Tushan Lang appeared at the door. 0
"Boss? How come you're with Li'er?" 0
"Accident..." Aragaki Nigaki still hadn't recovered from the story just now, he sighed as he looked at the fifteen bodies. 0
 
 
"Bro, I want to take Mr.Zhou and leave!" 0
"What are you talking about?! Where do you want to go?" 0
"Anywhere is fine! I just want to be with him!" 0
 
 
"You and him are just..." Tushan Lang saw the body standing still, "Did you do this?" 0
"It wasn't her, it was Zhou She," Xiao Yao stepped forward and said. 0
Tushan Lang looked at his sister, asking in confusion, "Really?" 0
 
 
Xiao Yao was stunned, and then he looked at the wounds on the body again. There was no residual spiritual power of the demon clan, and it did not fit their killing habits. It was indeed not killed by the demon clan. 0
But he felt that Tushan Lang's words were a bit strange, but he couldn't point out what was strange. 0
"Brother, I have been waiting for so many years. Now they are all dead... I don't want to wait anymore! I want to leave with Mr. Zhou!!" 0
 
 
"Let's talk about it later. The leader and the boss are meeting at the stronghold tonight, and you're the only one not there! Do you know how worried I am?" Tushan Lang bowed and said, "Boss, please forgive me. It's my sister... sigh!!" "Go to the stronghold. This place..." Aragaki Nigaki looked around, the smell of blood still strong, "Let's go!" Zhou She knelt on the ground, shouting "kill me" repeatedly, completely unable to have a conversation. 0
 
 
Tushan Li Cast a spell to calm it down. 0
With Tushan Lang, everyone arrived at the previous street alley - "Tongyoujing". 0
As they went deeper, the demonic energy became even more intense. 0
 
 
In the end, everyone arrived in front of a dry well. Aragaki Nigaki understood at a glance and, without waiting for Tushan Lang to speak, prepared to jump into the well. Tushan and his sister looked surprised. 0
 
 
"Boss? What are you doing?" 0
"Huh? Aren't I supposed to be downstairs?" 0
The Tushan siblings shook their heads simultaneously. 0
 
 
"At this point..." Tushan Lang walked up to a door, pulled it open effortlessly. "What?!! You guys are really throwing me off! Someone should be living here, right?!" "This is the warehouse of the front shop, with a total of four floors below. We hide here to avoid Xianmen searches while living among the human race," Tushan Li explained. 0
 
 
"Oh? Won't so many monsters gathering together be discovered?" 0
"The human race's spiritual level is too low, they can't even sense our existence. We cause a big commotion in Longchi City every once in a while. This way, there's monster energy everywhere, so it's not surprising. Even if Xianmen comes, they won't know we're right below." 0
"Interesting... the most dangerous place is also the safest." 0
 
 
Everyone followed Tushan Lang into the warehouse, descended along the wooden ladder, and finally arrived at a secret chamber. The demonic energy here was extremely strong, so Xiao Yao had to use the Shu Mountain Immortal Arts to shield against the demonic aura. A sturdy and tall man stood in the center of the secret chamber, surrounded by fifty to sixty demonic creatures. 0
 
 
The person saw Aragaki Nigaki and respectfully saluted, "Boss! You finally arrived!" Then he loudly announced to the surrounding crowd, "Everyone, this person before us is the hero of our clan—Aragaki Nigaki! He single-handedly killed two Xianmen sect leaders and an elder, avenging our clan!" Before he could finish speaking, the group of monsters erupted in cheers. "Are you Xue Andu?" Aragaki Nigaki asked. 0
 
 
"Exactly! Since you are here, the position of leader naturally belongs to you. I, as a humble tree spirit, am willing to serve as your loyal follower!" Xue Andu was extremely excited, unable to contain his emotions. 0
 
"Willing to serve as your loyal follower!!" 0
 
Although the secret room was not small, the simultaneous shouting of over fifty people made Aragaki Nigaki feel a buzzing sensation in his head. 0
 
