I am truly the Monkey King

Cultivators could reconstruct their physical bodies with some time as long as their Primordial Spirits weren't destroyed.

Originally, Guanyin with another strike would have utterly extinguished the Moon Worshiping Immortal, but that damned demon actually had a Great Teleportation Talisman.

Allowing him to escape would be a lingering trouble without end.

However, overall, this battle was still considered a success.

The Main Formation Master of the Devouring Moon ancient formation, the Real Man upon the Ground, was dead, and the Life-Devouring Talismans that had invaded people's bodies were also broken.

The tragedy he foresaw using the Heavenly Secret Tortoise Shell would not be enacted.

The sun had risen, dispersing the gloom, and its brilliant radiance shone over these lands.

Thinking of how Mei County wouldn't become the Nine Nether Ghost Domain, and considering that he wouldn't have to bear the pain of losing all his loved ones, Su Hang couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha... Hahaha..."

His resonant laughter spread throughout Forget-Me Mountain.

Everyone looking at the young figure atop the mountain felt a sense of having survived a catastrophe.

Some laughed with Su Hang, others clapped their hands in high spirits, and some waved their arms and cheered; this land had become an ocean of celebration, with Su Hang undoubtedly as the main focus.

"A Houtian Perfection Stage cultivator, who successively killed three Houtian Perfection Stage, three Innate, one Mysterious Scholar, and one Real Man. It's truly fortunate for Mei County to have such a heroic figure to help at this critical time," said the old martial artist, his face brimming with smiles.

"The most terrifying was that huge hand that appeared later, which destroyed the Moon Worshiping Immortal's physical body in one move. It was really horrifying," Gao Jian still had a look of shock on his face.

Hua Chong speculated, "That might be Su Hang's master. Only such a terrifying person could teach such a monstrous disciple."

"Su Hang is the undisputed number one in Mei County!" Secretary Guo arrived, all smiles.

After receiving a call from Su Hang, he had sent people to check Su Hang's identity.

But he never expected that this person would be the second-place science student in the 2016 Qinyuan Province college entrance exam, who gave up the dream of many to attend Huaxia University, choosing martial arts over academics.

Even less expected was for him to appear on Forget-Me Mountain and, with his own strength, kill all the invading demon cultivators and resolve the great disaster of Mei County.

"Su Hang saved the 830,000 people of Mei County; he has contributed to Mei County and its people. The people of Mei County will remember him, and history will too," said Secretary Guo with a resounding voice, adding at the end, "These are the original words of County Chief Su!"

All present looked up at the young man on the mountain with eyes full of utmost respect.

They all knew that starting today, a legend would begin to rise in Mei County.

At the same time, the legend they revered was on the mountain, scavenging bodies and searching those demon cultivators for a Rock for Beating Dogs and a Storage Bag.

"Pfft!"

Li Qingdai couldn't help but laugh. This guy, knowing full well that everyone was watching him, was unabashedly looting the spoils of war.

"That's my Second Hang for you, always doing something unexpected," she said.

"I always thought he had taken a wrong path, but now it seems that at the best time, he seized the best opportunity to soar high, embarking on another, more glorious path," Li Qingdai recalled her own contempt for Su Hang and how she had said that martial artists usually ended up with one of three tragic fates.

Now, her face flushed with embarrassment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I must admit, there are always some people in this world who are born to make one feel ashamed," Guo Xuemei's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Hang. "Yue Dan, you were right; no matter what Su Hang does, he is always the best one."

Upon hearing these words, Yang Zhenlin nearly spat out blood in anger.

Yue Dan liked Su Hang, and in spite of all his efforts, he hadn't managed to win her affection. Now just great, even Guo Xuemei, who had always liked him and been obedient to him, was relentlessly praising that bastard Su Hang as if she had taken a liking to him.

How on earth had he offended the Su family in his past life?

It seemed that this surname Su was his natural romantic rival; without doing anything, he had managed to capture the hearts of both the woman he liked and the woman who liked him.

Watching that bastard being the center of attention, basking in the admiring gazes of numerous women, how could he stand it?

"Xuemei, let's go!" Yang Zhenlin, mad with jealousy, couldn't stand another moment here.

Guo Xuemei pouted and ignored him, her attitude delivering a stinging slap across his face, burning with pain.

"With Su Hang's strength, he could definitely join the Outstanding Talents Bureau or even the Earth Spirit Hall, receive the nation's focused nurturing, and have a bright future ahead," Yue Dan said sweetly, as if flowers were blooming in the spring breeze, ravishingly beautiful, but unfortunately, her smile wasn't for him.

