Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"This really wasn't done by me. Her aura was weak, and her cultivation level wasn't high. I myself am formed from resentment, so naturally there would be resentment spreading in this cave!"

"Moreover, she herself harbored resentment, but she was too good at hiding it and hadn't said it. Coming here naturally caused too much of her resentment to erupt all at once."

These things have nothing to do with me anymore, and look, she still has so much resentment she hasn't vented! And I think she also has resentment about you! —Guang

Chapter 184 The Help of Prayer Machines

Lin Yaoxie, who had almost gone mad after seeing Hua Rou's appearance, was about to teach Dao Ji a lesson. However, he did not expect Dao Ji to suddenly offer an explanation.

These explanations all seemed to make sense, which suddenly calmed the nameless fire within Lin Yaoxie. He looked at the prayer machine and listened to what it said.

At this moment, the Prayer Machine did not seem like a bloodthirsty, insatiable monster; instead, "903" appeared unusually simple and naive.

Lin Yaoxie didn't know why, but he actually had a rare understanding and a different interpretation of this ancient ferocious beast that everyone hated and loathed.

It seemed that this Prayer Machine wasn't as barbaric as the rumors suggested. Looking at Lin Yaoxie's expression, the Prayer Machine loudly repeated its sentence.

"Hey, did you hear me? I said your girl is caught up in self-reproach, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything to her!"

Lin Yaoxie suddenly came to his senses, and then remembered to ask the prayer machine:

"In your opinion, how can Hua Rou free herself from her resentment?"

I'm afraid no one in the Six Realms—no demon, monster, or beast—would ever imagine that Lin Yaoxie would stand with Daoji and have such a friendly conversation.

Daoji himself did not expect that he would not dislike this person at all, and even feel a sense of mutual respect, as if they had met thousands of years ago.

However, neither Daoji nor Lin Yaoxie knew the reason at this moment; they only felt that this feeling was quite strange. Daoji thought for a moment, then sat down again and said to Lin Yaoxie:

"There are a few ways. The first is for you to take her away from here. As long as she gets away from the power of these vengeful spirits, she may be freed on her own."

"However, there's no doubt that she'll find herself in the same predicament again next time she faces a similar situation!"

Lin Yaoxie looked at Hua Rou and thought for a moment, then asked Daoji:

"Is there any other way to completely free her from these resentments?"

The prayer machine thought for a moment, then hesitated before saying:

"That's fighting fire with fire. She buried her resentment for a long time, afraid to show it to others, which is why she became like this..."

"I think you should let her pour out all that resentment herself. That way, that resentment might turn into power and make her stronger."

Lin Yaoxie hesitated and said, "I know, but this could very well lead her to become like you and me, using resentment as a weapon, or even going mad!"

Daoji smiled and said, "That's true, but no one can say which way is best for her. After all, maybe she will only feel happy and completely relaxed if she enters the demonic path that ordinary people find terrifying?"

"Didn't you also not mind becoming a demon? 5.4 In this world, where are there so many right and wrong, black and white? Think about it carefully!"

Lin Yaoxie indeed fell into thought. Yes, who says that only entering the Heavenly Court and becoming a righteous sage praised by everyone is the right thing to do? Perhaps living in seclusion in a corner and cultivating the Tao for one's own enjoyment is also a good choice!

Perhaps what the prayer machine said is true; right and wrong are not for others to judge!

Chapter 185 Hua Rou's Hidden Aspects

The prayer machine offered two options and explained its reasons. Lin Yaoxie was never one to clearly distinguish between the righteous and the villainous; he always acted and made choices based solely on his own internal judgment.

However, he hesitated when it came to rescuing Hua Rou. After all, this was Hua Rou's life, and if he had to make a choice, Lin Yaoxie would no longer be deciding his own life.

Because Lin Yaoxie pays close attention to Hua Rou and cares about her a lot, if Hua Rou doesn't like this kind of life, but he makes the choice for her, wouldn't that ruin Hua Rou's future?

This is precisely why Lin Yaoxie has been hesitant to draw a conclusion. However, he never expected that he, alone in this desolate cave, would be able to see the world so clearly.

