Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

We set off again, and this time the speed was much faster than before.

After all, with this identity, although Jiang Yue always feels a little strange, the title of Son of God can still allow him to have a smooth journey.

If you come across the Xuntian Sect’s sphere of influence on the road, there is no need to hide your identity as before, you can just pass through safely.

"We are traveling a thousand miles a day. We are still about five or six days away from the northern part of Lizhou..."

Thinking back to the map recorded in his mind, Jiang Yue couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of Lizhou.

The area of ​​a state is more than ten thousand miles, but they came from the east, so they don’t need to cross the entire Lizhou when going north, they only need to walk half the distance.

There are dozens of such prefectures within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is hard to imagine how profound the foundation of such a huge country is.

Only in a world with extraordinary power can such a dynasty exist. It has stood for thousands of years and its territory spans millions of miles. Although it has gradually declined, it is still alive and well. Who knows whether its fate has really come to an end?

Of course, Jiang Yue didn’t care much about whether the lifeblood of the Great Zhou could continue.

If any force comes to power, the world will become more stable, which would be a good thing.

"But if they really raise the banner of rebellion, various rebel kings will fight for supremacy, wars will rage, and the people will never be able to live in peace."

"So, I won't explicitly choose which side I want to join, otherwise I'll probably end up being forced to do something against my will."

The road ahead is uncertain, but Jiang Yue is already prepared.

It is said that the upper thirty-six states have long been in chaos, with various forces and the royal family constantly fighting. In comparison, the order in Yunzhou is simply incredible, and the control of the Sky Patrol Department is still sufficient.

Even in Lizhou, although there was chaos caused by the Wu Sheng Mu Sect, it did not harm the people in the end. Jiang Yue had no good feelings towards it, but he had to say that perhaps this method could benefit the people.

Just like the Tianfeng City Festival, with demon blood and faith as offerings, the Mother Goddess bestowed blessings and gained the people's wishes. Although it was also for profit, it did get rid of the demon disaster after all.

However, Jiang Yue did not agree with the arrival of the holy fetus.

In the eyes of the followers of the Mother Church, sacrificing just one person to allow the Son of God to be born is absolutely worth it.

Can--

If she was really a saint, why would she let innocent people sacrifice themselves?

Even if there is only one person.

Although the matter was resolved safely under Jiang Yue's method, he ultimately did not agree with his philosophy.

However, all the participants have died, leaving only...

Jiang Yue looked up at the sky, recalling the terrifying and vast aura.

I don't know if He will hate me for this.

After all, he is not the newborn Holy Son, he can only be regarded as a person whose destiny has been seized.

It's easy to fool his followers, but I wonder if that being will have any objections to this...

"With the divine seal, I don't have to worry about Him attacking me directly, otherwise I would have been dead by then."

"But it's hard to say whether there are other means..."

Putting aside his thoughts, Jiang Yue looked ahead, as if he had some feelings.

Now that it was getting late, they had already rested on the spot and set up tents with thick cloth.

According to his past habits, Jiang Yue should have been curled up in the tent, listening to Cangdie singing with his eyes closed.

After all, traveling is boring, and listening to music can not only relieve fatigue, but also save time without paying anything. Why not do it?

But at this moment, he didn't have this thought.

According to the instructions on the Crow Group map, there should be a small town not far away, built by the water, with a population of about a few thousand.

But Xiaotian sniffed around and didn't seem to find anything valuable. Instead, he became a little alert.

"You mean, there's something in town?"

Jiang Yue gently stroked the dog's head to calm its uneasy expression, and after getting a positive answer, he immediately decided to go and check it out.

From what Xiaotian said, it seems that there is no treasure ahead, but perhaps a monster has been found.

But it doesn't make any difference.

The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight fell on the country dirt road. Jiang Yue strolled forward and walked into the town along the dirt road.

However, there were no lights in the stone houses on both sides, and there seemed to be rapid breathing sounds coming from inside. It seemed that they had discovered Jiang Yue's presence and seemed to be a little alert.

Jiang Yue could sense that these people were terrified, and he didn't know whether they were afraid of him or...

Fear of something that might exist.

"Just as it says, there are people living here, but it seems a bit deserted..."

"This place should also be under the jurisdiction of the Patrol Heaven Sect. We will find out after asking the little flag."

