Chapter 0911 Selling Out Friends
The group of monsters sat on the ground facing the wall. Opposite them, two tall beast monsters sat on their knees side by side, closely touching each other so that they could place a large leather armor on their shoulders. It's Mr. Yishi.
Lord Yishi has lived openly or secretly among the demon clan for thousands of years, and has a long-standing reputation. It is normal for him to disappear for decades occasionally, but he still has a high status after reappearing.
If it were in the past, Mr. Yishi would have sent the soul who was the most proficient in occult knowledge to speak, giving a speech about night being day and death being eternal life. Today, he did not have this enthusiasm. He just wanted to speak his mind.
"You will be killed, but I won't." Mr. Yishi has the highest position and can overlook the group of demons. His eyes fell on Jin Cu's face and winked at him, "So, it is important to make more friends no matter what. , multiple friends and multiple paths, you might be able to use them anytime..."
Jin Cuo is a spirit demon who is not familiar with Lord Yishi and has little respect for him, so he dares to interrupt him, "Do you have any friends in the Taoist tradition? I don't think anyone can help you."
"Haha, what a simple and simple little demon, it reminds me of myself a thousand years ago... Did I say I wanted my 'friends' to help?"
"Then what do you mean..."
"Sometimes - not all the time, but occasionally, it depends on the situation - friends are meant to be betrayed, provided that the friend is important enough. Do you understand what I mean?" Mr. Yishi stretched out his finger and scratched a half Circle, the demons all nodded in agreement, whether they understood or were confused.
"Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying took away the demon seeds and demon souls. Dao Tong must be chasing them. They will soon find out that Mr. Yishi's assistance is essential, so I will not be killed, and I can still Negotiate terms with Daotong. All this is because I have prepared for the rainy day and made useful 'friends' a long time ago. Jin Cu, you had a chance, but it's a pity that you are too young and your mind is too rigid. You just know how to kill and fight. , neither asking for credit nor making friends, resulting in missed opportunities.”
"I would rather die than betray my friends." Jin Cuo said coldly, feeling that this Yishi Lord was very different from the one in the legend.
"Haha, good job. I'm willing to make friends like you, but it's a pity that you can't control it once the devil comes in. Mr. Yishi's face suddenly darkened, "What kind of friends are Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying? He ran away, left me behind, and even stole my precious Demonic Soul Beads and Demonic Soul. He obviously lost to me and was taken away. Hum, shouldn’t such a ‘friend’ be betrayed? "
Mr. Yishi raised his voice angrily, not mentioning that he ran away more than ten miles first, and he didn't know that the demon soul had entered reincarnation again.
"Should!" The demons roared together, their voices echoing back and forth in the empty room, making everyone's ears numb.
This is a temporary cell with a large area. Pei Zihan's nearly a hundred beast monsters and Jin Cu's five or six monster soldiers are all locked in it, and they only occupy a corner. The cell is very clean. The floor and walls are paved with bluestone. It is dark but not humid. There is a slight smell in the air. It is the excrement of the prisoners. They have gone to far corners to solve this kind of problem, but they still cannot avoid it. The smell comes.
The inability to perform black magic caused them great distress.
All the prisoners have a thin rope tied around their necks, which blocks the magic. Although the monsters can move freely in the prison, they feel no different from the mortals in the five-flowered prison. Ishi-kun's treatment is even more special. The string around his neck is decorated with three small pearls, which can suppress the spirits and make him unable to escape.
Mr. Yishi had learned many weird sorceries or spells in order to deal with the pursuit of Taoism. However, in front of the new patriarch, these strange tricks were of no use at all.
"I have no friends who can betray me, because I deserve to die." A voice rang out from the demon group. Pei Zihan sat with the beast demon. There was no expression on the skull's face, but his eyes were filled with frustration and despair. "I am an unconfident person." The foolish fool who is trying too hard to lead the demon race to rejuvenation cannot even resist the invasion of the demon species. "
Mr. Yishi frowned, not liking the change of topic, "All the monsters sitting here, except me, have not blocked the invasion, so you are all fools, Pei Zihan, you are the smarter one among the fools. , but you are so ugly that even I can’t bear it, so it’s not wrong to say that you deserve to die.”
Pei Zihan became more and more frustrated, lowered his head and said, "I hurt everyone..."
"Fortunately, with the brocade as a foil, you only brought a hundred beast monsters, and his entire demon army fell. (っ◔◡◔)っBoy, is this the amount of your demon army?"
Lord Yishi's tone is directly related to the strength of both parties. He is not polite at all when faced with monsters of all sizes that are far inferior to him, and he doesn't care about the other party's feelings. The monsters have already accepted his status, so they don't care much about it.
Only Jin Cu couldn't stand the old demon's attitude, so she stood up and strode towards the excretion area, saying she would rather smell the stink than listen to Mr. Yishi's words.
"Haha, I'm not very capable, but my temper is not bad." Mr. Yishi said with a smile.
One of the demon soldiers under Jin Cu's command whispered: "The other demon clans in the army are gathering and training a larger army in the demon land... It's probably useless."
They all saw the powerful strength of the new ancestor of the Taoism. Now that the entire Taoism has returned, the demon clan has no hope.
