Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
Chen Jie bids farewell to the Six Great Sects after being summoned by Master Zhang. As the sects prepare to leave, the Taishan Sect Leader Yue Zhen tries to defend the honor of the Six Great Sects by attacking a mysterious voice from the forest. However, Yue Zhen is swiftly defeated and killed. A figure emerges from the forest, revealing himself to be the Demon Slayer Monk Natu, a powerful court guard who mocks the sects for their failure to capture Chen Jiusi.
"You, you scoundrel, how dare you insult me, I will kill you!"
Master Jue Mie roared, drawing the Jade Maiden Sword to strike. However, Master Kong Wen quickly restrained her, looking at Master Jue Mie and admonishing, "Don't be rash, Demon Slayer Monk. Mind your words. Master Jue Mie is a nun, and speaking in such a manner is a bit excessive."
"Heh heh, she can do it, but I'm not allowed to mention it? Is there such a principle in this world? Look at this old nun, her eyes are like peach blossoms; she must be longing for a man to the point of madness. Our Esoteric Sect does not forbid desire; you can practice Joyful Zen. Old nun, stop thinking about young men. If you won't, why don't you practice Joyful Zen with me instead?"
"You, you villain, prepare to die!"
Upon hearing the Demon Slayer Monk's words, Master Jue Mie was incensed to the point of explosion. She shouted and prepared to charge, but was once again stopped by Kong Wen, who warned, "This Demon Slayer Monk is in the Melt God Realm, far above you and me. Do not act impulsively."
Master Jue Mie stated with a darkened face, "This old nun does not fear death."
Kong Wen cast a glance at Master Jue Mie, sighed softly, and uttered, "Ah..."
Then, Kong Wen turned his attention to the Demon Slayer Monk and inquired, "Master Natu, what brings you to Bright Peak on this occasion?"
Hearing this, Natu looked at Kong Wen and replied, "Minister Tuotuo stated that your efforts would not be wholehearted. Those who are not of our kind are inevitably different in heart; he turned out to be correct. Thus, he dispatched me here to capture Little Ming King."
Upon hearing this declaration, the faces of the Six Great Sects changed grimly. How could someone utter such a phrase as 'those who are not of our kind are inevitably different in heart'?
This Demon Slayer Monk is indeed as arrogant as the Jianghu rumors claim, deliberately provoking others.
Song Yuanqiao, upon hearing this, looked at the Demon Slayer Monk and remarked, "'Those who are not of our kind are inevitably different in heart.' We strive wholeheartedly for the court, yet the court treats us in this manner. It truly chills the hearts of the Six Great Sects."
The Demon Slayer Monk glanced at Song Yuanqiao and sneered, "Heh heh, Song Yuanqiao, you are also Master Zhang's disciple, how can you be so naive? If not for Master Zhang being too formidable back then, evenly matched with my master, my master feared it would be detrimental to the country. Your Six Great Sects should have been annihilated long ago; you wouldn't be here today wasting your breath with me."
After delivering these words, the Demon Slayer Monk wore a proud expression. Witnessing his demeanor, Song Yuanqiao nearly choked with anger. Even though the situation was dire, were these matters meant to be discussed so openly?
For a moment, Song Yuanqiao found himself speechless.
Master Kong Wen and Master Jue Mie also wore displeased expressions.
The atmosphere grew exceedingly tense for a while.
"Ah-choo~".
At the foot of the mountain, a fierce battle ensued between the Zoroastrian Sect and the imperial forces. Both sides clashed relentlessly, with the experts on the Heavenly List engaging in a brutal fight.
Meanwhile, behind the army, within the Daqian military camp, a raised platform stood. Upon it was Daqian's most powerful figure, Lord Prime Minister Tuotuo, who suddenly let out a sneeze.
Startled, the adjutant behind him inquired, "My Lord Prime Minister, should we summon a physician?"
Tuotuo rubbed his nose and stated, "No need, no need to call a doctor. I have Daqian's Destiny protecting me; I won't catch a cold. This sneeze might signify impending trouble, hmm?"
Tilting his head upwards, his face etched with worry, Tuotuo observed the scene. Seeing this, the adjutant asked, "Is Your Lordship concerned about the frontline situation?"
With a wave of his hand, Tuotuo dismissively replied, "No, no. The experts of the Six Heavenly List are evenly matched; a higher will is at play. I have no need to worry. Furthermore, my objective this time is not merely to conquer Bright Peak."
"Oh, is Your Lordship referring to Little Ming King?"
Tuotuo nodded gently. "Indeed, it is Little Ming King. After all, the Six Great Sects are Han people; they are difficult to fully rely upon. Capturing Little Ming King depends solely on them, which is not entirely secure."
"Did you not dispatch Natu to assist in the capture?"
Hearing this, Tuotuo's face turned livid. "It is Natu himself that I am worried about."
"Lord Natu's strength has reached the Melt God Realm. None of the Sect Leaders of the Six Great Sects can match him. There are no experts on the mountain capable of resisting him. What concerns do you have?"
Tuotuo explained, "Natu's strength is not the issue, but rather his mouth…"
Upon hearing this, the adjutant behind him appeared exasperated.
Natu's power is undeniably formidable. He is one of the three most favored disciples of the Living Buddha, possessing exceptional strength and talent. However, it is a pity about his tongue!
No one can tolerate him. No matter who spends more time in his presence, he is bound to offend them.
Even the Emperor found him exasperating at times, yet when the Emperor required protection, this general was relegated to the outermost patrols.
The Emperor himself once lamented, "What a truly formidable general, how did he acquire such a wicked tongue!"
He was, in truth, a man whose words alienated the entire world.
Tuotuo, finding himself without options, as the Living Buddha remained in the Capital, the first disciple was occupied guarding the Imperial Palace, and the third disciple was otherwise engaged, the second disciple, Natu, was the only one available.
Recognizing the impending ferocity of the battle, Tuotuo brought Natu along.
Initially, Tuotuo merely intended to station him at the front lines, but the young man's uncontrolled speech led him into a brawl with Ruyang King, who consequently declared he would personally see him dead.
With no other personnel at his disposal and fearing the Six Great Sects might falter in apprehending Little Ming King, Tuotuo had no recourse but to send Natu, sternly warning him, "If the Six Great Sects succeed, do not reveal yourself."
"Do not come out, no matter what," he reiterated.
Tuotuo understood that with Natu's sharp tongue, any appearance would inevitably offend the Six Great Sects.
Therefore, his intervention was only to be considered during a critical moment, such as if Little Ming King were to escape.
However, for reasons unknown, the decision to deploy Natu instilled a sense of unease in Tuotuo, a premonition that this disciple might unleash a significant catastrophe.
Sigh...
Tuotuo could only heave a sigh, feeling utterly helpless regarding Natu, and recalled the Emperor's renowned assessment: "What a truly formidable general, how did he acquire such a wicked tongue!"