Jiang Yue strode forward, not caring at all about the strange scene before him.

When he arrived in front of an old house, he just raised his hand and the door opened slightly, as if it had been prepared.

"Shh... don't talk, come in quickly!"

A crisp sound came from inside the door. Jiang Yue felt as if someone was pulling at the corner of his clothes, and he quickly followed the direction and went in.

When he knocked on the door just now, he did not choose a house at random. Instead, according to his telepathic perception, everyone else was filled with fear, but the person in this house had other emotions as well.

After entering the house, although there was no candlelight, Jiang Yue could see clearly by the moonlight that there was a young girl in front of him. She was wearing plain clothes and was looking at him curiously.

"Shh..."

The girl made a gesture to keep quiet, signaling Jiang Yue not to speak, and looked a little nervous.

After thinking for a while, she tiptoed to the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote something quickly.

Jiang Yue stood at the door and glanced at the furnishings in the stone house. The furniture including tables, chairs and beds was complete. Although it was a bit old, it seemed that this was still a wealthy home.

"Don't light candles or speak loudly at night!"

The girl held the paper and motioned Jiang Yue to look at the contents. After Jiang Yue nodded, she began to write quickly again.

"Are you from outside?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yue used his hand as a pen, dipped it in ink and quickly finished writing on the paper.

"No wonder you don't know the rules here... Remember, you must not make any noise, otherwise..."

"Tomorrow, you can go forward along the main road. Don't look back. If you can escape, remember to inform the Sky Patrol."

The girl pointed at the words on the paper with a serious expression, as if there would be serious consequences if the rules were not followed.

"What's going on here?"

After Jiang Yue asked again, she continued to write: "This town is called Qingmu Town. It was peaceful not long ago, but..."

"I don't know when it started, but I often hear screams at night, but everything is normal during the day. I work at sunrise and rest at sunset. I don't know what's wrong."

"No one knows what happened at night, but those empty rooms should have been occupied..."

"The strange thing is that no one remembers the specific appearance of those people, as if they never existed."

Seeing this, Jiang Yue frowned and looked at the layout of the room inside the house.

According to this layout, there should be more than one person living in this house.

Feeling the girl's emotional fluctuations, he could be sure that what she said was true.

only…

"There have been some visitors here, but for some reason, no one has come to eliminate the troubles here for a long time, as if... no one cares." "If you are lucky enough to get out, I hope you can tell the outside world about what happened here."

There were a few more lines of small words on the paper. Jiang Yue nodded slightly after reading them, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

Seeing Jiang Yue's gaze, the girl blushed and seemed a little shy. After all, allowing someone else into the room, especially a young and strong man, was a bit...

"It seems that the evil spirits here are very good at disguising themselves."

This time, Jiang Yue did not write on paper, but spoke slowly.

"Don't make any noise."

The girl looked a little frightened, her face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly tried to stop Jiang Yue.

"I was a little curious when I first walked into this room."

"Why are others afraid, but you are not? Aren't you afraid that I am the evil one and will devour you?"

"Let's take a step back and say that I'm not evil, but just a passerby, and you just saved me out of kindness..."

"But why do I feel like you are excited?"

Jiang Yue had already summoned the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, and his eyes lit up between his eyebrows.

Do not light candles or speak loudly.

Is this a rule, or...

Is this what the evil spirits are afraid of?

The girl was terrified and shook her head desperately, as if something bad would definitely happen if this continued, and she hurriedly tried to stop Jiang Yue.

"Evil beast, show your true form now!"

A voice resounded throughout the entire town like a huge bell. Jiang Yue used up some of his energy in this roar, which directly caused the table in the house to tremble.

"you you…"

The girl's face seemed to melt in an instant, and it quickly twisted, with the skin sliding to the sides, revealing her true appearance.

It had a hideous face, thick limbs, and was crawling on the ground. Jiang Yue immediately recognized that it was a mandrill.

Mandrills often appear in deep mountains and forests. They are swift in movement and have excellent hearing. But for some reason, this one did not rule the mountain as the king, but instead found a small town.

"Why..."

"Why can you find it even if it is hidden here!"

"I live between heaven and earth, but I can't even have a place to stay?"

The mandrill was furious and ferocious, and its already distorted facial features now looked even more terrifying, especially its face that resembled a human but was not human, which made the scene even more weird.

