Longevity begins with the sword of ignorance

Chapter 144 Can a Gentleman Be Deceived?
"Oh!"

"Father, you must not promise them."

Accompanied by the loud noise of the door being pushed open, Hou Hua, covered in blood and in a panic, broke in from the outside.

And when he entered the door, the first sentence made the murderous intent appear in the eyes of the demon cultivator.

"Mr. Hou, those who know the current affairs are heroes. I think you should think about it again."

"Join us, and you will become a great disciple of the Holy Sect. We are even willing to let a fairy marry you."

"But if you don't join...Jie Jie, killing your 20 Black Mountain Army and millions of military dependents will not be difficult for our Holy Sect."

"You also don't want the Black Prison City to be barren of grass."

In the same way, give a sweet date first, and then hit a big stick.

If the previous ambush of the All Souls Demon Sect had won, even though Hou Hua had made their thoughts clear, they would still grit their teeth and submit because of their inferior strength and fear of the old devil behind them.

But at this moment, facing the threat of the people from the Demon Sect, Hou Hua has no fear in his eyes, only... pity.

This kind of look made the few unruly demon cultivators who were pretending to be white faces very uncomfortable.

"Boy, if you dare to look at me with those eyes, don't want your tricks."

"Humph!"

Such a threat made Hou Pengfei take a step forward and stop the demon cultivator and his son.

At the same time, taking the opportunity to step forward, he also asked his son: "Don't let me agree... Did the ambush of the Demon Gate fail? The Taoist support team avoided them?"

Deriving with ordinary rationality, Hou Pengfei felt that as long as he met the Mozong monks who were in ambush with the three thousand black armor troops, they would be able to defeat the Taoist reinforcements and make the two sides lose their balance.

Therefore, only when the ambush failed, his own son would make a sound to prevent him from joining the Demon Sect.

Thinking of this, Hou Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that this result was the best.

Whether it's for yourself or for Daomen.

But soon, he discovered that his imagination was still too lacking.

"Avoid? No, when I went there, the Demon Sect and the Dao Sect had already fought a battle, and the battle between the two parties was over."

Speaking of this, before the remaining members of the Demon Sect showed joy, Hou Hua looked dazed, and said bitterly: "But the result of the battle was not the victory we expected for the members of the Demon Sect. They lost! A disastrous defeat!"

"More than 100 Demon Sect cultivators who ambushed Cloud Firmament Sect and [-] Black Armored Army, most of them died in battle, Dao Sect cultivators... all survived!"

"impossible."

As soon as these words were said, doubts sounded immediately.

It wasn't the monks of the Devil's Gate who questioned them. When they first heard of the defeat, they panicked a little.

But when they heard that almost all members of their own family were killed in battle, while the other side survived, they immediately laughed.

"Hahahaha, warrior, do you want to laugh at me to death? All of us died in battle, and the opponent survived? How did you come up with such an absurd idea?"

"Hey, give me a good reason to lie!"

"I've always heard that warriors are a bit dull compared to us immortal cultivators. Now it seems that this is not stupid at all, but stupid!"

The people from the Demon Sect were mocking, and Hou Pengfei, who was the first to question, couldn't hold back anymore.

However, just when he was about to reprimand him, he saw his brave eldest son with fear and regret on his face.

"Hahaha……"

Momen was laughing, and he was laughing too, with a sad smile of remorse and grief.

"Yes, that's the feeling, that's the reaction... If you don't believe such an exaggerated record, I don't believe it either."

"Even if you listened to me, I saw it with my own eyes. I saw the corpses all over the ground, and I saw blood everywhere!"

"But subconsciously, I still don't believe that Daomen will be that strong."

"Hahaha... woo woo..."

First laugh miserably, then cry bitterly.

The defensive line of mind was shattered by Zhong Cang, making Hou Hua, whose mind was particularly fragile, burst into tears at this moment.

He was regretting, regretting before, why he challenged Zhong Cang.

"I killed them!"

Regret, despair...and visceral fear.

Hou Hua, who was in an extremely abnormal mood, made several people in the room feel that something was wrong.

Subconsciously, the ridicule of the demon cultivator became slightly smaller.

On the other side, Hou Pengfei grabbed Hou Hua's shoulder, lifted him up, looked straight into his eyes and said, "Calm down, I have everything. Tell me, what happened to you?"

The majesty of his father made Hou Hua calm down a little bit, and he, who was bitter, also said the things he regretted and feared the most.

"I don't want to believe that the Taoist sect is so strong, and I want to give them a deterrent. After seeing them victorious, I didn't stop. Instead, I ordered the cavalry to charge and prepare to scare them."

"They made a move?"

"Well, I made a move, but without them, there is only one 'He', that person... no, that monster, just took one step forward, and the ten thousand heavy cavalrymen I led were suppressed like ants, causing countless casualties. "

"...Hahaha, I didn't expect you, Xiaohua, to be joking, but this statement is not funny..."

Hearing this for the first time, Hou Pengfei laughed a few times.

However, looking at the despair and remorse on his eldest son's face, Hou Pengfei's dry smile gradually disappeared.

