Chapter 273
The demon king narrowed his eyes, hiding the sharpness in them, and said calmly: "You are not so easy to talk to. Tell me, what do you want me to agree to?"
Yuan Jing clapped his hands and said, "It's so refreshing to talk to the Demon King. You knew what I was thinking before I even opened my mouth. Actually, my request is not high. I just hope that you can take revenge after you leave here, but please don't vent your anger on innocent people and don't bring disaster to the people of this world."
There was a flash of surprise in Mu Yinghai's eyes, and then he understood. According to Yuan Jing's nature, he would indeed make such a request. Unlike himself, he did not have so much desire for material things. He was also gifted since childhood and would achieve great success in the future without the help of external things.
If he were in Yuan Jing's shoes, Mu Yinghai would not be able to reach such a high level, and he would feel ashamed, but he would not regret it. How could he have the mood to care about other people when his mother's revenge has not yet been avenged?
The demon king raised his eyebrows and said, "You only have one chance. Are you really not going to consider changing your request?"
Yuan Jing waved his hand and said, "No need to change. I can ask for other things myself. Senior can reach such a high level. I believe that Brother Fu and I will be able to achieve it one day through our own efforts."
Funeng nodded in agreement, as if he would support whatever Yuan Jing said. He said, "Junior Brother Jing's request is not excessive. Instead of asking us to run for you, why don't you go to the capital and see for yourself whether Taoist Ling Xiao is the bitch Qian Hua."
Each and every one of them, like the Demon King, called Taoist Qianhua a bitch.
Although the Demon King felt unhappy that he couldn't let the other person do whatever he wanted, it was more urgent for him to put an end to the bitch Qianhua with his own hands. Moreover, although Taoist Yuan Jing was young, he was more insightful and less pedantic than some old monsters.
He looked at Yuan Jing, then at the monk Funeng, and the half-demon Mu Yinghai, and suddenly showed a stunning smile and said, "Sure, as long as I can get out of here, I can agree to your request. Do you need me to swear to heaven?"
Yuan Jing also showed a nice smile, with two cute dimples, and said: "No need, I believe in the character of the Demon King. The Demon King is not a shameless villain like Qianhua who doesn't keep his word."
The demon king glanced at Yuan Jing with a half-smile, but Yuan Jing didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled pleasingly. The demon king really liked this little Taoist priest now. He waved his hand and said, "I've already agreed, so why don't you hurry up and show your performance? Don't come to deceive me in the end and make me happy for nothing. When I have a chance to go out again in the future, I won't forgive you and I won't keep my promise to you."
Yuan Jing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, senior. If I say yes, then yes. Who am I? I am a talented little Taoist priest."
"Pfft!" Mu Yinghai burst into laughter.
The demon king also laughed out loud.
Yuan Jing did not lie to the Demon King. After sorting out the entire seal and studying it for many days, he did have some ideas and was not talking nonsense to the Demon King. So after negotiating the terms with the Demon King, he devoted himself to the work of lifting the seal.
The reason why he was willing to release the Demon King was actually to prevent Master from dying a few years later. Since the Demon King was no longer around, Master wouldn't have to work with other fellow Taoists to eliminate demons and monsters. Of course, this also depended on the premise that the Demon King was not a demon that killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Yuan Jing had already used his divine eyes to carefully observe the situation of the demon king. He did not bear any sins of killing. Otherwise, if a demon king who killed innocent people was released, part of the sins of killing would eventually fall on Yuan Jing's head. He did not want to bear such a cause and effect.
There is also a third purpose. He is 100% sure that Ling Xiao the Demon is that bitch Qian Hua. It would be best to let the Demon King go. There is no need for them to deal with Ling Xiao the Demon head-on. At most, they can follow behind the Demon King and launch a sneak attack or something. It is much easier than charging in the front. Why not do it?
This can be said to kill three birds with one stone, so Yuan Jing was in a very happy mood when breaking the seal. When he was in a good mood, the breaking process was also accelerated.
Yuan Jing took great pains to change the direction of the flow of spiritual energy so that the seal could not draw the spiritual energy from the ground. He then directed Funeng and Mu Yinghai to stand in one position each, and asked the demon king in the seal to cooperate, and then the four of them worked together.
"Get started!"
