The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

All good things must come to an end.

Now, it was time to end the banquet. Even though Lei Haotian kept saying "I have something important to do," he still chatted with Xiao Qi until late at night.

At night, the temperature in the desert drops sharply. Considering that Xiaoqi is over fifty years old and not as strong as when he was young, and as long as Xiaoqi does not take a rest, the whole family will sit beside him silently to accompany him.

Lei Haotian didn't want his elderly friend to catch a cold, so he took the initiative to speak, saying that it was getting late and he should leave.

"Leaving now?"

Xiao Qi still looked very energetic, and said with a hint of lingering interest: "I still want to tell you the story of how I met the old man... Well, I'll see you off!"

"Mom," the eldest brother said with some concern, "It's already very late. Please don't force Uncle Lei to chat any more. Go to bed as soon as possible."

"And Uncle Lei has already said that he has important matters to attend to. Why won't you listen to his advice?"

"Why, your Uncle Lei didn't say anything."

Xiao Qi scolded him with a stern face, "You little brat, you have no respect for your parents, and you dare to criticize me?!"

"I feel sorry for you..."

"Okay, that's it."

Lei Haotian hesitated for a moment and said, "How about Xiaoqi, you can give me a ride? I also have something I want to tell you. Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

"My mother is old, so it's inevitable that she's a bit nagging."

The eldest brother never dared to slack off and said respectfully, "Uncle Lei, please don't be offended."

"It's okay." Lei Haotian waved his hand.

Seeing that the little girl Susu was still awake and was sitting in her mother's arms, looking at him with her big, crystal-clear eyes, Lei Haotian couldn't help but laugh:

"Susu, come along too."

Except for Susu's elder brother, everyone else had a vague sense that Yulan was a woman from a married family, so even if she was reluctant in her heart, she chose to remain silent at this moment.

The eldest and the second in command looked at each other and were about to kneel down and kowtow, but were stopped by Lei Haotian.

Xiaoqi saw all of this, but even though she knew everything, she just smiled and said nothing.

Just like that, Yulan took out two cotton-padded jackets from the house and put them on Xiaoqi and Susu. Crystal tears flashed in the corners of her eyes. After watching the three of them walk out of the restaurant, she turned around and threw herself into the boss's arms, crying bitterly.

"Susu is still so young, she even needs me to feed her. What will I do in the future if she is gone?"

"Sister-in-law, if Su Su is chosen by Uncle Lei, it will be a blessing that our family has cultivated for several lifetimes!"

"What the hell? My little sister is going to be a child husband at such a young age? I don't agree!"

"Stop talking...Yulan, my second brother is right. You're too sad. I can't bear to leave Susu either."

The facts are just as these people expected.

After Lei Haotian walked a distance away, the first sentence he said was: If Xiaoqi is willing, he can take Susu back to Mingshen Sect and teach her personally!

And promised...

There are two opportunities to go home and visit relatives every year!

This was the promise made personally by Lei Zun, the Holy Son of Mingzong, a person of great supernatural powers who ascended to the other side and a top genius who could be ranked among the top ten in the Golden Age.

Such an opportunity, let alone in eight lifetimes, cannot be found even once in the entire five realms in 20,000 years!

Lei Haotian never makes promises lightly, because as long as he makes a promise, he will definitely do it!

"It's no use asking."

Xiao Qi gently stroked Su Su's hair, eyes full of doting, "The one you should ask is Su Su."

"If Su Su is willing to go back with you, I would be more than happy to do so and would never stop her!"

"on the contrary......"

"Little Mouse, I had no choice in the past, but my granddaughter, you can't follow in my footsteps."

"I understand." Lei Haotian nodded.

But just as he was about to ask Susu's opinion, his eyes involuntarily fell on the scar on Xiaoqi's face. From this, he could see the reluctance to part with his granddaughter in Xiaoqi's eyes.

Lei Haotian pondered for a moment, and soon came up with an idea. He smiled and said, "Susu, do you want to stay with grandma and continue to accompany her, or do you want to experience a boring life without seeing her all day long?"

"Ah! No!"

Upon hearing this, Su Su hugged Xiao Qi and said firmly, "I want Grandma to be with me all the time!"

