Exorcism

Hong Futian gently turned the black jade statue in his hand and said to the non-existent audience: "The ancient god with a snake body and a human face is the common deity of humans and monsters. Death, compassion, and no difference are the ancient gods. Teaching is the most important thing..."

He couldn't go on talking anymore. Even he couldn't convince himself with such clichés, let alone the determined Prince Huaibi of the Talang Kingdom?

More than 100,000 monster captives are waiting for sentencing in a temporary camp outside the city. If it weren't for Hongfu Tianli's protection, they would have been publicly executed long ago. However, the pressure from Prince Huaibi is increasing, and many human cultivators have also been persuaded. He felt that he should kill the captives and completely break with the country of sacrifice.

Hong Futian sighed. The biggest obstacle to resisting demons turned out to be the antagonism and hatred between humans and demons. He had expected it beforehand, but he did not expect that the resistance would be so strong.

"Maybe it's because I'm a non-demon." Hong Futian said to himself. As a race that lives in a crack, non-demon can't please both sides, so it's hard to put yourself in their shoes and understand the hatred between humans and demons.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and a figure rushed in fiercely. He knelt on the ground a few steps away, raised his head and said excitedly: "Master..."

Hong Futian smiled. His apprentice was always so unstable. He placed the statue on the table next to him and waved to his apprentice to get up, "I thought you would arrive in an hour."

Ouyang Hao kowtowed respectfully before standing up, "The spaceship will arrive in an hour. I was anxious to see you, so I flew over first. The Spirit King will arrive soon."

"Ling Wang alone?" Hong Futian wanted to know if Mu Xingqiu was among them, but he had promised to keep it secret and could not ask directly.

Ouyang Hao obviously didn't know yet, "Not just the Spirit King, but also Bald Man and Lao Chong..."

Hong Futian was slightly startled. He recognized Lao Chuang and knew it was a beast monster. Just as he was about to speak, the casual cultivator outside came in and announced that Prince Huaibi had arrived.

Rogue cultivators are now an extremely important force, and most of them are human beings. Prince Huaibi is very willing to make friends with them, and even hopes to incorporate rogue cultivators into the Talisman Master army of Talang Kingdom, so he came to see Hong Futian in person , instead of sitting in the palace waiting to be seen.

Prince Huaibi did not come alone, but also brought three talisman masters and three casual cultivators. Hong Futian immediately understood that he was becoming more and more isolated in this dispute. There were many casual cultivators, and it was not easy to get together. The battle continued. In the end, "Master Hong" became a false name, and he was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle for people's hearts.

Prince Huaibi was full of joy. He first bowed to Hong Futian and exchanged warm greetings with Ouyang Hao. Then he introduced the talisman master and casual cultivator who had followed him. Inadvertently, he became the owner of this small study. Hong Futian stood aside with a smile. , seeing his apprentice and the prince falling in love at first sight, he shook his head secretly in his heart, and could only admit that he was not good at this kind of thing.

Hong Futian can go into the wilderness to spread teachings to wild beasts, and can argue with strong men at the critical moment of life and death. Once the other party is polite, there is nothing he can do.

Prince Huaibi bowed deeply to the ink jade statue on the table, expressing his respect for the ancient god. "Brother Ouyang has heard of it. It was this statue that performed a miracle and killed a half-demon a month ago. The sacrifice of breaking the body saved the lives of the entire city’s soldiers and civilians.”

Ouyang Hao looked at the statue in surprise. He had heard about the events in Tidelang City and originally thought that the statue would be a magic weapon or a demon weapon. But now it seems that it is just an ordinary jade statue.

Hong Futian could only smile bitterly. He was the only one who knew the secret of the black jade statue, but he could not tell it.

After a while of greetings, someone brought more chairs and everyone sat down, but three talisman masters stood behind Prince Huaibi. The prince got to the point, "The war between humans and monsters has begun. Talang Kingdom has made mistakes before, but because of this, we see the ferocity of monsters and demons more clearly, and our will to resist is the strongest. Talang Country has made mistakes. Langguo now has an army of 200,000, and they can move north at any time. Tu and Lu are also tempted, and they are about to turn their backs on the demons and return to the human camp. I heard that there are many monks and former Taoist priests among the beast masters. As long as you hold high the flag of righteousness, the world will naturally respond, and the Talang Kingdom is willing to be the first force to surrender."

Ouyang Hao was not prepared, and was stunned for a while, and said sheepishly: "I came to Talang Country in advance to see my master. I will definitely participate in the resistance against the demons, but major matters must be decided by the Spirit King. I... "

Prince Huaibi smiled, "Of course, but everyone is responsible for fighting demons, so it doesn't hurt that we have a chat first. I heard that King Ling used to be a Taoist priest?"

"Taoist Priest Pangshan, the daughter of the Yang family of the Taoist sect, retired from Taoism. She is one of the few Taoist priests who voluntarily stayed, and she is also one of the founders of the method of refining beasts." Speaking of the Spirit King, Ouyang Hao was very proud.

