When the young Taoist priest chopped off the head of Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole with a sword, the atmosphere of the entire formation became dead silent in an instant. The atmosphere was slightly quiet. No one dared to be surprised or talk. They just looked at the stern young Taoist priest and the real body of Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole who had reunited.
The latter gently touched his neck, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the young Taoist in front of him.
He wanted to vent his anger and force the young man in front of him to reveal his true demonic form.
Because as a warrior of the Exorcist Institute, just as he had said to Qi Wuhuo before - Qi Wuhuo has the protection of the Great True Lord Tianpeng.
He couldn't move, nor did he dare to move, so he made a threatening move!
Even as an emperor, he was not willing to confront Tianpeng just to kill a **demon. With the means of the Exorcist Institute, everything Donghua did was uncovered. If the generals under his command died on the road to seeking the truth, they would not care, and would all say that they died a worthy death and laugh at it.
However, if a general dies in the line of duty and his relatives seek revenge, it would be a direct provocation to the Exorcist House.
This group of killers will directly investigate all of them from the perpetrators to the masterminds in one go.
The clairvoyant and the sharp-eared will be temporarily requisitioned.
Tianpeng will display his majestic appearance with three heads and six arms, and appear angry.
Bloodbath!
That's equivalent to the law enforcers being killed by the criminal's brothers and friends. If a river of blood doesn't flow from top to bottom, wouldn't the exorcism house be a joke?
If not, who in the Exorcism House would dare to wield a knife and execute the law? !
So He could only do so.
The second sentence is also true, but the old ox will not receive Tianpeng’s protection.
As a warrior of the Exorcist House, exposure of his identity would bring about extremely direct consequences, not to mention Qi Wuhuo.
As his friend in the eyes of everyone.
There is no need to say much about the fate of the old ox. This is also the reason why the old ox was frightened and immediately moved away when he saw Yun Qin and the warrior general of the Exorcism Institute traveling together that day.
The old ox's friends will gradually distance themselves from him. The ox, who used to call friends and take this as the greatest pleasure in life, will become lonely and disliked. This is the killing of the heart. At that time, there are only two paths before the old ox: either break with the devil, or be killed for making friends with the devil.
He asked him to look at his friends, the old ox and his family, who were attacked for making friends with him and then broke off their friendship with him.
Even so, the yellow ox must die.
It's just a slight punishment.
If you don't want this to happen, then be sensible...
**With his identity as a demon, he can use it to strike this kid down and make him deserted by his friends and relatives.
Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole knew that the people in the Exorcism House understood the meaning of this sentence, so in the end he was confident that any rational person would calm down, understand the threat and murderous intent hidden in the three words [good bull head], know who the four words [know the taste] were directed at, and understand what silence is. In the end, he was not on guard and looked at the devil calmly.
However, this guy didn't accept the threat at all and killed his incarnation with a sword without hesitation. This made the South Pole Zhu Ling Emperor furious and suspicious. Is he really a madman? ! Moreover, not only is he a madman, a killer, but he is also a tyrant? !
This kind of person only cares about himself and doesn't care about others. He is completely intimidating and the most difficult to deal with.
Even threats against him would not only fail to hold him hostage, but would also bring about crazy revenge from such people.
"A tyrant who kills talents..."
"What a devil."
Emperor Zhuling of the South Pole whispered in his heart, feeling faintly afraid. He glanced at the old ox, but no longer cared.
Can't be used to fight the devil, this old cow is of no value at all.
Not threatened or coerced at all.
The old ox has lost its value.
Killing is useless.
Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole considered whether this **demon in front of him was considering using this method to "save" the old ox, but he immediately gave up this possibility. Otherwise, this **demon could still make a calm judgment in his anger and thought of this method to save the old ox, and he was extremely resolute and confident without hesitation;
Otherwise, he is a natural born killer.
Who else could be the warrior of the Exorcist's House?
Of course they are all killers!
