Chapter 302: 181, Blood Demon fellow Daoist is still very useful_2
"Demon cultivators include loose cultivators of the demonic path, disciples of demonic sects, and even those like me, disciples of the Sacred Gate. Hence, the term ’demon cultivator’ is actually a general designation. On the other hand, disciples of the righteous Immortal Sects represent a specific group, so senior, you’ve actually omitted quite a bit. Are not disciples from the various branches of the righteous path part of the righteous path as well? Are not Loose Cultivators on the righteous path still members of the righteous community?" Tan Shuchang corrected.
But to the green-robed elder, this seemed no different from quibbling.
However, it was rare to encounter someone who did not recognize the legacy left by that old ghost who preached teaching, so the green-robed elder was quite patient and thus replied with a smile, "Besides disciples of the righteous Immortal Sects, the other two groups you mentioned are but ants, of little consequence. Why bother with them? Even if these individuals truly made contributions to the righteous path, when it comes time to recognize their feats, a simple ’etcetera’ suffices to encompass them all."
"Yet it was for these ’ants’ that Educator Weng chose to sacrifice himself for enlightenment. Don’t you find your words contradictory, senior?" Tan Shuchang feigned confusion.
In his heart, though, he had already concluded that the legacy left by this True Immortal Educator Weng either had issues inherently, or something had gone wrong along the way.
The performance of this spirit of the legacy before him was very good corroborative evidence of this.
Who among those who forsake their lives for righteousness did not do so for the common people of this world?
Although the sacrifice of those nine Mountain Patrol Envoys from Ghost Mountain Ridge felt somewhat questionable, weren’t their initial intentions to prevent the Earth Ghost Immortals within the ridge from harming others?
Now, upon hearing Tan Shuchang put it this way, the green-robed elder realized that he had become the subject of suspicion and thus heaved a long sigh, "Demon cultivators truly are born to be suspicious!"
Tan Shuchang, feeling offended: "..."
You reveal a whole host of clues yourself, what does that have to do with me being a demon cultivator?
At this moment, the green-robed elder, looking at Tan Shuchang, sighed again and said, "It’s rare to encounter one I find agreeable, and I was even willing to let you go. Why must you seek your own death?"
"Senior’s words are wrong," Tan Shuchang also heaved a sigh upon hearing this.
"Where did I speak incorrectly?" The green-robed elder wasn’t in a hurry to take action, given that few people came to this place. Encountering someone pleasing to his eyes, he too wished to talk more.
"It’s not too late for senior to let me leave even now," Tan Shuchang said with a calm demeanor.
"Hahaha, interesting, what makes you think you have the right to ask me to release you?" The green-robed elder laughed.
"This junior never said to ask senior to let me go, but since senior is unwilling, I hope senior will not regret it," Tan Shuchang speaking, released the half-formed blood entity he had prepared long ago.
As soon as the blood entity appeared, an unnerving aura immediately spread. The scene replete with books transformed instantly into a surging sea of blood under the influence of this aura!
And with the appearance of this sea of blood, the literary atmosphere of the place was shattered in an instant.
The illusory shape of the ruined Mountain Patrol Temple appeared faintly visible.
"Secluded Spring Blood Demon!"
For the Blood Pool was on the verge of overturning.
"Blood Spring!" However, the elder in the green robe, upon seeing this scene, was utterly terrified, for he recalled from the memories he had from the Old Ghost who Taught the Law the images of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon summoning the Blood Spring.
And the towering sea of blood before his eyes was exactly the same.
"Blood Spring High Immortal, please spare my life! I am willing to hand over all the inheritances of the Old Ghost who Taught the Law, as well as the secrets of the Purple-Gold Immortal! I beg you, High Immortal, spare me!" After mistaking Tan Shuchang for the Blood Spring in human form, the elder in the green robe had lost the will to resist.
That was because Tan Shuchang’s previous words had revealed a message: the Secluded Spring Blood Demon had not been sealed by the Old Ghost who Taught the Law, and furthermore, the Blood Demon had long escaped the confinement.
So if the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, such a formidable opponent, had been killed by this Blood Spring in human form, could he be a match for it?
In fact, he could.
The green-robed elder had been refined into an incarnation by a Righteous True Immortal of Earthly Slaughter, which naturally meant his original body was exceptional.
Though not a True Immortal, he could fight one with all his might.
Furthermore, if the green-robed elder truly wished to flee, most True Immortals would not be able to stop him.
Otherwise, Tan Shuchang would not have directly manifested his undying blood form and summoned the Coexistent Blood Pool. And though he appeared calm earlier, he had already been communicating with the principle of greed.
However, the green-robed elder had become so frightened that he lost the will to resist and resigned himself to his fate.
"Purple-Gold Immortal?"
Taken aback by the mention, Tan Shuchang tentatively said, "Then how about senior seals himself and stays at the bottom of the Blood Pool?"
"Thank you, High Immortal! Thank you, High Immortal!"
Upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s words, the green-robed elder was overjoyed, as he knew he would not have to die.
Immediately, he took out all the inheritances left by the Old Ghost who Taught the Law. At the same time, he sealed himself, revealed his true body, and allowed the blood waters to drag him down to the bottom.
Seeing this, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but feel a sense of appreciation—his fellow Daoist of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon was still as useful as ever.
With just half a blood body, he had made a being with the Three Certifications surrender without a fight.
Although there was no direct cause and effect between the half blood body of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon and the green-robed elder going to the bottom of the Blood Pool, without that half blood body, the elder would not have been too afraid to resist.
Then, Tan Shuchang began to employ "Dharma Gate One," a technique he evolved from his freeform nature.
Because the green-robed elder’s true body was a Wind Green Spirit, similar to the Fire Essence Spirit, both were uniquely endowed natural treasures.
