Compared to the clear goals of the Apocalypse Alliance and the Black Wasteland Demon, the righteous side actually didn't notice anything at the beginning. It was only with the presence of the Longbearded Old Man of the Apocalypse Alliance that, even though the destiny was disrupted, they could still detect abnormalities from many aspects. By piecing together the changes in the luck of various places, they deduced that the luck of the demons was on a downward trend.
But this is only an apparent estimate. In fact, looking around Tianyu Continent, the demons are becoming more and more arrogant, sometimes even to the point of being rampant.
To some extent, the battle between good and evil at this moment is the most intense moment since the chaos in Tianyuzhou began. New demons continue to come to Tianyuzhou. Some powerful demons in the Apocalypse Alliance and Heihuang have already known that it is time to retreat, so they are having their final carnival, trying every means to satisfy their desires and will abduct all the mortals they can.
The so-called casualties are always for those who care about them. People will feel pain when they lose their loved ones, a country will be distressed when it loses too many people, and immortal cultivators will also be sad when their fellow disciples die. But for those demon kings, they have to try their best to gain benefits during this period. After all, there are plenty of demons in the wilderness.
At this moment, Ji Yuan's Fayun was rushing towards the south of Tianyuzhou, searching for the old beggar by feeling. Actually, Ji Yuan had the same deep affinity with the old beggar, so it was not difficult to find him.
Ji Yuan was flying in a straight line with his sword, and in less than a day and a night he was close to the old beggar's location. At this moment, where his magic cloud passed, he could see that the wild vitality of heaven and earth in the distance was still in a disordered state. It was obvious that a master had used great magic power to display his supernatural powers a moment ago.
The old beggar was followed by Lu Xiaoyou and Yang Zong, who were floating in the air, with fairy light shining on their bodies.
The most eye-catching sight on the ground is a large charred area, and not far from the charred land is a village of considerable size. At this moment, almost all the villagers, regardless of gender, age or status, are kneeling in the village under the leadership of the village chief, and constantly worshipping towards the sky.
"God, it's a god!"
"The gods saved us!" "Thank you so much for saving us!"
"Thank you, God, for saving my life!" "Thank you, God, for saving me..."
"Without these immortals, we would have been killed by the monsters!"
…
If Ji Yuan was here, it would not be difficult to hear what had happened before from the constant thanks from people. As the target of countless thanks, the old beggar and his two disciples shifted their attention from the ground to the sky.
"Master, there is a Fayun approaching. He doesn't look like a demon, but there is no guarantee that the demon will change and deceive people!"
When Lu Xiaoyou said this, the old beggar slapped him on the head.
"Hey, Master, why are you hitting me?"
"What kind of evil transformation is this to deceive people? That's Mr. Ji!"
The old beggar said this and showed a smile that was rarely seen in recent times. Seeing Ji Yuan in this situation, the old beggar also developed a stronger sense of intimacy.
"Mr. Ji? It's been a long time since we last met. I knew you might be in Tianyuzhou. Why did you wait until today to see me? Are you afraid that I am poor and I can't treat you well?"
The old beggar was still as free and easy as ever. He led his disciples to pay their respects while speaking jokingly. Of course, Lu Xiaoyou and Yang Zongze did not dare to say much, but only paid their respects and greeted them respectfully.
"Mr. Ji!" "Hello, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Yuan arrived nearby, took a look at the scorch marks on the ground and the broken demon corpses, then looked at the people who were expressing their gratitude over there, then he bowed solemnly to the old beggar and the others in return.
"Mr. Lu, are you joking? How could Ji Yuan be a greedy person? He had indeed been to Tianyuzhou before, but he learned of an important matter, so he took the rope and went to do it. Now he has just returned to Tianyuzhou, and he came to find you right away."
Ji Yuan dispersed his own Dharma cloud and landed on the cloud where the old beggar and the other two were, then moved closer and said.
"The Apocalypse Alliance and the Black Desolate Demons are about to retreat. I have something important to discuss with you. I hope Mr. Lu can recommend someone who is in charge of the major sects in Tianyu Continent, preferably the headmaster."
The old beggar frowned.
"Is it really as Longxu Weng of Tianji Pavilion expected? There is no problem in bringing Mr. Ji to see my senior brother Daoyuanzi. He has long wanted to meet Mr. Ji, but it is hard to say about the other sects. Well, there is no problem with the various sects, caves and islands under the jurisdiction of Qianyuan Sect..."
Ji Yuan nodded.
"Then take Ji to see Daoist Fellow Dao Yuanzi immediately. There is no time to lose. This concerns the millions of missing people in Tianyu Continent."
A gleam of light flashed in the old beggar's eyes, and he immediately urged the Dharma cloud under his feet to escape.
"Fashan is thousands of miles away and can be reached in a moment. In the meantime, I hope Mr. Ji can help this old beggar solve his doubts."
Although the old beggar sometimes likes to play guessing games, he doesn't like being played guessing games by others, so of course he has to figure out the situation first.
"Ji Yuan will explain it clearly!"
After Ji Yuan agreed, he began to talk about what happened after his last visit to Tianyuzhou. In addition to the layout of some chess pieces, he also explained some possible causes and consequences.
When the old beggar's Dharma Cloud flew away, the people in the village below were still worshipping and exclaiming that the immortal was flying away. Some people even chased the Dharma Cloud for a while.