The young Taoist looked at the man in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand holding the sword was as steady as iron.
I know that this sword was not cut wrong.
In his dream, the young Taoist was actually a ruthless dictator with no father, no mother, no wife and no children!
He was too familiar with such things. Compromise would only make the other party worse. This was the only way to protect his friends.
As a member of the Exorcist Institute, the first lesson taught to him by the Great True Lord Tianpeng was not to reveal his identity, and what level of danger exposing his identity would bring to his friends. However, the sudden and straightforward threat from the Emperor made the young Taoist suddenly understand.
Why, when executing Emperor Donghua, even the resolute and fearless General Lei hesitated for a moment, allowing himself to take the lead? Is this the reason...
"What a killer..."
The voice of Emperor Zhuling of the South Pole rose in the heart of the young Taoist.
"You have humiliated Donghua, and you have humiliated me."
Qi Wuhuo answered from the depths of his soul, his tone indifferent:
"Humiliation? He broke the law himself, admitted his guilt, and deserved to die."
Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole: "But you shouldn't step on his back and make him kneel down."
The young Taoist replied:
"I sentenced him to kneel before the beheading platform and behead him. He refused the sentence and stood up again. I am the one who enforces the law and supervises the execution. I must complete the beheading again."
"If He doesn't kneel, I will make Him kneel."
"If you don't kneel, your limbs will be broken and your collarbone will be pierced with chains. This is also within the Heavenly Law."
Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole laughed in surprise: "You? You are worthy!"
"It's just a dog from the exorcism house."
"You really don't understand, you are a creature born after death... How can the Heavenly Law be imposed on the Emperor?"
"Between heaven and earth, there is an orderly hierarchy and distinction between the noble and the humble."
"The emperor has his own way of dying, and he also has his own dignity. He had already decided to die, among the immortals, dying under the sword of the Jade Emperor. This is the way to die for an emperor who seeks the truth. At the very least, he should die under the sword of the Northern Emperor or the sword of Tian Peng. He should not be beheaded by a person like you who is as insignificant as an ant!"
"How dare you deprive him of the right to die upright on his own path as an emperor?"
"How dare you trample on the dignity of the Emperor!"
"I am deeply angry about this, and you still dare to ask him to kneel down?"
"How dare a mere acquired being attack the innate emperor?"
The young Taoist held the sword, feeling a little absurd: "...acquired creatures...innate creatures..."
"Him, the Emperor? No mistake?"
Emperor Zhuling of the South Pole said:
"He died in pursuit of the truth, at the hands of Haotian's reincarnation, so he was the Emperor."
The young man refuted coldly: "Seeking the truth but going against the will of heaven, causing the suffering of all living beings?! Is it the Emperor?"
The emperor frowned, and stood on the peaceful and free thirty-third heaven, surrounded by rosy clouds, and then said lightly:
"Seeking the truth requires a price."
"The life of an ant is but a speck of dust on the road, which can be swept away with a flick of the sleeve."
“Besides, they are born early and long for death, just like ants, pigs and dogs. They just died decades ago. Donghua did not do anything extreme. He showed mercy to them when they were seeking the truth and allowed them to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. But just because of these ant-like things, Donghua has damaged the dignity of a great emperor…”
"He was wrong, he deserves to die."
"But his fault was only in his disobedience to the Jade Emperor!"
"Seeking the truth is not wrong!"
The voice of Emperor Zhuling of the South Pole was calm, echoing in the Taoist heart of the young Taoist with an extreme purity. He was really angry that the young Taoist stepped on Donghua's back and made him kneel in front of all living beings to be punished. He was so arrogant that this view could almost be said to be engraved in his bones.
I feel that even if Donghua did something wrong, he is still the emperor after all, and he should die with the dignity and manner of an emperor. It shouldn't be like this.
He really thought so and firmly believed that it was right.
There is nothing wrong in killing tens of millions of people to achieve my goal.
