Chapter 1572: Chapter 953: Rescue (Part 2)

The Demon Saint Spear momentarily disregarded Tai Li, who was lost in thought, and once again broke through the air, leaving Tai Li—the Peacock King—dazed and dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened.

“You should return. Now that two demon kings are dead, you’re actually better suited to lead, and the Demon Saint Spear will assist you.”

Tao Yu had no intention of keeping Tai Li, even though compared to the other two demon kings, Tai Li might indeed leave behind something valuable.

But the world as it is now is already overwhelmed with the knowledge it’s acquired; overindulgence leads to indigestion. If Tai Li leads the Demon Clan, he might also become part of my Human Dao in the future!

“How do you explain this? Other demon clans won’t take this lightly so easily; not even the Demon Saint Spear could suppress them.”

Tai Li’s face showed bitterness.

The Demon Saint Spear agreed!

Do I have to go against the will of the Demon Saint Spear…

Yet the Demon Saint’s successor is still young, and the time it takes the Demon Saint to emerge is far too long. The grudge of killing two demon kings at least makes it difficult for those two clans to let go, and other demon clans are apt to react like rabbits mourning a fox.

“What do you mean, not taking this lightly? Weren’t they incited by the Demon Path to be killed? Or else, would it be me?”

Tao Yu said, somewhat surprised. This left not only Tai Li dumbfounded but also caused Sima Shi—who had been spectating via the array—to stumble.

Could it be that it wasn’t you who killed them?

But upon careful thought, blaming it on the Demon Path’s instigation does seem plausible.

After all, the Demon Path’s Dharma Body was clearly selling out his teammates without even showing his face.

Whether it happened before or after the betrayal isn’t really that important…

“You’re a Dharma Body, a demon king, and supported by the Demon Saint Spear. Whoever opposes you, just pierce them—how simple!”

Tao Yu, wielding the Human Emperor Sword, floated over and patted Tai Li’s shoulder, revealing shiny white teeth in a smile…

——

Under the Divine Capital’s array, everyone watched as Tai Li turned into a streak of light and left, their expressions showing hesitation.

Meanwhile, Tao Yu had already flown down and loudly proclaimed:

“Tai Li told me that back then, he conspired together with Demon Master Han Guang against Kong Wen Monk. Actually, Kong Wen Monk has been sealed in a small world by them all this time, and recently it’s been Demon Master Han Guang disguised. Now that Han Guang has been defeated, he fears it might endanger Kong Wen Monk, so I’m going to rescue him.”

Tao Yu’s sudden revelation shocked everyone present.

No wonder Kong Wen Monk didn’t show up as promised!

If it weren’t for Hong Xuanji, young master, turning the tide, we might have really taken a huge hit this time.

The Righteous Path would suffer heavy losses; the balance between the forces of righteousness and evil would instantly be lost!

“Is that so? Then what about Elder Chong He?”

Cui Qinghe’s face still showed a purple gleam, his aura unstable.

Hearing this news, he couldn’t even bother healing.

“It’s a shame for my old Daoist self.”

Just then, an extremely weak voice was heard as a Daoist staggeringly maneuvered a magical artifact flying over.

It was Chong He!

However, Chong He was in even worse condition than Cui Qinghe, appearing as if barely clinging to life, unable to even manage flying by himself.

After relying on the flying treasure to arrive, he plummeted towards the ground.

Tao Yu was alarmed upon seeing this and immediately discerned that Chong He was the ‘Lingbao Tianzun’ of ‘Immortal Trace’!

“Did you suffer backlash from the Six Paths?”

Tao Yu rushed over, placing a hand on Chong He’s body and injecting an exceptionally pure Life Force.

This method of infusing one’s purest Life Force to prolong life could make even a dead man stand up and speak a few words. Though lacking in skill, it is overwhelmingly powerful.

It brought a flush to Chong He’s face and improved his condition significantly.

“It’s improper; sir should go to rescue Kong Wen Master first. My old Daoist self brought this upon myself.”

“Your soul is riddled with hidden ominous killing intent; recovering would be extremely difficult. I can only protect your life at most.”

Tao Yu frowned, recognizing that Chong He likely defied the Six Paths’ orders, and before he achieved his Dharma Body, the Six Paths must have left some means on him.

This obscure yet domineering killing intent naturally reminded Tao Yu of the ‘Nether Sea Sword’ on the Divine Weapon List.

“Surviving is already a blessing; I rejected the task and perceived an attack in the ethereal directed at my True Spirit. But then it seemed the attacker hesitated and canceled, leading to subsequent rampant killing intent.”

Chong He said somewhat ruefully.

He had obviously noticed the Six Paths were just a few problem-ridden old immortals colluding, each having their own conflicts.

If not for this, he’d likely have had no chance to save his life.

Now, conversely, he fortuitously severed the Six Paths’ constraints on him except for the direct True Spirit attack method.

Tao Yu pondered, thinking of items like the ‘Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book’?

Was it deliberately letting Chong He perceive it, perhaps to make a statement…

“Gao Lan, stay here and guard; Green Bird will return after killing Meng Nan, so there’s no need to worry about a comeback attack. I’m off to rescue Kong Wen.”

While Tao Yu’s nature wasn’t bad, he wasn’t particularly proactive or eager to rescue people.

But Kong Wen was an exception; the Shaolin Temple holds the third style of the Tathagata Divine Palm, and knowing both the first style’s positive and negative aspects, acquiring the third style could virtually equate to getting two moves.

“It’s a pity I don’t have the complete principles; otherwise, it would be much easier…”

Even with a hint of opportunism, Tao Yu’s speed was extremely fast, grabbing Meng Qi to lead the way, charging directly towards Mount Shaoshi!
