Chapter 178: I Don't Regret It
Yinxu didn't allow Duan Qing to make a move, and also told one of the nine-tailed silver foxes to help watch Duan Qing and not allow Duan Qing to 'mess up'.
After arranging this, Yinxu led the other demon foxes to deal with the group of demon slayer masters who were coming here.
When Duan Qing saw this situation, he wanted to go with him, but this nine-tailed silver fox who was arranged by Yinxu to stare at Duan Qing was not an easy horn to deal with, and he insisted on pestering Duan Qing, just not letting Duan Qing get rid of him smoothly.
I had no choice but to obediently follow Yinxu's words first, and stay where I was and not 'mess' around.
The nine-tailed silver fox saw that Duan Qing had finally settled down, so he took advantage of the time when there was no one around: "Duan Qing, I want to ask you a word, was Cang Hei killed by you?!" β
Duan Qing had just sat on the grass under the big tree, and when he heard the words of the nine-tailed silver fox, he was a little stunned: "What did you say?" β
"Canghe! A nine-tailed silver fox named Cangji! Don't say you don't know! The nine-tailed silver fox suddenly became a little 'agitated', and these words were obviously held back for a long time before they finally came out, "I followed his demonic energy to find the last place where he disappeared, where there is the smell of your spiritual power!" β
"I remember that he was with a few demon clans at the time, and they all disappeared in that forest like him, and never reappeared!" The nine-tailed silver fox said 'excitedly' while slowly approaching the relationship, "You say! Did you kill Cangji?! Kill everyone?! β
Facing the questioning of this nine-tailed silver fox, Duan Qing thought for a while in a daze before remembering that when he acted with Chu Yi and Guo 'Yu' Jie to rescue Wan Tianming before, he did encounter a group of demon clans on the way, and then there was a nine-tailed silver fox named Cang Si.
So Duan Qing's face suddenly became a little bad, he didn't expect that this matter would be found by the nine-tailed silver fox after all.
"Canghe, he...... It's true that I killed ......," Duan Qing admitted honestly in a heavy tone, "At that time, they were entangled with us, and I repeatedly stated that I didn't want to be their enemy, but they didn't listen to the persuasion and kept taking the initiative to attack us, so I had to take action......"
When the nine-tailed silver fox heard Duan Qing's words, he couldn't help but grit his teeth with red eyes and said, "How can you?!" How can you kill him?! β
"At that time, the situation was urgent, we had urgent matters to deal with, and they kept chasing us. If I hadn't done it, there would have been other demon slayers present at the time, and they wouldn't have let them go. Duan Qing frowned and replied, "As the demon slayer of the Duan clan, I also have the principle that I have to do it, please forgive me." β
"Canghe, he's just here to save his child! That's why I specially came to the human world to cultivate and absorb the 'essence' of the sun and the moon! The nine-tailed silver fox couldn't help but cry out sadly, "His newborn child still didn't survive after all, just because you killed him, so that he didn't have time to refine the absorbed sun and moon 'essence' into an inner pill and then transfer it to the child's body!" β
didn't expect that there was such a story behind this, and Duan Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
"And Cangji is the cousin and younger brother of Lord Yinxu, and that child is also the nephew of Lord Yinxu! How could you kill their father and son like this! The nine-tailed silver fox had already begun to choke when he said the back.
"I'm sorry......" Duan Qing really didn't have anything else to say besides saying this.
At that time, only the three of them knew about the situation, and the other demon clans who knew about it had been killed by him, and how could these nine-tailed silver foxes easily believe the words of humans, so it was useless for him to say anything more.
"What's the use of apologizing?! Apologize, my brother won't live again! The nine-tailed silver fox scolded bitterly, "If it weren't for Lord Yinxu's sake, I would never let you go!" β
"Your brother?" Duan Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he instantly understood why this nine-tailed silver fox was so 'excited'.
"That's right! Canghe, he's my brother-in-law! His spouse died in childbirth because of giving birth, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to save his child in the end, and he would put his own 'life' on the line! The more the nine-tailed silver fox spoke, the more 'excited' he became sad, "In just a few days, the family of three has all died!" β
"Then why didn't you ask Yinxu for help at that time?" Duan Qing immediately asked, "With Yinxu's ability, with just a life-saving Neidan, he can still refine it for that child!" β
"Who do you think we are Lady Silverch?! Is it a doctor who casually treats people?! Do you think he has such free time to refine Neidan for a newborn child?! This nine-tailed silver fox only felt that Duan Qing's words were too naΓ―ve, "Our Lord Yinxu is in charge of all the demon foxes in the demon world and the human world, do you really think he is idle and has nothing to do?!" All the time he spends with you, that's all in exchange for working overtime! β
Hearing the words of this nine-tailed silver fox, Duan Qing always felt that he really didn't know enough about Yinxu, and he didn't even know that there was such a thing.
"What's your name?" Duan Qing suddenly asked.
"Cangli!" The nine-tailed silver fox named Cangli replied in a vicious tone.
"Cangli, about your brother Canghei, I can only say that I feel very sorry and regretful, if you really want to settle accounts with me for revenge, I will face you at any time." Duan Qing said in a solemn tone, "It's just that I hope you can let go of this hatred and then think about living on the good side, otherwise it will only be you who will regret it in the end, not me." β
"You ,,!!!" Cangli was so relieved by Duan Qing's words that he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.
"I don't regret killing Canghei, because that's my duty." Duan Qing continued, "Even if I do it all over again, I will still do it like that. It's impossible for me to waver and change my position because of Yinxu's relationship, or because I've degenerated into a half-demon relationship. I can tell you with certainty that I will always be the demon slayer of the Duan clan, and this will not change until I die. β
Cang Li looked at the resoluteness and decisiveness in Duan Qing's eyes, and knew that what he said was true.
"Aren't you afraid that Lord Yinxu will hate and hate you if he knows that you killed Canghei?" Cang Li couldn't help but ask, "I haven't told Lord Yinxu about this, and he doesn't know the fact that Cang Hei died at your hands. β
Yinxu has always been known for protecting his shortcomings, and anyone who dares to hurt his people casually will not end well.
Duan Qing is also very aware of this, Yinxu is indeed very protective of his own kind.
However, even so, his eyes were still very determined: "If Yinxu hates and hates me because of this matter, then I can only say that this is the destined result of the two of us." β
He would never completely abandon the principle of a demon slayer because of Yinxu's relationship.
