There was an excited roar of the demon clan behind him, it was a catharsis after surviving, but it seemed like a great irony to the Dao disciples, they were retreating, but their ears could not hear or hear.

No one asked the fellow Xingluo Daoists about it, it happened too suddenly, and more than a dozen Xingluo Daoists were also at a loss.

The Divine Daoists would definitely not ask to withdraw for no reason, this time they just stood too high and saw too far, and even the Starfall Daoist who was only one level below them couldn't keep up.

The three-way team of the Dao Tong reunited at a distance of tens of miles, and here they received further orders: continue to retreat until they completely withdraw from the land of the demons. In other words, this large-scale operation to slay demons and demons is over, and as for the reason, the Taoist priests have been given the explanation that they should not be cranky, and that they will get the explanation from the grandmaster after returning to their respective Taoist systems.

It would be more than twenty days later, and the strongest of the Dao hearts felt a little impatient.

Shen Hao was one of the most impatient people, because he cared about the fate of Mu Xingqiu and the others, wanted to know if his good friend had become a demon, and because he was the leader of the Demon Slaying Society, many people did not dare to open his mouth to the high Taoist, but they all asked him endlessly.

"You said on the battlefield that Mu Xingqiu didn't turn into a demon, did the Taoist priests hear it?"

"Didn't the Starfall Daoist reveal a little bit to you?"

"Is the Demon Slaying Society still independent or not, why do we have to obey the orders of the High Daoist to withdraw from the Land of the Demons?"

......

Shen Hao couldn't answer any of them, he endured it for three days, three full days, and then he went to see Shen Jixian, the head of the Five Elements Sect, "I want to see the Divine Daoist, I must get an explanation immediately, otherwise I will order the Demon Slayer to stop retreating." ”

This was the first rest in the days since the withdrawal of troops, and Dao Tong set up camp in a demon village that had just been destroyed, and by the way, eradicated the remaining monsters in the area.

Shen Jixian stood alone outside the village, as if he had expected that Shen Hao would come to him. His expression was more stern than ever, "The Demon Slaying Society has nominally withdrawn from the Dao system, but how many people do you think will disobey the orders of the High Daoist because of your words?"

Shen Hao suddenly remembered Mu Xingqiu's reminder, he said that the biggest problem of the Demon Slaying Society was that it was difficult to gain true independence, Shen Hao believed in this judgment, but he didn't expect the interference to come so quickly and so thoroughly.

"There weren't many of them. Shen Hao admitted that his influence on the members of the Demon Slaying Society was not as strong as that of the Dao Tong, "But even if it was just me, I would stop advancing, and the low-level Daoists would follow you, but the doubts in their hearts would be even stronger." ”

This is nothing short of a public threat. Shen Jixian didn't get annoyed, but showed a smile, "It seems that you are serious, okay, I will pass on your request to the Taoist priest, maybe you will get an explanation before me." ”

"Thank you. Shen Hao was a little embarrassed, Shen Jixian was the first seat, and he was also kept in the dark, but Shen Hao had no choice. He couldn't contact the Grandmaster or other Divine Daoists at all, so he could only pass the word through Guò Shen Jixian.

The attention of the Taoist priest to this "threat" exceeded Shen Hao's expectations, and he was summoned around the third watch that night. It's a dream, to be precise.

Taoist priests rarely dreamed, and Shen Hao was sitting quietly in his tent at the time, and fell asleep unconsciously. At this time, a strange Taoist priest walked in and beckoned to him. Shen Hao got up and followed, he knew it was a dream. I also knew that this dream was controlled by others, but I didn't feel frightened at all, but my heart was very down-to-earth.

The outside of the tent was not much different from the real scene, the caves of the demon clan had been sealed, and a large number of useless utensils were piled up in the middle of the camp, wrapped in the fire of the five elements, burning wantonly.

There was a Taoist priest standing near the bonfire, and Shen Hao looked at it and recognized it as Yang Yannian, the grandmaster of Pangshan

The Taoist priest who summoned Shen Hao out of the tent disappeared.

Shen Hao hurriedly walked over, feeling a trace of trepidation even in his dream, after all, not every Taoist priest can be summoned by the sect master alone, not to mention that he had also said some disrespectful words in front of the first seat.

Shen Hao was just about to salute, but Yang Yannian raised his hand to stop it, and then pointed to the bonfire not far ahead, "The fire of the five elements can destroy monsters and remove unclean qi, but after more than 100,000 years, unclean qi still occupies most of the entire world." ”

"But the Dao system and the human race have the best part of the world, even in the frontier, there is fertile land and good seasons, unlike the land of demons, often not a single living creature can be seen within hundreds of miles. ”

Yang Yannian smiled, "But the demon clan is here to survive, and it will grow every once in a while, bringing big trouble to the Dao system. The Grandmaster put away his smile and said, "When Old Ancestor Peak was attacked by the Demon Clan, you were on the scene and told me what the disciples of Pang Shan did?"

Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the grandmaster to ask about the old things from a few years ago, and pondered for a moment, "The vast majority of disciples bravely kill demons, live and die with Old Ancestor Peak, and never bow to the Demon Clan, a few disciples, including me, followed the first seat of the Forbidden Secret Department to leave Old Ancestor Peak and take refuge in Broken Flow City." ”

"Martyrdom or evacuation, which do you think is the wiser choice?"