After the revival of heaven and earth, the nation established a martial cultivator department specifically for confronting demon cultivators from foreign lands—the Xuantian Department.

This department has its headquarters in the capital, with branches of the Earth Spirit Hall located in the provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government, and beneath the Earth Spirit Hall, there is the Outstanding Talents Bureau, stationed in each of the provincial cities.

The Xuantian Department has continuously been recruiting and selecting elite talents from all over the country to strengthen itself, like the Super Police squad which was trained by the Xuantian Department.

Therefore, when Yue Dan spoke those words, he received agreement from many people around him; even Li Qingdai couldn't help but nod slightly.

As long as Su Hang joined the Xuantian Department, his status would change drastically, and it could almost be said that he would rise to the heavens in a single step.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Three helicopters rapidly approached from the sky, the cabin doors opened, and ten people jumped out from the rear of the helicopters.

Leading them was a man in his fifties, a Grandmaster. Behind him were nine others, seven men and two women, all in their twenties or thirties, and all were Innate Cultivators without exception.

"Director Gao, hello, hello!" Secretary Guo and the old martial artist hurried forward to meet the middle-aged man at the lead and discussed with him the situation of the battle that had just taken place.

Mei County is subordinate to the prefecture-level city of Changle City, and these people were from the Outstanding Talents Bureau of Changle City, sent here to support the government of Mei County.

Su Hang had sustained injuries and was planning to find a place to heal before returning to Qinyuan Province's provincial capital, Weiyang City, to continue his studies.

Just as he was about to step away, an irritating voice came through, "How could a mere Houtian cultivator like you possibly kill an Innate and slay a true person, hmph..." The speaker was one of the tall youths among that group of people.

"A bunch of latecomers just going through the motions dare to question someone who has been fighting for their life, what kind of people are these?" Su Hang said disdainfully.

The tall youth's face turned red with anger, and he said, "You... "

"Su Hang, the mayor just called," Secretary Guo said with particular urgency, "many people in the county are experiencing whitening of hair and decline in strength. Wasn't it said the Life-Devouring Talisman had been dealt with? What's going on?"

Su Hang's body shook. Could it be that the Main Formation Master was not an Earthly Immortal, but the Moon Worshiping Immortal?

But that didn't make sense either, the Moon Worshiping Immortal was hidden in the void, not within the formation.

Su Hang grabbed one of the people rescued from the top of the mountain by the Super Police and asked, "Who was sitting at the center of the formation at the top of the mountain?"

"It was the white-clad woman you killed last!" the man answered honestly.

Su Hang suddenly understood.

Qiu Jing was the real Main Formation Master.

He had only killed Qiu Jing's avatar before, therefore failing to break the Life-Devouring Talisman.

Hence, all the people whose bodies had been penetrated by the demonic rain were afflicted with the Life-Devouring Talisman, with no more than three months to live.

And the whitening of hair and weakening of strength were signs of life essence slipping away.

"Er Hang, your mom's phone..." Li Qingdai, holding the cell phone Su Hang had left in the car, ran over hurriedly.

Su Hang immediately took the phone and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Hang, your dad went to arrange for the villagers to evacuate, and, as the last to leave the village, he got caught in the demonic rain. Now a tuft of his hair has turned white, what do we do, do you have a way out?" His mother's voice was low, filled with deep concern.

"What, my dad..." Su Hang's body shook.

"I'm okay, don't listen to your mom's nonsense, take care of yourself," his father snatched the phone from his mother.

"Right!" Su Hang hung up the phone and clenched his fists, feeling murderous intent surging within him.

His father was kind-hearted, and by his nature, he would definitely have arranged for others to evacuate first, which was something Su Hang should have anticipated.

It seemed that some things were inescapable after all.

But what of it—if Qiu Jing were really the Main Formation Master of the Devouring Moon Ancient Formation, then killing her would naturally shatter the Life-Devouring Talisman.

"Qiu Jing, no matter where you hide, be it the ends of the Earth or the corners of the sea, I will kill you within three months," Su Hang turned to look at Secretary Guo, "Please arrange for someone to collect some fresh blood from the demon cultivators, and I will come to pick it up at the Super Police squad tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Secretary Guo knew that the government would certainly seek a solution, and it wouldn't be bad if Su Hang could resolve the issue.

Having received an affirmative response, Su Hang strode to Tang Lifen's car and said to Li Qingdai, "Find a place, I need to heal."
