"As a matter of fact, I saw something in the East Guardian Pavilion …" Mofan was obviously going to target Pavilion Master Shigatsu.
However, Ozawa shook his head at Mofan, signaling Mofan that it was not the time yet.
He could not target Pavilion Master Shigatsu directly.
After all, Pavilion Master Shigatsu was one of the rulers of the Shuangshou Pavilion. There would only be one outcome if Qin Nan provoked him. Pavilion Master Shigatsu would immediately order the people of the Shuangshou Pavilion to arrest Mofan. It would turn into a battle between the people.
Mofan might be strong, but he would not be able to save the people who were still conscious after being controlled by the evil cultivators!
"Pavilion Master, Kurochuan Jing might be an accident, but I did see some people in the East Guardian Pavilion. I'll point them out one by one. I hope Pavilion Master won't hesitate any further. The Shuangshou Pavilion is in danger. You must bear the pain and deal with them!" said Ozawa.
"Tell me about them," Pavilion Master Shigatsu was observing Ozawa.
Mochizuki No Ken and Nobuko Fujikata did not say anything, but they knew what they had to do.
"This is another list. They are very sure that they are all Blood Demons," Ozawa took out another list.
"Let me take a look at it first," said General Takuichi.
General Takuichi gave the list to the other three after reading it. He said calmly, "Shouldn't we take a look at it too?"
The list Ozawa gave them did not include all the Blood Demons. After all, even Ozawa had no idea how many people were locked up in the cells.
He had gone deep into the cells and written down the names of the people locked up in the cells based on his memory. However, he only handed over a portion of the names.
If he handed over too many Blood Demons, Pavilion Master Shigatsu, Nobuko Fujikata, and Mochizuki No Ken would turn against him immediately. Once the Blood Demons were eliminated, they would lose control of the Shuangshou Pavilion.
However, they could accept sacrificing a portion of their people for the sake of the Moonless Night.
It was a game of chess.
Ozawa was well aware of the situation he was in. He would only cause chaos if he exposed the truth. Since they had to put on a show, they had to eliminate a portion of the Blood Demons while the enemy thought it was not a big deal. They also had to identify the people who were conscious …
Mochizuki No Ken, Nobuko Fujikata, and Pavilion Master Shigatsu, General Shigatsu, and General Shigatsu hesitated,.
"Should we lay our cards on the table?" Fujikata Tegami asked in a low voice.
"It's not worth it, it's just a few dozen people." Mochizuki Ken shook his head.
"Shigatsu's general," Shigatsu of Shigatsu.
, if we to the Pavilion Shigto kill Pavilion to stop to be Shigatto a case....., we we Pavilion Shigatsu's a Shig, General, General, Shigto Shigatsu, we, we we we we to Shigatsu Shigatsu, to's., Shigatsu Shigatsu Shigatsu su. Shigatsu.... would be defeated Shigatsu's Shigatsu was...
General Shigatsu clenched his teeth.
It was all because of Shigatsu Shigatsu's fault. They could have been reborn if he had held back a little longer, yet he insisted on getting himself killed. If he knew Shigatsu Shigatsu was so uncontrollable, he would have taken him out himself!
"Humph, I've checked the list. There isn't anyone important. They're just a bunch of trash," General Shigatsu said.
They were all prisoners. They were all insane people. How could they talk about feelings?
If they did not share the same goal, which was to escape from the East Guardian Tower, they would rather everyone die, just so they would not expose themselves again!
…
General Shigatsu agreed. The list of Blood Demons that Ozawa had listed was made public.
"Do it, don't give them any chance to resist!" General Shigatsu gave the order. He immediately asked the Mages of the Shuangshou Pavilion to make their moves.
A total of 37 people were directly pulled out from the pavilion. Without exception, all of them were Blood Demons. They were tortured and revealed their true forms.
General Shigatsu was smart, too. To prevent the thirty-seven people from accusing the Blood Demons of being the culprits, he killed them all on the spot!
It was supposed to be a courtroom, but it suddenly turned into a bloodbath. Even though there were only thirty-seven people, it still gave everyone a great shock.
"As expected of the Pavilion Master, it's all thanks to you that we were able to eliminate the parasites."
"Not at all, Ozawa did a great job. As a matter of fact, I was the one who asked Ozawa to do it. If Ozawa broke the rules of the Shuangshou Pavilion because of my order, he should be given a lighter punishment. It's our fault that the Shuangshou Pavilion is in such a mess, especially me, as the Pavilion Master. Let's call it a day. Everyone, go back and get some rest, "General Shigatsu said to the crowd.
It was obvious that the trial could not continue. General Shigatsu had the courage to cut his own losses, but who knew how many of their companions would be dragged out. They could not afford to be blamed by the Red Demon himself!
"Pavilion Master, don't forget to save the people imprisoned in the East Guardian Pavilion. They've suffered a lot," reminded Ozawa.
"Of course, of course!" General Shigatsu nodded in agreement.
…
They did not force the Blood Demons too much. It would not do them any good if the Blood Demons showed their cards. As such, they had no choice but to call it a day.
To calm the crowd down, Ozawa had no choice but to lie to them. He told them that the Blood Demons had been eliminated, and that the Shuangshou Pavilion would soon return to peace.
However, Ozawa could not help but burst into tears when he said the words. It was hard to tell if it was because of the pain brought by the dagger, or because he was sad for the Shuangshou Pavilion that had been destroyed beyond recognition.
Ozawa was released. He returned to his room.
Ling Ling treated Ozawa's wounds and wrapped the bandage around his abdomen a few times. She felt a little sad when she saw Ozawa's painful expression.
Ozawa, who had learned the truth, had to face a colossus. He even had to force himself to accept the terrifying truth and abandon some of his beliefs.
"I still couldn't save everyone," said Ozawa regretfully.
"You've already done a great job. You're better than anyone else. Most people would choose to join the Blood Demons when they know they can't change anything. You're the only one who chose to keep fighting. It's impressive that you're able to make such a decision, "Ling Ling comforted Ozawa.
"But there are still so many …" Ozawa was still unwilling to give up. He was annoyed that he did not hand over more people. Perhaps the Blood Demons would agree to it.
"Aren't you prepared for me to destroy the Shuangshou Pavilion? You don't have to worry about it anymore. At least the outcome is better," said Mofan.
"You've already done a great job. If you took another step forward, the Blood Demons would most likely have a showdown. They might even execute the people imprisoned in the East Guardian Pavilion. You've given the Blood Demons room to maneuver, which means you've given the people of the East Guardian Pavilion a chance to live, "said Ling Ling.
Ozawa nodded silently. He had the same thought in mind.
"Fighting doesn't depend on hot-bloodedness, nor does it depend on rushing forward recklessly. Even if you know that the enemy is right in front of you, many times you need to think carefully before taking every step like today, even if you have to compromise with the enemy …" Ling Ling had a whole new level of respect for Ozawa's behavior today.
