Chapter 162 The Way Disappears, Demons Rise
"No, I don't want to die."
Qian Shu said decisively, his voice carrying a hint of gritted teeth.
"Niu Gao is not yet dead, Mu Shan is not yet destroyed, and those traitors of the Yunxia Sect who used the people as their sustenance are not yet dead. How can I leave this world alone?"
Qian Shu looked at Qing Mu, his eyes fixed on him.
Aoki smiled; it seemed that Qian Shu already had an answer.
When a person is completely destroyed, from soul to body, the resentment and hatred they will harbor towards the person who destroyed them is self-evident.
Sure enough, Qian Shu said in a deep voice:
"I don't care what you're trying to do or what you're going to destroy. I think what you said makes a lot of sense. At this moment, what's important to me isn't even that ethereal Dao, but sending Niu Gao on his way and finally settling my karma with him."
"I hate it! I hate that he toyed with me, manipulated my destiny, and I hate even more that he so blatantly disregarded the justice in my heart."
"This world shouldn't be like this!"
"This world was not like this many years ago, but unfortunately, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Way has declined and the Demonic Way has risen. By the time the Tang dynasty was destroyed, even the Confucianism of the past had completely disappeared."
Aoki smiled again, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Those great Confucian scholars who once brought peace and order to their regions have now become lambs regularly raised by several major demonic sects."
"When the demons see the great Confucian scholar, they can't help but feel secretly delighted, because his pure soul is the best resource for the demons to advance their cultivation."
"The Heavenly Tang Dynasty has fallen, but it's not just the Heavenly Tang Dynasty that has fallen..."
Aoki didn't finish his sentence, not because he was unwilling to.
Even a peerless figure like him, who once dominated the world, had to consider those high-ranking figures in the infinitely high void above, who regarded many past events as taboos.
Words spoken will evoke feelings.
"At this moment, how many people of this generation still remember that the world we live in was once part of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the center of all realms?"
Aoki chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Qian Shu seemed to understand, but not quite. As an ordinary cultivator in Dajing under the rule of Yunxia Sect, he was unaware of these matters.
Even after so many years and reaching the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he still doesn't truly know how many states there are in this world, or how many Golden Core cultivators or even higher-level cultivators there are.
Aoki remained silent for a moment.
He directed Qian Shu to crawl into a puppet made of spirit wood.
……
In the valley.
At this moment, the Chaotic Demon and the Desolate Skull kept swallowing their saliva, their legs trembling, showing no signs of being half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators who had achieved success in their cultivation.
They wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but things had completely gone beyond their expectations.
If they stayed any longer, there was no doubt that Niu Gao and Mu Shan would not let them go.
But every time they tried to escape a little further, a chilling killing intent would lock onto them, forcing them to stop in their tracks.
"Why haven't they started fighting yet?"
Luan Mo gritted his teeth in exasperation. It was obvious that Niu Gao and Mu Shan were either tacitly in cahoots or had ulterior motives in keeping their eyes on them.
Therefore, if Niu Gao and Mu Shan did not fight, how could the two of them escape?
"Oh, this is terrible! You demon, I shouldn't have listened to your song and opposed Mu Shan. I should have immediately pledged allegiance to him when he arrived in this land between the two countries, otherwise, how could I have ended up in this state today?"
The Chaos Demon opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something to the Desolate Skull.
But the next moment.
Niu Gao made a move!
Mu Shan also moved.
As Niu Gao unleashed a sword strike, Mu Shan immediately formed a hand seal and coldly addressed the two, "Chaos Demon, Niu Gao, if you don't return to your positions now, when will you?!"