Yes, Daoji has indeed experienced many trials and tribulations, and his story deserves to be told in detail for a day or two.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie suddenly turned to look at the prayer machine and asked him:

"Why would you help me? You are, after all, an ancient ferocious beast. You wouldn't actually help me out of fear of my power, would you?"

"Besides, you just said you already know my weakness, but why didn't you take action? I know you don't really care about life, death, or cultivation! Because you've seen too much of life and death!"

Daoji suddenly laughed, then looked at Lin Yaoxie and replied:

“Indeed, I have lived for a long time and can talk to people like humans. I have seen far more than I can imagine. So I have seen your weakness, which is your strong sense of affection.”

"However, I never said I was really going to target your weaknesses. You might not believe it, but the moment I saw you, I felt a strong sense of familiarity."

“We are the same kind of people, so why would I hurt my own kind? There’s no need for that, and that’s why I’m helping you.”

Lin Yaoxie looked at the prayer machine, suddenly smiled, and then said:

"You might not believe it, but I had the same feeling the first time I saw you!"

At this moment, Daoji and Lin Yaoxie seemed to have broken through some psychological barriers, and the two of them laughed like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Then, Lin Yaoxie turned around, looked at Hua Rou, and said:

"I'm making this choice for you. No matter what situation you end up in, I will never abandon you or care about you!"

Then Lin Yaoxie sat down and began to cast his vengeful spirit on Hua Rou, in order to arouse Hua Rou's resentment and make her confront her resentment.

Sure enough, Hua Rou began to speak, "Father, brother! Why did you abandon me? Do you even love me? I am your daughter and sister!"

Hua Rou seemed to have thought of something again, and she began to say, "That's right, Father did it to protect me! It's a pity we were born into the demon race, otherwise Father wouldn't have had to make such a choice!"

Hua Rou's tears began to flow uncontrollably. Jingji said, "Tears are a good thing for her, it means she has let go of this resentment."

"However, deep in her heart lies an even deeper secret, and this secret is what has troubled her the longest."

Sure enough, Hua Rou began to calm down slowly, and then seemed to think of something else.

Chapter 186 Hua Rou's Fear of Demonic Possession

Lin Yaoxie kept a close eye on Hua Rou's situation so that he could help her in time, so he never dared to relax.

Fortunately, Daoji was always there to keep an eye on Huarou to see if she had completely eliminated her resentment. Daoji told Lin Yaoxie that Huarou's resentment had not been fully released and that there was still a deep secret hidden within her.

Although Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou had always been together, he didn't know what other grievances Hua Rou harbored besides those concerning her father and brother.

However, Lin Yaoxie could indeed sense that Hua Rou seemed to have something else on her mind, which she was reluctant to reveal and instead deliberately kept hidden.

Under the influence of Lin Yaoxie's spiritual power, Hua Rou finally began to calm down and gradually quieted down, as if she had entered into another event.

Lin Yaoxie didn't dare to relax either. Hua Rou hadn't fully woken up yet. If he wanted her to wake up, he would probably need to unlock her deepest secret.

Hua Rou seemed to have entered a beautiful dream. The corners of her mouth began to turn up slightly, and then her eyes and brows were filled with a smile.

She said, "Brother Lin, thank you for taking me with you all this time! Otherwise..."

"Brother Lin, if you're willing, I can acknowledge you as my master for life."

I really don't know where to go or what to do.

I am willing to be loyal to you and obey your commands!

"Brother Lin, how wonderful it would be if we could keep walking like this forever and never be separated."

Hua Rou went on to say a lot more, but this only confused Lin Yaoxie. He looked at the prayer machine and asked in bewilderment:

"This... Hua Rou was just talking about happy things, where did she get any resentment? Does this mean she's already recovered?"

Daoji laughed and said, "You don't understand girls, and you understand demon girls even less. They are always very proud, but she is willing to acknowledge you as her master."

"As I said, her other resentment is hidden very deeply. She won't say it so easily."

Lin Yaoxie could only nod. He really didn't know what unspeakable secrets might be hidden in such beautiful memories.

