Gods: Starting with the Goblins

"Why did you appear at this sensitive moment, in this sensitive place? How should you explain all of this? Do you still want to use those clumsy lies to excuse us?"

Hearing this, Jiaolong felt bitter in his heart. He knew that the human aura on his body was indeed a problem that was difficult to explain. But he also understood that this could not be used as evidence that he betrayed the demon clan. He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and then spoke slowly: "I admit that I do have the breath of the human race on my body. But that is because I had to pass through the territory of the human race during my escape. In order to escape I accidentally got involved in their pursuit by lurking in the crowd. As for why I appeared here, it was entirely because I had nowhere to go but to join the demons. I never thought about it. It is even more impossible to betray the Demon Clan and do anything that harms the interests of the Demon Clan.”

Although his explanation was reasonable, the doubts on the faces of the demon soldiers had not completely dissipated. They knew that things were not that simple, and Jiaolong's identity and motives still required further investigation and confirmation. However, in this tense and depressing atmosphere, Jiaolong's words at least provided them with a direction of thinking and a clue that might reveal the truth.

When Jiaolong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of bitterness in his heart. This bitterness surged like a tide, almost drowning him. He knew that his situation at the moment was extremely dangerous. He was surrounded by demon soldiers who were eyeing him. If he was not careful, he might die here. But he also understood that he could not suffer injustice like this, and could not let his innocence be tarnished for no reason.

"Sir, the aura on my body is indeed contaminated by being hunted by the human race." Jiaolong explained eagerly, with a hint of trembling in his voice, but more of a determination, "I escaped here because of hope. To be protected by the demons and stay away from the endless pursuit and danger . As for why I appeared here, it was a complete coincidence. I just ran away blindly and had no idea that I would accidentally break into the Demon Clan's territory, let alone have any intention of betraying the Demon Clan. It may be some kind of undercover! Please look into it and give me justice!”

As he spoke, his eyes shone with sincerity and innocence, as if they could penetrate all misunderstandings and suspicions and reach the deepest part of people's hearts. However, the demon soldiers didn't seem to buy it. They were still wary and suspicious of Jiaolong, and their cold gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing Jiaolong's heart.

"Coincidence? Humph, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?" A demon soldier sneered, his voice full of disdain and ridicule, "The human aura on your body, and the timing of your appearance here, are too... It’s suspicious. If you say you’re not an undercover agent, who will believe you unless you can provide stronger evidence to prove your innocence?”

Hearing this, Jiaolong felt helpless. He knew that nothing he said now could be trusted by others. But he also understood that he couldn't just give up. He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and then spoke slowly: "Sir, I admit that my current situation is very suspicious. But I also know that it is useless to talk more without foundation. I am willing to accept any form I'm even willing to risk my life to prove my innocence. I just ask you to give me a chance to find out the truth and give myself justice."

His words were full of determination and courage, as if he had prepared for the worst. The demon soldiers looked at Jiaolong's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in their hearts. They knew that Jiaolong might not be the spy or undercover agent they thought. But they also understand that things are not that simple and require further investigation and confirmation.

At this moment, Luo Dan's voice sounded again, like a bolt of lightning piercing the darkness: "Okay, stop arguing. Jiaolong, I see your determination and courage. I will give you a chance to prove it." Your own innocence. But you have to understand that this opportunity is not unconditional. You must fully cooperate with our investigation and provide all possible clues and evidence. If you are really innocent, I will naturally give you justice; but if you have. If you conceal or deceive, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Luodan's words were full of majesty and compassion, as if they were a bright lamp, illuminating the darkness in Jiaolong's heart. When Jiaolong heard this, he felt excited. He knew that he finally had a chance to prove himself. He nodded solemnly and expressed his willingness to accept all investigations and challenges. The demon soldiers also gradually dispersed at Luo Dan's signal. Calmness returned to the hall again, but this calmness contained endless undercurrents and waves.

At this moment, Master Luo Dan spoke slowly. His voice was low and powerful, like an echo in a deep valley, and seemed to be able to penetrate the deepest fog in people's hearts: "Everyone, please be patient for a moment. Please calm down and listen to me. ." He paused and glanced at every demon soldier present. There is both majesty and mercy in the gods. "Jiaolong's words don't sound like lies. We demons have always been known for their clear distinction between rewards and punishments. We cannot easily convict a person because of temporary speculations and doubts. Doing so would not only violate If we lose our principles, it will also chill the hearts of our soldiers.”

Lord Luodan's words were like a breeze, gently blowing away the tense and depressing atmosphere in the hall. The demon soldiers became quiet one after another, and their originally tense nerves gradually relaxed. Their eyes turned to Lord Lordan in unison, waiting for his further instructions, as if he was the beacon guiding the wanderer.

"We should investigate the truth of the matter first before making a decision." Lord Lordan continued,.

Over that remote and quiet post station, the sky suddenly turned gloomy and dark clouds were gathering, as if something big was about to happen. Elder Tianji, an immortal cultivator who is old but still has sharp eyes, is standing in the corner of the inn, frowning, staring at the rolling demonic energy in the sky. An ominous premonition surged in his heart. The intensity of the demonic aura meant that someone from the demon clan was obviously active here.