"There is no so-called wise choice, if everyone is martyred in the Old Ancestor Peak, the Ancestor Pagoda will fall into the hands of the demon clan, causing a catastrophe; ”

Yang Yannian nodded, obviously very satisfied with Shen Hao's answer, "Cultivators have a form and a god, and the same is true for the Dao system, the Patriarch Pagoda is the shape of Pang Mountain, and the inheritance and belief of the disciples are the God of Pang Mountain. ”

Shen Hao began to understand what the sect master meant, "Is it the form or the god that is protecting the troops this time?"

"God. ”

Shen Hao was stunned again, because in his opinion, it was precisely the pride and belief of the Daoist disciples that this withdrawal had destroyed.

"Zuo Liuying is a great Taoist priest. Yang Yanqing sighed, "But his ideas are often too unique. ”

"I've seen it, for example, there are so many disciples guarding the Old Ancestor Peak, and he only took a group of breath-inhaling Daoists, for example, he went to Ranjing Mountain to rescue the previous Grandmaster, but he almost opened up a void passage to let the demons in. ”

"Well, that's right, but those practices are still within the scope of the Dao system's permission and acceptance, but since confirming that he had encountered the Sigh Tribulation, Zuo Liuying's thoughts have begun to go out of line. ”

Sighing tribulation is a Taoist tribulation that all Taoist priests will experience sooner or later, the Tao is boundless and manpower is limited, after endless years of climbing, the most powerful and purest Taoist priest will also feel tired, fatigue accumulates day by day, and will eventually erupt, so that the Taoist priest can no longer improve the realm, he can continue to think, continue to work hard, but he can't move forward half a step.

There has never been a Taoist priest who has passed the sighing tribulation, and Zuo Liuying wants to give it a try.

"Zuo Liuying wants to use Mu Xingqiu and that group of demon invasion Taoist priests to survive the calamity?" Shen Hao was taken aback.

"It's even more unique than that, as you'll know later, the key is that Zuo Liuying persuaded us. Yang Yannian didn't say any more, but stared at the bonfire, as if there was an important secret hidden inside.

Shen Hao waited for a while, feeling that this conversation was not over, so he asked in a low voice, "Did Zuo Liuying persuade the Daoist priest not to kill Mu Xingqiu?"

"If you experience another crisis in Old Ancestor Peak, do you choose to evacuate or be martyred?" Yang Yannian suddenly changed the subject.

Shen Hao's thoughts were a little confused, he had never thought about this question, "Evacuate, I still choose to evacuate." ”

"Why?"

"Because it was a sneak attack, the demon clan occupied the right time and place, and only after evacuating can the battlefield that is beneficial to the Dao system be reselected, and-" Shen Hao knew that there was no need to hide his true views in front of the grandmaster, and he couldn't hide it, "I can understand the importance and necessity of evacuation, I won't fall into remorse, I can fight back." ”

Yang Yannian nodded again, "The time for the arrival of the demon clan is likely to be earlier than any previous prediction, and for the entire Dao system, this is an Ancestor Peak crisis. ”

Shen Hao shook his head, unable to believe his ears, "What does the Grandmaster mean...... Some Taoist priests are going to evacuate before the demons arrive? Who will evacuate? Where will they evacuate?"

"It's not a part, it's all the Taoist priests, we have our own arrangements for where to go. ”

Shen Hao began to feel that this was really just a dream, "But the demon ...... And the whole world of human ......"

"Didn't you have a similar idea when you were at Old Ancestor Peak? Instead of letting the Dao Tong wait for the demon race with anxiety, why don't you leave this apprehension to the demon race? Human beings will always reviverate, 130,000 years ago, human beings were just an inconspicuous race, but now they occupy some of the best land in the world, a hundred times or a thousand times more than the demon race. In another 130,000 years, the human race will only be more prosperous than it is today, because when the Dao system returns to the world, it will no longer let the demon seed hide in the void. This is not an expectation for me alone, but a reality that is forming. ”

Shen Hao's mind became even more confused, and he couldn't tell if this was really the Grandmaster's dream, or an illusion of his own, he thought that he needed a little time to understand the Grandmaster's plan, so he turned to ask about other things, "But what does this have to do with this withdrawal?"

Zuo Liuying reminded us that if someone evacuates this world, someone must be martyred for this world, and he is willing to be a martyr, and he also guarantees that Mu Xingqiu and others will follow him. He had a few other reasons, but this one was the most important. ”

Shen Hao felt as if he had been punched hard, his head was dizzy, and everything in front of him was shaking upside down, "Why...... Why is the Grandmaster willing to tell me the truth?"

"As you said, you can understand the importance and necessity of evacuation, we need you to convince the low-level Taoists, this is very important for the entire evacuation plan, not now, but later. ”

Yang Yannian raised his right hand and pressed it on Shen Hao's shoulder, and in his dream, he looked twice as tall, like an adult standing in front of a four or five-year-old child, "You will have a bright future." ”

Shen Hao didn't break free of the grandmaster's palm, he had a premonition that the dream was about to end, because the grandmaster's appearance began to be distorted, so he hurriedly asked the last question, "Did Xiaoqiu really become a demon?"

Did the Grandmaster answer? How did you answer? Shen Hao was not impressed at all, he woke up in a cold sweat.
