Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"So, that's why I'm willing to guard this place for thousands of years. Even in the face of death, my second brother was thinking of me, and I can't let him down." "Therefore, if you want to obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass, the thing that can control my resentment will likely disappear. And you will also face danger."

Chapter 198 The Crimson Gold Ring's Spiritual Insight and Suggestion

The story of Daoji is unexpectedly convoluted and bizarre, and even more unexpected is his experience. He was once a prodigy, but he was killed by his own brothers.

His past experiences were what ultimately led him to become the ferocious beast people spoke of. However, no one was willing to listen to his story, and even fewer were willing to believe him, except for Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou at this moment.

The world often loves to define anything or anyone! And such definitions are often very one-sided and superficial, leading to the division of things into good and evil.

But the world isn't simply black and white; every person has a bright side and a dark side. Yet, no one seems willing to ask those people what caused the darkness in their hearts.

They are simply telling you to expel the darkness from your heart, otherwise you will be the enemy of all self-proclaimed righteous people, no one will let you go, and they will nail you to the pillar of historical shame.

Lin Yaoxie fell silent upon hearing Daoji's words. He understood that Daoji's words meant that as long as he took the Spirit Gathering Grass away, Daoji would revert to being that uncontrollable ferocious beast.

And what in this world can bring him peace and free him from the control of the resentment within him? If there is nothing, then he will continue to be the target of the world's condemnation.

Lin Yaoxie was also unwilling to see the prayer machine revert to being someone he couldn't control, so he was extremely conflicted. Yulan's life was hanging by a thread, and the Spirit Gathering Grass was the only way to save her.

The prayer machine also noticed Lin Yaoxie's hesitation, and then comforted him, saying:

"Don't worry too much. I'm just afraid that if I really lose control, it might do something bad to you. But I believe there's a way out."

Lin Yaoxie nodded, but deep down he wasn't entirely confident. If he wanted the prayer machine to stay in control, then something capable of controlling resentment needed to exist—that would be the only way!

However, how could he find a way to control vengeful spirits in such a short time? This was indeed a very thorny problem, and Lin Yaoxie's heart inexplicably burned.

Seeing Lin Yaoxie's state, Hua Rou was also extremely worried and anxiously tried to find a suitable solution. However, this resentment was always a forbidden power, and they knew very little about it.

At this moment, Hua Rou couldn't think of any other solutions. However, the burning sensation in Lin Yaoxie's chest intensified. He reached into his robes and pulled out the thing that had been causing him so much discomfort—the Crimson Gold Ring!

The crimson gold ring was shining brightly when Lin Yaoxie was inexplicably sucked into a space. Then, the crimson gold ring floated in the air and actually began to talk to Lin Yaoxie.

“Master, please don’t worry! I do have a solution, but I’m afraid it’s a bit risky for you and might have a negative impact on your image in the eyes of the world.”

Lin Yaoxie, however, couldn't care less about anything else and quickly looked at the Crimson Gold Ring, asking:

"What method are you talking about?" Guang asked.

Chapter 199 The Price of Recognizing a Master

Originally, Lin Yaoxie was unsure of what to do because of the connection between the Prayer Machine and the Spirit Gathering Grass. After all, Lin Yaoxie had already regarded the Prayer Machine as his friend.

However, only the Spirit Gathering Grass could save Yulan's life. Lin Yaoxie had never felt so conflicted and faced such a difficult choice.

However, it was precisely at this critical juncture that the Crimson Gold Ring suddenly began communicating with him, "September 13," through their bond of recognition. This was completely unexpected by Lin Yaoxie, as he had been preoccupied with these difficult decisions.

Suddenly, Chi Jinhuan told Lin Yaoxie that he could provide a way to control the prayer machine, keep it calm, and obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass to save Yulan's life.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie was naturally extremely excited, and then looked anxiously at the Crimson Gold Ring and said:

"Then tell me quickly! I don't care what price I have to pay! I can endure it all!"

The Crimson Gold Ring remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Actually, I have the ability to collect and control resentment. I can suppress the vengeful spirits wandering in the body of the prayer machine, and I think maybe I can also make him no longer have to let these vengeful spirits control his behavior and emotions."

Hearing this, Lin Yaoxie became even more excited. This was not only because he could have the best of both worlds: he could obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass and also avoid losing control of the forging machine.

More importantly, Lin Yaoxie genuinely hoped that Daoji could also be freed from the control of those vengeful spirits, become an individual, and do what he wanted to do.

