Chapter 74: Beheading the Blood Demon and Enforcing Justice on Heaven's Behalf

  "Yingqiong, did you remember what I told you?" Yi Chu said in a low voice as he walked ahead of Li Yingqiong.

  "Remember, remember! Easy brother, you've said it dozens of times already, don't say it again. I won't tell anyone that I got the white jade wheel, and even more so, I won't tell anyone that you have a golden halberd in your hands. Alright?" Li Yingqiong rolled her eyes, looking somewhat impatient.

  It's not surprising that Li Yingqiong is getting impatient, this matter has been going on for a while, and even Yi Chu himself feels a bit tongue-tied. From the day he killed Qingmu Shangren to now, he has been constantly reminding Li Yingqiong. At first, Li Yingqiong could still guarantee that she wouldn't say anything with conviction, but after dozens of repetitions, it's indeed getting a bit numb.

  Looking at Li Yingqiong's carefree appearance, completely like a young man who doesn't know the taste of worry, Yi Chu felt envy and joy in his heart. However, that Golden Spear and White Jade Wheel were like two hot potatoes, making him extremely cautious. Although he didn't know the origin of the Golden Spear and White Jade Wheel, just from their suddenly explosive power, it was clear that these two objects were absolutely not ordinary items!

  Wearing the crime on his head, this sentence is easy to understand now, but it's a pity that he and Li Yingqiong have been intercepted by many Jianghu figures for the sake of a Dēng Xiān badge. If the news of Jīn Gē and Bái Yù Lún spreads out, I'm afraid those who will intercept them are those powerful cultivators with extensive connections.

  "Brother Yi, look! We're almost on flat ground!" Li Yingqiong shouted loudly towards Yi Chu as she gazed at the not-too-distant flat land.

  Seeing the flat ground, Yi Chu's heart was also filled with joy. After leaving Longtan Mountain and walking for another ten days, they would be able to reach Huatian Mountain, where he could send Li Yingqiong to her aunt's place and fulfill his promise to Li Yinglin.

  To be honest, this escort mission was quite arduous for Yi Chu, especially when being pursued by countless people. However, the Kunlun Mountains were the location of the Tai Huan Gate's mountain gate, and Yi Chu going there had a bit of a "leading a lamb to the slaughter" feel to it.

  In order to get down the mountain as soon as possible, the two of them simultaneously shook off their fatigue and strode forward quickly in big steps.

  "Hurry up and stop." Yi Chu, who had already descended to the foot of the mountain, suddenly pulled Li Yingqiong behind him and whispered. Just as he pulled Li Yingqiong behind him, countless figures surrounded them from all sides.

  These people were monks, Taoists and laymen. One by one, they were ferocious and evil, holding sharp blades in their hands, each pair of eyes staring greedily at Yi Chu and Li Yingqiong.

  "Blood Demon, you go against the heavens and slaughter your fellow practitioners. Your crimes are heinous, unforgivable! Today, I, the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, have come to punish you in the name of justice. If you know what's good for you, take your own life now and we might spare your corpse from being torn apart. Otherwise, today these fellow practitioners will dismember you into a thousand pieces!" The red-faced leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Ma Yunfei, declared with righteous indignation, shouting loudly at Yi Chu.

  Blood Demon, not a pleasant nickname. Yi Chu listened to this nickname and secretly sneered in his heart. Looking at the proudly standing Ma Yunfei with an imposing aura, he calmly said: "You don't look like you're old enough to be senile either, how come you're so muddled? Did a donkey kick your head or something?"

  Ma Yunfei, as the leader of the Tian Dao Alliance, was also a dominant figure in the Jianghu. He had never been ridiculed like this before, and his face turned red with anger. With a cold smile, he said: "Xue Mo, for half a month now, you have been stirring up bloody storms in the Jianghu. The righteous path of our alliance cannot tolerate you. Your attempts to feign madness here are futile."

  "Slashing Blood Demon, doing justice on behalf of Heaven! Slashing Blood Demon, doing justice on behalf of Heaven!"

  As Ma Yunfei spoke, a thunderous applause erupted, with shouts and cheers filling the air.

  "Yi Da Ge is not a blood demon, he killed those people because they wanted to rob us and kill us to silence us!" Li Yingqiong's voice was shrill and used up all her strength. Although the shout grew louder and louder, it still entered everyone's ears.

  "Hmph, this blonde girl still dares to quibble, I see you with Blood Devil, and you're not a good thing either."

  "Yes, this woman must be a witch, otherwise how could they have ruthlessly attacked so many of their own kind."

  ……

  Ma Yunfei listened to the miscellaneous discussions, stretched out his hand towards the void, and these voices stopped immediately. A smile appeared on his face as red as a heavy makeup: "Two demon people, those fellow Taoists went to find you not to take your things, but didn't want such an important thing as Dengxianpai to fall into the hands of the demon way! You not only don't appreciate their kindness, but also killed them all. It's really unforgivable. Now, you still want to say that things are black and white, splash dirty water on fellow Taoists, and slander them! Ma Yunfei is not talented, but can't let you slander the deceased fellow Taoists like this!"

  "You're talking nonsense, it's clear they want to rob us." Li Yingqiong's small face turned bright red.

  "What Ma Mengzhu said is right, we can't let these two evil demons slander the deceased fellow practitioners, they must be punished severely and serve as a warning to avenge the dead fellow practitioners."

  "Killing demons is our duty, avenging our fallen comrades by slaying the evil spirits."

  Ma Yunfei's face had a faint smile, with a hint of sarcasm, as if he was gloating. He knew that Li Yingqiong was telling the truth and he was lying. But none of this mattered, what mattered was that Ma Yunfei could turn black into white, while they couldn't!

  He, Ma Yunfei, as the leader of the Tian Dao Alliance, even if everyone knew he was lying, no one would dare to utter a word. But that girl spoke the truth, yet no one acknowledged it because her status wasn't enough.

  Ma Yunfei clearly understood in his heart that everyone knew what was going on, but they were still willing to put the hat on these two young men and women who had just entered the world, because only in this way could they use the excuse of slaying demons and monsters to compete for the title of ascending to immortality.

  Li Yingqiong was about to say something, but was pulled back by Yi Chu. He had been coldly observing these people, thinking of a countermeasure in his heart. There were at least over a thousand of these Jianghu people now, and there was no lack of masters among them. Especially the leader of the Tian Dao Alliance, Ma Yunfei, who was an eighth-grade strongman.

  "Yingqiong, have you forgotten? One cannot be too calculating with beasts. If a stupid pig makes a mistake and you try to reason with it, then it's not the pig's fault, but your own foolishness!" Yi Chu's words were as cold as ice, yet each word was like a stone that hit the ground, entering the ears of the heroes one by one.

  "This Blood Demon is going to die soon, yet he's still so arrogant! Fellow Taoists, we can't defeat the demon by fighting alone, brothers let's work together and kill him!"
