Mu Jinyu left the small building where Arhat and the others stayed, calling for a carriage while informing Wu Shisan and Wang Hu to come over, preparing to set out for support.
From the text message sent by Li Yaotong, he learned that the situation in Capital City was critical. The Knocking Ghost, the Nursery Rhyme Witch, and those Level Four and Five Great Demons, which initially were just passing through Capital City before disappearing, were now all gathered in a certain school within the city.
If they found what they were looking for and decided to leave Capital City, it would be fine as long as they didn't create a scene. But if they were to casually indulge in some "snacks" before leaving, an unprecedented great disaster might befall Capital City!
Such a number of demons was no laughing matter!
Of course, this was also an opportunity. If they could keep them all there, then the global chaos caused by these demons could be greatly reduced, and their future burden would not be so heavy.
At that time, as long as the disasters like the Tide of Chaos and the first demon possessing Xiang Mantang were resolved, the dark turmoil would essentially come to an end.
Upon receiving Mu Jinyu's notification, Wu Shisan and Wang Hu also hurried out.
Emerging from their dormitory, they saw Mu Jinyu and were momentarily stunned, instinctively sensing that Mu Jinyu's situation was similar to theirs, both having subdued demons.
"Dragon Master... you?!"
Wu Shisan came to his senses, his expression turning to one of amazement.
Mu Jinyu said, "Don't be too surprised, let's go, let's set off!"
"Yes!"
Wang Hu's originally languid expression, upon sensing the terrifying threat emanating from Mu Jinyu, immediately became serious and focused.
He had previously thought that only he and Wu Shisan were Demon Whisperers in Dragon King Hall. He indeed had started to see himself as quite important, and his mindset was somewhat inflated.
But when he realized that Mu Jinyu had subdued a demon without showing any abnormal signs or making any noise, he understood the terror of Mu Jinyu as the Dragon King.
The three of them got into the car, with Wang Hu driving, and sped towards the Spirit Communicative Ghost School.
On the way, both Wu Shisan and Wang Hu turned pale when they learned from Mu Jinyu the number of demons they would be facing.
Damn it, with so many demons rampaging in a school and just the three of them going to face it, wasn't that suicidal?
Wu Shisan was better off, after all, being a Sub-hall Master of Dragon King Hall, he understood his responsibilities. Many times, even if he did not want to go, he had no choice.
If these Demon Whisperers didn't go to solve this matter, then who else could?
Wang Hu, having joined Dragon King Hall not so long ago, couldn't help but complain:
"Dragon Master, according to what you've said, there are at least thirty demons inside, and just the three of us going in, isn't that pure suicide? Isn't there any support?"
Mu Jinyu replied, "There is. This sudden situation isn't just for Dragon King Hall to solve. Brilliant Divine Authority, Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Way of Nature, Fallen Splendor, all of them will send people over!"
"But when they come, can they really solve it?" Wang Hu asked timidly. "I feel like we still won't be able to withstand them?"
"We must withstand even if we don't think we can!" Mu Jinyu said sternly. "Do you intend to shrink back at the sight of numerous demons, and let them carry out their bizarre actions, then leave to bring chaos to the entire Capital City?"
"Your family is in Capital City now, right?"
Mu Jinyu suddenly asked.
"Yes... yes..."
Wang Hu nodded.
Mu Jinyu said, "Do you think that by going back now, taking your family out of Capital City, and avoiding this once, you can be safe and sound?"
Wang Hu didn't speak, his expression rather awkward.
Indeed, he had been entertaining such thoughts.
Thinking that if he could hide, he would.
Mu Jinyu sneered, "But you avoided it this time, what about next time you encounter such a situation? How many times can you avoid it? When the entire world becomes wasteland and there's no place left for humankind, can you still avoid it?"
"This time, even if we can't imprison all these demons, at least we can imprison a large portion!"
"That way, if there's another demon rebellion, even if we sacrifice ourselves in this event, we can help relieve some of the burden for those who follow!"
Mu Jinyu said this with a determination to die if necessary.
"I understand now..." Wang Hu, whose thoughts had been wavering, felt a hint of shame in his eyes as they became firm again after Mu Jinyu's words.
He remembered the reason he had joined the Dragon King Hall in the first place, wasn't it to protect his home and country?
Now, it was precisely the time to protect his home and country, yet he had thought of retreating because of his fear of the demons.
Mu Jinyu saw Wang Hu's previously wavering eyes become firm again in the rearview mirror, sighed lightly, and said, "It's my incompetence that forces you to risk your lives with me..."
"Dragon Master, you shouldn't blame yourself. The world turning out like this is beyond our expectations, and besides, you were recovering from your injury at that time..." Wang Hu consoled.
Mu Jinyu just shook his head and didn't speak.
His self-blame came partly from his own powerlessness against the chaotic demon uprising, and partly because the dark turmoil was triggered by Xiang Mantang in order to save him.
He couldn't blame Xiang Mantang, after all, the disaster was caused while trying to save him. Therefore, he could only blame himself for not waking up earlier, or for not dying completely. If he had, Xiang Mantang wouldn't have had the thought to save him, and perhaps this catastrophic dark turmoil might never have happened.
He wondered how Xiang Mantang was doing now.
Whether Jian Ruyan had found him, and whether she had found a solution.
The rest of the way, there was no further conversation.
Half an hour later.
They arrived at the school gates that Li Yaotong had informed them about.
The car stopped at the entrance to the school, and Mu Jinyu, along with Wu Shisan, got out.
Standing in front of the entrance guardrails, Mu Jinyu looked at the pitch-black school that was completely invisible in detail and felt a terrifying danger!
There must be so many demons gathered together for their demonic aura to be so dense that it interferes with one's vision, rendering one completely blind even with eyes open.
"Dragon King, you've finally arrived!"
While Mu Jinyu was surveying the scene inside the school, a familiar voice rang out.
Li Yaotong walked out from a newspaper stand nearby.
"Hmm."
"Hmm?"
Mu Jinyu had just casually responded as a greeting.
But his glance swept over Li Yaotong, detecting an extremely intense sense of threat; his gaze immediately sharpened as he fixated on Li Yaotong, full of surprise and uncertainty.
The last time they met, he hadn't felt such a terrifying demonic aura from Li Yaotong. How had it been that in just over a day Li Yaotong had tamed several demons?
Had he mastered a more ingenious method to tame them without considering the risks, thus controlling several demons successively?
Or was it because he himself had not tamed any demons before, so even knowing Li Yaotong had tamed them, he hadn't been deeply affected, but now that he had tamed a Ghost-Faced Demon, seeing Li Yaotong and discovering his demon power, he felt it profoundly?
Seeing Mu Jinyu looking at him with shock and suspicion, Li Yaotong smiled slightly and said, "Dragon King, you need not look at me that way. Haven't you successfully tamed two Ghost-Faced Demons within a day? Once this matter is resolved, if there is a suitable demon for you, I will help you tame the third..."
"Is that so?" Mu Jinyu heard Li Yaotong's explanation and understood that he really had found a more perfect method to tame demons.
"Then..." Mu Jinyu paused, Li Yaotong turned his head towards the school entrance and nodded with his chin, saying, "Let's go in then!"
