He tried to persuade Heming to go back with him, to go back and explain things to the gods, to go back and shed his demonic aura and return to the righteous path.
He Ming chuckled, "Jiangdong, is God always right? Is God always a good person?"
Are demons always wrong, and all demons are bad people?
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Dong retorted.
He Ming scoffed lightly, "In Jiangdong, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Nothing is absolute."
Seeing the two arguing and hesitating to take action, someone nearby spoke up to stop them, "General, we should quickly arrest He Ming and bring him to justice. If we let him go, all our efforts will be in vain."
At that moment, Jiang Dong pursed his lips and remained silent.
A group of people behind him echoed, urging Jiang Dong to make a move quickly.
Jiang Dong struggled with his conscience, but seeing that He Ming had no intention of surrendering, he finally hardened his heart and raised his sword to stab He Ming.
The two fought fiercely in mid-air, channeling their spiritual energy to strike each other with a palm strike.
The two powerful spiritual energies collided, causing the spiritual energy halos in the air to scatter. The spiritual energy then struck the two people in the opposite direction, knocking them back.
The soldiers below were affected by the spiritual energy. They quickly raised their hands to block in front of them, using the spiritual energy within their bodies to resist the spiritual energy erupting from the sky. The spiritual energy within their bodies was thrown around wildly by the backlash from the powerful spiritual energy outside, and everyone's face turned pale with pain.
The intense clash of spiritual energy caused both of them to shudder, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths. They barely managed to regain their footing, hovering in the air very close to the ground, looking at each other.
He Ming let out another soft snort, it was unclear whether he was mocking himself or the man before him. He lowered his eyelids, "Jiang Dong, you never truly believed me."
Jiang Dong: "I believe you, but you shouldn't have fallen into demonic possession."
Upon hearing this, He Ming didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone filled with disappointment, "Is that so?"
But what did the demons do wrong? They also lived quietly in their own realms, only wanting a peaceful life and to live out their lives in peace.
But the immortals, without distinguishing right from wrong, kill any demon they see. What right do you have to decide the lives of a demon and an ordinary person?
Jiang Dong pondered for a moment, then said, "But they are ultimately evil and crooked, and will not be accepted by justice."
"Then what is justice? Our master taught us from childhood that justice is about punishing evil and promoting good, and not doing things that are against heaven and reason. If you follow it, and I follow it, what does it matter what our identities are?"
"You demon, what kind of twisted logic are you spouting? A demon is a demon, and what they do are all heinous things." A voice came from behind Jiang Dong.
Then more voices came through.
"The reason why demons are called demons is because they have done too many wrong things and are punished by the Heavenly Dao."
"Demons are causing chaos in the mortal realm, and powerful demonic energy remains at the scene. If this wasn't the work of demons, could it have been done by us immortals?"
"You fiend, what are you saying that's so bewitching? Surrender at once!"
"In the past, there have been so many wars between gods and demons. In every one of them, it was the gods who fought against the demons in order to protect the mortal world."
He Ming listened to the discussions among the crowd below, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Ha, you gods love to make everything sound so grand and noble, but do you know what those you protect have actually done?"
The people below shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? The previous Demon Lord had just ascended to the throne and did nothing, yet he was falsely accused by the Heavenly Emperor and subjected to the punishment of the Three Realms. What did he do wrong?"
He Ming looked at the nameless man in front of him who was spouting righteousness and morality with disdain in his eyes.
