The handso gentleman was severely injured and defeated in the battle at Moon Waves Cave, and any suspense was already lost.
At this mont, Su Wuming cleanly slaughtered the Snake Demon, showing no rcy or tenderness.
Seeing the handso gentleman beaten half to death and the other three female demons dead, Si Nan, who was being suppressed by Ye Liuyun, transford into a white phantom and broke free from the battle group with a speed second only to the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique.
With a hoarse voice, the handso gentleman shouted, "Si Nan! Save !"
However, Si Nan's attitude toward the handso gentleman changed drastically from the previous tenderness to utter disdain and disgust.
"Waste! Absolute waste! And to think you claid to possess the bloodline of the Peacock Saint King, and this is the result? The Black Mountain Demon King thought highly of you, offering you a place under his command, yet you hesitated and resisted, leading to this downfall. It serves you right! Having slept with such a waste for so long was truly too good for you, and you still expect to save you? Dream on!"
As her words fell, Si Nan suddenly transford into a streak of white light and vanished in an instant.
Han Zheng did not pursue her, as using the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique had significantly depleted his energy, and he could no longer afford to waste energy by activating the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique to chase after her.
anwhile, the handso gentleman's face contorted with regret and remorse, as he let out hoarse screams.
He understood it all now; it was all a sche by the Black Mountain Demon, all orchestrated by Luo Dao!
Si Nan was the last female demon to co to his side and the one he cherished the most.
But unlike the other female demons, who would comply with the handso gentleman's decisions without interference,
Si Nan often whispered in his ears, praising the greatness and promising future under the Black Mountain Demon.
After Luo Dao arrived, she had strongly supported joining under the Black Mountain Demon as well.
Without Si Nan, the handso gentleman might have clearly rejected Luo Dao like King Tearing Wind did.
But it was because of Si Nan's subtle influence that he hesitated, contemplating which side to stand on.
Only at this mont did the handso gentleman realized that Luo Dao had targeted him long ago! Si Nan was a Great Demon under the Black Mountain Demon!
Even today's battle was instigated by Si Nan, aiming to make him irreversibly turn against the Demon Cleansing Departnt.
"Tsk, tsk, to die under a peony flower is to be a romantic ghost in death. Having too many wives is not a good thing, for you never know which ones harbor dreams different from your own in the sa bed."
Han Zheng shook his head slightly, walked up to the handso gentleman, and said indifferently, "So tell , where is Luo Dao? I'll make it quick for you. You should hate him, as he caused your downfall. Speak up, and I'll help you seek revenge."
The handso gentleman glared fiercely at Han Zheng, his voice hoarse as he said, "I don't know where Luo Dao is, but he once said that if one day I ca to my senses, I should go to Asking Sword Manor to find him, as his people are there."
Luo Dao was his enemy, and Han Zheng had killed his three wives, so the handso gentleman naturally hated Han Zheng as well.
He disclosed Luo Dao's whereabouts not out of fear, but because he wanted to see Luo Dao and Han Zheng destroy each other, wishing death upon both.
Sensing the intentions in the handso gentleman's heart, Han Zheng said lightly, "I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Luo Dao is destined to die and will be coming down to join you soon."
With those words, Han Zheng plunged his sword directly into the peacock's chest.
[After slaying a Late-Stage Xuan Gang Realm Great Demon, you obtain 5000 Demon Essences.]
Yan Xuankong suddenly awakened at this mont, sighing in Han Zheng's mind, "Actually, this guy wasn't really that horrific of a demon. He was comfortably living with his beautiful wives, and yet, he ended up tragically dead because he got involved in the strife between the Demon Cleansing Departnt and the Black Mountain Demon. Quite unfortunate."
Han Zheng sneered, "How is it that you suddenly feel sympathy for this demon? Not horribly evil? Guilty is guilty; there's no big or small in guilt. Was he innocent? What about the rchants who passed by Dragon Ridge and were eaten by him? Weren't they innocent? 'Different species, different hearts,' no matter whether his cris were big or small, as long as he is a man-eating demon, he deserves to die!"
