Chapter 0487: Leniency

The Taoists stopped, stopped in the air several miles away, and the eight Taoist sects lined up one after another, without a neat formation, and there was no distinction between the top and the bottom, but there was some distance between the Taoist sects.

No one stood up to speak, because such a scene was not within anyone's expectations. This should have been a vigorous battle of Taoist sects to eliminate demons, but in the end it was just a tragic victory: more than 200 Taoists died at the hands of corpse demons, nearly 100 Taoists were invaded by demons, and the Yashan treasure almost fell into the hands of the giant demon king. The demon clan was indeed driven away, but the recaptured Laozu Peak was completely unrecognizable. Looking around, there was only a big pit and a flat land like a knife. The gully left by the Demon Fire Mountain six years ago became inconspicuous.

The silence lasted for a while, and the only accident happened to Zhou Qianhui. He flew towards the Yashan Taoist priest holding the sword washing pool, and the Qiankun bag on his waist exploded halfway. It was the clairvoyant copper coin that he had not used since he cast the spell, and the spell on it took effect on time.

Zhou Qianhui reacted very quickly, dropped the Qiankun bag and rose to a high altitude. He was fine, but the bag of magic tools and personal belongings were all destroyed, making him very embarrassed. Even more embarrassed was to come. The Taoist priests of Yashan forbad him to fly too close. After a dozen mirror lights conducted a comprehensive inspection of him and the sword washing pool, he was allowed to return.

The Taoist priests who were invaded by demons did not even have such treatment. They had become an alternative. Although the demon seeds in their bodies were sucked away, the danger of being possessed by demons was still hanging over their heads and could land at any time. For them, there was only one thing they could do for the Taoist tradition.

A demon-invading Taoist priest was the first to speak. He knew what the silence meant, and said to the Taoist priests around him, "Fellow Taoists, I am very happy to fight with you. I hope to know your names. Let me start with you. My name is Gan Zhiquan, a disciple of the Five Elements Department of Hongshan, and the second level of Canxia."

The Taoist priests reported their identities in a flurry. The bald man's voice was particularly loud. He also introduced Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying. He didn't understand the true meaning of this move, but just thought it was fun. The half-demon Yin Bushen was cautious and silent, and quietly flew behind Mu Xingqiu.

Everyone had opened their ears and could remember these chaotic sounds.

The sound gradually died down, and Gan Zhiquan turned to Zuo Liuying and Mu Xingqiu and performed the Taoist ceremony, "The Taoist will thank you two, and there is no need for us to say anything more. The Taoist fire will not go out."

"The Taoist fire will not go out." Mu Xingqiu returned the greeting, but Zuo Liuying did not respond at all. He stood still like a wooden man, obviously wandering in the world and talking with other Taoist priests.

Gan Zhiquan flew closer to the eight Taoist sects and said loudly: "The demons have not been slain yet, and the exorcism has just begun. The future is entrusted to you. The Taoist fire will not be extinguished."

"The Taoist fire will not be extinguished." Thousands of Taoists responded several miles away, not particularly in unison, and slightly disappointed.

The Taoists who were infused with spirits had not spoken yet, but waiting any longer would only increase unnecessary hope. If there was still a possibility of recovery, the Taoists before would not commit suicide.

The Taoists who were invaded by demons sat cross-legged in the air. It was unknown who started it. The Taoists, regardless of gender, stretched out their arms and held hands with each other, as if they were facing a powerful offensive again. This was not a standard action of the Taoist sect, but everyone thought it was good, reducing tension and hesitation, and being able to maintain dignity in front of many normal Taoists at the last moment before committing suicide to exorcise the demons.

The bald man also spread out two strands of hair and connected them with the Taoists. He was very excited, but still did not understand.

"Haha!" A wild laugh rang out nearby. Qi Wushang had been left out, but he knew he couldn't escape. The fact that the Taoists didn't take action immediately was nothing more than a contempt, and he would never accept contempt. "Stupid, a bunch of idiots! You actually want to commit suicide. As long as you are strong, who cares what is Taoism or what is demon? Why don't you build your own mountain?"

No Taoist responded to Qi Wushang's question. A demon could never understand the determination of the Taoists.

The bald man was stunned by what he said. He glanced at the Taoists who were sitting with their eyes closed, and finally understood that they were going to vomit pills and commit suicide. "Hey, hey, hey, don't worry to death. I was attacked by the demons twice and nothing happened. You won't be fine either. Right, Xiaoqiu? You persuade them."

Mu Xingqiu was also attacked by the demons in Yelin Town. It was not a secret control, but a ruthless attack again and again in order to find the soul, but the soul had been stolen by Feng Ruhui in advance. The demons did not kill the teenagers, nor did they make them crazy, but gave birth to the roots of Taoism. This kind of thing is one in a million, and it cannot be used to comfort everyone.

Zuo Liuying was still in a trance and could not give Mu Xingqiu any advice. In fact, his silence had already made his attitude clear: there was no cure for the demon-invading Taoist priests, and the Taoist practice could not be changed just because of their large numbers.

Mu Xingqiu had to make his own decision. He flew in front of the demon-invading Taoist priests, waved to the bald man, and asked him to fly to his shoulder, "Please listen to me, fellow Taoists."

The demon-invading Taoist priests opened their eyes, and the normal Taoist priests in the distance began to whisper to each other, and a few even flew over here.

