I remained silent. Unorthodox methods are always faster than diligent practice. Perhaps the locust tree demon will succumb to temptation and harm people in the future.
“But he hasn’t made any mistakes yet.” I shook my head, still disagreeing. “We can’t sentence him to death just because something hasn’t happened yet.”
You didn't refute me, and slowly said the second method, "Then we can only use Shalin as bait."
I paused for a moment, then asked, "Will Shalin be in danger?"
"No, I will take precautions against Shalin in advance."
I thought about it and realized that this method was feasible, but I should ask Sha Lin for his opinion first.
The body of an immortal is far more alluring than that of a demon.
I got up from You's embrace, and You pulled me by the hand and we stood up nimbly.
The land in Shalin and the local land are in the same place, where we just stopped.
"Immortal Venerable, is it done?" Sha Lin asked as he saw us return.
You shook her head, "The resentment is attached to the locust tree demon and refuses to come out. It has also become familiar with our scent and is hiding even more inside the locust tree demon."
"What are we going to do?" The local landowner sighed, his brow furrowed. "Alas, Bi Huai is really suffering now."
"Bi Huai? Is it that locust tree demon?" I noticed the local landowner's choice of words.
“That’s right.” The local land deity bowed slightly to me. “As I said before, Bi Huai never does anything bad. He has been cultivating peacefully in this place for thousands of years, benefiting the local people. He and I are old acquaintances. We often get together to play chess or something like that.”
"I see." I nodded to indicate that I understood.
Fortunately, we didn't use You's first method.
“There is another way, but I need your help.” You looked at the two people in front of her.
"Please speak, Immortal Venerable. If you can find us two, we will go through fire and water without hesitation." The local land deity was the first to express his willingness, and Sha Lin followed suit, saying he was also willing to help.
"We need you two to act as bait to lure the resentment out on its own. The body of an immortal is much more attractive than that of a locust tree demon."
Two people? You just told me it was only Sha Lin, wasn't it?
Although I was a little confused, I didn't ask immediately, thinking that You would tell us later.
"But don't worry, I will take precautions against you, and the resentment will never affect you."
"Thank you for your trouble, Immortal Venerable." The local land deity and Shalin said in unison.
"What do you want us to do?" Shalin asked first.
"You two pretended to argue and started fighting. Sha Lin was seriously injured and fell to the ground near the locust tree. Xin'er and I stayed in the shadows."
“Okay.” Shalin and the local landowner exchanged a glance and agreed to the idea.
Seeing that You had finished asking her question, I asked again, "So, should we cancel the barrier we just set up?"
If there is a barrier, the resentment will not be able to escape later.
“No need.” You shook her head. “If we suddenly remove the barrier, it will only alert the resentful forces.”
"good,"
After casting spells on both of them, You then tampered with Shalin's eyes on her own.
"Shalin, you'll see the location of the barrier in a moment. Lie down at the edge of the barrier, making sure the resentment can't reach you and don't get too close."
“Okay.” Sha Lin nodded emphatically.
"Xin'er, we two need to go over there again." You waved to me, and then said to Sha Lin and the other two, "Don't make any rash moves, wait for us here."
"good."
"Why should we go over there?" I asked, following You.
"Go ahead and say some tough words." You's lips curled into a slight smile, which shone even brighter in the sunlight.
I stared blankly at You's face for a long time before finally reacting and saying, "Oh."
You's appearance is so beautiful, I can never get enough of looking at her.
We arrived at the locust tree again, and the serene face immediately transformed into a cold and stern expression.
With a cold expression, You stood in front of the locust tree and began to lure out the resentful force again, but the resentful force remained unchanged and did not emerge.
You Leng Leng tried a few times, then suddenly let out a cold laugh, her sharp gaze fixed on the locust tree, "Don't want to come out? Then you can stay here forever."
After speaking, You deliberately strengthened the barrier with another spell.
"You'll stay here forever," You coldly sneered.
Is that all? You's one-man show was, I must say, really well-acted.
Even after You turned around, her expression remained cold and stern. She roughly grabbed my hand and led me away from the area around the locust tree.
"Xin'er, how was my acting?"
"It's really nice." I covered my mouth and chuckled. "I was startled when you came over and pulled me just now."
You also smiled, looking quite pleased.
We hadn't walked far when we saw Shalin and the local landmen.
"Can we go now?" Shalin and Tudi looked eager to go.
"Wait a little longer." You slowly shook her head. "How long has the resentment possessed the locust tree? How many people has it killed?"
“It’s been four or five days.” The local land official frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, “Nine people have been killed in the vicinity.”
"Okay." You nodded slightly without saying anything.
“Wait here for a few days.” You pointed to the local land deity. “Do not approach, and do not let anyone else approach. Stay here and guard the area. If anything happens, use this to contact me.” With that, You handed the land deity a talisman. “If anything happens, just burn it.”
“Okay.” The local landman took the item from You’s hand and nodded solemnly.
You then turned to Sha Lin and asked, "How many places in the mortal realm still bear traces of resentment?"
Shalin has been in charge of contacting the land gods in the mortal realm and compiling the amount of resentment in various places.
"Not many left." Shalin returned and took out another map from his pocket.
This map is actually a map of the mortal realm, with dense annotations covering various places. The places that You and I visited are marked with a large checkmark.
Shalin pointed to the remaining three locations, "These are the only places where resentment can be found."
I glanced at it, and the remaining three locations were not far apart, and there weren't many of them.
You nodded, "Then we'll go to these three places in the next few days to deal with these grudges."
The final decision was made, and the local land is waiting for us here.
Yu, Shalin, and I embarked on a journey to eliminate the resentment.
Fortunately, there wasn't much resentment left.
"You, do you think there might be other resentful forces that have grown up like this one?"
"It's hard to say." You nodded. "So many days have passed, they must have made quite a bit of a mess."
I sighed; it's easier to coax the resentment of the young.
I don't know how the adult resentful forces in Heaven and the Ruins of Return were eliminated.
If only we knew their method, we wouldn't be in so much trouble.
"You, should we go to the Heavenly Court first?" I tugged at You's sleeve.
"Go to the Heavenly Court?" His dark eyes stared intently at me. "You miss Luo?"
