(TN: please vote with powerstones and write reviews, it gives me motivation)
The two groups of people left the restaurant.
To protect each other, they even deliberately walked in the opposite direction.
A while later. After confirming that nothing happened, Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief.
That was close.
If both sides really fought, this town would attract attention.
At this time, there might be card users entering the cultivation world to look for the 'Nightmare Walker' card.
I must not attract attention.
Not bad.
I finally managed to persuade them to leave.
Liu Ping looked at the void in front of him and saw lines of small words stopping there.
[You've activated the mysterious technique: The One Who Debuts.]
[You've designated everyone present as' The One Who Debuts'and selected the effect:]
[Forgetting Lines.]
[You've started to consume spirit stones, the amount is …]
Seeing the words' consume spirit stones', Liu Ping's heart ached and he couldn't bear to continue reading.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a person appear on the street.
It was the bald man.
His true form was that of a tiger demon. After everyone left, he turned back and entered the restaurant again.
"What's the matter?" Liu Ping asked.
"The Demon King — she won't be in any danger, right?" The bald man asked worriedly.
"No, she's fine. She's investigating the matter of the Gua Saint. If there's any problem, she has backup plans to solve it." Liu Ping said.
"That's good. Let's not look for her for now. Let's go back to the clan and wait for her return." The bald man heaved a sigh of relief.
He stood up and was about to leave when Liu Ping stopped him.
"I've been out on missions for a long time. There are some things that I'm not sure about. I need to ask you." Liu Ping said.
"Please speak." The bald man said.
"I remember that our Demon Beast Clan and the Human Clan were in the midst of signing an armistice agreement to restore the situation of peaceful coexistence. Why is there still friction between us?"
"There are too many reasons. For example, the monsters that can possess the dead are causing trouble. For example, the Demon Saints and the Human Saints are both saying that they can't stop fighting. Of course, the most important reason is the conflict between the Nine Serinities and the Grand Supreme." The bald man said.
"The conflict between the Nine Serinities and the Grand Supreme?" Liu Ping asked curiously.
"A few hundred years ago, the Path of the Grand Supreme was the orthodox path of cultivation. The Nine Serinities could not be compared to it at all. Therefore, although the evil path existed, they did not dare to go against the orthodox Daoism for fear of being destroyed by Daoism — you know this, right?" The bald man said.
"Of course I know that. What do you want to say?" Liu Ping nodded.
The bald man looked fascinated and said in a clear voice, "The Demon Clan who cultivated the Path of the Nine Serinities had been oppressed for countless years. Suddenly, one day, a brilliant Master of the Demonic Path appeared out of nowhere. With his own strength, he completed the Art of the Nine Serinities, making it not inferior to the Supreme Art. Since then, the Demon Clan was unwilling to be under Daoism, and the war began."
Liu Ping was speechless.
"The Lord of the Demonic path has done many things, each of which is enough to shake the world, but he has never revealed his identity. No one knows what kind of demon he is."
"In the era he started, the demons who practiced the arts of the Nine Serinities finally understood that fate could be changed."
"The last time the Lord of the Demonic Path appeared was when he saved the human race's Gua Saint on the battlefield. No one knows why he did that — — in short, he disappeared after that" the bald man said.
"…" Liu Ping wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"It's a pity that his name was hidden by the Heavens and was lost to the world. We wanted to pay our respects to him, but we couldn't find his name and image." the bald man said regretfully.
Liu Ping sighed and said, "If he knew that it would trigger a war between the Good and Evil Paths for countless years, I guess he wouldn't have revealed the Dao Formula of the Nine Serineties to the world."
"What he did was right" the bald man said.
"Right?" Liu Ping asked.
The bald man looked straight at him and said, "Do we, the Demon Clan, deserve to be oppressed by the human race? Do we deserve to become material for the human race's weapon refinement? Do the beautiful women in our clan have to become concubines of the human race? On what basis? "
Liu Ping fell silent.
"The Lord of the Demonic Path gave us hope to fight against fate. In short, we have always been grateful to him." the bald man said.
He stood up and saluted Liu Ping with his fists. Then, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.
"He said it quite well." Yana whispered.
"Was he right?" Liu Ping asked.
"Of course — — - I mean, being oppressed without being able to fight back is a very sad fate. I think that the Lord of the Demonic Path did the right thing" Yana said.
"But the war broke out, more and more people died." Liu Ping said.
"When it hurts, peace will come. When both sides are at the same level of strength, they will learn to respect each other." Yana casually said.
"But this world already belongs to the Divinities." Liu Ping said.
"That's right, as long as the Divinities don't let it stop, the war will continue." Andrea said in annoyance.
"— — -Even if the Lord of the Demonic Path comes back to life, he can't do anything about this situation. This is already the world of the Divinities." Yana said.
Liu Ping fell silent.
A while later.
He sighed and walked out of the restaurant. When he reached the end of the street, he crouched down to check on the leader's condition.
That attack just now was a bit harsh.
