An incident that happened in the demon soldier's stronghold could not have been clearer than to show that reconciliation between humans and demons was impossible.

Most of the demon soldiers left the stronghold to watch the fighting, and the demon soldiers left in the camp were no more than a hundred, basically ordinary banshees, but at the same time, there were more than a thousand human slaves who were imprisoned, and a few slaves were released to clean the camp at dawn, and they saw the dense dark clouds and beams of light rising from the sky above the valley from afar.

The humans couldn't tell which side these spells belonged to, it was the panicked demon soldiers who leaked the results of the fight, and the news of the "Holy Cloud Fiasco" quickly turned into "The Demon Cloud Fiasco", and the slaves who cleaned the camp communicated with each other with their eyes, and at the same time began to resist, and released all the imprisoned slaves. A small number of banshee soldiers were caught off guard, and although they killed some slaves, they were eventually outnumbered, and all of them were killed, and the watchtowers and caves in the stronghold were also set on fire.

When Mu Xingqiu and the others returned, a large stronghold of the demon soldiers in the northeast had been destroyed in a sea of fire, and nearly a thousand human slaves were happily guarding the gate, waiting for the rescuers to take them out of the territory of the demon clan.

There was no such thing as saving human slaves in all the Taoist priests' plans, they originally planned to take only a few people to leave Xijie Country quickly, gather the forces of various Taoist families, regain the lost territory in one fell swoop, and then rescue all the human beings captured by the demon clan, but they didn't expect that suddenly there would be more of these burdens, and some of them were still women, children, old and weak.

Xin Youtao was the prince of Xijie, so he led Ouyang Li and Deng Xian to pacify the slaves, and the Taoist priests stopped far away to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Suqin of Chaojing Mountain had a premonition that Mu Xingqiu was going to meddle in things again, according to her thoughts, there was no need to meet these mortals at all, appeasement would produce sympathy, and sympathy would lead to responsibility. So she was the first to speak, "We must leave immediately, there are many reasons, the most important one is that the demon clan is not credible, the demon cloud envoy escapes, and soon brings more demon soldiers, I don't think you can defeat hundreds or thousands of demon magicians on your own, right?"

Mu Xingqiu, who was asked, shook his head, of course he didn't have this kind of ability, the Demon Cloud Envoy would never be the strongest person in the Demon Clan, and their promise to admit defeat would not be binding on the entire Demon Clan. Soon more and stronger sorcerers will pounce, and it will not be easy for Taoist priests to escape from danger, let alone lead so many mortals?

"There are no less than 100,000 human beings captured by the demon clan, these people are only a very small minority, the information we have collected is enough, the most important task is to get in touch with the various Taoist families as much as possible, and form an army with the participation of high-level Taoist priests, when the time comes, the Taoist will save everyone, not just some people. Zhang Suqin paused slightly. "Allow me to tell you the truth, now it seems that the Demon Slaying Society is just a joke, with only a few hundred low-level Taoist priests. It's not an opponent of the demon clan at all. We are from various Taoist families, and we should explain this matter to the senior Taoist priests together, they can't stay out of it anymore, and it is very important to fight against the demons. But if you want to prepare for the battle of exterminating demons with peace of mind, you must first eradicate the demon clan. ”

Zhang Suqin said what everyone thought together, and no one objected. But she knew that she had not yet persuaded Mu Xingqiu, and the casual words of this Taoist priest who had withdrawn from Pang Mountain at this time were more effective than her own tirade, she turned to Feng Dongchen of Wandi Mountain, "What do Feng Daoyou think?"

Feng Dongchen has been silent since he was rescued, and the cold and arrogant when they first met disappeared, "First, there are still ten Taoist priests in the hands of the demon clan, I would rather the demon cloud make a letter and be able to send them back." Second, the catechumen saved me once, and I listened to his arrangement before returning the favor. ”

The person Mu Xingqiu saved was not only Feng Dongchen, but also the three female Taoist priests in Chaojing Mountain who were also rescued by him, Zhang Suqin's tone softened, "I agree with your move to let go of the demon soldiers, we are Taoist priests, and we have to be fair and honest to kill demons, and the appearance of that group of demon soldiers also surprised me a little, maybe they can also show a little magnanimity and forgiveness, and let this group of humans go for the time being." ”

This can only be Zhang Suqin's wishful thinking, the human slaves killed all the guards in the stronghold, and it is impossible for the demon soldiers not to retaliate.

