"Stop hitting me!"
After seeing the two people clearly, Jiang Yuebai rushed forward, and with a burst of powerful aura from his body, he pushed Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi back to both sides.
After Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi steadied themselves, they both looked up and saw Jiang Yuebai, who was standing in the middle with red clothes and white hair, and looked aggressive. They both opened their eyes in shock.
"Jiang Yuebai!"
"noob!"
Lu Nanzhi smiled, her eyes red, and she finally put her worry about Jiang Yuebai to rest.
Xie Jingshan's look was a little exaggerated, his chin was trembling and he looked aggrieved, as if he had lost a fight and then saw his own parents descending from the sky, so he wanted to complain and ask for support.
Woo—
The demons suddenly blew the horn to retreat. Jiang Yuebai's eyes turned sharply and he stared at Shen Mingjing who was sitting in the rear of the demon army.
Shen Mingjing felt the surging murderous intent pressing down on him and stepped back in shock. Even the Fire Kirin who was protecting him was horrified and terrified.
He has reached the peak of the Refined Void Realm. His aura and cultivation have already surpassed Fire Kirin. He is no longer someone who can be manipulated by them at will.
The Zhulong Spear flew into her hand. Jiang Yuebai raised her foot, and Lu Nanzhi suddenly stood in front of her, pleading in her eyes, "Don't kill him!"
Jiang Yuebai frowned in confusion, but Lu Nanzhi's serious look forced her to hold the Candle Dragon Spear tightly and give up for the time being.
"Everyone follow me!"
Jiang Yuebai waved his hand and took Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi away from the battlefield to a secluded place and threw them directly onto an isolated island in the lotus platform world.
There were people from Wuwei Mountain watching outside. Even though she was a Mahayana Immortal King and could not directly interfere in the battlefield, she could still protect herself and help watch the Zhulong Spear and the Lotus Platform.
Xie Jingshan was pushed by Jiang Yuebai's huge force and couldn't stand steadily. He sat down on the ground. Seeing Lu Nanzhi being held by Jiang Yuebai's arm and landing safely, he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Jiang Yuebai, you're going too far!"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes warned, and Xie Jingshan shuddered suddenly. He had already received news that Jiang Yuebai had reached the peak of the Void Refining Realm, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
How can other people survive with this monster
Under all-round suppression, Xie Jingshan could only sit on the ground with his arms folded and sulk.
"Xiaobai, your cultivation has improved so much. Congratulations!"
Lu Nanzhi looked Jiang Yuebai up and down, and was genuinely happy for her, just like usual, but it made Jiang Yuebai frown.
Jiang Yuebai could not forget Lu Nanzhi, who was full of murderous intent towards Xie Jingshan just now.
At this time, Lu Nanzhi still looked like a human, but the demonic energy in her body was much stronger, exactly the same as the ice demons she had encountered in the demon clan.
Moreover, their cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, while Xie Jingshan was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.
Even Jiang Yuebai couldn't tell at this moment whether Lu Nanzhi was a human or not.
"Anan, did you really intend to kill Xie Jingshan just now?"
Jiang Yuebai felt anxious and had to ask.
The joy of reunion in Lu Nanzhi's eyes gradually faded, and she lowered her eyes to look at Xie Jingshan who was sitting on the ground.
"If he continues to stop me..."
Xie Jingshan turned his head with his eyes wide open, "Lu Nanzhi, you are heartless! Even though I fought you to the death every time, I never thought of really killing you!"
"You can't beat me."
"!!!"
Xie Jingshan felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He opened his mouth but could not utter a word. He gritted his teeth and turned his head to snort coldly.
Indeed, on the battlefield, if it were not for Shen Huaixi's assistance, the human army led by Xie Jingshan might not have been able to hold out for so long.
In terms of personal strength, if Lu Nanzhi had not given in, Xie Jingshan would not have lived until now.
Jiang Yuebai could see that although the two of them were fighting each other outside, neither of them actually wanted to kill the other.
