Beimu and Luwu, one a demon and one a monster, dislike each other, but they walk on the bustling streets like two good friends.
Bei Mu looked at Lu Wu holding the calligraphy and painting and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. As a demon, even though Lu Wu seemed to be holding the calligraphy and painting very carefully from the outside, he couldn't feel how much Lu Wu liked the calligraphy and painting in his hand.
"Hey Lu Wu, what do you want these books and paintings for? Do you really like them?"
Lu Wu patted the calligraphy and painting in his hands, glanced at Bei Mu beside him as he walked, and said with a forced smile.
"like."
Bei Mu snorted coldly. This Lu Wu was just pretending. After all, he usually looked like a scholar. He could do so many useless and boring things just to pretend, and he pretended to be so serious. This kind of people were often extremely serious in doing things, extremely difficult to deal with, and especially vindictive. They would use any means necessary to take action, and the incident with the tiger monster proved this point.
The two of them walked to a more secluded place in the city as if nothing had happened. Bei Mu then continued with a sneer.
"Lu Wu, your brother Tiger is dead. I heard that he died under the Samadhi True Fire of that gentleman, and his soul and body were destroyed."
There was no one around. Lu Wu opened his mouth and stuffed the calligraphy and painting in his hand directly into his mouth as if it pierced his throat. Bei Mu, who was standing beside him, twitched his mouth slightly. After hiding the things, Lu Wu turned to look at Bei Mu and shook his head.
"Ah, Brother Hu died tragically. I have no way to avenge him. But you ran the fastest. How dare you go back and find out the news?"
"Humph, since I am a demon, I naturally have my own way of knowing. But you, as my brother, don't seem to be sad about the death of the demon king."
"Don't talk nonsense. Brother Hu has ended up like this. I am very sad. And after his death, many things I have done are in vain. Although I don't think there is any point in doing these things."
The two spoke with sarcasm, but they were companions after all, and did not fall out.
"Lu Wu, I think it's not appropriate for us to work together. Let's go our separate ways next time. I can't control you like this."
"Oh? So you hate me so much. To be honest, among all the demons, I like you quite a lot. Your words really hurt my heart, but it doesn't matter what you do or how you do it. I only care about how to break through the shackles of cultivation and... immortality!"
Lu Wu looked at Bei Mu very seriously. He wanted to make practice free of constraints and allow everyone to achieve immortality. This was what the Apocalypse Alliance said when they pulled him and Niu Batian together. It had to be admitted that it was extremely tempting.
Bei Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. In his opinion, it seemed that Lu Wu was somewhat distrustful of the two items promised by the Apocalypse Alliance. No wonder, these two items were indeed a bit exaggerated.
"I have to admit that you, Luwu, have outstanding talents, but your previous actions were too reckless and extreme. You are not qualified to know now."
"Oh, then let's not talk about it. As for the so-called shackles of cultivation, I can break through them myself."
Lu Wu's arrogant self-confidence made Bei Mu secretly hate him, but he also felt inexplicably that this was really possible, because Lu Wu, to some extent, might be a monster in the true sense of "I practice my own way, and good and evil, life and death do not violate the heart of the Tao."
In other words, a monster like Luwu does not need to seek the way, but has his own way in his heart. It may be different from the conventional way of righteousness or evil, but he can always follow his way. In essence, he has no concept of evil or good and is a very pure practitioner. At the same time, he may not resent a grudge, but he will repay a grudge; he may not be grateful for a favor, but he will repay the favor.
The purity displayed by Luwu makes Luwu's potential recognized as high even among the top leaders of the Apocalypse Alliance, and his true identity is mysterious. Although he once showed the form of a tiger, it seems to be hidden. Monsters like this are often the only ones among the monsters who can truly cultivate to the pinnacle of realm.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Beimu hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"Having said that, I think it's okay to tell you. Anyway, with your qualifications, Lu Wu, you will definitely be one of the top leaders of our Tianqi League in the near future. Maybe you can occupy an important position after Tianqi. As the mortals say, more friends mean more paths."
After the apocalypse? Lu Shanjun keenly grasped the key points of Beimu's words. His heart was slightly moved, but his face showed no expression. He just looked at Beimu indifferently.
"More friends, more paths? Humph, no matter what you do, I, Lu Wu, will not consider you a friend. But if you have done me some favor, I will not forget it."
“Hahahaha… Lu Wu, even though I hate you most of the time, I have to admit that I still like this aspect of your personality. Let’s go, let’s find a suitable place and I’ll talk to you in detail. Don’t be scared to death!”
