Chapter 350 Disagreement

Shen Jiyi was the oldest among the Taoist priests and had the highest level of cultivation. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, he stepped forward to smooth things over, "Can I say a word?"

When others remained silent, he took it as agreement, "Everyone's purpose is the same - to slay demons. As for the means, we can discuss them again. There are many people in the Demon Slayer Association, but there are only a few here. It's better to temporarily How about shelving the dispute and waiting until we get to the Imperial Capital to gather more people to discuss it together?”

Mu Xingqiu took a step back, "I'm sorry, I haven't been back from Luanjing Mountain for a long time, and I don't understand many things. I shouldn't point fingers, but there is one thing I must make clear: Taoist priests should not kill each other. No matter how crazy Zuo Liuying's ideas and methods are, we can persuade him and stop him, but we cannot assassinate him.

Mu Xingqiu's eyes swept across everyone's face, looking away when he saw the other person nodding, and finally looked at Qishan Taoist Yang Qingyuan.

"Zuo Liuying can't be persuaded..." Yang Qingyuan still wanted to argue, but changed his mind mid-sentence, "Okay, let's wait until we get to the Imperial Capital to discuss everything. There are more than 100 people in the Demon Slayer Club, and nearly half of them will go to the Imperial Capital. , Senior Taoist priests are always slow to discuss things, we still have time."

Mu Xingqiu made a signal, and Yang Qingyin reluctantly took back her free rope.

Shen Jiyi moved his arm that was not sore for a few times and said with a smile: "We were originally scheduled to hold a weapon discussion in the Imperial Capital. Since the invasion of demon clan and the closure of Wangshan Mountain, it has become difficult to refine magic weapons. In the past, The tradition of fighting was also interrupted. This time it was restored not only to enhance contact, but also to take this opportunity to discuss important matters. "

Combining weapons to discuss Taoism is a fighting competition for lower Taoist priests. All Taoist priests who have breathed three times or above and have refined their own magical weapons can participate. Mu Xingqiu had heard about it a long time ago, and at that time he was planning to use combined weapons to discuss Taoism. He had the opportunity to duel with Shen Geng, but now his enemy has disappeared.

Yang Qingyin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she finally couldn't help it anymore, "I never remember who the Demon Slayer Association chose as its leader. How come you guys, especially you, Shen Jiyi, became the leader not long after you joined the association? I’ve never heard of talisman, assassination, or holding a symposium. How many people have been deceived by you?”

Several Taoist priests turned away, and Yang Qingyuan had to say it himself: "This is not the decision of a few of us. Everyone knows it. Only the people in Pangshan don't know, because... we didn't expect that the Taoist friends would refuse to join the Demon Slayer." meeting.

Yang Qingyin snorted. He soon figured it out, "You didn't hide everything from Shen Hao. He has always regarded himself as the leader of the Taoist priests of Pangshan Demon Slayer Association, and he has the best relationship with you guys."

After hesitating for a while, Yang Qingyuan nodded.

"Traitor." Yang Qingyin said these two words through gritted teeth, "He also pretended to defend the camp.

It turns out that I was really wrong about him for contacting you secretly. "

The bald man's eyes widened, "It's impossible. Er Shuan...why did Shen Hao lie to Brother Xiao Qiu? They stopped fighting a long time ago."

Yang Qingyuan saluted Yang Qingyin and Mu Xingqiu respectively, "If you want to blame me, it's me who insisted on keeping it secret. He himself had absolutely no intention of deceiving Taoist Pangshan. Especially fellow seekers. Over the years, Taoist Shen has worked hard for the Demon Slayer Society. , exerts the most effort, wherever he goes. To be honest, the fact that the name of the cultivator is remembered in every Taoist tradition is mostly due to Master Shen. It was his opinion that the Demon Society would not have a leader for the time being, just to wait for you to come back, but he was... quite disappointed. "

Yang Qingyin had nothing to say. She had witnessed Shen Hao's efforts over the years and knew that Yang Qingyuan's words were not an exaggeration.

