Even the usually Buddhist Yin-Yang Taoist had a gloomy expression at this moment, and his spiritual power became slightly restless.

Xiao Wuyou finally understood everything now.

Most of the independent cultivators have no grudges against the demons. No matter how many demons they kill, they will not be rewarded by the sect. They just take sides for the sake of taking sides.

Yes, the righteous forces do have the upper hand, but they are not to the point of crushing the evil forces. In the end, people will die in a war.

Now that the war situation has stabilized and there are obviously more reliable strategies to deal with the enemy, they are naturally unwilling to shed unnecessary blood.

Fortunately, Chisha Luohan was not a hot-blooded and reckless man. He saw the dissatisfaction of Yin Yang Daojun and softened his tone a little: "I know your opinion."

Then he turned around and once again cast his gaze on Xiao Wuyou: "But the demons are coming, we really can't just ignore it, please let Master Xiao make the decision."

After these words were spoken, everyone calmed down and waited for Xiao Wuyou to make the final decision.

Well, after going around in circles, I’m finally back here!

Xiao Wuyou felt like cursing.

From a personal point of view, he stands on the side of Yin Yang Taoist, defending Linjiang City and living a happy life, which saves time, effort and is safe.

But right now, the fighting spirit of the righteous side is high, and each of them is as fierce as if they had been injected with chicken blood. It is obvious that he cannot control himself.

Especially since he represented the Juejian Sect, if he did not follow their wishes, it would probably make the righteous even more dissatisfied.

However, Xiao Wuyou is already accustomed to dealing with such difficult problems.

Compared with the Shura field of the sons of luck, it is far worse!

Xiao Wuyou sighed first: "What you all said makes sense."

Just as everyone was concentrating and waiting for his decision, Xiao Wuyou changed the subject and said, "However, my experience is limited. I'd better ask a respected senior to share his insights."

So, Xiao Wuyou's gaze was directed straight at the old woman who had been silent in the crowd!

The old woman was dressed in a dark Taoist robe. She seemed unknown, but like a cumulonimbus cloud, she accumulated a powerful aura in her silence.

The long gray hair covers half of his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression, but the remaining eye is full of vicissitudes and wisdom left by the years!

She is the scapegoat chosen by Xiao Wuyou, the elder of Lingshou Manor, Old Lady Xiao!

Xiao Wuyou has attended so many occasions that he has already recognized all the people he should recognize.

This person is the one with the highest cultivation and seniority among the cultivators from the four major sects who are responsible for staying behind. Like Chisha Arhat, he is a 'family member' left behind by the four major sect masters.

Of course, this hot potato should be left to our own people to solve.

No matter what happens to you guys, I, Xiao Wuyou, will never take the blame. I will just hold the little witch tightly and watch the show!

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xiao smiled faintly, as if she had been prepared.

"In fact, we can find a compromise."

No matter they were powerful men from the righteous ways or independent cultivators, they all had a sense of awe towards him and waited patiently for the opinion of the elder of the Spirit Beast Manor.

"We don't have to fight the demons head-on. Instead, we can use our numbers and terrain to ambush the city in advance and try to minimize the damage!"

After Old Lady Xiao said this, none of the monks present objected.

She looked at Yin Yang Taoist quietly, and the corners of her dry mouth squeezed out a peaceful and polite smile: "Are you satisfied, Mr. Yin Yang?"

These words seemed to be addressed to the Taoist Master Yin Yang, but in fact, they were addressed to all the independent cultivators present.

However, Yin Yang Taoist was not speaking for the independent cultivators, but actually wanted to figure out Xiao Wuyou's intention.

It was obvious that Xiao Wuyou had not made any decision yet, so he had no choice but to agree: "Senior, what you said is absolutely right."

Although lying in ambush is not as efficient and satisfying as confronting the enemy head-on, due to the identity of Old Lady Xiao, the righteous people had no objection.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuyou finally nodded contentedly: "Let's do as you wish, senior."

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly added: "Wait a minute, Wuyou, to ambush the demons, we need a helper."

"Please feel free to speak, senior." Xiao Wuyou smiled. As long as you don't mention my name, let alone just one person, it doesn't matter if you pull everyone present over!