Shen Ji suddenly pointed to the northwest sky, "The Taoist priest is back." ”

The six surviving Demon Cloud Envoys really kept their promise before the fighting method and released the remaining ten captives.

Ten Taoist priests did not have magic weapons, and flew in the air with pure mana to expel unclean qi, and when they saw the Taoist priest on the ground from afar, they immediately flew over.

Wandi Mountain Taoist Yang Chun was excited, and as soon as he landed, he gave Feng Dongchen a gift of Taoism, "Thank you Feng Daoyou and Zhang Daoyou for saving your life, the demon clan is strong and middle-class, and it is really fair to fight, how can it be the opponent of Xingluo Daoist?"

The other Taoist priests also saluted Feng Dongchen and Zhang Suqin, they didn't know the details of the fighting method, but they just speculated according to normal thinking that it must be the two Xingluo Daoists who defeated the demon cloud and forced the demon clan to release themselves, and the others just cooperated.

Zhang Suqin hummed coldly, turned sideways, and did not accept the gifts of the Taoist priests, Feng Dongchen pointed at Mu Xingqiu, "You all have to thank him, all of us have to thank him, it was he who defeated the seven demon cloud envoys, and we just helped a little." ”

The Taoist priests who were released were stunned and felt that this was incredible.

After a moment of silence, Yashan Daoist Liao Huayuan shook his head and blurted out: "Impossible, I saw him being chased and killed by Demon Cloud with my own eyes, if it weren't for ...... With someone to help, he had already been captured by the demon cloud, and it was just a demon cloud. ”

When Mu Xingqiu was threatened by Demon Cloud before, it was Xin Youtao and Shen Ji who suddenly appeared for him to block Demon Cloud's attack, and Liao Huayuan fled at the most critical moment, not knowing what happened next, but he was very sure that Mu Xingqiu would never be Demon Cloud's opponent.

Feng Dongchen pursed his lips lightly, "It's your Asan business if you don't repay your kindness, we won't do it in Wandishan, Yang Chun, from today onwards, you owe a favor to seekers, how much you value your life, just prepare multiple rewards." ”

Yang Chun was also full of doubts, but he believed that the Daoist priest of this sect was the star of the sect, and immediately gave Mu Xingqiu a formal Taoist gift, "Please forgive me, today's grace, Yang Chun remembers it." ”

Yang Daoyou was polite. "Mu Xingqiu is not much modest, they are all Taoist priests, and repaying kindness is not only the rule of Taoism, but also the inevitable requirement of cultivation.

Calling a disciple who quit the Taoist system a "Taoist friend", the two people of Wandi Mountain couldn't have made their attitude clearer. The other Taoist priests did not hesitate anymore, and expressed their gratitude to Mu Xingqiu one after another, and Liao Huayuan was the last to come over, "It's not that I'm suspicious, it's really ...... I can't say anything more until I know what happened to Asan Zhao Zhijin Daoyou. ”

"Zhao Daoyou is dead. Feng Dongchen said flatly, "The truth must be confirmed by the senior Taoist priests of various Taoist families, but I don't think his death has anything to do with today's incident." Unless Daoyou owes Zhao Daoyou a greater favor, otherwise, you owe Daoyou a life-saving grace. ”

Once turned to an ordinary low-level Taoist priest. Feng Dongchen's coldness, hardness and arrogance were revealed again.

Xiao Huayuan bowed his head not particularly reluctantly, "The seeker did save my life, I will not forget, without violating the interests of Asan, I will repay even if I go to the soup." ”

For this half-hearted thanks, Mu Xingqiu also replied with a sentence of "few friends are polite".

