When the villagers heard Gou Dan'er say that Ji Huaizhi was also a monster, they couldn't believe it. But when they saw that he was so frightened that he was delirious, and his clothes were even soaked and smelled bad.
Their expressions were somewhat solemn. Could it be true?
Otherwise, how could a human marry a fairy and have a child?
"I wonder how that master is doing now? He should still be fighting, right?" Shuzhuang's mother asked anxiously. "If Ji Huaizhi is really a monster, can he defeat two of them by himself?"
Once the monster is captured, her man can be restored to his original appearance.
"I don't know, monsters are all very cunning."
Why is Gou Dan so scared?
"Who knows? That monster's green face and fangs are probably too terrifying. He wouldn't say a word about the battle situation, just kept muttering that Ji Huaizhi is a monster!" Seeing Gou Dan's parents constantly burning incense in front of him, they suddenly said:
"Has Dog Egg gone mad too?"
Shuzhuang's mother kept moving around and sitting down, making others dizzy and prompting them to stop moving.
"I'm really worried about this!" Shuzhuang's mother looked at the other men and said, "Why don't we go and take a look too?"
"What's the situation over there? They're not empty-handed; they're carrying plows, rakes, and other weapons."
“We’re human, and those are demons. What would we do there? Aren’t those demon exorcists from Mount Jiutai? Wouldn’t we just be causing trouble?” Some people were too scared to go.
Look at Dog Egg's appearance.
Grandpa Ji thought for a moment and stood up: "Let's go take a look."
"The demon exorcists on Mount Jiutai are famously powerful. Let's go see if we need any help, even if we can't defeat them."
“That monster won’t let us go either. They’ll think we deliberately brought in exorcists to subdue them.”
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
Rather than waiting to be killed, it's better to take action first, otherwise they might think we're really scared.
They were actually a little scared, but also curious, especially about Ji Huaizhi. They really wanted to see him; his sickly appearance didn't seem like that of a monster.
When they arrived at Ji Huaizhi's door, they found that the signs of a fight were not obvious.
The crowd stood not far away, not daring to approach.
"Look, aren't those the master's clothes? He's collapsed?"
Yes, everyone looked at the person lying on the ground, swallowed hard, and prepared to go forward to check on them.
Everyone's hearts tightened. They all understood what it meant when the master lay down: he had lost and couldn't win.
After searching around but finding no trace of the demons, the braver ones stepped forward. The sight before them startled those behind them, and some even ran away. But when they realized nothing was wrong, they cautiously approached again.
"Why are you making such a commotion? Are you trying to lure the monster here?" Grandpa Ji scolded angrily.
The man didn't react, but turned around trembling, too frightened to utter a single word.
Everyone's hearts sank, and they went over to take a look.
The demon hunter had a huge hole in his chest, and his heart was gone.
When people saw his terrible condition and the huge hole in his chest, they took a step back in fright, and some even collapsed to the ground because their legs went weak.
The person had long since stopped breathing.
Some people were so frightened by the horrific scene that they cried, while others vomited; it was the first time they had ever witnessed such a sight.
In this light, Shuzhuang's father and the other insane people were quite lucky; at least they weren't killed by the monsters.
"This... is too cruel."
"Is Ji Huaizhi really a demon? Then we've lived with him for so many years?"
"Yueyue!"
"What should we do? Will the monster massacre the village?"
Some people were already crying in fear, staring blankly at the exorcist lying on the ground.
If even exorcists can't do anything, what are ordinary people like them supposed to do?
"We shouldn't have let that exorcist do it. We could have just pretended not to know. We've been in the same village for so many years and no one has ever been killed by a monster. Now we've offended them, and we don't know if we'll even survive tonight."
"That's right, nothing's been wrong all along, has it?"
Someone said this while crying.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shuzhuang's mother: "She's the one who found these exorcists."
"That's a demon! Aren't you all happy to know the blind man's identity?" Shuzhuang's mother didn't expect them to blame her now.
"You're the ones who said you could only get a good night's sleep if you destroyed this demon!"
"Alright, stop arguing." Grandpa Ji looked at Ji Huaizhi's courtyard: "It seems that the couple is no longer here."
"Will they come back?" Shuzhuang's mother sobbed, "Then will my husband go insane?"
"At least he's not dead!"
During the argument, the boy in black and the man with white hair suddenly appeared, followed by other disciples. They were watching the villagers in front of them.
"Chizuru," the white-haired man called out to his disciple.
As Qianhe and the other disciples approached them, Grandpa Ji and the other villagers took a step back in fright: "Ah! A monster has arrived!"
Those who were timid ran away immediately.
Chizuru raised her hand and created a barrier to prevent them from leaving: "We are not monsters, and we will not harm you."
"Wait a moment, I have something to ask you in a bit."
Grandpa Ji was so frightened that his legs trembled.
When did these people appear?
An invisible wall appeared in the air, and those who ran slowly could not leave.
Everyone huddled together, watching them warily and anxiously.
"Are they human or demon?"
"I don't know. The one in black said they weren't monsters, and it seemed like he was looking at the blind man's corpse."
Someone who saw the white-haired man burst into tears: "He still says he's not a demon, but his hair is so white, what else could he be but a demon?"
The exorcists ignored their words and observed their surroundings.
The white-haired man looked towards the courtyard not far away. A fox demon?
The image of that white figure flashed through his mind, but when he looked at the eyeless man's miserable state, he immediately rejected the thought.
It wasn't her.
Chizuru crouched down to examine the eyeless corpse.
His gaze swept over his entire body. There were still bloodstains under his tightly closed eyes, and the large hole in his chest was particularly conspicuous. He reached out and touched the blind man's body.
"They're all broken."
"Senior Brother Qianhe, he..."
"He died a horrible death; his internal organs and bones were shattered. This demon is too ruthless." Chizuru clenched her fists. "Too despicable."
The blind man died a painful and tragic death.
His gourd and stick, which he always carried with him, were also not with him.
"Master." Qianhe stepped forward and cupped her hands: "Wumou's bones and internal organs were all shattered, and his heart is missing. He must be a monster who likes to eat human hearts."
"Go take a look inside the yard," the white-haired man said calmly.
He then looked at the villagers and said, "Ask these villagers in detail."
"yes!"
