Chapter 277: Judgment Day

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

On September 12, a great event shocked the whole demon descendant community at the Forum Conference.

The fall of Taoist Venerable also involved an old case 80 years ago.Eighty years ago, the world’s heroes surrounded and attempted to exterminate the Demonic Priest. After paying a heavy price, they killed him at Quanzhen Sect. This was known as “The Chaos of Quanzhen.”

In that war, half of the demon descendants community was destroyed, and Taoism had not recovered fully. They were one level below Buddhism. The figures of authority in the demon descendants community changed. After the chaos of Quanzhen, the seven families emerged.

Amidst the common recognised facts from the demon descendants community, the Demonic Priest was the biggest villain in modern history. He had the power to destroy everything, and he wasn’t orthodox. He betrayed his country and race, killed the demon descendants who fought on the side of the Chinese, and did a lot of evil.

However, in the event of Taoist Venerable’s fall, the truth was revealed, and the big boss on the villainous side turned out to be the poor victim, while the real mastermind, instead, became the biggest beneficiary. After the chaos of Quanzhen, amidst the decadence of Taoism, this person ushered Taoism collectively into a new era, making a significant contribution to the reconstruction of Taoism.

He was Wang Qing of Quanzhen Sect.

Everyone regarded Demonic Priest back then as a scum and traitor who deserved to die. Now, looking back, the irony was unimaginable.

This event set off a huge wave in the demon descendants community. Compared with this, Li Xianyu’s double awakening, who would be the winner of the Forum Conference, who amongst Jie Se and Dan Chenzi was better… These matters were insignificant and would not matter alongside this issue.

Those who used the Internet would know about this.

The Taoists were totally stunned and didn’t know what to do. Taoist Venerable had fallen and there were no leaders. However, Taoist Venerable, regarded as the leader and a spiritual symbol by them, had become a sinner and one of the culprits of the chaos of Quanzhen. If this didn’t happen on the stage, the Taoists would try every means to conceal it, deal with it secretly and oust Taoist Venerable from office. It was not to protect him. It was the right thing to do in the eyes of the Taoists. The crimes of Taoist Venerable were an unimaginable blow to the disciples of Taoism. Those young disciples, after knowing the truth, began to doubt the purpose of life.

The thoughts of people was one issue. Another was the reputation of Taoism. First, Immortal Hua Yu secretly harmed her sister from the same sect, and then, Taoist Venerable became the culprit of the chaos of Quanzhen. A series of blows had struck them. It could be imagined that for a long time in the future, Taoism would become the laughing stock and disdain of the demon descendants community. Its reputation would suffer a huge blow.

Such sensational news had also spread within the demon descendants community of various countries. In the eyes of the foreigners, the Taoist Venerable of Taoism was equivalent to the Pope. The Pope had committed such scandalous acts. This juicy news was able to transcend boundaries.

So many foreign friends had participated in the conference, and the first-hand information was spread directly. In the eyes of foreigners, the Chinese demon descendants community had suddenly become a turbulent place amidst troubled times. A lot of foreign demon descendants, who were just here to catch the show and were not interested in the Great Deities Palace, left the country immediately.

In the foreseeable future, China would become the focus of the whole world until the end of the furore surrounding the Great Deities Palace.

“Last time, in May 1944, the Japanese army attacked Chongqing with their swords, and sent hundreds of priests from Quanzhen Sect down the mountain to help the Chinese Army resist the Japanese invaders in this eventful autumn.”

“In such a rapidly changing time, Wang Chen was still an 18-year-old boy. His biggest dream was to earn Sister Taisu’s admiration, while his life goal was to marry Little Sister within ten years. For him, Sister Taisu was a goddess in his youth. She was beautiful, but could not be touched. Little Sister was a person who he could embrace. She was pure and within reach.”

“Soon, the young priest, who had been living in the mountains for a long time, lost his way in the world of mortals. He was taken into the kiln by his companions. The young man… He lost his virginity. Time passed fast… The author’s note: eight thousand words are omitted here. If you want it, chat me up in the mailbox. One word costs one dollar. You can learn about the night that Demonic Priest lost his virginity through written form. The author uses his character as a guarantee and will definitely describe what he saw with his own eyes in the most wonderful writing possible.”

“Well, the Demonic Priest’s story has come to an end today. Please click ‘follow’ and the author will update it from time to time.”

Li Xianyu put down his mobile phone, opened the window, and the sun was shining. The time was 2:30 P.<.

Three days had passed since Taoist Venerable’s death.

In a few days, a variety of news shocked the audience:

#Shocking, the current Taoist Venerable is the culprit of the chaos of Quanzhen#

#Between good and evil, revealing the past of the current Taoist Venerable#

#With the reform of society and the development of the economy, demon descendants are not cultivating their nature, which leads to the distortion of human nature. The matter of Taoist Venerable will become a warning to the rest#

#25 years after Priest Hua Yang’s fall, her soul returns, and the murderer is her elder sister, Immortal Hua Yu#

This kind of furore would not cool down for another month. In this event, in addition to Taoist Venerable and Demonic Priest, Li Xianyu and Li Peiyun inevitably became the focus of the topic.

Lightning King had been working hard for several days, and his public relations work was very good. He described Li Xianyu as a strong man who “stood up to justice at a time where it was needed”, which made him a hero amidst this uproar. At the same time, there was also a sense of helplessness at having been possessed by the lingering soul of Demonic Priest.

In this way, whenever outsiders mentioned Li Xianyu, they would change their opinion towards him, and even feel that he had a reason to intervene in this matter.

Taoist Venerable’s crime had been made public, but Demonic Priest’s name was not cleared. The Taoists would not clear his name for him; at present, there were different images of Demonic Priest being painted on the Internet.

