"Are you trying to catch them all in one go?"
"You've misunderstood. Aragaki knows that we've relocated all the demon clan here. He just doesn't know that there's still a Barrier here."
"Why is there a Barrier?!"
Ke Lingfei took two steps back and stood in front of his fellow clansmen.
"It's no harm to tell you. We trust Court, but we don't understand Aragaki Nigaki. If he turns against us on the spot, we must either go to war or use The power of gods and demons to disrupt the alliance. How could we not be on guard?"
"Are you threatening brother Aragaki?"
"Threat? Not really. Just making preparations. If war breaks out... we must eliminate all the combat-capable demon clan members at the first opportunity. Once this Barrier is activated, not even an ant can crawl out."
Xiao Yao remained calm and composed as he strolled leisurely.
Ke Lingfei took a sharp breath, "A thousand insects and a hundred poisons are not as ruthless as the human heart! You all...!!"
Saying that, he reached out into the air and a two-zhang-long bone whip appeared in his hand. The nine-section whip was completely white, made up of several small bones, and the narrow end was coated with green poison. "I refuse to be a hostage!"
"You still need to go help Aragaki, of course they won't let you in, but your family must enter the Barrier."
"No way!!"
"If Aragaki Nigaki's negotiations go smoothly, after the alliance, I will personally remove the Barrier. You don't need to worry at all. Or... do you not trust Aragaki?"
"I'm going to tell brother Aragaki! You bunch of beasts!"
Ke Lingfei swung the Bone whip and made a crisp sound.
Xiao Yao frowned, formed a sword gesture, and his sword swiftly split into five in mid-air. Five long swords pointed directly at Ke Lingfei.
"I advise you not to act recklessly. When necessary, I will kill you to silence you."
Ke Lingfei snorted coldly and whipped towards Xiao Yao. The latter formed a sword technique, pinched with two fingers, and dozens of silver sword shadows gushed down like a waterfall.
Ke Lingfei swung the whip left and right, and the continuous clanging sound filled the air. However, there were simply too many sword shadows, making it impossible to block them all.
She dodged left and right, but still got cut on the arm by one of them. She decided to spin the Bone Whip in mid-air, drawing a circle. Spiritual power formed a Golden Shield along the trajectory. The sword shadows pounded on the magic shield like a storm, splashing silver fireflies, and finally vanished without a trace. "Golden spiritual power? It's rare for a snake demon to specialize in Gold Spirit."
"You mind your own business!"
"I couldn't care less... just curious. Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, sound, yin, yang. Among the ten attributes, snake demons mostly belong to wood, water, earth, and yin. Very few specialize in Gold Spirit, I didn't expect to encounter one."
"What do you want?"
"According to legend, the snake demon specializing in Gold Spirit possesses a precious substance called snake bile within its body, which is considered a treasure of heaven and earth. It can be used for medicine and refining. Is it true?"
"You...you actually want to eat me?! Despicable and shameless! Look out!"
Ordinary snake bile is already a precious medicinal material, not to mention the gall of a snake demon, especially one specializing in the gold element!"
Ke Lingfei knows how important snake bile is to nature. To her, snake bile is as important as a woman's chastity. Therefore, in Ke Lingfei's eyes, Xiao Yao's words are no different from teasing herself. Ke Lingfei is furious and strikes with her left palm at the magic shield. The magic shield transforms into a golden python, opening its bloody mouth and charging towards Xiao Yao.
The latter was about to cast a spell when he was suddenly startled. His left arm had been entangled by the Bone whip at some point. He cursed himself for being careless, but it was too late to break free. The python spat out its tongue, emitting a series of hisses. It was less than a foot away from him! At the critical moment, Xiao Yao raised his right hand and used a sword technique to strike from above. The dozens of sword shadows above his head instantly turned into a giant light sword, "clang," and pierced the python's head and neck.
The giant python let out a long hiss and vanished into thin air.
Xiao Yao grabbed the Bone whip with his left hand and pulled it back forcefully. Ke Lingfei lunged towards him, and then his right palm landed on the back of his left hand.
In an instant, the massive light sword transformed into countless silver lights that surged along the Bone whip towards Ke Lingfei.
The latter's weapon slipped from his hand and was pushed more than ten feet away.
"Elder! Please spare Ling'er! Let us in! Let us enter the Barrier! Please show mercy! Spare Ling'er's life..." Ke Lingfei's father cried and kowtowed. Other clan members followed suit.
"Dad! Don't beg him! I'd rather die here!"
"Ling'er, don't make it difficult for the Taoist. Aragaki saved our family, let Dad see you. Dad is already very content... If we don't go in, he won't let you leave."
