"The effectiveness of this kind of holding charm is limited. It can only hold them for an hour at most."
Not paying attention to Pei Hong's look of "why didn't you take out this good thing earlier?", the Taoist priest began to explain in detail the functions and shortcomings of this amulet.
"And there are only a few dozen of these talismans in total. If you use up these monsters, they will return to their original state."
"So if we count them in quantity, these amulets can only buy us two hours at most, and the effect may not be as good as imagined."
The Taoist priest is telling the truth. No one knows whether these blood-sucking monsters have mutated into any new abilities, making them immune to the effects of living on earth.
In order to maximize the effect and achieve the ultimate goal, the Taoist priest only dared to take out these spells at this time and make a desperate move.
"In order to prevent any unexpected situations, you must keep an eye on these immobilized monsters."
Keenly hearing the ominousness in the Taoist priest's words, Sun Xianwei asked instinctively.
"What about you?"
Hearing Captain Sun's question, the Taoist priest casually handed the talisman to a servant beside him and smiled.
"You are responsible for guarding these monsters outside, and we will naturally go in and eliminate the culprits inside."
Although the Taoist priest did not clearly explain who the word "we" included, the people present were not fools and naturally knew who the "we" referred to.
"No! I object!"
Without any hesitation, Pei Hong decisively rejected the Taoist priest's proposal.
"I am the official of this side, and you are all the people under my rule. I cannot let you take risks."
When saying this, Pei Hong glanced at Pei Wende intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was hinting at something.
"Oh, since you know that you are the parent of this side, you should know how heavy the responsibility is on your shoulders."
"Now is not the time to be impulsive. The only people who can deal with the culprit inside are practitioners, and these monsters outside must be guarded by someone at all times."
He didn't pay attention to Pei Hong's hint. Pei Wende, who already knew the Taoist priest's intention, retorted unceremoniously.
"Or are you, as a parent and an official, planning to risk the lives of ordinary people throughout the process, just to satisfy the selfishness in your heart?"
As soon as Pei Wende said these words, the scene fell into silence.
For those who know the relationship between Pei Hong and Pei Wende, it is obvious that the conversation between the two men is not just literal, but also a deeper discord between brothers.

"This future Ming King seems to be a little more interesting than I imagined."
Standing in the corner of the courtyard of the mansion, Wu Qi stared at the door outside with interest, seeming to see what was happening outside through the layers of barriers.
"What...what do you...want to do?"
A familiar roar came from behind Wu Qi, and the vampire who had been "resurrected" stared hatefully at the guy in front of him. The suppressed voice could not hide the fear and panic.
"What do you want to do?"
"Didn't I say it? I just want to continue living. I want to see a more distant future."
With a slight smile on his lips, Wu Qi turned his head and glanced at the vampire behind him, which looked more like a beast than a human, and explained softly.
"I lost interest in you originally, but I didn't expect you to come back to life under such circumstances. This is simply incredible."
"I admit that I did make a mistake."
"You are not simply an 'immortal'. Your body is gradually becoming immune to all possibilities that will bring 'death'."
When he said this, Wu Qi's voice paused slightly before continuing.
"You know what? Your situation reminds me of a legendary bird..."
"Immortal from the fire, reborn from Nirvana, I didn't expect that the good 'immortal blood' would be transformed into such a non-human and ghostly appearance by you."
"Or is it that the 'immortal blood' you got from the beginning was a defective product?"
Not paying attention to the vampire's pupils that suddenly expanded, Wu Qi just continued to talk to himself.
"I am now beginning to be interested in the far western land beyond the mountains and seas, north of Kunlun..."
"Perhaps those existences called 'Varyags' in your memory are the meaning of my awakening this time!"
"The one-eyed god, the glorious Hall of Valor, the legendary battle of the gods..."
"This is something I didn't know about when I woke up countless times before. It turns out that there are actually other continents outside this continent and in the endless ocean."
"Does that mean that the stars we see are not what we can see?"
"The end of the ocean is the earth, so what is the end of the sky?"
"Also, is the starry sky above us really the abode of the gods?"
"In other words, is there really an omnipotent 'god' in this world that I imagined?"
"Not the characters depicted in epic legends, because I have fought alongside them, so I know they are not real gods."
“The longer I live and the more I see, the more I begin to question the meaning of my existence.”
"In a sense, I am a 'god' in the eyes of others, because I will never truly die..."
"Lu Hui, Youkang, Chongming, Qin Zhao, and even now Wu Qi..."
"No matter how many names I changed, I was still out of step with the era in which I woke up."
"Perhaps only when I find the real God can He truly answer the confusion in my heart."
"So before that, whether it was Guixu, Jiuyou, or the current underworld..."
"There is no place that can accommodate my soul and body, and I don't need to forget my past life through constant reincarnation like a mortal."
Staring blankly at Wu Qi, who was getting more and more crazy, the vampire felt that he could not understand the guy in front of him more and more.
As both immortals, the guy in front of me has lived too long.
For so long, myths are just yesterday in his eyes, history is only now in his eyes, and his goal is in the endless and distant future.
"madman……"
In the end, the vampire can only use the word "madman" to describe the guy in front of him - a madman who has gone completely crazy because he has lived for too long.
Thinking of this, the vampire suddenly had some unspoken fear about his "immortality".