He knew that his eldest son, who he was most satisfied with, would never deceive himself with such absurd things.

It's just that the result of destroying an army in one step is too bizarre, like a myth, no matter what he does, he can't convince himself.

Because of this, in the end, Hou Pengfei turned his attention to the people from the Demon Sect and asked them.

"I remember that you monks have a lot of means, and you can contact them remotely...Why don't you ask your leader how the battle is going?"

"Hehe, General Hou, you don't really believe in such absurd words, do you?"

Although they retorted subconsciously, the laughter of the demon monks in the room was a bit dry and lacked confidence.

Instead of being reminded by General Hou, they used various means to contact their leader early on.

However, most of the means of contact did not respond at all.

This kind of silence of stone sinking into the sea made the pressure, like the water of the deep sea, press down on them from all directions.

Soon, they couldn't even make a dry smile, and what remained on their faces were only cold sweat and panic.

"Return! Why didn't you even respond, Mr. Wushan?"

After calling for a while, finally, a lucky magician contacted a living fellow sect through a bone talisman.

The two are still Taoist couples.

However, before the monk was happy, a word filled with endless fear came out of the bone charm.

"escape!!!"

The only message that came back was this one. When the witch cultivator wanted to contact her, she found that the bone talisman had broken—this meant that the other side had actively disconnected.

This scene caused an endless chill, like a basin of cold water, to pour directly into the heart of the demon cultivator in the living room.

They understand the meaning of the other party's doing this - people who are afraid of Taoism can find themselves through talismans.

The companions who attacked by themselves are so cautious, which also proves one thing from the side...they lost, or failed miserably!

After realizing this, You Moxiu didn't want to believe it. They didn't understand how they could lose with such a big advantage.

But more demon cultivators looked at each other, and with a "bang", they tried their best to escape quickly.

This scene stunned the Hou family father and son.

Among them, Hou Pengfei stretched out his hand, intending to order his subordinates to stop him, but in the end, he hesitated and did not do so.

Hou Hua gave the order instead.

"Grab them, don't let them go!"

Unfortunately, no one obeyed his orders.

And this also made Hou Hua anxious.

"Father, quickly order to encircle and suppress them."

"Hehe, Hua'er, don't worry, this is their fight, we don't need to take action."

"There is no more fighting, the Demon Sect has already been defeated, we must make a choice, and we must do it as soon as possible!"

Hou Hua, who was speaking, did not look at his father, but turned his gaze to the door.

It was not his father who refuted him just now, but several other lieutenants of the Black Mountain Army.

Hou Hua was eager, but they were not in a hurry when they got the order and returned from the search.

Even knowing that the Cloud Firmament Sect was going to win here, they still remained calm.

"We just know that Daomen has won, so we don't need to rush..."

"..."

As soon as the leisurely man finished speaking halfway, Hou Hua understood what they were thinking.

A gentleman can be deceived.

Compared with the Demon Sect, although the Yunxiao Sect also invaded the lower realms, as a decent sect, their eating habits are still a little shameful.

When encountering resources and minerals, they will collect them, and if they hire the people below, they will be willing to share some of the benefits.

At the same time, the monks of Yunxiaozong are generally a little arrogant and noble, but this kind of personality also makes them hardly pay attention to people from the lower realms, let alone deliberately embarrassing them.

Some monks will also give some mortals 'adventures' because of the ideas of the gamers, or remove disasters (monsters, fires, and rivers) for mortals.

This kind of behavior gave them an illusion that they could reason with Taoism.

In particular, they believe that they still have some strength and can influence the victory of the Dao Demon War, which makes them even less eager.

Some people even gave birth to the idea of ​​protecting the demon sect and preventing the dao sect from killing them all.

"By the way, the Demon Sect suffered such a disastrous defeat, should we help?"

"It can help, but it needs to be concealed..."

"Also, I took a look when I came back. We have a lot of black armored soldiers who were injured by Taoism. This method is too cruel."

"Who says it's not? We just want to deter them, but they directly attack, and they attack so fiercely. This is a bit too much. We must report this matter and let the Daomen punish the monk who did it."

"Tell them that if we don't give us a satisfactory answer, we will never take refuge. I, Montenegro, have dignity..."

Listening to the words of several deputy army commanders, Hou Hua was a little powerless and even a little self-deprecating.

The reason for this is because, before - he also thought so.

He felt that Taoist sects were reasonable and could be deceived. Therefore, when he charged and threatened, even if Yun Xiaozong was upset, he also felt that the other party would not make a move.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

With his heart open, the inhuman Zhong Cang is extremely overbearing, he will do whatever is best for him.

Mortal people's emotions... pity, kindness, all kinds of things will not affect Zhong Cang in the slightest.

That estimate was wrong, and the result Hou Hua obtained was [-] heavy cavalry under his command, with more than half of the casualties, wailing all over the field.

Now, my father and uncle are making the same mistakes as me.

Thinking of the eyes that looked like the sky and looked at everything like ants, Hou Hua's whole body trembled.

He had an inexplicable feeling that if Zhong Cang's request was not met, the Black Mountain Army would most likely be completely wiped out.

"No, we can't do that!"

"Absolutely not!"
