Pei Yunzhao was completely embarrassed, but the Hu family in Kyoto could be regarded as a first-class noble family in Zeguo, and they were not inferior to the emperor in the prefecture. However, he, Pei Yunzhao, could not represent the entire prefecture.
He holds an important position in the capital, but he only has a small amount of real power in his hands, but this Hu Qiong is a real son of the gentry.
He didn't want to offend people in Kyoto easily if necessary.
But that doesn't mean he's willing to let others humiliate him.
"Hmph! I can't control how overbearing your Hu family is in Kyoto. I, the Grand Administrator, can't let anyone step on my head so wantonly."
"I joined hands with the people under me to surround and kill that bamboo demon for half a month and almost succeeded. At the critical moment, this person stepped in and enjoyed the success. This kid acted arrogantly and used tigers to hurt people. Since I have invited the pharaoh, This matter will never let go!"
Pei Yunzhao's attitude could not be said to be tense, but he obviously did not want an explanation and was absolutely unwilling to retreat.
Hu Qiong glanced at the old man invited by Pei Yunzhao, but she was secretly wary.
Takumi's peak state.
The Grand Administrator really thought highly of a mere capital city, and actually sent a strong man at the peak of Takumi to protect him.
It's just that his Hu family is not empty. Compared with a prefect, the young man who can easily throw out the best spiritual stones is obviously more worthy of befriending.
Hu Qiong snorted coldly and took out a copper-framed iron fan from his waist. With a flick of the fan, the wind in the city suddenly became stronger. Within three moments, the cascading and turbulent wind seemed to be suddenly torn apart by a pair of giant hands. The sharp breath invades the hair and skin.
"I want to see how crazy you, a naughty kid like you, will be!"
How could the many monks in the city give Hu Qiong a chance to sell well? It was self-evident who would get the bigger advantage by pleasing the prefect or the wealthy young master.
"There is no owner of monsters in the world. Those who can get them. Since you failed to hunt successfully, you are incompetent. How can you blame others? The Taishou Court is acting so arrogantly and unreasonably. I, the Qing Dao Palace, also want to take care of this business." .”
"The Taishou Yuan is provoking troubles in the capitals of all countries and regards the law as nothing. I cannot sit idly by and ignore it!"
"Oh, it sounds like all the countries in the world think all the mountains are the backyard of their prefecture. You can hunt monsters, but others can't, right?"
As soon as he entered the city, he was outraged before even touching a piece of Bailian's clothes. Pei Yunzhao was so angry that he was shaking all over. He really didn't know why all the forces would protect this arrogant boy at the same time.
"Confusing right and wrong! Stirring up right and wrong! That bamboo demon, I am going to..."
"The capital..." The old man who was sleeping on the side finally spoke and said: "The casual cultivators of the ordinary family cannot get a group of people to support and take sides. This is not Fengquan County. You should think twice before acting in the capital. OK."
The implication was that the young man who had taken his fancy as the demon slave must not have as simple a power background as he thought.
Pei Yunzhao made this point, his face stiffened, and he said unwillingly: "But the date for the opening of the Tianxi Sword Sect to recruit disciples is approaching. If I miss this spirit demon, how can I be sure to find the demon and inscribe the sword spirit in such a short period of time? !”
The old man pondered for a moment and said: "The threshold of Tianxi Sword Sect is extremely high. Even if the sword spirit is engraved in the capital, it is not enough. The threshold of worshiping the mountain is slightly higher than that of ordinary disciples. Why offend these monks for a little demon? I heard that the old man is missing. The son of the Marquis of the Lin family in Kyoto for more than ten years has recently returned to the capital. There is still some connection between the Suri Prefecture and the Lin family.
Since it is difficult to catch demons and possessed spirits, the capital city might as well focus more on the Lin family. The Lin family’s young marquis is a student of Shangyang Academy, studied under the imperial master, and has an extraordinary status. If we can get this young marquis’s letter, Recommendation, whether it is attached or not is naturally not that important. "
After the old man's careful consolation, the unwillingness on Pei Yunzhao's face faded a little. He glanced at Bai Lian bitterly and said coldly: "If it weren't for something big, this matter wouldn't be like this today. Pass easily!"
