Chapter 973: Chapter 717: Encountering a Demon (Part 2)
And the Tai Sui Academy is one of these thirty-six academies.
This Pei Yunzhao, with his righteous justification for coming to hunt demons, yet Baili An’s intervention turns him unjustly guilty.
But no matter, even if he has a valid reason, resorting to brutal action at the slightest disagreent, using power to oppress.
If the one standing there just now wasn’t Baili An, but an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have already died under the trampling of his specially trained horse hooves.
Thus, it can be seen that this person’s nature is not benevolent.
Moreover, that so-called demon he ntioned, the demon markings on its body have yet to molt; though the demon energy is undeniable, the scent of plants and wood is clear and light, with not a trace of a murderous aura. It’s not so harmful demon.
It seems to be just a demon that has barely begun to form spiritual energy, barely transford.
Baili An said, “Master of Kongcang Mountain, Si Chen.”
“Kongcang Mountain?” Pei Yunzhao sneered, “Kongcang Mountain, near the Endless Sea, is an ownerless mountain. When did you, a supposed mountain master, appear?”
Unable to clarify his origins, he can only be a loose cultivator.
The world’s loose cultivators mostly claim to be from the Wandao Immortal Alliance.
If he truly were a loose cultivator from the Wandao Immortal Alliance, Pei Yunzhao would have to weigh it carefully, not knowing what kind of formidable backing these minor loose cultivators might have.
But this one did not claim to be from Wandao Immortal Alliance, seeming to be just a young rogue with no background.
Hearing his self-introduction, Baili An guessed that he must be within the borders of Ze Country.
Ze Country is located on the Southern Tianyao Continent, far from both the Tianxi Sword Sect and Kongcang Mountain, even by Sword Flight, it would take half a month to return.
After several great battles in the Demon World, Baili An was feeling extrely exhausted.
Upon hearing he was on the Southern Continent, he didn’t rush to leave, thinking it might be nice to finish this little issue at hand and rest in the city for a day.
Seeing that this Lord Governor from the Tai Sui Academy did not seem to be a reasonable person, Baili An didn’t bother to waste the effort to reason with him.
The Glazed Umbrella gently unfolded, with the sliding of the umbrella surface, the white tiger pattern was trimd with streaks of gold.
With a long tiger roar, the cold, white silver snow on the ground began to burn.
The jade blue flas had no warmth, even colder than the wind and snow. Pei Yunzhao and several attendants around him shivered with a piercing coldness that gnawed at their bones, yet watching the jade blue flas burn, felt a terrifying illusion as if their souls were being scorched.
Pei Yunzhao’s expression drastically changed, his lips turned pale, shivering he said, “Yin… Yin Fire? This is… this is a yin spirit ghost tiger from the Central Netherworld!”
As soon as the yin spirit ghost tiger appeared, the group fled ten feet away as if avoiding a venomous snake, looking at Baili An with extrely unpleasant expressions.
The fear and dread in their eyes also carried deep hostility.
Seeing this, Baili An thought to himself, even though the people of the Central Netherworld Dynasty are not of the Demon Path, it seems they are still unwelco on this Human Continent.
The girl rescued by Baili An was a little bamboo demon.
This little bamboo demon had lived for three hundred years, recently achieving the state of an Initial Demon, escaped the gnawing of the chuanji beast, withstood termites’ erosion, diligently cultivating to this day.
She relied on absorbing the wind essence of heaven and earth along with rootless dew for sustenance, barely making a small achievent, yet nearly died at the hands of these humans.
By the riverbank, Baili An removed the arrow from the little demon’s arm, providing basic treatnt for the injury.
She didn’t have many injuries, just one arrow wound, but it was very deep, injuring the bone.
Baili An was not a healer, and the spiritual dicine he had gathered from Ning Feiyan’s Chao Mu Hall was nearly depleted; if he wanted to heal her, he still needed a true physician to examine her.
“Brother, you’re not really human, are you?” the little bamboo demon asked, clutching her injured arm, her face showing no joy of surviving disaster, only sadness and emptiness far beyond her young age.
Baili An was not unfamiliar with such looks, he tossed away the bloodstained arrow, “How did you see that I’m not human?”
Even an immortal in tribulation might not discern Baili An’s true corpse demon form, he didn’t think a newly transford little demon could see through his nature.
Sure enough.
The little bamboo demon said, “Because no human would help save demons. For human cultivators, we demons are grinding stones on their cultivation paths, accumulating fa as ‘achievents’ and ‘battle results’.”
She looked at Baili An, “Brother, are you also a demon then?”
Baili An couldn’t deny her perspective, “As you said, I am not human, but neither am I a demon.”
Despite this answer, the little demon didn’t seem surprised, “Indeed, if you were a demon, Brother, you would have killed those hateful human cultivators just now.”
Judging by her words, the little bamboo demon seed to deeply resent and hate humans.
Baili An shook his head, “I have no penchant for killing, let’s stop chatting now, your wound is deep, your arm bone is pierced, if untreated, that arm might beco necrotic, you should co with to the city, I’ll find a physician for you.”
Hearing this, the little bamboo demon showed little emotion; she clutched her arm but did not move, her eyes fixed on Baili An’s Autumnwater Sword at his waist, suddenly saying, “Brother, your sword has no soul attached yet?”
“Mm.” Baili An didn’t know why she asked this.
The little bamboo demon’s face was pale and translucently thin, perhaps due to the pain of her wounds, she was sweating profusely, her eyes wet, the rims red, her petite body swaying as if about to fall, yet within her eyes was a determination ready to face death without fear.
