Chapter 582: Eliminating Demons and Defending the Dao, Emei Sweeps the World Clean

Upon hearing these words from Master Xinru, Tuo Tan felt a chill in his heart; he never forgot that he was the true "Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon."

Originally, this was meant to be his own one-man show: on one hand, releasing those gods and demons to act as monsters infected by demonic qi, and on the other, pretending to be a righteous expert to frame that Daoist Qian.

With the overall situation under his control and supplemented by a few minor tricks, it would not be difficult to make these righteous practitioners believe that Daoist Qian was the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon manipulates the human heart like a breeze silently transforming things; often, before one even realizes it, deep prejudices have already taken root...

But the sudden appearance of a real Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had disrupted his plans. Originally, all the actors were his own people, which gave Tuo Tan the confidence to direct this play. Seven days would have been enough for him to lay the groundwork layer by layer, ensuring that after seven days, Daoist Qian would have no way to defend himself!

Now, the sudden demonic tide had caught him off guard, and in his previous words, he had inadvertently revealed many flaws.

Tuo Tan did not know if these righteous practitioners had become suspicious. Once the demonic tide manifested in a way that differed from what he had described, it was hard to say whether these people would doubt him.

Consequently, he had to be careful in his response.

Tuo Tan made a plan in his heart, but his expression remained detached and otherworldly: "Neither I nor that Spirit Pearl and Heavenly Demon are from this realm, nor are we True Immortals from the Spirit Void Immortal Realm. This time, it is a misunderstanding by Fellow Daoist Jin Chan!"

"That Spirit Pearl, carrying the Heavenly Demon, broke into the realm where I reside. It was only through the combined efforts of many fellow daoists that we managed to repel it. At that time, this demon had not yet manifested such strange demonic qi, so our understanding of that Heavenly Demon is also very limited!"

"When the Heavenly Demon carried the Spirit Pearl and fled by breaking through the realm, I, as the leader of the immortals in my realm, worried that it would always be a scourge, so I used the Great Expansion Sword Art of the Grand Void to pursue it with the help of the Spirit Pearl's spiritual light! Who would have thought that the realm beyond the heavens is truly mysterious and unfathomable? Neither I nor the Heavenly Demon could handle it, and it was only by relying on the protection of the Spirit Pearl that we were able to descend into this realm!"

"That demon's supernatural powers are strange, and it fled with the Spirit Pearl while I had not yet recovered. I hurriedly adjusted my breathing for a day to recover some magic power, then encountered the immortals of this realm. Sensing that the demon was recovering in the shadows and fearing it would create more slaughter, I hurriedly notified the righteous experts of this realm!" Tuo Tan raised his hands slightly and bowed to everyone in all directions, keeping his posture extremely low.

One does not strike a smiling face, and this caused Master Xinru to extinguish her aggressive momentum.

"So it turns out you are fellow daoists from other worlds..."

True Person Jin Chan did not pursue the previous "misunderstanding" and just said calmly: "The demonic qi split off by that demon infects all living things and is extremely strange. Although we can dispel it by using a little magic power! And we have Heart-Clearing Pills, Evil-Dispelling Talismans, and the like to protect our disciples from being infected by the demons, the Western Kunlun Realm has too many fierce birds and strange beasts. They have low intelligence and do not understand the path of cultivation; once slightly infected by demonic qi, they become extremely ferocious!"

"If that demon gathers them into groups to attack the mountain gates of various sects, it will be a catastrophe!"

Master Xinru did not agree: "Although that demonic qi is mysterious, it ultimately only infects fierce birds and strange beasts with low intelligence. We can bless them with Buddhist Dharma to protect our disciples from being infected by the demonic qi, and then order them to track the world to find the location of that extraterrestrial demon. Then we can ask the experts of various sects to take action and subdue this demon! Before that, the experts of various sects should protect the mortals so they do not suffer disaster!"

"There is no need for Buddhist Dharma blessings!" True Person Jiang Taixu of Qingcheng said indifferently: "Our sect has its own methods to protect disciples and subdue external demons. I have already asked two Supreme Ancestors to take action and draw three thousand God-Suppressing Purity Talismans, preparing to pass them on to all disciples to help them guard their original hearts! The disciples who were forced into the demonic path previously have already been fully cured!"

"As expected, they are still stupid and arrogant righteous people. It seems the demonic path in this realm is truly not prosperous. If it were in my realm, such pure and naive righteous people would have died eight or ten times before reaching this realm!"

Tuo Tan could not help but shake his head secretly and reminded them: "Fellow daoists, do not be careless. That demonic qi is easy to dispel, which is likely the demon's scheme to paralyze us!"

"Given the essence of this demon's demonic nature, the more living beings the demonic qi infects, the stronger its cultivation will likely become. If it is allowed to infect millions of living beings, under the blessing of such endless demonic qi, I fear no one will be able to control its supernatural powers and magic power... By then, wanting to eradicate it will be difficult!"

True Person Jin Chan's expression suddenly became solemn: "Oh? There is such a thing!"

Tuo Tan nodded slightly and said sternly: "Once the infected living beings are dispelled of demonic qi, or are killed by your disciples, the demonic qi seems to dissipate, but in reality, a bit of its essence has returned to the demon, turning into its magic power and cultivation. The more widely the demonic qi infects, the higher its cultivation becomes; the more infected living beings we kill, the stronger its magic power becomes."

Master Xinru frowned slightly, her face covered in a layer of killing intent, and she said solemnly: "But if we leave those living beings infected by demonic qi alone, the demonic qi will only spread wider!"

"We can use magic treasures to collect them and suppress them!"