Mu Xingqiu was speechless. He had sensed Shen Hao's eagerness and desire when they first met, but he didn't expect that his rejection would have such serious consequences.

"I hope that everyone can be open and honest from now on." Mu Xingqiu had to say something, "Taoist Pangshan is as united as before. I will communicate with Shen Hao and eliminate all the rifts between us."

The bald man nodded desperately and almost fell off Mu Xingqiu's shoulders.

"That's it." Shen Jiyi clapped his hands and breathed out easily, "Ten days later, we will meet in the imperial capital to hold a discussion on combining weapons and decide on the future direction of the Demon Slaying Association."

"Perhaps we can also elect a leader who is recognized by the majority of people." Yang Qingyuan added, not intending to hide anything anymore, "No big thing can be accomplished with a pile of loose sand, and low-level Taoist priests should unite into a group.

Mu Xingqiu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "I want to know whose idea it was to re-activate the Taoist talismans?"

The Taoist priest opposite was reluctant to answer this question. Yang Qingyuan said: "It's not that we deliberately concealed it. Strictly speaking, fellow Taoists are not members of the Demon Slayer Society yet..."

"I am, you can always tell me." Yang Qingyin said loudly, "If you don't want 'outsiders' to listen, just let Mu Xingqiu go out, but I have to tell you in advance, I will not keep it secret."

All the Taoist priests were embarrassed, and Shen Jiyi said: "There is no one more qualified to join the Demon Slayer Society than my Taoist friends. There is no need to hide it from him. The one who thought of the Taoist Talisman and found it very useful was a Wangshan Taoist priest."

"Taoist Wangshan?" Mu Xingqiu was greatly surprised, "Is it still possible that Taoist Wangshan has not returned?"

Yang Qingyuan nodded, "This fellow Taoist from Wangshan is called Ding Wei. He is a disciple of the Forbidden Secrets. He was staying in Qishan for a short time at the time and was unable to return to Wangshan in time. Fellow Taoist Ding has studied talismans deeply and feels that this is a way to quickly rise to a lower level. The best way to show the strength of a Taoist priest. He is currently in the imperial capital and would also like to meet fellow Taoists."

"But why did you send the talisman to Lan Binghu? She is a lunatic and is turning into a magician." Yang Qingyin asked angrily.

"Some Taoist talismans have been lost for too long, and Fellow Daoist Ding cannot fully restore them. We have to find someone to try. Lan Binghu... is the most suitable."

"Have you ever thought about how many people Lan Binghu will kill with the talisman?" Mu Xingqiu had agreed to discuss things in the Imperial Capital, but he still couldn't help asking, "And she won't accept control. You are creating a powerful enemy with your own hands."

Yang Qingyuan smiled, "Don't worry, we have thought of these things a long time ago. We only gave her ten paper talismans in total, and she has used them up now."

"But we clearly saw Shen Jiyi writing talismans for her, and Lan Binghu showed off to us." Yang Qingyin said.

"It's useless to just have the skill of writing talismans. The Taoist talismans are thousands of times more powerful than those of the Longbin Society. The materials used are also thousands of times more rare. Lan Binghu will definitely not be able to get these materials, and will naturally be controlled by the Demon Slayer Society. Moreover, the talisman writing technique is not complete." Shen Jiyi explained his behavior, "As for how to use this dangerous puppet, let's discuss it in the Imperial Capital."

The matter was almost said. Only when they arrived in the Imperial Capital and faced more low-level Taoists could they resolve the disputes between the parties. Mu Xingqiu asked casually: "Fellow Daoist Shen. Who is the 'other'?"

When Shen Jiyi talked to Lan Binghu with talismans, he reminded her that the target was not only Zuo Liuying, but also another one, but he did not say the name.

Shen Jiyi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Duan Caihao of Luanjing Mountain, we believe that the spirit is in her body. Forcing the spirit out in advance can destroy Zuo Liuying's plan. Since Lan Binghu failed, we will not try again. Everything will be decided when we arrive in the Imperial Capital."

