The two demons scrambled out from the shadows, fell to their knees on the ground and trembled in fear.
Deng ChanYu, who was identifying medicinal herbs, was taken aback. After recognizing the appearance of the two demons, she was even more surprised.
What are you doing here, do you want to take revenge? That's not right. Last time, the three of you couldn't beat me. Now there are only two of you, and you still want to win against me? Must be relying on something?
Líshan Old Mother said lightly, "These two demons are trying to seize your residence."
Deng Chanyu suspected she had misunderstood, but the Old Mother gave her a confirming look. "You didn't hear wrong, they are that foolish; they're almost making the old woman laugh."
The two demons were lying on the ground, dared not to lift their heads.
Deng ChanYu walked in front of them and said, "Hey, lift your heads. You actually want to seize my residence? Creative, how did you think of it? Can you beat me? Or have you cultivated some strange martial arts or have something extraordinary on you?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, delivered with a slightly sarcastic tone, the two demons conditionally reflexively looked up.
The fox spirit recognized her as soon as she opened her mouth. The Partridge Spirit's reaction was slower, and when she saw her appearance, she looked like she had seen a ghost.
"You, you, you! - Are you Deng Chanyu? You're not what you are? You're not what you are?" The Partridge Spirit burst into tears directly. It was not acting pitiful, but crying to the extreme of sadness. What kind of karma have I made? I came out to die!
"I don't change my name or my surname when I walk or sit. I am Deng Chanyu, and it seems that the lesson you received last time was not deep enough." She wanted to take out the Pillar of the Sky Stone to smash the two demons to death, but for now, it was still up to the big shot to make the decision. She looked towards her back.
"Teacher, these two guys?"
"Do as you please." Líshan Old Mother said indifferently.
The fox spirit and the partridge spirit were trembling like chaff, but they dared not resist at all.
Just as Deng Chanyu was about to pick up the Pillar of the Sky Stone to kill the two demons, Báizhé crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and finally arrived.
"My mother, please forgive me. Mr. Deng, please wait a moment and suppress your anger before listening to my words."
Báizhé was truly petrified. In his heart, he cursed Yuan Hong hundreds of times, thinking, "This is the 'wise' monster you carefully selected? The last cause and effect hasn't been settled yet, and now you owe a much bigger one that involves sages. How is he going to settle this cause and effect?"
Hiding and pretending to be dead is not an option. Báizhé has the talent of understanding all things. Any matter involving him will be known to him. Moreover, sages have said that you must know if you are told. Hiding at this time is ineffective. Where could he hide?
A decisive action is inevitable, whether by ducking the blade or extending the head. He must come.
As Báizhé arrived on the scene, the nine-tailed fox spirit and the nine-headed partridge spirit trembled less severely, at least gaining a sliver of hope.
The Partridge Spirit felt a bit of luck in her heart, while the Fox Spirit was left with worry. Báizhé would definitely have to pay a great price to save them this time. Afterwards? Afterwards, at least the two demons would have to make equal to that price for Báizhé. If they couldn't do it, they would truly be unable to live and unable to die at that time.
Flee to the Western Religion? Don't be kidding. The Western Religion won't go against another saint and demonic saint just to protect these two little demons.
Deng Chanyu sized up this sudden middle-aged man, though he had come at a whirlwind pace, Báizhé still maintained his composure quite well.
Deng Chanyu thought for a moment and said, "The one who intercepted my Thunderbolt Arrow last time must be your majesty, the great demon."
Báizhé was very modest: "In front of the goddess, I dare not speak of being a saint."
The Líshan Old Mother did not want to speak with the fox spirit and the partridge spirit; she had unnecessarily lowered her status. Now that the real master was present, she was less courteous.
The Old Mother sternly asked, "Báizhé, have you gone crazy? How dare you send these two demons to confront my disciples? If I'm not here in person, what if I'm not?"
Her gaze fell on the single-edged knife in the Partridge Spirit's hand: "Don't say they're here to offer this knife, do you?"
Báizhé was almost ready to curse the two foolish spirits to death in his heart. What are your eyes for? You cause such a big mess for me!
No longer concerned about his status as a celestial being, Báizhé straightened his posture and knelt down without hesitation: "Báizhé does not know, but these two demons have dared to offend the goddess and Deng Chanyu."
He paused for a moment, the situation had not yet reached an irreversible point, the two demons were only hiding in the corner and had not made any significant moves.
"Please forgive the goddess!" Báizhé looked at the Líshan Old Mother with great sincerity, without arguing, just earnestly pleading.
The scene was silent for about ten minutes.
Deng Chanyu knew that her teacher had a very sentimental personality. If Báizhé tried to make a joke or two, he might get hit by a palm strike from the Old Mother, who is now fully angry. Now that Báizhé has no way of making a joke, his sincerity is more than apparent, and this situation is quite tricky to handle.
Knowing there was some contradiction with the side of Nuwa, who had to maintain the dignity of the sages while not wanting to completely kill her old friend, she needed to find a way out for her teacher.
Deng Chanyu smiled twice and said, "The last time you interfered in my attempt to kill these two demons, it seems like I still owe you a cause and effect."
Báizhé readily acknowledged: "It is indeed some who owes Deng Chanyu. Coincidentally, I have a great opportunity in my possession. I will offer it to Deng Chanyu."
As he spoke, he felt a pang of pain. The cost he had paid to save the two demons and to calm the situation was simply too great.
He took out a golden talisman and presented it with both hands.
Deng Chanyu received it and took a look. The talisman was well-crafted, with the most eye-catching feature being a "Huang" character on the front.
Báizhé said, "Ten yuans before, something floated in from the chaos, wrapped in a relatively tight layer of chaotic energy. I didn't inspect it closely, but it seemed to be the Dao Palace where the former East Emperor Lord once practiced on the Sun Star. I really don't know about any other treasures, but there's definitely a fire seed of the Great Sun Golden Flame inside the palace. Deng Chanyu, you have the Green Light Two-in-One Lamp; you must be a person with great cause."
Chaotic space is boundless, and its position changes every moment. Ordinary means cannot locate the Dao Palace. This talisman was personally given to me by the former East Emperor Lord, and it can locate the position of the Dao Palace. If you have time, you can investigate it in the realm of thirty-three heavens outside."
The cause and effect of sages are priceless. Killing or chopping Báizhé, no matter what, cannot be paid for. Now that Deng Chanyu has taken the responsibility for this incident, although the cost she pays still makes Báizhé bleed with pain, this is at least a matter that can be settled by paying money.
The East Emperor Lord is a top-level semi-sage, and Báizhé's current strength does not match the East Emperor who fought and died countless years ago.
The talisman that Báizhé is offering now involves the heritage of the East Emperor Lord. For Deng Chanyu, who holds the Green Light Two-in-One Lamp, it is of great value.
Deng Chanyu turned her head, saw no sign from the Líshan Old Mother, and immediately performed a bow: "Thank you for your generous gift from the demon saint."
"Goddess, Mr. Deng, Báizhé withdraws." Báizhé bowed deeply to the Líshan Old Mother and Deng Chanyu, then gave the two demons a very fierce look, indicating for them to follow him. After that, he walked away quickly.
