Chapter 119 Lingzhuzi: No moral ethics! There was a quarrel...

After a few rounds of arguments, Fu Li basically figured out that Xiangliu was a bit stubborn and had a relatively high moral standard, but he just didn't know how to adapt.

His moral standards are relatively high, compared with Bai Ze; he is not very flexible, compared with Ji Meng.

Not to mention that his plan was a mess, even compared with the dead Jiuying, Xiangliu had to be classified as someone who was inflexible.

Like Bai Ze, Jiuying is unwilling to give up the pride of being a great sage of the demon race, and does not want to rely on the human race to gain merit to eliminate his own karma.

But unlike Bai Ze, he is a truly loving father. In order to free his son from the suffering of cause and effect, he has accumulated merits over the years and actually cleared up the cause and effect for his son.

You must know that the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth. Only by helping the human race accomplish great things can one accumulate merit. Jiuying has been relatively unknown in recent years, so it is clear that his merit was not accumulated through the human race.

I wonder how many things he had to do secretly to clear the karma of his son?

Back to Xiangliu, Fuli greatly admired those who had moral integrity and remained loyal to their former master, even if they were not on the same side as her, or even her enemy.

Because of this admiration, Fu Li didn't want to humiliate him. Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, she sighed and said to Ji Meng, "Sister Ji Meng, let him go."

"Yes." Without a word, Ji Meng immediately lifted the blockade on Xiang Liu's meridians and said with a smile, "I apologize for any offense I caused you before. I hope you won't blame me. My master has already said that you can leave at any time."

Xiangliu, who had regained his freedom, was incredulous: "Are you really willing to let me go?"

Fu Li said helplessly, "The Great Witch is a loyal and righteous man. I can't bear to humiliate you. I can't get any information from you through words, so I have no choice but to let you go."

"Then I'll leave." Xiangliu took a few steps tentatively. Seeing that neither Fu Li nor Ji Meng came to chase him, he was sure that they really wanted to let him go. He immediately used his magical power to shrink the earth into an inch and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ji Meng then asked, "Master, are you just going to let him go like this?"

Fu Li said, "What else can I do if I don't release it? Wouldn't it cost money to keep it?"

As for killing?

Don't make a fuss, that's Xiangliu. When Dayu killed him, the poison spread far and wide.

His blood was fishy and smelly, leaving no grass where it flowed. It was also highly corrosive. Dayu ordered people to fill the area where his blood passed. Each time it was filled, it corroded the area. After three times of filling and three sinking, the corrosiveness was finally curbed.

Even so, no grass or trees could grow in those places, so they had to build a demon-suppressing platform in the hope of suppressing it forever.

Fu Li concluded: "You saw it too. Didn't he escape again? I don't know when he escaped."

Ji Meng was silent for a long while before he nodded: "My Lord is right."

Logically speaking, Xiangliu only had nine lives, and King Yu killed the eighth one. Now if he kills him again, he will be completely killed.

But thinking of Xiangliu's nine constantly changing faces, Ji Meng really didn't dare to gamble on how many lives he had left.

Although the birth, rise, and demise of liches all occurred simultaneously, the witch clan and the demon clan were ultimately different. No matter how many lives the demon clan had, once they died, they were completely gone. Who knew if the witch clan had any secret method to prolong their life?

Fu Li turned to Bai Ze and said with a smile, "Xiang Liu was released, but isn't there another one? Asking him will be the same. Isn't that right, Great Sage Bai Ze?"

Bai Ze sneered: "If Xiangliu doesn't tell me, do you think I will?"

Fu Li's smile was much sweeter: "It's okay. I can't bear to humiliate Xiang Liu, but I can't bear to torture you."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Teng Shun, the Minister of Justice of the Former Shu Kingdom.

Teng Shun is a demon, and a local demon of Shu Kingdom. His original form is a thick vine on the cliff. After transforming, he has been living in seclusion in the mountains to practice meditation.

Until Fu Li's power expanded rapidly in Shu, and he posted notices to recruit talented people regardless of their background or race.

At that time, Teng Shun was still very innocent, having barely come into contact with humans. He was just an ordinary little demon, without any noble inherited memories, and was unaware of the grievances between humans and demons.

He was just envious of the "favorable treatment" mentioned in the notice, so he went to the Jinjiang Department to recommend himself.

After Fu Li's observation, he found that he had a talent for law, so he focused on teaching him. When the Shu Kingdom was established, he first arranged for him to work in the Ministry of Justice as a Deputy Minister, and later promoted him to the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

If the demon race had not already occupied two of the six ministers, and Fu Li needed to maintain a balance, he would not have remained in the position of minister for decades.

Although he was not a minister in name, the treatment Fu Li gave him was no less than that of a minister.

After joining the Ministry of Justice, he not only continued to study the law, but also diligently delved into punishments. There were punishments that only caused pain without damaging the root, punishments that were not very painful but damaged the root, punishments that appeared to be harmless but caused internal ulcers, punishments that appeared to be ulcerated but were intact on the inside...

No matter what effect his superiors desired, he could easily satisfy it. Even the most stubborn prisoners wouldn't survive more than three rounds of punishment in his hands.

This is the result of hard study.

Not long after, Teng Shun arrived.

His temperament didn't fit the stereotype of a criminal officer at all; instead, he resembled a gentle and talented scholar, a man of gentle grace. Coupled with his tough and handsome features, he possessed a perfect balance of strength and gentleness, and at first glance, one could tell he was a man of both civil and military talents.

"Your servant, Teng Shun, pays homage to the Lord. This little demon greets the Great Sage Ji Meng."

He walked in, exchanged greetings with Fu Li and Ji Meng, then looked at Bai Ze with a gentle smile: "Master, is that him?"