"No, someone from the demon clan is approaching, we must take action immediately." Elder Tianji's voice was low and urgent, as if every word contained great weight. He stared closely at the demon patrol that was approaching slowly not far away, his eyes shining with determination and wisdom. Upon hearing this, several fellow disciples around him all had stern looks on their faces. They quickly took out the carefully prepared disguise clothes from their respective bags and began a race against time to quickly change clothes.

There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air, and every movement seemed so cautious, for fear of making the slightest sound. Elder Tianji's companions moved skillfully. Some quickly put on large bamboo hats to hide their entire faces in the shadows; others put on long cloaks and wrapped themselves tightly, revealing only their vigilant pairs. and sharp eyes; others tightly wrapped their faces with cloth strips, leaving only the necessary gaps for breathing. The whole person looked like a mysterious traveler, and it was difficult to identify his true identity.

"Remember, our goal is to avoid the attention of the demons, and we must not be discovered by them." Elder Tianji warned again. Although his voice was low, it was extremely powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and make everyone... You can feel the firmness and determination in his words. He knew very well that once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would their mission fail, but the safety of the entire ethnic group might also be implicated.

The companions nodded one after another, with firmness and trust in their eyes. They knew that Elder Tianji was not only experienced, but also wise and courageous. It was he who led them out of danger time and time again. This time, they also believe that as long as they unite as one and follow the command of Elder Tianji, they will be able to avoid the pursuit of the demons and successfully complete the mission.

"Okay, now act according to the plan we made before." Elder Tianji ordered in a low voice. He quickly assigned everyone's tasks. Some were responsible for diverting the attention of the demon soldiers, while others were responsible for finding safe evacuation routes. Every detail was considered thoughtfully and meticulously by him to ensure nothing was missed.

Following Elder Tianji's order, everyone quickly dispersed and each of them sneaked away in the designated direction. In the night, their figures were as erratic and elusive as ghosts. Elder Tianji, on the other hand, stayed where he was, quietly observing what was going on around him, ready to respond to possible emergencies at any time. His heart was full of confidence and courage. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, we would be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in the dawn of victory.

However, just when they had finished disguising themselves and were preparing to leave the inn quietly at night to avoid being discovered by the demon soldiers, they discovered that the situation in the inn had quietly changed. The originally empty and peaceful inn became very lively at this moment. The number of guests suddenly surged, and many of them exuded the unique and heart-stopping aura of the demons. They were either wearing robes or cloaks and had different shapes, but all of them revealed their identity as demons.

These demons shuttled back and forth in the inn. Some gathered together and talked in low voices with mysterious expressions, as if they were discussing some important plan; some were in a hurry, as if they were performing some urgent and secret mission. Their appearance made the atmosphere in the entire inn become tense and subtle.

"There are not many people who usually live in this inn. How come there are so many people with the aura of our tribe suddenly appearing?" A demon soldier said doubtfully, his eyes shining with vigilance and curiosity. He looked around, trying to find some clues from these demons who suddenly appeared, in order to solve the doubts in his heart.

His companions also showed the same confusion: "Yes, this is too strange. And look at them, they are all mysterious, there must be some ulterior secrets."

"We have to be careful, maybe they are here to perform some special mission." Another soldier said in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "There has been a lot of noise in the city recently, and I heard that Lord Long is searching everywhere. Suspicious characters, we must not get involved in any trouble."

"That's right." The soldier from before nodded, his expression becoming more solemn, "We must strengthen our vigilance and pay close attention to the movements of these people. At the same time, we must report to the superiors as soon as possible to see if any measures need to be taken."

While they were talking in low voices, Elder Tianji and his companions were hiding in the dark, secretly anxious. They didn't expect that the originally well-planned evacuation would be in trouble because of the sudden appearance of these demons. They know that if they are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

"What should I do? If I leave now, they will definitely find me." One of Elder Tianji's companions whispered, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Don't worry, let's see the situation later." Elder Tianji said in a deep voice, his eyes shining with calmness and wisdom, "Maybe these demons are just staying temporarily and will leave after a while. We have to be patient Wait and look for the best time to evacuate.”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that at this critical moment, only by keeping calm and patient could they find a solution to the problem. So, they continued to hide in the dark, closely watching every move in the post station, waiting for the best time to evacuate.

"Look, this is really unusual! Who are you? Why are you here? And didn't you hear Zhao Ling?" Another demon soldier strode over. His voice was loud and full of unquestionable majesty, echoing in the post station, instantly attracting the attention of many guests. Recently, the city lord has issued a strict order requiring all demons to return to the city immediately and not to stay outside without reason. These demons who suddenly appeared in the post station and moved strangely were obviously very different from the city lord's orders, which naturally aroused the soldiers' high alert.

The hearts of Elder Tianji and his companions were instantly tense, as if they were tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost jumping out of their chests. They never expected that the vigilance of these demon soldiers would be so high. Just because they stopped at the post station for a while, they attracted so much attention and questioning. They knew that at this critical moment, any panic or mistake could expose their identities and lead to unpredictable consequences.

Elder Tianji quickly adjusted his breathing and tried to calm himself down. He gently touched his companions and signaled them to stay calm with his eyes. Then, he slowly turned around and faced the demon soldier with a seemingly natural smile on his face: "Brother, we are from other places. Because of some delays, we didn't get back to the city in time. As for Zhao Ling, we did hear about it, but we had to stay here for a while because of urgent matters."

Elder Tianji's words were neither hurried nor slow, with a bit of sincerity and helplessness in his tone, trying to make the soldiers believe their words. (End of this chapter)