#The spirit of Demonic Priest showed up at the Forum Conference, killing Taoist Venerable with one stroke, and nearly killing more than 100 spectators at the same time#

#Weighing the Demonic Priest’s merits and crimes, he doesn’t deserve sympathy#

There were countless similar news. Some people said that although Demonic Priest was wronged due to the times, it was a certain fact that he cooperated with the Japanese army to destroy the Cao family. Moreover, in the chaos of Quanzhen, he killed half of the demon descendants community and had a lot of blood on his hands. For whatever reason, the crime of him killing people could not be altered.

However, some people thought that the behavior of the Demonic Priest was justifiable. It was in self-defense. He wasn’t wrong, the times were.

Li Xianyu thought about it. The reason was that they didn’t know much about the past of the Demonic Priest. Everyone speculated, hence they had different opinions. No one but him knew the Demonic Priest’s life experiences.

At first, he was reluctant to publicise that memory and wanted to treasure it as a bitter and beautiful precious memory. However, before the spirit of the Demonic Priest returned to the land, he bestowed the sword of qi to him. Having reaped benefits off him, he had to clear his name.

Hence, on the platform with the highest traffic, he wrote the novel with the title, “My Encounters with Demonic Priest”. Li Xianyu’s real name was certified. After the first chapter was published, it quickly got a lot of attention. The next day, it dwarfed the enthusiasm surrounding Taoist Venerable. This was the first short serial novel in Li Xianyu’s life, which quickly spread all over the demon descendants community.

At the beginning, the netizens were skeptical. Some people deliberately unearthed the materials and events of that year and attacked his story according to the people and things in the novel, mainly the characters. They verified the authenticity of Li Xianyu’s serial novels, and found that they were true, and in fact, more detailed and comprehensive than the few remaining records.

Who would not be interested in the past of a peak Gokudo Path expert?

Li Xianyu finished washing up and looked at the comments section. In a few minutes, there were hundreds of people clamouring for a reply.

“I sent you 8,000 dollars and I’ve chatted with you privately. Please send those 8,000 words out quickly.”

“As long as what you say is true, I’ll give you 80,000 dollars.”

“Do you have any portraits of Sister Taisu and Little Sister? I want to buy them for a high price.”

“Hello, do you believe in Li Xianyu’s character too much? Is what he said believable? I don’t believe that there will be 8,000 extra words… The money has already been paid.”

“I’m more curious about the life of the Demonic Priest. Li Xianyu, please update quickly. Can I have two chapters in one day?”

“Hello, I’m from the publishing house. Can I have your mobile number, please? Baoze Group won’t give it to us. Our publishing house wants to buy the patent of your novel.”

Li Xianyu smiled happily. He was able to clear Demonic Priest’s name and earn money to support Great-Grandma. I am so smart.

During these two days, he drifted in and out of sleep. Demonic Priest had possessed him for a short time, which caused great pressure on his mental strength. If the previous time was an African chieftain’s manhood, this was one of a donkey. It was in the form of the Demonic Priest who possessed him.

Fortunately, Mother Hua Yang worked tirelessly to help him sort out his disoriented state and heal the wounds left behind by Demonic Priest.

Pushing open the door, the quadrangle was full of laughter. A dozen senior employees, such as Lady Killer, Kato Eagle and Li Bai, gathered to gamble. They had cigarettes in their mouths and a thick stack of banknotes in front of each other.

You Mengyu and Xia Xiaoxue served tea to the big guys. When the guys won money, they would reward them with some 100 dollar banknotes.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady lay on the chair with her legs up, looking at her cell phone and writing on paper with a pen. She was probably calculating her bill this month.

Cui Hua lay lazily on the ridge of the house with her hips up, drifting off to sleep in the sun.

Even as she was in human form, some habits couldn’t be changed.

Great-Grandma held the small loli, Tongtong, in her hands and turned her into a windmill, threatening, “I’m going to throw her over. If you don’t catch her, she will die or be disabled. King Kong, make a man’s choice.”

The little loli let out a series of screams.

King Kong was forced to the corner. The man, who was built like a bear, was about to cry. He cried, “Yamete, yamete, Great-Grandma. Please let me go. Please.”

He should have been thankful that among so many senior staff in the headquarters, only his phobia and Tongtong’s cursing ability could arouse Great-Grandma’s interest. As for the others, she did not bother with them.

Li Xianyu stood under the eaves. The sky was azure blue, the sun was bright, and the courtyard was full of laughter.

It’s good. This era is good.

“You’re up!” There was a sudden noise from the roof.

Li Xianyu was shocked. He looked up and saw that on the crossbeam on the top of the corridor, someone was winding around the crossbeam like a snake, and his body was tied with a knot like a rope.

“What the fuck, Luffy? What are you doing?” Li Xianyu said.

“I’ve been tied up here for three hours now because my predecessors said that I can develop abilities like this,” Liu Kongcao said.

“How’s it going?”

“Not bad. At the beginning, I was not used to it. I felt like my whole body was going to break. Later, I felt okay. I felt that I was one with the house. I watched you laughing and playing, and I was calm. Isn’t that what the Buddhists said, zen?”

“No, you’re just broken.”

Li Xianyu glanced at him and asked, “What about the Lightning King?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady raised her head and replied, “He went to do business. Today is the judgment day of Li Peiyun. The Taoist and Buddhist Association, along with Baoze, will discuss how to deal with him.”

Li Xianyu was stunned. In addition to watching the news on the Internet and seeing the netizens’ opinions on what happened in Lianghua temple, he didn’t pay attention to what Lianghua temple was up to.

“What are they going to do with Li Peiyun?”

“Kill!”

Li Xianyu was surprised. “Kill? Isn’t that too serious?”
