Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"The deity has sent a message."

In the white bone Xuanyin Banner, Taiyin received Qi Xiu's message and turned sideways to whisper to Taoist Taiyang.

"How to say?"

At this time, Qin Wu had already told everything he knew. In order to ensure his safety, the Taoist priest Taiyang knocked him unconscious and then asked.

“Zhao Baiye does have a deep control over this world.

At present, there are at least four Taoist Gods who have strength comparable to that of the Yuanshen.

I have already solved one.

The strength should not be underestimated.

So what he meant was that we should make a bigger fuss.

He suspected that the power Zhao Baiye had placed in this world was more than just this.

Knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

Wait until we find out all of Zhao Baiye’s arrangements in this world, and then we will catch him all in one fell swoop.”

Hearing Taiyin's retelling of his original thoughts, Taoist Taiyang's eyes moved slightly:

"It seems that Zhao Baiye has already dug a pit, waiting for me to jump in."

"According to what I mean, our fire is still not big enough, we need to find a way to make it burn more vigorously.

Otherwise, those snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the dark would not come out so easily."

Taiyin has always been a person who is eager to create chaos in the world. Seeing that I am going to cause trouble in the world, Taiyin suddenly became excited and a big smile appeared on his face.

"But it's not easy to light this fire with just our strength."

Compared to Taiyin, Taiyang Taoist is more stable.

It is obvious that my intention is not to let them cause chaos.

Instead, they wanted to create an attack that would threaten Zhao Baiye's current arrangements, to determine whether there were other forces besides those four people stationed in this Blood Lotus World.

"Who said it's just you and me?"

Taiyin curled the corners of his mouth and showed an expression that showed he was relieved.

……

The deep underground palace is the lair of the Qingming people.

Holding an ink pen, Old He frowned as he carefully sorted out the list of clan members who had sacrificed their lives in the incident of Goddess Hongmo Zhiluo.

After thousands of years, under the repeated oppression and hunting of the gods, the number of these Qingming people has been decreasing again and again.

Especially with the continuous erosion of the demon lotus.

The idols are also constantly degenerating.

The corruption of every statue will lead to the corruption of the Qingming people who worship him.

In addition, many members of the tribe are now unable to inherit and use the power of the statue due to physical reasons.

If this continues, the Qingming people will eventually be completely destroyed, and the Blood Lotus World will never be able to return to its original state.

boom!

Just as Mr. He was silently copying the list of sacrificed clansmen, there was a muffled sound, and the door outside the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in at an extremely fast speed.

"He... Mr. He!"

Standing outside the room, the panting boy was out of breath, his cheeks flushed, and he was supporting himself on his knees and gasping for air.

"What a panic, what a mess! What happened?"

Frowning and opening the door, Mr. He whispered something to the young man in front of him, and at the same time pulled him and walked quickly out.

"Could it be that another deity has fallen?

Or did the God Seed come in to kill us?"

The incident of Goddess Hong Mo Zhi Luo cast a shadow on Old He's heart. Seeing the young men in the tribe so panicked, he immediately thought that another statue of god had fallen, triggering a bloody battle.

"No, it's not the idol that has fallen... it's the idol, the idol... oh, it's the idol!"

The young man, who was already very excited, was asked questions by Mr. He one after another. He was a little confused in speech and couldn't explain clearly what was going on.

"Is the statue ready?"

Grasping the key to the boy's words, Mr. He was stunned at first, and then he reacted immediately.

Is it possible...

That Taoist really did it!

Upon hearing the news, a flame suddenly ignited in He Lao's heart. He hurriedly stepped forward, not caring about the young man's screams, and turned into a shadow and rushed straight to the Demon Burial Palace where those fallen statues were sealed!

A large number of Qingming people had gathered in front of the Demon Burial Palace.

Not long ago, the Qingming people who were in charge of guarding the Demon Burial Palace suddenly discovered unusual movements in the palace. After opening the palace door, they found that some of the eroded and corrupted statues had been restored.

Such a surprising discovery made the Qingming guard gather the tribesmen and send someone to report the situation here to Mr. He immediately.

"Really, I've recovered..."

Looking at a statue that was carried out from the Demon Burial Palace, with all the filth and evilness gone, Old He stretched out his trembling hands, feeling the peace and warmth coming from it, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this time, in the Demon Burial Palace, the statues filled with a cold and evil aura were constantly changing.

