Chapter 1916 1.1915 All things in the world are mutually restraining and mutually generating.

"Well done!" the old black sheep spirit shouted, then crashed headfirst into the drum.

"Boom—" The drumbeat resounded loudly.

The shockwave was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, a colossal wave surged into the sky.

Countless ghostly claws converged into a pair of enormous demonic claws, encompassing mountains and seas, descending upon them.

Axe blades clashed head-on with claw blades. Sparks flew as Left Protector Sai Xiaojing tumbled to the ground. The enormous demonic claw, undeterred, slammed down, determined to crush its formidable enemy, axe and all, together.

"You demonic cultivator, you're courting death!" The words of Right Protector Xiahou Ying still echoed in his ears when the Nine Swords of Dugu were already unleashed in an instant. The sword energy crisscrossed and cleaved, dismembering the pair of enormous demonic claws that lunged out from the left and right. Before they even hit the ground, they transformed into malevolent energy, plunging into the giant drum.

Now we see clearly. This giant drum is the source of the evil and distortion.

"It's a sheepskin drum!" With the help of the magic pearl, Princess Li Huixin, the strategist, saw through the true nature of the giant drum: "The drum has a sheepskin surface and a sheep bone frame. This drum is the transformed corpse of the Black Sheep Demon!"

"So you couldn't defy fate after all!" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing exclaimed.

"Hahaha—" The old black sheep demon laughed loudly, his face like a fierce ghost: "I misjudged people and brought trouble upon myself. Fortunately, I was protected by the Buddhist scripture 'Mahamudra' and was able to come back to life. Now I am spreading good deeds to liberate wandering ghosts and lonely souls. What does that have to do with you!"

"The evil energy has entered her body, destroying all her cultivation. She's gone mad, becoming a demon without even realizing it. How can she transcend others!" Right Protector Xiahou Ying unleashed his nine swords, engaging the female ghosts in a fierce battle. These female ghosts, blinded by evil spirits and deeply bewitched by the demonic path, each possessed considerable magical power and were no innocent victims. Right Protector Xiahou Ying, however, was unwilling to kill them. After all, they were all victims, their crimes not deserving of death.

Of course, the key is to bring them under our control and fill the gaps in the Demon Hunting Sect. And of course, the most important thing is to integrate them into the constellation and illuminate the microcosm.

Yes. This is the most, most, most important point.

The nine swords are in perfect harmony with their master's mind. Seemingly invincible in their sharpness, they avoid vital points, striking from the sidelines. The beautiful female ghosts and maidens on the scene sway and flutter like willows in the wind, appearing to be in grave danger, but in reality, they are as steady as Mount Tai, escaping unscathed.

This is precisely why Right Protector Xiahou Ying had to devote most of his energy and sword skills to this attack. Therefore, the main offensive was handed over to Left Protector Sai Xiaojing.

"Jingmei, let's finish this quickly."

"Hmm!" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing combined her two axes and cleaved Mount Hua with her might.

The axe's aura cleaved through the air like a stampede of ten thousand horses, slashing towards the giant sheepskin drum.

"Thump—" The old black sheep demon stomped his feet heavily, and the drumbeats rang out.

A pair of demonic claws clasped together in mid-air, forcefully trapping the axe energy in their palms. Then, they exerted force from both sides, crushing the axe energy.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh—" Unexpectedly, the Five Elements True Qi scattered, turning into countless axe shadows, wildly slashing around the demon's body!

With the axe blade aimed at his neck and his life hanging in the balance, the old black sheep demon suddenly vanished in a flash, transforming into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the giant sheepskin drum.

The drums thundered, shaking the earth and mountains. Rows of Buddhist scriptures appeared out of thin air, instantly covering the drums and releasing boundless Buddhist light. However, before the Buddhist light could completely purify the female ghosts present, it exploded into eerie phosphorescent flames with a "bang." In the gusts of cold wind, the Black Sheep Demon finally revealed its true form.

All that could be seen was a skeletal frame wrapped in black sheepskin, and a fierce, malevolent talisman tattooed on the emaciated sheep's head. Two balls of burning phosphorescent fire flickered from the curved horns, shrouding the entire dining hall in a gloomy and desolate atmosphere.

It was eight feet tall from hoof to back, and twelve feet long from head to tail. What a magnificent black, hungry sheep!

