"A Drought Demon?" Miao Yi and the others gasped in surprise.
This was not a common demonic spirit, but a force of nature demonified and could be considered to possess supernatural powers by birth. It was not something the common beast demons could compare to. Furthermore, the Drought Demon was a demonic spirit of supreme Yang energy and the bane of Ghost cultivators. Upon meeting a Drought Demon, escape was the only option for the average Ghost cultivator, unless they possessed a superior cultivation capable of forcibly suppressing it.
Miao Yi thought back to the time he killed the red-clothed ghost woman back in the Mystic Arts Temple. Back then, using a bunch of ashes, he had created a mock-Yin Dispersal Powder, a substance originally refined from the Yao Core of a Drought Demon. With it, he was able to completely scare the ghost woman off. With this, it was evident how much of an impact Drought Demons had towards Ghost cultivators.
