The Red Fire Old Demon spoke, and with a flick of his finger, a dark red flame the size of a bean slowly flew towards the child.

Li Muran sighed lightly in his heart, the Red Fire Old Demon was a master of the Mahayana period who was proficient in the fire attribute supernatural powers, and the flames he popped out, let alone a mortal child, even if he was a true body stage cultivator, he would not be able to resist it, and he would definitely be burned to ashes!

Many Tianzhumen monks showed unbearable expressions, although as high-level monks, most of them were hard-hearted and insensitive, but in the face of this mortal child who had no power to resist, many people were faintly touched in their hearts like Li Muran.

The Red Fire Old Demon seemed to do it deliberately, and the flames flew extremely slowly, although the mortal children could not dodge, but the surrounding monks had a good chance to intercept or move the child's body away.

However, although many of the monks were unbearable, no one stopped him, and no monk rescued the child. The same is true for Li Muran.

On the contrary, the mortals around the child did not flee on their own, one of them tried to block the flame with a hide, and the other pulled the child behind the boulder.

Of course, these resistances were meaningless, and the flames lightly burned through the animal skin, and the boulder was also directly melted into magma, and then continued to fly slowly towards the child.

The mortal was startled and pulled the child away, but the flames were in hot pursuit behind him.

With the supernatural powers of the Red Fire Old Demon, it was easy to kill these mortals, but he seemed to enjoy the pleasure, and deliberately slowed down the speed of the flames, so that it did not burn the child.

On the contrary, those mortals who intended to save the children were touched by the flames one after another, and then they were burned all over their bodies by the flames in an instant, and turned into a wisp of green smoke in the blink of an eye.

Those mortals, some fled in panic, but they were all killed by the surrounding Tianzhumen monks one by one. Some of the remaining mortals begged for mercy, while others gave up in despair and waited for death to come.

There are also some mortals who hide their children, lovers and other relatives behind them and use their modest bodies to cover them, while some parents hide their children in stone houses and stone cabinets, and they themselves go out of the house in an attempt to let their children escape.

These practices were naturally in vain, and in the face of the powerful divine thoughts and magic powers of high-level immortal cultivators, it was useless to hide a few things. But these seemingly useless and redundant practices reflect the true feelings between mortals everywhere.

The higher the cultivation, the more indifferent it is. On the contrary, it is these weak mortals who reveal their true feelings everywhere.

The old demon seemed to have had enough, and the flame suddenly rushed forward, and it seemed that it was about to catch up with the child.

"That's enough!" the Night Yama shouted again, and with a slap of his empty palm, countless demonic qi suddenly gathered behind the child, turning into a black curtain of light.

The black light curtain just swallowed the chasing flames, and then, the black light curtain turned into a little black light and disappeared, and the flame also disappeared without a trace.

The Night Yama King stood up, bowed respectfully to the Mahayana elders such as Elder Tie and the Red Fire Old Demon, and said in a humble voice: "These mortals, whether they kill or not, there is no difference at all in the immortal cultivation realm!

"This ......" Elder Tie frowned, revealing a look of embarrassment: "Okay, since it's ......"

Before he finished speaking, the Red Fire Old Demon interrupted with a solemn expression: "The mission of the sect, how can it be a child's play! Tianzhumen has always said that it is the same, since it has promised the entrusting party, it must be done." Otherwise, if the entrusting party investigates it, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the involvement! You and I know in our hearts who the entrusted person is! Do we really want to offend such a master for the sake of the life and death of some mortals?"

As soon as these words came out, the monk, who had been a little hesitant or shaken by the feelings of the Night Yama King, couldn't help but stick to his original approach.

The Night Yama King said: "The Red Fire Daoist is now in the eighth place in the ranking list, if the Red Fire Daoist is willing to give Ye a little affection, Ye is willing to give up the third position on the ranking list and exchange rankings with the Daoist!"

"Exchange rankings?" The Red Fire Old Demon couldn't help but feel relieved, and a hint of excitement immediately flashed in his eyes.

Not only him, but the other monks were also shocked when they heard this. Once the ranking list of Tianzhumen is determined, in principle, it will not be changed within a hundred years, but if there is a situation such as the fall of some monks, some small changes will also be made.

Among them, there is a rule that allows monks who do not have too big a ranking gap to learn or trade with each other, reach an agreement, and exchange rankings. Of course, such an exchange must be agreed to by both parties, and neither party can force it. Now the Night Hades actually took the initiative to agree to exchange rankings, which was a godsend for the Red Fire Old Demon.

Elder Tie was shocked when he heard this: "Night Daoist friends can think clearly, the third ranking and the eighth ranking are far apart!

"Is it worth it, Ye Mou knows it in his heart!" "Ye Hades said: "Ye Mou's words are out, and they will not take it back." Red Fire Daoist, do you agree?"

