"What's your last name, Li? Mine is Xiao! My nickname is Zhao Lun...oops!"
At the end, he unexpectedly burped.
Xiao Yao looked apologetic, "Ate too much for dinner...still haven't digested it..."
"I said give that roasted chicken to me! You just had to snatch it away! Are you full now? Or is my little disciple better... always thinking of his master, unlike you... tsk tsk tsk..."
"Master, that's enough. There are outsiders here!"
"Zhao Lun... huh? Zhao Ling'er? No... wait... you are from Shu Mountain?"
"Since you killed Grandmaster Taiqing, the demon clan in the human realm has become restless. Although the northeast and southeast of Shenzhou are guarded by the Penglai and the Cloud Script Sect, there have been more than fifty attacks on Xianmen disciples in just over a month."
Xiao Yao sighed and continued, "Over half a month ago, you killed Ming Yi, an elder of the Qingcheng sect, and ten disciples. This news quickly spread throughout Shenzhou, and the demon clans in various places immediately rebelled against Xianmen. They regard you as their leader and under the banner of equality for all beings, they are crazily retaliating against Xianmen. Unable to defeat the major sects, they are now resorting to attacking the smaller sects. As of today, the death and injury toll has exceeded ten thousand."
"Wait a minute! I didn't order any of this! Don't blame me for it!"
"You let him finish speaking," Situ Zhong said. "This matter is escalating, and tensions are rising between the human and demon races. If a war breaks out, it will be the innocent civilians of the human race and your demon people who will suffer. My family's sect leader cares for the well-being of the people and does not want to escalate the situation. Therefore, he has invited the other three immortal families to capture you and bring you to justice. This is to demonstrate that the Xianmen is capable of maintaining the stability of Shenzhou, and to deter the rebels. It would be foolish to make enemies with the Xianmen."
"Rebels? Bullshit! They have never been on your side, so how can they be considered rebels? You righteous Taoist priests are just pursuing your own selfish desires, indiscriminately slaughtering the demon race, extracting elixirs, and skinning and dismembering. Is this kind of behavior rare? You officials can set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light a lamp? Shameless!"
"You've misunderstood..."
Aragaki Nigaki Suddenly feeling an incredibly heavy weight on his shoulders, he stumbled and sat down.
"Being deceived by you to come to this desolate place, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill me, then do it!"
Situ Zhong pushed away the hand and said, "You've misunderstood. Aragaki... You must have heard that Three sect of Shu is different from other Shenzhou Xianmen. They are very tolerant of demons. That's because... Shu Mountain has also had demon disciples. But that's not the point..."
Xiao Yao took over and said, "Today, our master and disciples have come to you to stop the war. Although there are voices against war in the Cloud Book and hanging garden sects, the numbers are too few to form an effective protest. So they have come to our sect, which has always coexisted with the demon race. They want to use our sect's position in Shenzhou to order all Xianmen and the demon race to cease fire."
Situ Zhong shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately... our sect is not the strongest Xianmen. We don't have the power to command the world. So my grandmaster... oh... that's Master Xu. He asked me to approach you and have you cooperate with us to stage a play, with the aim of stopping the other demon races from provoking war."
Aragaki Nigaki sneered, "Don't you think it's a bit late? When you were killing demons for elixirs, did you ever think about war? When you used the spiritual power in the elixirs to enhance your own cultivation, did you ever think about war? To be honest, I don't want to cooperate with you..."
Situ Zhong stroked his beard, "As far as I know... your wife is seriously injured and needs to recuperate with pure energy. My magic treasure Fang Qingping contains pure energy, but the pure energy in the treasure is simply not enough. If we can shrink Lady's body and place it into the treasure, then it will be a permanent solution."
"You...!! Are you threatening me?"
"This is cooperation... not a threat."
Aragaki Nigaki is in a dilemma.
On one hand, he does hope that the demon clan can resist these despicable humans, but in any revolution, there will be bloodshed. Even if he sacrifices himself, it's not a big deal.