After resisting torture, he was beaten back to his knees and beheaded. No way!
My brother made a mistake, which was only a disobedience to the Great Celestial Lord. You should have spit out blood and retreated like the first executioner, and then watch the Emperor complete his final journey respectfully and without any disrespect.
The young Taoist suddenly felt a huge gap that emerged from race.
A little dust...
There is nothing wrong in seeking the truth.
The emperor has the dignity of an emperor.
Just a tiny bit of dust, it is already compassion...
For someone like you, dying as a trace on the Great Emperor's path to the truth is already glorious enough.
Not crushing your soul and allowing you to reincarnate is already a mercy from the Great Emperor. Not only do you not appreciate it, you even dare to come to execute you. The Great Emperor has already pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. He resisted punishment only for the sake of seeking truth and dying. He begged the Great Emperor to die in a dignified way, not to die at the hands of an ant. How dare you chase him and complete the punishment?
How dare you?
How dare you?
Shouldn't the weak kneel on the ground, begging for the mercy and compassion of the Emperor of Heaven?
He has already pleaded guilty, what else do you want?
Even the emperor on the opposite side felt that this was something that had naturally reached its limit.
But it is this kind of purity that is even more terrifying.
少年道人握着剑的手掌微微颤抖，眼前所见，亲身经历过的两次炼狱般的人间浮现在眼前，断臂的玄甲军，被当做肉一样用钩子刺穿了双手手腕，挂在了空中的人体，还有锅子里面煮着的孩子断臂，死去的老龙王，死去的地祇，最终化作了这清净自在的天宫之中，祥云流转，帝君平平淡淡的一句话。
不过些许灰尘。
是只有这位在这样想……
还是大量先天生灵的神仙都这样想？
一股来自于【人】的杀机在他的体内翻腾着，明明是仙人的体魄，却让他有一种气血翻腾到了几乎要呕血的程度，之前的他是为了复仇，为了公道，是为了不甘而持剑行走，眼下出现在心底里的，则是作为一个人，至极纯正的杀机。
这杀机不是针对于眼前的南极朱陵大帝。
甚至于还有一种，放眼四望，持剑悲怆的无力。
不知为何，少年道人的真身之中，那居中调和的元始祖炁一顿，轰然散开来。
【紫微帝炁真经】。
【大地之炁】。
两股玄妙无比，方才还在徐缓地流转的炁，也是那位元营元君娘娘所说天地炁的平衡忽然被打破了，不再平和，不再徐缓，而是以一种最为暴烈的姿态开始流转，紫微帝炁真经失去了天之高渺，大地之炁散开了地之宽厚。
但是却不曾炸裂少年道人的身躯，而是以一种奇诡之姿态融合在了一起。
以杀机！
杀！杀！
天发杀机，移星易宿！
地发杀机，龙蛇起陆！
