"Five, four, three …" The countdown was still going on.
Lu Qingshan had no choice but to do this. He did not have time to stay here. Although this would make him known to everyone, it was indeed the most efficient way to solve the problem.
However, even if Granny Golden Snake knew what he did in the White Flower Snake Village and wanted to settle the score with him, it would be a matter of one or two days later.
With his speed, Granny Golden Snake would be far away from here in one or two days. The Three Thousand Mountains were so big. As long as he did not appear in other villages, how could Granny Golden Snake find him in a short time?
Not to mention that after sending Mi Di back to Green Hill, he would leave the Three Thousand Mountains.
Therefore, he had no scruples.
"Two …" Lu Qingshan's voice gradually became cold.
"Stop counting. I was the one who tricked the deer demon back. I was also the one who came up with the idea!" Suddenly, an old voice came from the crowd.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice.
"It's Elder Li!" Someone exclaimed.
Lu Qingshan also looked in the direction of the voice. It was an old man about fifty years old. His skinny face was full of wrinkles.
Because they had been soaking in the Poison Spirit Flower's well water for a long time, the lifespan of the Witchcraft Tribe's mortals was generally not long. They could not live past fifty years old. Therefore, this old man was already considered old.
"Chu Mazi, Li Er … Come out. What are you hiding for? A man should take responsibility for his own actions. What kind of man are you if you implicate your family? "Elder Li shouted.
Under Elder Li's scolding, another thirty to forty villagers stood out with complicated expressions. Among them, there were young people in their twenties and middle-aged men in their thirties.
The old man walked at the front and led the villagers to the platform.
The other villagers silently moved to the sides and made a path for them. These people walked until they were in front of Lu Qingshan.
"We tricked the deer demon back to the village." Elder Li raised his head and looked at Lu Qingshan on the platform. He said loudly, "A man should take responsibility for his own actions. I hope Lord Wizard will keep his words and not vent his anger on our family."
In the eyes of the villagers, cultivators were wizards.
Lu Qingshan did not reply. Instead, he looked at Mi Di with a questioning gaze.
"Yi Yi Ya Ya!" Mi Di called out twice.
The Western Rat King nodded at Lu Qingshan.
What he meant was that the people who had lured Mi Mi back to the village were all here.
Lu Qingshan turned his head, looked at Elder Li, and coldly said, "You are all poisoned and your lives are hanging by a thread. It was Miao Qiao who saved you from danger. Not only are you ungrateful, you even turned around and framed him, causing him to become like this. You are even more hateful than Wu Qiao!"
"Hateful? What did I do wrong? It's a demon, and we're humans. It's hard for humans to coexist with demons, so isn't it natural for humans to kill demons? " The old man was fearless, as if he knew that he would definitely die. His eyes were filled with calmness as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
The Western Rat King was furious. He couldn't help but stand up and point at the old man's nose. "Do demons deserve to be killed?"
"Yes! Those who aren't of our race must have a different heart. Demons deserve to die. They commit all kinds of evil and kill us mortals.
It's because of these demons that we humans have to drink poisonous well water every day. Most of the villagers can't live past the age of ten because of this. Don't demons deserve to die? "Elder Li retorted.
Elder Li's words seemed to evoke the same feelings in the hearts of many villagers. They couldn't help but discuss it.
"Elder Li's wife and children died at the hands of demons," someone in the know whispered. "No wonder Elder Li hates demons so much."
Although the aura of the Poisoned Spirit Flower was disgusting to demons, it wasn't omnipotent. Therefore, many humans had died tragically at the hands of demons even if they drank well water that was soaked in Poisoned Spirit Flower all year round.
"Elder Li is right. Those demons have harmed us humans for so many years. They deserve to die!" a villager supported, his voice full of resentment.
"But … this deer demon …" a villager hesitated.
…
"But Mi Di saved your lives. He's your savior!" The Western Rat King was so angry that his body trembled. He didn't hesitate at all and directly questioned them.
"So what? Can this change the fact that he's a demon? "Elder Li said unhurriedly as he looked at the furious Western Rat King.
Hearing the elder's absurd words, the Western Rat King was so angry that he didn't know what to say. However, Lu Qingshan wasn't angry at all. He even couldn't help but laugh.
"Lord Wizard, what are you laughing at?" Elder Li didn't understand.
"You're right." Lu Qingshan stopped laughing and nodded. He calmly said, "If he's a demon, then he must be killed."
"Lu Qingshan, you?!" The Western Rat King pointed at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.
"But, he's not a demon." Lu Qingshan flipped his hand, and a ray of sword energy shot out. In an instant, the elder's head was chopped off, and it fell to the ground.
Because the sword energy was too fast, the elder's head rolled a few times on the ground before his headless corpse slowly fell to the ground.
"You're the demon!" Lu Qingshan looked at Elder Li's corpse and said slowly.
Lu Qingshan's gaze was like a knife as he glanced at the remaining thirty to forty villagers one by one.
Some lowered their heads and didn't speak. Some looked resentful, and some looked regretful. Their expressions were different.
"Today, I'll kill a demon," Lu Qingshan murmured.
He raised his right hand, and a ray of sword energy shot out from his fingertips again. It turned into countless thin threads in the air and swept past the necks of the thirty to forty mortals.
In an instant, another thirty to forty heads fell to the ground. Their headless corpses fell into a pool of blood.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the scene was bloody.
"Let's go." Lu Qingshan cut off these heads and didn't look at other people's reactions. He left with Mi Du and the Western Rat King.
He had to hurry back to Green Hill with Mi Du.
…
"Lu Qingshan, why do you think that old man refused to admit his mistakes before he died?" the Western Rat King asked in confusion.
"Because he really did think that what he did was right."
"But he was clearly wrong." The Western Rat King couldn't understand.
"People have different values, and it's the most difficult thing to change a person's values." Lu Qingshan was very calm.
"Ah … I see …" The Western Rat King was very depressed. Obviously, he still couldn't get over Elder Li's actions.
"But you just need to have a harder fist than him." Lu Qingshan said calmly, "I don't care if he really knows his mistakes or if he really reflects on his guilt. I only care if I can punish him."
The Western Rat King fell into silence. He seemed to have understood something.
On the other hand, Mi Du looked at Lu Qingshan with its big eyes and couldn't help but blink.
It felt that although Lu Qingshan and Grandpa Qingqiu who saved it were both good people, they were completely different.
It couldn't tell the difference between the two, but it realized that it could learn something very special from Lu Qingshan.
It was something that Grandpa Qingqiu didn't have, but it was very useful.
Lu Qingshan was also a little dazed at this time.
This was because he realized that after killing the dozens of mortals, his Slaughter Sword Intent had actually improved a little.
The Slaughter Sword Essence in his previous life was just a piece of data to him. Therefore, he only knew how to use it, but he had no idea how to improve the Sword Essence.
This unexpected improvement of the Slaughter Sword Essence was a pleasant surprise for Lu Qingshan, who was still at the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones.