It was not until the other party looked towards him that Xiao Wuyou realized the seriousness of the problem.

The old lady Xiao had an extremely peaceful smile on her face: "The former Saint of the Demonic Path, Ye Qingmeng, please help us to eliminate demons and defend the Way!"

Chapter 46: Who is without fault?

-------------------

Under the table, Xiao Wuyou quietly held Ye Qingmeng's fingertips.

"Do you need me to help you refuse?" Xiao Wuyou confirmed through voice transmission.

But the black-haired girl just smiled faintly and shook his hand back firmly, showing no sign of wavering.

"No, it suits me just fine."

Seeing the firm determination in those deep and beautiful eyes, Xiao Wuyou knew that the other party had made up her mind and stopped trying to persuade her.

It seems that this little witch is still unwilling to live under someone else's roof.

The more she cooperates with the right path and proves her own worth, the less criticism she will receive, and the sooner she will be able to escape the right path's supervision and regain her freedom.

"Of course, if the senior has any request, I will do my best to help." Ye Qingmeng looked back at Old Lady Xiao and gave his answer politely without being humble or arrogant.

Unfortunately, her answer was destined not to satisfy everyone.

"Senior, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Now that the situation of the righteous sect has been settled, do we really need the help of the evil sect?"

"Once a demon, always a demon. Who can tell whether this guy is a demon or not?"

"That's right, the expeditionary force from the Red Maple Valley was ambushed by the Guidu Sect because of Ye Qingmeng's presence! This needs to be investigated in detail!"

The voices of opposition grew louder and louder. Except for those cultivators who had been in the same pair with Ye Qingmeng, most cultivators had an undisguised disgust towards the demon cultivators.

It would be fine if it was other cultivators, as there were many great masters who had reached the stage of transformation of spirits present. They did not take Ye Qingmeng seriously in the first place, and they hated the evil path deeply.

If it weren't for the guarantee from the four major righteous sects, Ye Qingmeng, a demon cultivator, would never have been able to appear in front of them alive.

"Everyone, listen to me. Miss Ye previously provided intelligence on many demon cultivators and helped defeat the leader of the Guidu Sect. She also had a share of the credit..."

Yin Yang Taoist tried to defend Ye Qingmeng, but unfortunately, he was only met with laughter.

"Why, without the help of that young man, you can't even deal with Tang Moyou and the like?"

Old Lady Xiao frowned slightly and said solemnly: "Don't be anxious, Miss Ye has turned over a new leaf and has drawn a clear line between herself and the evil ways."

The identity of the elder of Lingshou Manor did suppress the voices of many people, but the doubts and hostility in the eyes of the cultivators towards Ye Qingmeng did not diminish in the slightest.

Chisha Arhat even retorted at this time: "Once a demon, always a demon."

"Who can guarantee that this woman is not a witch who is bewitching people?"

Even Ye Qingmeng's face turned gloomy at this moment, and she bit her lips unwillingly.

Although she had attained absolute enlightenment from the beginning, she was still powerless when faced with the malicious intent of the righteous people.

Even the cooperation in fighting against demons was rejected like this. Could she really be accepted as Xiao Wuyou's Taoist partner?

The girl peeked at the expression of the person next to her, and the other person's profile was as flawless as usual.

But at this moment, it seemed so far away to her.

The path of evil is, after all, the path of evil. Being by Xiao Wuyou's side, I might be like ink splashed on the snow-white felt cloth, which would only tarnish his figure.

Feeling the subtle pressure from those powerful beings, Ye Qingmeng's pale lips finally trembled slowly.

"If you seniors don't believe me, then I..."

Just when Ye Qingmeng was about to give up, unexpectedly, Xiao Wuyou openly embraced her in his arms in front of a group of powerful people.

The black-haired girl was stunned, and all the powerful people in the audience were also stunned. For a moment, one could hear a pin drop in the entire city lord's mansion.

"Since you don't trust her, let me supervise her." Xiao Wuyou ignored those perhaps surprised or puzzled gazes and said lightly.

"Master Xiao, what does this mean?" Chisha Arhat couldn't help but frowned deeply.

He was indeed entrusted by the four sect leaders to take care of Xiao Wuyou, but such a ridiculous scene made him doubt whether Xiao Wuyou was trustworthy.

