Shen Luo frowned as he looked around. There were no signs of treasures, so he didn't know why they were fighting.
The burly man grabbed the youth by the neck and lifted him into the air. When he closed his hand, the youth's throat made a cracking sound as if it was about to break.
The youth's face turned red, but he didn't loosen his grip. He swung his sword as if he wanted to crush the burly man's heart and lungs.
Seeing that the two were about to fight to the death, Fu Donglai couldn't help but step forward. He grabbed the burly man's hand with one hand and grabbed the youth's sword with the other.
"My friends, this is just a trial. Why do you have to do this?" Fu Donglai returned the sword and tried to persuade them.
The two were forced apart. They both let out a sigh of relief and looked at Fu Donglai at the same time. Their eyes flashed with vigilance and then turned to anger.
"Demons, don't interfere in our fight. If you want to pick up the corpse, wait until we fight to the death first." The burly man shouted angrily as he covered his chest to stop the bleeding.
"Humph, if you didn't interfere, he would be a ghost under my sword." The youth in white said without any gratitude.
"Demons know how to cherish their lives. If they saved you, they wouldn't both die. How can you be so ungrateful?" Shen Luo was a little unhappy and stepped forward.
"What do you know? Our Fiery Wind Valley and the Evergreen Sect have been enemies for generations. We are restricted by the Tang government and cannot seek revenge. This time, we came to the Three Realms Martial Gathering to avenge each other. Those who die die for the sect. Although they die, they die honorably. Those who survive will be the direct disciples of the sect. In the future … "The youth in white stopped halfway.
Shen Luo heard this and sighed in his heart. A Three Realms Martial Gathering had become a place for the sects to fight for benefits. It was really ridiculous.
But when he thought about it again, what was the difference between his fight with Zhao Tong and the two in front of him? He couldn't help but laugh.
"We don't need you to care about our lives. Please leave this place and stop hindering us," the muscular man said in a low voice.
"All of you are in this Martial Competition. If you want to be a hypocrite and become famous, you can go elsewhere and try. Don't come here and make a ruckus." The white clothed youth also raised his sword and shouted.
When Fu Donglai heard this, he stood there without moving. His eyes were still filled with confusion.
"Let's go." Shen Luo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
After the two of them left, the sounds of killing rose again in the forest behind them. Not long after, it returned to silence.
Shen Luo and Shi Mu were silent the whole way. They walked forward for about a li.
"Brother Fu, in your opinion, can humans, devils, and immortals coexist peacefully and bring peace to the Three Realms?" Shen Luo suddenly asked.
"I don't know. I came to the Great Tang government precisely to understand the Human race and the Three Realms. Compared to the Demons, the Human race has created a more brilliant civilization. And the conflict between the Immortals and the Demons is even more irreconcilable. If the Three Realms can really achieve peace, I think the answer is most likely on the side of the Human race. "Fu Donglai shook his head and said.
When Shen Luo heard this, he seemed to think of something. He looked into the distance and fell silent again.
"Brother Shen, what do you think?" Fu Donglai waited for a while and asked again.
"You saw it just now. The Human race is still fighting to the death. I don't have much confidence that the answer is on the side of the Human race." Shen Luo sighed and said.
Just like what he had said to Lu Huaming before, there were many traitors in the Human race. Some of them even wanted Chi You to recover more than the Demons.
As long as such people existed, the Three Realms would never be peaceful.
"I'm also still observing and learning. This kind of internal strife exists everywhere. As long as the direction of the world is right, there will always be hope." Fu Donglai was rather optimistic.
"Speaking of which, the ones who stopped the Demon God's recovery were you Demons. This is already a great merit for the Three Realms," Shen Luo said with a smile.
"The Demons have very complicated feelings toward the Demon God Chi You. On one hand, he is our common ancestor. On the other hand, he is the cause of the chaos in the Three Realms. We Demons were once glorious because of him, but we were also in decline because of him. Some people hope that he can lead the Demons and stand at the peak of the Three Realms again. But that is the glory of the old era. It is very unfair to force this hope onto the Demons of today. Not all Demons are bloodthirsty and warlike. They also have their own families. Being able to stop the war from happening and prevent the people from dying is naturally the best thing. "Fu Donglai's expression was somewhat complicated as he spoke slowly.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at a valley. From afar, they could hear continuous roars coming from within the valley. The sounds of collisions were amplified by loudspeakers at the mouth of the valley, sounding like rolling thunder.
"This sound …" Fu Donglai's expression changed slightly.
"What is it?" Shen Luo frowned.
"Let's go and take a look first," Fu Donglai immediately said.
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the entrance of the valley.
Shen Luo didn't hesitate and immediately followed.
The two of them had just reached the mouth of the valley when they saw a green sapling about seven or eight feet tall growing at the center of the valley. It was sparkling and translucent like jade. There were no leaves on its branches, only eight red fruits the size of longans.
Even from afar, Shen Luo and Fu Donglai could smell the fragrance of the fruits.
In front of the fruit tree stood a thin old man who looked like he was in his seventies. His clothes were stained with blood and his gray hair was disheveled. He looked very miserable.
"It's him," Shen Luo exclaimed softly.
"Brother Shen, you know him?" Fu Donglai asked.
"He is the Sect Leader of a small human sect, the Green Forest Sect. Before we entered the Secret Realm, he was standing beside me," Shen Luo replied.
He was holding an octagonal disk in his hand. There was a circular bronze mirror embedded in the disk. At this moment, he was activating it with all his strength. It emitted a circular arc of light. It was like a big pot that covered the surroundings, enveloping the green tree with the red fruit.
"What are those things?" Shen Luo looked down and asked with a frown.
Outside the barrier supported by the old man, there were three Demonic Beasts that looked like Green Bulls but were more than ten feet tall. They were attacking the light barrier from different directions. The thunderous sound came from their mouths.
Outside the green ox, there was also a huge pitch-black snake that was over a thousand feet long. It was also raising its huge tail high, and like a long whip, it was constantly striking the top of the light barrier.
"Those are the Scaled Bulls and the Rhino Python. They are both ferocious Demonic Beasts. The three Scaled Bulls seem to be at the Late-stage of the Out of Body Stage, but the Rhino Python is at least at the Early-stage of the Mahayana Stage. They don't seem to be using their full strength. Otherwise, the human cultivator would have been defeated long ago, "Fu Donglai said with a frown.
Hearing this, Shen Luo slowly looked around but didn't find anything unusual. After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Brother Fu, do you recognize the green tree in the center?"
