Shi Lang sat down on the ground after he finished the battle. The Terran placed his hands on the ground as he raised his head up to look at the sky. A few minutes later, Raksha appeared beside him while licking her lips.
Hou Bing asked, "Are you not afraid of being contaminated by the demonic essence?"
Raksha replied, "No, I do not absorb their demonic essence, I merely focus on their blood after I purify it with the shred of lightning."
Hou Bing nodded, and after some thought she said, "You know people in the world might call you demonic artifact."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "In my world, she would be a vampire. The one who survives and thrives on the blood essence of people."
Hou Bing thought for a bit and said, "Oh your world also had such creatures? I thought that only in Immortal Realm can you find a race like this."
Shi Lang was curious and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Hou Bing replied, "In the world outside this cage, there are different types of cultivators. Some refine the essence of life, they are called necromancers, some refines the way of sword. One of the example are the blood refiners. They need fresh blood or strong blood to refine and strengthen their qi and cores.
However, despite the variety in cultivation systems, they all have a common factor, which is the Dao Laws."
Shi Lang nodded and raised his hand to access his communicator and contacted, Amelia.
The lady replied quickly and asked, "How is the expedition going?"
Shi Lang replied, "Blood God Mountain and Zavir are done, the rest of the group is handling a few rescue operations. From the information we have received, the demonic territory is a bit too large. It might take a few years to clean this up."
Amelia nodded and calmly replied, "It is obvious, because you will also need to make that place live able. The demonic energy must be high."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I intend to plant a Demon Bane tree in every stronghold. It would grow fast and clean up the area a lot."
Amelia nodded as she agreed, it was a sound idea to plant Demon's bane tree. Shi Lang said, "When is your contingent coming over? I think I can leave this to the children and focus on cultivation. I am still stuck at the early level Immortal Emperor, too slow."
Amelia wanted to say something when Ying Yu appeared on the communicator and said, "How dare you say that you are slow you monster? I was stronger than you back then and now you have already overtaken me. Do you have no shame?"
Shi Lang grimaced at the scolding, but he was like that, he did not have any great talent, he was just blessed with a head that helped him find the most effective way to deal with the troubles and grow his realm.
Shi Lang nodded, and said, "Hou Bing, you can talk to them while I grab a root stalk."
She nodded and then flew off to talk to the people. Shi Lang meanwhile extracted a stalk of root from the Demon's bane. It took him half an hour to locate the roots. They have sank in so deep in the ground.
...
They came back to the Demonic Cultivator front and Shi Lang used his sword intent to cut up a canal leading to the Blood Demon Mountain. He led this canal around the mountain and planted the root stalks of the Demon's bane around the canal. The plant seemed to have encountered a land of bliss.
It fed upon the demonic energy as if its life depended on it. Demonic cultivators hated this plant, because it would compete with them for the demonic energy. The first thing they did was to hunt down the demon bane tree. The hunt led this plant to become so scarce that only a few of them managed to survive.
Within a couple of hours, four Demon's bane tree were standing around the Blood god mountain. They were constantly draining the demonic energy from the surroundings. The water in the canal was as dark as night, but Shi Lang did not bother about it. Soon the tree would extend its roots to the main water stream and then it would grow even stronger.
Demon Bane tree had a specialty, they would all link their roots to help each other grow stronger. After half a day, Shi Tao reached out to him.
He accepted the request and she said, "Baba, we found thousand human survivors. What do you think we should do?"
Shi Lang thought for a bit and said, "Bring them over to the blood god mountain. Use a teleportation array. The place is being purified of the demonic energy, they will be able to live better lives here."
...
Yan Xue was the first one to arrive by his side, she was surprised to look at the place. The entire Demonic region had a faint trace of demonic energy in the wind, so they had been wearing their masks the entire time. However, when she came to this place, she detected that there was no trace of Demonic energy in the air.
She looked at the four towering trees and understood what was happening. The canopy of the trees was lush and so big that it could compete with the ship they used to transport. She looked around and found Shi Lang sitting on top of a boulder with his eyes closed and legs crossed.
She mumbled, "The entire demonic region is searching for him, and there he is, chilling."
Hou Bing appeared beside her and asked, "Why are they looking for him?"
Yan Xue said, "Someone from the Blood Demon Mountain slipped out a message that they have been attacked, and Shi Lang was named. There are a lot of demonic forces that might be moving to this side."
Hou Bing sighed and said, "They all have a death wish, forget it."
She was indifferent to Shi Lang killing people, this guy was indeed a nightmare for the demons.
