The night was past midnight, and the fire had been extinguished.
Even when Wu Er personally took action to kill the demon, it still took him quite some time.
After all, there are too many mortals in this city, and they were afraid of accidentally harming anyone, so they did not use any large-scale spells.
They killed them one by one.
Wu Er will not spare a single one of these blood-eating demons.
Incidentally, I also noted down the number of these demons; there were a total of 1,321.
The majority of them were at the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages, with only a few at the Nascent Soul stage, and the number at the Deity Transformation stage was pitifully small, with only a dozen or so.
Not a single demon that had attained enlightenment was seen.
This puzzled Wu Er. How could so many demons gather together and come to the vicinity of Pengshan Gate without a Dao-Merging Demon King as their leader?
You must understand that demons are not like humans; they are very scattered, and it is difficult for those of the same level to submit to each other. Among these demons, the highest level is the Nascent Soul stage.
There are more than ten of these Nascent Soul demons, and there will inevitably be conflicts and disagreements among them.
To lead such a force, one would need at least a demon king at the Dao Integration Realm.
If I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.
So what if there is a demon king at the Dao Integration Realm?
They are not weak in front of Wu Er. Without the Demon Saint, no matter how many monsters there are, they cannot pose a threat.
Wu Er rose into the air and looked down.
The city walls were abandoned and collapsed, most of the houses were destroyed, and the ground was first stained with human blood, then splattered with demon blood, the colors were bizarre.
A dark red expanse, a scene of utter ruin.
Many of the rescued mortals were kneeling and shouting words of gratitude to Wu Er.
Seeing this, Wu Er was not pleased and even frowned.
He further amplified his voice with magical power, saying, "There is no need to kneel. There was a prior agreement that no one from the various kingdoms of Pengshan would need to kneel before a cultivator."
He disliked being worshipped or seeing others worship him. Being a non-local, he naturally lacked the airs of the cultivators here.
Besides, it's better for people to be equal.
Regardless of status or wealth.
But the mortals below, upon hearing this, not only did not stop, but instead performed an even greater bow.
They even shouted, "The immortals are merciful; we will never forget their kindness!"
The saying "three kneelings and nine kowtows" describes this very thing.
"It's always like this..."
Wu Er looked down at the mortals below and couldn't help but shake his head.
Every time he went to a mortal city, he told the mortals not to kneel, but to bow as a sign of respect. However, they always ended up kneeling and kowtowing.
Perhaps this deeply ingrained concept of hierarchy is etched into people's minds and cannot be removed until death.
Shaking his head again, Wu Er ignored these mortals and rode the cloud back to Pengshan Gate.
......
Clouds and mist accompanied us, and in the blink of an eye, we were back at Pengshan Gate.
It is now the dead of night, and the night is bright with the moon high in the sky and stars dotting the Milky Way.
It only took Wu Er a few hours to exorcise the demon here.
Returning to Xiaoyuan Peak, I landed beside the crooked tree and then walked towards the cabin.
Then they saw a man standing in front of the wooden house, wearing a gray robe and with long hair; it was Xiao Mingmu.
Xiao Ming looked somewhat haggard and yawned, appearing very tired, probably from working overtime recently.
When Xiao Mingmu saw Wu Er, he straightened his back and asked, "Senior brother, have you exorcised the demon?"
Since you're asking this, it seems you already know.
The fact that Xiao Mingmu knew about this from 30,000 miles away shows that he knew that the group was going to occupy a city and slaughter mortals.
"Um."
Wu Er responded.
Xiao Mingmu added, "Senior brother, you don't need to do this yourself. Someone will handle it in a few days. If you always do it yourself, it will be very distressing."
"It won't upset you too much."
Wu Er rubbed his temples and said, "I can't stand seeing demons eat people. Besides, the highest cultivation level among those demons is only at the Nascent Soul stage. They're not much of a problem."
After hearing this, Xiao Mingmu tilted his head, a look of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Is the highest level Nascent Soul cultivation?"
"Yes, the highest cultivation level is Nascent Soul, and there are more than ten of them."
Wu Er thought for a moment and replied.
Under the night sky, Xiao Mingmu raised his head, looked at the starry sky, and then stretched out his hand to do some calculations.
He is skilled at divination and stargazing, and can predict certain things. His current actions are precisely a form of divination.
After gazing at the starry sky for a while, Xiao Mingmu frowned.
He said, "That's not right. I didn't expect this to happen. These monsters should have been led by a Dao Integration Demon King. The highest level they've reached is only the Nascent Soul Realm."
Xiao Mingmu was puzzled and asked Wu Er, "Senior brother, how many monsters were there in total? Did you count them?"
"One thousand three hundred and twenty-one heads."
"wrong!"
Xiao Mingmu shook his head and said, "One is missing. According to my deduction, there are 1,322 monsters."
He paused, narrowed his eyes, and then said, "That demon king at the Dao Integration Realm is missing!"
"You missed one?" Wu Er's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise in his expression. "I missed one too? That's pretty impressive."
Wu Er did not doubt Xiao Mingmu's words. Xiao Mingmu's calculations had always been very accurate, unless a demon saint was shielding the secrets of heaven.
If a demon saint were to make a move, Wu Er would have sensed it long ago.
However, Wu Er didn't take this to heart.
It's just a Dao-merging demon king with a stronger ability to hide, capable of evading the divine sense of immortals.
If they dare to show up, just kill them.
Xiao Mingmu didn't take it too seriously. Although one of them had shown up, he only increased his vigilance.
After all, regardless of Wu Er, there are still three people in the He Dao realm within Pengshan Sect, and they all possess great treasures, giving them an overwhelming advantage over many others of the same realm in terms of equipment.