Though thin, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. This black sheep spirit entered the realm of hungry ghosts, one of the six realms of sentient beings, through the *Mahamudra* Buddhist scripture. The realm of hungry ghosts is also called the realm of hungry ghosts. Because some ghosts, such as yakshas and rakshasas, possess great power, the new translation simply uses the word "ghost" without adding "hungry." However, older translations of scriptures and treatises mostly use the term "hungry ghost," as hungry ghosts are the most numerous among ghosts. According to records, hungry ghosts are constantly hungry and deprived, hence the name "hungry"; they are also fearful and timid, hence the name "ghost." These ghosts are weak and ugly, inspiring fear in all who see them. They live year after year without food or drink, either dwelling in the sea or near mountains and forests, experiencing more suffering than joy, but with long lifespans spanning countless eons. Because of their past greed and jealousy, they deceived others, and thus fell into the realm of hungry ghosts.

Because they constantly suffer from the torment of hunger, hungry ghosts devour all external spirits and all other creatures. Hungry ghosts mostly endure the unbearable pain of wandering in darkness, suffering from unbearable thirst, while also being oppressed by the more powerful beings in their realm. In the six realms, hungry ghosts can be broadly divided into three categories: external obstacle ghosts, internal obstacle ghosts, and food-obstruction ghosts.

The demon with internal obstruction breathes fire from its mouth, and its throat is as small as a pinhole. Even if it manages to find food and drink, it cannot swallow. Even if it manages to swallow food, it will not feel full after it enters its stomach; instead, it will feel as if its stomach is on fire, causing it great pain. The more it eats, the more it burns, and the more it burns, the hungrier it becomes. This cycle repeats endlessly, and it will never be reborn.

"You cultivate your own path, why do you insist on getting involved with Buddhism?" Seeing the black sheep demon constantly spewing fire and regurgitating, Princess's strategist Li Huixin immediately held up the Ruyi Pearl in front of her eyes.

Rumination, also known as "reverse chewing," refers to the process by which some livestock, such as cattle and sheep, regurgitate partially digested food from their stomachs into their mouths for further chewing after a period of time.

"Beware, his belly is full of wandering ghosts!" Through the wish-fulfilling pearl, Princess's strategist Li Huixin glimpsed that the black sheep demon's belly was stuffed with the female ghosts he had swallowed. Although he chewed repeatedly, he grew hungrier with each bite. His whole body was unbearably thirsty, and a burning pain rose in his heart.

"The more you chew, the hungrier you become, and the karmic fire burns your heart. So, under the guise of liberating wandering ghosts, you secretly transfer karmic fire to the female ghost to alleviate the pain of your burning heart." Left Protector Sai Xiaoqing sneered, "What 'generosity' you talk about, it's nothing but self-deception. Bah!"

Upon seeing the Black Sheep Demon reveal its true form, the female ghosts in the arena turned pale and cried out in alarm, making way for it.

What a menacing aura! A demon or monster!

They would avoid it at all costs. How could they possibly dare to approach and offer assistance?

"Ahhh—" Just then, the black sheep demon regurgitated another wandering ghost from its belly. Its canine teeth chewed incessantly, causing the ghost to howl in agony.

"Who is it?" Princess strategist Li Huixin felt sorry for the wild ghost being chewed up.

“The vengeful ghost Le Niang.” Wu Chen transmitted the details over a thousand miles: “This is also a derivative product of the plot’s entanglement. Speaking of which, the first thing the old black sheep demon Taoist, who was stabbed to death by his personal disciple Le Niang, did after falling into the realm of hungry ghosts was to devour the vengeful ghost Le Niang alive.”

"My lord, what should we do to save her?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, asked telepathically.

"Just do it this way, just like this..." Wu Chen secretly gave instructions.

"Yes, sir." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, had a glint in her eyes and proceeded according to the plan: "Sister Ying, everything in the world has its counter and its mutual generation!"

"All things in the world are mutually restraining and mutually generating." Right Protector Xiahou Ying, in a flash of inspiration, exclaimed, "Take this!"

The Wind Sword of the Nine Swords of Dugu, like a rainbow piercing the sun, aimed straight at the Black Sheep Demon, but suddenly plummeted halfway down.

The wind sword shattered into pieces, and the Moon-Gazing Wind Wolf sprang forth!

"Wolves eat sheep. This is an age-old principle of mutual restraint!" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, clapped and laughed.

The Howling Wolf appeared with its head held high, and the Black Sheep Demon instantly lost its arrogance. Fear was practically etched into its very bones. How could the Black Sheep Demon not tremble with fear in the face of this giant wolf?

"You beast, prepare to die!" Right Protector Xiahou Ying pointed his finger, and the Moon-Gazing Wind-Howling Wolf leaped forward.