True Person Jin Chan said sternly: "Our Emei has the Demon-Locking Tower left by our ancestors. Everyone can use their magic treasures to collect those infected living beings and suppress them in the tower. Wait until that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is executed, then find a way to restore them. In this way, we won't create too much slaughter!"

At this moment, Tuo Tan looked at the slightly solemn atmosphere of the crowd, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart!

"These stupid righteous people finally take it seriously! As a dignified Heavenly Demon, I actually have to remind you to be careful of the demonic path; you are truly a bunch of trash! In this way, strangling that Daoist Qian and seizing the Dao Dust Pearl should go smoothly. Should I give them a vicious sneak attack before I leave?"

He pondered slightly and felt that although setting one or two foreshadowings was fine, the key was still the Supreme Dao Dust Pearl on Qian Chen, so he reminded everyone at the right time: "Fellow daoists, do not panic! Before, when I was pursuing this demon, I locked its fate with the Great Expansion Sword Art of the Grand Void!"

"Now, although it is using the Extraterrestrial Spirit Pearl to cover its own heavenly secrets, with the help of you fellow daoists to suppress those demons, I will concentrate on calculating, and in six days, I will be able to determine the location of its true body!"

Master Xinru said excitedly: "Is what you say true, Fellow Daoist?"

True Person Jin Chan slightly relaxed her aggressive momentum and said: "This is wonderful. Then in six days, we will await your good news, Fellow Daoist!"

Tuo Tan naturally agreed, but his eyes turned to the few high-level players like Huangchao Junlin around him, and he suddenly said: "Fellow Sect Masters and Daoists, within these six days, we cannot let the demonic qi infection spread!"

"I see that many cultivators here have restless minds and are only interested in profit; it is inevitable that they will go astray. We should guide them well!"

This demon Tuo Tan had actually figured out a part of the chaotic nature of the players in just one day!

The few Sect Masters all felt that these words made sense, looked at each other, and began to discuss how to restrain their disciples...

…………

"In the sect missions, there are more missions to clean up disciples who betrayed the sect!" Xin You Bu She glanced at the noise on the guild channel, frowning slightly.

"Once killed, all sect Daoist arts will be reclaimed! Except for those who have passed the graduation mission!"

Yue Linglong also frowned and whispered: "Now, only those small sects of the side paths have disciples who have graduated."

"Those of us who have joined major sects have almost no hope before passing the third heavenly tribulation? In that case, we cannot join the demonic path faction. Xin You Bu She! I remember your Emei graduation mission is to pass the Left Origin Thirteen Limits and the Right Origin Fire House, right!"

Xin You Bu She nodded and said: "The Right Origin Fire House is basically passed by Emei true disciples! But the Left Origin Thirteen Limits is a level 200 sect dungeon. I have reached the seventh limit! However, the graduation mission is the combination of the Left Origin and Right Origin, which is very likely a formation space opened by the sect-protecting magic treasure, Cuiwei Peak! If you are not level 300, you can't even touch the edge!"

Thinking of the benefits and difficulty of the Emei sect dungeon, Xin You Bu She could not help but feel a lingering fear amidst his satisfaction.

The reason why their Emei disciples' equipment levels are unique compared to the side-path loose cultivators is because of this sect dungeon...

No matter how good the demonic path is, what demon transformation, what attribute blessing, can it compare to the long-term benefits of the Emei sect dungeon? It's just those bottom-tier players joining in the fun; top-tier players like them have always had to cultivate their own factions deeply.

Changing factions for this little benefit and losing the advantages accumulated over several versions, or even several generations of accounts, would be a huge joke!

"In this version, the rise of the demonic path is just to create a major storyline of righteousness versus evil, and to find an enemy for us!" Huangchao Junlin also analyzed it seriously.

"I estimate that bottom-tier players might be able to gain some benefits in the early stage by changing factions, but the true top-tier missions and rewards will ultimately fall into the camp of the major righteous sects! Not to mention anything else, the famous ninth and tenth-tier magic treasures in Western Kunlun are all in the righteous path. Even if the demonic path wants to offer rewards, I fear there aren't many good things!"

"The Five Directions Demon Sect currently shows no signs of merging with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon faction... The top-tier magic treasures of the demonic path will only fall into the hands of top-tier players of the side-path demonic path."

Qinglong Yanyue Zhan Wudao said coldly a few words: "We have struggled for so long to stand here! They want to catch up by relying on the advantage of one version..."

"Then what game are we playing, what profession are we fighting!"

Yue Linglong was amused by his words, covered her mouth and said: "We can't be too careless! Not to mention anything else, the side-path demonic path's Xiuyue, Huru Bushi Hulu, Xuexi Tianxia, and others might be able to catch up by relying on this new version!"

"Major guilds like Zhushan Qianying Sect and Bailan Mountain GT Group have always been rooted in the side-path demonic path. This time, their power will also expand greatly. This is no small trouble!"

"The stronger the demonic path faction is in the early stage, the greater the pressure on the NPC side, and the more likely the righteous path NPCs will turn to cultivate us in the later stage!"

Huangchao Junlin said indifferently: "Among the new generation of the righteous path, only the Emei junior NPCs are worth looking at. The new generation of other sects has long been surrounded by players! And Qianying Sect, SGT, and we are in differentiated competition; we may not necessarily be enemies! Maybe we can even cooperate!"

Xin You Bu She's eyes lit up and said: "Send our Emei junior NPCs to them, and let them exchange them for those big bosses of the Five Directions Demon Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, all the professional players were slightly shocked. You, Xin You Bu She, look quite sunny, why are you so dark inside?

However, these words are really tempting! ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
