Killing the enemy with their hands, Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang suddenly felt a sense of relief in their hearts as they parted the dark clouds and saw the bright moon.
The two people left Gong Mi's body behind, returned to the place where the fierce battle had just taken place, and met up with Chen Songyan.
At this time, Chen Songyan regained some strength after a short period of meditation and breath adjustment, and was able to use the skill of sword control.
.~,
Because they were worried that there would be pursuers coming, the three people did not dare to stay here for a long time and hurriedly evacuated.
1 walked with swords on the road, using all their strength. After marching for most of a day, the three of them felt that their magic power was a little weak, so they found a dense forest, hid themselves, and took a short rest.
Baili Ming looked at Chen Songyan and asked:
"Senior Brother Chen, are you coming to Beihuang this time to investigate the matter of the Transformation Array?"
Chen Songyan felt something in his heart, and immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope, nodded and said:
"Yes, the main purpose of coming to Northern Wilderness this time is to explore whether there is collusion between the Guifang Clan and the Yao Clan, and whether there is a conspiracy against the Middle Earth, so as to remind the Dao Sect to make plans in advance."
Then he put on a posture of indignation and said sadly:
"I discovered the transformation circle by chance, so I went deep into the cave of the camp to investigate. I never wanted to be discovered by the demon clan. If I hadn't met you, I would have died heroically."
Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang were also sighing. They didn't expect that they and Chen Songyan would miss each other by chance. If Chen Songyan had visited one day earlier, or if he and he had visited one day later, the three of them would have met. Then they would have met.
You can now face the enemy calmly.
At this time, Chen Songyan looked at General Zhou who looked like a golden eagle flying demon with doubts on his face, and asked gently:
&!&
"Thank you for your generous help from this demon friend. I don't know what to call him?"
Zhou Jiang didn't know how to answer for a while. He was a little worried that after telling the truth, he would still not be accepted by the Taoist sect. He might as well "go away and hide his merits and fame."
When Bai Liming saw him in trouble, he understood his concerns, but this time was an opportunity. After all, Chen Songyan was the direct disciple of Shengyang Xingjun. The original successor of Xingjun in the future, although his strength was not high, he had a lot of talent at the beginning.
Yang has a certain right to speak.
If he could go back and say a few kind words to General Zhou, maybe the Taoist sect could break the convention of not accepting monsters and allow General Zhou to return smoothly.
Thinking of this, Baili Ming answered on his behalf:
"He is Zhou Jiang."
"General Zhou? Are you the General Zhou who died in Baoshan Hunting Ground?"
Chen Songyan looked at General Zhou in disbelief and asked quickly.
"Yes, I am that Zhou General. My human body died in Baoshan Hunting Ground, but by chance, my soul passed through the transformation circle and took away the golden eagle's demonic body. It turned into this."
Zhou Jiang tried his best to keep his expression calm and replied in a deep voice, but the slight tremor in his voice betrayed his uneasy mood.

Although Chen Songyan had previously spied on the two people walking together and had guessed General Zhou's identity from a few words, he was still stunned by surprise after hearing these words.
He suppressed his surprise and said warmly:
"Songyan thanks Junior Brother Zhou for his generous action. It's great to see you are still alive."
When General Zhou heard this, he was deeply moved. The other party did not show any indifference because of his current status. He said with a silly smile:
"Senior Brother Chen is serious. We are all from the same sect. Even if I have become a demon clan now, I still think in my heart that I am a human clan and a disciple of the Tao sect."
Chen Songyan nodded and responded:
"If you care about the human race, you will always be a human race. If you care about the Taoist sect, you will always be a disciple of the Taoist sect."
Hope arose in General Zhou's heart again, and he asked in a confused tone:
"Senior Brother Chen, do you think I can return to China and the Taoist sect?"
Chen Songyan lowered his head and said nothing. After a moment of silence, he analyzed:
p,.
