In less than the time to drink a cup of tea, at the foot of White Cliff Mountain, more than twenty Demon King level beings appeared!
Nearly half of these Demon Kings hadn't appeared in the world for hundreds of years.
Their sudden appearance not only caused a stir among the surrounding Demon Race but also left many Great Cultivators wide-eyed in disbelief.
"The Six-armed White Ape from Changbai Mountain? Didn't it die?"
"The Flood Dragon King from Yunmeng Marsh, wasn't it said to have fallen during its tribulation at sea? Why is it here?"
"The Peacock King from Shennongjia? It's still alive, wonderful! I was chased by an evil demon in the past and accidentally entered its territory; I owe my life to its rescue!"
The younger cultivators naturally couldn't recognize those Great Demons.
Only some of the elderly strong ones knew the identities of these suddenly arrived Demon Kings at the foot of White Cliff Mountain.
Without exception.
At this moment, the Demon Kings pleading for the White Snake were more or less those who had benefited from the White Snake Sisters' kindness and teachings in earlier years.
They were not entangled with karmic obstacles; on the contrary, many had accumulated great virtue.
Some of the surrounding Great Cultivators had even been helped by those Demon Kings in the past.
Seeing these familiar figures now naturally made many older cultivators so excited that their lips trembled!
Quite a few people even made slight movements, wanting to step forward to plead for mercy.
But most were pulled back by those beside them.
"This matter concerns the Buddhist-Daoist struggle; we mustn't take sides..."
With this meaningful statement, many people stopped their steps.
Their eyes were complex and their hearts were conflicted.
Recently, the Observatory Master of Qingfeng Temple not only shattered the reputation of the Buddhist Sect but also killed five Tower Guard Monks from Jinshan Temple, becoming a must-kill for the Buddhist Sect!
As for the Cyan and White Snakes, that goes without saying.
Their escape this time surely incited the thunderous wrath of Jinshan Temple.
If they not only went to plead for the sisters but also pleaded to the Observatory Master Qingfeng...
Should Jinshan Temple take revenge afterward, their thunderous fury would be unbearable...
"Sigh..."
Many people sighed lightly and, after weighing the situation, eventually withdrew their steps.
Whether it was the Buddhist-Daoist struggle or the issue between Jinshan Temple and the White Snake, this muddy water was not something ordinary people could wade into.
Of course, compared to the cultivators' concerns, the demons present had far fewer scruples.
Especially after recognizing that many of their ancestors appeared at the foot of White Cliff Mountain, many younger demons decisively followed them.
In just a moment.
The foot of White Cliff Mountain was already crowded with people, numbering in the thousands!
Thousands of demons kneeled at the foot of the mountain, pleading towards a small Daoist Temple.
"Daoist, please help!"
"We are all of the good kind; in the early years, we often listened to the Celestial Master's Daoist Skill, living a lawful life, never harming the innocent. Many of us took the Cyan Snake Immortal as a model."
"The Cyan Snake Immortal is truly a demon with a heart set on the Dao, and she has a thousand-year connection with Qingcheng Mountain and Daoism. We beg you, in the name of Daoism, to show mercy and save her life!"
"Please, Daoist, have mercy!!"
More and more demons who heard the news joined this vast and unprecedented plea.
This scene could be described as spectacular and shocking!
It stirred the hearts of countless cultivators around.
And in the distance.
The members of the Spirit Suppression Bureau also looked this way with complex expressions.
The strongest one from the Imperial Capital Headquarters couldn't help but whisper:
"Is this Bai Suzhen?"
"Indeed, even after eight hundred years, those old demons have never forgotten her..."
A colleague from the headquarters smiled slightly: "This is probably what young people call the 'white moonlight,' right?"
"Speaking of which..."
"Little girl."
"Do you think this Observatory Master Qingfeng will help her?"
Zhang Guohe, who held the position of one of the five elders in the headquarters, smiled and looked at Yan Tong.
Recently, Yan Tong had been noticed by a senior of the Imperial Capital Headquarters and accepted as a direct disciple. Her beautiful eyes showed a hint of complexity as she looked at the familiar figure on the mountain. After a moment of silence, her gaze became resolute as she said:
"He will, he definitely will!"
"Oh?" Zhang Guohe asked with interest, "To save that Cyan Snake, you'd need a Ninth Grade Elixir. A Ninth Grade Elixir is a rare treasure now. Do you think he would really give it up?"
Yan Tong took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes shimmering with unusual light.
"I believe he will!"
Zhang Guohe paused for a moment, looking at the little girl's determined expression, and suddenly understood something.
He smiled, turned to another of the five elders, and said:
"Old Chen, do you think the Buddhist Sect will tear their face over this?"
Chen Zhongshan's expression was upright, and he said solemnly:
"No."
Then he added.
"But Jinshan Temple will!"
Zhang Guohe nodded at this, sighed, and said:
"Yes."
"So this time, this Master Lin only has to face the retribution from Jinshan Temple."
"But who knows if he can withstand it."
...
In front of Qingfeng Temple.
Seeing the endless kneeling figures at the foot of the mountain, Lin Heng couldn't help but smile wryly.
He never expected.
That Bai Suzhen would have such a significant influence within the Demon Race.
Thousands of demons pleading for her together.
It must be said, this scene is indeed rare in the world.
And at this moment, the Black Bear Spirit, who had been hesitating to speak, finally cautiously said:
"Boss, maybe... help her out?"
Lin Heng looked at it.
It hastily explained: "Mainly, we and Jinshan Temple are already at a point of no return."
"The White Snake Sisters also have a millennium-old grudge with Jinshan Temple."
"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"The White Snake's cultivation is not weak. If she follows us, should Jinshan Temple become a real threat in the future, we'd have an extra ally, wouldn't we?"
"Also, there's another matter."
The Black Bear Spirit's expression suddenly turned mysterious.
Lin Heng slightly raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
The Black Bear Spirit glanced at the Cyan Snake down the mountain and whispered:
"Boss, you might not know, but the Cyan Snake's physique is extremely unique, an unparalleled cauldron."
"Cultivators around the world seek her assistance in their practice."
"Legend has it, even Fa Hai once considered using the Cyan Snake to assist his cultivation, although that was when he was troubled by his Heart Demon, which he quickly suppressed. So, the Cyan Snake remains a pristine cauldron to this day."
"You helped her sister out of Leifeng Pagoda before, and if you save her life now, I believe no matter what request you make in the future, she will agree!"
"So..."
Before the Black Bear Spirit could finish speaking, Lin Heng angrily rebuked.
"Ridiculous, what kind of man do you take me for?"
Seeing the boss angry, the Black Bear Spirit's expression tightened, hurriedly trying to explain.
However, the boss had already waved his hand, lifting the Mountain Guardian Barrier.
