Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

Qi Wu Yue interrupted him, and said in a sincere manner: "Why don't I help you kill this demon bamboo? As for the reward, I am not greedy. Half of the body of the Cui Luan Demon Bamboo will be enough. How about it?"

The words fell.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound suddenly came from the bamboo basket.

The demon bamboo panicked and broke off a piece of ordinary spiritual bamboo with its thin branches.

Zhu Qingping's eyes dilated slightly for a moment, then returned to normal.

He stopped talking, but his expression seemed like he was... thinking?

He was seriously considering Qi Wu Yue's proposal.

The demon bamboo was born to cause trouble, with a vicious nature, and it devoured blood and life. It had no choice but to do so...

After all, he could only barely check and balance the demon bamboo, but could not seal it completely. If the root of evil was not eradicated, there was no guarantee that it would not harm people again.

If we can really kill it, we can eliminate the trouble forever.

Thinking of this, the green-robed monk's gaze gradually became firm.

Zhu Qingping was still thinking, but the demon bamboo behind him had already reached the limit of his patience, and his voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed as if it was squeezed out.

"You are still hesitating! Are you also thinking of killing me?"

"Are you crazy!"

"If I die, will you still be able to survive?!"

The demon bamboo was roaring, and its anger made it surpass its fear of the immortal cultivators.

Qi Wu Yue narrowed his eyes.

As the rumors said, they coexist as one.

interesting.

Qi Wu Yue smiled, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

"The mission reward should be a happy one, why make it so bloody? In my opinion, it should be settled with a thin branch of the demon bamboo."

Bamboo Green Bottle and the demon bamboo were born from the same body and their lives are connected. Even if only a thin forked bamboo branch is separated from the demon bamboo, it will manifest on Bamboo Green Bottle as a broken arm.

Qi Wu Yue curled his lips: "Why? Is it difficult?"

Zhu Qingping said without blinking: "But——"

Yaozhu interrupted him by shouting, "No!"

Qi Wu Yue pretended to be helpless and said, "This lord is forcing you to do something difficult. Then I will take a step back and give you ten drops of bamboo essence."

Yao Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Shi Di, why don't you go and grab it! You are clearly trying to make things difficult for me. You might as well just kill me if you ask for such a high price!"

"There is still some if you squeeze in." Qi Wu Yue's expression was extremely gentle, but the words he said made Yao Zhu extremely angry.

"It's simply wishful thinking!" Yaozhu shouted angrily.

Qi Wu Yue chuckled, his eyes were cold, "I gave you the opportunity to choose, but I don't have much patience. If you procrastinate, I don't mind helping you choose."

Yaozhu gritted his teeth but could do nothing.

Losing the twig would be like cutting off an arm, which would seriously damage both him and the old-fashioned fool.

Although bamboo essence is precious, it can be accumulated slowly as long as you take good care of it.

Just ten drops of bamboo essence were almost his limit and would leave him in a weak state for a long time.

"Okay, ten drops then." Yaozhu seemed to force these words out from between his teeth.

When Qi Wu Yue returned, Xiao Lin was already in the courtyard.

The little Yin spirit stood up and came over to him and said impatiently: "I have poured the water in the bucket according to your request. What's next?"

"What's the rush?"

Qi Wu Yue raised his hand and rubbed the little Yin spirit's head into a mess, then handed a transparent jade bottle to Xiao Lin.

There are ten drops of emerald green liquid scattered in the jade bottle. They are clearly in liquid form, but they look like gas, floating in various places in the bottle with certain gaps between them, as if there is a force repelling each other and preventing them from merging.

"What is this?" Surprise appeared in Xiao Lin's eyes.

Even through the jade bottle, he could feel the amazing energy contained in this thing.

"You should have guessed the person who issued this task."

"Mr. Zhu, one of the three masters of the academy."

"Yes, it's him." Qi Wu Yue said happily.

"His experience is quite extraordinary. Does the Demon Suppression House know about it?"

Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said, "It is recorded in the Records of the Geography of Zhongzhou that the Demon Suppression Palace exists between Zhongzhou and the Demon Territory, like a natural barrier that separates the two realms.

The Demon-Suppressing Prefecture was originally formed by the merger of several three-star cities, and later became the Seven-Star City.

Because of their special location, conflicts often occur between the demon race and human monks, often resulting in countless casualties.

The major sects have also sent powerful men to station there many times, and over a long period of time, the Demon-Suppressing Mansion was formed.

The Demon Suppression House has its own unique operating mechanism, which is responsible for balancing the conflicts between humans and demons. "

Qi Wu Yue exclaimed: "Not bad, you remember it more clearly than I do. In fact, it is also an incident that happened in the past hundred years."

"An object from outer space, the Cui Luan Demon Bamboo, has half the power of becoming an immortal."

"It falls from the sky, devours monsters if it encounters them, and eats humans if it encounters them."

"And the place where it fell happened to be on the border between the Demon Realm and Zhongzhou."

"Near the Demon Suppression Mansion."

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and shook it with a smile.

“The Demon Realm paid an unknown price to force that guy back from the land, so the Demon Bamboo could only harm the human race.

That guy devoured millions of monks, which caused a lot of uproar back then. The Demon Suppression Mansion also suffered heavy casualties in that battle.

Later, I heard that the Demon Suppression House and the Heavenly Lord sealed the demon bamboo in the body of a newborn baby, and the disaster was completely stopped. "

Xiao Lin was a little surprised, "Could it be that the child..."

Qi Wu Yue said meaningfully, "He is the son of the Lord of the Demon Suppression Mansion, the young master of the Demon Suppression Mansion, named Zhu Huan Qing Ping."

He half sighed, half sneered: "It can be said that he is selfless."

Xiao Lin was silent, looking stunned, "Ping means vessel. This name..."

Qi Wu Yue said without any burden: "It's just an irony."

As for Zhu Qingping, he is a saint through and through.

Sometimes, some people.

From the moment of birth, suffering begins.