Xie Jingshan blocked everyone and bit Lu Nanzhi like a mad dog. He didn't want Lu Nanzhi to accidentally hurt those friends and regret it later.
Lu Nanzhi acted decisively and spoke harshly, just to scare Xie Jingshan away.
But why is it so? !
"Anan, why on earth did you suddenly want to defect to the demon clan and attack the human race for the demon clan? If you do this, you will be nailed to the human race's pillar of shame and be cursed for eternity!"
Xie Jingshan nodded vigorously, sat on the ground and said to Jiang Yuebai, "Yes, that's right, Jiang Yuebai, tie her up quickly and lock her up somewhere. Wait until we crush the demons and then release her. See how crazy she gets!"
"Don't talk first!" Jiang Yuebai said to Xie Jingshan fiercely.
Lu Nanzhi was very calm, "We can also not fight, as long as the human race gives up 30% of the land to the demon race."
"You're dreaming!" Xie Jingshan roared.
Jiang Yuebai probably understood what Lu Nanzhi wanted to do. She stared into Lu Nanzhi's eyes and asked slowly, "Do you want to use this to exchange for non-aggression between the human and demon races?"
"Yes." Lu Nanzhi's eyes never dodged.
Xie Jingshan wanted to say something, but Jiang Yuebai didn't even look at him and just waved his hand to silence him.
Jiang Yuebai asked Lu Nanzhi, "Is this the condition you negotiated with the demons? That's why Shen Mingjing will assist you wholeheartedly. Do you still want to follow the path of the Ice Demon Saint and seek peace through war?"
Jiang Yuebai had read the Ice Demon Saint's notes and knew that his ambition was to make the demon race stronger, and then make peace with the human race as a strong man, and then they would not invade each other and develop on their own.
Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai. Facing her, it was difficult for Lu Nanzhi to hide or deny anything.
"Yes, I don't want to go through what happened in the Demonic Abyss again. I don't want to watch everyone die without being able to do anything. To stop such sacrifices and deaths, it's useless for me to be strong alone. I have to solve the problem permanently from the root."
"If I can bear the infamy and stop the war between humans and demons in my lifetime, I am willing to work hard for it. Xiaobai, I have come to this day step by step. There is a destined fate between me and the Ice Demon Saint. The Ice Demon Saint chose me, and the Heaven also chose me. This must be done by me. Now I am just accepting the fate arranged for me by the Heaven!"
Jiang Yuebai's breathing stagnated, and he was extremely angry. "Are you still the one who accepts your fate like this? Don't you, Lu Nanzhi, never accept other people's arrangements? Back then, when the entire Fang family was oppressing you, you were able to fight to the death and resist. What's wrong with you now?"
Lu Nanzhi's eyes were red. "Xiaobai, do you know how I felt when I saw you getting farther and farther away from me in the Demonic Abyss, but I was powerless to do anything? And there were many times before when you appeared in times of crisis and saved everyone, and I would miss you."
"If we weren't there, would you not have to fight so hard? If we were stronger, would you be able to relax a little? Xiaobai, you also have people you care about, and you will risk your life for them, and so will I!"
"None of us can stop other people from making decisions. If circumstances force your master to go to the battlefield, what will you do? Will it be useful to protect him at all costs? How many times can you protect him? How many people can you protect? You care about so many people. I also care about people, and so does Xie Jingshan!"
"So, the only way to solve this problem once and for all is to completely stop this war. Then no one will have to go to the battlefield, and you won't have to worry about anyone. All of us will not be affected by the situation and can do whatever we want. Isn't that good?"
Jiang Yuebai was speechless, "But we... why can't we work together to eliminate the demons? Why do you have to choose this method? Don't you consider yourself at all? Do you want to trap yourself in the demon clan for the rest of your life and not ascend?"
