Chapter 424: Earn! Imperial Butcher! Blame and Take Responsibility!

The second day.

Kunxu Mountain.

The crisp sunlight sprinkled on Zhenruan's hair like firecrackers. At this moment, she was sleeping soundly with a brocade quilt in her arms, curled up like a kitten, with a blush on her face that had not yet faded.

Except for a pair of white and tender little feet, her beautiful body was covered in a brocade quilt.

At this time, a burly Taoist priest with his strong upper body naked was standing on the windowsill, staring at the distant sky, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a long time, the Taoist turned around to look at the short-haired female cultivator who was sleeping soundly. He stretched out his big hand, picked up the Taoist robe hanging on the hanger, put it on himself, and left quietly.

As his figure disappeared from the room, the open window slowly closed, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. The chest of the beautiful woman inside the brocade quilt was still rising and falling rhythmically.

She was too tired and slept very soundly. The Taoist priest, in his long robe with wide sleeves, walked with the wind and soon arrived at the foot of Kunxu Mountain.

At this moment, two or three hundred monks with pale faces were kneeling on the ground with heavy shackles on their backs. A purple-haired girl with a grim face stood in front of the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Luo, how is the investigation going?"

"Ah, unfortunately for the empire, things are more serious than you expected, Imperial Master."

"The mayors of many cities in the Northern Territory were forced by the demon masters to cooperate with them. In order to protect themselves, these officials, big or small, chose to turn a blind eye. The news reported to the court was either suppressed or reported late, and some even downplayed the big events."

"Master, I have mobilized the secret power of the Criminal Court and have captured all of these ringleaders. Lin Luo believes that if we don't publicly punish all of them, severely and quickly, it will not be enough to appease the public anger."

"Many remote villages and towns in the Northern Territory are now... empty."

At this point, the purple-haired girl's face was already frosty and her expression was solemn.

After listening to Lin Luo's report, Yi Chen finally understood the operation of the group of demons who secretly ran from the South Region to the North Region.

Unlike the fighting methods of the Hundred-Headed Demonic Wolves, the demons in the Southern Territory, led by the demonic tiger, are more treacherous and cunning.

It deliberately left a small group of demons in the Southern Region, making some noise but little action from time to time, but it actually sneaked to the Northern Region with a large group of troops.

This bastard didn't choose the big attack and early breakup strategy like the Hundred-Headed Demon Wolf, but used a tactic that made the least splash, moistening things silently.

Use coercion and inducement to directly intimidate the official monks of the Qin Dynasty and even the people of the sect.

This type of tactic is a culmination of special operations and decapitation terrorist attacks.

Of course, there were also some "traitors" who gladly threw themselves into the arms of the demons, and happily served as guides with their own food, just like some monks of the Xu lineage of the Mingdeng organization.

When the many cultivators kneeling on the ground heard Lin Luo's proposal to Yi Chen to kill all of their people, they couldn't help but become agitated.

"Master, Lord Lin Luo, please spare my life. That demon is threatening my entire family. I really have no choice but to pretend to be nice to him~"

"That's right, the demons are cruel and we have no other way to protect ourselves, so we resorted to this desperate measure."

“…”

"Good! Well said, everyone!"

Clap! Clap! Clap! There was applause.

Yi Chen had a kind smile on his face. He listened to everyone's explanations, but suddenly he started clapping on his own.

"You all said it well!"

"The families behind you all or the forces you represent are all well-known figures in the Northern Territory. Would you like me to provide you with some more details?"

"I think you all must be thinking that as long as I didn't lie about the military intelligence and reported the information about the small group of demons causing chaos, even if the truth is revealed in the future, you can just put the blame on your own ability."

"How good is it to take the small stick and run away from the big stick? Who can be smarter than you gentlemen? Profit!"

"How about I help you all recall, have any of you ever made peace with the demons, for example, giving them a 'bribe', saying as long as they don't attack your city, they can do whatever they want to the rest of the place, and everyone has this tacit understanding?"

"Then we'll give you rewards based on your merits. You can also get another reward for defending the territory well~ Another profit!"

"Of course, for those stubborn ones, you can even secretly provide the demons with a hunting list. After all, you all went into the water, but some people are still standing on the dry shore. Doesn't this make you look unsociable? You can use the demons to eliminate those who are 'unsociable' with you, and then you can place a group of your own people in the vacant positions, and put all the blame on the demons. You will make a lot of money!"