此刻，人发杀机也！
先天一炁境的根基，就此重新完成，纯粹的杀机凝聚，尽数逆转，皆是杀伐之相，而那柄封印在鞘中的血河剑，安静沉寂的古琴，此刻似乎剑鸣于鞘，而琴音发于中，明明是温和的少年人，体内却仿佛凝聚了这至纯的杀伐功体。
南极朱陵大帝后背发寒，恍惚间看到眼前面目遮掩的少年道人眸子冰冷下来。
恍惚之中，仿佛眼前并非是角逐火德星君之位时候的少年化身。
而是那穿墨金锁子甲，紫玉冠，脚踏登云靴，披玄武战袍，双鬓斑白，带青铜色面具的杀星在注视着自己，眼睛漠然平静，却又激**着前所未见的杀机，此杀机比之于北帝更厚重，比之于大地更霸道，却又苍茫沉静，持剑漠然道：
“大帝是否忘记了。”
少年的**魔回答：
“本座斩东华。”
“玉皇，称善。”
南极朱陵大帝瞳孔收缩，一种震怒升腾，在北帝和南极长生大帝交谈的时候，正是玉皇大天尊的一声善打断了这，也就是说，这持剑行刑的**魔所做的一切，玉皇大天尊非但觉得并不不可，甚至于，赞赏有加。
少年**魔持剑漠然：“也就是说，东华帝君，就该被你眼中的后天生灵踩在背上，跪在他杀害那些生灵的方向，然后被我斩首。”
“他该。”
“所以，大帝是否也是如东华一样，忤逆玉皇为罪？”
“还是说，堂堂大帝，‘忘记了’玉皇大天尊称善于我，只看到了我这后天生灵？”
“另外，你方才威胁吾。”
“今日之事，吾会上禀驱邪院，言道大帝因吾执法而寻隙复仇，欲行威胁之举。”
南极朱陵大帝心中一震。
祂窥见老黄牛和这**魔关系似乎莫逆，故而欲要以老黄牛要挟，本来认为，老黄牛还在，这**魔心中顾及，自是会被他制衡，哪怕是禀报天蓬，天蓬也最多惩祂，等祂回来自会拿着那老黄牛撒气，但是却万万未曾想到。
所有人都看错了，认为是一个秉公执法的中天北极**魔。
其实是一个，根本没有好友和在乎之辈的独夫！
是疯子！
那般纯粹杀机，毫无遮掩。
南极朱陵大帝沉默，忽而开口淡笑道：“无妨，好杀气！”先前的火部和斗部的诸神半晌不敢说话，只是看着这两位彼此对视，而后那少年道人身上突然绽放出了前所未有的，既雄厚又霸道的杀机，更是让人的心底都打颤了。
此刻开口，倒像是在说刚刚战斗的时候无妨。
但是不知为何，那种沉静的，翻卷起来的杀机却越发地霸道起来。
南极朱陵大帝拂袖散去了，而后化作火光，从容离去，威胁一个驱邪院战将而已，又不曾真的做出什么事情，便说是口角，晾他天蓬做不出什么事情来。
而一片死寂之中，少年道人抬起头，已看不到了那黑衣大道君的身影，只在敬畏惊惧的注视下，拿到了火德真君之印玺，而后微微抬眸，刹那离去。
半晌无人言谈。
老黄牛疑惑于少年为何不和自己说话，而后忽而明悟。
“怕牵连我？”
眼睛微动，明白无惑的意思，于是满脸的后怕，道：“这，这小家伙，怎么会是这样大的杀心杀性啊，可是吓死老牛了！”众人这才稍微放缓神经，道：“老牛你不认得他？”
老黄牛苦笑道：“我老牛的朋友太多了，有些只是喝过一杯。”
“哪儿知道啊。”
“我就是看到他出来，这是个大商机，能挣钱啊。”
“啊呀可真是吓死老牛了！”
“这朋友多也有朋友多的不好……”
众都理解，这完美符合了老黄牛的秉性和经历，旋即安慰起这老黄牛起来。
……
少年道人未曾离开，而是出现在了一个地方，眼前所见是威严沉重，且缄默的北极诸圣之一，天猷大真君，大真君看着他，感觉到了少年道人的杀机潜藏，言简意赅道：“天蓬大真君注意到了朱陵的动向，遣我来此盯着。”
“朱陵不敢对你直接下杀手，但是有可能会害了你的根基本体。”
“发生什么了？”
少年道人将先前事情和盘托出。
天猷大真君沉默，安慰道：“无妨，你这样的话，他是不会再做什么了。”
“是你最后打断了东华向玉皇求死，让他跪向人间斩首，激怒了他们。”
“他们大概觉得，你这样的举动对于先天生灵所化的帝君是折辱，甚至于并非只是因为折辱东华，而是觉得你这样折辱了他们【先天生灵】，是你打了这所谓的先天生灵的脸，但是**魔可有感悟？”
少年道人沉默，回答道：“我是锦州人，锦州离乱，人间炼狱，是以我入驱邪院，愿为斩东华之人，是我认为众生平等；而朱陵认为我斩东华，让东华跪向人间是耻辱，因而在他的世界之中，我是大罪之人，故而他要对我出手。”
“又因为天蓬大真君的存在而不能明着动手，只能在此逼迫。”
“若我展露身份，则牛叔被欺压落难乃至于被杀；若我不展露身份，则牛叔为我的把柄，会被他人任意操控。”
“复仇为至公大义。”
“我自认无错，在他眼中，他亦无错。”
天猷大真君道：“是。”
“而第二劫纪的时代，诸神都是这样的性格，认为以力横压一切。”
“凡人生灵乃至于其余仙神，因为强者求道仪轨而死，是‘死得其所’，凡人胆敢拔剑复仇，那就是‘忤逆苍天’，那个时代很混乱，也出现了大量凡俗的英雄不惜代价的弑杀仙神，混乱而恐怖，大日都陨落。”
“若是在第二劫纪，今日的朱陵就不会这样‘温和’的威胁，而是以你最痛的方式报复回去，你因锦州被害而拔剑，他就会在今日焚尽天下的十州之地，杀尽锦州之劫的十倍之人报复回来，是所谓伤我好友者，十倍以偿还之。”