Mr. Yishi yawned, "It's better to die. It's better to die all together. It's all over. Alas, I finally mastered the inner elixir of Yue Mang. I thought I could dominate the world, but it turned out to be even more powerful. It's so powerful." I'm not even interested in practicing anymore... Sigh, go to sleep, have a good dream, and think about the good old days. It's really unreasonable. I became stronger, but ended up getting weaker. I escaped from the void, but ended up getting worse. I feel aggrieved. Let’s die, let’s all die. In the end, only the Patriarch is left, let him play with his left hand and his right hand..."
"Mr. Yishi." A majestic voice came from a distance.
Yishi Jun jumped to the ground, the soles of his feet were shaking. He looked back at the two beast monsters and complained that they were too tall. Then he stepped through the group of monsters and squeezed through, saying loudly: "Who is here? See me?"
"Follow me," the voice said.
Under the gazes of the monsters who were either confused or envious, Mr. Yishi walked all the way to the door of the cell. He was out of breath after walking a few hundred steps. He missed his own magic in his heart. He said to the Taoist priest at the door: "Are you going to bring all the demons together?" Are all the monsters in the world locked up here? Why build it so big?”
The Taoist priest looks very young, but this does not indicate his true age. Judging from his indifferent expression, he has the demeanor of a high-level Taoist priest. "Let's go."
Mr. Yishi puffed up his chest, hummed solemnly, and followed the Taoist priest out of the cell. The door was closed and unlocked. This is a place of magic. No one can leave unless allowed by the Taoist order.
They were in a tower, and the cell was on the ground floor. After walking out of the cell, the space they saw was not very big. Yishi looked up at the ascending stone stairs and couldn't help but sigh, "Can you fly me up?"
The Taoist shook his head and led the way.
The walls of the tower are full of portals of various sizes, and there are many Taoist priests coming in and out. No one cares about a decaying old demon. Even if he passes by, he doesn't take a second look, but Mr. Yishi looks around curiously. , carefully looked at the Taoist priests he met, "Is it because my magic power is trapped? Look, you Taoist priests are all ordinary."
No one paid any attention to him, so Mr. Yishi was taken to a room on the seventh floor. The person waiting for him inside was not the Taoist patriarch, but two Taoist priests, one old and one young. He recognized the young Taoist priest as Shen Hao.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Shen? You are back, Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying... have also been arrested?" Yishi Jun asked anxiously, without these two "friends" to betray, he would It's really hopeless.
The Taoist priest who escorted the demon prisoner left. Shen Hao pointed to the mirror on the table and said, "It's quite useful for Mr. Yishi."
Another older Taoist priest nodded and stared at the mirror without saying anything.
Mr. Yishi came over and stared at the bronze mirror unceremoniously, but he could not use magic now. He could only see his own reflection in the mirror. He found that the face looked old and weak, and sighed: "I originally had a body." A better body would not be like this even without the support of mana. You took away a human named Shen Shang from the demon clan. How did you deal with it? "
Shen Hao had just returned not long ago and was unclear about the situation here. The old Taoist priest said without raising his head: "He was taken away to see the ancestor. As long as he is willing to return to the Taoist tradition, he can still be forgiven."
"You are magnanimous, tolerant, and worthy of admiration. Are you Yang Yannian, the master of Pangshan? It is better to be famous than to meet him. I am really touched by Pangshan's love for his own people. Ahem... Well, you know that what I trained is actually a Taoism Inner elixir, it's a long story, there is God's will in the world, I always feel that I am not like a demon, but closer to a Taoist, but finally my wish has come true. I think having Taoist inner elixir is considered a Taoist person, right? That’s it…”
"The Mirror of Observation can't see any trace of Mu Xingqiu and the others." Shen Hao said.
"Really? Sorry, my eyes are dark now and I can't see anything."
"Mu Xingqiu, Zuo Liuying, Long Mo, Mu Dong'er, and Yin Buchen are together. Except for Yin Buchen, everyone else has been illuminated by the mirror, but their images in the mirror are very blurry. I can’t tell where it is,” Shen Hao explained.
"And my image is very clear?"
"Um."
Mr. Yishi chuckled a few times, "No need to guess, this is Zuo Liuying's trick. I am very familiar with him. Although he used to be a Taoist priest, his current inner elixir was refined in Zhibu State. , he also learned a lot of new spells from me... You can take away my memory, but..."
Yang Yannian, the master of Pangshan, waved his hand, turned over the mirror, and said calmly: "There are eight Taoist priests monitoring Yang Qingyin. Through her, we may be able to find Mu Xingqiu and regain the demon seed."
Mr. Yishi couldn't stop laughing, but he was thinking about how he could "betray his friends to save his life".
Yang Yannian's expression suddenly froze, and then he said: "The Patriarch has summoned you two."
"Me and Mr. Yishi?" Shen Hao was surprised.
Mr. Yishi laughed even louder, believing that he could escape this disaster in the end. He felt a little doubtful in his heart: I don't know if it was because his magic power had failed or if it was really the case. He felt that Yang Yannian seemed depressed and did not cheer for the birth of the new ancestor. Encourage, as a master Fu Yuemang with a calm heart, it is really unusual to show such an emotion.