"Haozi, thank you so much. You could have just refused directly, but you still asked twice."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Lei Haotian suddenly burst into laughter, feeling extremely happy. He smiled and took off the Holy Son token from his waist, then handed it to Su Su, saying, "If you want to come and see Grandpa Lei in the future, Grandpa will be waiting for you anytime."

"Mouse, this...this, you can't do that!"

Xiao Qi recognized the token that symbolized the identity of the Holy Son of Mingshen Sect, and his expression changed immediately. "Susu, this token is very important to Grandpa Lei, return it to Grandpa Lei quickly!"

"Huh?" Su Su didn't understand the pros and cons and quickly handed over the token: "Grandpa Lei, this thing is too valuable, I can't take it! Otherwise... Grandma will be angry."

Lei Haotian smiled and shook his head.

He stretched out his hand and gently rolled up Susu's palm, allowing her to hold the token firmly.

"This token did have profound meaning to me in the past, but now, Xiaoqi..."

"I don't need to prove it anymore!"

"I promised you that I would defeat all the opponents in the sect and seize the position of the Holy Son... Now, I have done it, and this is my explanation to you."

"Mouse, you..."

Xiao Qi looked at Lei Haotian, who was full of energy, in a daze. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I, Lei Haotian, keep my word. Whatever it was before, it will be the same in the future!"

Lei Haotian turned around and strode forward.

"I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself in the future."

"Rat!!!"

Xiaoqi suddenly shouted.

Lei Haotian paused and looked back.

"Will you...come back to visit me?"

Xiao Qi said expectantly with tears in her eyes.

"Do you want me to come back?"

Lei Haotian asked back.

You said you had no choice in the past, well, today, I will give you the choice!

Looking at Lei Haotian who was waiting for her response, in stark contrast to the time when he left in anger 25 years ago, Xiao Qi stammered, and a gleam seemed to flash in her weathered eyes. But in the end, she smiled and shook her head under Lei Haotian's calm gaze.

"can."

Lei Haotian turned his gaze back to Xiao Qi.

"I, Lei Haotian, mean what I say!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no sudden thunder, nor any movement, but Lei Haotian was no longer at the scene.

Xiao Qi squatted down, reached out and hugged Su Su tightly, who was confused. His body trembled and he sobbed silently.

I'm sorry, little mouse, I lied to you again. It's not that I don't want you to come and see me, I just don't want you to see me when I'm old.

That night, Blood Wolf, the leader of the Blood Wolf Village, went out to release water at night, and the scene in front of him suddenly lit up.

He tried to look closely. Amidst the exceptionally dazzling, yet silent, lightning, a handsome young man slowly walked out...

In just one night, all the desert bandits in this area were wiped out without a single one left behind!

······

In the snow town.

After following Mingzong's disciples to clear out monsters for several days, the situation was even worse than Lao Ba had imagined!

After a round of clearing, not only did it fail to produce any results, the number of monsters appearing increased dramatically every day!

There was no warning at all! There was no source to be found!

Its level of danger may not be as great as the sea monster that descended on Beixuan and killed people five years ago, but its level of weirdness is beyond the reach of any sea monster.

In other words, the appearance of the sirens is no accident.

He was teleported to the Five Realms when he was young and lay dormant among the human race.

But these monsters seemed to appear out of thin air.

Suddenly it appeared before the eyes of the world.

Only after killing it did I realize that the so-called monster was actually the most familiar person around me!

They all turned into demons at a certain moment, becoming monsters that were neither human nor ghost.

Some people were drinking and playing drinking games with red faces the moment before, and turned into ugly monsters the moment before. Some people have slept in the same bed for decades, but when they woke up, the person next to them was no longer there, replaced by a strange and hideous monster. If they woke it up, it would be another tragedy.

Some of the demonized people can still remain rational and shout "I am not a monster".

But the vast majority of them have become monsters driven only by their inner desires.

No taboos, do whatever you want...

Even a powerful sect like the Mingshen Sect discovered two demonic monsters inside...

"Roar--"

Clang, clang—

The monster covered with green scales roared and ripped the chains on its limbs. Everyone standing outside the cell and witnessing this scene had complicated expressions and felt very sad.

