Zhu Changyang looked at the several sect leaders standing beside him, as well as the disciples who followed him without hesitation and vowed to die. He was stunned at first, and then he laughed.
When he decided to confess, he was actually prepared for the worst.
He thought that perhaps some good friends would show mercy to him out of old friendship, and that the best outcome would be for him not to interfere in the matter.
However, he did not expect that so many people would be willing to put aside their years of prejudices against good and evil, and even risk their sect's reputation to stand before him and Jun Shu.
Recalling the treatment Jiang Hui received when it was revealed that he was having an affair with Yin Kanwei at the Leyou Banquet, and then comparing it with this scene now.
For a moment, I felt that time and the world have changed.
Jun Shu was also quite surprised. Looking at the stern faces in front of him, he wrinkled his nose and sneered, "These righteous people are not always so annoying."
The developer poked his cat’s head out: “Meow meow meow!”
Zhu Changyang: “…”
You guys are quite disgusted!
Disciples from several major sects accounted for most of the people present.
The others were still somewhat afraid of the title of being born demons, but after seeing the leaders express their opinions, they gradually relaxed.
Especially for some small sects and independent cultivators who are just joining in the fun, they are not clear about many things and they all follow the opinions of the famous and large sects.
Since even big sects like Kunlun and Zhan Cang have come out to speak for the natural born demon species, it is clear that this demon species is by no means as scary as the legend says.
And everyone is not stupid.
The changes in the Demon Realm over the past two years have been obvious to all, and the relationship between the two has been eased thanks to the mediation of Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu.
If you think about it this way, the natural demon species has done a lot of good things.
"I think what Mr. Hua said is right. If it weren't for Brother Zhu and Brother Jun who helped cure the Jun coffin plague, we might have all been in trouble and wouldn't be standing here alive."
"Jun Shu also killed the Undead Demon Corpse."
"Indeed, the Industrial Sect has done very upright things. It is inappropriate to convict someone based on a rumor from ancient times..."
"That's not the case. Their junior pilot is quite evil."
"Haha, that's not as bad as Hou Shiyun did."
As they were talking, someone actually started to get close to them.
"Wow, come to think of it, I've fought against a natural born demon before!"
"I saw that scene. You were beaten half to death by Jun Shu."
"… Shut up!"
Elder Hou watched helplessly as the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. In an instant, public opinion completely turned to the side of the Industrial Sect. He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. He shouted in pain: "You, you are actually in cahoots with the evil demon?!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly became a little funny.
Someone responded, "Elder Hou, why don't you kill Young Master Hou first as an example?"
"Who is it!" Elder Hou was furious, "Who is talking nonsense—"
An elder of Yong Zhou Tian couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled him aside: "Elder Hou, calm down."
Elder Hou remembered that there was still a sect, and hurriedly looked at Gui Shengmo: "Sect Master, this demon has been misleading people with his lies and causing great harm. Please give the order quickly to eradicate him!"
The rest of Yong Zhutian became anxious upon hearing this.
Gui Shengmo has handed over most of the power to Elder Hou over the years, and even lightly touched upon such serious crimes as harming his fellow disciples, for fear that he would be instigated again.
"That's enough." Gui Shengmo just raised his hand and said lazily, "Elder Hou, I only promised you to call the people over. The rest is none of my business."
Elder Hou glared: "You, you..."
"What?" Gui Shengmo smiled slightly, revealing a bit of evil, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Elder Hou's face turned purple, and he almost chewed his gums to bleed, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Gui Shengmo nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."
Seeing this, everyone in Yong Zhoutian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other, all a little confused.
When Gui Shengmo came, he listened to Elder Hou's words and invited so many people with great fanfare, and everyone thought that he and Elder Hou were of the same mind.
But now it seems that he is not interested in this matter at all.
Zhu Changyang couldn't help but glance at this reclusive sect leader, feeling that he was a little strange.
