Chapter 694: Good intentions often lead to bad things
"This should be done, but you can't do it this way! You've done something wrong, quick! Take them back immediately."
On a barren mountain where the eastern land of Kumu Territory borders the northern territory, Niu Sansheng, wearing a full-covering magic weapon battle armor and a demon mask that can block the breath and divine consciousness, was holding a big axe and scolding the dozen or so casual cultivators in front of him:
"You are using the blood of mortals to advance your ideas. This is treasonous! You don't even know what you are doing!"
The wandering cultivators in front of Hanhan had different appearances and seemed to come from different regions of the East judging by their attire. There were cultivators who cast spells, body cultivators, and animal trainers dressed in wild styles.
And a few guys with gloomy temperaments, who seemed to be evil practitioners.
Each of these guys has a very high level of cultivation, and they are all great monks in the divine realm.
If such a force were to come together, they might not be able to attack a large sect, but they could easily destroy the small sects scattered throughout the East.
In addition to their identity as casual cultivators in the Ku Mu Realm, they also have another identity, that is, they are ascenders from the same small world as Niu Sansheng and Elder Sanbao.
"What to do? Oh, we know it very well."
Facing Hanhan's scolding, the leader of these casual cultivators leaned on the white bone banner and sneered:
"Ever since you, Niu Sansheng, led us to seize the star array from the Myriad Beasts Sect but failed, and your life or death is unknown, those of us who escaped have been missing the place where we came from every day.
In the beginning, it was us who handed over our world to the evil people of Kumu Realm for the sake of practicing. Now, it is up to us to take back this dying world with our own hands. Isn't this only natural?
Wasn't it for this purpose that you gathered everyone to fight against the Ten Thousand Beast Sect? Or did you, Niu Sansheng, become a coward who dares not do anything again after your death?"
"I was...too reckless back then."
Niu Sansheng, leaning on his battle axe, looked down from the cliff towards the northern border. He could vaguely see a large human army armed with various spiritual spears, rushing across the grassland like a torrent.
Behind them, a monster village had been destroyed and set on fire, with black smoke rising into the sky, which was shocking to see.
This is where the North and the East meet.
The people here have been harassed by the monsters from the north for thousands of years. Before the Immortal Alliance was established, the monsters would cross the border to capture a few unlucky ghosts and have a feast when they were in a good mood.
Although the Wanshou Sect and Kunlun Sect are guarding the vicinity, it is difficult for the monks of the two sects to completely prevent the infiltration of small groups of monsters.
After the Immortal Alliance was established, the situation improved for a while. The three great demon saints came under the rule of the Immortal Alliance, and were finally able to restrain the demons under their command from doing evil.
But it was peaceful for only three hundred years. After the Demon Saint Xiao Feng became possessed by the devil, the Great Sage Qingsi of Handi Mountain became furious and led all the demons to leave the Immortal Alliance. Then the demon disaster in the northern border started again.
There are signs that the situation is getting worse.
Just like the small country where Luoyan was born, it was destroyed by Madam Ba overnight, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. This was too common. The human race living here, from the monarch to the common people, each of them had a deep hatred for the monsters in the north.
The confrontation between the two sides is like a raging fire, and now these independent cultivators are adding fuel to the hatred.
The war started easily.
This time, the human army has weapons that can kill monsters. They are no longer afraid of those monsters. They want to avenge their relatives and compatriots who died tragically!
"The Hongyan Society sent news to my friend earlier that someone was secretly purchasing and hoarding a large number of spiritual spears and magical instruments made by Mo Shuang Mountain. The number was so large that it even attracted the attention of Tao Fu Yuan."
Niu Sansheng retracted his gaze and looked at the monks in front of him who came from the same place as him. He wore a demon mask and said in a muffled voice:
"I really didn't expect that you were the ones doing these things in secret. You deliberately purchased and hoarded spirit guns just to arm the civilian soldiers here so that they would be determined to fight a war between the human race and the demon race.
You can use this war to lure the savage and brave Great Sage Barbarian Bull, who protects the northern demon tribe, from Handi Mountain to join the war, and then use it to involve the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Kunlun Sect, so that it will be easier for you to act in secret.
How vicious is this?
That's not how you acted before!
Don't forget that you are different from the reckless demon like me on our side. You are upright monks!"
"This is to save our hometown. If we talk about good and evil means, what difference does it make?"
The leader of the scattered cultivators, the cultivator holding the bone banner, shook his head and said with a regretful tone:
“When we failed in our dangerous mission, your life or death was unknown, and Sanbao, that spineless man, was so frightened that he only dared to hide under the protection of Mo Shuang Mountain and no longer did what we swore to save him.
The former senior leader of the Immortal Alliance is no longer reliable. He doesn't care about us and doesn't care about the misery and loneliness of our hometown.
What else can we do?
Niu Sansheng, tell me, if it were you, what would you do? The Ten Thousand Beast Sect is too powerful. Without this evil plot, how can we enter their mountain gate and take back our star array?
You said we did something wrong, so you can teach us, what should we do? You have changed your temperament now, and want to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and have compassion for all living beings, right? "
The leader clasped the spirit flag in his hand tightly and shouted to Niu Hanhan:
“You think that the lives of the creatures in this Bitter Wood Realm are lives, but the lives of the people in our hometown are not lives?