From demon to god, back to the right path!

So many years.

He watched helplessly as the statues of gods that once protected his people were eroded by the evil lotus and transformed into ferocious and filthy golems, but he was powerless to do anything.

The only way is to seal it up and trap it in this Demon Burial Palace.

I didn’t expect that he would be able to see the restoration of these statues during his lifetime.

"Heaven will not destroy my Qingming clan, and Heaven will not destroy my Blood Lotus Realm!"

Looking up to the sky, Mr. He cried with joy. The group of Qingming people nearby also felt the hope contained in this change and shouted in unison.

The entire underground palace was filled with endless laughter.

……

"Mr. He, I think I still keep my promise."

In the underground palace, Taiyin looked at Mr. He opposite him with a smile.

Qin Wu was instigated to rebel.

Lu Wansheng and Dai Yue'er were beaten to death.

Without these three domain lords in charge.

The mother and child demon lotus that they were responsible for guarding was easily destroyed by him and Taoist Sun.

This is also why the fallen statues in the Demon Burial Palace suddenly recovered.

"Of course, Taoist priest, we will never forget your kindness."

With a serious face, seeing Taiyin's stunned expression, Mr. He knelt down in front of him and kowtowed three times.

"That's right, no need to be so polite."

Taiyin flicked his sleeves and gathered up a force to help the old man in front of him up, then shook his head.

"Yes, what the Taoist priest has done is equivalent to supporting the foundation of our Qingming clan for hundreds and thousands of generations, and it also preserves the flame of our Blood Lotus World.

Let alone a few heads, even if it means taking my life, I will not refuse." Looking at Taiyin seriously, He Lao spoke sincerely.

"Why would I want your life?"

Smiling and waving his hands, Taiyin said slowly:

"But now, Mr. He, you should understand that we are on the same side.

The common enemy is that evil lotus.

What you are asking for is to eradicate the evil lotus and restore peace and prosperity to the world.

What we want is to retrieve all the Tianyuan Treasure Tokens and return to our world.

We have common goals and they do not conflict with each other.

So I came back this time because I want to continue cooperating with you."

“There is naturally no problem with cooperation.”

Without hesitation, Mr. He agreed immediately.

With a satisfied smile, Taiyin raised an eyebrow at Taiyang.

You see, that's it.

“However… my Qingming clan has been attacked and persecuted by the gods for thousands of years, and the number of our clan members has been declining.

Now that the statue has finally returned, please give us some time to multiply our people and accumulate strength."

Hearing what Mr. He said, Taiyin kept smiling, turned his head slowly, and said softly:

"So, how long will it take?"

"No more than a hundred years."

boom!

Taiyin slapped the table in front of him and looked at Mr. He opposite with a smile:

"Mr. He, are you trying to...get rid of me?

Are you qualified?"

"Master, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely didn't mean that." Waving his hands repeatedly, Mr. He looked apologetic.

"After years of attacks, my Qingming clan has been overwhelmed. It's hard to get this chance to catch our breath. I hope you can understand."

"Understand, of course I understand.

Then we won’t force it.”

Seeing the old man in front of him playing tricks, Taiyin was not angry. He called on Taoist Taiyang to get up and prepare to leave.

But when he stepped out of the door, he stopped and smiled at Mr. He:

“I have a way to destroy those mother and child demon lotuses and restore those statues.

But there is no way to guarantee that they won’t change back, so I advise Elder He to be more careful, so as to avoid a disaster for the clan…”

After saying this, Taiyin and Taoist Taiyang strode away without any hesitation.

Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Mr. He's expression changed again and again, his eyes flickered, and he thought and hesitated.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different;

These creatures from outside the domain are truly not worthy of sympathy.

But with your personality, can you bear this loss?"

As he walked forward, Taoist Taiyang glanced at Taiyin beside him.

As they share the same origin, he knows Taiyin too well.

This Taiyin may not repay a favor, but he will definitely take revenge.

These clear-minded people deceived him this time, how could he just let it go?

"Don't worry, you'll know in a moment."

Taiyin waved his hands steadily, looking calm, as if everything was still under his control.

Sure enough, before the two of them had walked a hundred meters, they heard Mr. He's voice behind them.

"Please stay, Taoist priests."