It is said that one of these two disciples was the one whose family exhausted all resources to help him break through, and only then was he able to barely reach the threshold for admission into the Mingshen Sect and be sent into the Mingshen Sect.

But after that, the family was targeted by enemies and was wiped out silently.

The other one had no family support and was born in a grassroots family, but he had extremely high comprehension. He could understand everything he heard at once and was spotted by an elder who was traveling outside and was brought back to Mingshen Sect.

Both of them are examples of hard work and are the last living members of their families.

Accompany each other and encourage each other...

But I didn't expect that they would both turn into demons...

Especially the latter one, who is not only hardworking, quick-witted and studious, but also possesses extraordinary comprehension. However, even such a fairy seedling still became a monster with a green face and fangs.

Even these two positive and optimistic brothers are like this...

Who will be next?

"Have you found anything at the pharmacy?"

Jing Cangshan turned around and looked at a female elder with frowned brows and asked.

“This is the first time I’ve encountered such a strange thing.

The female elder said with worry in her eyes, "We don't have any clues for the time being."

"ASAP."

Jing Cangshan walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving only his back to his disciples.

"If there's really no other way... send them to transcendence."

The female elder sighed and nodded.

There is really no other way, so this is the only option.

"Zhao Zhao, do you think this was done by the Black Demon Hall?"

"Is there any need to ask? They must have done it!"

At the back of the crowd, Xi Zhaozhao's face showed a trace of anger. "These bastards have caused so much harm to people. And there's also that ungrateful Kuang Langsheng, who's accomplices the evil and done all sorts of evil things!"

"You should have left him to fend for himself before!"

"Calm down. What happened has already happened. It's useless to be angry."

Hu Yanming looked up at Lao Ba, who was leaning on his chin and thinking, and asked, "Senior, what do you think about this matter? It seems... you are not from our place, right?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lao Ba's eyes.

I thought that Hu Yanming was usually so stupid, but he actually noticed this.

"My senior brother and I were both from the Great Desert. Later, we followed our sect to the Eastern Divine Region."

Xi Zhaozhao asked curiously, "I remember telling you all this, right?"

"Have it?"

Hu Yanming scratched his head and chuckled, "After spending so much time with Second Senior Sister, my brain is bound to be a little dull."

Lu Duoduo, who was eavesdropping on the side:...

Lao Ba shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing.

Even if I knew something...

Every member of the Mingshen Sect is a lunatic who is fearless!

Didn’t I tell you it’s not all over?

"It's been a few days, and such a big thing has happened..."

Xi Zhaozhao asked doubtfully, "Is Your Excellency Lei Zun still not distracted?"

"I guess he's addicted to suppressing bandits."

A small red flower swayed left and right and came to the group of people.

Lu Duoduo said thoughtfully, "I heard that you have dealt with monsters before. What do you think about this?"

"One word!"

Hu Yanming said seriously, "It's definitely related to the Black Demon Hall!"

"The key is that the Black Demon Hall is in the desert."

Lu Duoduo said, "This time we came to Snow Village to capture the demons from the Western Regions. We even mobilized the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, but they all fell to Senior Brother Haotian. The loss was extremely heavy!"

"Now that the demon has been recovered, there's no point in staying here any longer."

"You still expect the Black Demon Hall to reason with you?"

Hu Yanming snorted, "The Four Dark Demon Kings have come to Snow Village openly to intercept us. What else can't they do?"

"No, little brother, you have a bump on your head, right?"

Lu Duoduo raised an eyebrow. "Are you here to analyze the pros and cons of this matter, or to find fault? If you have an opinion, please point it out. If you have any questions, you can also bring them up for discussion."

She habitually pulled Hu Yanming's ear and said, "But if you get impatient and start nitpicking after I finish a sentence, I will really beat you half to death."

"...Who taught you to say such horrible words in such a calm tone?"

Hu Yanming was speechless.

This is no longer a negotiation, it is clearly a naked threat!

Lao Ba thought about it, turned around and walked away.

There is no doubt that the Dark Demon Hall must be behind these things, but how the Dark Demon Hall can turn people into demons without anyone noticing is unknown...

Perhaps the only way is to find the Black Magic Hall and interrogate them in person.

The truth will come out.

Or...

As long as the original source is eliminated, everything will return to normal.