Mu Xingqiu saw some familiar faces, but most of them were strangers. Although they were also low-level Taoist priests, they were never interested in the Demon Slayer Society.

Taoist priests are all selected and favored men of heaven. There are not many principles that they do not understand. Mu Xingqiu was almost speechless. He thought for a while, "I am looking for the origin of Tao fire, and I have to go to the land of demons." Save someone, if anyone is willing to follow me - welcome. I can't promise anything. If you suddenly become possessed one day, I may have to kill you with my own hands. But I want to say, Maybe, just maybe, the answer to the origin of Tao Fire contains a way to completely remove the influence of the demon species."

The demon-invading Taoist priests are still silent. It seems simple to kill the demon by committing suicide, but it is not easy to do. Wanting to end one's life requires a strong and stable will. A little hope, even the weakest hope, may make the Taoist priest's Will collapse.

"Why didn't you mention the soul?" Qi Wushang interjected coldly, "The dragon demon has hidden the soul. Even the demon species can't make her tell the truth. Probably you are the only one who can make her hand over the soul. In this way, this The Taoist priests may be saved."

"The reason why the demon seed gave birth to the Dao Root is because the divine soul has not been found, not because the divine soul has had an effect." Mu Xingqiu told the truth. He was trying to ignite a little hope in everyone's hearts, but he couldn't let the hope get too big.

The demon-invading Taoist priests still didn't speak, and several normal Taoist priests flew over.

This is Shen Hao, Xiao Qingtao, Xiao Hao, and Qilin Flea. It is flying back and forth between Zuo Liuying and Mu Xingqiu, looking very excited.

Shen Hao heard everything Mu Xingqiu said, "You yourself are transforming into a demon, and you are bringing along these Taoist priests who have been attacked by demons... Do you know what this means?"

The origin of Dao Fire was Fangfang's realization at the moment before she broke the pill. Except for Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying, few people in the entire Dao Tradition took it seriously, and Shen Hao was no exception. But this time he did not argue, "You can always advance in advance." Guess some things, I'm a little jealous of you. The Demon Slayer Association is about to be established, and we will also invade the land of demons, and we can go together."

Mu Xingqiu shook his head. He thanked Shen Hao for his kindness, but he couldn't accept it. "Whether it's my demon transformation or these people's demonization, they have to stay away from other Taoist priests."

The possessed person is unconscious but appears to be normal. Mixing with ordinary Taoist priests may lead to tragedy.

The demon invasion Taoist priests who were holding hands looked at each other for a few times, and then Hongshan Taoist priest Gan Zhiquan spoke again, "I hope to know the opinions of the Taoist priests who focus on the spirit."

Qi Wushang laughed again, but did not say anything more. In his opinion, the Taoist priests were really ridiculously pedantic. He really didn't understand how the original demon and demon tribes could lose to such a group of people.

Zuo Liuying's eyes moved twice, and he came out of the fugue state. He no longer needed to control the demon species, but he returned to his old habit, still refusing to speak, but relying on others to speak for him.

Bald Man was most willing to do this kind of thing. He flew in front of Qi Wushang, and his position was slightly higher than that of the giant demon king. "This is your burial place. You rose at the Ancestor Peak and you will die at the Ancestor Peak."

"Hey." Qi Wushang once thought about running away, but when there was no way to escape, his kingly demeanor returned and he tried to straighten up, "Where is the Demon Queen? Has anyone seen her?"

The demon mountain pass had been scraped several feet to the ground by the repeated impacts of the sword-washing pool. If the brown deer transformed by the demon queen had not been taken away by other demon soldiers, it would have been shattered to pieces.

No one answered, and Qi Wushang didn't care. The Fire-Eyed Demonic Pill was bigger than ever, almost occupying half of his face. "Taoist priests, you have seen the power of the demons. This is just a drop in the bucket. They are about to return to this world." Not one or two, but thousands. I heard that Taoists have good memories. Please remember my death, because this will be your death soon..."

A ball of fire flew over. The caster was a Taoist priest, and more five-element spells followed closely behind.

Qi Wushang refused to sit still and wait for death. Fire shot out from his eyes, but the fire was blocked by some invisible spell before it was less than a foot long.

All five elements of spells hit the target, and the giant demon king's body became riddled with holes in an instant. He opened his mouth for the last time, suppressed the painful wail, and shouted loudly: "The devil will always..."

Qi Wushang's body turned into ashes, leaving only the solitary Fire Eye Demonic Pill. The flame disappeared and condensed into a crimson orb the size of an egg.

Zuo Liuying put away the orb, the bald man turned to all the demon-invading Taoist priests, and said seriously: "You are Taoist priests, and you are also destined to become demons. Leave Taoism, leave the human world, and never come back. You must be the forgotten ones. "

This was a decision made by the Taoist priests who paid attention to the spirit. Although it seemed ruthless, it was the first time in the history of the Taoism that they were open to the evil invading Taoist priests.

No one knows what this means, not even the Taoist priests who made the decision.

"Mu Xingqiu." Bald Man rarely called out his name, his expression still serious, "Taoist authority has given you the power of life and death. If a Taoist priest who has become a demon escapes, you will be responsible."

"I will be responsible." Mu Xingqiu said.

All the demon-invading Taoist priests stood up and once again gave him the Taoist gift. This was not gratitude, but obedience.