"The Imperial Capital will be decided. In addition, Pang Shan will do his best to protect the safety of the Princess of Xijie."

Shen Jiyi raised his hands, "It is not our idea to assassinate the Princess of Xijie. You are right. Lan Binghu is not easy to control. She also works for others at the same time."

Mu Xingqiu had no more questions. Yang Qingyin hesitated to speak, and finally just snorted. Turning around and walking out, she remembered the way.

Mu Xingqiu bowed, "Goodbye."

The six Taoist priests opposite returned the greeting. Shen Jiyi pointed to the statue next to him, "If you want to know the secret of this tomb, I will tell you everything."

"Let's wait until we arrive in the Imperial Capital." Mu Xingqiu didn't want to stay any longer. He was not yet an official member of the Demon Slayer Association. It was enough to resolve the most important doubts. He didn't want to get involved too deeply.

Shen Jiyi nodded slightly.

Taoist Pangshan disappeared in the passage, and Yang Qingyuan sighed, "No wonder Shen Hao was disappointed. Mu Xingqiu is indeed different from before. Will he leak everything to Zuo Liuying?"

Shen Jiyi looked at the dark passage and shook his head: "With Shen Hao here, he won't leak secrets. Fortunately, he is only at the seventh level of breathing now. As for the mind illusion, it is only useful for mortals. It must be unexpected for Taoists. As long as we are prepared, the five elements magic still has an absolute advantage." Shen Jiyi put away his smile, "This time, the combination of weapons and the discussion of Taoism is the first tough battle of the Demon Slaying Association. We must not let Mu Xingqiu become the leader, he will ruin the whole plan."

Other Taoists echoed, and they all felt that Mu Xingqiu was no longer suitable to be a leader.

Outside the stone tomb, Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin flew silently for a distance, stopped at the same time, and looked at each other.

"I don't believe Shen Jiyi. He was weird when he talked to Lan Binghu, as if he had some evil intentions." Yang Qingyin had no clear evidence, but she felt very strongly.

"Do you remember? Lan Binghu claimed that he wanted to become a demon, and Shen Jiyi replied, 'You are not the only one who has this idea.'" Mu Xingqiu's judgment was the same as Yang Qingyin's, and they both felt that Shen Jiyi was untrustworthy.

Yang Qingyin's eyes lit up when she got approval, "Yes, what does he mean by this? Does he also want to be possessed by the devil?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not Shen Jiyi who is possessed by the devil, but another person in the Shen family."

"Shen Geng..." Yang Qingyin suddenly realized, "Yes, Shen Jiyi lured Lan Binghu into the trap step by step. On the surface, it was to test the Taoist talismans, but in fact, he wanted to turn her into a Taoist magician and follow in the footsteps of Shen Geng!"

"This is just a guess, maybe we think too much." Mu Xingqiu took a deep breath, "In any case, we can't let the Demon Slayer Association be used by people with ulterior motives. This time, we must let the right person be the leader of the combined weapon discussion."

"Brother Xiaoqiu, it's Brother Xiaoqiu." The bald man was only interested in this matter, "Who else is the right person besides you?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled, looked at Yang Qingyin, and waited for her opinion.

Yang Qingyin curled her lips, "You are a Taoist who breathes in air, but you actually want to be the leader of the Demon Slayer Association? Do you know how many Taoists who eat clouds will compete with you? Not to mention Shen Jiyi, he may have reached the level of swallowing smoke, old lady...Okay, I support you, but you have to convince Shen Hao first. If Pangshan is divided, it will be useless even if you are a Taoist who falls into the stars."

"Leave it to me." Mu Xingqiu said.

(I will post one chapter first, and there will be another chapter in the evening. I will try to adjust it tomorrow. If the publishing time is changed suddenly, everyone will not be used to it, and I am not used to writing it.) (To be continued...)
