"What method?"
"Fang Qingping is a treasure for dealing with the demon race. It has its own world inside, capable of containing hundreds of demons. If we let Sister Xiaohua enter the bottle..."
"That makes sense... just like Purple gourd..."
"What?"
"I mean similar to the usage of Purple gourd. Do you know any spells?"
Ke Lingfei shook her head. "I only know the spell to summon pure energy, not how to disguise it..."
"Xiaohua, I called your name, answer me, did you hear?"
Niu Xiaohua didn't understand, but still nodded.
Aragaki Nigaki snatched the bottle and aimed it at Niu Xiaohua, "Dare you answer when I call your name?"
"Ah?"
"Mm?"
"Niu Xiaohua!!"
"I am at..."
All is quiet, nothing is happening.
Aragaki Nigaki smiled awkwardly, as if a row of crows flew over their head.
He furrowed his brows, "Is there any other way?"
"There's only one way... go to Shu Mountain. Fang Qingping is Shu Mountain's treasure, they must know about spells. And my sister... is also being held there."
Ke Lingfei looked hesitant, as if wanting to say something but holding back.
"You said earlier that the Shu Mountain and Qingcheng sects captured your people."
"Well... according to Ming Yi, my father and sister are both in the hands of the Shu Mountain Sect."
"What are you waiting for then? Let's go to Shu Mountain!"
"Brother Aragaki, Shu Mountain Sect is trying to capture us. If we go there, won't we be walking into the lion's den? Among the three factions of Shu Region, Shu Mountain Sect is the strongest, and it is also one of The Four Great Immortal Sects in Shenzhou. The current sect leader, Xu Changqing, transcended into an immortal a hundred years ago, and his power is unfathomable, with an 18-level spiritual rank. We..."
"Damn! Immortal? 18-level spiritual rank?! Little Flower only had a 22-level before she got injured... not to mention me... How about this, we can capture a Shu Mountain disciple, extract the spells, and find out where your father and sister are being held. Then we can prepare thoroughly before going to Shu Mountain. I can't let those scum Taoists continue to kill innocent people!"
Hearing that Aragaki Nigaki wants to save her family, Ke Lingfei is extremely grateful and immediately kneels down, "Brother Aragaki... I am sorry for what I have done today... I didn't expect you to really want to help me save my father and sister... I... I have nothing to repay you with..."
Speaking, a head knocked down. Aragaki Nigaki hurriedly helped her up, "What was done under threat is not intentional, it's not your fault. But what makes me angry is why didn't you resist?"
"Resist? brother Aragaki, do you know? Xiandu Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Penglai Mountain, our people there have been resisting for hundreds of years... but what's the result? Skinned alive, their fur made into clothes by those Taoist priests, their cultivation drained completely, even their bones ground into powder for medicine. Resist? We just want to live peacefully... The situation in the Shu region was much better, until you killed the leader of the Qionghua sect."
"Stockholm Syndrome... sigh... why didn't you run away?"
"Where can small demons like us, who have only been around for a few hundred years, go? Only Great Demons with a history of thousands of years are qualified to enter the demon realm, and it takes at least tens of thousands of years to cultivate into a Wuxiang demon. Shenzhou is only so big... what can we do?"
"Stop talking, it's too damn miserable. I feel like crying just listening to you. From what I know, demons harm people, while immortal disciples slay demons and eliminate evil, a common plot in movies and TV shows. How did it get reversed here?"
"Demons harming people? That did happen in the past, but that was hundreds of years ago... since the various Xianmen discovered that refining demon pills can be transformed into natural spiritual energy, the demon clan has been avoiding humans whenever they see them... how could they still dare to harm people? In fact, the so-called harm is just an attempt to seize the Spirit Tower of the human race, to increase our own wisdom."
"What's the relationship between wisdom and intelligence? I don't understand."
" brother Aragaki, you have cultivated for a thousand years and bear the power of gods and demons. Do you not know the specific function of the Spirit Tower?"
"I... was injured before... and lost my memory."
"Oh, so that's how it is... no wonder you said you couldn't use magic."
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later. Let's go near Shu Mountain now and see if we can catch a disciple to ask."
Saying that, Niu Xiaohua picked up his things and strode out of the inn.
Ke Lingfei dropped a gold ingot and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm truly sorry. If any Xianmen disciples inquire, just tell them the truth."
To avoid being detected by Xianmen, the three of them decided to travel on foot.
Niu Xiaohua was in and out of consciousness, walking and stopping along the way, and arrived at the foot of Shu Mountain in Ishimura on the evening of the fourteenth day.
Throughout the journey, Ke Lingfei and Niu Xiaohua grew closer as Ke Lingfei sought to make amends and express gratitude for Niu Xiaohua's devoted care during her serious injury. When Niu Xiaohua was conscious, she often spoke about her husband, Aragaki Nigaki. Listening to Aragaki's stories, Ke Lingfei developed an even greater admiration for the man before her. Observing Ke Lingfei's unwavering care for his wife, Aragaki Nigaki resolved to rescue her family at all costs.
Ishimura is not big, and almost all of the hunters there are locals.
They found an inn to stay in.
Over the next few days, Ke Lingfei took care of Niu Xiaohua, while Aragaki Nigaki inquired about the disciples of Shu Mountain in various places.
On this day, Aragaki Nigaki was inquiring for information at a tea shop on the street.
"Here they come! Finally they're here! The immortals from Penglai, Cloud Book, and the Hanging Garden have arrived! Our Shu region is saved!" The shop assistant rushed into the tea shop, excitedly and vividly describing.
"More than half a month ago at the inn in Hengqu Town, eleven members of the Qingcheng sect were killed by Thousand Year Wolf Demon Aragaki Nigaki! This act shocked the entire Shu region! The 23rd generation leader of Shu Mountain Sect, Xu Changqing, has invited the other three major Xianmen to join forces to exterminate the Wolf demon!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a round of applause in the teahouse.
"This Wolf demon is extremely arrogant! First, he killed the head of Qionghua in Kunlun, and then he caused chaos in the Shu region. It's simply outrageous and has angered both humans and gods!"
"This is the most horrifying case of the Yaozu injuring people in recent years. The Four Great Immortal Sects cannot sit idly by!"
"Kunlun Hanging Garden, Xichuan Shushan, the Immortal City Cloud Book, East Sea Penglai! Among The Four Great Immortal Sects, Hanging Garden and Cloud Book are the most powerful! With their help, we don't have to worry about the Wolf demon not being destroyed!"
"Well said!!"
The tea guests chatted lively with each other.
Aragaki Nigaki With a sneer, "Everyone! It's only right to eliminate harmful monsters, there's no problem with that. But if one recklessly kills monsters without distinguishing between good and evil, then what's the difference between humans and monsters?"
"Nonsense! It's well known that monsters harm people! The Four Great Immortal Sects protect the people and territories, how can there be reckless actions? Do monsters have any good deeds? How can there be no distinction between good and evil? Monsters should be killed!!"
"Yes! How could there be kind-hearted monsters? Even if there are, it's just a disguise! There must be ulterior motives!"
More than ten tea guests were filled with righteous indignation, arguing vociferously. Aragaki Nigaki rolled his eyes, looking disdainful, cursed a few times, and then threw down some coins before heading out. Suddenly, footsteps behind him gathered, and someone shouted, "It's a fairy! It's a fairy!" In the midst of the commotion, Aragaki Nigaki was surrounded by the tea guests and before he could react, he was pushed out of the tea shop, standing disheveled on the street.
He was startled by the sight of the person's reputation.
