Chapter 240: Junior Sister Refuses to Die (Part 71)
Once the Demon Lord died, peace returned to the Shangqing Sect.
The Ghost Mother, Mei Ji, and Jueqing Sect Master, who were injured by the Demon Queen, were helped by their disciples to meditate in a corner to heal their wounds.
The people from the nine sects and six schools breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Demon Lord and Demon Queen were dead.
The Zen master held the Bodhi pagoda in his hand and gazed thoughtfully at Bai Li. He felt that when Bai Li disappeared and reappeared, there was a similar aura to the Bodhi pagoda. Could it be that Bai Li possessed a sacred Zen relic? A magical tool comparable to a mustard seed space!
Or he could ask Bai Li. If it was something from Zen Buddhism, it would be better to return it to Zen Buddhism. If not, then he would just assume that he was wrong and he would apologize personally.
After just a few breaths, the Zen leader gave up the idea. No matter how precious the magic weapon was, it no longer belonged to the Zen sect.
He thought about the treasures of Zen Buddhism throughout the ages, and there seemed to be no such powerful treasures.
If he couldn't prove it was something from the Zen sect, he couldn't ask Bai Li to give it to him. Bai Li couldn't possibly give it to the Zen sect either. Given her status in both sects, he couldn't resort to trickery and cause unnecessary annoyance. It would be better for him not to mention it and just pretend he hadn't discovered anything.
The elders of Shangqing Sect, Huanxi Sect, and Jian Sect also breathed a sigh of relief. Although there is only one realm difference between Mahayana cultivators and Spirit Transformation cultivators, this realm is something that millions of people cannot cross. The difference in realms is like a chasm.
The human race does not have any Mahayana cultivators who can resist the Demon Lord and Demon Queen. Even if they all go together, they are no match for the demons.
The Grand Elder of Shangqing Sect was also very pleased. Not only had the Grand Elder's old injury healed, but his cultivation had also returned to its previous level. The other three sect leaders were intact, and the Taoist sect suffered relatively little loss. They also caught a lot of demon spies and demon-possessed people.
As for the war on the front line, there is no need to worry. As long as the news of the death of the two most powerful figures in the demon world, the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen, spreads, the morale of the demon soldiers and generals will be low, and the human race will win without a fight.
The demons brought by the Demon Queen this time are all top masters of the demon clan, and there are also two elders.
Two of the four great elders of the demon clan died during this trip, and the king also died. The remaining two elders either fought for the position with each other or worked together to elect a new master of the demon world. They were too busy to take care of themselves and did not dare to provoke another war between Taoism and demons in the short term.
The Daoist sect is in great peace! Without the demons stirring up trouble, there will be fewer incidents in the mortal world.
The Great Elder was happy, and An Heguang and Su Yi gathered around Bai Li, chatting and laughing with her.
But the monks from other sects, such as Guimu and Meiji, were not so happy.
When I think back on what happened today, I feel a bit resentful and angry. It turns out that this was all a plot within a plot!
When the Demon Lord appeared, the surging demonic energy made them terrified and fearful that they would die tragically at the hands of the Demon Lord.
After discovering that the Grand Elder Qingchenzi's cultivation had recovered, some people breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to worry about dying.
The young disciples were all happy. They were arranged to hide by the elders in panic. Later, even the Jindan Zhenren hid. They were really afraid that they would become food for the demons today. They all looked up and said that they would rather die than be captured by the demons. They would rather self-destruct and drag a few demons to die with them.
Now hearing that the Demon Lord and Demon Queen are dead, some are crying with joy. Who wants to die when they can live?
There were also some Divine Transformation cultivators who were jealous. They wondered what opportunity Qingchenzi had gained to transform from a dilapidated, worn-out figure into the celestial-looking Taoist he was today. How wonderful it would be if this opportunity were theirs! Perhaps they could even break through to the Divine Transformation stage and advance to the Great Vehicle stage!
Others felt that the three sects were the ones who had to be the heroes of salvation, and they just became crippled and beaten to a pulp by the Demon Queen, leaving them with no glory;
Some people even think that the three sects are using them as cannon fodder. They were holding off the attacks of the Demon Queen at the front and were almost beaten to death, but the four venerables Qingchenzi, Jianhuai, Qingshu and Yilan were indifferent and insisted on waiting for the Demon Lord to come. What if the Demon Lord hasn't come yet and they are already dead?
If it weren't for Shang Zirou who had aroused enough hatred and presence from the Demon Queen, would they have been able to survive from the hands of the Mahayana Realm Demon Clan? They were too disrespectful to them!
This is exactly what Mei Ji was thinking. The three sect leaders had not been poisoned by the Nether Soul Powder at all. They did not charge in the front, leaving them as weak creatures. They were used as bait, making the Demon Queen think that no one in the Taoist sect could defeat her and thus let down her guard.
Meiji muttered quietly, "They say that when the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The venerable ones did hold it up, but we were just pawns, sent to the front to die!"
