Xun Song's face was pale, but he forced a smile and nodded.
Up until now, he had encountered three demonic generals in his life.
The first time, he and his team encountered a demonic general that was heavily injured and on the verge of death.
Due to the demonic general's condition, they had the mentality of picking up scraps.
Their action of picking up scraps caused 80% of his team to be annihilated. He was also thrown far away by the demonic general's miraculous maneuvers.
The second time, he had just met up with his three senior brothers when they encountered five demonic generals.
He had thought that he should be fearful of the demonic generals from the first time. However, one of his senior brothers used his life to buy them a brief moment of respite, allowing them to activate the Dream Severing Bottle and escape …
Only then did he realize that even though he had almost died once, his understanding of how terrifying the demonic generals were was still too shallow.
The third time, he was surrounded by 10 Heaven's Equal. He was also protected by a formation that the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's elder had invented to counter the demonic generals.
He had thought that it would be easy to kill the five demonic generals this time …
However, only three of the five demonic generals died in the end. Two managed to escape. Furthermore, the demonic generals unleashed a terrifying attack at the last moment, injuring all 10 of his Heaven's Equal Senior Brothers.
How badly were they injured?
To the extent that they had to stay where they were and wait for treatment.
At this moment, he did not know how to describe the demonic generals anymore.
This was because the demonic generals' terror had exceeded the limits of his imagination.
At the same time, this feeling made him understand one thing …
"Little Junior Brother, now you should understand how rash you were when you picked up scraps, right?"
Lying beside him was Junior Brother Feng, who had first found Xun Song.
He was very emotional when he said this.
As Heaven's Equal Senior Brother, this battle had also refreshed his understanding of the demonic generals.
To put it bluntly, he had too little contact with the demonic generals. He had never truly understood them.
If even he felt this way, then Xun Song, who was not even Heaven's Equal Senior Brother, would not be able to do so.
Seeing that Junior Brother Feng had started the conversation, the others also started to offer their kind advice.
"Not to mention little junior brother, even I, your senior brother, am not a match for the Seed Demon General …"
"There's a saying in the Heaven's Equal Territory. Even if you encounter a heavily injured demon general, you should run as far as you can when you're alone …"
"Little Junior Brother is a newborn calf with commendable courage. However, something like the Seed Demon General is not something that can be dealt with with with courage alone."
"In the future, if you encounter the Demonic Seed Generals, you must remember to run as far as you can …"
…
Xun Song readily accepted their advice and smiled in response.
He was well aware of his position in the sect, especially in his Master's faction.
He also gave himself a very accurate position.
Therefore, he knew that if these words weren't serious to a certain extent, his senior brothers would absolutely not say them to him.
This was because it was very likely that he would become unhappy with the Senior Brothers — this was something that the Senior Brothers absolutely did not want to happen.
But in his heart, he was really unhappy.
His life was a glorious one, a life without stains.
Encountering a heavily injured and dying demon general and then foolishly picking up the leftovers might count.
Of course, if he hadn't encountered so many troublesome things after picking up the scraps, his senior brothers' consolation wouldn't have made him unhappy.
Unfortunately, he had met them.
Not only was he saved by scavengers.
He was saved twice.
And both times, it was the same person who saved him — the same two people.
This was a real stain on his life.
And this stain gave him the impression that if he hadn't failed to pick up the scraps, he wouldn't have encountered such troublesome things.
Once this impression came out, picking up scraps also became a real stain on his life.
Therefore, his senior brothers' advice to him turned into an attack on this stain on his life.
"Hehe …" Xun Song laughed and looked at his senior brothers, using a joking tone to say, "So those two heavily injured Seed Demon Generals were really lucky."
The moment he said this, the Senior Brothers all shut up.
Saying that the Seed Demon General was lucky was actually saying that even if all ten of them worked together, they wouldn't dare to chase and kill him.
This was sarcasm.
This was a soft knife.
This was an especially sharp counterattack from Little Junior Brother who hadn't completely fallen out with them —
You guys don't even have the courage to pick up scraps and you still have the face to talk about me?
But Little Junior Brother, we are really doing this for your own good …
This sentence, none of the ten Senior Brothers said it out loud.
Because this would cause the cracks that had just formed between the Senior Brothers to rapidly expand.
The only thing they could do was to smile and agree with him.
"Isn't that so?"
"Chasing and killing heavily injured Seed Demon Generals, tsk … no one would dare to do such a thing."
"Unless …"
"Unless what?"
"Unless it's the Heaven's Equal that came from there …"
"Ancient Sky Stairway!"
"Right!"
"Little Junior Brother, if you can enter the Ancient Sky Stairway and train for a million years … no, even if you only need a hundred thousand years, the Seed Demon General is nothing!"
… …
The senior apprentice brothers chimed in one after another, causing Xun Song's mood to gradually improve.
The Ancient Sky Stairway was not only the source of his status, it was also the goal that he pursued.
As the disciple with the most hope to enter the Ancient Sky Stairway, his future was limitless.
What he lacked now was a huge achievement that could shock the heavens and make the gods cry.
Once he achieved such a huge achievement, he would have the right to try and enter the Ancient Sky Stairway.
And this was also the reason why he took the risk to pick up scraps.
Thinking about this, Xun Song felt that the Senior Brothers weren't that annoying anymore.
"After all, if I die, what's the point of talking about the Ancient Sky Stairway, what's the point of talking about status …"
Thinking about it, he, who was the least injured, raised his hands and cupped his fists at the Senior Brothers. He said apologetically, "Thank you, Senior Brothers, for your guidance. I have benefited a lot."
"Haha!"
"Junior Brother is too polite."
"Actually, we didn't teach you anything …"
"We just wanted to tell you that in this world, no one would dare to pick up scraps left by the Seed Demon General …"
… …
The Junior Brothers were chatting happily because of Xun Song's sudden change in attitude …
Far away, the sky changed.
"Eh?"
"This, seems like …"
"Is it the battle between the Seed Demon General and the Heaven's Equal?"
"It doesn't look like it. The commotion … is a little small, right?"
"Maybe it's because it's too far, or else …"
"Don't be rash. If we alert the Seed Demon General, we'll be in trouble!"
"Maybe one of the Heaven's Equal passed by and met one of the two heavily injured Seed Demon Generals …"
"Heh, there's really someone who isn't afraid of death!"
"Little Junior Brother, did you see that? It's said to be heavily injured, but it can still cause such a commotion. Who would dare to pick up scraps?"
… …
Xun Song nodded, but he did not think much of it.
"It's stupid for me to pick up scraps when I'm half a step away from the Heaven's Equal. But if I really become Heaven's Equal …"
Just as he was thinking about this, the commotion of the battle in the distance gradually disappeared until the Senior Brothers could no longer sense it.
"It's over …"
"The Demonic Qi is still there, but the Heaven's Equal aura is gone …"
"Sigh, the result is obvious …"
"Poor Heaven's Equal …"
… …
However, the battle in the distance was not really over.
It was just the end.
This battle finally made the Half Seed Demon General understand one thing.
One thing that made his hair stand on end.
"The body of Daozu, Heaven's Equal …" The Half Seed Demon General paused and said to Xie Tian, who was emitting an extremely dense Daozu aura. "The ability to, Heaven's Equal?"
Xie Tian, whose body was beaten to a pulp, had a pair of bloodshot eyes that made people's hair stand on end.
Hearing this, he got up from the ground and said humbly, "I wasn't before. Thank you for your help."