"Han Zheng has always hated a saying, 'The cri is not punishable by death.'
So, what cri deserves death then?
Whether one lives or dies is decided by people, and Han Zheng naturally has his own criteria for judging whether one should die or not."
Yan Xuankong was rendered speechless by Han Zheng's rebuke, and after a long while, he snorted softly and said, "Kid, if you were born during the early days of the Great Zhou's founding, you definitely could have climbed to a high position within the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
With your mindset, you're a typical severe official, to the Martial World Sect it's like having a Living Yama.
Also, I advise you to leave Taishan Prefecture now and go back for reinforcents. The waters here are deeper than you imagine."
"Why?"
Yan Xuankong sneered and said, "I've dealt a lot with the Black Mountain Demon, that cunning and suspicious rock spirit, who's best at plotting layer by layer.
Of course, when you find one cockroach, there could already be a swarm of them underground.
You discovered the Wang Family in Jingzhou Prefecture and followed the trail all the way to Taishan Prefecture.
This isn't even Black Mountain Demon's main lair, just a place Luo Dao used for setting up his plans.
Heaven knows what Luo Dao has laid out here; the Fox Demon beside this little Peacock has been planted by Luo Dao for who knows how many years.
If Luo Dao's planning is so far-reaching, who knows what level of opponent you will uncover as you dig deeper.
You can squash one cockroach, but what about a bunch of them? Can you still squash them?"
"Why can't I?"
Han Zheng calmly said, "Old Yan, with your kind of mindset, it's no wonder that when you were in charge of the Southern Mountain, no one under you was capable.
Because you don't trust them, don't believe that they can complete tasks, you want to do everything yourself.
Chiefs Xu and Wen handed the top-ranked Kui Character Camp, and now you want to seek help from above at the first sign of difficulty, what's the point of being in charge of the Kui Character Camp then?"
Yan Xuankong didn't speak for a while.
Ever since leaving Thousand Buddha Village, seeing the current condition of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Departnt, Yan Xuankong often questioned whether he had really made a mistake in the past.
The current strength of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Departnt in the entire Great Zhou is still not too strong, even saying it's moderate might be a stretch.
But it is much stronger compared to when Yan Xuankong was in charge of Southern Mountain before.
At this ti, Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun had also finished cleaning up all the Demons in the Moon Waves Cave and had returned to report.
Ye Liuyun felt sowhat embarrassed: "I didn't expect that female demon to still have a Secret Technique on her, and even let her escape."
Five Great Demons, Han Zheng killed two, Su Wuming killed two, and he was the only one who didn't kill any and instead let one escape, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"It doesn't matter, that female demon is not an ordinary Great Demon, but a spy sent by Luo Dao to lurk beside the Jade Faced Gentleman, she was always hiding her strength, it's normal that you didn't notice."
Then Han Zheng turned to look at the slightly pale Su Wuming and shook his head gently, "Brother Su, it seems you don't have a clear understanding of your combat strength now.
With your capability, dealing with those two female demons was almost effortless, yet you still chose to burn your vital energy in a desperate fight, it seems a bit uneconomical."
Su Wuming revealed a slight smile and shook his head, "It's alright, fighting this way quickly also saves a lot of trouble.
If I don't push myself to a dead end, heaven will push to one.
Rather than letting this thieving heaven arrange all sorts of troubles for , I might as well do it myself."
Han Zheng gently shook his head.
Su Wuming's misfortune has delayed his many affairs.
Were it not for this misfortune, Su Wuming might now be able to step into the Late Stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, just like him.
At this mont, the constantly silent Yan Xuankong suddenly said, "Eh? This lad is a bit strange. Clearly, he has the Broken Army Fate Chart, charging forward unstoppably, but sothing seems to be missing from his essence, truly odd."
