The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"The Great Demon is coming. There are Great Demon followers in this city, wreaking havoc in secret. Some people in the five major sects are colluding with the Great Demon followers and have great ambitions."

"I, Bai Yuncang, am here to slay demons and monsters on the orders of my master. I hope you can open your eyes. Otherwise, I will kill anyone who stands in my way, even Buddhas!"

Chapter 69 Chaos (II)

Shi Gu was standing in the air, saying "whoever stands in the way will be killed, and whoever stands in the way will be killed", but his eyes were always on Su Xun who was not far away.

However, Su Xun had a stern face, showing no joy or sadness, and there was no sign of anything unusual. He just looked at Shi Gu coldly and turned away.

Su Xun doesn't like Zhu Tian Jie Sha, so naturally he won't like his disciple. If there is a chance, Su Xun will definitely want to kill Zhu Tian Jie Sha with his own hands, even if it means they die together.

Shi Gu withdrew his gaze and sighed inaudibly. The previous leader of the Xuanming Division was once a prominent figure with an excellent reputation.

But more than two hundred years ago, the first battle that made Shi Gu famous was killing the famous leader of the Xuanming Division, dismembering him and leaving no intact body.

He was a senior whom Shigu respected very much. He had never done anything bad in his life. He was a rare good man who integrated knowledge and action.

But...that year the Blood Demon was born, and inflicted the Blood Demon seed on countless people in the martial arts world without knowing it, including Su Xun's master. In the entire martial arts world, only Shi Gu and Zhong Tian Jiesheng knew about this.

So, in that year, Shi Gu and all the other people in the world made a decision together, so that the Blood Demon could not escape by borrowing other people's bodies during the final battle, and so that the Blood Demon could be resurrected after the final battle.

Before the decisive battle between Shuangtian and the blood demon, kill all the blood demons first, without asking any questions, whether they are good or evil, kill them all, leaving no one alive.

This was something that Shi Gu and Zhong Tian Jie Sheng had agreed upon, but in the end, Shi Gu took the lead and killed all the blood demons, earning him a bad reputation.

That year, Zhong Tian Jiesheng had just taken over. Because of the special nature of her skills, she was actually not comparable to the normal Xiantian realm, and she was unable to defeat Shi Gu.

Many years later, when the Blood Demon never appeared in the world again, and the respected Zhongtian Jiesheng never asked about the massacre of half of the martial arts world by Zhutian Jiesha, all these anomalies made the world guess something.

But, even if we understand some things, we cannot let them go.

Just like Su Xun's deep hatred for the calamity of the heavens.

Shi Gu withdrew his thoughts, his body flashed, and he turned into a ball of blood-colored mist, which suddenly dissipated and disappeared without a trace.

The people on the ground stared blankly at the empty sky. After a long silence, a loud noise broke out.

The news of Zhu Tian Jie Sha reappeared in the martial arts world. His disciple Bai Yuncang deposed the next leader of the Yulin Alliance. This news was bound to spread throughout the martial arts world within the next few hours.

The most shocking thing was the news that the great demon mentioned by Bai Yuncang had been resurrected.

The Great Devil, a title that people are almost forgetting, but which fills their hearts with fear whenever they think of it.

In those ancient books, every time a great demon appeared in the world, it was a disaster that caused devastation to all lives.

Torrential rain fell from the sky, the sea submerged the earth, there was a great famine, and people were eating each other. These kinds of horrific legends were always accompanied by the name of the Great Demon and were passed on to each other.

In the ruins of Tianshui Tower, several black-robed elders of the Yulin League surrounded the unconscious Shen Zhui without even looking at him. They were discussing something in a low voice. Among them, two figures avoided their companions and communicated secretly.

"This is troublesome. If the news of the resurrection of the great prince gets out, our martial arts conference will be ruined."

"Yes, if it attracts all the gods, the resurrection of the great king will also go wrong. Then neither you nor I will survive."

"This news must be suppressed!"

"How do we suppress them? There are so many people here, should we kill them all?"

"Of course not. Bai Yuncang just said that he is only here to investigate. Obviously, he is not sure whether the place where the Great Lord was resurrected is Huiyin City."

"So what? Even if he is not sure, as long as there is a certain risk, these scumbags in the martial arts world will not have the courage to stay in Huiyin City."

