Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 671: Surrender
"There is no way this could be done casually!"

"It must be an elaborate arrangement, in order to establish authority!"

"So scheming, so vicious!"

"I heard that there is a method in the Wandao Academy called Tiangong Zaofa, which is a culmination of various methods and arts such as alchemy, talismans, arrays, and instruments. It removes the dross and retains the essence, and is an innovative creation method that can combine the power of trillions of instruments, can fight across borders, and even cross the barrier between immortals and mortals."

"That sword must be a fairy mecha, which combines the power of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and billions of magical instruments into one body. With that person's split spirit controlling it, it can suppress the Great Sage Tongtian under the mountain with one strike."

"As a true immortal, facing a person whose cultivation is not as good as yours, you still scheme so hard?"

"The Great Sage Tongtian has tried his best. He used the Heaven and Earth Magic right from the start in order to guard against the method he used to kill Qi Zhengming in the South China Sea. However, he still fell into his trap."

"Back in the South China Sea, the means that caused Qi Zhengming's death and disappearance should have been exerted by the formation and the power of heaven and earth, taking advantage of the rejection of the lower world to the true immortals, to accomplish the feat of defeating nine disasters with one disaster."

"The Great Sage Tongtian was on guard against this trick, but he didn't expect that he had another trick, the magic created by the heavens..."

"All dharmas and arts are united as one. Is there such a dharma in the world?"

"I heard that a few months ago, at the Wandao Conference held in the Central Plains, many ninth-level immortal objects were auctioned. Immortal pills, immortal talismans, immortal tools and immortal treasures were either eighth-level or ninth-level, and they were all new items. They were not relics from the caves of our ancestors or from ancient secret realms. This shows that..."

"Li Xuanyuan's alchemy, talisman, array, weapon, and other skills, as well as his cultivation in all arts, have all reached the ninth level, or even higher!"

"It's only been 1,500 years, and it's ok for him to complete the Nine Tribulations. But how could he also cultivate all the laws and arts and the Heavenly Craftsmanship at the same time, and reach the pinnacle? This cannot be explained by natural talent or understanding."

"There is no smoke without fire. It seems that the rumors are true. The Wan Dao Lord is the reincarnation of a great being from the upper realm. At the very least, he is an earthly immortal, and he possesses a world-shaking treasure and a great secret!"

"What is his plan when he reincarnates into the lower world? Could it be..."

Everyone was terrified and kept looking for excuses to make a reasonable explanation for the war.

But the more he tried to make amends, the more frightened he became, and finally he was so terrified that he didn't even dare to make any further guesses.

Above the colorful auspicious clouds, Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling didn't care about all that and just looked at the Monkey King who was suppressed at the foot of the mountain.

"Although you are stupid and don't know good from evil, you still have some integrity. Therefore, the Taoist master will not take your life. I will only suppress you under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years. After 500 years, if you can gain enlightenment and return to the right path, then I will set you free."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Roar!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all around fell silent, except for the monkey head at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, which was howling and screaming, its golden eyes and sharp fangs revealing its ferocity. It had no intention of submitting, and instead struggled to push away the Five Elements Mountain on its body.

But the Five Elements Mountain is so heavy, and it combines the principles of Yin and Yang, the theory of the Five Elements, the mutual generation and restraint, and restricts all things. Even if he is an Eight Tribulations Demon Saint, he will fall into the mortal world at this moment, and his struggle is doomed to be futile.

Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling ignored him and only cast their gazes towards Dongyuan, looking at the remaining virtual immortals, demon saints and thousands of demon cultivators: "If anyone else is like him, just step forward and finish him off!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

In response to this statement, all the virtual immortals, demon saints, and demon cultivators from the ten countries fell silent again.

There is no need to say much about the pro-war faction. The Tongbi Divine Ape and the Holy Fighting Method are already the strongest fighting force of the Dongyuan Demon Kingdom, and yet they were suppressed in one move, let alone the others.

Without combat power support, how can we talk about fighting the war?
Naturally, I can only remain silent.

