Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 726 - 725: This Demon Clan is Up to No Good

Mianmian wanted to resolve the situation here quickly, and she traveled very fast on the Flying Sword; neither Liaoji nor Ling Xiao could keep up with her.

After a while, Mianmian saw the walking corpses that Liaoji spoke of. Their bodies were rotting away, and chunks of flesh fell off as they moved.

The Dark Qi exuding from these people was even more intense than that of the people who had been bitten to death in the town, making for a very uncomfortable sight.

"What exactly is this Dark Qi?" Mianmian murmured to herself.

Liaoji was taken aback for a moment, "Dark Qi?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Yes, they all have so much Dark Qi circling around them, and the Leader has the heaviest concentration. This Qi is somewhat similar to that which harms people, yet a bit different. What exactly is going on?"

Liaoji and Ling Xiao exchanged glances.

When they usually caught ghosts or Demons, they mostly felt Demonic Qi and Yin Qi; they had never seen Dark Qi "entwining" around someone like Mianmian was describing.

Perhaps this was the difference between an innate Spiritual Child and an ordinary cultivator like them?

"Why aren’t you talking? Shouldn’t we capture them all?" Mianmian asked, seeking her partners’ opinions.

Liaoji said, "No, we should first get to their destination before we capture them."

This decision was made out of fear that these creatures might have a special connection with the source of their creation. If they were discovered, even if they were to resolve the issue with these walking corpses, it would be of no use.

The three of them, two adults and a child, followed behind the army of walking corpses and flew for a long time until the walking corpses finally stopped in front of a waterfall.

Next to the waterfall sat a pitch-black figure.

As he watched the walking corpses, a curious smile appeared on his face with four eyes. The smile was eerily tinged with benevolence, as if he was looking at his beloved child.

It was Mianmian’s first time seeing a person with four eyes.

Curiously hiding, she stared at the four-eyed man very intently, occasionally touching her own face to imagine.

Liaoji knew right away that Mianmian was contemplating what having so many eyes on one’s face would look like.

After all, she was still a child, with an untarnished innocence. Yet, with the Demon Clan now made manifest, Su Mianmian was fated to not grow up slowly like a normal child would.

Liaoji sighed, "I’m afraid the Demon Clan is up to no good, intent on using the water to spread the Plague further. We must stop them."

Mianmian, having finished picturing herself with four eyes and finding she did not like it, clenched her Sword firmly, "Then let’s go and eliminate them, to prevent them from contaminating the water source."

Liaoji said, "Yes, this matter still relies on you, Little Benefactor. Only your Spiritual Power can completely destroy the Demon Clan. I will teach you a Dharma that can better stimulate your Spiritual Power, producing a wide-reaching effect. With the help of my Demon-suppressing Bell, we will strike a sure kill!"

Ling Xiao and Liaoji were also not very familiar with each other, having only spent time together recently. Ling Xiao had always heard that Master Liaoji was stoic and indeed possessed an air of a great sage. Today, seeing Liaoji busily arranging the extermination of the Demon Clan with incessant chatter, Ling Xiao realized that one truly had to personally interact with such individuals.

However, with all these arrangements, it seemed like there was nothing for him to do?

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Master Liaoji, what can I do then?"

Liaoji glanced at Ling Xiao, "You need to prevent these walking corpses from entering the water later. If one goes in, just bring it back."

The instruction was straightforward, and Ling Xiao accepted his task with a beaming smile.

The three began to cooperate. Mianmian had a good memory and quickly learned the Dharma Liaoji taught her. She flew into mid-air and, utilizing the shaking Demon-suppressing Bell, scattered her Spiritual Power around, touching the walking corpses and the Demon Clan below.

In an instant, Mianmian’s Spiritual Power mixed with the golden power of Buddha’s Dharma, forming gradually changing golden patterns that enveloped all the enemies on the ground.

The Demon Clan member, caught off-guard by the sudden interference and looking up to see what was happening, was struck by the ripples and immediately dissolved into a pool of black water.

The walking corpses, too, under the effect of these ripples, lost their vitality and fell to the ground, no longer moving.

Ling Xiao had been fully prepared to prevent the corpses from entering the water, alert and ready for action, but before he knew it, the matter had already been resolved without the need for him to lift a finger.

"That’s incredible, Little Mianmian, you’ve truly surprised me."

Mianmian hadn’t expected the power to be so great and asked Liaoji curiously, "Were they not very strong?"

Surprise was also visible in Liaoji’s eyes.

He had thought that, with Mianmian’s current strength, it would take her a long time to deal with the Demon Clan they had just faced. Yet Mianmian had only recited the Dharma he taught her once, and she had resolved both the Demon Clan and the walking corpses together.

Where was there any need for his guidance?

"No, it’s that you are very powerful," Liaoji candidly said, "With a heart full of compassion and such might, you are a blessing for the common folk."

The compliment brought a beaming smile to Mianmian’s face—who doesn’t like to be praised?

With the crisis completely resolved, the bones on the ground needed to be burned and buried, and the trio headed back to the town.

Liaoji took the initiative to explain to the townspeople who had come to ask that it was Mianmian who had killed the source of the Plague, garnering many more thank-yous for Mianmian. This time, no one mentioned any problems about Mianmian being with the Demon Clan; instead, even the Demon Soldiers joined in with gratitude.

Only the county magistrate, after asking Liaoji about the origins of the Demon and its capability to spread the Plague, was sincerely concerned.

Upon hearing Liaoji’s explanation, the county magistrate was profoundly shaken!

The Human Race had previously always focused on the Demon Clan, considering them the sworn enemy, eager to beat and kill at sight, not knowing that there was also a Demon Realm, where the truly vicious Demon Clan resided!

After pondering for a long time, and going back and forth in his mind, the county magistrate made a request to Liaoji, "Please master, enlighten us and reveal the truth."

In fact, when the county magistrate encountered the first Plague fatality, he had already sent a report to his superiors. His superiors accused him of being needlessly anxious, claiming that it was a time of good weather and abundant harvests, where could a Plague come from?

The refusal to provide support and even suggesting that, if it really was a Plague, he should lock the city gates and prevent its spread, had left the county magistrate in despair.

The emperor was unreliable, and how many of the emperor’s subjects could be? He had prepared himself, if an outbreak occurred, to die with his people.

Now having been saved and learning such critical information, the county magistrate felt he could no longer allow the people to remain ignorant.

Who the real enemy was, the people had to see clearly. Otherwise, if the Human Race continued to view the Demon Clan with such hostility, the next time Su Mianmian came to save them accompanied by the Demon Clan, they might be chased away and consequently, heartbroken, decide to no longer care for the Human Race.

After listening to the county magistrate’s heartfelt words, Liaoji smiled, "The people are fortunate to have you. I will hold a Dharma assembly here and reveal the truth to them."