After finishing speaking, Pei Yunzhao waved his arm and led everyone out of the city.
Hu Qiong shook the iron fan in his hand and sneered: "The people who come out of the Taishou Court are nothing more than this!"
As he spoke, he kept peeking at Balian's reaction from the corner of his eye.
Unfortunately, the young master didn't have much reaction to this. He didn't take Pei Yunzhao's provocative threats to heart, and took the monsters away with the carts.
Although the inns in the city were full, a scene happened on the street, and the residents of the city saw it clearly.
Even the monks greeted him with humility, and the people in the city did not dare to show any slightness. Even without Balian deliberately looking for a place to live, the city lord stepped forward to entertain him at once, and packed up the largest guest house alone. Give Balian a place to live.
In the cool courtyard, Bailian crushed Yuanhuang Dan and mixed it with water to make a paste, and was treating the injury between the little bamboo demon's arms.
The little bamboo demon was young, but could endure the pain very well. The process of applying the ointment to the wound was extremely painful, but she remained silent. Her hair on her temples was wet with sweat, and her pale lips were tightly pursed.
By the time Balian had bandaged the wound, she looked as if she had just been fished out of the water.
"After the pain tonight, I think the bones will be healed when I wake up tomorrow morning. The Yuanhuang Pill hurts a bit, but the healing effect is still good." Bailian took a clean handkerchief and wiped his fingertips of blood.
The little bamboo demon raised her weak fingers and managed to put on her clothes. Her eyes were wet in the night. She looked up at Balian and said hesitantly: "At that time, I thought..."
Bailian put down the veil, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Do you think I saved you because I planned to sell you?"
"...I'm sorry." The little bamboo demon slowly lowered his head and fiddled with his belt guiltily with his fingers: "I know that I am not worth the price of that spiritual stone. How about I repay you slowly in the future?"
Balian laughed and said, "I don't need you to repay your kindness."
"You Ning, my name is You Ning." This little demon obviously didn't listen to what Balian said. Demons and demons alike, their names have extraordinary meaning to them.
She said her name was You Ning, and she didn't just tell Bai Lian her name. She secretly dedicated her name and handed over her ownership rights with the third kind of spirit in the world.
If Balian was determined at this moment, he would definitely have a 100% success rate by sacrificing this little bamboo demon to the sword.
Balian looked at her helplessly. Although this little demon had suffered a lot in the human world, experienced the ups and downs of the world, and was wary of hatred towards all human beings, in the end his heart was still pure.
In a few words, he took the initiative to offer his name. Not to mention his life, this body and even his soul were handed over to Baili'an for safekeeping at this moment. This unreserved attitude was really helpless.
"Don't think I'm easy to deceive." You Ning was smart and instantly understood Balian's eyes. She said seriously: "I know, you are different from others. Others collect and refine demons, but Simply to become stronger and satisfy my own desires, but you are different, I am willing to hand over my name to you for safekeeping."
Balian didn't say much to her. Of course, he understood that the reason why this little demon trusted her so much was probably not just because he spent spiritual stones to buy elixirs to heal her.
More importantly, she saw those cars of monsters he bought.
Balian wiped his hands and stood up: "Let's go. Seeing how excited you are, I think your friends and family are in the car. I'll take you to see them."
The single courtyard arranged by the city lord was large enough. After leaving the cool courtyard, I turned a few corners and came to a room in the small building at the back, where the purchased monster was placed.
All these monsters were seriously injured. Although Bailian had already thrown away the stick given to him by the monster trainer, when he pushed the door open and entered, the group of monsters still shrank subconsciously and were frightened. He seemed to be hiding in the shadows, fearing that he would be beaten with whips and iron rods.
The bat demon with its eyes stabbed was lying on the ground dying, half of its face was burnt black, and its red and tender flesh was covered with blood. Its dirty body was filled with an unpleasant stench, which could be seen from the mottled blood stains on the ground. , besides her face, she also had many hidden wounds on her body.