The mandrill's hearing is so acute that it can detect even the slightest movement, but because of this, it is extremely afraid of loud noises. Jiang Yue's roar just now had already dealt it a heavy blow.

"A place to stay..."

"Your so-called shelter means occupying the house that others have worked so hard to build, killing their parents, and turning into their body?"

Jiang Yue snorted coldly and attacked suddenly with the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand.

The mandrill suddenly showed fear on its face, and stretched out its arms to block the attack. With its strength in the sixth realm, it would be difficult for it to...

brush!
Both of his arms were covered with cracks like shattered porcelain. Although they were not cut off on the spot, they were almost out of control and could not be lifted at all.

Fortunately, the mandrill still had its two feet, and it moved very quickly. It was about to break through the door and escape, but a dog pounced on it and pinned it to the ground.

His eardrums were severely damaged and his arms lost strength. Although the mandrill's body was stronger than Xiaotian's, he was caught off guard and was still bitten tightly, making it difficult to break free.

"If there were no place to live in the mountains, why would I attack the villages and towns?"

"This town is located in the mountains and forests, but I have never thought about it before. Even the passers-by, I have never swallowed them up!"

"But when you killed the monsters, did you ever consider whether they were guilty or not? The reason you killed monsters and took their blood was just for the purpose of offering sacrifices!"

"We are all living in the world, so why can't we have a place to live?"

The mandrill felt pain and kept struggling and roaring, trying to break free from Xiaotian's tearing.

Faced with his continuous questions, Jiang Yue remained silent and just drew his sword.

【Time + 400 years】

The time that the Sixth Realm Great Demon can bring to him now is still quite abundant. Four hundred years of added time can also bring some improvement.

Jiang Yue did not give any answer to what he said.

What the mandrill said was true. It lived deep in the mountains and forests and had never harmed anyone.

What brought changes to its life was the constant demon-slaying operations carried out by the Xuntian Sect for sacrifice.

One after another, the big monsters were chopped off, their skin and flesh were peeled off, and their blood was taken, and they were slaughtered like pigs and dogs.

In this process, their crimes were never tried.

Therefore, the extremely terrified mandrill had no choice but to hide in this town. If Jiang Yue had not seen through it tonight, he would probably just let him leave and continue to hide.

But if that happens, the remaining residents of the town will live in fear every day.

So what if they are from the Xuntian Sect?

With his strength at the sixth realm and not having done any great evil, it would be extremely difficult for him to be discovered as long as he wanted to hide.

"We all live in this world, but no one is more noble than the other, and no one is born to be the master of this world."

"only…"

Looking at the corpse of the mandrill in front of him, Jiang Yue sighed softly: "But, since I have met you and you have committed a crime, I must kill you."

With the divine eye in his possession, Jiang Yue was sure that he would not kill anyone by mistake, but the Xuntian Sect did not care about that.

As long as it is a transformed demon, you can kill it, offer blood as a sacrifice, and get the blessing of the Mother Goddess...

Jiang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with this behavior.

All I can say is that the pros outweigh the cons.

The Xuntian Sect is not able to control everything, so where does it get the means to identify demons? There is only one attitude towards demons, which is to kill them, and there is nothing wrong with that.

As for the mandrill, all we can say is that if Jiang Yue met it before it committed evil deeds, he would not take its life, just like the old white ape who is now staying in the Black Mountain.

Since monsters are transformed from spiritual creatures, their intelligence is essentially similar to that of humans, but they are of different races.

Those who do evil should be punished, but the rest cannot be generalized.

This is Jiang Yue’s opinion.

All along, he has only acted according to his heart, and he may have made mistakes, but...

Just let the thoughts flow.

"The mandrill is dead. There is no danger here anymore. You don't have to be afraid in the future!"

Another voice spread throughout the town, but many people in the stone houses still did not dare to make a sound. They just looked in the direction of the voice with some curiosity.

Jiang Yue didn't say much when he saw this. After all, these people had spent many nights in fear. How could he dare to test them easily now? After some time, they would slowly find out that he was telling the truth.

Dragging the corpse of the mandrill, Jiang Yue quickly returned to the tent with complicated thoughts.

It was not until he heard Cangdie's voice and the melodious opera music that he finally fell asleep peacefully.
