Xiao Mingmu has sent someone, and it seems this person's cultivation level is quite high.
He was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a square head and a large face, looking like a righteous Taoist. He also had a very straight back and looked quite respectable.
Moreover, judging from his aura, his cultivation level is quite remarkable, comparable to that of the Silver Butterfly Demon King, and he may have reached the Dao Integration stage.
Of course, one cannot judge a person's character solely by their appearance.
Wu Er saw Xiao Mingmu, and then turned his gaze to the middle-aged Taoist.
"This...this senior...how should I address you?"
When Xiao Ming saw his senior brother asking the question, he quickly introduced him, saying, "Senior brother, this is Senior Ju Gong, a Dao-Merging expert from the Hunyuan Sect."
After saying this, Xiao Mingmu stepped forward again and helped the swaying Wu Er.
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
"It's alright, it's nothing serious. Just need some rest and a few days of recuperation."
Wu Er acknowledged Xiao Mingmu's concern, then said to Ju Gong, "Thank you for coming to my rescue despite your busy schedule, senior..."
After all, they've come all this way—a Dao-Merging expert has come to rescue me. It's only right and proper that I express my gratitude.
However, the Taoist priest was not particularly interested in the gratitude. He merely nodded in acknowledgment and did not say anything.
He then looked away from Wu Er, closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, and asked, "Where is the Demon King? I don't sense any aura of the Demon King."
It's clear that this attack was aimed at the Demon King, since he was an injured Demon King, which was a freebie.
Besides, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to invite him.
Since someone has asked the question, it's only natural to answer it. After all, my cultivation level is what it is, and it wouldn't be good not to answer.
Wu Er pointed to the side and said, "The Silver Butterfly Demon King is here..."
Upon hearing the words "Demon King," Ju Gong perked up and looked in the direction Wu Er pointed, where he saw the Silver Butterfly Demon King, now a corpse.
"No wonder I couldn't feel it, it turns out it was already dead."
After saying this, Ju Gong walked to the corpse of the Silver Butterfly Demon King.
He crouched down, pressed his hand on the corpse twice, and muttered to himself, "Old wounds flared up, all the meridians in his body were severed, and he died a miserable death... Why are there still several sword wounds on his body?"
That sword was naturally left by Wu Er.
Ju Gong also realized this, and asked Wu Er without any emotion, "Did you leave the sword wound on this demon king?"
Wu Er nodded and said, "Yes."
Ju Gong then asked, "So, you mean you wore down this demon king to death?"
Although the tone of the sentence was very ordinary, something still felt off.
Wu Erqiang smiled and replied, "How could that be? What does the death of this demon king have to do with me? I only escaped from the demon king's clutches. The Silver Butterfly Demon King was clearly killed by you, senior."
Therefore, the meaning is quite clear.
Xiao Mingmu understood their conversation and tightened his grip on Wu Er's hand slightly.
This ability was sought out specifically for the Demon King.
Moreover, it's not just for the demon king's demon core, but also for the prestige of killing the demon king.
Although there are many cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration stage, there are very few who can kill a demon king. If one obtains this title, their value will naturally rise, surpassing that of a large number of other cultivators, and the resources they receive will naturally increase as well.
Wu Er was an eyewitness and knew exactly how the Silver Butterfly Demon King died.
Although Wu Er won't say anything reckless after he leaves, that's just how people are; they don't trust each other. So, this group really wants a stance.
If we don't make our stance clear now, I'm afraid they'll kill us to silence us.
"Good eye."
Ju Gong gave Wu Er a lukewarm compliment, and then got busy.
As for what I'm busy with?
Of course, it's about dismembering the demon's corpse and extracting its core!
Not everyone is as kind-hearted as Wu Er and would go to bury this demon king.
Then, Ju Gong pulled out a magic weapon and dismembered the Silver Butterfly Demon King's corpse into eight pieces.
Blood and gore flowed everywhere, and the Silver Butterfly Demon King's corpse could no longer maintain its human form, and began to revert to its original state.
Wu Er didn't want to see the disgusting scene, so he turned his head away.
After a while, the sound of the magical artifacts chopping stopped.
"Hmph, this demon king is really poor. Apart from his flesh and demon core, he has nothing of value."
Judging from this, Ju Gong must have dealt with the Silver Butterfly Demon King.
At this moment, Wu Er looked towards Ju Gong again.
The Silver Butterfly Demon King's corpse had vanished, leaving only a trace of blood.
It's quite a pity that even a powerful demon king like him had his body dismembered after his death.
After dealing with the demon king's corpse, Ju Gong looked at Wu Er again.
Because he had made his stance clear quickly enough, there was no murderous intent in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Ju Gong pointed at Wu Er rudely and said, "You have done a good job in holding back the Demon King. I want to reward you with something. I'll give you the position of a third-class guest elder of the Hunyuan Sect, and you can also receive some offerings."
Wu Er naturally dared not say anything more about this arrangement.
Now that he was seriously injured, he had no bargaining power and could only reply, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
"Hmm." Having arranged everything, Ju Gong ascended into the sky, saying, "You all know what to say and what not to say after this, right?"
Wu Er nodded again.
Ju Gong nodded, then flew away alone, paying no further attention to Wu Er and Xiao Mingmu.