"Respectable." Prince Huaibi sighed, "The Taoist tradition has been killing demons for hundreds of thousands of years, but in the end it ended in retirement... Alas, it is useless to talk more. This war will ultimately be borne by humans. Human beings are not weak. Their number is a hundred times that of the Monster Clan and tens of millions of times that of the Demon Clan. As long as everyone is willing to unite, you can put in a little effort and I will put in a little effort..."

Hong Futian had to interject, "Our biggest threat is the demon clan, and the demon clan can win over..."

"Otherwise." Prince Huaibi interrupted Hong Futian, "The demon clan used to be the minions of the demon clan, and now they are willing to be lackeys. How to win over the demon clan? Do humans have to bow to the demon clan just to defeat the demon clan? ? That is the dream of the demon clan."

"This is not a matter of who bows to whom." Faced with the prince's aggressiveness, Hong Futian must remain patient, "What I mean is: there are also humans who take refuge in the demons, and there are also demons who are determined to resist the demons. There is no need to Both humans and demons can unite as long as they have anti-demon power.”

"Haha, the demon clan is capricious. Who can guarantee that they will not betray humans at critical moments? Another point is that the demon clan is the most commonly used casting material for the demon clan. If we join forces with them, wouldn't we leave a hidden danger around us? The demon clan takes action. , how do humans deal with the monsters around them? "

The latter reason is particularly convincing. Although the physical sacrifice does not distinguish between humans and demons, the preparation time is very long, and other demon spells can be cast at any time with the help of the demon body.

Everyone nodded. In order to make magic weapons, the casual cultivators had more contact with the demon clan, so they agreed more with Prince Huaibi's statement. You and I said that it was indeed the case.

Hong Futian could only remind everyone, "Without the harmony between the inside and outside of the demon clan a month ago, we would not be able to take back Talang City."

Hong Futian was speechless. He really couldn't compete with Prince Huaibi. He even felt that what the other party said made some sense. The Talang Kingdom had just escaped from the enslavement of the demon clan. At this time, bringing a group of demon clan to join the fight against the demons would probably cause other people to fight. Human suspicion.

Ouyang Hao has been listening quietly. He is indeed not ready to participate in such a debate. Prince Huaibi has an obvious leadership temperament and what he says makes sense. Ouyang Hao basically agrees, but he must be the beast master. Say one thing, "There are many demon clans in our team, and I can guarantee that they will never be used by the demon clan."

Prince Huaibi smiled softly, "I believe in the guarantee of Brother Ouyang, and I believe in the strength of the Spirit King. However, the Talang Kingdom has been humiliated once and will never open its door to the demon clan again. The ancient gods are above, and humans do not need to open their doors to the demon clan. Bow down!"

There was silence in the room. Everyone felt that if they defended the demon clan, they would be suspected of betraying humanity. Master and disciple Hong Futian were not persuaded and were just thinking of words to respond.

With a bang, the door was pushed open again, and a tall figure bent down and entered the room. Then he puffed up his chest and said roughly: "You don't have to lower your head, just raise your head."

"Laochang!" Ouyang Hao was overjoyed. He was in urgent need of help now, "The Spirit King has arrived?"

Lao Chong nodded and stepped aside. Yang Qingyin stood behind him. Bald Man appeared from the beast monster's shoulder. He looked at everyone in the room with a smile and only nodded to Hong Futian.

Prince Huaibi looked unhappy. He had issued strict orders not to allow any monsters to enter the city. The beasts and monsters in front of him had obvious characteristics, but they were able to pass through unimpeded. Apparently, they had avoided the many restrictions set by the Talisman Master and the casual cultivators.

He pretended that he couldn't see the beast monster that was almost as tall as the house, and bowed slightly to the female Taoist priest, "It is a great honor for the King of Spirits to come to the Land of Waves."

"Well, I'm quite honored too." Yang Qingyin's eyes turned and finally landed on the ink jade statue on the table.

The Spirit King was not too polite, and Prince Huaibi stopped making excuses. "We are discussing how to deal with the demon clan. What do you think of the Spirit King?"

"I am the leader of a group of beast masters. I have some experience in catching strange beasts and refining beast pills. I don't know much about other things, let alone have any high opinions. I don't think the demon clan needs us to 'treat' it. I want to fight the demons. If you don’t want to fight or don’t dare to fight, you just stay aside. This is the same with the demon clan and the same with humans.”

Prince Huaibi sneered, and his impression of the Taoist girl immediately worsened. "Just standing up is not enough. The anti-magic forces must unite..."

"It's best if we can unite, but so what if we can't? The world is not perfect. Some are weak, some are timid, some are ignorant, and some are stubborn. Who can unite them all? Unity is a good thing. If not, someone must stand up. We have no choice but to protect ourselves." Yang Qingyin pointed at the Moyu statue, "I don't have any ideas. Let's hear what the ancient god said."

Prince Huaibi was surprised. The Spirit King's view of "no need for alliance" was not within his expectation. As for "What did the ancient gods say?" it was even more nonsense. However, his eyes still turned around involuntarily, and then his eyes widened in surprise. Mouth--

The black jade statue is actually alive.