Lin Yaoxie was genuinely happy for Daoji. As long as Daoji could control all the vengeful spirits inside those bodies this time, he wouldn't have to spend so much time guarding this desolate Cangwu Mountain anymore.

Lin Yaoxie was already overjoyed to hear this. However, the Crimson Gold Ring then said to him:

“Master, please don’t be too happy yet! I can help with the prayer machine, but you two need to discuss it. There will be some process involved, and you two will also need to pay a price.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie's initial excitement suddenly subsided, and he asked the Crimson Gold Ring with a puzzled expression:

"What process? What do we need to do? Explain yourself!"

The Crimson Ring continued, "Because I have already acknowledged you as my master, if I wish to help the Prayer Machine control the vengeful spirits, I need your permission..."

Lin Yaoxie calmly replied, "Of course I agree to that. Is there anything else you haven't mentioned? It's okay, just tell me everything at once!"

Crimson Gold Ring finally stopped hiding it and continued:

“I need to wear the prayer machine on my body for a long time to release and control the vengeful spirit on it, but since I have already acknowledged you as my master, if I wear it on him, he will become your spirit beast…”

This was a huge amount of information for Lin Yaoxie. "You mean, if you want the Prayer Machine, then the Prayer Machine must acknowledge me as its master?"

The Crimson Gold Ring remained silent for a moment, then replied, "Indeed, theoretically it must be so!"

Chapter 200 Lin Yaoxie Emerges from the Spirit Communication Bureau

The Crimson Gold Ring had said far too much in a short time. Lin Yaoxie clearly hadn't expected that making things perfect would require Daoji to pay such a price. Lin Yaoxie understood that this wasn't a decision he could make, as it concerned Daoji's future fate, and forcing him would likely be bad for everyone.

The Crimson Gold Ring obviously wouldn't lie, so this method is the only one that can solve the current predicament.

Lin Yaoxie was struggling to process what he had just heard, completely stunned and at a loss. But at this moment, the Crimson Gold Ring suddenly spoke again:

“Master, you really need to think this through carefully now. Because these things are not just a matter of whether the Prayer Machine can accept them, because once you make the Prayer Machine your divine beast, you will inevitably be condemned by the people of the Six Realms.”

"Moreover, as far as I know, you have already had some unpleasantness with the Heavenly Court. If you make such a decision now, you will probably become even more prominent and attract resentment."

"These are all very disadvantageous to you, so this matter is not easy for either you or the prayer machine. You must think it through carefully."

Lin Yaoxie asked, "How did you know about my previous unpleasantness with the Heavenly Court?" The Crimson Gold Ring replied somewhat nervously, "I'm sorry, Master! During my spiritual communication, I accidentally glimpsed your spiritual sea and witnessed that scene! Please punish me!"

Lin Yaoxie smiled and replied easily, "It's alright. We've already pledged allegiance to each other. If you had seen that scene, you would know that I'm not afraid of their pursuit!"

"I have always disdained associating with hypocritical scoundrels, so a battle between us is inevitable; it's only a matter of time. I don't care about that!"

"However... it might be difficult for Daoji to acknowledge me as his master! After all, he was once the son of the Northern Heavenly Emperor, and he is proud and confident! How could he easily acknowledge someone else as his master?"

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Gold Ring replied, "Master, why don't you ask him? Perhaps the Prayer Machine doesn't think that way! In any case, you should inquire; perhaps there will be a turning point!"

"After all, this is also a joyous thing for him—the chance to regain his freedom! What do you think?"

Lin Yaoxie thought for a while before raising his head and saying seriously:

“Indeed, I’ll go ask him right now!”

Lin Yaoxie suddenly opened his eyes, and then he saw the worried Daoji and Hua Rou. They were surrounding him, looking at him nervously.

When Hua Rou saw Lin Yaoxie open his eyes, she quickly ran to him and anxiously asked:

"Brother Lin, how are you? What happened to you just now? You scared me and Daoji!"

Lin Yaoxie smiled, then patted Hua Rou's shoulder and said to her with a smile:

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry! I just got a solution from the Crimson Gold Ring that can satisfy both sides! However, this solution still needs the Prayer Machine's approval."

Daoji looked into Lin Yaoxie's eyes, then asked suspiciously, "What method? Tell me!"

Chapter 201 The Choice of Prayer Machine

Lin Yaoxie suddenly woke up, and just then, Daoji was looking at him nervously. After thinking for a moment, he still felt that he had to tell Daoji about this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it would be impossible to proceed.

When Daoji heard Lin Yaoxie say that he had a solution that would satisfy both sides, he looked at Lin Yaoxie with great interest and asked what the solution was.