"Yes, it's him." Fu Li only said, "Don't let him die easily."

Teng Shun nodded to show that he understood, and without saying anything more, he walked forward, picked up Bai Ze and left.

Bai Ze didn't know why, but he felt a chill when facing this demon who was not as advanced as him and looked very gentle.

"Where do you want him to take me?" He couldn't help but question Fu Li.

Fu Li ignored him.

Teng Shun patted his cheek gently, his smile as gentle as the breeze, his tone as soft as water: "Don't worry, it's a good place, there are many new and interesting things you haven't seen before."

——We can play slowly. I don’t know if you like it or not, but I have always liked it.

Not long after, Teng Shun sent a little demon over and told Fu Li that she could take back the Dragon Binding Rope.

Fu Li knew that Bai Ze must have completely lost the ability to resist at this time, so he followed the advice and chanted a spell to take back the magic weapon.

=====

When Lingzhuzi came back, it was already dark.

He looked a little disheveled, with low air pressure around him. He sat on the bed with a sullen face and said nothing. It was obvious that the result of this trip was not satisfactory.

Fu Li took out a new set of clothes for him to change into, then pulled him to sit in front of the dressing mirror. While helping him fix his hair, she asked, "How many other masters does the Phoenix Clan have hidden?"

Unlike the ever-active Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan had suddenly fallen silent since retreating to the Undying Volcano. With the exception of the expelled Crown Prince Kong Xuan, none of them had made a single splash in the prehistoric world.

If a once powerful race becomes quiet after a defeat, it doesn't necessarily mean they're weak. On the contrary, they're likely accumulating strength, waiting for the next opportunity to rise.

Ling Zhuzi was furious: "No moral principles, seventeen of them are chasing me and I am the only one beating me!"

Fu Li: “…………”

——It seems like you are going there to rob?

"This is too shameless!" Fu Li exclaimed, "What are the cultivation levels of those seventeen people?"

Ling Zhuzi said: "Four Daluo Jinxian, nine Taiyi Jinxian, and four Taiyi Xuanxian."

Fu Li nodded slightly: "That's basically the entire fighting force of the Phoenix Clan."

She hugged Ling Zhuzi's neck and kissed him on the cheek, praising him highly: "You can escape unscathed even when surrounded by wolves. You are truly worthy of being like that!"

Ling Zhuzi in the mirror raised his eyebrows proudly, but the next moment he couldn't help but flare his nose. He gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't suffered such a loss since I transformed. No, I have to find two helpers and get back at you!"

Fuli is not inclined to use force to solve problems, but that requires a prerequisite, that is, our force is superior to that of the other side.

For example, the former East China Sea Dragon Clan, after being beaten up by Lingzhuzi single-handedly, they all came to the door together to express that they were peace-loving and did not want to conflict with the East China Sea.

Fu Li still remembers a wise saying from his previous life: Peace exists when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise.

She felt that her ideas were correct, and practice over the years had proved that she was right.

Therefore, when Lingzhuzi asked for help, she started thinking and almost instantly thought of a perfect candidate.

"Let's go find Kong Xuan and have an in-depth discussion with the Phoenix Clan. He will definitely be happy to do so."

The dignified prince of the Phoenix clan, the direct descendant of Yuan Feng, was driven out of the Immortal Volcano with his younger brother after his father's death. How could he not be angry?

Kong Xuan had been displaced since childhood, which had worn away his peacock pride, but not his own pride. Just because he seemed easy to talk to didn't mean he had no ambition.

Ling Zhuzi slammed his hand on the table and said with a carefree smile, "We both thought of the same thing, so let's go find Kong Xuan. Let's go to Jin'ao Island."

Kong Xuan was the second disciple of Duobao Zhenren. He was meticulous, methodical, and exceptionally patient and able to endure loneliness. Duobao Zhenren was very fond of him and often kept him by his side to help with teaching affairs.

Firstly, they were asking for help, and secondly, they wanted to give face to Duobao Zhenren, the headmaster's eldest disciple, so they didn't use a mobile phone to call people over, but went to invite them in person.

After arriving at Jin'ao Island, the two of them first went to pay a visit to Tongtian Sect Master, then went to pay a visit to Duobao Zhenren, and after reporting their purpose, they went to see Kong Xuan.

As expected, when Kong Xuan heard about causing trouble for the Phoenix Clan, he agreed without hesitation for even a second.

"Brothers and sisters, please wait a moment. I will ask the teacher for leave. I can leave at any time."

He left his cave and before he reached Duobao Zhenren's palace, he met the Fire Spirit Mother who had just returned from outside.

"Senior Sister, you're back just in time." Kong Xuan walked forward in surprise.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had a great time this time and was in an extremely good mood. When she saw Kong Xuan coming, she immediately pulled out a bunch of things from her sleeves and stuffed them into his hands: "These are all local specialties, Junior Brother, take them and play with them."

"Thank you, senior sister." Kong Xuan knew that she was a straightforward person who didn't like false courtesy, so he thanked her directly and accepted it.

The Fire Mother was satisfied, and then she asked, "You just said that I came back at the right time, but what difficulties did you encounter?"

Kong Xuan said, "It's not a difficult matter. I just need your help with a personal matter."

"you say."

So he told the Fu Li couple that they had asked him to go with them to fight the Phoenix Clan, and asked the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit to come and help.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit knew Kong Xuan's life story very well. When she heard that her junior brother was going back for revenge, she rubbed her hands and said, "Of course I have to be involved in this kind of thing. I've heard that the Phoenix Clan is very good at using fire. This is a good opportunity for us to see who is the master of playing with fire!"
