Chapter 315: Chapter 208: A Similar Flower?_2
Translator: 549690339
A well-proportioned monk with a masculine and handsome demeanor now emanates a faint glow, imbuing him with a dignified and grand bearing.
As his eyes sweep across the crowd, the previously noisy multitude falls silent. They all gaze at him with reverence, daring not to behave impudently, especially those who just witnessed the monk subdue a demon with his Purple Gold Bowl.
“Master, please look at these two children. Although Mr. Hu is human, his wife is a demon. Their offspring would be neither human nor demon, a hybrid. Why don’t you take them too?”
However, even the noble monk cannot suppress human hearts. Some people still babble, and surprisingly, aim their sharp words at the sobbing boy and girl who look particularly pathetic.
“Shut your bloody mouth, offspring of whores, who dare touch my children?!”
Seeing that someone intends to harm his children, the man who had just clung to the feet of the monk, begging and crying, now looks like a provoked beast. Wildness glimmers in his eyes, and his contorted face fiercely fixes on the woman who had just spoken.
This provokes the woman to retreat a step, hiding behind her man. Then, seeing the statuesque monk towering above the average man, she feels reassured and emboldened, she begins to shout,
“Master, look at this man. He must have been bewitched by the demon. He is clearly a demon-human hybrid. Please take them all away. We cannot have them stay here, or how can we live in peace?”
“Yes, Master, if the wife is a demon, their children must be demons too. This man has lived with a demon for so long, he is no longer normal. Please take them all away!”
Following the woman’s words, voices of agreement and approbation arise. The common folks despise and fear demons. Despite tales of love between humans and demons, there are also many stories regarding demons eating humans, even more so.
Therefore, when a demon appears around them, the natural reaction is to eradicate the demon, and reject anything associated with it.
The residents living nearby hope this venerable monk will remove the demon and everything related to it, leaving no regrets and causing no disturbance to them.
Passers-by who learn that the demon has been subdued by the monk feel leisurely enough to discuss freely. Indifferent and carefree, they come over to watch the spectacle.
“These two children were born of a demon? They don’t look it. Handsome kids! How could they be demons?”
“Can a demon’s methods be discerned at a glance?”
“Exactly, look at the girl, such remarkable features. Aren’t they beyond human capability?”
“Hey, it must be the charm of a demon spawn. If the Master doesn’t take them away, who knows how many men will be harmed when they grow up?”
Onlookers, who love excitement and spectacle, begin to discuss heatedly. They even comment on the children born from the union of a man and a demon. The sobbing man’s expression changes as he holds his children, showing ferocious eyes like a wounded tiger. However, he is incapable of confronting the growing crowd.
Moreover, his plain clothes suggest he is just an ordinary man of reasonable means, not someone connected to officials or nobles.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Feeling the surging malice in the people’s hearts, the monk again chants a Buddhist mantra. This time, his voice resounds like thunder in the crowd. The most noisy women feel dizzy, and the chatter in the crowd subsides.
“This humble monk only has the power to subdue and vanquish demons, he has no authority over human affairs!”
As he speaks, the monk glances down at the man, who like a beast, fiercely protects his children with a gaze filled with pity.
“All three of them belong to the Human Race, with no residue of Demon Qi on them. Fellow benefactors, you can rest assured!”
“Master, are you sure you didn’t missee?”
Even though the monk repeatedly reassures them, the issue involves their lives and property, and people remain skeptical.
When the blissful story of human-demon affection occurs close to them, what it brings to the people around is fear. After all, demons eat humans. Nobody knows when they might go insane, sneak into their homes in the middle of the night, and clean out their insides.
“Without doubt!”
The monk, with his profound understanding of Buddhism, soothes the terrified civilians. However, the spirits he just repelled return from all directions, and because of his actions, even more powerful spirits descend.
Boom—
The bright yellow divine light descended upon the street with a crash, exuding a majestic aura. Ordinary people failed to notice anything unusual, but cultivators of a certain level felt an overwhelming sense of oppression and suffocation.
An almost imperceptible hint of sandalwood fragrance diffused into the air!
This was Fengtian City!
The secondary capital of Da Jin, the old capital of the previous dynasty!
The city’s prosperity and wealth were unparalleled, far beyond what a normal Prefecture City could match. The city was home to millions, not including the transient merchants and warriors. With the prosperity of the Human Race, naturally, the divine Dao and spirits here also reached their peak.
The strength of the ghost gods in Fengtian City was something Feng Qing’an had never seen before. Even the weakest ghost god that descended here was the strongest that Feng Qing’an has met, but they were still not the strongest ghost god here.

Military Judge of Fengtian City!
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of the golden-armored figure standing thirty feet tall. If the Military Judge of Fengtian City was this strong, what level was the City God himself?
Emperor?
Very possible!
“Who is this demon monk? Daring to display divine power and sew chaos in civilian dwellings, confusing the public. Surrender immediately, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!”
The Military Judge, along with the officials and ghost enforcers who descended with him, combined their divine powers into one concentrated force, pressing down on the monk.
Regardless of the monk’s motivations, by taking action within the city, he violated their taboo. Did he behave as if they, a group of ghost gods, did not exist? Did he dare to demonstrate his divine power in front of the civilians? Who would the people worship in the future? There was no need for any added explanation! 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m
“Amitabha, this humble monk noticed a demon hidden here and took action to subjugate it when I saw no one else in charge!”
While the monk’s lips remained unmoving, a mighty Buddhist chant resonated all around in response to the ghosts’ questioning.
“Do you think we are blind? The Carp essence that resides here is a Spirit Cultivator that has never committed evil and has done much good. Today, you, a demon monk, exposed it, disturbing the peace. What is your crime?”
An official following behind the Military Judge revealed anger on his dignified face upon hearing the monk’s cunning defenses.
Bystanders like Feng Qing’an and other cultivators, who were drawn here by the commotion, were enlightened, and some even laughed inwardly.
“Does this monk think the ghost gods of Fengtian are blind? Haha, he caught a Carp essence as soon as he arrived. Isn’t this a slap in their face?”
“Which of the demons in the city isn’t allowed to stay here with the permission of the ghost gods? Which hole did this monk crawl out of to be so impertinent?”
“This is not a place for anyone to brazenly display their divine power. Even immortals must address the one in the City God Temple as fellow daoist. Who dares to act wild here?”
Hearing several snippets of whispered conversations that happened to reach his ears, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but show a strange expression.
In Fengtian City, there was a Ten Thousand Demons Tower and even a passage to the Ten Thousand Demon Nation. The tolerance level of the ghost gods here towards demons was far greater than that of ghost gods in other regions. Of course, causing harm to humans was still an irrevocable bottom line.
“Human-demon love, such a thing that goes against humanity and defies the natural order. Will you condone it?”
Only then did a few ghost gods react with visible anger. The monk standing amidst the crowd presented a solemn dignity, feigning anger. A golden Heavenly Dragon hovered behind him, intermittently visible yet invisible. The dragon’s aura, manifested for a moment, completely shattered the divine might pressing towards him.
