Ethan Shu hadn't gone far before he stumbled and turned back, saying, "Master, am I really so lacking in discipline?"
"Moreover, I've been in the mountains for so long and haven't seen any beautiful female demons."
"Master really underestimates me."
Ethan Shu picked up his water bucket and descended the winding stone-paved mountain path towards the foot of the mountain to fetch water, not intending to leave the Black Mountain.
The Black Mountain was supported by The Black Mountain Demon, with demons running wild and a murky atmosphere.
Taking just a hundred steps might bring one face-to-face with mountain spirits and tree monsters.
To safely leave the Black Mountain was not an easy task.
If one could flip over a mountain peak unscathed, they were undoubtedly extremely lucky.
Ethan Shu moved swiftly and gracefully down the steep stone steps, moving like a rabbit and falcon, from the top of the mountain to its foot.
It must be said that the Black Mountain was perpetually shrouded in heavy Yin energy, prone to breeding unclean things.
Even the grass and trees grew twisted and distorted, with ancient woods sprawling everywhere.
Even in brdaylight, the forest still gave off a eerie feeling.
The stream gurgled in the mountain valley.
Ethan Shu, carrying his wooden bucket, approached the stream with light steps, preparing to fetch water.
Just as he dipped the bucket into the stream, a sobbing, mournful voice came from nearby.
It was merely a melancholic cry, yet it evoked pity in those who heard it, making them want to comfort the source of the sound.
"Inside the Black Mountain, where all birds have flown away and human traces have vanished, where did this crying come from? Especially a woman's crying?"
A chill smile curved Ethan Shu's lips.
"Hey, Master just warned me about female demons, and now a female demon has come to me herself."
"Since you've stumbled upon me, let me deal with you!"
Ethan Shu put down his bucket and followed the sound.
He wasn't afraid of danger.
Undoubtedly, the strongest demon in the Black Mountain was The Black Mountain Demon, with a thousand years of cultivation.
Currently, The Black Mountain Demon was severely weakened and in retreat, busy healing her injuries, let alone coming out to stir up trouble.
Ethan Shu feared no other demons or monsters.
After all, he was now a Buddhist master of the Mirror Realm, with about five hundred years of cultivation, capable of handling demons with similar cultivation.
Even if Ethan Shu couldn't defeat them, no one could stop him from escaping if he wanted to!
So, Ethan Shu was not brave but foolish.
Life was precious, and he wouldn't take unnecessary risks.
Following the crying, Ethan Shu found a woman dressed in white, crouched and crying in the middle and lower reaches of the stream.
"Ah, she must be a female demon, without a doubt."
Ethan Shu flipped his palm, and the Buddhist seal [卍] on his palm glowed faintly, its power concealed.
He concentrated his pure Buddhist energy in his palm, ready to deliver a powerful strike and teach the female demon a lesson about the harshness of society!
Unfortunately, Ethan Shu lacked the wisdom to open his eyes of insight and couldn't see the woman's true form directly.
To possess a Divine Eye in the future, Ethan Shu would need to cultivate it on his own.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Ethan Shu approached her step by step, asking.
The woman in white suddenly turned her head, sobbing, "I... You're the monk from Arany Temple!"
Seeing Ethan Shu's bald head, the woman, who was still crying, immediately turned her tears into fear and screamed.
Ethan Shu was just about to marvel at the woman's beauty, which was a hundred times more captivating than that of modern female celebrities, but she floated away like a thin piece of paper and fled into the distance without hesitation.
Absolutely no hesitation!
Ethan Shu: "..."
"Stop!"
Ethan Shu roared and chased after her with swift steps.
"Do I look so fierce that I scared you away?"
"Stop! I'll get you, female demon!" Ethan Shu pursued relentlessly, and the advantages brought by the fourth level of the Sutra of Strengthening Sinews and Bones finally became apparent.
His physical body was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and even ordinary martial artists in the Jianghu were no match for him.
If compared, Ethan Shu's physical condition surpassed that of top-tier experts, rivaling the best.
Ethan Shu hadn't learned any lightness skills, but with his astonishing strength, endurance, and jumping ability, he kept chasing the woman in white.
The woman in white stretched her delicate hands forward, her posture graceful, her white clothes like those of a fairy, swiftly weaving through the trees.
She glanced back and saw the handsome and sunny young monk chasing her closely, terrifying her to the point of losing her soul.
Ethan Shu guarded the temple gate alone the night before, sweeping through thousands of skeleton soldiers and destroying The Black Mountain Demon's collective evil spirits.
Such divine might, akin to being possessed by the Skanda Buddhist, spread Ethan Shu's reputation among the demons of the Black Mountain.
The ghosts and spirits concocted a saying: "Better to encounter the old monk of the Hanging Temple than to provoke the young monk of Arany Temple!"
It was evident that Ethan Shu, full of vitality, was even more "frightening" than the sickly old monk Huiming.
"Demon, where do you think you're running? Buddhist seal of [卍], hah——"
Ethan Shu Ethan pushed off from the ground and soared into the air, immediately firing the Buddhist seal of [卍] that had been accumulating power in his palm towards the woman's back.
With Buddhist chants echoing, a golden [卍] detached from his hand, spinning and enlarging, imprinting towards the woman in white.
The woman in white spun in alarm, her delicate sleeves billowing as she flung them forward, trying to shield herself. The [卍] symbol flared in intensity, pressing downward as it shattered her sleeves, sending fragments of fabric swirling in every direction.
"Sister, help me!"
The woman in white exclaimed urgently.
Not far away, a small house stood in the woods. Its doors burst open, and a figure cloaked in red shot forth with fierce determination, meeting the golden symbol head-on.
With a resounding crash, white energy erupted, sending trees crashing down and scattering leaves like a whirlwind. The powerful blast left the [卍] symbol dissipating into the air.
"Hah! So it's not just one female demon!"
Ethan Shu stepped on the lush foliage of the forest, soared into the air, and leaped down, his feet, clad in monk's cloth shoes, landing firmly in front of the forest hut.
The red figure and the woman in white embraced and spun in the air, their clothes fluttering, landing gracefully and ethereally.
The red figure shook her sleeves and said angrily, "Don't think everyone here fears you. Clara Ning is not so easily cowed by a little monk!"
