Chapter 410 Which Clan Is Strong in Persecuting the Auspicious Beasts?
Why did Senior Brother choose the answer I gave him?
In the corner of the Cloud Light Cave of the Eight Treasures of Kunlun Mountain, Ling’e was folding her slender arms and thinking about that profound question.
She felt that she had to figure out her position in Senior Brother’s heart.
He looked up and saw that the middle-aged Daoist was tightly bound by the Yin and Yang Qi. His mouth was sealed… The Great Daoist Master said, “Junior Brother, isn’t it a waste to kill Bai Ze directly? Why don’t we take him into Ren School? Isn’t he handsome? His cultivation realm is not bad. He will do a good job guarding the house.”
The middle-aged Daoist could only move his neck. At that moment, he hurriedly nodded. Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Senior Brother, that’s not good. This fellow Daoist was one of the ten great demon generals of the ancient times. Back then, he was an ancient mighty figure who could drink at the same table as the Demon G.o.d Kun Peng… Letting the demon general protect our home is not good for the image of Ren School. People will think that we are too arrogant.” The Great Daoist Master nodded and said seriously, “That’s not bad. Although the Demon G.o.d has died, we still have to give the experts respect. Why don’t you ask him if he’s willing?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Bai Ze, a rare and elegant person in the Primordial World. He would rather die than submit. There’s no need to ask. I should just kill him and let him live and die with the Ancient Demon Courts. I can retain half of his essence soul and seal it into a pearl. It can also be used as a living history book.” The middle-aged Daoist widened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with grief and indignation. Ling’e almost laughed out loud. She could almost hear the Daoist’s silent shout.
“Are you a human?! Are you a human?! Please be a human!” Something like that.
The Great Daoist Master continued, “It’s not good to deal with him in such a crude manner. After all, he doesn’t have any negative karma. Moreover, he has the reputation of an auspicious beast…”
“What a pity.” Li Changshou shook his head regretfully. “This auspicious beast has already transformed.” The Great Daoist Master clicked his tongue. “After transforming, you will look like a human. If you use it as food, it will indeed affect our Dao hearts. It is said that Connate spiritual beasts are full of treasures.”
Bai Ze trembled and tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and said, “Why don’t we let him enter the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace and be an old boy?” Li Changshou said, “Then isn’t the threshold of Ren School a little too low? There are so many living beings in the world who want the protection of our Saint. This is also a karma. Master should not like
it.”
The Great Daoist Master nodded to express his approval and sighed. “That’s right. There’s no need for this fellow to come up with a plan for Ren School either. Junior Brother, you’re enough.”
Li Changshou said, “Senior Brother, the people involved actually mind a little.”
“Hahahaha! Kill, kill, end it all.”
The Great Daoist Master laughed loudly. He raised his finger and pointed at Bai Ze’s forehead, which was hanging in mid-air by the Taiji Painting. Two drops of tears rolled down the corners of Bai Ze’s eyes. As he shook his head crazily, he made his body tremble under the restraint of the Yin and Yang
Qi.
“That!”
When Ling’e saw her senior brother gesturing behind her, she stood up decisively and shouted softly, “Great Daoist Master, why don’t you let him speak? There is a saying in the human race that humans speak kindly when they are about to die. This time, he only threatened Ren School and helped the remnants of the ancient Demon Court. If he is willing to make up for his mistakes… We can also use him as a model and set an example for those demons.” Bai Ze immediately looked at Ling’e gratefully. Li Changshou gave her a thumbs-up with his left hand. Ling’e’s face was flushed. It was rare for her to be praised by her senior brother.
The Great Daoist Master extended his right hand and swiped across the air. The Yin and Yang Qi on Bai Ze’s mouth immediately disappeared.
At that moment, the demon general was extremely angry. He opened his mouth and said, “Who said that I would rather die than submit! I will submit! I appeared this time because I want to submit!”
Li Changshou frowned and said, “Senior Brother, is that really Bai Ze?”
“We must have captured the wrong person.” The Great Daoist Master shook his head. “He’s a Primordial Senior after all. He actually has no integrity. Kill him.”
“Two disciples of Ren School, disciples of the Saint, don’t torture me like this!”
Bai Ze could not help but cry. “I arranged for someone to send jade talismans to the Immortal Du Sect because I wanted to get in touch with Ren School in advance and try to see if we can reconcile. I’m willing to guard the gate of Ren School. I only hope that Ren School will take me in. Don’t think about killing me!”
Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master looked at each other. The two of them immediately… smiled. The Great Daoist Master said, “Fellow Daoist, I’m a little confused. Just hide. No one will have any thoughts about you. Why do you have to help Lu Ya? If not for you guiding Lu Ya, I would not have been able to detect your whereabouts even with the Taiji Painting.” “Ah…”
Bai Ze sighed softly and said, “When Lu Ya went to look for me that day, I wanted to avoid him. At that time, Lu Ya was surrounded by black Qi. The death tribulation had already descended. I once promised the Demon G.o.d to protect him, so I helped him break through the tribulation…”
“Oh? Demon G.o.d?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you seem to be hiding something. If it’s really because of your relations.h.i.+p with the Demon G.o.d in the past or because you promised the Demon G.o.d, your tone should not be so light when you say that. It was as if you had already thought of an excuse. It seems that this fellow Daoist is not speaking the truth. Senior Brother…”
“It’s the G.o.ddess of the Sun, the G.o.ddess of the Sun!”
Bai Ze’s eyes were filled with helplessness. He smiled bitterly and sighed. “It was Lu Ya’s mother who saved my life. The day before the Demon Court was destroyed, the G.o.ddess of the Sun knew that the Demon Court would definitely lose in the battle with the human race. Therefore, she entrusted this little prince to me and asked me to save him three times. I have already saved him three times. I don’t owe Lu Ya anything anymore! The reason why I said that it was the Demon G.o.d and not the G.o.ddess of the Sun was because I did not want her reputation to be affected by this matter. I was afraid that others would gossip behind our backs. Even without Lu Ya, when Fellow Daoist Water G.o.d’s cultivation level breaks through and condenses the Golden Body of Merit, how can he let me off? Based on Fellow Daoist Water G.o.d’s personality, he would probably wipe out everything that was unstable in the Heavenly Courts and Ren School. I was also using the matter of the land to exchange a few blows with the Water G.o.d. The Water G.o.d actually thought of using the power of the Heavenly Dao to wear down the patience of the demons. That was indeed what I had overlooked previously. I felt that I was inferior to the Water G.o.d and decided to appear. If the Water G.o.d does not find me today, I will really have to hide in the Chaos Sea to protect myself.” His words were extremely sincere. It simply made those who heard it cry and feel sad. It highlighted the helplessness of having no choice but to do so because the path ahead was dark.
However…
“Junior Brother.” The Great Daoist Master was puzzled. “Why do you want to kill everything that is unstable in the Heavenly Courts?” The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched. He said softly, “Fellow Daoist, you must have imagined it in your heart.”
Bai Ze was stunned.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “That’s right. Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, you must have misunderstood something. With your personality, if not for Teacher’s orders, you would probably not care about anything other than earning merit.” Bai Ze could not help but be stunned. He subconsciously asked, “If you did not have great aspirations, Fellow Daoist Water G.o.d, why did you put in so much effort to build a good relations.h.i.+p with Jie School?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“That’s considered an accident. Probably.”
After all, when he first met Master Zhao, Master Zhao had said that he wanted to befriend him, but he vehemently refuted.
“Then, why did the Water G.o.d establish the Sea G.o.d Sect?”
Bai Ze said firmly, “When the Sea G.o.d Sect was only five or six temples away, I used my mystical abilities to investigate from time to time. Fellow Daoist, you appeared at the Sea G.o.d Ceremony that day and deliberately befriended the Dragon race’s Crown Prince, Ao Yi…”
Li Changshou sighed softly. “If I were to say that a group of Magihumans took the initiative to call me the Sea G.o.d and stuffed a bunch of incense offerings into me, and wanted to deal with them, I would be b.u.mped into by the dragon race. Coincidentally, Ao Yi still knows me. I can only counterattack pa.s.sively… Heh, no one will believe me.”
Bai Ze frowned and said, “Then, are you deliberately luring the demons to gather at the Demon Ascension Mountain?”
Li Changshou said calmly, “I want to s.n.a.t.c.h the Man-Exterminating Sword, but I don’t want to let those negative karma demons go. I want more merit anyway. I can only lure more negative karma demons over.”
“Why did you scheme against Jin Chanzi of the Western Sect?”
“It’s a trial given by the Great Daoist Master.”
