Chapter 765: Detailed Discussion on the City Wall
Marquis Shentu sincerely appreciated it, and Shu Han couldn't help but ask questions.
"Fellow Daoist Shen knew that he would run out of oil and his treasure would be taken away, but he still dared to go forward and save the demon from water and fire. This magnanimity really makes me admire him. But did you, Daoist Shen, ever think that if the person watching by the sidelines is not me? What should Feng Zelu and other gangsters who are coveting and trying to take advantage of him do?"
Marquis Shentu stopped, walked around the city, and finally said with a smile.
"I shouldn't tell anyone about this, but I'd better tell my Taoist friends the truth. Ever since I, Lord Shentu, took control of Mu Yunling, they all deceived me, Lord Shentu, because my cultivation level was insufficient. Who among the Tianhuang Nascent Soul cultivators didn't have the intention to seize the treasure? I also See clearly and clearly, and naturally have a backup plan.”
"Over the years, I have understood Mu Yunling's psychic treasure more and more deeply. I have accumulated reserve mana in this treasure day by day. When my fighting skills are exhausted and I have no way to continue, I only need to With a thought, the reserve magic power hidden in Mu Yun Ling will temporarily unleash her power and lead me away from any desperate situation. Therefore, I am not afraid of treacherous people coveting me. This is why I dare to face it. The confidence of the four ninth-level monsters besieging the Demon Town Pass."
"Oh! There is also such a method!"
Shu Han was shocked, thinking that Marquis Shentu did have something up his sleeve.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Shen, I shouldn't mention such a confidential matter to you!"
Marquis Shentu said with a smile: "You can tell the whole story just by looking at one spot. Just from the righteous deeds you have done just now, you can prove that you are an upright person. I, Marquis Shentu, am not that kind of ungrateful person."
A few words with Marquis Shentu completely changed Shu Han's understanding of the individual.
Not an ungrateful person?
You, Marquis Shentu, have received Mo Wen's kindness from Zhiyu, his kindness from his teacher, and his kindness from giving up the spiritual treasure. Now you have to go through the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to draw a clear line with Mo Wen. Although he is not too ungrateful, he is not considered a loyal person either!
Shu Han rolled his eyes and asked, "Actually, I have heard of Fellow Daoist Shen a long time ago, and I just pretended not to know him."
"oh?"
Marquis Shentu became interested and said, "Why is this, fellow Taoist?"
Shu Han replied: "I have been traveling to Tianhuang for a while, and I have made friends with many Nascent Soul monks from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. They have all mentioned Fellow Daoist Shen, but their reputation for Fellow Daoist Shen is not good, and even quite negative. Complain."
Hearing this, Marquis Shentu laughed in a low voice: "I wonder what complaints those people made."
Shu Han said bluntly: "It is said that Hou Shentu is not high in cultivation, but he is arrogant and domineering with the help of the psychic treasure. He likes to show off his cruelty and fights. He has a disrespectful attitude towards the elders of the alliance and bullies the weak. Especially to one of the two elders. Mo Wen, everyone said that Mo Wen was the master of Shentu Hou. Shentu Hou was trained and promoted by Mo Wen, and he was lucky enough to get Mu Yun Ling. Originally, Mu Yun Ling should be returned to Mo Wen, but Shen Tu Hou took it for himself and abandoned it. Master, I am a brother to Mo Wen."
"It doesn't matter if you call me a brother or a brother, in recent years, Marquis Shentu's attitude towards Mo Wen has become worse and worse. He has a mentality of severing all ties and replacing them with others!"
After hearing this, Marquis Shentu fell silent for a long time and then smiled loudly.
"That's good. What they said is true. But what do they know about Brother Mo..."
Then Shentu Hou said: "They said that I, Shentu Hou, look down on them. That's right! I just can't stand those foresight and selfish Nascent Soul monks! How many monks under the Loose Cultivator Alliance not only have to resist the invasion of monsters, but also We must also do our best to support these Yuanying monks. When things happen, these Yuanying monks blame each other and enjoy themselves. How can they have any attitude of protecting the human race? "
Marquis Shentu was filled with indignation and said: "The Rogue Cultivator Alliance was established with the slogan of revitalizing the Tianhuang human race. I know that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was actually established for the convenience of those Nascent Soul monks to pick up the treasures of the Changle Infinite Palace. However, we cannot take the human race under our command too seriously. Monk is a child’s play!”
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look at today's Demon Suppression Pass!"
Marquis Shentu sighed: "Originally, the crisis at the Demon Suppressing Pass could be resolved safely, but forget it... let's not talk about it..."
Shu Han naturally knew what he meant.
"Young Daoist Shen really has a heart for the human race."
Shentuhou laughed and said: "You know, fellow Taoist, when I face a powerful monster enemy, I have my trump card to protect myself. But it is best not to use my trump card forever. If I abandon the Demon Suppression Pass and ignore it, I will There is no risk of showing your trump card, and there will be no other losses. But why should I, Lord Shentu, step forward?"
Shu Han said: "That's true."
"That's because, once upon a time, I, Marquis Shentu, was also an unknown soldier on the human border."
"Oh! Fellow Taoist, do you still have such past events?"
Marquis Shentu nodded: "Back then, when I was still in the elixir formation stage, I was a human soldier guarding another great human pass - Tianci Pass. The human border pass was so dangerous, and I was used to seeing monsters when I was stationed at the border pass. Devouring the human race, he is used to his brothers, relatives and friends never returning.
"I still remember that Tianci Pass, like today's Demon Suppression Pass, was attacked by monsters, besieged by a tide of beasts, had no reinforcements at the back, and struggled with trapped beasts! I fought bloody battles with my brothers in Guanzhong, relying on a solid formation Wen fought back wave after wave of monsters and held on day after day. I thought that the alliance would eventually send troops to support us, but we waited and waited, and the brothers around us died one after another, but no reinforcements arrived. The despair of the soldiers at Zhenyao Pass is exactly what I, the Marquis Shentu, felt back then!”
"I was lucky enough to survive the Tianci Pass, break through in battle, and retreat from the enemy during the breakthrough. Fellow Taoist Feng, please look at the battle flag on the tower of Zhenyao Pass. I fought until I could no longer support myself, and I was afraid that I would be timid, so I tied myself to the battle flag and had no way to escape! After recovering a little bit of my magic power, I rushed to help the city defense formation. I fainted due to the exhaustion of my magic power, fainted again, and fainted again. Finally, I survived until the demon clan retreated. "
"After the war, I was recognized by Mo Wen because of my bravery in battle and good talent. I became his disciple. After that, I got lucky and made great progress all the way to where I am now. However, no matter how high my cultivation level is, I can't The battle at Tianci Pass is unforgettable.”
Pointing at the corpses lying on the ground, Marquis Shentu said in a sonorous tone: "Seeing this scene now, how can I, Marquis Shentu, not help? If I don't help, how can I, Marquis Shentu, be worthy of my brothers who died in the battle at Tianci Pass? This is The reason why I, Marquis Shentu, took action to rescue Zhenyao Pass today is that it’s a pity that so many soldiers died.”
Shu Han listened to the angry words of Marquis Shentu and sighed: "This situation is not because you were slow to come to help, but because the entire loose cultivator alliance was not built to protect the stability of the human race! Use such an alliance to organize Tianhuang How can we not repeat such tragedies when humans fight against monsters?”
