flair.

"Swish, swish!" A sound of liquid sloshing came from inside the gourd.

"Hmm... The vintage of this Demon God is quite good, at least three thousand years old. The Evil Qi infused into the wine is just right for nourishing the Yin and tonifying the kidneys."

Ye Xiu opened the stopper, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp. "Ah—! Refreshing!"

After taking a swig himself, Ye Xiu passed the wine gourd to the Cowherd Boy and the Village Chief beside him. Both of them frowned and stepped back.

"Young Friend Ye, let's continue on our way!" "After that stunt of yours just now, I'm afraid the surrounding Demon Gods won't dare to come and disturb us!"

The Village Chief was telling the truth. These Demon Gods wandering at midnight were actually from other parallel spaces.

The nights in The Great Ruins experienced spatial folding. These guys were not without discernment.

Having seen the methods of the Wine Sword Immortal, who could use gods and demons to brew wine, only a fool would deliver themselves up!

"Alrighty, let's go!" Sure enough, it was just as the Village Chief said.

Those demons, monsters, and ancient lingering souls that were accustomed to appearing at night, even if they had irreconcilable hatred and needed to duel, would avoid this flying gourd from far away.

These immortal undead seemed to have their own way of transmitting messages. The three people flying in the air had already become a taboo for these guys.

Until a small river appeared before them, and on the opposite bank, there was a faint figure of an old man placing paper boats into the water.

Seeing this scene, Qin Mu immediately stood up excitedly. "Brother Ye, Grandpa Village Chief, let's go ask for directions ahead. Maybe someone knows about Wuyou Township!"

A child is just a child. His thoughts were truly naive and romantic. Have you ever seen any normal person placing paper boats into the water in the middle of the night?

However, the Village Chief was still the experienced one. He just stared for a moment, then pulled the Cowherd Boy back.

"Silly boy, those paper boats are for the dead. That person is the legendary Lord of Youdu."

After saying this, the Old Village Chief nodded towards Ye Xiu. The latter immediately understood and stopped the gourd. "Whoosh!"

Then, the Village Chief jumped off the gourd. He walked respectfully to the vicinity of the small boat and bowed to the Lord of Youdu.

"Fellow Daoist, the child is ignorant and offended you. I apologize to you on his behalf!"

"Ka ka ka!" Hearing the Village Chief's words, the old man on the boat slowly turned his head.

Holy crap. His eyes were green, and the aura on his body was ethereal. His voice was even more hollow and bright.

"Where are you all heading?" "We are looking for Wuyou Township. I wonder if you could point us in the right direction, Fellow Daoist!"

Hearing the Village Chief's polite words, the Lord of Youdu actually stretched out a finger and pointed towards the end of the Yong River.

But what was mind-boggling was that this guy was a bit duplicitous. He clearly pointed the way, but then he had to strike at their confidence.

"You won't be able to find the real Wuyou Township like this!"

Although he was a Transmigration traveler who knew the plot, seeing the eerie appearance of this old man, Ye Xiu couldn't help but shudder.

Forget it! See through it but don't speak of it. I am just a bystander. There is no need to pour cold water on Qin Mu right now! Let's just wait and see...