"The demons are seeking their lives. Those properties and lands that cannot be taken away, as well as the hidden gold and silver, have all become a large amount of unclaimed public accounts. With your abilities, you can place your own people in the vacant positions. How to arrange them and how to manipulate them is just a matter of a word."

"The meat is rotting in the pot, and you are making a lot of money! The more people die, the more money you make! Anyway, if things get out of hand, His Majesty will naturally take action. No matter how much the Qin loses, you won't have to contribute a penny. You are getting a lot of fat meat with real money and silver."

"The Northern Territory has really been rotten and has been destroyed. The Qin Empire will certainly allocate funds for reconstruction and make more money! After all, the death of 10,000 people is just a number, and the death of 100,000 or a million people is also a number. It's no big deal!"

"Who can be wronged by you gentlemen? Have you ever thought about what to do if the matter gets out of hand and your majesty can't handle it? The Qin Dynasty's pressure on Central Continent is not invincible, you idiots!"

"You cooperated with the demons, secretly colluded with them, and took their things. In the end, you are the ones who should be afraid. When the war really spreads to the human realm, you idiots will have the handle in the hands of the demons. You are iron-clad traitors. You are really wronged!"

At this point, Yi Chen was so angry that he started laughing, and his face was almost red.

Fuck, the Western Demon Lord Lao Deng has broken through the limit four times. There are at least four such Lao Dengs in the opposite demon realm! Damn it, if those uncles really come over, I haven’t developed well yet, and you want me to fight? Fight with my head?

The level cap of other people's magic servers is higher than yours. No matter how good Yue Qingping and Ying Si's foundation is, can they still beat others up? Yi Chen looked at the bastards on the ground, and for a moment he saw a kind of beauty like the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River in the history books of his previous life.

Damn, these bastards won’t fight. Even if Daqin loses, with their experience as dogs, the demons still need people to rule the human race for them. Let’s make money again. If they do a good job, the demon daddy will raise a flag for them and prove their status as a bannerman family. It’s such a great win.

The first thing he said was that when the demons invaded the human world, my great-grandfather led the demon uncle on the way, and the Western Demon Kingdom flew the Union Jack. It was so authentic~ When he thought about how he, Yi Chengzi, almost became the terrifying Green Yang, Yi Chen's heart began to turn red.

Based on the confessions of many demons, Yi Chen was sure that each of the following people might not be able to think so thoroughly, but if they came together, they would definitely be able to piece together the puzzle he guessed.

The cultivators kneeling on the ground looked at Yi Chen's angry scolding, but their expressions varied.

Some people lowered their heads in shame, some were still indignant, some cried bitterly and said they were wrong and were willing to fight the devil as dead, and some were devastated, knowing that there was no chance of them escaping today.

Of course, there were also some cattle and horses who showed admiration for the "Great Qin State Master". They really hadn't thought of some ways of making money, no wonder others could become the state master.

"Kill! Go to Fengxiu City and gather all the people in the city to watch the ceremony. These scum of the empire must all die!" At this moment, Lin Luo spoke in a sonorous voice, and blurted out in an unquestionable tone. For a moment, all the monks who were wearing shackles and kneeling on the ground turned pale.

However, soon, a glimmer of hope appeared on their gloomy faces again.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Luo, you are taking this too far!"

"ah?"

"Behind the kneeling lords, do you think they have a faction, a master-disciple inheritance, or a family? Which of you is not a pillar of the family? Killing them is too cruel."

"A family should be in good order. The master and apprentice should be counted as father and son, and the direct lineage should be within three generations. Lord Lin Luo, have the people from the Criminal Court compile a list and bring them all to Fengxiu City. All the property obtained will be confiscated."

"I want to make the Northern Territory a land of countless heads! To comfort the souls of the many innocent people who died in heaven!"

"They were forced to do it. Who gave those dead people a chance to choose? He was so stupid."

The Taoist's elegant voice reappeared, and in his words one could vaguely hear signs of a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"Yichengzi, I'm going to fight you. What does my family have to do with this matter? Everyone has the responsibility for his own actions!" Someone stood up angrily, and soon his knee was hit by a bullet of Holy Yang Qi, revealing the white bone stump.

"Yichengzi, what kind of national teacher are you? You are unworthy of being a Taoist priest. You are just a butcher!"

"Imperial butcher Yi Chengzi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did many of the "Great Qin Sinners" look excited, even Lin Luo was shocked. She thought she had been ruthless enough, but who knew that compared to the State Master, she was still too conservative.

