The younger men stared in disbelief, witnessing firsthand what it meant for a face and a peach blossom to complement each other perfectly.
Qin Weiyu's expression also became somewhat solemn. It turned out to be a peach demon that was over a thousand years old and had already cultivated into a Dharma form. It seemed to be very powerful, unlike other plant-type demons.
The peach demon carefully examined everyone and spoke first: "These children are not bad, but what are you bunch of stinky Taoists doing here again, making my place dirty."
"Witch, these are the top disciples of the Azure Lotus Sect that we invited. Each of them possesses unique skills. Today, we will subdue you!" The Taoist priest did not step forward, but simply shouted loudly.
"Oh, just with a few babies?" Peach Fairy said with disdain.
All five were proud members of their sects and had never been treated with such contempt. Except for Qin Weiyu, they were all somewhat indignant. Although the other party had high cultivation, he was still a prodigy and yet he was so arrogant.
Yan Susu quietly tugged at Qin Weiyu's sleeve and asked, "Senior Sister Qin, what should we do?"
This peach demon is highly skilled, but a direct confrontation isn't entirely without its risks. The only concern is that if the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman might benefit.
Qin Weiyu glanced at Ming Xue and Qing Qiong. Although there was resentment in their eyes, there was no intention to fight. Moreover, after this investigation, the peach demon had not done anything to harm anyone. On the contrary, Mu Feng Temple was quite strange. Therefore, Qin Weiyu said, "I will not fight, nor will I help."
It means that we won't fight either of them, and we won't help either of them if they start fighting.
The five people were standing close together, and the other three also heard it and agreed with the opinion, so they remained silent and waited to see what would happen.
Seeing that the five people showed no intention of fighting, the peach demon wasn't in a hurry. She smiled and said, "You stinky Taoist priest, these five children don't know your little schemes, do they?"
Abbot Liang of Mufeng Temple looked somewhat nervous. He had originally planned that the group of young people, being reckless and impulsive, would rush up to subdue the monsters they saw. However, he did not expect that these teenagers would be so composed and show no intention of making a move.
This put him in a difficult position. In fact, if it were a different group of people, or older members of the sect, they would most likely go up and subdue the demon directly, since humans and demons are different, and there were fellow practitioners asking for help.
After subduing a demon, all the rare and precious treasures it has accumulated over thousands of years belong to the sect. For example, at the demon-subduing conference a few months later, the Palace Master of the Illusionary Spirit Palace was besieged by the five major sects simply because he hadn't provoked anyone on his own territory. Therefore, when Taoists subdue demons, they usually don't care whether the demons have committed many evils or not, but simply subdue them.
I originally thought that teenagers were easy to control, and that if they both suffered heavy losses, I could still benefit from it.