Not only Chisha Arhat, but most of the righteous people had deep worries.

Rumor has it that Xiao Wuyou's only weakness is his love for women, and that he has an ambiguous relationship with Ye Qingmeng in private. Now that he is speaking for this evil woman, it's hard not to doubt whether he has been bewitched or not!

However, Xiao Wuyou just said calmly: "Don't you suspect her? I will be with her for 12 hours a day, not even a step away, to supervise her. Shouldn't you feel relieved?"

"Or do you just don't trust me?" Xiao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in his pupils, and his smile was subtle.

At this moment, all the righteous people looked at each other, and no one objected anymore.

It’s so strange that Xiao Wuyou, who has always been humble, is so tough for this witch.

Not to mention believing it, the great men of the righteous path, including Chisha Luohan, were even more doubtful than before, wondering if Xiao Wuyou had really been bewitched by the witch!

Chisha Luohan sighed and softened his tone: "Master Xiao, we have no intention of disrespecting you, but the evil witch has extraordinary means, please think twice..."

But Xiao Wuyou didn't appreciate it at all. He impatiently put his fingertips on the table and interrupted the other party's suggestion.

"First of all, Ye Qingmeng is not a witch."

"Secondly, her cultivation level is only at the Divine Transformation level. I know exactly what she is capable of."

"Finally, if Ye Qingmeng is really involved with the devil, I will take the responsibility. Everyone, please take your own responsibilities first."

The cold and indifferent words echoed in the City Lord's Mansion.

The next moment, all of this disappeared like an illusion, and Xiao Wuyou regained his gentle smile like the spring breeze in February, but his words were even colder than before.

"If anything goes wrong, I will apologize to my master, so you don't have to worry about me."

Xiao Wuyou has always been very easy-going and never oppressed others, making them unknowingly forget that the other party is the number one genius of the righteous path and the direct disciple of the Longyue Sword Immortal.

Even if he was really bewitched by the witch, committed a heinous crime, and missed the opportunity to fight, it was not their turn to blame him.

"......I understand." Chisha Luohan had a complicated expression, quite disappointed.

At this time, Yin Yang Dao Jun clapped his hands and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Since Lord Xiao has guaranteed Miss Ye, we don't have to worry, right?"

"Anyway, it's his own decision." Chisha Luohan said sullenly, then turned and left.

Except for Chisha Arhat who left unhappily, the remaining monks, although dissatisfied, were too embarrassed to say anything more.

They have a background and can do whatever they want. What can they do?

After the meeting was over, all the righteous people finally expressed their pent-up feelings after leaving the venue.

"Could it be that Xiao Wuyou is really obsessed with that witch?"

"Alas, you are still too young. You missed the big thing because of a woman!"

"Why should we care about him? If he wants to believe that witch, it's his own fault. We can't do anything about it!"

"However, everyone makes mistakes, and Xiao Wuyou is not a perfect person after all."

Ever since Xiao Wuyou left Wuyou Peak to participate in the sword-drawing trial, he has had almost no failures or scandals.

But precisely because of this, once there is a stain on him, it is more glaring than on others.

It is really sad that the number one genius of the righteous path actually took advantage of his power to bully others for the sake of a demon woman. It shattered the perfect image of him as a banished immortal in the minds of countless cultivators.

Chapter 47 Something is wrong

-------------------

"You don't have to do this."

After the meeting was over, when only Xiao Wuyou and a few sons of luck were left in the entire City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qingmeng finally couldn't help but sighed to Xiao Wuyou.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Wuyou touched the soft hand under the table restlessly.

But Ye Qingmeng stood up and stared at him, eyes filled with a hint of sadness, and said earnestly: "I am a demon after all, but you are different. If you speak for me, you will only be ostracized by them."

"I should have stopped you." Having said that, Ye Qingmeng held his forehead in distress and sighed softly.

Because of me, Xiao Wuyou's prestige was seriously affected and there was a stain that should not have existed.

But as the person involved, Xiao Wuyou seemed casual: "I don't care what they think of me."

"You should care!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingmeng became furious and slammed the table, glaring at Xiao Wuyou even more harshly than usual.

But the next second, the slender white wrist was grabbed by Xiao Wuyou.

"I only care about you."