"Returning to Middle-earth is not a big problem. After all, there is a precedent for the demon clan to join the human race. You have all heard of it and have been in contact with it."
Bailiming and Baili Ming understood clearly, but they still confirmed:
"Legacy of the demon clan?"
"Yes, they are the legacy of the demon clan, but if they want to join the Middle-Earth, they need to take the Transformation Pill to permanently maintain their human form in order to integrate into human society."
Chen Songyan explained further, and Zhou Jiang felt that there was no problem at all regarding the need to take the Transformation Pill. This was also what he wanted, to permanently retain his human form and become a human again.
When Bai Liming heard that there was a solution, she was also happy for her good friend.
At this moment, Chen Songyan reminded him bluntly:
"However, in this case, we will also face two problems."
"What problem?"
Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang's hearts trembled, and they hurriedly asked in unison.
Chen Songyan continued:
"1. Every once in a while, there will be a reversion to the ancestors of the demon clan's heritage. You need to hide it all the time and be on guard. And once it is discovered, Junior Brother Zhou will be resisted and ostracized by others. Can you bear it in your heart?
This series of pressure?”
General Zhou wanted to say yes, but he remembered that he met Shopkeeper Wu and Su Xiaer when he was training in Xijing. Shopkeeper Wu loved Su Xiaer deeply, but he was still worried about Su Xiaer's identity as a descendant of the demon clan.
, repressed and incomprehensible, eventually leading to being discovered by outsiders and becoming a test subject.
It was easy to take the Transformation Pill by himself, but it was difficult to live a normal life in human society. He was a little helpless and didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
Zhou Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then asked:
"What about the second problem?"
Chen Songyan couldn't bear it, but the reality was so cruel, so he tore it apart and laid it out first so that he could make a choice, so that he would not regret it in the future.
He looked at the restless General Zhou and said slowly:
"2. By taking the Transformation Pill, Junior Brother Zhou will lose all his Taoist cultivation, become a mortal, and will never be able to return to the Taoist sect. Can you accept this?"
When General Zhou heard this, he was stunned on the spot. His biggest wish was to return to Taoism.
--
But now this reality is like a bolt from the blue, which makes Zhou Jiang so shocked that he cannot accept it.
Taking the Transformation Pill by myself completely cut off the way to return to Taoism. I also had to bear the guilt caused by my identity and endure constant pressure.
Is it really worth choosing this path?
Looking at the helpless Zhou General, Bai Liming didn't know how to comfort him. Even if this matter was put on him, he couldn't make a choice.
No matter which road is ahead of us, it is a road full of thorns and the future is unpredictable.
The three people fell into silence. Only the cold wind blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, like a ghost whimpering and crying.
Bai Liming broke the silence, patted General Zhou on the shoulder and said:
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I don't think you need to make a choice now, General Zhou. Let's maintain the status quo and slowly look for suitable opportunities. Even if there is no opportunity, then we will create opportunities. Everything depends on man-made things, and man can conquer nature."
Chen Songyan opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.
In fact, he didn't feel that General Zhou had a second way to choose, and taking the Transformation Pill was already the best way.
Moreover, today is different from ten thousand years ago. Thousands of years ago, the various races did not have such sharp opposition today. However, now that the human race and the demon race have been fighting for thousands of years, the demon race has been imprinted in people's hearts as cruel, bloodthirsty, and beasts. 1
Such a general image, the two of them have been in a perpetual situation and it is difficult to change.
In the past ten thousand years, there has not been any demon race that has taken refuge in the Taoist sect. Their only choice is to take the Transformation Pill, live anonymously in human society, and live cautiously.
These living examples allowed Chen Songyan to see more clearly, but they also limited his thinking and his vision.
Chen Songyan could not understand, and could not understand, the great harmonious society that Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang hoped for in their hearts, so they said the words "create opportunities", so it was not Bai Liming's empty comfort to Zhou Jiang.
Bailiming looked at the silent Chen Songyan, changed the topic and said:
