Chapter 439
Chapter 439
Bai Zhi's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, rolling down her collar. She looked up at Le Zheng Shang Bao. His eyes, filled with determination and love, made her feel heartbroken and helpless.
Although Le Zheng Shangbao's words were cold and harsh, every word revealed his deep sense of responsibility towards the Le Zheng clan and his indescribable complex emotions towards his senior brother.
Bai Zhi had mixed feelings in her heart. One wrong step led to another. She knew very well that she was not the cause of her brother's mistakes. In this world, everyone has their own pain and struggles.
She herself had experienced even greater suffering than her senior brother, but her love and awe for medical skills had never made her think of using medical skills to harm others.
Her mother's admonitions and her master's teachings were engraved on her heart like a brand. All medicine is poisonous to some extent, and a doctor, like a caring parent, may refrain from treating patients. However, if one uses medical skills to hurt others, it is unforgivable.
The news spread quickly into Fengwu City like a bird with wings. All the officials of the major families in the city were shocked when they heard about it.
The Lezheng family had just welcomed a new head, but suffered such a disaster. Moreover, the Fengwu City steward was present. The demons dared to provoke them at this time, which was undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the entire Fengwu City.
For a time, the public was outraged and voices advocating war were heard everywhere. Many people were filled with righteous indignation and vowed to seek justice for the Lezheng family and General Gongsun. They also proposed that Fengwu City immediately send troops to Jimen Pass to fight a decisive battle with the demons.
"Although the demons once dominated the world, that is now a thing of the past. Today, our power as Taoists is growing stronger day by day. How can it be compared to the past?"
"Thinking back then, we Taoists were weak and alone, but we were still able to deal with the demons. How much more so today? We must let the demons know that the human world is not a place they can trample on at will!"
"That's right. Back then, although we needed the help of the gods, there was only the goddess Zijin left. Compared to now, we Taoists have grown several times stronger and our strength should not be underestimated. What can the demons do to us?"
"exactly!"
The people around responded one after another, their eyes flashing with undying fighting spirit and faith.
But amidst the passionate voices, there were also calm voices raising objections. The peace faction and the war faction confronted each other, each arguing with their own reasons. The air was filled with a tense and complex atmosphere.
Gongsun Sheng listened attentively as if nothing had happened, twirling his fingers, thinking about what the demons were thinking about in seizing Jimen Pass.
"The White Tiger has been killed, Le Zheng and his people have been resurrected, and the people from the Mu Mansion are still here. Isn't it stupid for the demons to attack at this time? And they won? What kind of tricks are they playing?
Is it the demon clan or the Mu Mansion? It is possible. The Mu Mansion has never distinguished between races. It is not impossible that they used the excuse of saving people to help the demon clan seize Jimen Pass.
What's the reason? Could it be that you feel that you have no chance of winning against us and are willing to sacrifice the human world? Mu Liqing, oh Mu Liqing, this move will only make you despised by the world. Besides, how can you control the evil of the demons?"
As Le Zheng thought, even if he suspected other people, he would not suspect that Le Zheng was cooperating with the demons.
Gongsun Sheng suddenly remembered that face and immediately stood up nervously. Everyone thought he had made a decision and was waiting for him to speak, but they saw him raising his foot to leave.
Gongsun Sheng felt their gazes, turned his head and looked at them, saying: "There is something strange about this matter, let me find out more before making a long-term plan, don't fall into someone else's trap."
"Could it be that Le Zheng deliberately..."
"That's impossible. Back then, Le Zheng betrayed the human race and interacted with the demons. Even though he finally came to his senses and turned back in time, Le Zheng was still despised for a thousand years. I'm afraid his hatred for the demons is no less than you and I here."
"What if I get bewitched by the demons? In the past, whether it was the demon god or the inner demon, they were the best at bewitching people."
"You old rascal, do you think Le Zheng has been holding back the demons for so many years? If not for the damage done by the demonic energy, which led to the extinction of Le Zheng, and the barrier existing for so many years, it would have given the demons an opportunity. They have been drinking tea since they were young, were they bewitched? Humph, then they will die."
"You old man are really good at talking. You say ten things to every one of my words, and you never feel tired."
"Hahaha, I think you are in the wrong and have nothing to say, right?"
"Hmph, I don't want to bother with you."
"Two elders, please don't argue. Now that the demons have occupied Jimen Pass, it is a fact that all the families and sects in the Dao League must unite and make preparations early. We must not give the demons a chance to take advantage of us. The demons are not unwilling to fight, but only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. We really know very little about the demons now, and we are not clear about the situation in Jimen Pass. Please be patient and wait for me to send someone to investigate clearly. What do you think?"
"What the leader said is very true. Whether we fight or not, we need to find out the situation of Jimen Pass."
"By the way, where is the young man Le Zheng who escaped? Just ask him and we'll know."
"Alas, his injuries are not serious, but unfortunately he was poisoned and has already died. I'm afraid it was the poison of the demons."
The voices of discussion rose again, you and him, he and her, he and him. Gongsun Sheng just wanted to ask his men present what happened in Lezheng and what happened to Miss Mu.
So he called on others to bring Gongsun Shouli in and decided to put him in charge of this matter.
When everyone saw it, they thought that he was training Gongsun Shouli, and they all looked forward to his words.
When Gongsun Shouli heard that something happened to Le Zheng, he stood up excitedly, but soon sat down calmly.
"Brother Yuhua, Shuiling, Brother Qiming, what is going on? Miss Mu..."
Gongsun Shouli was called out to someone and finally reacted. He discussed countermeasures with everyone as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, Gongsun Sheng returned to his residence in Fengwu City at a quick pace. Here, he left a magic circle that was enough to take him to the other end. This was also the result of his many years of research.
As soon as he returned to the world of immortality, he summoned Chifeng, Xuanwu and the two protectors, Black and White, and listened carefully to their reports on the events of Jimen Pass.
Akagi and Genbu didn't understand, he had clearly already heard it, he had even seen some of it with his own eyes, so they didn't know what other information he wanted.
Although they were confused, they still reported the situation to him in detail.
"What do you think of Miss Mu?"
When Chi Feng heard the name "Miss Mu", he gnashed his teeth with hatred and said angrily: "Damn it, isn't it rumored that she has the talent of a Taoist priest? It turned out to be all fake. If it weren't for the magic she cast, it would be easy to deal with Le Zheng."
"You're sure the people died and then came back to life, right?"
"We were dealing with a few young men from Le Zheng. If it weren't for the two guardians' help, we would have been the losers. I didn't expect that they knew how to deal with us. It's really weird."
Xuanwu recalled with a frown.
Gongsun Sheng stood up and walked out. Seeing this, Chi Feng asked, "Emperor, where are you going?"
Gongsun Sheng gave her a look and stood there obediently.
"Meet a woman."
