What did he mean? Did he want to write the Demonic Priest’s name?
Although there must be hidden reasons, Demonic Priest did massacre a demon descendant family after all. Even Aoki Yui admitted that the Demonic Priest cooperated with the Aoki family to deal with the native demon descendant families. In those days, even if a man was just a landlord during the war, the post-war community would destroy him after that, much more if he had actively cooperated with the Japanese force.
Anyway, this seemed to be the continuation of the story. Li Xianyu was inexplicably excited.
The word “Demonic Priest” had caused a frown on everyone’s face. In the recent century, there had been two major upheavals that shook the demon descendant community. Twenty years ago, various forces fought for the treasures of the Great Deities’ Palace to encircle Li Wuxiang. Speaking of this matter, there was an inextricable connection with the matter with Demonic Priest.
Before the Demonic Priest, the Great Deities Palace was just a legend. Even the Qing Dynasty did not find it using all means available to the entire country. The Demonic Priest was the first one to enter the Pantheon. He obtained treasures from it and within a short time, he made great progress and finally reached the Gokudo Path.
This was partly due to his own talent, but the outside world did not care about it. Everyone only knew about how after entering the Great Deities Palace and obtaining the treasures within, one would become an invincible expert.
The Great Deities Palace meant reaching the Gokudo Path, which meant invincibility.
So when the world knew that Li Wuxiang was the second one to enter the Pantheon Palace and that he also obtained some treasure that shook the world, one could imagine that the demon descendant community was in a frenzy. However, Li Wuxiang, who was unwilling to disclose what the real treasure looked like until his death, started a conflict with all the forces in the world.
Li Wuxiang’s storm was still alright. Although the losses were heavy, it was still within the tolerable range. However, that incident with the Demonic Priest was a real disaster. The entire Taoist Faction was beaten and half abandoned. Buddhist and other forces were hurt.
This was just like the secret from 1999. It was a taboo and an event that the demon descendant community was not willing to mention.
“What do you mean, Li Zhu? What do you want to do when you mention the Demonic Priest at this Forum Conference?”
“In those days, when the Taoist forces eliminated the remaining forces of Demonic Priest, we missed you out. Instead of hiding and enjoying your retirement, you jumped out, and think that the Taoist Faction will not seek you out after?”
“Li Peiyun is the leader of the Ancient Gods Clan and the Inheritor of the Demonic Priest. Your history was not glorious either. Since you are here today, you can’t leave.”
It was not just Taoists who were enraged by this arrogance. Buddhists were also expressing their distaste.
The position as the direct disciple of the Demonic Priest was taboo. Since it was brought up, the Taoist and Buddhist forces will no longer let sleeping dogs lie.
The Lightning King pressed his hand, and motioned to the eager employees around him to be calm. Li Peiyun was worth 300 contribution points in Baoze’s wanted list, which was quite a huge income.
“First, let’s see what he wants to do. Don’t worry. The two came to the debate meeting knowing that they would not be allowed to leave,” said the Lightning King.
As long as Li Xianyu didn’t mix in, there would be no big deal. Baoze could sit on the sideline, and watch the play unfold first.
At this time, he heard King Kong and Kato Eagle murmur, “This is supposed to be just a Forum Conference, why are there so many unexpected incidents?”
“Yes, yes. First, Elder Hua Yu committed suicide. Now we are suddenly on the topic of the Demonic Preist. It just keeps getting more and more out of hand.”
“Do you think it’s because of Li Xianyu? After all, wherever the trouble magnet goes, there would be more troublesome matters.”
“We, Baoze, are in danger again this time.” One sighed.
The Lightning King’s veins popped. “What rubbish! All shut the hell up.”
“Don’t worry, my story hasn’t begun yet.” The old man smiled nonchalantly. “Since I came here today, I had not intended to leave.”
“I was born in a small rural village in Hunan Province. That year when Changsha was occupied by the Japanese, Hunan Province was mostly occupied. They are only interested in the town, so the countryside became a playground for the Japanese forces to plunder, kill, and have fun.”
“One day, a group of people came to the village. They said that they had escaped from Changsha. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese army, they fled here. The leader was a young Taoist, whose name is Wang Chen. And his younger martial sister Wang Zhen…” Li Zhu recounted the names of the demon descendants around the Demonic Priest.