The three people who had gone to appease the slaves returned, Xin Youtao glanced at the ten rescued Taoist priests, nodded cordially, and the smile on his face was even bigger when it was his turn. "The world is impermanent, even if it is a Taoist priest who serves the sun, I really didn't expect to see a few Taoist priests again, no. It should be that the Taoist priest didn't expect to see me. Once upon a time, a loose cultivator and I resisted the arrows of the demon clouds, Mu Xingqiu Cun wanted to get rid of the unclean qi, and the posture of the Taoist priest turned around and flew away was so cool. But the three of us didn't die, aren't you?"

Liaohuayuan's face was pale, but he refused to give in. He raised his head and said, "The three of you are not Dao disciples, and I have no obligation to sacrifice my life to help each other." ”

As soon as he said this, all the Taoist priests believed Xin Youtao's accusation, Feng Dongchen snorted, and said to Yang Chun: "The Taoist system has its own rules, and we can't control the affairs of other people's families, but we can't forget the rules of Wandi Mountain, you sue me, if you encounter demons and harm people, what will the Taoist priest of Wandi Mountain do?"

Yang Chun had a good personal relationship with Liaohuayuan, but he couldn't stand on his side at this time, and said: "Taoist priests don't interfere in mortal affairs, but if they encounter demons, they will sacrifice their lives to save them." ”

Yuhua Yuan's face was red, and he didn't dare to leave alone, so he hung his head and said nothing.

Xin Youtao's impression of Feng Dongchen immediately changed greatly, and he smiled and saluted him.

Feng Dongchen turned to Zhang Suqin, "I said, I listened to the arrangement of the seekers, but before that, I still have to say my opinion first, we have to take away these mortals, and we can't leave them to the demons." When we couldn't see it before, we could comfort ourselves and say that it was none of our business, but since we encountered it, there was no other excuse. Don't say anything about the Daoist army saving all the slaves, we all know how difficult and slow it is for the Daoist priests to make a decision, and when they make a move, all the mortals in the Xijie Kingdom will die. ”

Zhang Suqin was silent, but Xin Youtao gave Feng Dongchen a salute again, this time with a stern expression, without the slightest hint of laughter, "I thank Daoist Feng for the thousands of people in the Western Jie Kingdom." I've already asked, and they'd rather die on the way to the run than stay here and wait for the demon soldiers to come back and take revenge. Therefore, if the Taoist priests are willing to help, they are grateful, and if they have no time to separate, they set off to the east by themselves. ”

The ten Taoist priests who had just been released still didn't understand what was going on, so Feng Dongchen briefly introduced them, and finally said: "Without the escort of Taoist priests, this group of mortals will definitely die." ”

A Xingluo Taoist priest in Hongshan said with a little hesitation: "Even if we escort us, they are afraid that they will not be able to escape this catastrophe, and the Demon Cloud Envoy said when he let us go that they will ask the Giant Demon King for their guilt, and also advise us to escape faster, because the Giant Demon King will do his best to hunt down and kill the Taoist priests who break into the territory of the Demon Clan." ”

"Well, it makes sense to do anything, the key is how to choose, and I give my choice to catechumens. ”

Everyone had just been rescued, and no one could ignore the opinion of the life-saving benefactor, so they looked at Mu Xingqiu together.

Mu Xingqiu pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Zhang Daoyou of Chaojing Mountain is right, the situation of the demon clan has to be reported to all the Taoist families, and Wandi Mountain Feng Daoyou is right, some things must be done, not depending on the situation, if you can't catch it, you will bypass, how will the Dao system face the demon clan in the future? So I decided to divide the troops into two ways, all the way to report the news, and all the way to escort. ”

Zhang Suqin unceremoniously pointed out, "Those who stay behind are tantamount to death." ”

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "I don't want to die, and I don't want to wait for Qi Wusupreme to send troops to chase after me, I want to go all the way to attract the main force of demon soldiers, and maybe I can fight for a glimmer of life for these mortals." ”