The Red Fire Old Demon groaned slightly, and then nodded: "Okay, since the Night Daoist Friend personally said this, and Elder Tie and others testified, the old man agreed!"

Elder Tie sighed lightly and said, "Okay, that's the end of this matter! I'll wait to get out of here!"

With that, Elder Iron was the first to leave here, and after a while, the Red Fire Old Demon also left with a group of monks.

The Night Yama King waited for the people of Tianzhumen to leave one after another, and finally took Li Muran and others to leave this place where the human race gathered.

When the Heavenly Sect Monks flew away from this sealed space, it was already night. Elder Cheng and the others began to gradually withdraw the formation and restore the power of the spatial enchantment here. The other monks waited.

In the night, the Night Yama King stood alone on the top of a cliff, the dim night covered his body, although he did not perform any exercises, but naturally blended into the night, this high-level Dire monk's unique talent, which is incomparable to other races.

When Li Muran saw this scene, he also secretly sighed.

He flew to the vicinity of the Night Yama King and said to the Night Yama King: "Night Senior, my subordinates heard that the seniors went through a lot of battles before they fought to the third place in the rankings, and now they are giving it to others, is it worth it?"

"Of course it's not worth it!" King Night Hades smiled slightly, turned to look at Li Muran: "However, Ye Mou doesn't regret it. If I had to do it again, I would do it again!"

"Why is that?" asked Li Muran curiously.

Hearing Li Muran's question, the Night Yama King sighed lightly and was silent for a long time. Li Muran didn't dare to ask more.

Later, the Night Yan King took the initiative to speak, and said leisurely: "This matter is a long story! When a certain exercise method was first completed on Chinese New Year's Eve, he once secretly left the Night Rare Clan and broke into the immortal cultivation world, happy to take revenge. ”

"After wandering in the immortal cultivation world for a while, I naturally made some enemies. Later, an enemy took advantage of Ye's absence to kill Ye's wife and underage children!"

Speaking of this, an unconcealable look of pain appeared on the face of the Night Yama, although thousands of years had passed since that period of time, as long as the memory was mentioned, it was like a sharp blade stabbing the Night Yama King.

Since then, Ye's temperament has changed drastically, and he kills everywhere just to find out the whereabouts of the enemy. ”

"Finally, with the help of Tianzhumen, Ye found the enemy and killed the nine clans all over the door to vent the hatred in his heart!"

Because of this, Ye Mou joined Tianzhumen and became a killer. The reason why Ye Mou set the rule of three non-killings is that he doesn't want the same tragedy to happen again, so Ye Mou does not kill female cultivators, does not kill underage children, as for not killing people of the same clan, it is the family rule of the Dire Clan, although Ye Mou left the Dire Clan, he still abides by this rule. ”

When the Night Yama King said this, he suddenly smiled bitterly and asked Li Muran, "Do you know why Ye Mou had to save that mortal child?"

Li Muran shook his head, this was exactly what he was confused about.

The Night Yama King sighed, "Before the child was killed, he was also at this age. He likes to play the game of hiding with his mother the most, but when Ye wants to use the night concealment technique to help him hide, he refuses. He said that he couldn't hide it too tightly because he was afraid that his mother would not find him. ”

"Children's minds are still different from adults. I can't imagine that the mortal child actually said similar words before he died......"

At this point, the Night Yama was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, the Night Yama King opened his mouth and broke the silence: "It is said that the Great Dao is ruthless! Li Xiaoyou, what are you cultivating so hard for?"

"Of course, it's for longevity and longevity with heaven and earth!" Li Muran replied without thinking.

The Night Yama King smiled slightly, and he reached out in the air to grasp it, and took a mountain stone into his hand.

"Look at this rock, it has no emotion, but it can live forever. It lies here quietly, and if it is not destroyed for hundreds of millions of years, it will live with heaven and earth!" The Night Yama King asked: "If it is really the Great Dao that is ruthless, could it be that after becoming an immortal, it will become extremely indifferent and numb, and although it can live forever at that time, what is the difference between it and a stone?"

Li Muran's heart moved, and he shook his head, although he was dedicated to the Dao, he didn't want to end up cultivating into a cold stone.

The Night Yama continued, "You see, the more emotionless things are, the longer they last. Mountains and rocks are not destroyed for hundreds of millions of years, and ancient trees can live for 10,000 years, but they are human races, and their short life span is pitiful in comparison. However, if you were given a chance to choose, would you be willing to be a rock or a tree instead of a person?"

"For those of us who cultivate, the higher our cultivation, the more insipid our state of mind becomes, and the more indifferent and insensitive we are to our worldly feelings. Ye Mou was thinking, if we wait to become a true immortal, and leave all the people or feelings I originally cared about, and truly have no desires and no desires, at that time, what is the difference between it and a mountain rock and a tree? I'm afraid that by that time, we will no longer be waiting for us, but just a walking corpse with vast magical powers!"
