Chapter 70 The demon hunter is not the demon (30 end)
"I will try my best to stop them, and you will protect the twenty-nine cities in the Western Regions." The Nine-Cloud Fox Demon made the decision immediately.
But unless he has the ability to teleport, with the speed of the Nine-Cloud Fox Demon, by the time he rushes back, the monsters will have already left Jinge's lair, and they can only meet in the middle of the journey.
The desert is too vast. It is impossible for the Nine Cloud Fox Demon to kill all the scattered monsters alone. There will always be some that slip through the net and escape.
The situation was urgent, so Shi Sui and Jiuyun Fox Demon immediately went to Princess Wenzhu to explain.
"Princess Wenzhu, don't worry. The Nine Cloud Fox Demon will intercept the big ones. As for the small monsters that managed to escape, I will destroy them. They will never invade Huitou Village!"
After the explanation, the two decided to act separately.
But Princess Wenzhu, who was half lying on the bed, called them to stop.
"If the Nine Cloud Fox Demon could return to the Jinge Desert in an instant, wouldn't that be a hassle? He alone could block the monsters' escape route at the source, right?"
Shi Sui frowned. "The monsters have just started to move out, that's true, but..."
Princess Wenzhu pursed her lips and took out the monster contract from under her pillow!
Princess Wenzhu stared at the golden eyes of the Nine Cloud Fox Demon and asked him questions word by word.
"This thing can allow you to return to the Jinge Desert immediately, right? I don't understand anything about monsters or magic powers. But I clearly remember that when I summoned you for the first time at the age of seven, you appeared in front of me instantly."
Princess Wenzhu guessed right.
This monster contract was signed under the auspices of a high monk. Yes, the same monk who connected the twenty-nine cities of the Western Regions into a giant magic circle.
The reason why the Nine Cloud Fox Demon was able to teleport to Princess Wenzhu was because of the magic power left by the monk in the monster contract.
Shi Sui advised her: "Princess Wenzhu, the situation is not as serious as you think. We are fully capable of handling it——"
"I know, and I believe you, but..."
Princess Wenzhu clenched the monster contract tightly, and the veins on her hands were all bulging.
"Everything started because of this monster contract. If we keep it, it will only cause further disputes in the future. It's better to let it disappear from now on... Nine Cloud Fox Demon, you have long since repaid the Bu family for saving your life."
Princess Wenzhu finished speaking slowly, and Jiuyun Fox Demon and Shi Sui were silent.
She is at the end of her life, saying goodbye to the Nine Cloud Fox Demon!
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon's calm golden eyes were now flickering left and right, and he was speechless.
But he was speechless at this moment, not because he was cold, but because he was shocked!
...He couldn't understand, but he chose to respect.
A resolute look that had never appeared before appeared on the face of the Nine Cloud Fox Demon.
He suddenly walked up to his daughter, Princess Xiaojin, and put his hand on her head.
Princess Xiaojin looked confused.
The Nine-Cloud Fox Demon narrowed his eyes, growled, and red flames and golden light surrounded his body, and his hair and nine tails flew into the air.
He opened his daughter's Tianlingxue and forcibly poured his demonic power into Princess Xiaojin's body through her arm.
Soon, Princess Xiaojin was also covered by a layer of dazzling golden light.
The room was orange and red, as if it was on fire.
After the sound that sounded like thunder, the golden light gradually dissipated, and Princess Xiaojin's body began to develop again. She had grown from a 6-year-old child into a young girl in her prime!
"I've given you one-tenth of my demonic power. Stay with your mother and protect her."
This is the longest sentence Jiuyun Fox Demon has ever said to his daughter as a father.
Princess Xiaojin felt the power filling her body. In the blink of an eye, she was able to naturally use her demonic power to hide her ears and nine tails, completely transforming into a human form. Aside from her golden eyes, she looked no different from an ordinary human girl.
When Princess Wenzhu saw this scene, tears filled her eyes.
What she was most worried about was the young Xiao Jin.
But now, she can be said to have no worries.
“Thank you for appearing in my life…”
Princess Wenzhu choked up and opened the monster contract.
"Namo Marichi Bodhisattva, I, your disciple, protect my guru and pray for your help, to dispel all misfortunes... Nine Cloud Fox Demon, I, Princess Wenzhu, with the blood of the descendants of the Bu family, order you to return to the Jinge Desert immediately and eliminate your karma!"
When the spell ended, the monster contract and the seal on the Nine Cloud Fox Demon's chest emitted a dark red light at the same time.
As the three women watched, the Nine Cloud Fox Demon's body transformed into countless glittering sequins and disappeared into thin air.
Disappeared along with him was the monster contract in Princess Wenzhu's hand...
…
Shi Sui first rushed to move the magic weapon back to its original place and restored the barrier, then squatted on the sentry's lookout tower and watched the fierce battle in the Jinge Desert from afar.
All night long, lightning and thunder roared over the Jinge Desert. A terrifying evil wind blew the yellow sand into the sky, forming dozens of sand-like tornadoes that devoured everything in their path.
At daybreak, the fighting gradually subsided.
No monsters were found escaping, so it was assumed that the Nine-Cloud Fox Demon had the situation under control.
Shi Sui returned to Princess Wenzhu's room, but found the maids gathered outside the room, all with white scarves covering their heads.
Her heart tightened on the spot.
Sure enough, after entering the room, Shi Sui saw Xiao Jin lying on the head of Princess Wenzhu's bed, sobbing.
Princess Wenzhu passed away peacefully just two hours ago.
In her hair was pinned the withered big red peony that the Nine Cloud Fox Demon had given her personally.
Don't laugh at me wearing flowers in my white hair, time never defeats beauty...
…
Princess Wenzhu left a handwritten letter before her death, appointing her daughter Princess Xiaojin to take over, becoming the first female mayor of Huitou Village and even the twenty-nine cities in the history of the Western Regions.
Shi Sui stayed in Huitou Village for another half a year, teaching her to read and helping her deal with several cousins who wanted to compete for the position of city lord.
Xiao Jin is indeed talented in governing the country and will soon be able to handle affairs independently.
Seeing that the situation was set, Shi Sui ignored Xiao Jin's attempts to keep her, said goodbye to her and resolutely left Huitou Village.
…Tokiho returned the body to the demon exorcist.
He also gave her the dozens of gold bars and a box full of glass beads that Xiao Jin had given him.
But what made the demon hunter most happy was that after Shi Sui used her body, her magic power increased significantly!
At the same time, Shisui also sighed.
"Trouble arises from excessive desire, and the human heart is unpredictable. As a demon hunter, it's easier to deal with demons..."
