The plague demon, in front of the crowd, clearly stated the relationship between him and I. The reason why he was refuted by Tang wu was simple: the scene he played on the Juqu Mountain was like a wolf cried, before the earth demon ghost wanted to drag me down again. This made his disciples who were already vigilant feel threatened.
He had been tried and tested so many times that naturally, no one believed him.
That was also his fate.
Before, at Changfeng Daoist Temple, the night shift official began issuing orders to me not to target Wei Youming but first target the ghost of qi from the Gatekeeper Official. He even dropped a threat that I had indulged the plague demon for personal desires and, if something went wrong, he would take my life and involve my parents in the repercussions!
It was almost a breaking point, but it was Tang Wu who timely intervened and suppressed the plague demon.
After that, the plague demon returned to the city god temple and, when he met us, he didn't approach us again. His eyes had a sense of alertness and resentment.
I didn't want to let him eat the plague demon, and I was afraid he would immediately tear his face and lie down. At that time, I couldn't find a good excuse or reason.
After the previous flashes of lightning and thunder, the night sky now was clear with a bright moon and sparse stars, very clean and transparent.
Most of the disciples were not affected much, only some from the Jingu Mountain suffered some casualties. They gathered together in small groups, muttering something in low voices.
Some people approached me, their eyes carrying a slight heat, asking me what it felt like to use such a profound Daoist arts that reached the level of opening the Daoist hall before.
I was a bit distracted, of course, I couldn't show it. I made an effort to explain to these disciples, who were trying to absorb my experience.
"Brother Wu, I have something I want to ask you," I looked at Wu Bing.
At this moment, Tang Wu glanced at me.
In fact, I've told Tang Wu a lot about Wu Ling, including Mao You San, the Xu family, and Mr. Qu. He is well-informed about these matters.
My relationship with Wu Ling is somewhat complicated, so it's better to keep a distance. In Tang Wu's eyes, this is the only normal thing. This time, when I initiated a conversation with Wu Ling, naturally, he felt suspicious.
"Little Uncle, you can say anything." Wu Ling looked up, his face still pale.
"Um, not just asking you, but also asking Mr. Tao, after all, your master should be more familiar with the plague demon." I added.
Tang Wu's gaze fell onto us three, and there was a faint understanding in his eyes.
At this point, even Tang Wu thought that I was really talking to Wu Ling and Tao Zhi about the plague demon matter.
"This..." Wu Ling's pupils slightly contracted, showing a hint of caution. Nodding, he said, "Indeed, the earth's qi is not yin-yang qi, but it is something that grows naturally from the earth. The master in charge of studying yin-yang knows more about it. Even if I'm not very clear about it, Brother Tao can explain."
"The plague demon, which was devoured by the night supervisor earlier, was devoured once before. Although the eldest brother extinguished that night supervisor, will it be possible that the current night supervisor can't devour the plague demon? Just like the plague demon couldn't devour Master Uncle, this is a matter of level. I may sound redundant in what I say, but it's of great importance. Brother Wu and Brother Tao must carefully consider this." My expression was somewhat serious.
Am I lying? I'm not.
Just that Wu Ling is someone who likes to plan so much. If there's a time for him to carry out his plans or show his true colors, he won't miss it.
At this moment, another person walked over, it was Mao You San.
He Ou Tian only led the others downstairs, while Mao Si was dealing with Uncle Official's remains.
"Um, what You San said is indeed correct. The plague demon is particularly cunning and must be on guard. I'm saying a hypothetical possibility, if he wasn't fully digested by the night supervisor, it could form a counterattack and even appear in the form of the night supervisor. The city god temple is a place where the boundary is violated, wouldn't that be his best incubator?" Mao Si spoke in a very serious tone.
My mind settled slightly.
Mao Si is greedy and cunning.
People like him are often suspicious by nature, coupled with the involvement of Uncle Official, it's no wonder he fell for it!
"That..." Wu Ling and Tao Zhi exchanged a glance, both silent, as if pondering. Tao Zhi even made a gesture as if calculating something.
"You are very vigilant, Xianshen," Tang Wu exhaled a breath of impurities and nodded.
"The probability of the plague demon's counterattack is not 0. If its earth qi remains in other places, it might form a new plague demon before it can be found by the night supervisor. Moreover, there is also a possibility that the two true masters, Xianshen little uncle, have you considered why this plague demon dares to be so bold and doesn't leave any backup? It's strange that it waits here for us."
"He might have thought about it, that the night supervisor can't eat him, or maybe in some places, he has new preparations?"
Wu Ling spoke with certainty.
Tao Zhi nodded and continued the conversation, saying, "According to my calculations, another method should be used to suppress the plague demon. We must not take risks. Otherwise, this kind of demon will definitely seek revenge if anything goes wrong."
"The major Daoist schools have their own methods to suppress the plague demon. It's just that the night supervisor is more convenient. It's better for me to notify my school, choose a suitable fengshui location, invite various true masters to deal with it and seal it, and then have various Daoist Observatories send people to guard it year-round. There are some public secrets in the Yin-Yang realm, such as Juqu Mountain and Gucheng City that guard terrible things. The formation of the mountain gate once had a relationship with yin-yang masters. Isn't the Four Regime Mountain also familiar with Tianji Dao Ren?" Tao Zhi spoke with firm words.
Mao Si nodded first and continued, "Juqu Mountain seems suitable to me. I can make the decision. Mr. Cinnamon, can you also decide for Yunjin Mountain? Or let him wait until other true masters come out to decide together?"
Tang Wu thought for a while before saying, "This suggestion is indeed reasonable and makes sense. The night supervisor is not pure enough either. He has a temper that is harsh and blunt, which may be because he was the new night supervisor called out after the previous one was swallowed, without much time to settle."
Tang Wu was also aware of some of the attitudes of the night supervisor.
Their conversation made me feel at ease and I didn't say anything.
Wu Ling's eyes brightened a lot, as if the shock caused by Wei Youming earlier had retreated because he was in charge of this matter.
"In that case, we will follow the two true masters' words. The night supervisor should not consume the plague demon to avoid a counterattack that could lead to a great calamity. Yes, Brother Tao will take the lead in returning to his school, and perhaps I can go along with him."
"This matter requires cooperation from the yin-yang masters and various Daoist schools to be truly secure!"
"I think we should build another city god temple, open the Daoist hall to practice, and then condense the night supervisor again to guard it. This would be a collaborative effort from the three parties!" Wu Ling spoke more and more vigorously, his demeanor more and more excited!
Just then, a shadow suddenly descended from the sky, landing beside Wu Ling. The two heads of the night supervisor looked particularly cold and icy, all fixed on Wu Ling.
Wu Ling's eyelids jumped violently. He was scared by the sudden appearance of the night supervisor.
"What did you just say?"
"Plague Demon, don't let me eat it?"
"And we need to build another City God Temple and summon the Night Supervisor to guard it?"
"You are going to join the plague demon and sink into evil?" The night supervisor's voice was terrifyingly loud, with his eyes looking fierce and twisted, as if he was going to swallow Wu Ling whole!