As for the faction that advocates surrender, although they advocate surrender, they cannot be without bottom line. The Great Sage Tongtian sacrificed his life to fight for the demon clan, and even though he knew he could not win, he still fought hard. He can be said to be doing it for the greater good. Even the Wandao Academy has some approval for this integrity.

In comparison, their faction that advocates surrender is already somewhat ugly. If they surrender immediately after the defeat, they will appear to be servile. Not to mention how the demon clan will react, even the Wandao Academy will look down on them. They will not be treated well if they surrender, and will be in trouble from both sides.

Therefore, the pro-surrender faction was in a difficult position to speak at this moment.

The wavering centrists, those who advocate war or surrender, are unlikely to speak out, so how can the wavering fence-sitters in the middle come forward?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shui Lingling and Gui Sanqian didn't care. They looked at the silent monsters and said a few words.

"You guys, take care of yourself!"

After saying this, he was about to ride the cloud back without caring about the reactions of the monsters.

At this moment...

"Wait a minute, two immortal children!"

A loud shout came from the west.

"Um!?"

Shui Lingling and Gui Sanqian stopped the auspicious clouds, and the monsters in Dongyuan and the cultivators from all sides looked at them intently.

I saw a black light coming from the west, landing in front of the auspicious clouds, and turning into a figure.

She was a woman, a demon woman. Although she was also wearing armor, it did not seem to have much defensive effect. Large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed. She had a graceful figure, an elegant posture, and an absolutely beautiful face. Her every move exuded a charm that could make everyone fall in love with her.

Exactly...

"The Ten Thousand Demon King?"

"Why is she here?"

When they saw this woman's face, everyone was shocked, because she was none other than the powerful demon who was as famous as the Great Sage Tongtian - the Ten Thousand Demon King!
Although she looks coquettish, her strength is no less than that of the Great Sage Tongtian and Qi Zhengming who was not yet promoted to the True Immortal at that time. They are all powerful people who have completed the eight tribulations and have extremely strong combat power. They are only one step away from entering the realm of true demons.

So, what is she doing here?
Even the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has been defeated, she wouldn't think that she can be better, right?

If you don't come to fight, then you come...

"Nangong Yudie, hello to the two fairy children!"

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Ten Thousand Demon King stepped forward and bowed, completely disregarding his status as an Eight Tribulations Heavenly Demon.

"It turns out to be the Ten Thousand Demon King!"

Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling were not surprised to see this, and asked Nangong Yudie, "What is the Ten Thousand Demons King doing here?"

"Before the two immortal children, Yudie was not worthy of these four words!"

Nangong Yudie, however, lowered her attitude and said to Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling, "Yudie came here this time to ask the fairy boy, after the Wandao Academy took over the Wilderness, can it really treat everyone equally?"

Gui Sanqian nodded: "Of course, this is the school's rules and the Taoist master's promise, how can it be false?"

"Then Yudie will be relieved!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yudie also took quick action and bowed down with great respect: "Yudie is willing to lead the demons under the rule of the school palace and serve the Taoist master. I will never regret it even if I die!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was dead silence all around again, especially among the demon clan leaders who had surrendered, they gnashed their teeth in hatred.

This witch is so shameless!
Why didn't they surrender earlier or later, but they surrendered at this time, and in front of the whole world, in full view of everyone!

What does it mean?
You want to use my demon clan as a stepping stone for you, right?

My demon clan is stubborn and unyielding, but your demon clan is wise and righteous?
When it comes to some things, I'm not afraid of anything except being compared with others.

By doing this, the female devil made the demon clan a negative example and herself a positive role model. She would be given preferential treatment if she entered the academy, and would not have to face the embarrassing situation of the demon clan being caught in a dilemma and unable to advance or retreat.

even……

"To be honest with you two immortal children, my demon race has been suffering in the wilderness for a long time!"

Nangong Yudie cried as she spoke: "In ancient times, there was actually no distinction between humans, monsters, and demons in the world. We demons were not born as demons, but there are differences in our ways, so there are monsters and demons."

