Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled as well: "Hehehe, I'm glad you don't mind, Daoist. I was worried that you might be too restrained to drink it because you thought I might put something in the tea."
The advisor burst into laughter after hearing this:
"You're joking. As a demon emperor, why would I put something in our tea? I wouldn't have such a concern at all."
Then, the tone shifted, and the advisor's expression turned serious, his eyes seeming to hold the stars and the sea.
"His Highness the Demon Emperor invited us here this time, presumably because he already knows the movements of the Heaven and Earth Church and those heretics. Am I right?"
Nine-Tails' expression gradually turned serious, and he nodded meaningfully:
"As far as I know, not long ago, all five Ghost Kings of the Heaven and Earth Church made their move. The Wood Ghost King Yun Si not only led a massacre of the Taoist Association, but the Gold Ghost King Jin Ding also slaughtered all the members of the Pingtian Pavilion that I sent to Tibet, including my capable henchman, the Demon King Bao Shi."
"Furthermore, they have also recruited dangerous figures from the demon race who had fled abroad, including the Demon King Chenlang!"
"The Wrathful Wolf possesses immense power; almost the entire wolf clan are its loyal subordinates. It harbors great ambitions, and it was the first demon king to oppose the peace treaty with humanity when I established it."
"Due to disagreements, he led his tribesmen away from the demon realm and headed to Tibet."
“I sent Leopard Ten to keep an eye on them. In order to stop them in time, Leopard Ten also had several conflicts with them.”
"I just didn't expect that they would actually join forces with the Ghost King of the Heaven and Earth Church to deal with Leopard Ten. Leopard Ten died tragically at their hands."
As Nine-Tailed Fox spoke, her aura became incredibly terrifying; just by looking in her direction, one could feel the overwhelming killing intent emanating from her.
"The only ones I will never let go are Jin Ding and Chen Lang. I must personally kill this ghost and this demon, otherwise I will be letting down Leopard Ten for his support!"
President Fang then spoke up: "I have severely injured Yun Si's ghost body. She will not be able to recover to the level of a Ghost King in a short time. However, His Highness the Demon Emperor said there are five Ghost Kings. Who are the other three?"
Nine-Tailed Fox sighed and replied, "It is the Water Ghost King's Wandering Soul, the Fire Ghost King's Remnant Candle, and the Earth Ghost King's Hundred Souls."
"The wandering spirits led people to a town in the northwest. No one in the town escaped alive; they were all killed and had their souls stolen by the wandering spirits."
"I suppose none of you have received the message. After all, there are no longer any people there alive who could deliver the message."
"The same applies to Candlelight and the Hundred; they slaughter towns, using human lives and souls to sacrifice to the array, in order to destroy the Ghost Gate and summon Yin."
"The Ghost Gate has been damaged in many places, and by the time I learned the news, it was too late."
"Moreover, the locations they chose were all pre-planned. They are laying the groundwork for their next operation. I have also roughly calculated that their next operation will most likely take place during the Ghost Festival. Once their scheme succeeds, I'm afraid there will never be a day of peace in this world again."
The advisor continued, "The Ghost King is indeed troublesome, but he's not a major obstacle. He can be killed with a little effort. Is it worth Your Majesty's trouble? Could it be that there is a monster even stronger than the Ghost King?"
Nine-Tailed Fox sighed, her expression somewhat grim: "Yes, if it were just the Ghost King, I naturally wouldn't need to worry so much."
"When I say this, all of you Taoist priests should be prepared."
“I previously sent Xiaobai to infiltrate the Heaven and Earth Church, but Xiaobai only managed to get the position of a protector, which is the Twelve Zodiac Protectors.”
"The protectors had no access to the most critical information, but after Xiaobai returned to the Heaven and Earth Church for the last time, he heard a shocking secret."
"Among the twelve guardians, the Rabbit, also known as Xiaobai, has already left, and the Rat has been killed by you. What I want to say is that eleven of the twelve zodiac guardians are just a smokescreen. The most important one is actually the leader of the guardians, Chenlong!"
"Do you know what Chenlong's identity is? It's a drought demon that survived the demon-slaying operation two thousand years ago!"
"Originally, I doubted the authenticity of this matter, but after the actions of the Heaven and Earth Church this time, I am now convinced of it."
"I think I don't need to say what this means!"
"Even if I risk my life, I may not be able to completely eliminate the drought demon!"
Upon hearing Kurama's words, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment!
If this is true, then it's really troublesome!
Nine-Tailed Fox continued, "The reason why the Heaven and Earth Church has not taken any action before is that the drought demon has not yet awakened and the organization lacks a leader. That's why it has been holding back until now. But now the drought demon has awakened and is planning to become even stronger."
"The drought demon from two thousand years ago has grown to the point where it can almost rival the King of Hell. Once it becomes even stronger, who in the human and ghost realms can stop it!"
Even the advisor's expression changed at this moment, and he muttered, "If it's a wandering corpse, there's still a solution. If it's a newly born drought demon, it's not impossible to completely eliminate it."
"But if it really is the drought demon from two thousand years ago recorded in ancient Taoist texts, then we'll be in real trouble..."
Everyone fell silent; no one spoke.
I read in an ancient book that the drought demon is almost the pinnacle of zombies in the modern world. Once it evolves into a drought demon, it can no longer be considered a zombie, but a demigod.
Invulnerable to swords and spears, impervious to water and fire, capable of ascending to heaven and traversing the underworld, and also skilled in magic; once a spell is cast, not a blade of grass will grow within a hundred miles.
I never imagined that such a legendary disaster would actually happen, especially while I was still alive. I don't know how unfortunate I am.
The advisor slowly stood up and cupped his hands to the Nine-Tailed Fox: "There is no time to lose. We should make full preparations. At that time, we will ask Your Highness the Demon Emperor for your help!"
