Guarding the ancient human race for a thousand years, yet ridiculed by the world.

Chapter 17 Two Western Saints Enter the East

"Demons, what are you doing? Don't kill my child—"

In the demon city, the powerful demons who had been holding back finally erupted, no longer hesitant, and began killing anyone they saw!

puff--

A human infant was swallowed whole by a powerful demon!

"My child—"

"Oh my god, run!"

"The demons are eating people!"

The humans were terrified and scattered in all directions!

However, how could the demon race let them go?

They all chased after them and began to fight!

However, some lucky humans managed to escape the demon city!

……

"Ergou, you're back? What's wrong?"

The humans who escaped were disheveled, their eyes filled with terror.

Er Gou cried out in terror, "Dead! They're all dead!"

"The Holy Ruler is right, the demon race eats people! The demon race eats people!"

"My child was killed, devoured alive by those heartless demons—"

"I don't want to live anymore!"

"Waaaah, why don't you believe the Holy King's words..."

These humans who escaped and returned all recounted their experiences!

The people of the human tribe were stunned.

"Second sister-in-law, is what you're saying true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Everyone was struck dumb!

Although they couldn't believe it, how could Er Gou and the others lie to them?

Was everything the sage king said true?

"Nonsense!"

Just then, a powerful pressure suddenly descended!

But Xuan Du has appeared!

"Greetings, Immortal Master!"

"Greetings, Immortal Master..."

People knelt down.

"Please, Immortal Master, intervene and save my children! They are still in the hands of the demon race!"

"Please, Immortal Master..."

"Master, uncle, please save my husband..."

When these people saw Xuandu, they clung to him like a lifeline, and immediately cried and begged for his guidance.

"roll!"

Xuan Du kicked a woman away, his face cold.

"These people are talking nonsense! The outside world is paradise; where would you find demons eating people?"

Xuandu pointed at those people: "Spreading heresy and misleading the public! Hang them up immediately! Whip them a hundred times a day!"

Since becoming Taiqing's disciple, Xuandu has come to understand that the outside world is in chaos due to witches and demons, and what these people are saying is true!

The demon race does indeed eat people!

However, having already become a disciple of a sage, he felt that he had already transcended the mundane world and forgot that he was once a human!

He is now a high and mighty god, no longer the same kind of human as these people!

Looking at these people, he felt as if he were looking at ants, and even felt utterly disgusted.

If it weren't for Taiqing's orders, why would he have lingered in the human tribe and mingled with these "inferior" humans?

He felt disgusted to be with these inferior humans.

Then, these humans who escaped back were hung up.

These people had a look of despair in their eyes.

They deeply regretted their past actions, believing Taiqing's words instead of heeding the sage ruler's advice!

However, what's the use of regretting it at this point?

……

The west,

Mount Sumeru!

At this moment, two Taoist priests were sitting atop Mount Sumeru.

He was a man of ethereal bearing, but withered and emaciated, his head tied in a sash.

A face etched with suffering, yet filled with compassion for humanity.

These two people are none other than the two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin.

"Senior brother, we two have made forty-eight great vows to become saints, but the West is barren and sparsely populated. We don't even have a single living being willing to become our disciple. When will we be able to repay the karmic debt we owe to the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhunti spoke with a worried expression.

After the conflict between the Dao and the Demon, the Demon Ancestor Rahu self-destructed his primordial spirit, blasting the western land into countless holes and destroying all its spiritual veins.

As far as the eye can see, the entire west is barren and desolate...

Forget about anyone coming to become my apprentice; they don't even have a single complete low-grade spiritual root.

Jieyin also seemed preoccupied, letting out a long sigh and saying, "Yes, junior brother, this is our destiny..."

Zhunti, however, was very unwilling and said, "Senior brother, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and all things leave a glimmer of hope! I believe that Heaven never closes off all paths!"

Jieyin asked, "Junior brother, have you perhaps come up with a solution?"

Zhunti's eyes darted around, and he said, "Senior brother, how about... we try our luck in the East? The East is currently in a chaotic period of witchcraft and demonic possession; perhaps we can take advantage of the chaos and find a glimmer of opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin's eyes lit up!

"Junior brother, you're right! How come I didn't think of that! Let's go right now! With our silver tongues, we should be able to convert some Eastern beings to come here!"

The two exchanged a smile, then rode on auspicious clouds and headed straight for the east!

……

Saintly King Peak.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's Dharma body was sitting on the cliff top.

Suddenly, a small hand covered Lin Xuan's eyes from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a childish voice rang out:

"Father, guess who I am?"

Lin Xuan's Dharma Body chuckled, "Hmm, let me guess... you're the little rascal!"

He suddenly turned around and hugged Mengmeng tightly.

"Oh dear, Daddy, you're so naughty!"

Mengmeng smiled happily.

Lin Xuan's Dharma Body knew that as the human race's seal disappeared, the demon race would soon launch a large-scale invasion of the human race.

He was still worried about Mengmeng, so he brought her to Saint King Peak to take care of her personally.

However, Lin Xuan's Dharma body consumes energy every day, and some of it dissipates each day.

He knew that his Dharma body wouldn't last much longer.

I only hope that when the demon race invades, it will not affect Saint King Peak.

……

Among the human tribes, great shamans such as Kuafu and Houyi infiltrated the tribe.

The humans did not reject them; the simplicity and honesty of the witches made the humans welcome them.

……

After Zhunti and Jieyin arrived in the Eastern Land, they saw that although the East was in the midst of war, it still had some beautiful landscapes, lush and verdant, full of spiritual energy.

This made Zhunti and Jieyin extremely envious and jealous.

"Junior brother, what should we do now?"

He guided the questioner.

Zhunti pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Brother, the Lich and Demon races are currently at odds, and who knows when this great calamity will end! Why don't we... give them a push? As long as we can participate in the calamity, regardless of the fate of the Lich and Demon races, we can get a share of the spoils!"

Jieyin asked, "Junior brother, how should we add fuel to the fire?"

Zhunti stroked his beard and laughed, "Elder brother, I've heard that Xihe, the wife of Emperor Jun of the Heavenly Court of the demon race, gave birth to ten sons several hundred years ago. Why don't we..."

Zhunti then explained his plan to Jieyin in detail.

After hearing this, Jieyin surprisingly smiled and gave Zhunti a thumbs up!

"Junior Brother's strategies are truly divine; I am no match for him!"

Zhunti laughed and said, "In that case, let's take a trip to Tanggu on the Sun Star!"

"That's exactly right!"

……

Sun Star, Tang Valley.

On a lush, vibrant hibiscus tree.

At this moment, the ten princes of the Golden Crow are playing on the Fusang tree.

Suddenly, two bald monks appeared before them.

"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here sneaking around like this?!"

The Great Golden Crow, its body wreathed in the sun's divine fire, roared.

"That's right, don't blame us for being impolite if you don't give us a proper explanation!"

The other golden crows also chimed in with their rebukes!
