With Feng Xiuxiu looking after Yan'er, Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi went out together.
In the afternoon, as the two were drinking tea and chatting, a phone call came.
Upon answering, Jin Tiangu's voice came through, "What exactly did you do to me?"
Ye Tian deliberately asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Jin Tiangu!" the other party roared.
Ye Tian said lightly, "You are just a puppet. Have the one behind you speak to me."
Suddenly, Jin Tiangu's tone became sharp, "Heh heh, you dare to attack me, I will make your family pay the price for you!"
"Oh really? A demon dares to speak so boastfully," Ye Tian sneered.
Jin Tiangu, "You know my identity?"
Ye Tian, "There is a clear demonic aura on Jin Tiangu."
"To be able to see the demonic aura means your cultivation is not low."
Ye Tian, "Not bad, enough to destroy you."
Jin Tiangu snorted heavily, "Since you are so confident, do you dare to come out and fight me tonight?"
Ye Tian, "Alright, you set the time and place."
Jin Tiangu, "Good. Tonight at nine, I will wait for you on the summit of Wild Solitary Mountain."
Ye Tian, "I will definitely be there."
After speaking, they both hung up the phone.
Lin Ziyi vaguely heard the content of the conversation, "Jin Tiangu wants to ask you out?"
Ye Tian, "My previous guess was correct. This Jin Tiangu has been controlled by a demon. The reason he was able to rise in three years is because of that demon's abilities."
Lin Ziyi, "If it's a demon, why doesn't it keep a lower profile?"
Ye Tian, "Demons act differently from humans. Arrogance and ruthlessness are their characteristics. Human civilization is passed down in an orderly manner, but demons are different. They have no concept of upbringing, good or evil, and naturally act by any means necessary."
Lin Ziyi, "Then what kind of demon is it?"
Ye Tian, "It looks like Jin Tiangu is possessed. As for what it is, it's hard to say at the moment."
"Brother Tian, do you have confidence?"
Ye Tian smiled, "In terms of strength alone, I really don't have confidence. Although I am an Earth Immortal, demons can be very tricky and difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I have many good things on hand. Whether it's the Five Emperors Coins, the short sword, or the ancient jade, they can all restrain demons. Especially the Jade Emperor Whip, this demon will be utterly unable to resist."
Lin Ziyi was relieved, "That's good. In any case, you must be careful."
"Don't worry."
After having dinner together, Ye Tian took out the Jade Emperor Whip and tried its three functions. The Jade Emperor Whip has three abilities: Smiting Gods, Thunder Law, and Shattering.
Smiting Gods can kill souls; Thunder Law can eliminate evil spirits; Shattering can physically pulverize all solid objects. It can be said to be a very practical treasure, priceless.
Ye Tian practiced for a while, then absorbed the moonlight. At 8:30 PM, he went to Wild Solitary Mountain alone.
Wild Solitary Mountain is more than a hundred li away. The mountain path is not fully completed, so there is a long way to walk. His footwork is very strong, and in less than twenty minutes, he appeared near Wild Solitary Mountain.
He did not go up the mountain immediately but observed from another hilltop. He found no anomalies on the mountain, and then ascended to the summit.
At this moment, Jin Tiangu was sitting under an ancient pine tree on the summit. As Ye Tian arrived, he raised his eyelids and said, "You did come."
Ye Tian, "What's there to be afraid of when dealing with a demon?"
Jin Tiangu sneered, "Demon? Do you know my origin?"
Ye Tian, "I don't know. If you are willing, you can tell me."
Jin Tiangu, "I was a cultivator of the Zhengyi Sect in the late Ming Dynasty. Later, due to failing to overcome the tribulation, my soul escaped into the body of a rat, and I cultivated demonic arts in the rat's body. Until now, my demonic arts have reached great success, and I have returned to a human body!"
Ye Tian, "So you're a rat demon, no wonder you're so shifty."
Jin Tiangu was furious, "I am a human cultivator, merely in the body of a rat."
Ye Tian sneered, "What human cultivator, you dare to claim that? The moment you debased yourself to a rat, you were no longer human, but a rat. Your thoughts and actions have long ceased to be those of a normal person."