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
There was a tremor of the ground and spiritual energy was released, which proved that Yuan Jing's method was feasible: "Put more effort and continue!"
Half an hour later, hearty and unbridled laughter sounded from the bottom of the mountain stream. It was the Demon King who had finally broken free from the seal and was very happy.
"Haha... Qianhua, you bitch, wait for me to deal with you! I'm going to dig out your heart and liver to see what color it is, you bitch just wait!"
In a Taoist temple in the capital, a Taoist priest who was meditating in a room suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. With a look of astonishment on his face, he shouted, "Impossible! How could the seal be broken? Who did it? Who did it? Damn it!"
The Taoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked out of the room in a hurry, then sent out several messages and flew in different directions. He could not leave the capital for the time being, but the place was sealed by several forces together in the past. Now that the seal was broken, the monster was about to come out. Could those forces just sit there and do nothing?
Who ruined his plan? He had planned carefully for many years, was he going to fail at the last moment?
No, he won't allow it!
Half a day later, Yuan Jing and his group returned to the top from the bottom of the mountain stream. The elixir contributed by Yuan Jing helped the Demon King recover some of his power, and then he flew them up. The seal was broken, and the binding force of the fog above was also reduced.
When they got up there, the demon king said, "As soon as I come out, that bitch will know and will definitely send someone to check, so you all should not stay here for long. I will be away for a while. The first thing I have to do is to restore my strength, and then I will go to the capital. If you want to see me, go to the capital and wait for me."
Then he looked at Yuan Jing and continued, "Don't say you don't want to go to the capital to see how I deal with that bitch. That bitch has done a lot of evil things over the years, right? You guys also want to deal with him, right? I know I can be of use to you, but this is what I'm going to do."
Yuan Jing immediately raised his thumbs and said with a smile: "This is the Demon King! All of us combined are no match for the Demon King. With the Demon King taking action, we will surely succeed immediately."
The demon king was amused by the boy: "Okay, stop saying nice things. Once you get these three feathers, you can contact me."
The demon king waved his hand and sent out three white feathers, then he leaped into the sky and turned into a phoenix. His figure disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Jing put the feather away and said, "Let's leave here quickly. It would be bad if we are a step late and get blocked by others."
"Yes, let's go quickly." Mu Yinghai nodded quickly.
The three of them hurried along and passed by the people who came to check the seal, but the two sides did not collide.
When he entered the city and found a place to stay, the first thing Yuan Jing did was to send a message to his master, telling him everything he had done, including the conditions he had agreed upon with the Demon King, and asked his master not to interfere in the feud between the Demon King and the bitch Qianhua.
As Yuan Jing had thought, the old Taoist priest did know that there was a demon king sealed at the bottom of Yingtan Stream. This was a secret passed down from their master, and if necessary, they would take action to eliminate the demon king. After all, if he was released, it would bring disaster to the entire cultivation world and the world.
But now the seal has been damaged. Some people nearby have gone to check. The Demon King is no longer at the bottom of the mountain stream. He has run away. Everyone who has received the news has become anxious. Once the Demon King recovers his strength, the consequences will be disastrous.
Nowadays, the cultivation world is in decline, and there are no cultivators who can match the strength of the Demon King. Whether they are Taoists or monks, we can only rely on everyone to join forces to encircle and suppress him.
Taoist Bixu and the abbot of Qingcheng Temple were chatting privately: "Now that we are old, we didn't expect that it would be a troubled time. First, people's hearts were dug out, and then children and pregnant women disappeared. Now the demon king in Yingtan Stream has come out again. I'm afraid he won't let us Taoists and Buddhists go."
The old temple master also said, "Yes, the seal over there is not weakened much, so how did the demon king escape? Could it be that someone went there and let the demon king out?"
Taoist Bixu suddenly felt a pang in his heart. If anyone could possibly go to Yingtan Stream, his disciple who was training outside would be one of them. Although Yuan Jing had not said that he was going to Yingtan Stream, according to the route he had taken, Yingtan Stream was not on that route? Others did not understand his disciple, but how could he, as a master, not understand him? His disciple had a lot of ideas in his mind.
However, if it was really done by his apprentice, then there is no need to worry too much about this matter. Since the apprentice dared to release it, it means that he recognizes the character of the demon king and it will not lead to a disaster.
So, this thing was done by his own apprentice, but it was better than what others could do, because he did not trust the character of others.
