Chapter 193 Solution
Chapter 193 Solution
Xingguo, deep in a jungle.
"Crack, crack crack..."
The two figures found a fairy that was gnawing on something in the dim light.
"Where did so many Soullings come from? That's strange."
"Hey, whatever, the more of this stuff the better, it's all our food anyway."
"That's what they say, but...!"
Ayan and Fenghua are both subordinates of the Ming King, and they are currently chasing after this Suoling.
Just then, Feng Hua suddenly pulled A Yan away.
next moment……
Boom! !
A red energy formed from spiritual power fell down, instantly blasting the demon to death, leaving it without a complete corpse!
Thick smoke billowed, and sand and stones flew everywhere.
A figure looked down from the void, glanced in the direction of the two people, and turned to leave.
"Gulu..."
"Ahem, who is this?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be the healing type that Ming Wang was looking for two years ago."
"Laojun's disciple? Wasn't that a woman?"
"No, it's another one. This guy is rumored to have become an immortal, and..."
Feng Hua's gaze was solemn as he looked at the huge crater blasted out in front of him. As for the Soling, it had long since been reduced to nothing, not even a trace remained.
Ayan's face twitched, and she pointed at the large pit in front of her, "Are you sure this is a healing system?"
"Two years ago, there was a rumor that he was the one who escaped from the northern region of Naga. There was also another rumor that he went around challenging powerful fairies who had become immortals, and even chased and beat up divine beasts... He was a complete monster."
"Uh... then why didn't he come looking for us?"
Feng Hua, "...(sweat)"
Why else? They think we're too weak.
"What do we do now? This person is also killing Suoling. Should we tell Ming Wang?"
After thinking for a moment, Feng Hua nodded and told King Ming about it.
The response they received was, "Never mind him. Also, come back first and don't hunt anymore."
"……Yes."
Despite her doubts, Feng Hua nodded and returned to Youdu with A Yan.
……
Meanwhile, Wuxian also successfully arrived at Lanxi Town, found Mayor Wang, and told him that he wanted to find Lao Jun.
Mayor Wang asked Wuxian what he wanted to see Laojun about. Wuxian hesitated for a moment, but just then, Laojun appeared with Xuanli and Qingning.
"It's okay, let's talk about it face to face."
"Hahaha! You've come at the perfect time."
"Lord Infinite!"
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Wuxian also greeted them. He naturally knew Qingning and Xuanli, and had even sparred with the latter. Their strengths were roughly equal, and they respected each other.
The group sat down in a courtyard, and Wuxian explained the purpose of their visit.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
Lao Jun neither refused nor offered to help.
Having traveled extensively for many years and gained some understanding of the affairs between demons, he comprehended the deity's position and inquired, "Is it inconvenient for Laozi to intervene?"
Lao Jun nodded, "Yes."
Wuxian pressed on, "If I kill a fairy, what rules of the fairy realm will I break?"
"No, but there might be demons seeking revenge."
"..."
"Are you trying to use my blue prediction?"
Lao Jun spoke with certainty, saying that as the strongest mind-based being, he had already seen through Wuxian's intention in seeking him out.
Lao Jun waved his hand and said, "You didn't want it when I offered it to you back then, and now it's too late."
Qing Ning and Xuan Li, "Tch~"
Lao Jun was just saying it casually, and then said seriously, "But I can't lend it to you now."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Wuxian quickly grasped the key point. "I understand."
Lao Jun was also a demon, and based on the conversation just now, he naturally understood Lao Jun's stance: he would not help demons, but he would not be too biased towards humans either; he wanted to achieve a balance between the two sides.
To balance the two sides.
Therefore, if Laozi cannot treat everyone fairly, his prestige will suffer a devastating blow, and no one will respect him anymore.
If Laozi were to continue trying to maintain the balance, it would become a joke, something Laozi would not want to see.
"Is there really no way to solve this?"
Qingning said at this moment.
