Chapter 668 - 768: I'm Afraid You'll Fall
A while ago, there was an incident where the Five-colored Celestial Sparrow didn't manage to properly keep an eye on the nine-headed demon dragon, leading to it releasing some of its aura.
The whispers that Ye Tianfan hears are definitely caused by the aura of the nine-headed demon dragon.
The nine-headed demon dragon certainly wants to escape, but as a demon beast, it has no way to break the seal on its own, so it lures Ye Tianfan to be its pawn. A demon beast like the nine-headed demon dragon, once you help it break the seal, won't care about your fate; all its past promises are as good as nonsense and will never be fulfilled.
This situation isn't unique to the nine-headed demon dragon; in the past, everyone who fell into this temptation encountered similar circumstances. Some people, right after releasing that demon beast, were killed by it. However, that is not the main point. The main point is that these demon beasts are inherently cruel, and those sealed are generally very formidable ones, which couldn't be killed at the time.
All of them have committed significant slaughters, which is why they were sealed away.
Some seals wear off due to the passage of time, which isn't worth mentioning. But those demon beasts released by human actions are the most vile, and of course, it's the people who release them that are the problem. These people typically have very weak wills and are easily tempted.
Then they bring such cruel demon beasts back into this world from a sealed state.
Subsequently, these demon beasts will exact great revenge on the world because they've been sealed for a long time, and their hearts are filled with resentment, coupled with their inherently violent nature. Cruelty without justification would not lead to being sealed, hence the combination of hatred and cruelty. And the ones who suffer are the people of the world, because they first take revenge on everything in sight.
Regardless of what's in front of them, they destroy everything. If they are sealed inside a sect, then after massacring the people of that sect, they would spread their slaughter outside, and the first to be affected would surely be the civilians. Because the distance between sects is vast, while the sects are very close to the civilians, so no matter what kind of disturbances occur in the cultivation world, it's always the common folk who suffer first.
"I haven't fallen, and I won't believe the things the nine-headed demon dragon says to me. I'm just a bit worried you might be tempted by the nine-headed demon dragon, given your obsession with Magical Treasure. If it promises you the creation of a Supreme Magical Treasure, your will might not be as steadfast," Tianfan said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. My temptation might very well be from the aura of the nine-headed demon dragon brought back from the Taichu Peak. That means if I've carried back the aura of the nine-headed demon dragon from Taichu Peak, the disciples there might have also brought back the aura of the nine-headed demon dragon to their places. My will is steadfast, but I'm worried some disciples might not have determined wills. If they are tempted, there's a high chance they might break the seal of the nine-headed demon dragon.
Furthermore, there were at least several thousand disciples on Taichu Peak at the time, with at least half of the disciples from other peaks there too. So now it's impossible to determine who exactly has been tempted, and it's difficult to check as well. We have no method to verify if they have been tempted. We can only inquire verbally, and once a person has been tempted, they would never admit it, which is a big problem. I need to talk to my master, Tian Chu Zhenren, about this, as if things are really like I've mentioned, this will become a major issue," Ye Tianfan said worriedly.
After Ye Tianfan finished speaking, he sighed deeply in his heart; this is truly a troublesome season. The issues with the organization have yet to be resolved, and now the incident with the nine-headed demon dragon has arisen.
Actually, there is a reason for all this. The problem with the nine-headed demon dragon was instigated by that organization; if it hadn't attacked Taichu Peak, then the Five-colored Celestial Sparrow wouldn't have been injured, and without that injury, it wouldn't have led to the leakage of the nine-headed demon dragon's aura. If the aura of the nine-headed demon dragon hadn't leaked, then the current whispering incident wouldn't have occurred.
It seems that organization is really a bane.
"What are you talking about? What's this about the nine-headed demon dragon promising me to create a Supreme Magical Treasure, and me switching sides? My will may not be most stable, but I still wouldn't believe such words. Moreover, my will is quite steadfast. Even when my master, Yuan Chu Zhenren, wanted a material I had obtained by chance, no matter how he persuaded or tempted me, I didn't give up that material. So my will is quite firm, okay? But there is one thing you said right, which is that this matter needs to be told to Uncle Tian Chu, and then station a heavy force at the seal site for protection, and set up some arrays and Magical Treasures at the seal gateway to prevent anyone from getting close. Also, the heavy guards stationed there must be wary of each other, because I'm afraid some of them might also be tempted," Bai Feng spoke.
Wu Tianfan nodded appreciatively upon hearing Bai Feng's words, realizing that Bai Feng was quite sensible. However, this matter was indeed beyond their capabilities, requiring reliance on Tian Chu Zhenren.
Thus, they must promptly set out to find Tian Chu Zhenren because the earlier this matter is addressed, the better. As of now, no one has been successfully tempted yet, but if someone does fall, then they will be a latent danger in the future. If they aren't uncovered this time, then what about next time? It's impossible to constantly keep a tight watch on the nine-headed demon dragon, right? Once there is laxity, the nine-headed demon dragon would definitely have someone to lift its seal.
Therefore, the sooner this issue is resolved, the sooner the source can be controlled, thereby reducing the number of people who fall.
There might even be no more fallen individuals.
However, Ye Tianfan is a bit puzzled. Would anyone really believe the nonsense from the nine-headed demon dragon?
Would anyone truly believe the nine-headed demon dragon would grant them the power to ascend to Celestial Immortal?
It seems those nonsensical words shouldn't be easily believed by anyone.
What Ye Tianfan doesn't know is that people in this world are quite naive.
Thus, many of the disciples who are not deeply experienced in the world tend to believe these words. After all, they don't believe such strong beings would deceive these weaker ones.
Little do they know the world is ruthless, and the opposing party is a naturally violent demon beast, who never speaks the truth to humans, and purely uses them. As long as it can make you believe and release it, it will say whatever sounds nice, even fabricating beautiful lies.