In any case, it's always a good thing that a major disaster can be avoided.
Wen Chuxue, as the leader of the righteous sect, stood up at the right time, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Since everyone agrees that Mr. Jun is a friend and not an enemy, why don't we just leave it at that..."
Before the word "stop" came out, the air around him suddenly shook slightly.
Wen Chuxue was so perceptive that he caught a hint of ominous aura in an instant, and raised his hand to cast a spell.
The next second, the magic formula was actually shaken back.
Wen Chuxue's heart skipped a beat.
There is no one in this world who can inherit his magic formula.
Almost at the same time, a powerful demonic energy suddenly exploded in the distance.
From the observation tower of Yingzhou City came a long horn and a patrol disciple shouted: "Report - Demon Realm troops spotted -"
Everyone looked up and was shocked.
The high cliff where they were standing had the sea on one side and was surrounded by mountains and forests on the other.
At this moment, a large group of black people suddenly emerged from the forest.
Those people were wearing black armor, holding weapons, with a pair of red eyes filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent, and were rushing towards them in neat formation.
The earth was shaken and billowed with smoke and dust, creating a terrifying feeling of oppression.
It turned out to be the elite troops of the Demon Realm.
There was a commotion among the righteous, and everyone looked at the leaders of the major sects.
"Why are people from the Demon Realm here?"
"Oh no, we seem to be surrounded—"
Wen Chuxue's face darkened slightly, and he looked at the two people from the Industrial Sect: "Sect Masters, Mr. Jun, may I ask what is going on?"
Zhu Changyang was even more confused than him: "I don't know..."
At this time, a command came from the demon army: "Stop—"
Laws are like mountains.
The black armored army paused and stopped neatly a mile away, confronting the righteous people from a distance.
There are two people on the left, one purple and one black. The former is standing on the golden wheel of the lonely moon, and the latter has a cold and crisp silver light like a silver needle hanging on his side.
Needless to say, they were Jiufang Ruo and Yin Kanwei of Sujiao.
The two people on the right are both dressed in red and have beautiful faces, but the former is a woman and the latter is a man.
It’s Dong Yaoyan from the Hui Sect and... the little brother Robot from the Industrial Sect
Not many people in the righteous path have seen the true appearance of the guardian of the Huijiao, but many of them know the sewing machine guy, and they were all stunned for a moment.
The four of them flew in front of the group of righteous heroes and looked down from the air. They saw Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu being surrounded by several leaders of major sects.
The four people's faces changed.
Dong Yaoyan waved her long sleeves and shouted angrily: "You righteous bastards, don't be rude to His Majesty—"
Jiufang Ruo's face was as cold as frost, and he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, we are late in protecting you, please forgive us."
Upon hearing this, the Zhengdao people were greatly surprised and looked at Jun Shu.
Jun Shu frowned: "You..."
"Your Majesty!" Li Ying said proudly, "It was me who discovered the conspiracy of these bastards!"
It turned out that when Yong Zhoutian was investigating the Industrial Sect, Li Ying also discovered their whereabouts.
He has always been unhappy with the righteous path, so he secretly sneaked into Yongzhoutian, intending to teach them a lesson, but accidentally discovered a bottle of evil energy that should have come from the Land of Ten Thousand Demons.
Not only that, Yong Zhoutian is also secretly gathering manpower, targeting Yingzhou.
Li Ying was shocked and quickly told Dong Yaoyan about it.
Unexpectedly, Dong Yaoyan became very nervous after hearing this. Through various information, she judged that Yong Zhoutian’s target was most likely Jun Shu.
At that time, the righteous people were already on the road, and their best troops were all out.
In desperation, Dong Yaoyan had to contact Jiufang Ruo and reveal Jun Shu's true identity.
Jiufang Ruo was shocked and immediately decided to join forces with Dong Yaoyan to rescue Jun Shu.
They originally wanted to inform Jun Shu in the imperial edict first, but after careful consideration, they decided to hold back.