With demonic calamities raging and so many people dying, she naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
Xuan Li interjected, "How do we solve this? It's useless as long as you don't kill them, but we can't kill them either. Even if we step in to stop them, we're not in the right."
After a moment of thought, Qingning understood the key point. She and Xuanli were both Laojun's people, so they naturally knew what Laojun was considering.
Immediately, Qing Ning's eyes lit up, a flash of inspiration appearing in her mind, "It might not have worked before, but now we have the Infinite Master."
Infinite, "Me?"
"Ah."
Qingning nodded and explained, "Master and Brother Gou can't harm fairies because of the rules, but Lord Wuxian isn't restricted, so he can do it. Master can't openly help him, but..."
Lowering her voice slightly, Qingning continued, "But Master can help the demons."
Xuan Li, "Hmm?"
Lao Jun took a sip of tea and said, "You scoundrel."
Wuxian finally realized what was going on, "You mean you want me to kill them until they ask Laozi for help?"
Qing Ning nodded. This was her plan. Lao Jun's Demon Spirit Hall was originally a place to protect demons, but in the past, most demons were unwilling to be governed by Lao Jun's rules.
Those are the demons who kill indiscriminately.
"It's easy to think, but reality is very complicated."
"Oh?"
"First of all, many demons are unruly and would rather die than agree to anything you say. So, should you kill them or let them go?"
Lao Jun considered things from a longer-term perspective: "Secondly, this matter has no end. I need to be involved in it all the time, but if I get involved, it will alert all the major powers and even cause greater chaos. It will also be difficult for me to extricate myself from the situation."
Laozi (the founder of Taoism) has probably done similar things before.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to come up with the current set of rules that minimize conflict between fairies and humans, and even achieve a balance among the gods.
He himself is one of the key points in this balance, and once he takes the initiative to step in, the other gods will certainly not stand by and watch.
"Does Master want to do it?"
"..."
Lao Jun paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "If we can do it without being discovered, then we will."
"Eh~"
Qingning knew that Laojun had already agreed, and then looked at Wuxian, "Where is Lord Wuxian?"
"I'm definitely willing, but I don't know if I can do it. Without the Blue Jade Plate, how can I stop the demonic calamities in various places?"
“The connection between Lan Yupan and me is too obvious. I can show you a way.”
"Oh?"
"The cave master of Qingyun Cave in Songshan also possesses the Youdi Jian, a spatial magic item, though not as good as the Lan Yu Pan, it's sufficient. There's also the Zhanling Pair Ring, the treasure of Baifeng Mountain, which allows for exchange between two locations. San'ao Longfeng Mountain has the Feilai Que, but that's not very convenient, and..."
Laozi revealed the secrets of all the demons as if they were his own treasures.
Wuxian listened attentively, taking notes silently and nodding occasionally.
"Master is very skilled."
"He clearly really wanted to participate..."
After explaining all the details, it gradually got dark.
With Laozi's support, Wuxian felt more confident.
"I have another request, I hope you will spare the lives of those demons."
"Yes." Wuxian nodded.
"If demons frequently appear, you can allocate some livestock. They rarely target only humans, so don't try to exterminate them; that will only make things worse."
"understand……"
After a moment of silence, Wuxian suddenly asked, "In recent years, demonic calamities have been rampant. Is this related to the Emperor?"
This is what he cares about. He and Emperor Xing are close friends, and together they established the Xing Kingdom.
"Have."
"!"
Wuxian was startled. "What did he do wrong, Laozi... could you please enlighten me?"
"Haha, on the contrary, it's because he did a very good job."
"Ok?"
Laozi said meaningfully, "In times of war, who would notice how many people die from demonic calamities each year?"
Upon hearing this, Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, "I see..."
He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you for your explanation, Laozi. Without further ado, I shall go first..."
"Wait!"
"Well?"
Just then, Xuan Li suddenly stood up, looking at Wuxian with fierce fighting spirit, "I've been waiting for so long, are you just going to leave?"
Qingning and Laozi exclaimed, "Oh dear~"