However, in Ji Yuan's view, the vague power of wishes below could not reach the old beggar at all. He just waved it away casually and let it dissipate.
Immortal practitioners can gain merits, but they will not use their vows to restrain their Tao heart. Many elders will teach their disciples this truth, but in fact it is almost uncontrollable. This is why many immortal practitioners in the world are very low-key. It is to avoid being involved in similar things. Cause and effect may also have an impact on one's Tao heart in the future.
But the old beggar at this time really managed to remain untainted. In this regard, Ji Yuan believed that the old beggar's Taoism had become even higher.
…
The location where the treasure of Qianyuan Sect's Dharma Mountain temporarily landed was right in front of them. The old beggar's flying speed on the cloud also slowed down. The main reason was not because he was going to enter the Dharma Mountain, but because he was really scared after hearing what Ji Yuan said.
"Mr. Ji, you, you went deep into the Jade Fox Cave Heaven and killed Tu Siyan, who was probably the injured nine-tailed fox, in front of so many nine-tailed foxes?"
Looking back now, Ji Yuan felt that his scene was quite impressive, so after thinking about it, he corrected himself.
"I didn't kill them in front of them, but in their dreams. They deceived me with their previous words, and it was their own fault. They brought shame upon themselves. It's no wonder that their plan didn't give them face."
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, the old beggar couldn't help but complain in his heart, "When you, Ji Yuan, went there, you told them that you were coming to settle the score. You didn't intend to give them face from the beginning."
However, the thought was only for a moment, and the old beggar still exclaimed in relief.
"Well done!"
As he was speaking, the Dharma Mountain below, which had been hidden originally, also began to glow. A mountain full of fairy air appeared out of thin air in the glow and appeared before Ji Yuan's eyes. Spiritual patterns emerged in the glow, and the old beggar's Dharma Cloud flew directly into it.
Upon receiving the message and hearing that Ji Yuan and the old beggar had returned together, Dao Yuanzi, the head of Qianyuan Sect, gave them enough face and personally flew out of the mountain on a cloud to greet them.
Ji Yuan looked at Dao Yuanzi, the true immortal, and saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown and a golden feather robe, which was very different from the appearance of an old beggar. Dao Yuanzi also observed Ji Yuan carefully, and the pale blind man and the black jade hairpin were just as rumored.
After a brief greeting, they naturally returned to the courtyard to discuss the matter. Almost all of the high-level cultivators of Qianyuan Sect on Fashan Mountain were present.
Before that, what happened before had to be explained clearly so that we could talk about what happened next. However, this time, not only Ji Yuan was talking, but the old beggar also spoke.
"What? Mr. Ji, you blocked the way of so many nine-tailed foxes and killed Tu Siyan, who was probably the one with the injured nine-tailed fox?"
Dao Yuanzi showed a look of surprise, and his reaction was almost the same as the old beggar's before. Even his words were almost exactly the same, which made Ji Yuan sigh inwardly that they were indeed close master and disciple.
The old beggar seemed very satisfied with Dao Yuanzi's reaction. He stroked his beard and smiled with an indifferent look.
"Brother, you are wrong. Mr. Ji was drunk and had a dream. He killed the fox demon in the dream! Those nine-tailed foxes have nothing to say. Even if they want to take action, they have no reason and I am afraid they lack the courage..."
Many cultivators of Qianyuan Sect had an expression of disbelief.
The two long-bearded elders from the Tianji Pavilion nearby were also amazed and did not stop calculating. Lian Baiping was even more amazed after a moment.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Tu Siyan is the key. As long as the demon is not killed, the chaos in Tianyuzhou will not be resolved!"
Ji Yuan raised his hand slightly to stop Lian Baiping who was about to talk endlessly. Some fortune tellers, like Taoist Qingsong, would be eager to talk after they had calculated something, but Lian Baiping decided to hold it back at this time.
"Just as I learned the whereabouts of Tu Siyan's true body from the monsters before, I also used similar means to coerce several monsters to help track it down, and finally found out the whereabouts of many missing people in Tianyuzhou."
Ji Yuan paused and his voice became a little deeper.
"It should be a country of humans and animals. They have combined the power of many demons to raise people abducted from Tianyuzhou. There are millions of people there, which is an exaggerated number in the entire Black Wasteland..."
"The people I kidnapped from Tianyuzhou were raised as livestock..."
Dao Yuanzi's voice was low, and almost everyone present had an unpleasant look on their face. Not only was the evil he committed by destroying so many lives difficult to describe, but he was also a devil trying to slap the face of the righteous cultivators of Tianyuzhou.
"I am alone and helpless. After hearing this news, I am afraid that I can't protect thousands of people by myself, so I came to discuss with you. I hope that the righteous people of Tianyuzhou can work together this time!"
A great immortal from the Qianyuan Sect couldn't help but say.
"That's right, we must stop these evildoers!"
Ji Yuan shook his head.
"A large number of mortals have already been sent to the Black Wasteland. Are we going to just abandon them? There are many places similar to the Human and Animal Kingdom in the Black Wasteland. Are we going to just ignore them?"
Ji Yuan looked at the many immortal cultivators present, and it seemed that many of them vaguely understood what he wanted to say.
"Demons are wreaking havoc on the world, causing great suffering to all living beings. As immortals of the righteous path, why don't we join forces to cross the flood sea and conquer the Black Wasteland, slay the demons and monsters, and turn the Black Dream State upside down!"