"It is because our demon clan's cultivation is biased towards killing, and we also practice the six desires, seven emotions and other unconventional techniques, which are not tolerated by the righteous path, so we are given the word demon, and after the ancient war we were exiled to the wild land, and thus evolved into today's demon clan."

"In fact, there are many demons and humans among our demon race, but we are forced to be demons by the major immortal sects based on the Tao. This makes us feel very wronged." "Although our demon race practices killing and the seven emotions and six desires, this is one of the great ways of heaven and earth. Why is it that when we practice, we become the demons that bring disaster to the world, while those who practice in the holy places of the immortal sects become the guardian gods and Buddhas, the sword immortals who slay demons, the great way of yin and yang, and the wonderful theory of dual cultivation?"

"This is really unfair. It also caused our people to act more and more extreme, and eventually committed the sin of killing without reason..."

Nangong Yudie spoke in tears and actually revealed some ancient secrets.

"Devil!"

"How dare you do this!"

But this secret made the people who were watching from all sides shocked and angry.

What does it mean?
What does it mean!
Just lower it if you want to. No one is stopping you. Why are you fussing about these things?
Isn't this just an eye-opener?
A group of immortal monks and immortals from the holy land were shocked and angry, but they could do nothing.

Just as Nangong Yudie said, the concept of demons is actually not clear, because it is not like humans and monsters have a clear blood boundary, but is divided by Tao. Those who are bloodthirsty are demons, those who are greedy are demons, and those who bring disaster to the world and destroy all living things are demons.

At least this is the case in the Northern Territory. The so-called demons are actually humans, monsters, and various creatures who practice magic.

Therein lies a problem.

What is magic?

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The way of killing is the way of evil?
Is there no method of killing in the holy land of the immortal sect?
Yin and Yang, life and death, these are the principles of heaven and earth. Just because they practice the way of destruction and killing, you label them as demons?
How do we explain the thunder and sword techniques, as well as various fighting techniques of the holy land of immortals? Aren’t they methods of destruction and killing?

It is true that the Savage Demon Clan is extreme and contains many evil leaders who bring disaster to the world, but there are also many innocent people who were forced to become demons, just like the unorthodox practices in the South China Sea.

It’s all about interests!
Nangong Yudie seized this opportunity, not only to clear herself, but also to throw dirty water on these holy places and immortal sects, to gain sympathy and show loyalty. It can be said that she killed two birds with one stone.

But she kills two birds with one stone and doesn't care about how others feel?
Their holy land and immortal sect in the Central Plains has been squeezing the space for survival and development of the Wandao Academy in various ways over the years. It has been very difficult for them to survive. Do you, a female devil, want to add insult to injury?
If I had known this, I would have killed you!

The people of the Immortal Sect secretly hated it, but they could do nothing about it.

Above the colorful auspicious clouds, Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling looked at each other before speaking.

"Whether you are a demon or a monster, since you have entered my Wandao Academy, I will not remember anything that happened before."

"But there is one thing you must understand. Our academy is built on the law, and the law is beyond your control."

"From now on, under the jurisdiction of my academy, no matter if it is human, demon, or any other race, everyone must act according to the law. Those who break the law will be punished, without any bias based on race or bloodline!"

"The Northern Territory is building a boundary, and the four sides of the Central Plains can now exchange what they have. The people of the four wild and border areas can enter the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains can also enter the four wild and border areas. The academy treats everyone equally, and justice is justice, and justice is justice!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was dead silence all around again.

Only Nangong Yudie showed a happy expression: "Since the fairy boy said so, Yudie is relieved. I will go back to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace and wait for the academy to take over."

After saying this, he bowed to the two children again, then rode away to the west.

Everyone was left behind, their minds were silent, and the saints of the Demon Kingdom looked at each other in bewilderment.

This female devil!
Do you have to do things so drastically?
What will happen to other people if you do this?
"You two..."

The demon saints looked at each other, and finally someone couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

However, before he could finish his words, Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling flew away on a cloud, causing the man to freeze suddenly.

