Thinking of the hardships he had endured in practicing for thousands of years, and the pain of his skin and flesh being torn apart by the thunder, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the valley again, and the wails like ghosts and wolves howled resounded through the heavens and earth.

"I just want to ask for one thing, just one thing: why is God so unfair to me? Why don't those evil people just die? They deserve to die, all of them deserve to die!"

Wei Mian looked at the crazy look of the black dragon and sighed deeply. It was indeed pitiful, but it was so difficult for monsters to achieve enlightenment.

When she said that her request for the title had failed, everyone present immediately understood what had happened and felt as if they had suddenly realized something.

The two old men were not the first ones they had seen who were retaliated against for failing to get a title, but they were the first ones to die so miserably.

"A beast is a beast, why waste so much time talking to it? No one stipulated that we must accept its request for a title, and it even has the guts to retaliate. Such a beast should be dealt with. Keeping it alive will only bring disaster to the village!"

Zhong Miaoyi's lazy voice rang out on the hillside, without a trace of mercy.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Cheng Yue, the bootlicker, immediately followed up, "Miss Zhong is right. This thing has already killed two people. It failed to get the title and has no chance of transforming into a dragon. It has the karma on its back and it will have no chance of transforming into a dragon in the future. I'm afraid it will go astray. It's better to kill it directly to prevent it from harming people in the future!"

Zhong Miaoyi looked at him approvingly, and just this one look made Cheng Yue's heart burn.

Some people saw that it was Zhong Miaoyi who spoke, so they did not stand up to refute. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with them, and it would be bad to offend the Zhong family for an unrelated person.

However, Zheng Hao did not give the beauty any face at all and retorted to Zhong Miaoyi.

"Can you please stop talking nonsense? He practiced for thousands of years and even overcame the most difficult thunder tribulation, only to be tricked by a mean-mouthed old man. If you were a sarcastic woman like you, you'd be worse than him. You might not only kill two people, you'd probably kill the whole village!"

Zhong Miaoyi was completely amazed when she heard this. For so many years, she had never seen anyone dare to speak loudly to her, and this bastard actually dared to yell at her? Was he not a fool?

"You! You bastard! Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, looking even more turbulent, which made Cheng Yue stare at her in amazement.

However, Zheng Hao remained unmoved.

"Bah!"

He spat fiercely, "Are you scared silly? You come here and ask me who you are. How would I know who you are? You can love whoever you want!"

Zhong Miaoyi became even more furious and was about to slap Zheng Hao in the face, but was stopped by Zhong Shuo who shouted "Stop".

The moonlight shone into the valley, and it was hard to see what Zhong Miaoyi's expression was, but it was definitely not good.

Zheng Hao had just spoken harshly to a beautiful woman, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he was very proud and felt that he was very awesome.

Zhong Shuo's face was rarely serious. "You failed in your quest for a title. You could have started over again and started practicing again in a few years. Why did you make such a mistake, accumulating karma and ruining a thousand years of practice?"

"Re-cultivate?" The black dragon sneered in a very human way. "That's easy for you to say! Let's not even talk about how many years it will take to cultivate again. Then you'll have to go through the thunder tribulation all over again. I was lucky enough to survive the thunder this time, but what about next time? Who can guarantee that?"

Wei Mian could understand Hei Jiao's feelings.

It would be fine if he failed to pass the first level, but the black dragon could only blame God for letting him die under the thunder, just like his fellow creatures.

But he was the only one among those dragons who passed the test of heavenly thunder in a thrilling way. The probability of this happening was as low as one in ten thousand.

It gave it hope, but then dealt it a fatal blow just when it was full of hope.

Failing at the moment of success doubles the pain, making it impossible not to feel hatred and resentment. Humans are really too bad!

It is difficult to resist killing the culprit.

Wei Mian frowned slightly. "I know you finally survived the thunder tribulation, but you failed in your quest for a title, and you're still resentful. Those two old men were malicious and deliberately called you a tree branch, just because they didn't want you to succeed in your quest for a title. But the world isn't full of bad people; there are many good people too. You've practiced for so many years, is it worth it to ruin your practice by getting involved in someone's life?"

Thinking of the offerings he had seen in the ancestral hall before, Wei Mian continued, "And the villagers enshrining your scales in the ancestral hall and offering incense to you is also good for you. You should have already felt it."

The black dragon stopped talking. After killing the two old men, for some reason, a surge of murderous intent suddenly surged from the bottom of its heart, the kind that could not be stopped. It wanted to slaughter the entire village for no reason.

And this thought became stronger and stronger. Finally, driven by this thought, the Black Dragon came to the village. After wandering around the village for a few rounds, he finally suppressed his murderous intent.

In the next few days, the thought of massacring the village popped up from time to time. Hei Jiao felt that he had not killed for thousands of years, but now he had frequent thoughts of killing. He guessed that he was trapped by his inner demons because he failed to transform into a dragon.

Later, it wandered around the village a few more times. It heard the gossip of the people through the window and felt that life was not easy for everyone, so the black dragon retreated again.

But that thought kept torturing it, telling it that people like that deserved to die, that everyone deserved to die, and asked it to kill all those bad people, kill them all.

Wei Mian had been staring into the black dragon's eyes, and naturally did not miss the struggle in its eyes. He knew that this black dragon was not born evil.

She simply changed the subject, "What's with the evil spirit on you? You didn't have it when you were going through the thunder tribulation."

The black dragon's pupils were filled with indifference. "I failed to obtain the title, so I had to find a way to heal my wounds. I stumbled upon the cave by accident. I don't know what's going on there, but there's a breath of something I'm close to in the cave. I relied on that breath to recover."

But after recovering, it inexplicably had a lot more evil spirit on its body. At first, its mind was full of revenge. After the revenge was taken, it wanted to find a place to practice again, but at this time the black dragon suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Ever since the evil spirit appeared in its body, it could no longer feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, because there was too much evil spirit, the negative energy gathering towards it also increased.

The black dragon is a living creature, not a ghost. It is not a good thing for it to be surrounded by evil spirits for a long time. It is harmful to its practice, so it begins to find ways to clear the evil spirits from its body.

However, I tried many methods, but none of them worked.

"Later, I stumbled upon the discovery that by absorbing the vital energy from the flowers, plants, and trees in the mountains, I could use that vital energy to counteract the negative energy surrounding me."

"Although it's not enough to completely expel the evil spirit from me, it can help me achieve a balance."

After hearing this, Wei Mian couldn't help but frown.