Lin Yaoxie was still somewhat hesitant, unsure of how to bring it up. After all, these costs might be a disgrace to the prayer machine, but it seemed that he was the one who would benefit.

However, in the end, Lin Yaoxie gritted his teeth. Whatever the final choice of the prayer machine was, Lin Yaoxie had to listen to it and respect it.

After all, without his consent, it would be extremely difficult for Lin Yaoxie, the Crimson Gold Ring, and Hua Rou to achieve these things. Moreover, it would be a huge waste of time, and for Yulan and Wuxing at this moment, time was of the most important thing.

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment, walked up to the prayer machine, and looked at him, saying:

"Just now, my spiritual consciousness suddenly became scattered because the Crimson Gold Ring used a psychic technique, and we entered the same space. Then he told me that there was a way for us both to achieve our goals."

The prayer machine did not interrupt him, but simply watched him quietly, and then let Lin Yaoxie continue speaking.

"However, while this method will allow me to obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass and also give you control, it comes at a price that is difficult to accept!"

"With your consent, the Crimson Gold Ring can be worn on your body. It can not only suppress the vengeful spirits in your body, but it will also gradually dissolve the vengeful spirits in your body, so that you will no longer be controlled by these vengeful spirits."

"However, since he has already acknowledged me as his master, if he were to use his power on you, you would need to have a common connection—that is, me!"

"If he wants to help you control the vengeful spirit, you must also acknowledge me as your master! Only then can all of this be accomplished! Therefore, this matter must be a very difficult decision for you."

"However, you can make your choice. I won't force you. If you really can't accept it, we can think of other ways. After all, we still have time."

After hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, Daoji became somewhat uncertain. He looked at Lin Yaoxie and repeated:

"~Acknowledge you as master? Is this the only way?"

Lin Yaoxie nodded reluctantly, and Daoji slowly sat down next to the Spirit Gathering Grass. He stared intently at the Spirit Gathering Grass beside him for a long time without saying a word.

Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou didn't disturb him. Hua Rou just looked at Lin Yaoxie with some confusion and then asked:

"Brother Lin, if you and (Nuodehao) keep your distance, your relationship with the Heavenly Court will probably get even worse in the future!"

Lin Yaoxie just smiled and said, "It's alright, none of this matters!"

Hua Rou didn't ask any more questions, but simply looked at Lin Yaoxie and smiled happily. Dao Ji stared at the Spirit Gathering Grass for a long time, then finally stood up, turned around, looked into Lin Yaoxie's eyes, and said seriously:

"I agree to acknowledge God!"

Chapter 202 Prayer Machine Recognizes Master Lin Yaoxie

Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou had already given up hope that Daoji would agree to acknowledge him as their master, since Daoji had always been so proud and would never be willing to submit to anyone.

Moreover, the power of the Prayer Machine has been legendary since ancient times. How could such an ancient ferocious beast submit to a human? This is utterly unbelievable.

Moreover, seeing how much Daoji cherished and was reluctant to part with that Spirit Gathering Grass, it was, after all, the last thing his second brother left him. How could he be willing to give it up so easily?

This problem is undoubtedly unsolvable. Taking away someone else's precious possessions, or the life of your friend, lover, or beloved, is something no one can bear to give up.

However, no one could have imagined that after such hesitation, Prayer 917 would resolutely make its own decision. He looked at Lin Yaoxie and solemnly said:

“I can acknowledge you as my master! You were willing to make me your spirit beast despite all the objections, and even in the face of the accusations from the people of the Six Realms, you were willing to take me from this desolate Cangwu Mountain to a new world.”

"You might attract a lot of unnecessary trouble and persecution because of this, but you don't care. So why shouldn't I do something for you?"

"The Spirit Gathering Grass that my second brother left me has already fulfilled its purpose, and now it should do something truly meaningful. I think this is what my second brother would want to see!"

"You need not doubt. Although I was once the son of the Northern Heavenly Emperor, so many years have passed that I no longer hold those false titles."

“Just like you, I don’t care anymore! Besides, from the first moment I saw you, Lin Yaoxie, I felt like I had met you before. I think you look a lot like my second brother.”

"That's why I was willing to give you the Spirit Gathering Grass, all because of you! Perhaps this really is fate, I am destined to fight alongside you!"

"Rest assured, from now on I will be loyal to you without reservation, and I will protect you even at the cost of my life! This is my duty as your spirit beast. Becoming your spirit beast is perhaps the best choice."

Do you believe me?
