At night, Jinzhou was once again shrouded in silence.
From time to time, sounds of the night watchman’s reporting reached the streets.
Every household had their oil lamps lit, and the paper windows shone brightly, as if everyone was fearful of something.
However, the scene was quite picturesque, reminiscent of the “ten thousand families’ fireworks and lantern lights.”
But there was one exception: a completely dark house with no lamps lit, looking out of place among the rest of the homes.
The plaque on the door read, “Huai’s pawnshop.”
And a pair of deep eyes stared out through the window, watching all the movements around them.
Zhao Huai stood still by the bedroom window.
“Husband... aren’t you going to sleep?”
Inside the house, Yu Qinghan yawned listlessly, wearing a thin white dress and lying on the bed, her figure fully exposed. Seeing Zhao Huai still standing by the window, she couldn’t help but ask.
“You go ahead and sleep. I’m fine,” Zhao Huai said with a faint smile. Initiation Stage cultivators possess strong and robust spiritual power, allowing them to go a week without sleep.
For cultivators, sleep is essentially a time to restore spiritual power. With strong spiritual power, they naturally sleep less, and not sleeping is not an issue.
He stood there by the window tonight because, of course, of the divination’s results during the day.
Demons lurking in the city – what did that mean?
It showed that a large number of demons had malicious intentions towards Jinzhou. This was not good news. He had lived in Jinzhou for three years, and his base was here. More importantly, he had become accustomed to life here and the people he had met. They were far from being in a position to move away.
Tonight, he would set up a Dragon Gate formation and see who dared to come.
Seeing that his wife had gone to sleep but there were still no demons in sight, Zhao Huai didn’t worry. Instead, he sat down to cultivate and wait.
“Squeak!”
Suddenly, a scream came from the shop window, sounding a bit like a mouse.
It had arrived.
Zhao Huai slowly opened his eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Powerful thunder talismans had been placed on the windows of Huai’s pawnshop.
Any demon that dared to come would undoubtedly be blown to smithereens, unrecognizable even to their mother.
In an instant, the light of the [Demon-Seeing Eye] in Zhao Huai’s destiny was blazing brightly.
Zhao Huai’s pupils changed color suddenly, and the world in his eyes transformed.
A faint black smoke appeared in the house where the pawnshop was located, guiding him.
Without hesitation, Zhao Huai left his bedroom.
On the ground lay a charred object that resembled a rat’s head, but it was different. It had a pair of fangs, a chest covered in white fluffy fur, and black fleshy wings on its back.
“A bat?” Zhao Huai stared at the corpse, baffled.
He immediately recognized it as a white-furred bat, quite large with the size of a child, looking well-fed with the blood it had consumed.
No wonder it was a bat demon. Bats were afraid of light, which is why they feared it.
The two agreed to meet at an inn.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Huai saw a beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament, in a green lotus long dress, walk into the gate. Lu Wanqiu saw Zhao Huai from afar and greeted him as she walked over. “Young Master Zhao, long time no see.”
Zhao Huai smiled and nodded, staring at her dress and teasing her:
“Every time I see you, you’re wearing the same outfit. It seems like you never change.”
Hearing this, Lu Wanqiu giggled and explained,
“This is a dust-repelling spiritual gown made by the sect for inner disciples and above. It generally won’t get dirty and is made from high-quality Heavenly Silkworm spirit thread. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer, so one set is enough.”
“I see.”
Zhao Huai nodded slightly.
“What’s the matter? It’s rare for you to come looking for me.”
Lu Wanqiu poured herself a cup of tea and said with a light laugh.
Zhao Huai thought for a moment and then said, “Do you know about the mountains near Jinzhou, I think they are called Tianmu Mountain?”
“I know, the Blackwind Cave is located nearby.” “There must be many demonic creatures there.”
“Indeed, there are many.”
Lu Wanqiu nodded in agreement.
“So why hasn’t the Immortal Yearning Sect taken any action?” Zhao Huai asked with deep gazes.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanqiu didn’t respond but just smiled. After a pause, she slowly asked Zhao Huai a question,
“I want to ask Young Master Zhao, what are demons?”
Zhao Huai didn’t hesitate to reply, “Demons are cunning and brutal, they kill indiscriminately and take pleasure in eating humans.”
Lu Wanqiu nodded, clearly agreeing.
“What you said is not wrong, but do you know, not all demons are actually evil.”
“Are you saying that there are good demons?” Zhao Huai asked, puzzled.
Lu Wanqiu slowly explained, “In the path of cultivation, all beings are equal. If humans can cultivate, then demons can naturally cultivate as well. In Tianmu Mountain, there are honest cultivating demons, demons who start families and businesses, and demons who live in seclusion in the mountains. The Immortal Yearning Sect cannot exterminate all the demons wantonly, this would be an act of unkindness according to the Heavenly Power and would disturb the balance of cause and effect, causing karmic debts.”
“So, the sect only kills the troublesome demons but does not kill all the demons. It’s not just the Immortal Yearning Sect, but other sects as well.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai began to understand and said with a faint smile, “Is this your own idea or the sect’s idea?”
He didn’t believe reality could be so beautiful. When demons eat people, they don’t care if they are good or bad people.
Just as when cultivators kill demons, they won’t differentiate between demons or evil demons.
The two sides are still irreconcilable.
Lu Wanqiu gave him a glance and said helplessly, “It’s both the sect’s idea and my idea.”
Seeing her appearance, Zhao Huai understood completely.
It was still a matter of priorities. The rules were just an excuse, and the Immortal Yearning Sect couldn’t spend all their time and effort on slaying demons.
Those who showed themselves would naturally be killed, but as for those who didn’t cause trouble, the sect didn’t really want to bother with them. After all, slaying demons came at the cost of human lives.
Through their conversation, Zhao Huai came to understand the sect’s specific attitude towards demons.
He stared at Lu Wanqiu’s reminiscing expression and knew that she must have experienced something. Her parents died at the hands of demons, and it was truly remarkable for her to come to such a conclusion.
It reflected her innate kindness.