“Taoist priest, Wang Chen was a good man. He organized the young and strong people in the village. He gave us weapons and equipment that he took from the Japanese and led us to fight against the Japanese army. Every day we trod carefully, but we were full of fighting spirit, that was the safest and most meaningful time in my life.” Li Zhu’s words caused a lot of uproar in the audience.
“Chen Fu is the elder of our Chen family. Didn’t he die in Changsha long ago? How can he mix with Demonic Priest?”
“Wang Bo is my cousin’s eldest brother. He was said to have surrendered to the Japanese following the demons and was finally killed.”
“Eh, didn’t the Demonic Priest turn to the Japanese army after the fall of Changsha? I haven’t heard of this experience.”
“Well… Remember the battle for the remains of the Demonic Priest a few days ago. The participants at that time once revealed that the place where the relics were stored was the site of an Anti-Japanese Guerilla team. Fu Shan also read the diary of the Demonic Priest in public. But why hadn’t anyone talked about this piece of history? ”
“I have a very bad feeling. I feel like something is going to happen,” someone said.
After decades, not to mention young people, even the older generation may not know this part of history. The Demonic Priest, as a world-famous Gokudo Path, whether he was righteous or villain, was enough to leave a strong mark in the history of the demon descendant community. However, his records were short and unclear. That was not logical.
“A bunch of nonsense. Since the fall of Changsha, Demonic Priest gathered his friends and joined the Japanese army. He refused to be part of the nation and betrayed us. With just your story, you wanted to turn black and white and turn a sinner into a hero?” A famous Taoist made an angry retort.
“Whether I’m telling the truth or not, you’ll know later. It’s not me who distorts history, it’s you who did it,” Li said with a sneer.
“Bullshit!”
“Nonsense!”
“Old bastard, you dare to taint our reputation.”
The Taoists were furious.
“Later, our team grew slowly, and many demon descendant experts joined us.” The old man didn’t care about verbal abuse and continued.
“What he said should be the last scene I saw, elder martial sister Taisu and… Cao Jun.” Li Xianyu was very excited. He knew that the old man was going to tell him the continuation of the story.
“But we are gradually being noticed by the Japanese army and the people of the Aoki family. The Japanese army began to search our strongholds in various counties and villages. In order to force us to appear, they even slaughtered the villages. ”
Aoki Yui felt that people around her were giving her strange gazes. Although it was history and what the Aoki family did during World War II had nothing to do with her, she had to carry this blame as a representative of the young generation of the modern Aoki family, .
For some reason, Aoki Yui couldn’t help looking at Li Xianyu in the distance. He was also looking at her. After crossing gazes, Li Xianyu frowned. Despite being unfazed by the countless gazes of the people around, Aoki Yui suddenly felt some inexplicable grievances.
“Until one time, a team of people we sent out didn’t come back on time. At that time, we were all very worried. After three days of searching, we didn’t find their trace… On the fourth night, our secret stronghold was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army. Apart from the team of fighters that Priest Wang Chen brought out, most of them died. Those who did not die became captives of the Japanese army. ”
“The Demonic Priest betrayed you?” someone shouted.
“I was able to hide from the Japanese because of my power,” Li Zhu said. His body gradually faded, became translucent, and then disappeared. The next moment, he reappeared “It’s not the Demonic Priest who has betrayed us, but the Wang Qing of Quanzhen Sect and Cao Jun of Cao family.”
“They were captured by the Japanese army that day. They were greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to survive, they betrayed us. My former companion personally led the enemy to wave a butcher’s knife at us.” The old man’s voice had a distinct tremor.
“I watched them slay their former comrades and fight for the enemy. I watched them attempting to rape Sister Taisu and thereby forcing her to commit suicide.” At this point, the old man and his body trembled a little. It was obvious that the past was a nightmare for him.
Sister Taisu… Committed suicide?!
In the corner that no one noticed, Li Xianyu slowly withered down, and he didn’t even have the strength to sit stably.
“What’s the matter with you?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Great-Grandma held Li Xianyu at the same time.
Li Xianyu’s face was pale, and his eyes were red. He murmured, “I should have thought of it. I should have thought of it… She and her younger martial sister were erased from the list. This was the best answer.”