"I won't leave then!"
"Aragaki If I can't see you, I will definitely become suspicious."
"Then are you saying you'll kill me?"
"I said it would be necessary. Alright, that's enough. Your father has agreed to enter Barrier, and you should stay by Aragaki's side to help him. Let's work together to stop this war, that's what's most important."
"Hmph!"
"You can tell Aragaki what's going on here, but if he doesn't want to negotiate, then the three thousand demons here will instantly evaporate, leaving no trace of their remains. Will you speak? It's your choice."
"You...!!"
"If I were you, I would remain calm and persuade him not to join forces with the rebellious monsters, convincing them to stop. This way, all the creatures here can survive."
With these words, Ke Lingfei couldn't help but agree.
"Alright... I promise you, but you must ensure their safety before that. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, you and I will be enemies."
"Let's hope that day never comes."
"I also think so, Ling'er."
"Hey! Who said you could call me by my childhood nickname!"
"Can't I call you that?"
"You stinky Taoist!"
"Wait... I am a lay disciple and have not become a monk. It's not quite accurate to call me that. Hmm... you can call me Xiao Yao brother."
"Shameless scum! Get lost!"
Ke Lingfei turned to the clan members, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely ensure your safe departure from here."
"Don't leave. I just need to remove the Barrier at that time."
"Can you shut up? I'm not talking to you!"
Ke Lingfei bid farewell to his family one by one and followed Xiao Yao back. Along the way, Ke Lingfei would casually tease Xiao Yao a few words.
At first, Xiao Yao felt guilty and didn't want to argue back, but Ke Lingfei's words became more and more excessive, and in the end, Xiao Yao couldn't help but retort a few times. The two of them argued and returned to Ishimura in the afternoon. That night, the three of them gathered in the bedroom.
"I just received a message. Penglai, hanging garden, and Yunji have discovered the transfer of a monster and are causing trouble for me. Aragaki, how is your practice of immortal techniques going?" Xiao Yao asked with a worried expression.
"I only practiced for one night, what's the rush?"
"This is not some profound technique, it's just to make it easier for you to control The power of gods and demons within yourself. My master only taught me the sword technique once, and it was just for one night."
Ke Lingfei looked disdainful, "How many beasts like you are there?"
"What's wrong with you two? You've been bickering since this afternoon," Aragaki asked in confusion. "One moment you're using swordsmanship... why does it seem so familiar..."
"I didn't have time to let you cultivate slowly. Tomorrow, the Shu Mountain will convene a meeting, and the The Four Great Immortal Sects will gather at Three Emperor's Hall. The plan is simple, you just need to transform into... what's it called... Si for what humanoid form?"
"Ah...hahaha...I was just talking nonsense, it doesn't matter, you continue."
"In any case, unleash all your spiritual power and charge into the venue, using The power of gods and demons to intimidate the other three Xianmen. If necessary, use force, but absolutely no more killing. If you kill someone, even the full power of our Shu Mountain may not be able to save you. Once you have subdued them, you can make your demands - no war and a request for peaceful coexistence - just like how Three factions of Shu Region coexist with the demon race."
"Will this work? Will my words have any effect?"
"The rebellious demon clan all regard you as their leader from a distance, and your words are like decrees to them. Your worry is unnecessary, and Shu Mountain, Emei, will also stand by your side. Qingcheng sect will definitely not let you off, but they are not important. It will depend on you afterwards."
"I am an old actor... absolutely no problem!"
Ke Lingfei was absent-minded, thinking only about Falling Moon Cave and Barrier.
"Xiao Hua, will things go smoothly for you tomorrow?" Aragaki Nigaki asked, holding Fang Qingping in his palm.
"Mr. Nigaki, you are the best! You can definitely achieve what you want to do. Even if the Nine Realms oppose you, I will always be by your side. Always..." A gentle voice from the bottle, Niu Xiaohua, said.
Aragaki Nigaki Just feel like basking in the spring breeze, unable to express the joy, secretly thinking: How important the woman behind a man is... Just a simple word of encouragement can double a man's confidence. On the other hand, those selfish, greedy women who only take and never give are the stumbling blocks in a man's career... They never think that their man's failure is their own problem. Huh... How could such women possibly live a good life. Just then, a paper crane flew in from the window. Aragaki Nigaki Opened the talisman and was suddenly stunned, gradually turning angry.
"What's wrong?" Ke Lingfei and Xiao Yao asked at the same time.
"Court... he has been expelled from the Hanging Gardens Palace!!"