As soon as she heard the sound of opening the door, the two bat wings slumped behind her trembled slightly, and she immediately roared. Regardless of the serious injuries on her body, ten sharp claws burst out and rushed towards Bailian fiercely, wanting to tear him alive. into pieces.
The demon-suppressing talisman on her body had not yet been released, and before she could fully stand up from the sudden explosion, the talisman surrounding her neck and limbs suddenly lit up.
As she screamed miserably, the electric shock from the talisman made her stumble to the ground in pain. The purple electric current struck her body and opened up bright red gashes one after another on her skin.
The bat demon was writhing in pain, but he refused to let go and beg for mercy.
He is a stubborn demon.
Bai Lian walked into the room, clasped the bat demon's arm, and released his spiritual power under his palm, scattering the five talismans on her body.
The current stopped, and the bat demon roared. It seemed to hate human contact, and bit back on Bailian's wrist. Its fangs released the life-eating bat venom without hesitation, and the green poison flowed from it. It spread between the lips and teeth.
It's a pity that even if Bailian didn't dodge and let her bite her, those fangs could never break through his skin.
Balian sighed softly, turned his hand, and broke away from her teeth. He firmly grasped the bat demon's chin with his fingers, pulled her head upward, lowered his head and bit her neck.
The angry roar in the bat demon's mouth was suddenly extinguished and turned into a soft moan. The moan did not sound like pain. She even felt a subtle pleasure under Balian's cold and sharp fangs.
As the blood in the veins of her neck was sucked and swallowed by him, her body seemed to be on the verge of burning. A subtle desire to stop was gradually rising, as if she was slowly falling into a wonderful world that she had never experienced before.
The little bamboo demon covered his mouth with both hands, his big eyes full of surprise and confusion.
Not long ago, his body was covered with venomous thorns. The violent and ferocious bat demon slowly succumbed to Balian's body, holding his sleeves helplessly with both hands. The two bat wings behind his back Sometimes it trembles and flutters, like a dying moth.
Finally, Balian let go of her neck, wiped the blood on his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you honest?"
"You..." The bat demon is a bloodthirsty demon. She practices in the mountains and often sucks the blood of animals in the mountains. However, she never thought that one day she would also be sucked out of blood.
And it felt so...comfortable?
The bones are about to turn into crispy crumbs.
She looked at the looming fangs under Balian's lips and knew that this boy must not be human. For a moment, she thought of the corpse demon in the active and dark cold world.
She should have been terrified.
But the tingling pleasure that remained on her neck made it difficult for her to be afraid of this boy.
She was imprisoned in a prison car and tortured day and night with the fire rod. The fire stone on the rod created heart-burning fire poison, which accumulated in her body and suffered torture.
His actions just now had reduced a lot of the fire poison in her body.
Although the bat demon is not as intelligent as humans, it can still feel Balian's kindness, and it is hard to show off its ten sharp claws.
She shrank her head and slowly retracted her sharp claws. Remembering that Balian had just smashed the demon-suppressing talisman on her body, she suddenly had an unrealistic idea in her heart and asked hesitantly: "You...are you going to let go?" Did you kill me?"
Balian couldn't deny it, he took out the main talisman given to him by the demon trainer and tore it into pieces bit by bit.
When the monsters in the room saw this scene, they all exclaimed in disbelief.
That was the main demon training talisman that controlled their life and death. It was destroyed and it would be difficult to catch them again.
The bat demon was most surprised and puzzled: "You spent a huge sum of money to buy us, but then released us. Why?"
"A huge sum of money?" Balian smiled: "How can a piece of spiritual stone be considered a huge sum of money?"
After all, he had been a demon river in the demon world and had been a phoenix king. The demon city was the main city of the world and there were no rare treasures. The top-quality spiritual stones were really not a rarity for the demon river.
There are countless such spiritual stones in the Tibetan Pavilion of Ning Feiyan's Chaomu Hall alone.
Balian has lived in Chaomu Hall for so long, and he has been cultivating all day long, so he naturally has many spiritual stones like this in his jade in the clear water.