"This is actually quite simple. We can turn a big thing into a small one and a small thing into nothing. As long as we can prove that the resurrection of the great devil actually refers to another thing, then everything will be fine."

"Oh, Elder Ma has a plan. I'd like to hear more about it."

"Kang Xi said that the followers of the Moruo Cult are still in Huiyin City. We just need to put the blame on Moruo and turn the news of the Great Demon's resurrection into a counterattack by the remnants of Moruo before their death."

"Of course, this matter cannot be too small. I think the followers of Mo Luo must have the flesh and blood of Mo Luo in their hands. It won't be a big problem to make a fake Mo Luo."

"Kang Xi and his men have just captured Zou Si from the East Sea Sword Sect. Zou Si can be used as a flesh and blood possession, and with some sacrifices, a fake Mara can be resurrected."

"Okay! Let's do it this way. The three thousand boys and girls given to Fan Zheng can be used as sacrifices."

The two black-robed elders came up with a countermeasure in a few words, then they looked at Shen Zhui who was lying in the ruins. After a moment of silence, they stopped transmitting messages and spoke directly.

"Elder Huang, you are the leader's man, what do you think we should do with this kid? Should we report it to the leader?"

Elder Huang looked like a middle-aged man with ordinary looks, tall and thin. He looked at Shen Zhui with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, shook his head and smiled.

"No need. His meridians are already damaged. No matter how much natural materials and treasures we use, we can't repair his meridians."

"The Lord Alliance Leader will not waste those treasures on him, and he may be more to the Lord Alliance Leader's liking now. After all, he can still have a few more sons."

"We'll take him home and raise him like a dog, so that others won't say we're heartless."

Hearing this, the other black-robed elders smiled at each other and pointed at Elder Huang.

"Old Huang, you must have disliked this kid for a long time."

Elder Huang did not deny it. He just smiled slightly, leaned down, pinched Shen Zhui's face with his hand, and spoke slowly.

"I'm doing this all for the Lord Alliance Leader. Since this kid is already useless, there's no need to spread the news that he's the Lord Alliance Leader's illegitimate child. He's not worth it anymore."

"It's a good opportunity to clear the alliance leader's name. I will send someone to spread the news tomorrow. After all, it's just a matter of a word."

One person makes words, three people make a tiger.

As long as he is willing to make efforts, Shen Zhui can be the illegitimate son of the alliance leader, or he can be a vain and despicable villain who fabricates the story that he is the illegitimate son of the alliance leader.

That night, Shen Zhui lost his cultivation, his status, and his father.

……

Shi Gu turned into blood mist and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was dressed as a young Taoist priest, walking on the street and squeezing into the crowd.

The crowd was discussing the sudden appearance of the killers, but more were talking about the resurrection of the great demon.

But although many people were discussing this, few took it seriously. Two hundred years without the appearance of a great demon had caused many people to begin to doubt whether there was a great demon in this world.

Shi Gu lowered his head slightly, squeezed one person aside, determined his direction, and took another step.

In any case, the news has already spread, and there is no way that the Great Demon's followers will remain hidden in the dark this time.

Chapter 70: Good and Evil Have No Fruit (I)

The next day, it was dawn.

As the sun rose, a large ship slowly docked at the dock of Huiyin City amidst the noise. A large amount of cargo was unloaded from the ship, and they were all square boxes.

Those boxes looked large, more than half a person's height, but they were not as heavy as imagined. The workers at the dock could even feel something shaking inside the boxes when they were loading and unloading them.

But in the end, these workers did not pursue the matter further because the money they were offered was enough to keep them quiet.

On the big ship, a pale white figure, wearing a long black robe, hid in the shadows, looking at the wooden boxes being unloaded at the dock, and patiently counting them.

After the last wooden box was unloaded, the figure uttered the last number.

"Three thousand...what an auspicious number."

Just as the wind started to blow, a white bird swooped down from the sky, passed through the clouds, and flew into the bustling city below.

The streets of Huiyin City are still bustling with traffic and people are talking at the stalls everywhere, all of them are discussing what happened last night.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Although Bai Yuncang has an ordinary appearance, he has a sense of pride and the strength to back it up."

"Shen Zhui from Yulin League knows that Bai Yuncang beats him like a game. He suppresses him with his sword and walks leisurely in the garden. Every sword strike is casual, but Shen Zhui can't block it."