The leader's life wasn't in danger, but he was still unconscious.
Liu Ping helped him up and carried him back to the restaurant.
For the rest of the time, Liu Ping stood at the entrance of the restaurant, silently thinking.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a colorful cloud appeared in the sky.
Someone was chanting from the cloud:
"White jade capital in the sky, 12 towers and 5 cities.
Heavenly beings touch my head, tie my hair and accept eternal life.
Mistakenly following the pleasures of the world, chaotic emotions.
The 96 Holy Lords, floating clouds with empty names "
Liu Ping put his hand on his forehead.
A second later, the colorful cloud slowly descended and turned into an old man with white hair and a youthful complexion.
The old man's expression was like a heavenly being, smiling as he walked into the restaurant: "Waiter, do you have a seat?"
"Yes, please take a seat here." Liu Ping greeted him.
"Hm, young man, you have an extraordinary bearing and a handsome face, which part of you looks like a waiter?" the old man asked, looking at Liu Ping.
"I'm just a waiter, sir, what would you like to eat?" Liu Ping smiled and asked.
"Such a mundane question? This old man hasn't touched the mortal world for many years inseed. "the old man replied.
"Sir, I can tell that you're not an ordinary person. Please order a few dishes" Liu Ping advised him.
"I'm a free traveler, I don't eat the food of the mortal world" the old man replied.
"Then how about some wine?" Liu Ping asked.
"Wine can mess with one's nature, it's not a good thing, I won't drink, I won't drink" the old man replied.
"Then how about some fruits and refreshments?" Liu Ping asked.
"There's no need for that, everything in your mortal world is tacky, don't taint this old man's heart" the old man replied.
"You can't do that" Liu Ping was troubled.
"Why not?" the old man asked curiously.
"If you haven't reached the minimum price, you can't just casually take a seat." Liu Ping sincerely explained.
The old man's expression froze.
"Fine, I won't sit. I still have things to do — —"
He looked at the opposite side of the street outside the restaurant.
— — the opposite side wasn't open.
The old man sighed and sat back down on the chair, his expression becoming more and more otherworldly.
It wasn't easy for him to come out and be free. Was he going to make a wasted trip?
The old man slammed the table and said casually, "Then give me eight meat and eight vegetable dishes, chicken, duck, fish, cow, pig, egg and milk, it's best if there's rare seafood. I won't be so particular about the vegetable dishes; give me a portion of everything in season, and a bucket of rice, a pot of Nu 'er Hong, a pot of Shaodao, and a pot of rice brew. The Nu' er Hong needs to be hot, the Shaodao needs to be cold, the Shaodao needs to be cold.
Liu Ping asked, "You're treating today?"
"No, I'm eating alone."
"… Alright, please wait a moment."
Liu Ping turned and left.
Li Zhangxue hadn't arrived yet, but her master had.
Li Zhangxue was a direct disciple of the Azure Heavens Sect, and a true seed of the sword path, becoming a sword immortal.
Yet, her master was only this capable?
Liu Ping went to the kitchen to order the dishes, and immediately the chefs started cooking, the entire kitchen was busy.
When Liu Ping returned, he saw that there was another person in the restaurant.
It was a guest wearing a bamboo hat and a long robe.
Demon King Zhao Chanyi!
Why did she return to the restaurant?
Liu Ping's eyebrows twitched, then smiled and said: "Dear guest, please take a seat."
The Demon King found a table, sat down majestically, then tilted her head: "Waiter, serve this King some tea."
Liu Ping glared coldly at her.
'— — I already said that I had something to do here, why did you return? Don't you know that you're lucky that you're wearing a bamboo hat; otherwise, that old man over there would definitely want to fight you.'
The white-haired old man glanced at her, then shook his head in disdain and slammed his hand on the table.
'— — this King only managed to find information about your master after a close shave with death, and you dare to speak to this King like that?'
"Dear guest, please wait a moment, the tea will be served soon!" Liu Ping smiled and went to pour the tea.
A few moments later.
A pot of tea was brought over, filled to the brim and offered to the 'man' in the bamboo hat with both hands.
'The Demon King is the number one flashy cat demon in the world, finding information is as easy as blowing off dust. Can this humble one broaden his horizons?' Liu Ping lowered his head and sent his voice.
— — -this cat likes to be praised the most, as soon as she's praised, there's no end to it.
As expected.
Under the bamboo hat, the pair of beautiful eyes squinted as they smiled.
"Hm, the tea isn't bad, your waiter isn't bad either, this silver is your reward!"
The 'man' in the bamboo hat spoke with a rough voice.
She casually tossed a silver ingot onto the table, rolled a few times, then stopped in front of Liu Ping.
"Thank you for your reward, sir!"
Liu Ping took the silver, then told the old man on the other table: "Please stay here for a while, I'll hurry up the dishes"
He returned to the back of the restaurant, took the silver in his hand and sensed it.
As expected.
There's a jade tag hidden inside the silver.
