Chapter 324: The Legend of Yaksha, Overflowing Karma

"Xiao?" Jiang Yiben walked to the bridge of Wangshu Inn and suddenly turned his head.

A blue-black wind has passed by.

"I feel a stronger evil spirit?" Chongyun stopped and stopped thinking about the liar. He used the alchemist's secret technique to explore, and the peach wood sword pointed to one side.

"The evil-filled hillbillies approached the Wangshu Inn, and were used by the Starry Sky Monarch to establish his authority and deceive people. We walked here, but didn't see many Thousand Rocks Army." Xingqiu pondered, "I guess there must be a lot of such hillbillies, so the Thousand Rocks Army has no time to care about the Starry Sky Monarch."

"Since we sense the evil spirit, let's go over and take a look. With the three-foot sword in our hands, we can slay the demons and protect the safety of the caravans and tourists passing through here!"

Xingqiu stood with his hands behind his back, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

At Paimon's suggestion, Ying opened the elemental vision for observation.

Everyone moved forward quickly following the trace of evil energy.

Jiang Yi's sharp ears immediately heard the howling of the hill people.

However, the howling stopped abruptly after a long time.

"That small island?" Chongyun condensed the ice element to freeze the water surface. When everyone crossed the water, they saw the corpses of the hill people all over the small island.

The traces of evil spirit from the bodies of the hill people dissipated into the air.

"What a fierce shooting skill, never seen before!" Xingqiu checked the wounds of the hillbillies. All of them were killed with one shot, and were stabbed at the same time.

The gunshot wound was so small that it was barely visible on the hillman's appearance.

"The wind penetrates every pore!" Xingqiu commented.

The spear light of Feng penetrated into the body, and the life of the hill people was instantly destroyed.

"Over there..." Chongyun sensed a small island in the distance, which was emitting strange elemental fluctuations and a terrifyingly strong evil aura.

"The Great Sage Who Conquers Demons?" After everyone arrived at the island, Paimon looked at Xiao in surprise who was standing among the corpses of the Hilichurls.

Chongyun immediately bowed when he saw Xiao: "Greetings, Immortal!"

The Great Sage who conquers demons and their sect of alchemists, one dark and one bright, have been guarding Liyue together for a long time. He had met this lord before and had always respected him very much.

The only thing that I cannot agree with deep down in my heart is that this gentleman said that the exorcist is small and powerless, and not worth mentioning.

Xingqiu also followed suit and saluted.

"It's you?" Xiao's hazy memories became clear again, and he maintained a calm expression, "Jiang Yi, and... Ying and Paimeng."

"I'm clearing out monsters in this area, and it looks like I'm getting in the way of you and your friends!"

"Hmm?" Paimon touched his chin, feeling that Xiao was suddenly too polite.

"No problem!" Ying waved her hand, "Do you need our help?"

Xingqiu thought, are immortals so gentle? Seeing is believing.

"It is our duty to slay demons and eliminate evil!" Chongyun found that this gentleman seemed to have forgotten him, even though they had met several times before.

Jiang Yi looked at Xiao in silence.

"No need!" Xiao refused, "The changes in these monsters were caused by me."

Ying, Paimeng, Xingqiu and Chongyun didn't understand.

"I have cleared out all the monsters near Dihua Island. Now I am going to clear out a cave with a strong evil aura. Let's say goodbye for now!" Xiao didn't seem to want to stay for long, and flew straight into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Well, why did you leave like that?" Paimeng spread his hands.

Ying felt that Xiao was acting weird today.

"Why did Xiao say that the monsters' mutations were caused by him?" She looked at Jiang Yi, "You mentioned karma before, do you know something?"

Jiang Yi looked at these hillbillies who were covered in black air, and swept across the island with a sword with Zen light in his hand.

Chongyun felt that the evil energy around him had cleared away, and the aura that made him feel uneasy also disappeared.

"Have you ever read a book called 'Records of the Yakshas, ​​the Guardian Immortals'?"

"Records of the Yakshas, ​​the Guardian Immortals?" Ying and Paimeng were puzzled.

"I know this book. It's sold at Wanwenjishe in Feiyunpo." Xingqiu showed off his extensive knowledge.

"In ancient times, Liyue was reborn with miasma and filled with monsters. The rotten remains of the defeated demon gods spread hatred and resentment in the world and turned into monsters. Whenever monsters become restless, plagues, ghosts and mutations will follow."

"So, the King of Rocks summoned the Yakshas from among the immortals to eliminate the evil spirits. They swore to the King of Rocks that they would kill for the sake of protecting the Dharma. They eliminated many sufferings, and this went on for years..."

Xingqiu said, "This is one of the less popular historical records in Liyue, but it talks about many Yakshas and this demon-conquering Great Sage."

Chongyun nodded: "I have read this book too."

"According to records, during the long bloody battle, the Yakshas were bound by their karma and contaminated by the hatred of the demon gods. Some of them fell into fear and went mad, some killed each other, and some became possessed by demons."

"Among them, the five most powerful Yaksha Immortals are General Teng Snake, General Xinyuan, General Huoshu, General Luojuan and General Jinpeng."

"Three of them died in an accident, one is missing, and after thousands of years of suffering, only General Jinpeng, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage we just met, is still alive."

“Wow! The Yakshas are so pitiful, Xiao…” Paimon covered his chest, “They have worked hard to protect Liyue for thousands of years, not only have they received no rewards, but they have to endure such torture and die one by one.”

"Xiao said that the monsters' mutations were caused by it... Uh!" Paimon was stunned, "Could it be that Xiao is going to go crazy and become a villain?"

"You were so gentle to us just now, are you pretending to be another side of yourself?"

A black line appeared on Ying's forehead, wondering if Paimon was overthinking it.

But when I think about it, it actually makes some sense.

"This immortal?" Xingqiu recalled the other party's every move. Before they arrived, he was looking at the water. At first glance, it seemed that he was waiting for them, but it also seemed that he was calming down after killing.

It was not until they approached that he reacted and uttered the first sentence: "Is it you?"

"The Yaksha clan has made huge contributions to Liyue. Maybe we should follow them and take a look!" Chongyun suggested.

Jiang Yi sighed: "The Great Sage who conquers demons is deliberately avoiding us."

"I don't know if you know a saying, mortals should not get too close to the world of immortals and demons, because the fortune of immortals is difficult for ordinary mortals to bear, and the karma of Yaksha is even more so."

"I have just seen the Demon-Subduing Great Sage again in such a short time, and the karma oozing out of him is shockingly dense."

"These karmas are the source of pollution around Wangshu Inn and even the Qiuqiu people near Dihua Island. Therefore, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage believes that it is his responsibility."

"He probably thinks that if he stays with us for a while longer, it will pollute us!"

“So that’s how it is!” Xingqiu and Chongyun suddenly realized.

"The immortals are kindhearted, but they underestimate us."

"So..." Jiang Yi smiled.

"We want to prove it, so let's go find that cave!" Xingqiu and Chongyun said.

"Actually, I think so too!" Jiang Yi said.

The Buddha's sword that I used against Xiao last time was not strong enough.

I don’t know how much of Xiao’s karma I can eliminate now.

Wait for Xiao to come back before swinging the sword. It is better to take the initiative to follow and help suppress the karma.

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and said in unison.

"Okay! Let's go!"