If they hadn’t encountered such an accident, how could they be erased from the list? In fact, from the moment Mo Fei told him this information, he should have guessed the ending of Taisu and the younger martial sister.
He deceived himself and didn’t want to think about it.
How could Sister Taisu bear to be insulted and shamed, given her cold and proud character? Such a character, living in such troubled times, would be almost guaranteed a dead end.
“I dare not move when I watch my companions being killed, for fear of being found by them. In order to completely eradicate us, they set up an ambush on the way to the stronghold and captured Priest Wang Chen as well.”
“In order to cover up their crimes and escape the fate of being killed later, on the eve of the surrender of the Japanese army, a group of gangsters rushed into the village and killed all the villagers, pretending to be the last-ditch craze of the Japanese army. Their purpose was only to kill people. It was because some villagers saw the two bastards that day and saw that they were willing to be Japanese dogs to save their lives.”
“Those gangsters were from Cao’s family. They thought things were done seamlessly. However, the Heavens would certainly bear witness to their acts, and so did I. I am the only one who survived in the village. I survived because of this hatred. ”
“Now you know why Priest Wang Chen wants to destroy Cao’s family. It’s because they deserve to die. They deserve to die!” The old man was like a madman, shouting, “They should die,” over and over again. In this gigantic arena, only his crazed voice remained.
“Haha. When he killed Cao’s family, I was already with Wang Chen. Apart from that night when he was dying, it was the craziest time for Wang Chen. Of course, I also gave him a push to make him go crazy. Without my help, how could he absorb the qi of Cao’s masters and step into the Gokudo Path with his despair? Ah, if he hadn’t made a breakthrough at that time, I would have taken over his body.”
Li Xianyu slowly closed his eyes, imagining how Demonic Priest felt at that time. The comrades in arms who lived by his side were betrayed and died. A loved one commited suicide in despair. His life was completely turned around.
No wonder he wanted to destroy the Cao family by the hand of the Aoki family, which was the most powerful family in the demon descendant community at that time.
Li Xiangyu knew how terrible Slime’s enragement was. It was really respectable that the Demonic Priest had not lost himself in the rage. That determination alone was really amazing.
Aoki Yui said that the incident where Demonic Priest killed the experts of the Aoki family should be after Cao Family was decimated. The two sides reached an agreement where Demonic Priest took them to the Great Deities Palace while they helped the Demonic Priest destroy the Cao family. As a result, the Aoki Family was bitten in the back by the empowered Demonic Priest.
Li Xianyu gradually pieced together the truth of that year, but there were still other questions that were not answered.
“But there’s another person who didn’t get the punishment he deserves. His fellow senior brother, Quanzhen Sect, Wang Qing!” Li Zhu said with hatred, “After destroying Cao’s family, it was hard to wash away the evil name of Wang Chen who joined the Japanese army. At that time, the Aoki family was also promoting the alliance with Wang Chen, so that he had no way back. As the whole demon descendant community knew, he entered the Great Deities palace and got some treasures. He grew from a little Taoist to a strong man at the top of the world.”
“Therefore, Quanzhen Sect announced that they would banish Wang Chen. They smeared his name and slandered him, and shaped him into a devil who should be killed by others. In your story, after the fall of Changsha, he gathered the fallen people of ordinary blood origin, joined the Japanese army, and became the pawn of the Japanese army. Anyone who speaks for him will be labeled as a traitor and will be eliminated.”
“Quanzhen Sect’s plan was easy to succeed because that’s what those people wanted. They didn’t need the truth. What they wanted was that Wang Chen was a person who must be destroyed. That’s enough.”
“What nonsense!” a Taoist shouted.
“Is it hard to understand?” The old man laughed wildly and fiercely retorted, “Isn’t this what the righteous side often do? Twenty years ago, didn’t you kill Li Wuxiang like this? Who cares whether he is a good man or not? He had the treasures of the Great Deities Palace. If he doesn’t want to share them with you, he will die. He must be killed.”
“Am I right, Taoist Reverend?” The old man looked at the direction of the Taoist gate, and his eyes were fixed on the leader, and continued, “Or should I call you, Priest Wang Qing?”
A deafening silence ensued!
