#33 - Chapter 33: Wang Lu Returns, Slays the Demon Taoist Priest

Chen Changsheng righteously slew a kingdom's prince, shocking everyone present.

For humans to cultivate demonic arts is equivalent to falling into the demonic path. Those with wavering wills will lose their rationality and gradually become demonized. For a royal family to cultivate demonic arts is even more a disgrace to the nation, and they should indeed be executed.

But if it were to be carried out, it should be the emperor who issues the execution order.

Chen Changsheng acted on behalf of Heaven, slaying the prince as a cultivator, causing everyone to be filled with shock and fear. They wondered if the emperor, upon learning of this, would punish the entire Wangjiang City.

"Slaying the prince was my doing alone, and has nothing to do with the Wang family. The Wang family only needs to truthfully report to His Majesty the prince's cultivation of demonic arts and the feeding of demonic creatures with flesh and blood."

Chen Changsheng landed in front of Wang Qingyi and said calmly.

He proactively took all the responsibility upon himself. If the Moon Forest Kingdom truly blamed them, he could simply flee far away.

But the Wang family was different. Their family was large and their business was vast, making it impossible for them to move. Moreover, ordinary people could not leave the Moon Forest Domain in their entire lives. If the Wang family were implicated, their fate would only lead to destruction.

"As for these guards, lock them all up and wait for the people from the palace to come and take them away."

The fact that the prince cultivated demonic arts required witnesses, and these guards were the best evidence, lest the palace people say it was just the Wang family's word.

"Young Master Chen… thank you!"

Wang Qingyi was moved in his heart.

It was said that cultivators were aloof and regarded ordinary people as ants. But now it seemed that was not entirely true. Only a righteous person like Young Master Chen, who sought no reward and took all the blame upon himself, deserved to be respectfully called an immortal!

Subsequent matters were all left to the Wang family to handle.

Many people in the city saw the Grand Prince enter the Wang mansion, and also heard violent noises coming from inside. They speculated that the Wang family had offended the prince and were likely facing a great disaster.

As a result, several days passed without the Grand Prince emerging.

The people from the various families in Wangjiang City were also dumbfounded. They wanted to enter the Wang mansion to find out what was going on, but they were all stopped outside and had no idea what had happened inside.

Regarding the Grand Prince's whereabouts, the Wang family kept their mouths shut, only saying that they would know after a while.

During this period of waiting for news from the palace, the entire Wang family was in a state of tension.

Although Chen Changsheng took all the responsibility, no one could guess the emperor's thoughts. If he wanted to vent his anger, the Wang family might not be spared.

The entire Wang mansion was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Just at this moment, an unexpected person returned!

"Brother Wang, your sudden disappearance has made the Wang family worry for a long time. It's been more than a year, and you haven't even sent a message."

Inside the Wang mansion's courtyard, Chen Changsheng and Wang Lu sat facing each other.

Madam Wang sat next to Chen Changsheng, gently displaying her tea skills, while next to Wang Lu sat a young Taoist priest.

The four leisurely sipped tea, discussing the events of the past year.

"This matter is my fault. I was too focused on investigating Shangguan Yu and forgot to tell the family," Wang Lu said apologetically.

Chen Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this, "Weren't you looking for Shangguan Yu? How did you end up catching demons?"

"This matter is a long story."

Wang Lu sighed and, after organizing his words, said, "My pursuit of Shangguan Yu can be described as full of ups and downs. I originally thought they were only being helped by other families in other cities, but I never expected that the demon race was behind it!"

"Tan Yun doesn't know what means she used to join the Demon Emperor Sect of the Divine Envoy Kingdom. The sect is full of humans who cultivate demonic arts!"

Chen Changsheng frowned, "Does that mean Tan Yun has cultivated demonic arts? But why can't I tell?"

Wang Lu explained in a deep voice, "Because she has a treasure on her body that conceals her demonic aura. Even the Demon-Slaying Taoist and I couldn't see it. Moreover, this woman is quite talented in demonic arts and has a high status within the Demon Emperor Sect."

"Shangguan Yu is actually Tan Yun's furnace for cultivating demonic arts. Through intercourse and extraction, this method will cause Shangguan Yu to lose his mind and amplify the negative emotions in his heart."

"Tan Yun's original intention was to control Tianmu City through Shangguan Yu, turning all the men in Tianmu City into her furnaces, turning the city into her paradise. She just didn't expect Brother Chen to be a cultivator and unintentionally disrupted her plan."

Wang Lu slightly hesitated and took a sip of tea, allowing Chen Changsheng and Wang Jiayun to slowly digest this shocking information.

The two were indeed shocked.

An affair could actually involve the demon race, and even the Demon Emperor Sect in the distant Divine Envoy Kingdom.

They originally thought Shangguan Yu was the leader, but they never thought that Tan Yun was the instigator of the incident. In contrast, Shangguan Yu was just a tragic furnace.

"Due to the help of the demon race, I encountered many demon attacks on the way of pursuit. I was almost killed once, but fortunately, I was saved by Brother Li," Wang Lu said with a serious expression.

Wang Lu said with a serious expression, "The two of us joined forces to track Tan Yun and Shangguan Yu, and discovered that the demon race was brewing a plan, with a large number of demons bewitching humans to cultivate demonic arts, including the Grand Prince Li Chengzhong!"

His voice paused again, and Zhang Qingxuan, the Demon-Slaying Taoist next to him, suddenly interjected, "Because the other party was too cunning, we lost track of those two. After thinking it over and over again, we decided to focus on the big picture and first solve the demons around the Grand Prince, so we followed the Grand Prince's trail all the way to Wangjiang City."

That was the whole story.

After all that, Wang Lu still failed to catch Shangguan Yu and Tan Yun…

Chen Changsheng frowned and said, "Li Chengzhong was killed by me for cultivating demonic arts. This matter has already been reported back to the palace. Brother Wang, do you know anything about the palace?"

"I heard it from my father and the others. Brother Chen, you can rest assured," Wang Lu said with a smile, his tone relaxed. "The national teacher of the Moon Forest Kingdom is a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi refining and can understand the consequences of demons and monsters causing trouble. I will go to the palace later to talk to him."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng and Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

What they were most worried about was that the emperor would not be able to understand. Since there was a cultivator sitting in the palace, it would be much easier to explain.

The Grand Prince was gone, but there were still the Second Prince and the Third Prince. If that didn't work, they could just keep having children.

It was really unnecessary to send troops from far away to destroy a city and family for the sake of a demonized prince.

The consequences of killing the prince were finally settled.

The following topics also became lighter.

The four drank tea and chatted, discussing the great path of cultivation, as well as homely affairs.

Zhang Qingxuan suddenly asked Chen Changsheng, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have any thoughts on joining us in slaying demons and eliminating evil?"

His tone was full of anticipation, as if he were looking at a promising talent.

Chen Changsheng smiled, "My ambition is not here. Enjoying the current life is more suitable for me."

"That's a pity," Zhang Qingxuan said with a look of regret. "Although Fellow Daoist has ordinary aptitude, I always have a premonition that Fellow Daoist's future achievements will definitely be extraordinary!"

"Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Zhang. May I know which sect you come from?"

"Star Domain, Nine Revolutions Sect!"
