When they chased him down to the bottom, they found the demon lying on his back on the rocks. They don’t know how much blood was shed this time, but it can be seen that he really can’t survive.

“You still want to escape!” Although Ling Long scolded him fiercely, it was still the first time she had seen such a tragic situation. She couldn’t bear it , turned around and said, “Little Six … you… don’t make him suffer!”

The man stared fiercely with his brass bell-sized eyes, his pupils filled with a dark green hue, and smiled miserably, “You… you… don’t need to fake… fake compassion. At this point… I… have no conscience. You people…have done…what…have you…done…you…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Minyan had already chopped off his head with a single sword strike, frowned and said, “You are going to die and you are still arguing! You’ve made the people of Wang Xian suffer so much, and you still have a clear conscience!”

When Lu Yanran saw the demon’s head bounce on the ground and land at her feet, she almost jumped up in shock and cried out, “Oh my! How did you…chop his head off!”

Rou Yu stepped forward and lifted the head, pulled out a piece of square cloth to wrap it, and sighed, “I’m not sure why he’s like this, but maybe there’s something behind him that we don’t know about.”

When they saw such a state of affairs, they couldn’t say anything. The good mood of winning a battle, which was a beautiful victory, became gloomy, as if they had done something wrong.

The six of them flew back to the Zhao’s residence with their swords. Before they left, they told Boss Zhao not to worry and to just sleep, but who could sleep? All the lights are brightly lit, waiting for their return.

As soon as Zhong Minyan landed on the ground, he put the head on the ground and said, “Uncle Zhao, fortunately we have not disgraced ourselves, and caught the demon that caused trouble in Haiwan Mountain.”

The young and old in Zhao’s residence heard that they had caught the demon, and they all cheered and came out to look at it. Seeing the bloody and hideous head, they were all scared.

Zhong Minyan recounted the experience briefly, and finally smiled. “Finally, this monster is killed. In the future, the elders and ladies must rest assured. We will come back and check when we have time.”

Everyone sighed again, and finally, they buried the head in the ground, saying that it would be a meritorious deed if they could find a Taoist priest to put up an amulet to suppress the evil spirits. After three months of unbearable harassment by Qu Ru, everyone in the village was relieved when the matter was finally settled. They also heard Zhong Minyan say that they will leave the next day, so they did not care about the dim night. They whole village began to prepare a banquet, rewarding the few young disciples, until noon the next day, and then gradually dispersed.

Zhong Minyan said that they were in good spirits. The three men are busy drinking and talking about their past, while Linglong and Lu Yanran are busy listening and occasionally interrupting. Xuanji was busy leaning on Linglong to sleep with a slight snort.

“Miss Lu said yesterday that there are demons gathering together, is that true?”

When Rou’Yu remembered that Lu Yanran said, she couldn’t help but ask questions.

Lu Yanran was drinking a glass of wine by herself. She had drunk a lot of wine thi snight and her face was flushed. It resembled a hibiscus with two curved willow leaf eyebrows, which was charming to the extreme. She smiled when Ruo’Yu asked her, “Actually, I don’t know what to say, but once I heard the Island Master say that there are demons in the Wasteland, and they all come in groups, so I tried to get him to say something. Unexpectedly, I was right.”

Yu Sifeng pondered for a while, and said softly “There are a lot of different people in the Wasteland, and each country has its own customs. It may not be a demon, but it looks weird and unlike ordinary people.”

Ling Long wondered, “If you don’t look like a human, how can you be a human?”

Yu Sifeng laughed, “There are many strange things in the world, and although people in many places do not look like humans, they are not demons. They have their own customs and habits, and they are similar to us.”

Ling Long changed color and said, “Then……. the one we killed this time….”

The crowd was silent. If it was a demon, they would still be able to justify themselves by saying that they were doing it for the people, but if it was a person, it would not be a pleasant experience. Especially Zhong Minyan. The man’s head was chopped off by his own hands, and the thought that he had chopped off a man’s head made him want to throw his sword away.

“He did what he had to do, even if he was a human being, he had to be killed.” A voice suddenly sounded beside him, and everyone turned their heads to see Xuanji had woken up sometime ago, with a confused look on her face.

Zhong Minyan frowned and said, “You can’t say that, demons are different from humans… How can you kill a human just because he has done something bad…”

“The demon has done something bad and can be killed?” Xuanji asked the question lightly, not paying attention to it.