They enjoy the good spiritual nourishment of Ku Mu Realm and live a fairy-like life in their own world, but don’t you know where this fairy-like life comes from?
Why?
Why can Kumu Realm be like the fairyland of all nations, while our hometown will become the remnants that are sucked blood by it?
Now that you have come out to speak up for Kumujing, who can stand up and speak for our hometown?
Why!
Are the lives of the people in Ku Mu Territory inherently noble, while our people are destined to die?
Why? "
Faced with this question, a group of ascended monks took a step forward with a common hatred of the enemy, each holding a magic weapon in their hands, standing beside the leader, representing their own thoughts and attitudes.
When Niu Sansheng saw this scene, he could only sigh helplessly.
After all, he is no longer the reckless guy he used to be.
He already knew too many secrets, and those secrets weighed on him like shackles, entangled him, and made him unable to solve everything by brute force as he did in the past when he made decisions.
The problems in Kumu Realm are too complicated...
This is not something that can be explained in a few words.
It is definitely not something that can be solved by a group of casual practitioners getting together and acting recklessly.
The once violent demon king, now leaning on his battle axe, spoke in a low voice, even with a hint of pleading and humility, as he tried to explain to his compatriots.
He said:
"It's not what you think. Sanbao is not a coward who has forgotten his vows. I will never forget for a moment our determination and responsibility to save our world.
I understand your urgency and desire, but that's not how it works.
You can't do this!
You haven't understood the situation in Ku Mu Territory yet. A large-scale war between humans and demons will cause huge casualties, which will weaken the power of this world.
This will lead to terrible consequences.
Stop it, brothers.
Help me escort these reckless human troops back to the East, and help me put an end to this war that should never have happened. It's not too late now."
"Pooh!"
The leader of the scattered cultivators looked at Niu Sansheng with disdain and spat rudely to the side.
explain:
"It seems that the fearless and brave Niu Sansheng is dead. You have become the same person as Sanbao and that great senior.
You have been dazzled by the colorful world of Ku Mu Territory. You have forgotten where you came from and what kind of suffering our people have endured.
You are a traitor who betrayed your hometown! Shame on you! Despicable!
roll!
If you don't want to work with us, then get out! Go back to your comfort zone, continue to enjoy every drop of spiritual energy in this Bitter Wood Realm, and seek your path of cultivation."
After saying this, he shouted to the casual practitioners around him:
“Everyone, follow the original plan, help the human army clear the way for the difficult monsters, and help these poor people who were bullied by the monsters regain their dignity.
Let’s go! Let’s kill the monster!”
"Bang"
The dragon bone axe, shining with cold light, chopped on the ground, drawing a line, blocking the steps of the wandering cultivators in front of them.
Niu Sansheng clenched his fists, waves of burning masculine energy wrapped around his body. As his heart beat wildly, the fully developed atomic reactor pushed violent power into his limbs and bones.
The scorching heat was like a sun, burning the casual cultivators in front of them and forcing them to take a few steps back. They all used their spiritual energy to try to resist it.
“You have good intentions, and I believe you really want to save your hometown. I still regard you as my most trustworthy brothers.
We came to Kumu Realm together.
We did the same wrong thing together, and after knowing the truth, we all suffered the same pain. But things done with good intentions are not necessarily good things! "
Niu Sansheng, who seemed to be wrapped in the scorching sun, moved his shoulders. In the increasingly scorching light, he said in a low voice:
“My boss often says that ignorant people are fearless. They always regard the little bit of truth they see as the truth, but are stubbornly unwilling to see the whole picture.
The more ignorant and stubborn one is, the more he firmly believes that his own thoughts must be correct, but he is unwilling to think that if he is wrong, who will bear the responsibility for the mistake he has made?
you……
You guys are doing something wrong!
I can't let you continue to make mistakes, and I can't explain this to you here... Your stubbornness and passion can be used for greater things.
Instead of using the blood of innocent people to save our homeland as we are doing now.
I think, if my hometown could speak, it would not care about this kind of freedom that is stained with the blood of innocent people!
I have informed my boss and this matter will be resolved in a way that will not harm anyone else, I assure you, and will free our world.”
The leader of the casual cultivators hesitated for a moment; he felt Niu Sansheng's sincerity.
But in the end, he took a deep breath and said to Niu Sansheng:
"You made the same promise ninety years ago. But we lost many brothers that night. We don't need your promise anymore, Niu Sansheng.
We must save our hometown in our own way.
People with different ideals cannot work together.
You are not an enemy, and we don’t want to treat you as an enemy, so don’t get in our way…”
“That’s what I want to tell you too!”
The atomic energy in Niu Sansheng's body soared rapidly at this moment, just like a sun rising above a barren mountain.
He grabbed the dragon bone battle axe at hand. This domineering magic weapon was made by Sect Leader Shi Yan using the dragon bone remains of the Water-avoiding King. The seventh-level ink runes on it shone with illusory flames as if they were ignited.
He roared:
"Now! Final warning! Surrender!"
Respond to him.
They were the magic weapons and spells that the independent cultivators used with the same roars.
Obviously, everyone wants to do the same thing, obviously everyone wants to carry out rescue work, and obviously everyone wants to save their hometown, so why did it turn out like this?
Whose fault is this?
Lord of the wilderness!
It's all its fault!
"boom"
The roar that destroyed the mountains and the sea shattered the barren mountains and enveloped everything in the roar of the scorching sun.
