These records, annotations, and contemplations, though complex in narrative,
were in fact merely a few surging thoughts in Tao Qian's mind. After learning that "Demon Cleansing" sword technique, Tao Qian took an interest in the Summoning Demon Technique, especially the "Ten Thousand Demon List" contained within. This kind of strange and ancient book that could broaden one's horizons was exactly the sort that pleased Tao Qian the most.
As he was about to peruse it, he remembered something and looked up.
Indeed, dozens of ugly and terrifying faces were looking in his direction, huddling close with ingratiating smiles.
Though they all very much wanted Tao Qian to honor the Daoist oath and release them, none dared to speak first for fear of the ferocious Nine True Spirit Sound and Refining God Seal.
Their appearance was pitiable indeed.
