Finally, we arrived at the foot of Black Eagle Village and stopped.
"Sha Xuan, did you feel it?"
Yuan Xin asked the masked woman Sha Xuan.
"He should be on the mountain."
Sha Xuan raised her head and looked at the mountain.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain."
So everyone dismounted and began to climb the mountain.
Tan Qianyang took a deep look at Sha Xuan.
It's just that the other person is covered with a veil, so he can't see his face clearly.
Along the way, Sha Xuan is chasing the "goal".
As for what the goal is, Tan Qianyang naturally knows it very well.
Demon!
What they are pursuing all the way is the demon!
Tan Qianyang has learned from Qing Yuan Lao Dao that the four monsters of the Mirror Society he killed were not demons, but just demon slaves.
Demon slaves are just slaves of demons. Their bodies have been transformed by demons and they can temporarily use demon blood.
There is an essential difference from a demon!
And now, he is about to see the real demon!
As everyone went up the mountain, the smell of blood floated in the air.
Tan Qianyang frowned.
Yuan Xin's eyes also froze slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Maybe something happened, we have to hurry up."
Everyone quickly went up the mountain.
This is a bandit's village.
But, there are no bandits anymore.
Corpse!
Bodies all over the ground!
Judging by his attire, he must be a bandit from this village.
The air was filled with the disgusting rich smell of blood.
There are probably hundreds of people in this cottage.
It can be regarded as the largest mountain village within a radius of dozens of miles.
However, even in such a large village, there are countless corpses lying on the ground.
Moreover, looking at the degree of mutilation of the corpses, it looked as if they had been killed by some wild beast. The corpses were basically all mutilated, and none of them was complete.
Everyone quickly arrived at the main hall of the village.
"Shua".
When everyone came to the main hall, they saw two people.
A scholar, covered in blood, and his clothes were in tatters.
One is a young woman.
However, the young woman's eyes were full of fear. After seeing the crowd coming, she huddled in the corner, hugged her body tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Monster, don't eat me, monster..."
The young woman just kept repeating this sentence, obviously losing her mind.
When everyone came, the scholar didn't seem to notice. He just looked at his bloody hands with dull eyes, and kept repeating in a low voice: "I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, I don't want to kill, I don't want to...
"
Tan Qianyang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at the scholar.
Based on his senses, the scholar seemed to have little vitality, let alone a warrior.
But with the blood all over his body and his appearance at this moment, there is no doubt that the people in the village were all killed by the scholar.
There are hundreds of people in this village.
The only ones alive now are the scholar and the unconscious young woman.
"The scholar is a monster?"
Tan Qianyang suddenly asked.
"Shua".
The scholar seemed to have heard Tan Qianyang's words. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes turned blood red, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "No, I am not a monster, I am not a monster..."
As the scholar roared at the top of his lungs, it seemed that a terrible power was about to burst out in his body.
"stop!"
"Tan Qianyang, I know what you want to ask, but now is not the time to ask these questions. Just watch quietly and stop irritating him."
"Sha Xuan, it's your turn."
Yuan Xin said decisively.
Sha Xuan took a step forward, she slowly lifted the veil, and finally revealed her true face.
This is a beautiful face.
His eyes were as gentle as water, and his whole body seemed to exude a pitiful temperament.
In terms of appearance, he is even better than Yuan Xin.
She is the most beautiful woman Tan Qianyang has ever seen besides Luo Bao.
Of course, Luo Bao is not a woman either.
Even Tan Qianyang couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart the moment he saw Sha Xuan's face.
"Li Lang."
Sha Xuan spoke.
"Shua".
The scholar raised his head.
When he saw Sha Xuan, the blood in his eyes seemed to fade a lot.
"You...Xuan'er?"
"How did you come?"
"No, you shouldn't come. I don't want you to see me like this. I don't want to. I really don't want to be like this..."
The scholar seemed to be in pain again. He kept patting his head with both hands, and even wanted to blow his head off.
A look of distress appeared on Sha Xuan's face, and she comforted: "Li Lang, I know this is not your fault. You didn't do it on purpose. I believe you."
"Now that I'm here, I believe you will be able to get back on your feet and overcome your beastly and demonic nature. I will always be with you!"