While Lin Yaoxie was pondering this question, Hua Rou suddenly fell into an uncontrollable fear. She began to sweat profusely, and then her hands and feet trembled.

By this time, it was completely dark outside, and suddenly a very strong wind picked up, indicating that a storm was approaching, and the sky was dark and gloomy.

Hua Rou gradually calmed down; the sweat on her forehead and the trembling in her hands and feet subsided. Then, a smile returned to her lips, and she began to speak slowly.

"Brother Lin, I wish we could stay together forever! We can definitely stay together forever (yes, you said you wouldn't abandon me, as long as..."

Suddenly, a thunderclap and lightning struck down outside the cave. Lin Yaoxie turned around and cast a spell, creating a protective shield around the cave entrance.

However, because of this, Lin Yaoxie was also unable to hear the last sentence of Hua Rou's words, "As long as Zi Yuehan is not here!"

So, when Lin Yaoxie turned around to look at Hua Rou, Hua Rou's lips had started to turn black!

Chapter 187 Lin Yaoxie Saves Hua Rou

Neither Lin Yaoxie nor Daoji expected that thunder would suddenly strike at this moment, and lightning would even appear at the same time.

This caused an unexpected problem in Lin Yaoxie's process of venting his resentment towards Hua Rou. Hua Rou had already revealed the last secret.

However, the sudden loud noise caused Hua Rou's mind to become scattered and uneasy. And that resentment gradually began to take over her mind.

After Lin Yaoxie had the prayer machine light up the cave, he saw that Hua Rou's lips and fingers had begun to turn black, which was clearly a sign that she was about to fall into demonic possession.

Hua Rou is of Qilong blood, and becoming a demon would be extremely painful for her. Lin Yaoxie didn't want Hua Rou to become a demon while she was unconscious, as he would feel extremely guilty towards her.

So he helped Hua Rou up and then began to use his powerful mental strength to gradually transfer the demonic energy in Hua Rou's body into his own.

For Lin Yaoxie, this demonic energy was of no harm to him, and might even become a source of strength for him when he was enraged and went mad.

However, Lin Yaoxie didn't want this demonic energy to enter the body of the girl he cared about; he couldn't bear to let another girl down.

Daoji also saw through Lin Yaoxie's intentions, and then comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, she's not deeply possessed by demons, it won't have too much of an impact."

"Moreover, I see that her resentment has already mixed with demonic energy. As long as the demonic energy is extracted from her body, she will no longer be controlled by these resentments."

Lin Yaoxie finally showed a smile. Just as he was about to exert his strength again to draw out the demonic energy, the Crimson Gold Ring suddenly rose into the air from his arms.

Then he began to replace Lin Yaoxie, gradually converting the demonic energy in Hua Rou's body.

Seeing this, Daoji momentarily forgot to breathe. He gently patted Lin Yaoxie's shoulder, then stared wide-eyed in shock at the crimson-gold ring before him, saying to Lin Yaoxie:

"You...you, it has recognized you as its master?"

Lin Yaoxie was puzzled by Daoji's strong reaction and could only nod blankly, looking at Daoji and waiting for him to continue.

"This...this crimson gold ring is probably older than me; it's a treasure left over from the primordial era. However, it has too much of a penchant for collecting vengeful spirits, which is why it was targeted by the righteous sects of that time."

It was abandoned here.

"You...you can rest assured...don't worry, this Crimson Gold Ring seems to trust you completely. As long as it takes action, your friend will be safe and sound."

As Daoji finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Lin Yaoxie looking at him. He then coughed a few times and continued, "I really didn't expect that it would recognize you as its master, but it seems that, upon closer reflection, it can be understood!"

Lin Yaoxie chuckled softly, then turned to look at Daoji and asked, "..."

"What does this mean? How can you understand it? Is there any necessary connection between us?"

By this time, Daoji had calmed down and looked at Lin Yaoxie with a smile, then said:

"Didn't I say it likes to collect vengeful spirits? And you, you can use vengeful spirits! This is the destiny that's bound to you two..."