“至情至性，至纯至道。”
“是昊天大天尊压制了一切，创造了天庭镇压这些【以力纵横】的强者。”
“所以，我等才甘为昊天之道而为驱驰。”
“才将驱邪院内部的功勋唤作为功德，其实并无功德，秩序就是残酷的，唯强者上，昊天大天尊……其实是一位强大却又能怜悯苍生的神，如同天空，永远庇护苍生，也因此，祂其实一直面对着很大的压力，只是死亦不退。”
“最终陨落。”
“北帝以驱邪院镇压昊天失落的岁月。”
“直到祂历劫归来，化作了玉皇……”
齐无惑在接触到了先天神圣的思想和理念之后，终于切身体会到昊天的决意。
似乎也慢慢能稍微理解，为何老师要游历世界了。
而天猷大真君难得温和，道：“虽然并不美好，但是我等就是维系这个残酷世界平衡的最后一环，继承了昊天大天尊理念之中酷烈的一面，**魔，欢迎来到真实的天庭，一个以层层的权柄和权能来镇压着上古魔神们野心的炼狱。”
“也是一个曾经让昊天大天尊不惜赴死也要完成的理想之地。”
“至于朱陵……放心，**魔。”
"For a person who believes that those in high positions are everything and who uses force to do whatever he wants, we should naturally respond with their logic. If he thinks that you killing Donghua is a humiliation, then we can also say that he provoked you, which is also a humiliation... However, he is only making verbal threats after all, and the Exorcism Institute cannot do anything about it."
"The only thing is that he was unlucky and picked the wrong person to threaten you with."
"Um?"
The young Taoist was puzzled.
…
Emperor Zhu Ling of the South Pole looked at the man with his wings spread out in front of him with an indifferent expression. He sneered and said, "Exorcism Court is really so powerful. Why, I had a little quarrel with the devil because of the death of my friend, so you want to punish me?"
Yisheng, the only one among the saints of the North Pole who was born as an afterlife, laughed casually: "How could it be!"
"My Exorcism Institute is a reasonable place."
"Yes, how could the Emperor have committed such a great sin?"
A gentle voice, behind Yisheng, Ziwei Zuofu Xingjun, who had previously attacked Qi Wuhuo, smiled and raised his eyes, his five fingers slightly opening and closing. The previous conversation between Zhu Ling and the **demon's soul was actually recorded by this strange and unpredictable Beidi adjutant, and then he said with a smile, understating it:
"After all, you just want to save the life of this generation of Beidizi protector."
"Threaten the warriors of the Exorcist's House."
“That’s all.”
