A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves of grass to sway. Clouds that were as faint as mist floated across the horizon. Sunlight poured down like a light golden rain.

The shouts that rose and fell inside and outside the Demon Garden were like muffled thunder in the rain. One after another, the shouts penetrated through the dense layers of black iron railings, spreading the aura of freedom to every corner of the garden.

"Empty the Enchanted Garden? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true!

Elder Xie personally gave the order, and even sent all of his disciples here, instructing that we must do everything properly. "

"… Are you sure you want to release them, not clean them up, not burn them all?"

"Burn your ass. I think you're the one who's confused."

The Little Servants chatted happily. Their voices were clearly heard by the two people in front of the garden and the thousands of iron cages behind them.

The demons imprisoned in the cages were restless. They used their teeth and claws to pull at the railings, hissing and howling incessantly.

In front of the Enchanted Garden, the handsome young man looked confused. He raised his head slightly and looked directly at Cui Hai.

Cui Hai's eyes flashed with a strange light, and a trace of unexpected panic appeared on his face, but it was immediately concealed extremely well. His thin eyebrows were slightly knitted, but the corners of his mouth hung in a shallow arc.

"Do you really think … Xie Ziyou has such good intentions?"

Although his smile was friendly, his voice was cold as if it was covered in ice.

"Look at the demons around you. They've been tortured and are already covered in scars. If you drive them down the mountain now, how long can they last with their injuries?"

Hu Ke listened in a daze. He glanced at the bloodstains on the wall with the Yuguang out of the corner of his eye. His heart suddenly palpitated.

It seemed … that it was true.

Seeing Hu Ke's expression wavering, Cui Hai struck while the iron was hot. He encouraged, "Injuries are only one of the reasons. Some of the demons have been tortured and have already lost their cultivation. They can't even maintain their human forms.

Drive them down the mountain and drive them into the mountains like ordinary beasts. Do you really think this is a good thing? "

Hu Ke's pupils suddenly trembled, and his five fingers subconsciously clenched.

Treat them like ordinary beasts …

How could that be!

The young man's chest tightened. Just as he was about to ask Cui Hai, "Then what should we do?", a series of even sharper screams erupted from not far away. They were excited and infatuated, and most of them were female.

Hu Ke raised his head subconsciously.

What entered his eyes was a snow-white Daoist robe. It was made of simple coarse cloth, but it was as bright as the moon, spotless.

The person who'd arrived had picturesque features, scholarly and refined, and his tall figure was like a bamboo in a cool breeze. He carried a simple wooden box in his hand as he strolled over leisurely.

The strange young man slowly walked to the entrance of the Enchanted Garden and looked at Hu Ke and Cui Hai calmly. He slightly cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask if you are the manager of this Enchanted Garden?

Xu He was invited by the Sixth Elder, Xie Ziyou, to treat the injuries of these little demons. "

Cui Hai: "…"

[Where did this bastard come from? He's undermining me again!]

His heart was filled with resentment, and he subconsciously exerted more force in his hands, causing his knuckles to turn white.

Hu Ke was also a little flustered.

As if he was afraid of dirtying the other party's Daoist robe, the young man hurriedly took half a step back and said in a low voice, "The manager, the manager is inside.

Go straight, turn right, pass through a cave, then turn left, and you'll see a small wooden house. He's over there. "

After saying that, Hu Ke raised his head a little uneasily. "Do you remember clearly?

Do you need me to repeat it, or do you need me to lead the way? "

"No need, thank you."

The young man in white smiled slightly. "I think the two of you seem to have something important to discuss. It's already disrespectful of me to disturb you. Now … I'll go alone."

Xu He carried the wooden box and stepped into the Enchanted Garden unhurriedly.

When he entered the door, Hu Ke subconsciously turned sideways, leaving a gap, and called back with a faint "thank you."

[…] and a whiff of faint herbal fragrance when they brushed past each other.

For some reason, a thought suddenly flashed through Hu Ke's mind.