 
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Is this all the people we have?" 0
"Of course not! The ones you see here are the elite of our clan. The rest of our brothers are patrolling around Longchi City to prevent any unforeseen events." 0
"What are you planning?" Aragaki Nigaki asked. 0
 
 
"Nature is to kill Emei and wipe out Xianmen! Restore the power of our demon clan!!" 0
"Are you all local demons?" 0
"Most likely." 0
 
 
"Then you should know that the Three factions of Shu Region have no intention of coveting our clan. Why do this?" 0
"Boss, after all, humans are humans! As they say, 'Different species have different hearts.' After you killed the head of Qionghua, all the Shenzhou Xianmen, including the Three factions of Shu Region, simultaneously launched a purge of the demon clans in their respective territories. They kill on sight, regardless of good or evil!" Xue Andu said angrily. 0
"But from what I know... they did this not only because of my actions, but also because you, under my banner, were the first to attack the Xianmen disciples. Isn't that right?" Aragaki Nigaki questioned. 0
 
 
The group of monsters fell silent upon hearing this, and Xue Andu also bowed his head in silence. Aragaki Nigaki continued, "Although the Emei Sect has sent people to capture our brothers, it seems they have not killed anyone. On the other hand, you..." "Boss, are you here to question us with an army? What exactly do you mean? I don't understand..." Xue Andu stared straight at Aragaki Nigaki, with a cold and serious expression. 0
 
 
"I don't want to provoke a war. It would be best if we could resolve this peacefully." 0
"Xianmen enslaving our people for hundreds of years, is that all there is to it?!" 0
"Exactly! The chief is right! How can we just let go of the grudges of these past few hundred years?!" 0
 
 
"Said it!" 0
"Boss, we can't just let it go like this!!" 0
The group of monsters echoed, with a powerful momentum. 0
 
 
Aragaki Nigaki Looking around and listening to their words, I only feel that this group of demons is so childish. His temper flared up, he took off the long sword behind him, and with a clang, he inserted it into the ground. 0
All the demon races, including Xue Andu, Tushan Lang, and Tushan Li, were startled and quickly stepped back. 0
"The human and demon races have not been at war for hundreds of years. If we start a war, how can we guarantee victory? Even if we win... then what? Enslave the human race? If we do that, what's the difference between us and them? The peace you speak of doesn't exist at all! In the future, they will rebel!! With this endless cycle, what have we gained?!" 0
 
 
Aragaki Nigaki activated his spiritual power and scanned the group of demons. He casually grabbed a demon and loudly asked, "You agreed to start a war just now. For what reason?" 0
"Of course, it's to resist Xianmen..." 0
"Tell me! What are you fighting for?" Aragaki Nigaki interrupted him, asking without doubt. 0
 
 
The little monster trembled in fear, "I... I want to live a good life... I don't want to be scared every day..." 0
After speaking, he was pushed into the crowd, and another person was pulled out. 0
"What about you?" 0
 
 
"I... I want to avenge my daughter-in-law! She was killed in Penglai, her skin and fur made into a cloak, her eyes gouged out... used as medicine for the human race..." 0
Aragaki Nigaki repeatedly asked several people, and the results were mostly the same. 0
He raised his arm and shouted, " Brothers, I am also a demon. Just like you, there is no difference! I have also been harmed by Xianmen and even once approached death. Just now, I heard only two demands - 'live well' and 'revenge'. If the latter succeeds, it will lead to an endless cycle of hatred. If it fails, we will all be killed! Think about your family, friends, is it really worth it?" 0
 
 
Aragaki Nigaki raised his long sword high and declared, "If it's just for the sake of living a good life... I swear! I will not let you down!!" In reality, he was deeply conflicted. On one hand, he felt that oppression should be resisted, but on the other hand, being a modern person, he had seen too much war and had an inherent anti-war mindset. This conflict began to take root from the first encounter with the conflict between humans and demons. Originally, he had planned to lead the demon clan in overthrowing the rule of Xianmen over the human world, but after the incident with Xu Changqing, he deeply felt the absurdity of this idea. 0
 
 
Therefore, he decided to use his prestige among the demon clan to calm the anger of both clans. 0
"Boss! I support you!!" 0
