Just as the demon unleashed its power, Gu Daozi, who had been acting as an invisible man, suddenly made a move.
With a swift flick of his hand, the air distorted instantly, and a strange energy suddenly shot into the demon's lower abdomen.
The restless power of the demon's self-destruction was instantly suppressed.
Gu Daozi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and without saying a word, he immediately struck another demon with Dao Yuan.
"Hurry up and ask, my magic won't last much longer." Gu Daozi said solemnly.
What he just used was a newly devised technique. This new technique was the result of the combined efforts of the Taoist community, learned from repeated failures.
That year, they captured countless demons alive, but these demons were determined and unyielding, choosing to self-destruct whenever they could not withstand interrogation.
The self-destruction power was also quite great, and they could easily be injured if not careful. Therefore, everyone worked together to develop this new Taoist technique, specifically to deal with the self-destruction of demons.
However, this technique was newly developed, and they didn't know how long it could lock down the demon's power.
“It’s no use. Something is controlling these guys’ souls. They’d rather die than reveal any information about the demon race.” Huo Fei stopped, a look of helplessness flashing in his dark eyes.
The demon's situation had already been known to everyone through countless interrogations.
Even though they knew it would be fruitless, they were unwilling to give up. They were now outmatched, and only by interrogating the demon could they obtain the information they wanted.
Although the demon race has existed for a long time, they have always remained hidden in the shadows, rarely revealing themselves. Records about them are extremely scarce, and finding their lair with only a few clues is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
In a word—difficult!
Upon hearing this, Gu Daozi sighed deeply, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
The demon hunters can no longer afford to continue their efforts. If they don't quickly find the demon's lair and strike at its heart, and if the stalemate continues, the Taoist sect will not be able to withstand the damage and will decline from then on.
"Can't you get any answers?" Yin Huan cracked open a melon seed, a hint of impatience flashing in her dark eyes.
She frowned and said, "If we can't get any information from them, then let's just kill them. I'm too lazy to waste time with them. The world is only so big; no matter how well they hide, they'll eventually be exposed and their location will be found. It's only a matter of time."
Silver Ring has strong likes and dislikes, and she is becoming increasingly impatient with these demons.
Not only her, but Luo Mang was the same.
Huo Fei looked at Yin Huan and said, "This battle has dragged on for too long. We must start the cleanup immediately after eliminating the Demon Prince's demonic soul. If this stalemate continues, the demon slayers will not even have enough manpower to seal the demons."
The sealing requires the intervention of a powerful demon slayer. Although the demon race is powerful, they are completely clueless when it comes to formations, unable to even set up a simple Bagua formation.
Huo Fei had a clear understanding of the situation within the Demon Slayers. The losses were too great, and they were on the verge of collapse. This battle had brought the Demon Slayers to the brink of decline, and they would likely not rise again for at least a century.
Silver Ring frowned: "What sealing? If we find them, we'll just wipe them out."
"Demons are endless. As long as humanity exists, demons will continue to exist. Therefore, the only option is to seal them away," Huo Fei sighed. He also wanted to wipe out all the demons at once, but alas, it was impossible.
"Why?" Silver Ring asked in surprise, "How does the life or death of demons relate to humans?"
Silver Ring was a complete novice and knew absolutely nothing about the demon race.
"Demons are born from the inner demons of people; to be precise, they are the dark side of humanity." Huo Fei's expression was unreadable: "To completely eradicate them, we would have to kill everyone in the world."
Human nature is complex and difficult to define.
**Is not necessarily bad. Without **, how can there be development? As long as humans have needs, demons can regenerate.
"So... the so-called demons are actually created by humans themselves." Silver Ring exclaimed in surprise. Fortunately, she wasn't beyond help; with a gentle touch from Huo Fei, she immediately understood the reason.
Silver Ring turned her head and gave the only human present, Gu Daozi, a disgusted look.
Tsk tsk, he reaped what he sowed. Excessive greed has brought him big trouble.
Wait, something's not right.
Things seem to be developing in a rather strange way.
Humanity created a demon race; the demons were ambitious and wanted to take the lead, which humanity refused, leading to a love-hate relationship. The demons were ruthless, saying, "If you don't give me your house, I'll demolish it." And then... and then, she, the woman created by Nuwa to protect humanity's home, became the one who rebuilt the house.
Silver Ring's head spun around, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was being taken advantage of.
Huo Fei: "You could say that. All living beings have desires and needs. It's just that humans have stronger desires."
Yin Huan realized the key point and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Heh, there are more humans than women, does that mean Nuwa's creation of humans was flawed? And then, I became that..."
What compassion for humanity? That's nonsense.
It was clearly Nuwa's own mistake in creating humans that gave them seven emotions and six desires. Later, realizing the situation was wrong, she immediately created the character Nühui in an attempt to salvage the situation.
This tragic girl, Nü Hui, has a biological mother who is even worse than a stepmother. She will never have a good death in her next life. What a terrible fate!
What's even more tragic is that she's now using the identity of Silver Ring to do the work of a female flower... and if she doesn't do this job well, she might also die a horrible death.
Damn it, after all that scheming, I ended up being the one who got swindled.