Sha Xuan's gentle words seemed to move the scholar's heart, and the violent aura around him also weakened a lot.
After seeing this scene, Tan Qianyang probably understood what was going on.
He remembered that Qingyuan Taoist once mentioned that if a demon has animal nature, it will transform into a beast and become a complete monster. If a demon has demon nature, it will be a demon.
However, if the demon had human nature, it would be a human being!
Previously, the Qingyuan Taoist had been unwilling to reveal how the Tiandao Alliance made demons humane.
Now Tan Qianyang understands a little bit.
"Hall Master Yuan..."
Tan Qianyang was about to ask, but Yuan Xin immediately interrupted: "I know what you want to ask. This person's name is Li Qiu, and his identity is half-demon. Half-demon means that there is demon blood in the body but also human blood."
"The demon blood in Li Qiu's body has not yet fully awakened. Once the demon blood awakens, Li Qiu will either transform into a demon or a beast into a beast. The other way is to let him maintain his humanity and use his humanity to overwhelm the demon and beast nature, thus becoming me. The protector of the Tiandao Alliance!"
Tan Qianyang stared at Sha Xuan and Li Qiu with gloomy eyes.
Li Qiu is very emotionally unstable now and may turn into a monster at any time.
Wouldn't Sha Xuan be dead by then?
"It turns out that the so-called goddess..."
Before Tan Qianyang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yuan Xin. She said coldly: "Each of the Heavenly Women in the Heavenly Women's Hall has their own mission. The purpose of their existence is to help the protectors of our Tiandao Alliance maintain their humanity. Suppress the demonic and bestial nature. They have made a huge sacrifice and deserve the respect of everyone!"
Yuan Xin herself was once a goddess.
It's a pity that she didn't complete the task and turned into a half-demon beast. This is the shame and pain of her life!
Tan Qianyang looked at Sha Xuan and then at Yuan Xin.
He understands.
The so-called "goddess" is actually a beauty trap.
He even guessed that there must be a "Celestial Man", and his counterpart should be a female half-demon.
Use the so-called love, family affection, etc. to help the half-demon suppress the demonic and animalistic nature, thus becoming the protector of the Tiandao Alliance.
The so-called "Dharma Protectors" in the Tiandao Alliance, even though they have the word "god", are actually demons in nature.
This method greatly disappointed Tan Qianyang.
He had previously thought that the Tiandao Alliance had a way to control demons and make them humane.
But now, he knows he was wrong.
He was wrong.
The Tiandao Alliance has no way of controlling demons at all.
They just used a honey trap to tie up the demon.
Whether it can be tied up or not depends entirely on the "demon's" mood.
"So, this is the Tiandao Alliance's method of controlling monsters?"
Tan Qianyang said.
Yuan Xin replied coldly: "Tan Qianyang, I know very well what you are thinking. You must despise me and other goddesses. Do you think you are using women to bind demons? This is just the view of secular people. What we and other goddesses did
Sacrifice, you will know how great it is later."
"As for the demon control you mentioned? Sorry, the relationship between our Tiandao Alliance and the Dharma Protector has never been about who controls whom. We have a cooperative relationship. We give them respect, and they give us help."
"Who in the world can control a demon?"
Tan Qianyang fell silent.
This is not the approach he wants.
This is not the path he wants to take.
Rely on women?
By sympathy?
Or rely on luck?
"Tan Qianyang, you don't know the terror of demons at all. Do you think you can deal with demons if you follow the path of the extreme?"
"I know exactly what you are thinking."
"You will understand in the future that only our Tiandao Alliance's method is the right way!"
Yuan Xin seems to have a feeling that everything is under control.
She seemed to feel that she had seen through all the thoughts in Tan Qianyang's heart.
Tan Qianyang wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by Yuan Xin.
There was indeed a ball of anger burning in his heart.
At this moment, no one noticed that the unconscious young woman in the hall had a strange look in her eyes, and her expression was slightly distorted.
"Whoosh".
The next moment, the young woman jumped out and took advantage of Li Qiu and Sha Xuan's unpreparedness to stab Li Qiu's neck with the dagger in her hand.
"Pfft".
Suddenly, the dagger pierced Li Qiu's neck, and a large amount of blood spurted out instantly.