First, time is pressing and there is no time to lose.
Secondly, Jun Shu and Zhu Changyang have always been defenseless against the righteous path. Now they are deeply trapped in the One Leaf Kingdom. If the righteous path finds out and strikes first, it will be very bad.
In this case, it would be better to directly dispatch personnel and make arrangements in secret, so as to catch the righteous people off guard. This would be the best strategy.
Thus, the Sujiao and Huijiao had their first sincere cooperation in thousands of years.
Jiufang Ruo and Dong Yaoyan picked out the elites of the two sects and ordered them to disguise themselves as a caravan, first go to the neighboring city of Yingzhou via the teleportation array, then sneak into the mountains, gather in ambush, and wait for orders.
They planned carefully and acted extremely cautiously this time.
Jiufang Ruo even personally took action and set up a barrier in the mountains to prevent the magic from being leaked.
In addition, the attention of the righteous was all focused on Yingzhou in the past two days, so they did not notice it for a while.
It was not until this time that the spies of the demon army confirmed the situation on Gaoya's side, and then they came out in full force and formally declared war on the righteous path.
The demon army had thousands of elite soldiers, who were equally matched with the righteous forces, but they occupied a more advantageous terrain and had set up a magic array in advance, thus forming a siege on the righteous forces.
The scene was on the verge of breaking out.
“Hahahahaha!” Li Ying laughed wildly, “Your Majesty, we have made all the arrangements. We will definitely be able to catch all these bastards in one fell swoop this time!”
The faces of the righteous people changed, and they all concentrated their spells and became alert.
The Six Seal God sighed and shook his head sadly: "The evil star has come true, and all living things are in ruins."
Elder Hou laughed when he saw this: "Hahaha, you see, this is a natural born demon. You treat him as a friend, but how does he treat you..."
Many people glanced at Jun Shu, with pain in their eyes.
They trusted Jun Shu so much just now, but they didn't expect the result to be like this.
It seems that there is a difference between good and evil after all.
Then, they saw Jun Shu close his eyes: "I'm so annoyed."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and performed a magic technique. The Water-Bi Sword flashed with a cold light and, carrying a surging sword intent, flew towards... Li Ying
Everyone:
Li Ying:
The sword came so suddenly that Li Ying, who was standing with his hands on his hips and laughing, was caught off guard and hit hard in the chest by the hilt of the sword. His breath was gone and he fell to the ground on the spot.
With a "bang", he fell flat on his face.
Not to mention the righteous side, even the demon army was confused.
Elder Hou choked and swallowed back all the words he had been about to say.
Li Ying's face was covered in dirt, and he asked with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, why did you hit me again?"
Zhu Changyang glanced at Wen Chuxue, who understood and signaled his disciples to separate the crowd and make way for a passage.
Jun Shu and Zhu Changyang then stepped forward.
Jun Shu glared at Li Ying and said unhappily, "Who told you to speak rudely to my friend?"
"Ah?" Li Ying was at a loss, "What friend?"
Jun Shu glanced at the righteous people present and said reluctantly, "That's all."
Li Ying:
Wait, there's something wrong with this script!
Jiufang Ruo and Dong Yaoyan looked at each other, then flew down together and stood in front of Jun Shu.
Yin Kanwei followed closely behind, and they all performed the chest-touching salute to Jun Shu.
Dong Yaoyan asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you being held hostage by these righteous people?"
"Can they hold me hostage?" Jun Shu sneered, "Don't be so ridiculous."
Dong Yaoyan: “…”
The people of the righteous path: “…”
He seemed to mean well, but for some reason it sounded particularly awful!
Studio:
[I am dying of laughter, robot, being too murderous will only hurt you! ]
[With this turn of events, both the righteous and evil paths were silent! ]
[Brother Jun has learned some weird words from Chang Yang again, don't use them carelessly! ]
[Robot: Who is the one who is ridiculous? !]
