"..." Rong Yu frowned.
"Young Sect Master should know that the seniors of the major sects were severely injured on Mount Kaopan a hundred years ago. The reason why the righteous and demonic paths have been able to coexist peacefully until now is because the Demon Lord has fallen into a deep sleep since the great battle. Since he is asleep, he will eventually wake up. Even though the major sects have recuperated and increased their strength over the past hundred years, they are still far weaker than they were a hundred years ago. Without the seniors in charge, how should we deal with the demon when he is reborn?"
Yang Tianhui thought Rong Yu was moved, and spoke even more passionately.
Enraged, Geng Qi scoffed, "You have slaughtered innocent people to this extent. How are you any different from the demons you speak of?"
Without the seven souls, living is no different from being dead.
Yang Tianhui said, "If we want to succeed, there will be sacrifices. They were born in Gefeng Town. Even if we don't take action, Gefeng Town will be the first to be hit when the Demon Realm makes its move. How long can they live? They will die sooner or later. We are just making their deaths more meaningful. What's wrong with that?"
"..."
When things were exposed, he no longer tried to hide anything. He put on a righteous and indignant face, but it couldn't hide their hearts that treated human life as worthless!
With a sigh for the tragic nature of humanity, Geng Qi's heart sank slightly. He looked at the Yan Dan Sect disciples following behind them and asked, "What about them? The disciples of the Yan Dan Sect, each of them has only six of their seven souls remaining. What are you trying to do by extracting their Devouring Thief?"
The Devourer of Fear is one of the Seven Souls. Without the Devourer of Fear, people do not know what fear is. When faced with danger, they will rush forward. Just like now, facing this "demon" and the young sect master of Tianzhi Sect, even though they know they are no match, no one backs down. Their faces are full of determination!
Yan Zhihe said, "This is also something I wanted to tell the young sect leader."
Geng Qi looked at Rong Yu, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
He couldn't stop Yan Zhihe from speaking. He heard him say, "When cultivators improve their cultivation and break through to advance, besides encountering bottlenecks, the most difficult part is the process of breaking through those bottlenecks. Humans have seven emotions and six desires, which makes it easy to go astray during cultivation. People only develop inner demons when they know fear. If there were no fear, wouldn't people have fewer troubles when cultivating?"
He suddenly raised his hand, making a grasping motion in the air, his expression smug, as if his action was a great masterpiece.
Geng Qi said, "If a person doesn't know fear, can he still be considered human?"
"Of course." Yan Zhihe suddenly grinned maliciously. "Young Sect Master, do you still remember why Prince Zhan of the royal family died? Why did you dare not draw your Drunken Shadow Sword? As long as you help me kill this demon, I can help you eliminate your inner demons and allow your cultivation to break through again..."
Unable to bear his disgusting, self-satisfied expression, Geng Qi interrupted him, saying, "Since this method is so effective, why don't you use it yourself? How dare a mere Nascent Soul cultivator instruct others on cultivation?"
He smiled faintly, but no one knew which words had touched Yan Zhihe's sore spot. The man's face suddenly twisted, and without saying a word, a bolt of lightning struck. Geng Qi was startled and quickly hid behind Rong Yu. With a clang, the lightning and the wind blade collided and vanished.
Yan Zhihe angrily said, "Rong Yu, don't push your luck!"
Rong Yu sheathed his Drunken Shadow Sword and held it horizontally in front of him, calmly saying, "Without drawing my sword, it's enough to deal with you."
"you……"
This is clearly a sign that Hong Guo is about to turn against them.
Geng Qi grinned and looked at Yang Tianhui, saying, "Elder Yang, I agree with what you just said. Since we're all going to die sooner or later, I'll send these puppets in your Bone Rock Cave on their way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he conjured a huge fireball in his hand and hurled it towards the stone cave. The disciples of Yan Dan Sect dodged in all directions, while the puppets without human control could only face the fireball head-on and were burned to ashes.
The fire spread extremely quickly, and Yang Tianhui was very anxious. He tried to put out the fire with a mound of earth, but Geng Qi, who was guarding the cave entrance, held him back tightly.
The puppets in this cave are not like those in Gefeng Town. These puppets are much stronger than Li Yao and the others, and their numbers are several times greater than those in the secret chamber. Yang Tianhui couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache!
Undeterred by pain, the human puppets aimlessly flailing their claws in the cave.
Outside the cave, his action became a complete disaster. The already tense atmosphere ignited instantly. The scabbard of the Drunken Shadow Sword rang out as it clashed with another spirit sword. Their spiritual energy collided, leaving a streak of light in the night sky. Nearly a hundred people surged forward, surrounding the two of them.
Geng Qi turned around and faced back to back with Rong Yu. Looking at the people around him, his peach blossom eyes were almost curved into crescent moons. He flicked out a long whip from his sleeve and knocked away several disciples who rushed up. Just as he was about to fight them, he suddenly felt dizzy.
"Rongyu..."
He only managed to shout once before he lost control and fell forward.
