Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 952 Traitor
Dao Yi was a little flustered. She had heard Liang Yuan say that Wang Xuanzhi had inherited the purest bloodline of the Bai Min tribe. She was married to Wang Xuanzhi, so she naturally had his scent. Wouldn't she become a blatant bait in the cultivation world?
The demon general's next words confirmed Dao Yi's idea.

“The blood of the Bai people has a peculiar smell. We can smell it as long as you are nearby, and I suppose other demon races are the same,” the demon general said, giving Liang Yuan a meaningful look. “Your blood also has a fatal attraction for demon beasts.”

Liang Yuan thought of the other clansmen, and his heart tightened. "What kind of temptation?"

Demon General: "Naturally, it's the kind that you eat!"

Dao Yi: "."

Dao Yi suddenly remembered something: Wang Xuanzhi inherited pure Bai Min blood, so when the two of them traveled together around the world, they would always encounter monsters. It wasn't because of her, but because Wang Xuanzhi was a walking bait.

Before meeting Ling Xuzi, Wang Xuanzhi must have only a vague understanding, but after meeting the old man, everything about him made sense.

This is because they're afraid she won't be able to defeat the monster, so they're following her all over the world.

Hurrah!

She said that she had consulted the oracle before her trip, and the result was a hexagram indicating a life of travel and hardship. She was only able to do so because of Wang Xuanzhi's kick.

Looking back now, it really was his interference that changed the course of many things.

Speaking of divination, Dao Yi recalled that later, when they traveled, she still couldn't give up and cast another divination, which showed that they would lose something very important.

If we are separated from our loved ones and travel far away from the world, wouldn't we be losing the most important thing?

If Wang Xuanzhi doesn't wake up, she will be alone in the cultivation world.

Dao Yi patted his face to cheer himself up. "Demon Lord, as far as I know, my maternal uncle and his family are from the main branch of the Bai Min tribe. They did not cultivate the technique of contracting demon beasts. Why are you still hunting them down for their mistakes?"

Upon hearing this, the demon general breathed on the two of them, splashing snowflakes all over their faces.

Dao Yi: ".", Can't I even ask that?
Dao wiped away the snow, glanced at Liang Yuan, and wondered if he could still keep this uncle.

The demon general carefully protected Teng Yuan before speaking to the Daoist, "It's a customary rule that cultivators use birds and beasts as helpers in their contracts. As long as humans don't go too far, we won't mind. Anyway, we just tear apart a couple of people to eat when we have nothing else to do. It's fair competition, so there's no question of anyone wronging anyone."

Dao Yi's lips twitched. If she hadn't clearly seen that this leader of the fat remnants had no karmic debts, she would have definitely thought they were a group of people who indiscriminately killed innocent people.

Since neither side has any problems, why is the Bai people tribe being singled out and hunted down?
The demon general's next words answered her two questions.

"The Bai people are the most treacherous. They appear to be peaceful and unassuming, but they steal children behind the scenes!" The demon general grew angrier as he spoke, wishing he could immediately entangle Liang Yuan and tear him to pieces.

Dao Yi: "Stealing a child?"

The demon general's cold eyes were slightly red. "My elder brother and I were just cubs back then. We sneaked out of our tribe without telling our people, and were caught by the despicable Bai Min tribe. My elder brother risked his life to save us, but I can never find him again."

Sneaking away from their tribe behind their backs—this story sounds so familiar.

Yes, many monsters around the world have been separated from their people in this way.

"Your elder brother is Tengyuan's father. After he was taken away, he somehow ended up in our world," Dao Yi cleared his throat. "If the Bai Min tribe took him away, why didn't they just kill him or simply form a contract with him instead of leaving such a huge hidden danger? And how are you so sure that he is from the Bai Min tribe?"

The demon general replied with certainty, "No mistake, the scent of the Bai Min tribe members is different from others. Among cultivators, apart from those with special physiques, hey?" As the demon general spoke, he moved closer to Dao Yi, "Little girl, with your physique, you'll just be used as a furnace by cultivators. And with such a low cultivation level, those old monsters could catch you one by one."

Dao Yi: “.”, she still wanted to return to Huanqiu. Dao Yi was silent for a while, then she said to Liang Yuan: “Uncle, you said that back then someone leaked the fact that the Baimin tribe could easily contract with demon beasts, and then the Baimin tribe was attacked by cultivators, and since then they have been fleeing in all directions and never lived a carefree life again.”

Dao paused for a moment, then asked Liang Yuan, "Uncle, do you think it's possible that the same person did this, that is, the traitor from the Baimin tribe?"

Liang Yuan was stunned. Over the years, cultivators had been capturing them, and demonic beasts would kill them on sight. Therefore, he had never had the time to sit down and talk calmly with cultivators and demonic beasts.

He believed that other members of his tribe had the same reason.

Today, we glimpse the truth: was it caused by our own people?

Liang Yuan was deeply shocked. After a long while, he finally managed to grit his teeth and blurt out, "I want to kill this traitor with my own hands!"

We don't even know who the traitor is; it's too early to tell.

“We can’t find the traitors within the clan for now, but we can look for the tree spirit that betrayed us earlier!” Liang Yuan said. “You stay in the Fei Yi clan for now, I’ll be right back.”

The Bai people were so special that Dao Yi dared not let him go alone.

Dao Yi thought for a moment and then said to the demon general, "Demon Lord, can you give me a token?"

She didn't want to fight again when she returned to the Ice Kingdom. Currently, only the Fat Remnant Clan wouldn't hurt them. After settling accounts, she would still have to come back and hide.

The demon general shook his body, dropping a scale, and said in a somewhat enigmatic tone, "Don't call me Demon Lord anymore, my real name is Su You."

Dao nodded to indicate that he had remembered, then turned and walked with Liang Yuan out of the vast ice field.

As they were about to leave the icy plain, Dao asked Liang Yuan, "Uncle, why didn't you cover up your hair?"

Liang Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Cultivators have their own detection methods. Those with high cultivation can see through us with just a glance, while those with lower cultivation have artifacts made by the Fire Flame Sect that can easily identify our identities."

"Fire Flame Sect, is it?" Dao Yi narrowed his eyes and added another note to their record.

Looking at Liang Yuan's white hair, Dao Yi felt that if the two of them just walked out like this, how would they be any different from rats crossing the street?

After thinking for a moment, Dao Yi asked Liang Yuan for some herbs and, following the hair care recipes of the noblewomen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, made a sticky liquid and applied it evenly to Liang Yuan's hair.

The medicine worked very well; in no time, Liang Yuan's white hair turned black.

With the hair issue resolved, the remaining problem is the special bloodline.

Thinking of what had happened around the world, Dao asked Liang Yuan, "Could your great-uncle inscribe formations within his own body?"

Liang Yuan was taken aback. This was a common occurrence in cultivation, but they always carved it in other people's bodies and had never tried it in their own.

However, Liang Yuan quickly realized Dao Yi's intention and immediately began experimenting on himself.

As for the outcome, we'll find out when they settle accounts with the tree demon and whether they're being followed by any humans or demons along the way.

Good afternoon!
