Chapter 162: The Demon in My Heart Share Comments
After saying all this, Li Yunxin narrowed his eyes slightly. “As for why those Black and White Yama Kings didn’t promptly claim Emperor Li’s soul… that is the strangest part of all.”
Everything he said was something Old Daoist Liu had never considered.
But Old Daoist Liu was not a foolish man, after all. After hearing him out and carefully sorting through the details, he understood.
He thought for a moment and asked, “But if that’s the case… why not manifest as saints?”
Li Yunxin knew what he meant.
He raised an eyebrow, poured a cup of lukewarm tea, took a sip, and then looked at Old Daoist Liu. “Because of those wretched Taoist priests and sword cultivators. The disciples of the Daoist Orthodoxy and Sword Sect, those low-level ones, wandering all over the world—what do you think they’re doing?”
“When they see a demon that often manifests, they claim the demon is repeatedly appearing to wreak havoc on the human world, and then they slay it. And the demons themselves are no good things either; they love to cause trouble. So, if an ordinary person sees a demon in the wild—of course, they’d quickly cover their child’s eyes and mouth and flee in a hurry. They wouldn’t dare speak of it everywhere after returning home.”
“Firstly, they have no good impression of demons and consider it bad luck. Secondly, they’re afraid that talking about it all the time might actually attract a demon. You see how children who cry ‘ghost, ghost’ in the middle of the night are always scolded by adults? It’s the same principle.”
“As for the great demons that those low-level disciples can’t handle—well, there’s still the Daoist Orthodoxy. There are only about a hundred known great demons at or above the True Realm, scattered throughout the world. And they often fight amongst themselves.”
