Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

["This place is desolate and uninhabited; there is no way for the Demon Race to cause chaos. Senior Brother Lu Tong, why do you want us to apprehend this harmless Demon King? Is there any hidden agenda behind this?"]

[Ao Bing stared sharply at Lu Tong, speaking in a low voice.]

["Indeed, there is a hidden agenda. These beasts are extremely vicious, having harmed countless people in the mortal cities before fleeing to this place. Both of you possess extraordinary strength; this Demon King stands no chance against you."]

["But the local people are unarmed, powerless against these beasts. It is the duty of our Demon Hunting Team to slay demons and eliminate evil, and we will not tolerate a single demon harming the mortal world!"]

[The Infinite Immortal Elder swiftly arranged this task, and Lu Tong obviously didn’t have time to prepare a fabricated "crime", so he casually made up a grandiose reason to muddle through. He waved his hand, signaling the Demon Hunting Team of the Jade Void Palace to step forward and escort the captured "Demon King clan" back to the palace.]

["Of course, the Little Demons who are not guilty of death will receive righteous teachings in the Jade Void Palace. For them, it might not be a bad thing." Lu Tong added.]

[These words are full of holes, hard to justify. Lu Tong assumed he could deceive easily, seeing Nezha and Ao Bing’s master absent and considering the two young.]

[Although Nezha and Ao Bing are only three years old since birth, they are not ignorant children. They came to the Jade Void Palace to seek treasures to extend their own "lives" but have their own judgment of "good and evil".]

[Good and evil are not determined by the Jade Void Palace alone but must be seen to be believed.]

[Here, there is no witness, no evidence, no motive. What Senior Brother Lu Tong said is truly suspicious.]

[Nezha frowned, about to step forward to question Lu Tong, but was stopped by Ao Bing with one hand.]

[Ao Bing secretly transmitted his voice, "Nezha, don’t act impulsively. Confronting him directly will alert him, and Senior Brother Lu Tong is unlikely to tell you the truth. Later, we will quietly follow the Demon Hunting Team and see where Senior Brother Lu Tong takes these Demon Races."]

He paused for a moment, continuing to communicate, "I have heard that the Demon Hunting Team of the Jade Void Palace has been established for a thousand years. Although it is claimed to impart righteous teachings, it seems no demon has ever left the Jade Void Palace."

[The doubts in their hearts grew deeper, but they did not expose Lu Tong on the spot. They exchanged a tacit glance and decided to hold back for now, investigating the truth behind the matter in secret.]

[Although Nezha is impetuous, he has a knack for performance. He put on a look of indignation on his face, yet secretly transmitted to Ao Bing, "I just learned a Transformation Skill from Master, next time you act alone, Ao Bing, I’ll investigate in secret."]

[The Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus concerns their lives; they must continue the evaluation in the Jade Void Palace.]

[Ao Bing responded in his heart, "Alright."]

[The two quickly reached a consensus, determining their tasks.]

[Ao Bing held Nezha back, stern-faced, admonishing, "Nezha, it’s better to do less than more, demons are demons, don’t forget why we came! Don’t lose the bigger picture over small matters!"]

["Hmph!" Nezha turned his head away.]

[Lu Tong did not notice anything unusual about the two, just glanced indifferently at Ao Bing who was holding Nezha. Hearing Ao Bing’s words, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he thought to himself, "There’s such a big flaw, yet no deeper investigation. It seems this Third Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Bing, is just this much."]

[The news of the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang attaining "Daluo Golden Immortal" was like a thunderbolt, shocking the entire Golden Immortals of the Expository Teaching. As an intimate confidant of the Infinite Immortal Elder, Lu Tong was naturally aware of this matter.]

[In the master’s Infinite Immortal Elder’s headache towards the East Sea Dragon King’s affairs, Lu Tong offered strategies and counsel.]

[Lu Tong and He Tongxin, toward the West Sea Dragon King, North Sea Dragon King, and South Sea Dragon King who dared to openly raise troops against the Celestial Court for the thousands of water races hunted by the Demon Hunting Team a thousand years ago, always harbored a slight admiration. They knew well that although the Three Sea Dragon King’s actions seemed a bit foolish, their courage and determination to fight for their clanship made them admirable.]

[Especially Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang’s words "equality of all spirits", which made Lu Tong and He Tongxin secretly nurture a slight hope.]

[The two of them jointly persuaded the Infinite Immortal Elder not to disturb the closed Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, but to let the East Sea Dragon Clan develop on its own, hoping that one day, the "equality of the ten thousand spirits" of the First Generation Celestial Court could be reembodied.]

[Seeing Ao Bing’s display now, Lu Tong felt disappointed. In his view, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang might just be using the slogan of "First Generation Celestial Court", but actually intending to establish his own power, no different from the Expository Teaching, Jie Sect, Human King, or Celestial Court.]

[Like father, like son.]

[The East Sea Dragon King is already transcendent, naturally, there is no need to strive futilely.]

[In a world where the weak are prey to the strong and the Immortal Families rule, being born as a demon, one can only rely on the Immortal Family to have a place.]

[Living is the instinct of life and also a helpless choice.]

[The Demon Hunting Team marched on majestically, Lu Tong said to Nezha and Ao Bing: "Two junior brothers, you’ve worked hard today, take a day off. Continue the assessment tomorrow."]

[Nezha and Ao Bing nodded respectfully on the surface, but had already made plans in their hearts.]

[Later at night, Ao Bing lightly crafted a puppet Nezha that was indistinguishable from the real. The "Mixed Element Pearl" is inherently close to heaven and earth, close to the Dao, incomparable to mortals, and common magic cultivation for a moment can become entry-level.]

[Afterwards, Nezha swiftly performed the Transformation Skill, transforming into an inconspicuous little bird, flapping his wings toward the direction of the Demon Hunting Team, silently following the team, keeping his eyes locked on the escorted Demon Race.]