Lu Nanzhi smiled bitterly, "Xiaobai, you also know that the demons are transformed from the turbid air of heaven and earth, and other creatures in the world are nurtured by the pure air of heaven and earth. Unless the world is destroyed, the demons will never be exterminated. The only way is to find a way to 'keep' them in captivity and make the demons give up the idea of invading humans."
Jiang Yuebai certainly understood that Lu Nanzhi did not want to betray the human race. On the contrary, she was trying to stop the war in a way that she thought was effective.
She has a special identity and was originally a human. If she can completely control the demons and then make peace with the human race, then the human race will be very likely to accept it because Lu Nanzhi has a human heart.
But before that, Lu Nanzhi had to make the demons trust her first, and willingly serve her as their master, and then subdue all the demons with her strong strength. That's why she appeared on the battlefield and used her military exploits to gain the trust of the demons.
She was the one chosen by the Ice Demon Saint. Jiang Yuebai didn't know what the Ice Demon Saint said to Lu Nanzhi during the time she fell into the Demon Abyss. Did he even pave the way for her and she just had to walk on it
Lu Nanzhi is not an impulsive person. Since she chose to do this, she must have thought it over carefully.
Lu Nanzhi wants to bear the infamy of the human race for the rest of her life so that future generations don't have to suffer from war, but the prerequisite for doing so is that she will always be the king of the demon race.
Lu Nanzhi stared at Jiang Yuebai's eyes without blinking, with a smile in the corners of his eyes and a firm and unshakable gaze.
"Xiao Bai, when the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken. Some things have to be done by someone, either me or you. I don't have the ability to reach the sky, but I don't want you to be the one rushing to the front every time and breaking the deadlock every time."
"Humans are not demons. As long as people are alive, they must have something they want to protect. Therefore, I am willing to become a demon alone, and take the blame for all the sins I commit, in exchange for you and everything you care about, and eternal peace! I hope you will not stop me, and just stay away from me!"
Bang!
Xie Jingshan crushed the stone in his palm, frowned and said nothing. In fact, Lu Nanzhi had told him all these words, but he didn't want Lu Nanzhi to sacrifice himself like this. He felt that he could also bring eternal peace with the sword in his hand!
Unfortunately, when you actually try it, you will realize how difficult it is, so difficult that it makes you despair!
Jiang Yuebai hugged Lu Nanzhi tightly, feeling extremely distressed. She had no right to blame Lu Nanzhi, nor could she say whether she was right or wrong. At least Lu Nanzhi was more courageous than her.
And she still doesn't know what she should protect. In fact, her heart is very small and can accommodate not many people. She doesn't want to care whether there are fights in the cultivation world or not!
What she wanted was to travel around like Wuwei Shanren, see the magnificent mountains and rivers, find a place with beautiful scenery to stay temporarily, read books, practice cultivation, grow some flowers and plants, and make wine.
When I feel lonely, I take the wine I brew myself, visit my elders, and get together with a few friends.
All she wanted was that simple.
But it is impossible for people to live alone in this world and only care about themselves. Not everyone can practice the ruthless way like Lu Xingyun and destroy the world for his own goals.
As a being in this world, where can she hide when the whole world is completely destroyed
Now, who should she ask, Xie Jingshan or Lu Nanzhi, to take a step back
“So annoying!”
Jiang Yuebai suddenly scratched his head in annoyance, not behaving like Lianxu Star Lord at all, and just gave up.
"I don't care. You two can fight. I'll bury whoever dies! I'll bury him right here!!"
Xie Jingshan:
Lu Nanzhi: …
This part is sensitive and difficult to write. I originally planned to just pass it over, but after I updated two chapters, it caused a lot of controversy. I explained it in two more chapters, but the more I said, the more mistakes I made, because everyone has different opinions on this, and I respect everyone's opinions.
So everyone just watch the fun and don’t delve into it too deeply. If you find it infuriating, just jump to Chapter 969 and start reading. I have only written four chapters about this matter, and I will basically not mention it again later. I will also just briefly mention the outcome of the incident in the future, and just move on!