On the other hand, he felt overwhelming guilt towards his wife. Niu Xiaohua intercepted the attack that was meant for him, resulting in serious injuries. Could he just stand by and watch his wife continue to suffer?
"Not only that... Lao Dao can teach you the Shu Mountain technique. Although it cannot increase your cultivation, nor make the power of gods and demons stronger, it can allow you to use them as you wish. But the consequences... Lao Dao is not responsible, oh."
"I... I..."
"Mr.Nigaki..."
"brother Aragaki!"
Aragaki Nigaki was at a loss for words, and just as he hesitated, he heard the voices of Niu Xiaohua and Ke Lingfei behind him.
Aragaki Nigaki Looking up, there were seven or eight people behind them, old and young.
"Master! Senior brother! I brought them here!" a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy shouted.
This young man had clear eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a strong aura, and headed straight for Situ Zhong and Xiao Yao.
"Well done, Ahan," Xiao Yao praised.
"What's going on? Little Flower? Fifi? How did you come here?"
"It's Zhao Han who said you wanted to see us," Niu Xiaohua said, handing over a piece of cloth. "I personally altered this clothing, so of course I recognize it."
Aragaki Nigaki Furrowing his brows, he lowered his head and noticed a conspicuous tear on the right side of his garment.
"Are you not afraid that this was torn during my struggle with him?" he asked.
Niu Xiaohua His expression turned serious. "I... I'm sorry, Mr. Nigaki... I... I didn't think about that... I just saw your clothes and..."
Aragaki Nigaki He embraced his wife and said, "It's okay... I'm here." Suddenly, he turned around angrily and asked, "When did it happen?" "When you were looking at that fairy," she replied.
"You are forcing the duck onto the shelf!!!"
Before the words fell, Ke Lingfei knelt down and said gratefully, "Brother Aragaki... Thank you... Thank you for saving my father and sister!"
Several people behind Ke Lingfei also knelt down with her.
An old man cried, "Thank you, hero, for saving my life! I will never forget your great kindness! I have no way to repay such a great favor! I am willing to betroth my two daughters to the hero!" With that, he pushed his younger daughter in front of Aragaki Nigaki. Niu Xiaohua was suddenly stunned, with a vacant look and a troubled expression. On the other hand, Ke Lingfei had a completely opposite reaction, with a slight raise of the eyebrows and an expression of joy.
"You...! Ningxiu Taoist right... I'll settle the score with you later!" Then, changing the subject, "Elderly sir, please get up! I appreciate your kindness. I am already married, and this is my wife, Niu Xiaohua." With these words, Ke Lingfei couldn't hide her disappointment, while Niu Xiaohua felt as if she had just tasted honey.
After arranging for everyone to rest on the side, Aragaki Nigaki approached Situ Zhong and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I released the snake demon's people in your name, is that not good?"
"Given you a favor, why are you still asking for more?" Xiao Yao asked from the side.
"Big brother Wolf demon... My master and senior brother are working for the sake of the world. This world doesn't just refer to our human race, but also to the countless demon people like the old man we just encountered. Can you bear to see both humans and demons suffering?" Zhao Han said firmly.
Aragaki Nigaki Originally, he couldn't make up his mind, but now he has no choice. For his wife, for the countless ordinary people, he can only promise them.
But the anger towards the human race in his heart has not dissipated, and more importantly, he doesn't want to live a plain life like this. After all, he is not a real Wolf demon, but a traveler from an alternate world.
Since he's here, if he can't become the strongest in the Nine Realms, he would be letting down his identity as a traveler.
"First, cure my daughter-in-law before anything else."
Upon hearing this, Situ Zhong laughed three times, threw his sword and leaped up, saying, "Xiao Yao, it's up to you next. I'm going to drink!"
"Master! Wait for me! Wait for me! Leave me a few sips!" Zhao Han saw Situ Zhong flying away on his sword and hurried to catch up.