"The difference in strength between the two is huge. When everyone was praising Shen Zhui, you and I were just looking at the world from a well."

"From what you said, that Bai Yuncang is indeed powerful, but I also heard that Bai Yuncang also said something about the resurrection of the great demon. Is this true or false?"

"He did say so, but what are you afraid of? I've heard that the leaders of the five major sects are going to meet in Huiyin City."

"What you said, the leaders of the five major sects probably can't stop the big demon."

"The five major sects can't stop the big demon, but the people they know can. Maybe they can pull in a famous Xiantian immortal."

"Besides, we don't know whether the news of the great demon's resurrection is true or not. Even when Bai Yuncang mentioned it, he only said it was possible. Let's wait and see for a few days. If the situation is not right, we will run away."

"I heard that some people are planning to leave Huiyin City. They are so timid."

The discussions in the teahouse continued, but Kang Xi, who was in the corner, put down his tea bowl, deposited a few copper coins, and turned to leave.

Kang Xi was wearing casual clothes, his face was slightly pale, and he strode in the sunshine. But in the blink of an eye, he walked into the shadow of the street corner and disappeared.

……

Somewhere in Huiyin City, shrouded in darkness and filled with an eerie aura, it was a place that looked like a palace.

Kang Xi walked in the darkness, passing through the long corridor. In this gloomy palace, there were ponds and gardens. However, in the pond now, there was only large patches of blood and flesh mud, and white maggots were swimming in it.

The so-called garden was actually filled with bones. White hand bones were inserted into the black soil, with the tops of the palms stretched out like blooming flowers, which made people feel cold.

Kang Xi walked through the corridor and came to a room. There was a candle lit in the room, which was rare, but it was emitting a strange green light.

The candlelight flickered, and a white figure sat cross-legged with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and holding a long sword in his arms. It was the missing Zou Si.

When Zou Si heard the footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously wanted to draw her sword. However, as soon as she moved, a green light appeared on her limbs.

The green light formed a chain that locked her limbs tightly, and would appear once she moved.

Zou Si's face turned pale and he sat back down, holding his sword. He blinked his eyes as pure as water and looked quietly at Kang Xi who walked into the palace.

Kang Xi looked at Zou Si and frowned slightly. He didn't like Zou Si's eyes. They were clean, bright, and pure, and always reminded him of his past self.

After a moment's silence, Zou Si asked Kang Xi calmly.

"Are you here to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Kang Xi slowly walked up to Zou Si and said calmly.

"It should be like this. After that Qingcheng Shigu was dealt with, you are no longer useful. You have to be used as blood food to feed the zombies under my command."

"But you're in luck. There was a small change in plans, so you can live a little longer."

Hearing this, Zou Si's expression remained calm, as if she didn't care about her life or death. She hugged the sword tightly in her arms and spoke seriously.

"I don't like taking baths, so this probably won't taste good."

Kang Xi heard this and replied softly.

"It's okay. Zombies like strong smells."

Zou Si frowned and said in a low voice.

“I hate people who aren’t picky eaters.”

Kang Xi glanced at Zou Si and explained seriously.

"We are not human beings, but just a bunch of moving corpses."

Zou Si tilted his head slightly, but skipped the topic, looking carefully at Kang Xi's face, not hiding the confusion in his eyes.

"Coccyx knife, Kang Xi."

"I heard your stories when I was a child."

Kang Xi's eyes flickered and he wanted to avoid the topic, but in the end he couldn't help but sit cross-legged in front of Zou Si and asked softly.

“What do I look like in the story?”

Zou Si lowered his eyebrows and looked at the ground, but his voice became a little low.

"My master said that you are a hero who hates evil and travels the world with a sword."

"He punishes evil and promotes good, he helps the weak and he is a truly good person."

"But now it seems that my master has deceived me again."

Hearing this, Kang Xi looked dazed and his eyes were dim. He clenched the bone knife in his hand, then slowly loosened it, and spoke slowly with a relieved expression.

"People always have to change, not to mention that I am a dead person."

Zou Si raised her head and looked at Kang Xi, the chivalrous hero in this story. She frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Senior...why did you become like this?"

Kang Xi sighed, feeling somewhat desolate and lonely, and spoke in a low voice.

"Maybe, I just figured it out."

Zou Si was relentless and continued to ask.

"You figured out something."
