Who told you to slay demons like this?

After receiving the transfer order, Qin Xi and others took their things with them, and at the urging of the Demon Slaying Division, they rode on the demon horses and rushed to the battlefield.

Apart from Lord Xiang who was guarding Rongnan City, the only ones left were the prepared demon slayers and yamen runners who had not yet gained their breath.

People like Captain He also set out on the journey.

Although it is unknown whether Rongnan City will be disrupted by demons again in the future, the current situation forces the Demon Slaying Division to be unable to do anything even if they want to.

The purpose of this trip is to rush to guard Yiguan Pass, which is the city closest to Yingyang Pass and also the city that the demon-slaying army must defend.

Once a pass is lost, the demons will be able to march in and do whatever they want in the Dashun Dynasty.

Rongnan City is not too far from Shouyi Pass. With the help of a demon horse, it can be reached within one day.

Along the way, Qin Xi's mind was full of questions.

Now that the situation is critical, why don’t the masters guarding the Merit Pavilion from various places provide support?

Why was it that despite his extraordinary strength, Lu Lingjue, due to the pressure from the emperor, allowed Master Liaobi to suffer a crushing defeat, but was unwilling to rebel against the Dashun Dynasty and fight the demons?

When Mo Zhanji heard Qin Xi's question, he was shocked and said, "Auntie, don't say such things!"

Qin Xi looked puzzled, "Why?"

Mo Zhanji sighed softly, then approached Qin Xi and lowered his voice, "Forget it, forget it."

"If I don't tell you, I'm afraid you will ask about it in front of others."

"You just listen to me when I talk about this, but never mention it in front of others."

Looking at Mo Zhanji with a mysterious face, Qin Xi nodded solemnly.

"It's no secret that the Pavilion Master who guards the Pavilion of Merit is not from the Dashun Dynasty."

"The Pavilion Masters are all sent down by immortals to guard the Merit Pavilion."

"The Pavilion Master of the Meritorious Pavilion is responsible for guarding the martial arts secrets of the Pavilion. Their duty is only to prevent the martial arts secrets from being stolen. Killing demons and monsters is not their job."

Qin Xi was curious, "Immortal?"

"Exactly. Tens of thousands of years ago, demons arose everywhere, wreaking havoc on the human world. The human dynasty was in ruins. It was at that critical moment of survival that the immortals descended."

"The immortal can destroy the world with a wave of his hand, pluck the stars with his hands, and step on the sky with his feet. It is an existence that cannot be described."

"The immortals could not bear the suffering of the people, so they specially gave martial arts secret manuals. With the help of the immortals, various countries set up demon-slaying departments to resist the invasion of demons."

"The many Pavilion Masters guarding the Meritorious Pavilion are all from the Great Desolate Xuan Sect. The Great Desolate Xuan Sect does not care about worldly affairs and does not compete with the world. They follow the will of the immortals and are only responsible for protecting the martial arts secrets of the Meritorious Pavilion."

"Even if it is a demon, it will not embarrass the disciples of the Great Desolate Xuan Sect."

Qin Xi frowned upon hearing this, "Since you are an immortal, why don't you kill all the demons and protect the people of the world, and only leave behind the martial arts secrets?"

Mo Zhanji sighed when he heard this, "In the eyes of immortals, all living beings are equal."

"Humans are fate, and demons are also fate. When the immortals set foot here, they once said that the strong prey on the weak. Demons eat humans, and humans also eat demons. There is no right or wrong."

"Demons are born with infinite lifespans, and humans are weak and have no ability to resist, so they bestow martial arts secrets upon us."

"The demons live in dangerous places, which are not as rich as humans. They don't have abundant spiritual energy, and their cultivation depends on years of accumulation."

"This is why demons continue to invade the dynasty."

……

Listening to Mo Zhanji's explanation of the Pavilion of Merit and the Great Wilderness Xuanzong, Qin Xi was speechless.

Mo Zhanji spoke incessantly and eloquently as he described the conflict between humans and demons on this land over tens of thousands of years.

"As for the Lu family..."

"Do you know that the whole world belongs to the king? Even though the Lu family is extremely talented and powerful, they can turn the tide and stop the invasion of the demon army."

"But the Dashun Dynasty is still ruled by the Zhu family."

"The emperor is appointed by heaven, following the will of the immortals, and blessed by the dragon veins. No one in the court dares to disobey the emperor's orders!"

"Even if you are as strong as General Lu, once you are imprisoned, you will not be able to leave this prison without the emperor's pardon."

"This is the right granted to the emperor by the immortals. If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die!"

"It's just that the Lu family is too important, and everyone knows it. Even if the emperor is too incompetent, he can't really deal with the Lu family. After all, the emperor can only restrain the court officials, not the demons."

Listening to Mo Zhanji's story, Qin Xi was extremely confused.

I don't know what the situation is with this immortal. He actually entrusted the safety of the dynasty to one family. If he met a wise emperor, it would be fine. But if he met a foolish and incompetent emperor, wouldn't it be...

Seeing Qin Xi's thoughtful look, Mo Zhanji reminded him again, "I thought you would know this kind of news, but I never thought you really knew nothing."

"Remember, when you arrive at the Guardian Pass, you must keep your mouth shut. You must not say such outrageous words in public!"

Qin Xi seemed to be thinking about something. Facing Mo Zhanji's repeated reminders, he could only nod perfunctorily.

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

As Mo Zhanji continued to tell the story, Qin Xi's confusion gradually became clear.

The Dashun Dynasty was located in a fortress, and was the first obstacle for the demons to occupy the human race.

In fact, the Dashun Dynasty was not weak. Even though the emperor was incompetent and the court was full of intrigue, the Dashun Dynasty still had a deep foundation.

It's just that the years of war have hindered development.

Fortunately, the powerful Lu family has been guarding the border for ten years to prevent the invasion of demons, which has prevented the people from suffering.

Having said that, the fighting on the front line is tense, and even a strong family like the Lu family still needs troops to resist the invasion of demons.

Therefore, most of the masters of the Demon Slaying Bureau who have entered the Dan Realm or even the Qi Realm are often transferred to the battlefield to resist the army of demons.

The long years of war consumed countless manpower, financial resources, and material resources. The shortage of supplies alone had already made the Dashun Dynasty impoverished and weak.

The Daliang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty and the State of Chen, which hid behind the Dashun Dynasty, seemed to have no idea of ​​the principle of survival and death, and did not provide any help to the Dashun Dynasty at all.

Fortunately, there is the Lu family that suddenly emerged. Every head of the Lu family is a general who can take the lead and guard all directions.

Lu Lingjue lived up to the reputation of the Lu family. His strength became stronger and stronger. He could single-handedly rush into the blood demon pool and massacre the demon king!

After a tiring journey by boat and train, the people of Rongnan City finally came to Shouyi Pass.

Shouyi Pass is not as prosperous as other Rongnan cities. The people in the city have all fled, and the weathered city looks quite old.

Although it has not completely turned into ruins, it is pretty old.

The remaining demon slayers retreated here, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Hearing that General Lu Lingxian had already led the Lu family's personal soldiers to this place, and with General Lu guarding this place, the demon army did not move for the time being.

But everyone knew that a war was about to break out.

The Dashun Dynasty cannot lose this battle.

Once defeated in war, it will be the pain of national destruction.

Fortunately, Lu Lingjue's arrival gave peace of mind to the terrified army of demon slayers.

Lu Lingjue was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea. After her arrival, the originally broken morale of the army was revived.
