After much deliberation, the three men finally accepted a patrol assignment.
This is not a difficult task; in fact, you could say it's a slacking-off task with low rewards.
Wu Er had no objection to the mission. He was just here for sightseeing, to experience life, and to have some fun with his disciples.
Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao thought they should first take on a simple task to practice and familiarize themselves with the border environment before tackling more difficult tasks.
The objective of this patrol mission was simple: to patrol within a hundred miles outside the city walls and see if there were any demons.
If a demon of the Golden Core level or above is found within a hundred miles, it can be considered a violation of the precepts.
If a demon breaks the rules, first issue a verbal warning. If the warning is ineffective, then the demon may be punished or killed.
These rules sound cruel, and feel like they're indiscriminately killing innocent people.
Actually, this is quite merciful. This set of rules was decided after Wu Er and the other three immortals and one Buddha discussed it for a long time.
The specific purpose can be said to be to protect the demon race in the Eastern Wilderness; otherwise, without the Demon Saint in charge, the demon realm would have been surrounded and wiped out long ago.
Moreover, the excuse was extremely high-sounding, saying that "those who are not of our kind must have different hearts" and insisting on killing the demon race in the Eastern Wilderness.
Then, disregarding the objections of other sects, Wu Er shouldered all the pressure alone.
However, it didn't withstand all the pressure; it also established some disgusting rules, setting a strict boundary where any demon that crossed the boundary would either be killed or suppressed.
Unfortunately, everyone with eyes could see that Wu Er was protecting these demons, but these demons regarded Wu Er as their greatest enemy.
They often use the banner of "restoring the holy race" to frequently cross borders and harass people, eating them everywhere.
Wu Er originally wanted to manage the border between the two tribes more leniently, but due to the frequent occurrence of such incidents, he had no choice but to tighten control again.
The stricter the Pengshan Sect's control, the more the demons of the Eastern Wilderness resist.
And so the two sides fought back and forth. Although there were few casualties on either side, a feud was formed.
Therefore, the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan is a major headache for Wu Er.
For some reason, Wu Er did not want to exterminate them, but on the other hand, the Eastern Wilderness demon race kept invading, leaving him at a loss.
The scenario depicted in novels, where the protagonist raises their arms and shouts, and prejudice against transgender people immediately disappears, leading to a peaceful world, is not real.
How could one person reverse such a prejudice that has lasted for tens of thousands of years?
Let's not talk about these headaches anymore. Wu Er just came out to relax this time.
After traveling for a while, Wu Er and the others arrived at the place they were to patrol.
Heh... I don't know what's so interesting about patrolling this place; it's just a wasteland.
The three of them only need to wander around here for a few hours, and they will have basically completed their patrol mission.
Seeing this desolate forest, Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao were somewhat disappointed. They were both young people, and although they were not fond of fighting, they still hoped to eliminate demons and make contributions.
Wu Er was quite happy to be free and found the desolate forest and wilderness quite novel.
It must be said that the environment in this demon realm is truly excellent.
Everywhere there are dense forests and tall trees, and the variety of plants is much greater than in human territory.
Moreover, this is still the border of the demon race. If you go further in, the forest will be even denser.
And so the three of them wandered around the area for quite a while, and nothing happened for several hours. The nearby woods were very quiet.
However, just when the three of them thought it would end peacefully, something unusual happened in the surrounding woods.
"For His Majesty's sake!"
A shout came from not far away, and then patches of black demonic clouds drifted over, completely surrounding the three patrolling officers.
Clearly, Wu Er and his companions were very lucky; while out on patrol, they actually ran into a demon trying to commit a crime.
"The battle flag is raised, the Holy Lord's power is revealed, our race will rise!"
Suddenly another sound came, and many demons emerged from the demonic clouds.
There were all sorts of demons, with tiger heads and leopard heads, cow faces and sheep heads; a rough count revealed there were probably over a hundred demons.
The leader of this group of demons was a dog-headed demon, and it was the dog-headed demon who shouted those words just now.
The dog-headed demon was incredibly excited when it saw Wu Er and his two companions, just like a street thug seeing an honest person he could bully.
Then the dog-headed demon raised his hands and shouted again, "The battle flag is displayed, the Holy Lord is mighty, our race will rise!"
The group of lesser demons following the dog-headed demon also raised their hands, looked up, and shouted.
"The battle flag is raised, the Holy Lord's power is revealed, our race will rise!"
Although these demons didn't seem very smart, and it was unclear what they were up to, their appearance within a hundred miles of the border was clearly a violation of the rules.
Han Qingxiu, of course, followed the rules and shouted, "This is the boundary between humans and demons, do not trespass!"
After shouting this, Xiong Ao continued, "Anyone who dares to offend will be killed without mercy!"
After the two of them finished shouting, Wu Er, who was standing to the side, had nothing left to shout, so he started catching fish again.
When the demons heard Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao shouting, they also started shouting.
The slogan they shouted was still the same: "The battle flag is displayed, the holy lord is mighty, our race will rise!"
Seeing that the other party did not make a move, Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao also did not make a move. They were too young and did not quite understand the extent to which ignoring a verbal warning meant.
Since the other side didn't make a move, they simply shouted a couple more warnings at the top of their lungs, this time making their voices much louder than before to increase their momentum.
These demons were quite tough, and they still replied with the same words, "The battle flag is displayed, the Holy Lord is mighty, our race will prosper!" Moreover, their voices were much louder than the previous two times.
Wu Er, who was slacking off while watching, was amused and thought to himself: "Are they really going to have a showdown? If they don't start fighting now, they'll have to compete to see who can shout the loudest."
Just as Wu Er had expected, Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao did not make a move, but instead issued another warning.
A warning is issued here, and someone shouts it out there.
And so, the two sides inexplicably started arguing.
Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao amplified their magic, making their warnings grow louder and louder.
The demons were also full of energy, shouting even louder and making all sorts of movements.
It's worth mentioning that Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao shouted out warnings that were almost never the same.
The demon race keeps shouting the same phrase; I don't know if they're just not smart enough to come up with anything new.
Well... this inexplicable sound battle lasted for quite a while.
In the end, Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao were defeated. While they were panting heavily, the little demons were still full of energy, shouting and gesturing wildly.
This contest demonstrates that the physical abilities of the demon race are several levels higher than those of the human race.
Since shouting won't work, let's just drive them away by hand.
Although in principle they can be killed, according to the teachings of Pengshan Sect, they should be driven away if possible, and avoid taking lives if possible.
Han Qingxiu drew the Wujian Sword, and Xiong Ao once again tore off his shirt and showed off his muscles.
These two were determined; this time, they wouldn't waste any more words and would take action if they could!
