Chapter 746 Recapture Yuan Hong?

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Hong opened his eyes and found himself pressed under the mountain. A young man in a white robe and a jade crown was looking at him.

"Bai? Lord Bai Ze?"

Bai Ze tapped his forehead with the folding fan in his hand: "Monster monkey, are you convinced now?"

The demon race has always been a race where the strong prey on the weak and have no regard for etiquette. For humans, this act of being tapped on the head is very rude, but for the demon race it is nothing. Even more rude things happen every day.

Yuan Hong recalled a series of "past events" from the time Qiongqi appeared until he was pressed under the mountain.

"Was all this Master Bai Ze's plan?" Thinking of his own predicament, the ruthlessness in his heart once again took over: "You are secretly plotting against me?! I refuse to accept it, I refuse to accept it! If you have the guts, let me out, and let that woman come over too. I want to fight you to the death!"

"A fight to the death? You?" Bai Ze shook his head and chuckled, with contempt in his expression, which meant that you are not worthy.

Bai Ze stared into Yuan Hong's eyes for more than ten breaths before asking casually, "Do you remember your original intention when you inherited your father's army?"

"I" Yuan Hong really wanted to say that I remembered it, but after thinking about it, I felt that those memories were very distant.

It's so strange. The past ten years in the human world seem to be longer than the thousand years he spent practicing in Meishan. It's so long that some of his memories have become blurred.

What were your original thoughts?

He remembered that he was planning to lead the demon tribe to gain a living space, and then retire and return to Meishan to continue his practice.

In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat.

What have I done all these years?
Previously, Jin Dasheng (ox), Zhu Zizhen (pig), Chang Hao (snake) and Yang Xian (sheep) were taken by Deng Chanyu to be plague-eliminating messengers.

Only Yuan Hong, Dai Li (dog) and Wu Long (centipede) are left of the former Seven Monsters of Meishan. Some time ago, when the Zhou State invaded Hedong, Dai Li and Wu Long were killed by Yang Jian. At that time, he was just angry at Dai Li and Wu Long's incompetence, the loss of troops and generals, and the loss of face.

Looking back now, I feel that Yuan Hong at that time was very unfamiliar. The Seven Monsters of Meishan had been living together for a thousand years. It can be said that they were completely Yuan Hong's vassals and could not be said to be able to attack wherever he ordered. They had all cultivated to the level of great monsters. If they did not have their own ideas, they would not be able to win the support of the people in their respective tribes.

But the brothers still supported him. At his command, they all walked out of Meishan to help him. In the bloody battles in the human world, the brothers never betrayed the oath they made when they swore brotherhood. He was the only one who forgot the oath.
Bai Ze looked at Yuan Hong, not missing any of his subtle expressions. "It seems he still has some spirit in him, not a dead wood. Have you thought it through?"

Yuan Hong's face was filled with shame: "Please, Master Demon Saint, save me!"

"There is someone in this world who can save you, but it's not me." Bai Ze left a light sentence and left on a cloud.

After Bai Ze left, Deng Chanyu accelerated the flow of time in the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map again. Spring passed and autumn came, the sun rose and the moon set, and Yuan Hong was trapped alone at the foot of the mountain. At first, Qiongqi came to laugh at him, but later, no one knew where Qiongqi went, and he was left alone.

He completely lost the concept of time. The resentment that he had accumulated over the past ten years in the human world gradually subsided, and his mentality also returned from enjoying the wealth of the world to the state of practicing in the mountains.

"Brother? Brother, wake up, I'm late." A gentle voice called in his ear. He opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a gentle temperament but gray hair on his temples. He was stunned for a moment.

"Are you... Uncle Yikao?" It took him a while to remember the name of his sworn brother.

Bo Yikao said, "I was reminded by an immortal in a dream that I came here, and only then did I realize that my brother was trapped. I have come to rescue him." In the past, Yuan Hong would have spit in his face. "You, the Zhou State, went back on your word and attacked my city, and now you're playing nice? Do you think I'm stupid?"

But now that most of the anger in his heart has been eliminated, he is really tired and just wants to regain his freedom. It's just the law of the jungle, you can say whatever you want.

Bo Yikao took out a jade talisman and said, "The immortal in my dream said that I need you to be the messenger to eliminate the plague. As long as you agree..."

Yuan Hong didn't even think twice: "Okay, I'm willing to be the plague remover."

At least he is a messenger, which is better than being a groom in the beginning, right?
Agree, must agree.

An hour later, Bo Yikao and Yuan Hong surrendered to the Zhou Kingdom.

The Hedong area, including the original Jiameng Pass, as well as the cities, land, and population of Bingzhou in the north and half of Jizhou were all transferred to the Zhou Kingdom.

Bo Yikao had only one condition, which was that he would take Yuan Hong back to Jincheng to live in seclusion.

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard. This time, the Zhou State found an excuse of "failure to pay tribute on time" and directly marched into the Hedong area. This excuse does not stand up to scrutiny at all. Future generations will definitely criticize Jiang Ziya when reading this history.

Lao Jiang understood this. Not to mention Yuan Hong's reckless character, even an ordinary person would be furious if they were bullied by Zhou Guo in Yuan Hong's shoes.

Deep down, he wanted to eradicate the problem completely, so he just cut it down without saying anything and that was it.

Yuan Hong is strong because of his physical body, and the physical body needs to be tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. It involves talent, but more importantly, sweat. If he abandons his physical body and his true spirit is on the list, Yuan Hong will be just an ordinary immortal. He may even be worse than an ordinary immortal because of his weak talent in magic.

Now, he must give Bo Yikao this face.

Yuan Hong and Bo Yikao were sworn brothers. What if Bo Yikao died with Yuan Hong? These days, loyalty and righteousness are extremely important; a promise is worth a thousand gold. If Lao Jiang forced Bo Yikao to death, his reputation would be completely ruined.

He could only watch Bo Yikao and Yuan Hong go away.

Deng Chanyu and Bai Ze also watched Bo Yikao and Yuan Hong leave.

Deng Chanyu bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Demon Saint."

Bai Ze smiled and said, "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. But Master, by allowing Yuan Hong to continue to stay in the human world, aren't you afraid that he will relapse in the future?"

Deng Chanyu used a very official reason: "Yuan Hong is in a calamity and has not yet completely escaped it. The resentment in his heart has not yet been completely eliminated. Letting him stay in the human world is, firstly, to escape the calamity, secondly, to fulfill his sworn brotherhood, and thirdly, to allow him to dissipate some of his resentment."

Bai Ze seemed convinced: "Master, what you said makes sense."

The reality is that Deng Chanyu is not sure of subduing Yuan Hong. The Buddha is definitely stronger than her, Deng Chanyu, and Sun Wukong is superior to Yuan Hong in both background and character. He has been suppressed for five hundred years and he wanted to give up several times.

If we try to subdue Yuan Hong by force now, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in two years. Let's wait and see for a while.