There were many demons in the Enchanted Garden, and the smell was fishy. Most cultivators regarded it as a filthy place. Even when Cui Hai invited him, they had to meet outside the Enchanted Garden.

Fang Cai's clothes were so beautiful. Wasn't she afraid of being stained in the Enchanted Garden?

"Xiao Ke?"

Hu Ke's mind was wandering, and he absentmindedly answered, "Yes." The light in front of him flashed, and a slightly gloomy face suddenly appeared.

Cui Hai couldn't describe his current mood.

He licked his molars hard, and with the greatest patience in his life, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart, raised his hand, and coughed twice.

At the same time, he waved his folding fan, which suddenly unfolded and gently waved in front of him a few times.

Golden powder sprinkled on the fan, dazzling under the sunlight, instantly pulled Hu Ke's wandering mind back.

"Did the person who just went in really treat the small demons?" Cui Hai asked softly.

Hu Ke was silent, but his slender eyebrows slightly furrowed.

— — Fang Cai was so righteous, willing to enter the filthy Enchanted Garden. Even when he was covered in stains, he didn't show the slightest contempt. His eyes were clear, as if everything in the world was the same in his eyes.

How could he be such a hypocrite?

Seeing that Hu Ke's expression was slightly strange, Cui Hai's smile froze, and he immediately changed his tone.

"That's right. Even if Xie Ziyou really did ask someone to treat the small demons, can he guarantee that they won't be taken away by others after they go down the mountain alive?"

Under the sunlight, Hu Ke's pupils trembled a few times, and he raised his head in disbelief.

"They — — won't they be free if Xie Ziyou let them go?" The young man's lips trembled, and he said in surprise, "They … can still be taken away by others?"

"Of course."

The folding fan floated in the palm of Cui Hai's hand. Cui Hai held the fan in front of his lips with four fingers.

The fan's face was snow-white, and his thin lips were slightly red. The curve of his mouth was full and attractive, and his slender peach blossom eyes were exposed, making him look even more charming and elegant.

"Xie Ziyou is the best at refining demon pills. Many small demons in the Enchanted Garden were carefully selected by him. They have many bloodlines, and some have a slight chance of returning to their ancestors … In short, in the eyes of people who know their stuff, they are priceless.

Now, he wants to drive all these demons down the mountain. Not to mention what the Sect Leader and the other Elders think, do you think those itinerant cultivators who are extremely short of resources will let go of this good opportunity? "

Hu Ke was speechless for a long time.

"Do you understand?" Cui Hae-joo said.

The situation had once again fallen into his control, and the young man once again maintained a confident and immovable bearing. His black robe fluttered lightly as he said in an elegant manner, "Earlier, Xie Ziyou specially requested to see you, so I thought you were old acquaintances."

— — Or there was something special about him that was worth the Elder's attention.

But now it seemed that this was just Xie Ziyou's whim.

It was almost impossible to get close to Xie Ziyou through him.

Cui Hai's eyes darkened slightly. His jet-black and thick eyelashes swept down, casting a tiny shadow that completely concealed the dark golden profound patterns in his deep eyes.

When his plan failed, he thought that Hu Ke had lost his usefulness. But he didn't expect that the little snake beside this person would be fancied by Xie Ziyou. Xie Ziyou even had sex with him!

That kind of intimate contact was much more likely than that of an ordinary disciple.

Thinking of this, Cui Hai's smile became warmer and warmer.

He took half a step forward and quickly grabbed Hu Ke's shoulder, which was unconsciously leaning back. His handsome face instantly enlarged in the young man's surprised eyes. He said in a soft voice, almost bewitching, "Since Xie Ziyou has no feelings for you, why are you still hesitating?"

"Your good friend, that pitiful little snake demon, don't you want to help him out of his misery?"

Hu Ke's light-colored pupils contracted slightly. His face showed that he was struggling. His legs trembled slightly, and he staggered back half a step.