After being invited back into the room, Mr. He changed his shy and melancholy demeanor and cleared his throat with a smile on his face:

"The head of Taiyin has done a great favor to my Qingming clan.

We will go through fire and water, even if our entire clan is wiped out, without any hesitation.

I wonder what the chief needs us to do now?"

"Mr. He is indeed sensible. In that case, I will not be polite..." With an indescribable weird smile, Taiyin waved his sleeves, and a scroll of the Blood Lotus World suddenly appeared on the table in front of him.

And on this scroll, there have been many markings, which are so intricate and almost cover the entire world.

Looking at this map that was almost completely marked, Mr. He's heart skipped a beat, but just when he looked up and wanted to say something else.

A majestic and overbearing gaze pressed down heavily, making the leader of the Qingming clan feel frightened. The unspeakable heaviness seemed to strangle even his breathing.

"Mr. He, if allies cannot demonstrate their value, then this so-called alliance relationship will no longer exist.

I helped your Qingming clan recover so many corrupted and fallen statues.

Now, it’s your turn to contribute.”

Taiyin's words were both reasonable and emotional, but also contained a hidden threat.

If the Qingming clan cannot demonstrate their due value.

Then they are not allies.

Under the current situation, either we are allies or enemies.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. After a moment's silence, Old He took a deep breath and looked at the Taoist Taiyin and Taoist Taiyang in front of him with complicated eyes.

At this point, we can only take this gamble.

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I understand what you mean."

After receiving Mr. He's firm answer, Taiyin then revealed his plan in detail.

Although the Qingming clan's combat power is average, they may be slightly inferior to the divine species of the same level.

But in the thousands of years of confrontation with the divine species and the demon lotus.

They have mastered a special method.

That is to absorb the power and nutrition of the roots of the demon lotus and create a substance called "Qingming Soup".

This [Qingming Soup] can suppress the erosion of the power of the statue on itself, and at the same time it can also cleanse the eroded statue. It has many uses.

Taiyin simply looked down upon the Qingming clan's combat power.

To put it bluntly, if he gets ruthless, he can slaughter the entire Qingming clan by himself.

The reason why he wants to cooperate with these Qingming people.

I was attracted by their means of destroying the roots of the demon lotus.

Now the lords of the four domains, including the lord of the Ding-shaped domain who had escaped before, have all been killed by him and the Sun.

The four realms have fallen into complete chaos.

He wanted to take advantage of this chaos to let these clear-minded people gradually remove the roots that were spread throughout the Blood Lotus World.

Otherwise, even if he and Sun killed as many gods as they could, only the superficial ones would be injured.

Only in this way can the inside be hurt.

"That's it?"

After hearing Taiyin's plan, Mr. He looked a little surprised.

After all, in his opinion, this task was indeed... somewhat simple.

After all, extracting the roots of the demon lotus and making [Qingming Soup] is their daily routine. If there is any difficulty, it is that Taiyin's requirement for workload is much greater than before.

"How about I ask you to just uproot the demon lotus? Do you have the ability to do that?"

With a sneer, Taiyin tapped the map on the table with his fingers.

"From now on, your people must work non-stop to destroy the demon lotus roots at the locations I marked.

Don't worry about their safety, I will send the White Bone Warriors to protect you.

I believe this matter should not be difficult for you, Mr. He."

"Don't worry, I will do my best. As for protection, there's no need. We are familiar with this matter. Just..."

"Of course I want it. We are allies, and ensuring your safety is the minimum we have to do."

Without giving Mr. He a chance to refuse, Taiyin waved his hand and settled the matter.

"But……"

Before Mr. He could open his mouth to say something, the figures of the two Taoist priests in front of him gradually faded away, and they actually used their power to leave directly.

"Whoa!"

Reluctantly, he pounded the ground with his crutch, his face solemn.

It was false that Taiyin sent the White Bone Warrior to protect them, but it was true that he supervised them to complete the task.

He originally thought of accepting the task and doing it in secret.

But in this case, this plan cannot be implemented.

“It’s watertight.”

Things have come to this point, and even though Mr. He is extremely reluctant and helpless, he can only act according to the current situation.

After putting away the scroll and album on the table, Old He turned around and left the room, gathering his clansmen to prepare to destroy the roots of the demon lotus according to Taiyin's deployment.
