"The Dauntless monk can't stop worrying about me. He wants to observe my temperament and reactions. If I can't satisfy him, he won't let us out so easily."
Little Ann's voice rang out in his head. Li Qingshan continued onwards without batting an eyelid. "Then do I need you to demonstrate some kindness?"
"I can't fool him with a disguise. That's fine. However, I can find an opportunity to use some buddhist techniques to dispel his doubts."
"Alright!"
Li Qingshan nodded. So far, Little Ann had yet to fight. Since he was going to use something, he obviously needed a sufficiently powerful opponent. As a result, they continued onwards!
Along the way, basically all the people they came across were men. They would rush over madly as soon as they saw Little Ann, but they basically did not come across any women. According to Duoge, women were too weak, so most of them had already been eaten. As for him, he had only been eaten now, which was already a sign of his father's doting on him.
Li Qingshan was unable to comment on this doting. Turning around another corner, a man covered in indigo lunged over with a fierce gust of wind. His lunge possessed startling speed and strength, clearly on par with the Steel Plate corpse. However, his target was Duoge who led the way at the front.
Duoge cried out. Li Qingshan twisted his right hand and produced a vortex-like suction, pulling Duoge back. Then he pushed with it, and the vortex whistled through the air, turning into a waterspout and piercing the man, crushing him to pieces. Pieces of flesh and bone flew everywhere.
It had been many years since Li Qingshan fought and killed outside. He had killed countless people.
However, there were not many times when he had a more hardcore taste than in the Demon Suppression hall. Right now, he was just too powerful. A casual strike from him would dismember corpses and rip open stomachs. It was an extremely bloody sight.
However, the tanned, skinny Duoge who only seemed to be seven or eight years old would let out a cheer every time this happened. Every time this happened, they would let out a cheer of joy, their faces filled with excitement.
Li Qingshan forbade him from carrying the corpses, so he scooped up some pieces of meat and shoved them into his mouth like he was snacking. He ate happily.
There was nothing Li Qingshan could do. He could not be bothered to stop him.
This child was born with a demonic nature. He had no concept of good or evil at all, or in other words, all the people here were like this. They did not seem to have grown up in human society at all.
One must know that even in the Wildlands, tribes and clans would develop a basic concept of morality. Unless it was due to certain customs and traditions, or if they were forced to do so, they would not devour their own clansmen, let alone father and son.
But if they were savages who grew up in the wild. He shouldn't be able to think and speak so clearly. Even wild beasts wouldn't be so crazy.
He really had no idea where the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga had found them. Although he was not afraid of judging others with the greatest malice, the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga was still an orthodox buddhist sect after all. Surely they would not go as far as capturing some people and then turning them into something like this!
Duoge raised his head and looked reverently at Li Qingshan. "Supremacy, are you a Demon General? You're already so powerful even without demonification! "
Li Qingshan said: "I'm a human, what do you mean by demonized?"
"You're a human!" Duoge took a step back in fright. He had always thought that Li Qingshan was just like him.
"What's there to be afraid of about humans?" Li Qingshan was completely baffled. This child was not even afraid when he saw him slaughter his own clansmen. He was actually afraid when he heard he was human.
"This …"
"Tell me!"
"I heard … I heard that humans are all extremely kind and lowly. They like doing stupid things like helping others for free, and they're not ashamed of it. Instead, they take pride in it. They constantly attack us under this reason. They'll only be satisfied when we become as stupid and lowly as them, "Duoge mumbled.
How did kindness and lowly become derogatory terms when they were put together?
Li Qingshan rubbed his head and felt his head ache slightly. This was no longer just evil, but a complete reversal of the concept of right and wrong. It was as if in their minds, anyone who did good deeds like Lei Feng and sacrificed themselves for others would be utterly humiliating and extremely stupid.
He vaguely understood the meaning of the Demon Suppression hall. If these people were not suppressed here and made it outside, they would all be extremely vicious and evil.
"Didn't I just save you earlier? Isn't that supposed to be helping others? Acting bravely for a just cause? "
"No, no, no. Definitely not. I can lead the way for you and help you fight. If you're hungry, you can even eat me. This is all within your calculations. It's definitely not supposed to be helping others. It's very clever and very powerful, a demon among humans of great evil!"
Duoge was frightened out of his wits. He trembled and explained himself in a hurry. In the end, he even raised his thumb and gave Li Qingshan the glorious title of "demon among humans".
This was like someone asking you, "Do you think I'm a whore, an idiot, or a piece of trash?" It was very difficult for you to not treat it as an angry threat.
The corner of Li Qingshan's lips twitched, and he barely managed to make a happy expression. He sucked in a deep breath and raised his head, yelling at the ceiling, "Let me out!
I don't have the right to enter the Demon Suppression hall at all! "
He felt like he could already be regarded as an extremely kind person compared to this child. Oh right, he was cursing.
The Unraging monk laughed aloud. The Dauntless monk shook his head. "These demonfolk are still as thickheaded as ever. They don't know how to repent. Even this little demonfolk is filled with evil from the bottom of their hearts. "
"Demonfolk are born with a demon heart. Their five skandhas flourish, unable to distinguish between good and evil. Right and wrong are inverted. Probably only the buddhas of the western paradise can purify them. It's not something we can do, so there's no need for you to get angry, senior brother. "
"Junior brother, we might not be able to purify them, but we can destroy these enemies of buddha, just in case they grow up and cause even greater trouble. We can't be soft-hearted just because they look human or because they're young. "
The Dauntless monk said that, vaguely warning the Unraging monk. The Unraging monk laughed aloud, but he said nothing.