Such and such...

To the west, in the wilderness, in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons!
"Welcome to the King of Heaven!"

Nangong Yudie drove back to the palace, and all the demon cultivators knelt down to greet her. Only a group of demons at the calamity realm remained unmoved.

Some even went further and attacked her directly.

"You surrendered like this?"

"In front of everyone?"

"Why don't you discuss it with us?"

"It would be fine if you didn't fight, but why did you act so recklessly for your own sake?"

A group of calamity realm demons questioned him verbally, among which the two eight-tribulation realm demons were the most severe.

"Humph!!!"

Nangong Yudie snorted coldly, and her imposing power swept down and swept everyone away. Where was the weak and sobbing posture from before? "I am doing this for myself. If I were doing this for myself, I would have transcended the tribulation and ascended to heaven long ago. Why do I need to be so servile?"

"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for my demonic path and for the people of the wilderness?"

"Li Xuanyuan's cultivation has reached a level that is beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts. His resistance is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The only way to survive is to surrender."

Nangong Yudie looked at the demons coldly: "I know what you are worried about. In order to win the hearts of the people and unify the Northern Territory, Wandao Academy will definitely not care about the previous things, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future. You can either clean up your butts or get out of the wilderness and go overseas. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless and disregarding our past friendship!"

"you……!"

"Humph!!!"

Such words shocked and angered everyone, but Nangong Yudie ignored them, snorted coldly and walked away.

A group of demons in the calamity realm were left looking at each other in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, not knowing what to do.

Just as Nangong Yudie said, they had only one concern, that is, after Wandao Academy took over the Wilderness, it would turn against them and settle past affairs with them, or treat them, the demon race, harshly.

Putting this aside, they are still very willing to be under the jurisdiction of the academy.

Because they are different from those immortal gates and holy places in the Central Plains of the Northern Territory. The reason why those immortal gates and holy places resisted the Wandao Academy is that the Wandao Academy squeezed their living space, broke the monopoly of cultivation techniques and many resources, and hindered their development, leaving them without successors and unable to continue.

If this continues, in a few thousand years their Taoist tradition will not only be extinct, but will also decline and wither.

But that is the holy land and immortal gate in the Northern Territory.

The living standards of these demons and barbarians in the wild and remote areas are not very good to begin with. Joining the Wandao Academy will not only not harm their interests, but will instead bring them many benefits. At least that is the case for the middle and low-level demons and monsters.

As for these high-level people, there are actually quite a few benefits. After all, the Lord Wan Dao is famous for his generosity, and he is suspected to be a powerful being from the upper realm with extraordinary teaching abilities. If they can become his disciple and receive his teachings, they will have more confidence in surviving the tribulation.

Why are they so cautious about such a good thing?

Because I can’t tell for sure!
The world is bustling with people, all for their own benefit.

The Wandao Academy wanted to unify the Northern Territory, and would not even let go of this poor and barren borderland. It was even willing to let go of past grudges, accept these demon people, and give them the same treatment.

How much investment and effort are required for all these?

The resources of the world are limited, but the expansion and demand of population are unlimited. Isn't Wandao Academy afraid of eating up all the resources by doing this?
What exactly is the Lord of Ten Thousand Daos planning?
It's impossible that he is really merciful and comes to save these demons from suffering, right?
The demons didn't believe that he had nothing to ask for, so they were always wary of him.

The same is true for the demon clan. The reason why the Great Sage Tongtian stood up was that he felt that he had great ambitions. What he did now was just to win people's hearts for the time being. If they were to trust and join in, they would have to pay a thousand times the price in the future.

but……

What if you don’t believe it?

The Monkey King has been defeated!

Nangong Yudie, the King of All Demons, has also surrendered!

With their strongest fighting force like this, can they still resist?

"That's it, that's all!"

"Now that things have come to this, what else can we do?"

"Those who should leave should leave, and those who should stay should stay!"

"Wipe your butts clean, don't let anyone catch you!"

"No matter what his plan is, we should be patient and wait for the situation to change..."