“That’s … different…” Zhong Minyan was so proud of his eloquence that he didn’t know where it was going. He knew in his heart that it was different, but he couldn’t tell what was different.

Linglong said, “If you are not of my race, you must have a different heart! It’s not human, it’s definitely not good!”

Xuanji said indifferently, “There’s no difference. If it’s not a good thing, it’s not a person. There are too many things in the world that aren’t human. It doesn’t matter if it’s human, demon, or anything else, as long as they’ve done something that needs to be killed, you should kill. As long as they’ve done the right thing, you shouldn’t kill.”

“Uh, you… ” Zhong Minyan was stunned, and it took him a while to hold his tongue, “You… and how do you know if they should be killed or not?”

Xuanji rubbed her eyes and said softly, “Of course I know, I know it in my heart.”

Zhong MinYan had nothing to say and finally waved his hand, “That’s outrageous! You’re being unreasonable! All right, I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed. We have a long way to go tomorrow.”

When Ling Long saw that the fight was about to break out, she hastily pulled Xuanji’s sleeve and whispered, “Sister, are you deliberately speaking in anger?”

Xuanji shook her head blankly, “No, I’m telling the truth.”

Even Ling Long was speechless.

Ruo’Yu was busy smoothing the situation and smiled, “Why do you have to say such spoiling words? Come on, let’s have another drink! Come and have a drink with us. Take a rest and go back to sleep It’s a rare occasion for everyone to be so happy.”

Zhong Minyan was too embarrassed to disrespect him, so he toasted with a smile and slowly drank.

After drinking three more rounds, the small storm that was brewing between them disappeared. Yu Sifeng was a little drunk and smiled while holding the glass, “Minyan, where are you going next?”

Zhong Minyan said, “We are planning to go all the way to the east, to see the customs and people along the way, and to solve some of the demons that are haunting us. Finally, we’ll go to Fu Yu Island to visit the Island Master.”

Yu Sifeng was silent after hearing that. Linglong clapped her hands and said, “Sifeng, Ruo’yu, Miss Lu, you’re all here for training anyway, so why don’t we come together? Don’t split up, or it’ll be boring!”

Ruo’Yu just laughed but didn’t say anything, turning his head to look at Yu Sifeng, obviously only listening to his opinion. After thinking for a while, Yu Sifeng finally nodded, “Fine, let’s go together. It’s a good thing that Ruo’yu and I don’t have any destination, so it’s fun to travel with you.”

Seeing that he had agreed, Linglong couldn’t help being overjoyed, and went to pull Lu Yanran. The two girls no longer quarrel, but feel that their tastes are similar and can’t be separated.

“Yanran will come with us. The more the merrier!” Ling Long was obviously sincere when she held her hand.

Lu Yanran was touched and said softly, “Thank you, Ling Long. I said a lot of unpleasant things to you earlier, so please don’t take it to heart. And Xuanji… I’m sorry too.”

Ling Long waved her hand in a un-troubled manner, “Why are you talking about the same old stuff? I’d forgotten!”

Lu Yanran smiled slightly, “But I’ve come to terms with one thing, I’ve decided to go find my fellow travelers, apologize to them, and then return to Fu Yu Island together. So… I can’t travel with you guys.”

Everyone was stunned, and Ling Long said urgently, “How… how can you say you’re leaving?!”

Lu Yanran said with a serious face, “I used to think that other people should take my place, that it didn’t matter if I couldn’t do things right, but now I realize that I was wrong. I don’t want to be a burden to others anymore, I want to be like Ling Long and Xuanji, a chivalrous woman who can’t lose to men. So I have to go back and apologize to my friends and start all over again. It’s almost time for me to go down to the mountain to train, and when I find them, I have to go back to Fu Yu Island. Ling Long, aren’t you going to Fu Yu Island too? We’ll meet again then. I will treat you to the best food on the island.”

Ling Long knew her decision was made, so she didn’t force her hand and asked, “Okay, I’ll see you on Fu Yu Island. When does Yanran plan to leave? Where will you go to find your fellow disciples?”

“I’m going to go to the west first. They should be staying around Taihua Mountain, which happens to be the opposite direction from where you are going. The matter here has been resolved, I’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”

No one said anything else, they drank up the wine as a farewell to her.

They drank until the afternoon, and then they all went to rest.
