Chapter 898: Strike Him Down
Seeing their Senior Brother return in such a wretched state, the Quanshan Daoists hurried over to ask what had happened.
"Senior Brother! What happened?"
"Some rustic cultivator from who knows where is causing trouble at our mountain gate with an evil spirit! He even injured the two of us! I must report this to the elders and have them decide what to do!"
"Senior Brother!"
"Why bother the elders with this? We can all head down the mountain together. If he remains stubborn, we'll just strike him down and refine him into a corpse puppet. Wouldn't that vent our anger?"
The Daoist halted at those words. After a moment of thought, he said, "We probably shouldn't go as far as killing him. If the elders look into it, they'll likely punish us, too."
"What's the problem? Demons have been wreaking havoc at the foot of the mountain lately. Since that man is traveling with an evil spirit, going down there is just exorcising evil and slaying demons. What is there to fear? Besides, he hasn't even left the mountain gate, has he?"
The Daoist mused over it and agreed it was an excellent point.
"Alright!"