… …
His voice reverberated through the corridor, but there was no reply at all.
Li Qingshan sighed and said to Duoge, "Then what's the demonification you speak of?"
"All demonfolk can demonify, just like this!"
Duoge clenched his fists. His little face was bright red from holding back, and he even let out a gasp. In the end, only the colour of his eyes changed slightly. His body relaxed, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I'm still too young. Once I grow up, I'll definitely become an extremely powerful Demon King."
"Demonfolk, Demon King …" Li Qingshan murmured. If he ignored his strange words and actions, Duoge was no different from a regular child. He wanted to be a scientist, wanted to be a president, and so on.
Li Qingshan patted Duoge's head and said nothing more. "Let's keep going. Are there no stronger opponents here?"
"Venerable, you really are a vicious and brutal demon among humans. The place we're going to has a lot of powerful experts for us to kill!" Duoge's eyes lit up in admiration.
Then he said, "I heard grandfather say that actually, it doesn't matter if you're human. As long as you have a demon heart, everyone can become a demon. You'll definitely become a powerful Demon King in the future."
He seemed to be trying to comfort Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan shook his head with no idea how to react. With a gentle wave of his right hand, a rolling cloud rose up, lifting up Duoge as well. Afterwards, he said, "All you need to do is point the way. Let's get to the place you're talking about quickly."
The cloud took off with a swish. Duoge lay at the front, constantly pointing in a certain direction. The cloud soared through the maze-like Demon Suppression Hall.
Flying past thousands of prisons, Li Qingshan imagined the dignified manner in which the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga suppressed daemons when this place was filled with prisoners in the past. After several millennia of recuperation, they would only become even more powerful. If his identity was exposed, he would probably struggle to avoid being suppressed.
"Demonfolk" appeared before him one by one. If they did not come to obstruct him, Li Qingshan would not pay any attention to them, but if they dared to block his path, he could not be bothered with doing anything either. He just rammed over with a "cloud".
Under his control, the Cloud Treading Mist subdued the soft and the hard, and it moved with startling speed. Everyone he rammed into would suffer broken bones and spurt out blood. However, these "demonfolk" were all tough and possessed great vitality, so he had no idea whether they would die or not.
The path gradually widened, and the twists and turns and branching paths decreased.
However, more and more "demonfolk" appeared, and they became stronger and stronger. Some of them even wielded weapons such as blades, spears, swords, and halberds. Their abnormalities became more and more severe too.
The speed of the cloud naturally slowed down.
With a bang, the cloud knocked away a blade-wielding "demonfolk", and the blade flew out of his hand.
Duoge stuck his body out of the cloud and reached out to scoop it up. Holding it in his hand, he tossed aside the bone club he had just obtained and placed the bloody longsword on his back. However, it was taller than him, making him look a little comical. However, he looked very happy. His innocent look was no different from that of a mortal child who had obtained a favorite toy.
Li Qingshan felt rather sorrowful. He was not a person who was overflowing with sympathy, but he would always feel some gentleness towards children. Children were always weak and powerless. Everything was bound by their environment. They were powerless to fight back when they were oppressed, humiliated, and oppressed. They could not distinguish themselves even when they were bewitched by others. By the time they grew up and could make their own decisions, they had already been twisted beyond recognition a long time ago.
"Perhaps I'm thinking of myself in the past!"
Li Qingshan exhaled and rubbed Duoge's head. Duoge shrunk his neck back and turned around. He seemed vigilant and uneasy.
"Don't worry. As long as you have no ill intentions towards me, I won't kill you, nor will I eat you. I'm not a demonfolk, but a stupid human."
Duoge stuttered. He had no idea what to say!
Two huge, gilded doors appeared at the end of the path. Several dozen strangely-shaped demonfolk stood or sat in front of the doors, forming a circle. Two demonfolk were currently locked in a battle to the death in the centre as the others made a ruckus on the side.
"Kill him! Kill him!" They all watched over him covetously, ready to devour the flesh and blood of the loser. Seeing the cloud approach, they all turned around. Only the two demonfolk continued to fight with bloodshot eyes, sinking their sharp teeth into each other's bodies viciously like two frenzied fighting dogs.
One of the demonfolk originally leaned against the gilded doors, but he suddenly stood up now. He was already far taller than humans. His entire body was riddled with muscles, making him seem like a metal tower. A crown protruded from his head like a longhorn beetle.
The "longhorn beetle demonfolk" emerged from the crowd and made his way towards Li Qingshan with heavy steps. The other demonfolk all parted to form a path. Only the two demonfolk continued to fight one another.
The longhorn beetle demonfolk did not even look at them. He stepped over them, and with a spurt and crack, blood sprayed and bones broke. The two demonfolk were crushed in half, but their upper bodies still wrapped tightly around each other, tearing at one another furiously.
The longhorn beetle demonfolk arrived before Li Qingshan. His eyes were filled with lust as he stared straight at Little Ann, dripping with sticky saliva.