He stroked his beard calmly and said, "Don't panic yet. Send people to check for the demon king's whereabouts before making any plans."
"It's the only way. We can't slack off on other things. I hope the Taoist sect can survive this catastrophe." The old temple master was so worried that he pulled out several hairs of his beard. The bigger the Taoist sect is, the greater the responsibility it bears. For someone like Taoist Bixu, who only has a master and an apprentice, it's easier for them than him.
After Taoist Bixu came out from the abbot's place and returned to his room, he hurriedly wanted to contact his disciple. Coincidentally at this moment, Yuan Jing's flying letter arrived, and a paper crane flew into the room. The Taoist quickly opened the paper crane, and the voice of his disciple came out.
Bixu just heard the beginning and wiped his sweat. It was indeed his apprentice's doing. Did he know how much panic it caused in the cultivation world? At the same time, he was proud and proud. His apprentice was so young, but he broke the seal formation just like that.
His expression gradually became solemn as he heard the rest of the letter. When he finished speaking, the paper crane burst into flames and turned into ashes that fell to the ground. The old Taoist waved his sleeves and the ashes dispersed. He twirled his beard and began to think.
In fact, the old Taoist only had a vague understanding of the seal. He only knew that the demon king inside was very powerful and posed a great threat to humans. At the beginning, it was a human Taoist named Qianhua who led the sealing of the demon king. However, Qianhua also died because of the seal, which made people in the cultivation world at that time sigh for a while.
But the situation described by the disciple was completely different from what was passed down. If Taoist Qianhua was really the villain, then he would be playing with all the cultivators in the world in his hands. The old Taoist took a breath of cold air. The consequences would be much more serious than releasing a demon king.
Was it really done by Taoist Qianhua? As my disciple said, he really didn't leave any tricks for me? Maybe he is still alive and has great plans. Thinking of the things I found out recently and the current situation in the cultivation world, the old Taoist also had doubts about Taoist Qianhua. As my disciple said, releasing the demon king at this time might not be a bad thing.
Even if the Demon King wants to settle accounts with the forces that dealt with him in the past, it will have nothing to do with them, the master and disciple. The Liuzhuang Taoist Temple is too small and was not taken seriously by Taoist Qianhua at the beginning. It is not their turn to seal the Demon King.
If it was really a scam set up by Qianhua, it would not be excessive for the Demon King to settle accounts with those forces. Who told them to be fooled by Qianhua and not investigate what was going on? Did they harm the people and kill innocent people? Did those Taoists and monks who took action at the time not see it?
After sorting out these thoughts, the old Taoist felt relieved. He then sent a message to his apprentice, asking him not to leak the matter out and that he would keep it a secret. He then reminded him to be careful and not to be caught by others, and to write to the master immediately if there was any danger so that the master could rush to help him.
Yuan Jing received a letter from his master and told Funeng the contents of the letter. They both felt happy that they had done something bad without being caught. They also caught Mu Yinghai and told him not to reveal it to anyone.
Fu Neng said: "It doesn't matter if he reveals it. He, the half-demon, will definitely be the first to die. After all, we have a backer. We can say that it was Mu Yinghai, the half-demon, who instigated us and that we were young and ignorant."
Mu Yinghai was almost vomiting blood because of this shameless monk. He was furious and said, "Little Master, can you be any more shameless?"
Fu Neng chuckled: "Sure, want to see it?"
Mu Yinghai waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to do it at all. Besides, you also said, what good will it do me if this matter is revealed? I also hope that Senior Demon King can deal with Ling Xiao Demon Dao to avenge my mother. Why should I be so stupid as to stand on the side of Ling Xiao Demon Dao to help him deal with Senior Demon King?"
Yuan Jing then stepped out to act as a peacemaker: "Okay, we can set off for the capital and wait for Senior Demon King there first."
Mu Yinghai nodded: "Yes, we can go there first to help the senior to find out some information, and then find a place for the demon king to stay."
The three of them packed their bags and set off again. This time their destination was clear: the capital.
On the way to the capital, they met Taoist Ninghe. Taoist Ninghe pulled Yuan Jing and Funeng aside to complain that they were tired of running as there were too many things going on recently. Now, they had to track down the whereabouts and clues of the Demon King. If they really met the Demon King, would they be able to deal with him?