…
Being in the Southern Wilderness, because of the monsters in the mountains of the Southern Wilderness and some other reasons, even though this is a mortal kingdom, the density of monsters and demons is much greater than other places.
Beimu and Luwu are currently in a small teahouse with earthen walls and thatched huts far away from the official road outside the city. However, there are still many traces of demonic aura and fighting in this teahouse. Perhaps a cultivator and a monster fought here not long ago, or the monster may have fought in private. It is quite magical that this teahouse looks like nothing has happened.
Business in the teahouse was very quiet, and the waiter in charge of serving guests looked drowsy. After serving tea and snacks, he fell asleep on the earthen counter. Apart from Beimu and Luwu who were sitting on the outside, there was no other customer in the entire thatched hut teahouse.
Listening to Bei Mu's narration of some things about the Apocalypse Alliance, even Lu Shanjun was horrified in his heart, so much so that he could no longer maintain his usual coldness on his face and looked a little stunned.
Beimu was very satisfied with Luwu's performance. It was rare to see this guy with such an expression.
Lu Shanjun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then narrowed his eyes again.
"This is too absurd, and it comes from a devil like you. To be honest, I didn't quite believe it at first, but you have no reason to lie to me..."
Lu Shanjun was silent for a long time before he looked into Bei Mu's eyes and spoke.
"The Apocalypse Alliance's so-called breaking old problems and establishing a new order is more exaggerated than I imagined. With the demons as the leader and the demons as the assistant, they will build the Palace in the sky, seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and control the birth and death of all living things? The Palace in the sky... This is too much, too naive, right?"
Bei Mu's eyes were shining at this moment, and as a great demon, there was actually a hint of fanaticism in his expression as he looked at Lu Wudao in front of him.
"Lu Wu, do you know that in the distant past, there were palaces in the sky, and they were mainly populated by demons. Now the human race claims to be the spirit of heaven and earth, but what does it mean to the demons back then!"
Although Lu Shanjun was surprised by what happened in the Heavenly Palace, he suddenly found Bei Mu's appearance a little funny.
"Even if the demon race once controlled the palace in heaven, what is a demon like you?"
"Ha, Brother Lu, as the saying goes, demons and monsters are inseparable. The so-called evil ways are just the lock of the righteous ways now. Once the order of heaven and earth changes, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. The way to become a demon may not necessarily be the way to become a righteous way."
Lu Shanjun did not say much. The evil ways that play with people's hearts and are insidious are not liked by the righteous people today. There are also many people in the demon clan who don't like them. To a certain extent, they are antonymous with the word order.
Seeing that Lu Wu remained silent for a long time, Bei Mu poured a cup of tea for himself and Lu Wu, took a sip and said.
"Why, you still can't believe it? Hey, when you believed it, suppressing humanity and disrupting humanity, it also suppressed the will of all living beings. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, epidemics, and resentment in the world have torn humanity to pieces. The pattern of humanity being the main thing will naturally be shaken or even broken. The demons in the two wastelands and all over the world just need to wait for the opportunity. Our Apocalypse Alliance is the force that strategizes and slowly promotes the changes in heaven and earth!"
"Of course, Brother Lu has a bright future and will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future."
Beimu looked at Lu Wu in front of him and said with a smile, and added in his heart: "Of course, you have to be able to live to that time."
"I admit that I was very surprised to hear this, but is the so-called righteous path today just a decoration? Even if it is a Mr. Ji, who in the Tianqi League can compete with him?"
Bei Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his head and picked up the tea bowl.
"The great trend of heaven and earth is hard to contend with. Even if he is highly accomplished, he cannot have the power to defy heaven. If one person cannot defeat him, then ten people can. If ten people cannot defeat him, then a hundred or a thousand people can. And which one of them is a true immortal? Is there no powerful demon king or even a celestial demon? Is there no true devil?"
However, Beimu discovered that Lu Wu's eyes suddenly looked to the other side. He subconsciously looked back and found that the tea shop clerk who had fallen asleep was now looking at them with one hand supporting his head.
"You two monsters, what you say is quite intimidating!"
Beimu was slightly startled. He didn't even realize that this shop assistant was not a mortal. And judging from the situation, Lu Wu didn't realize it either. This was really a terrifying thing.
"Lu Wu, this person is not simple. If things cannot be done, it is best to leave first!"
"Do you need to teach me?"
The two men communicated with each other and were ready to fight with all their strength. Even if it was Lu Shanjun, he would not stay behind if something happened. He knew very well that except in front of his master, if he met a righteous master in other situations, given his current state, he would most likely kill the evildoers first.
