The next day, Yang Jing was on duty near the County Yamen when he suddenly heard a cheer.
A group of strong young men carried over a Demon Bear that was a full two zhang tall. The Demon Bear's fur was black and glossy, and its body was covered in scars and traces left by various kinds of Magic. The fatal wound was a small hole that had pierced its right eye and scrambled its brain.
After the young men moved the Demon into Huashan County, they stared eagerly at the Cultivator who had slain the Demon Bear.
The Cultivator begrudgingly took out a Purity Talisman and dispelled the Demon Qi from their bodies. Recently, these mortals had somehow learned that prolonged contact with Demons would cause the scourge of Demon Qi to invade their bodies.
Unless a Cultivator was willing to offer a Purity Talisman, they were unwilling to take on the manual labor of carrying Demon Beasts back to the county seat, no matter how many strings of copper coins they were offered.
