Under the glow of the sunset, the two snakes closed their eyes, their seven-inch cavities rising and falling, their breaths drawing in all the glow that enveloped them.
The crowd of onlookers were all astonished as they watched the shimmering glow of the sunset on the mountaintop.
The radiant glow is Heaven's reward to the demon race for helping them overcome the tribulation of lightning. It not only heals demons injured during the tribulation, but also expands their meridians and purifies their demonic essence. Furthermore, it greatly enhances their strength.
Those present were all cultivators with keen eyesight. They had seen the afterglow of calamities before, but they had never seen it so intense that it enveloped the entire mountain.
The group looked at each other, bewildered.
After a long while, an elderly man in a yellow Taoist robe emerged from the crowd. He focused his gaze, took a deep look at the mountaintop, and then took a step, preparing to go up to the top to see what was going on.
He had just taken two steps when a sharp eagle cry suddenly rang out in the sky, followed by a dark shadow looming over them.
"No one is allowed to cross the boundary." A deep, cold voice rang out as soon as the shadowy figure arrived.
A group of people looked up and stared.
"Protector Huo, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to protect that snake?" The old man in the Taoist robe paused in his steps.
Huo Fei's identity is not a secret in either Taoism or Buddhism; anyone with a little information knows that he is a protector of Buddhism.
Although people had reservations about his identity as a demon, they never dared to make any comments. When they met him, they would all call him Protector.
Huo Fei spread his wings and hovered in the sky: "He has successfully transcended the tribulation and is no longer a snake. Before he transforms into a dragon and soars into the sky, I will kill anyone who crosses the line."
Although Huo Fei was born with a Buddhist nature, he did not hesitate to kill.
After all, it was the Buddha of Killing who guided him to Buddhahood, and which of the Buddhas of Killing in Luohan Temple didn't have blood on their hands? Even in this day and age, they all had the blood of demons and monsters on their hands, not only that, but also the blood of some who had fallen into evil ways.
“Protector Huo, you should think twice. As far as we know, that snake that is undergoing tribulation came from the Demon Prison. Everyone has seen his tribulation lightning. Once he transforms into a dragon, his strength will only increase. The prison can no longer restrain him. If we do not eliminate him now while he is weak, it will be difficult to make a move after he has absorbed all the radiance.”
Another Taoist priest stepped forward from the crowd.
This Taoist priest had sharp eyebrows and a stern face, making him appear extremely dignified. He was Gu Daozi, the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and was highly respected within the Taoist community. As soon as he spoke, those around him immediately echoed his sentiments.
"What Sect Leader Gu said is very true. Protector Huo cannot be protected, lest it cause future trouble."
“That prison, every demon locked up there was imprisoned for committing a crime. Now that he has become powerful, the prison can no longer hold him... Look at the lightning tribulation just now, once he transforms into a dragon, it will be difficult for us to capture him again.”
“That makes perfect sense. Protector Huo, although you are a demon, you must not forget that you are also a demon slayer. A demon slayer’s duty is to eliminate evil and uphold justice. It would be unfair to leave such a troublesome demon unattended.”
There were many different opinions, but everyone had only one goal: to kill the demon on the mountaintop while it was attracting the rosy light.
It is said that those who are not of our kind must have different hearts.
Although Huo Fei had established himself in the world, he was still an outcast, walking on thin ice. These people addressed him as a protector only because of Luohan Temple and his refusal to indiscriminately kill innocent people. But the moment he revealed his selfish motives, they would attack him en masse.
Humans have always had complex minds.
On the one hand, they need Huo Fei's strength and justice to guard the monster prison for them; on the other hand, they keep a close eye on him, fearing that he might have ulterior motives and threaten the human race.
Huo Fei coldly looked at the people below and said, "He is not a demon imprisoned in prison."
Gu Daozi frowned: "Not a demon from the prison? Then why did the lightning tribulation descend upon the prison last night?"
Huo Fei: "He was a demon who was sent to the prison for emergency treatment by a mortal police station some time ago. At that time, he seemed to have been injured by humans, and the police station sent him to the prison in order to save him."
Everyone: "......"
The situation seems to be different from what they expected.
A snake demon that was about to transform into a dragon was injured by humans?
this......
Gu Daozi: "Is this true?"
"The demons sent by exorcists are all registered with the Special Security Bureau. If you don't believe me, you can check. This snake demon was sent from Fuding Mountain. You can check it out in the town at the foot of Fuding Mountain as well," Huo Fei said confidently. He wasn't afraid of them checking at all, after all, Luo Mang was indeed sent to prison because of his injuries.
Upon hearing this, Gu Daozi's stern face relaxed slightly: "He is indeed a good demon. In that case, let's not disturb him and wait for him to transform into a dragon before discussing this further!"