But Cui Hai held him down tightly.

Cui Hai took another step forward, half tempting and half forcing him. "You know your friend's temperament. Is he a natural man?"

"No …"

"That's right!

It must be that Xie Ziyou who forced him and even used your safety to threaten him. Your friend was forced into a corner and suffered such humiliation! "

"But …"

"Now that things have come to this, why are you still hesitating?

I have something here. Ask your friend to put it in Xie Ziyou's tea and persuade him to drink it. It will definitely save him from his misery! "

His voice became louder and louder. Cui Hai knew that it was the critical moment to persuade Hu Ke, so he exerted his talent to the maximum. Golden patterns surged in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes turned red, vaguely outlining the pattern of a charming little fox.

He stared at Hu Ke's eyes without blinking.

But for some reason, this time, the young man was not bewitched by him. Instead, his face was full of panic, and he struggled all the way back.

"Actually …" Hu Ke tried to speak again.

Cui Hai did not want to hear him refute, and shouted loudly, "Do you really care about your friend?

If you do, you should give this to him. After that, everything will be decided by him! "

"… Give me what?"

A faint voice of displeasure floated from behind. It was deafening, like a thunderclap.

Cui Hai seemed to be fixed on the spot. His body was stiff, and his back was stretched into a straight line.

Shasha's footsteps came closer, and finally stopped a foot away from the Enchanted Garden.

"Brother Cui," Hu Ke lowered his head apologetically and whispered, "I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but you didn't let me …"

Cui Hai's face was pale.

He pursed his lips and slowly turned around.

Two young men stood behind him.

One of them was dressed in bright clothes and had a delicate appearance. His beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at him with dissatisfaction. The other was dressed in black and had an imposing appearance. His long black hair was tied up behind his head, and his light gray eyes were Ying Ying. His left hand was hanging by his side, and he quietly held the other person's wrist.

There was a long silence.

A cool breeze lifted up his long black sleeves. The dark golden patterns on them were still bright and luxurious, but the person covered by the patterns looked sad. She slowly lowered her head and said in a low voice, "… Elder Xie."

It was Xie Ziyou and Xie Heng who came.

"What do you have that you want to put in my tea?

Give it to me and let me see. "

Xie Ziyou raised his eyebrows and stepped forward. He gathered wind with his five fingers and attacked Cui Hai's right hand.

Cui Hai looked like he was struggling, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He suddenly raised his head and stuffed the pill in his hand into his mouth!

"Gulp!"

The clear sound of swallowing entered everyone's ears, and they were all stunned.

Cui Hai choked on the pill and coughed repeatedly. His eyes were watery.

"Cough, cough … cough … hahaha!"

He coughed heartbreakingly and laughed at the sky, allowing the gray color to climb up his jade-like cheeks.

Blood gradually flowed out of his mouth, nose, and ears.

The blood was scarlet, and it immediately turned dark brown when it came into contact with the air, emitting a strong aura of death.

"Xie Ziyou, don't think you can find out the person behind me by interrogating me!"

The young man laughed wildly until he was almost convulsing. He panted violently and shouted, "We, we will kill all the people who harm the demon race in this world.

You … will have retribution in the end … "

"Tsk."

Xie Ziyou lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the expression in his eyes, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Cui Hai's vision gradually turned white, and he could no longer see anything. His ears were also blocked by blood, and he could only vaguely hear the words "original owner", "points", "enough", and a few other inexplicable words …

The next second, his head was held up by someone.

A large amount of liquid was poured into his mouth without any explanation. The force was so strong that Cui Hai's eyes rolled back.

A sweet fragrance overflowed in his mouth, like the fragrance of fruits.

… No, that's not right.

Cui Hai thought blankly. Didn't this medicine kill me instantly?

Why am I not dead yet?

… Not only am I not dead, my vision is getting brighter, and the sound in my ears is getting clearer?

Damn, my cultivation seems to have increased a little?

Damn, is this poison or an elixir!