"Okay, in a word, you are free. This is the medicine for your wounds. You can heal your wounds here by yourself. I will also leave this city tomorrow. You all go back. Be careful not to be taken away by others again."
Balian asked the city chief for some healing medicine in advance, which he placed on the ground. He also left some food spiritual stones for the monsters to distribute on their own.
Since the day they were caught by the demon trainer, the demons here have basically lived a life that is worse than death every day. They are frightened every day, and there is no tomorrow after living today. They never thought that they would one day be free again.
The surprise came so suddenly that the monsters felt like they were dreaming.
"You Ning?!" A small, surprised and happy voice suddenly sounded among the monsters.
The eyes of the little bamboo demon You Ning suddenly lit up, and she found a familiar face, and said happily: "Hua Nu! Is it really you?!"
She ran over excitedly without thinking, with tears in her eyes.
Hua Nu's eyes were also red. He looked at You Ning and then at Bai Lian. He held her little hand and couldn't say a word.
You Ning suffered such a catastrophe, and it was a blessing to be able to reunite with her old friends. She choked up and told Hua Nu one by one what had happened recently.
When Hua Nu learned that it was Bai Lian who saved You Ning in the crisis, his expression changed several times, and the last trace of fear and defensiveness in his eyes finally disappeared.
Although she couldn't understand why someone would do such a meaningless thing as buying a demon and releasing it, she was very grateful to Brian in her heart and knew that he didn't have the grudge against the demon that others had.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and took out a little milk fox. He timidly came to Balian and whispered: "...my dear friend, this little fox saved me in a critical moment." , was shot in the vital part by a cold arrow, and his life is at stake. Can my benefactor...save it?"
Balian looked at her scarred hands holding the equally scarred little fox. She didn't know what kind of torture she had suffered. The nails on all ten fingers had been uprooted and the flesh was rotten. Still bleeding.
The hand holding the little fox trembled slightly, with his fingers connected to his heart, it hurt so much.
Balian looked at the little fox who hurriedly took the hand from her, frowned and whispered: "You Ning, help her apply the medicine first."
When Hua Nu heard him call out the name You Ning, he was also a demon and could clearly feel the rhythm of the avenue.
That was clearly a symbol of handing over his name.
She glanced at You Ning in shock and surprise, but saw that her expression was as usual, without any sign of being coerced, and she was obedient to give her the medicine.
The little milk fox that was about to die was indeed seriously injured. Although the arrow had been pulled out, it could be seen that the arrow had penetrated its heart.
The hair on half of his body was stained with dirty blood. His small body was rising and falling weakly. His limbs were cold and his hair was withered. Even his tail was mostly broken off. At a glance, it was clear that he was holding on forcibly. The tone is there.
Balian was surprised by this little fox's amazing desire to survive.
With such a serious injury, an ordinary demon would have died long ago. What's even more surprising is that with the temperament of the demon trainer, he didn't throw the dying demon out of the car and still kept it until now.
It seemed that the little demon named Hua Nu protected the little fox quite well.
With the injury like this, Balian had no way to treat it, so he had to pick up a cold and soft fleshy pad of the little fox and slowly transfer spiritual energy into its body.
In the process of transferring spiritual power, he also used a trace of the power of the Blood Feather River.
Since practicing, Balian has discovered that the Blood Feather River can not only control monsters, but also has a replenishing effect on monster spirits.
I also had the mentality of giving it a try.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the spiritual power was transferred into its body, the little fox's body twitched slightly, and there was actually a slight reaction.
Seeing that it was useful, Bai Lian said to Hua Nu: "It seems that this little fox demon is inseparable for a while. I will try to raise her for one night and hope that she will survive."
Hua Nu saw that little reaction very clearly, and there was no way he could not follow it.
The monsters stayed in that room to recuperate for the time being.
Balian hugged the dying fox and returned to his room to meditate.
The moment he walked out of the house, he didn't notice that the dying little fox in his arms slowly opened a pair of blue vertical pupils.
There was no awe or fear of death in those eyes. The fox eyes reflected the hazy night and the cold air. They were so deep and dark that no light could shine through, and the eyes were cold and strange.