"Master Yi, do you know how many people will die if you do this? Tens of thousands of people will be implicated! Some of these people will surely die in vain. You will be condemned by thousands of people in the future! You will never be able to wash away the name of a butcher." Lin Luo was horrified and could not help but persuade him.

"If there are 10,000, then I will kill 10,000 people. I want these people to see their hard work destroyed. Their teachers, their families, will all be reduced to ashes because of them."

"Don't they want to be martyred? Don't some of them want to sacrifice me for the happiness of the whole family? I want to know what their expressions are when they see the building they built collapse!"

"When the time comes, I will kill these people myself!"

The Taoist priest was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves. He had his back to the crowd and his hands spread out. The sunlight shone on his back, but could not illuminate his face.

"But many of these people are innocent, and many were forced into it. Their crimes do not deserve the death penalty! This is unreasonable and unfair!" Lin Luo still wanted to argue, but what greeted her was the Taoist's faint voice.

"Princess Changya, if you want to do something, you can't be hesitant. You have to have both."

"I know that there must be some innocent people among them, some whose crimes do not deserve the death penalty, but can you tell them apart? To what extent should those who have committed crimes not deserve the death penalty be punished in order to silence everyone?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"What's more important is which side you're on."

"People always have butts first, then reasons."

"A thug named Fat Tiger is beating up a kind-hearted citizen named Nobita. You have four choices: one, help Nobita, two, help Fat Tiger, three, don't help anyone and pretend you didn't see it, four, say both sides are wrong."

"No matter which of the last three options you choose, you are helping Fat Tiger."

"So, Princess Changya, those villagers who died, are they human beings?"

At this point, Yi Chen sighed, "To do something without attracting criticism from others is something that only saints, gods, and sages can do. I am dull and cannot do this. I can only do things while getting covered in blood."

"I am not a butcher, but this trend cannot continue. The human realm has reached such a level now. You also know the intelligence from His Majesty. The Longhu Mountain Cosmic Dragon Tiger Divine Light Array has been running at full power for several days. No one knows what happened inside. The demon realm is far stronger than we imagined. The Western Demon Lord is a figure who has broken through the limit to the fourth level. I think the other three demon kingdoms must be no worse, otherwise they would have been swallowed up long ago."

"Therefore, for those who secretly collude with the demons, or even tacitly cooperate with them, I can only use their heads! I will make them suffer and I will bear the blame!"

"I want to tell everyone in the world, stand on your side! Stand with the demons or the human race, it's up to you! You are not allowed to have a foot in both camps. There will be no tolerance for treason. Their only way out is to die and their clan will be exterminated, bringing trouble to future generations."

At this point, Yi Chen's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"The enemy has been pushed to the doorstep, and you are still arguing about justice and reason. Do these still matter?"

"Killing is to protect life, and killing karma is not killing people. It is important whose side you stand on!"

"I will bear these sins and take on the responsibility!"

"Moreover, Princess Changya, do you intend to let His Majesty issue an imperial edict to take action, or let your Ministry of Justice do it? Believe me, the Emperor and I will only make the same choice, and I am the most suitable person to kill people."

"The merits I gained on Mount Zhuilong and the money and property I spent on the Great Qin treasury were not given to me by the gentlemen kneeling below. They were given to me by the villagers whose houses were completely empty."

"This country's teacher will definitely give them an explanation for the work he did for me!"

"So, I'll kill him first. Otherwise, when His Majesty's edict arrives, Princess Changya, you won't be able to bear the infamy!"

At this point, Yi Chen's burly figure actually hunched a little, his broad back carrying a sense of desolation, as if he was having trouble letting go of Lin Luo's misunderstanding, like a lonely wolf, covered in stardust, walking alone on the road.

No one understood him.

Yi Chengzi, the state teacher of the Great Qin State, frightened the world of Chunyang and wanted to be the butcher of the empire.

With a flash of his body, the Taoist figure suddenly appeared towards the valley.

"So, I'll kill him first. Otherwise, when His Majesty's edict arrives, Princess Changya, you won't be able to bear the infamy!"

These words played in Lin Luo's mind like a slide show. Looking at the Taoist's lonely figure, she gritted her teeth, and quickly followed him to the valley.

The Qin Imperial Master Yi Chengzi accidentally stumbled, and was unexpectedly overtaken by the purple-haired girl who came after him.

A pair of bare hands suddenly embraced the Taoist's strong waist from behind, and managed to control the Great Qin State Master Yi Chengzi for three seconds.

Feeling the soft pressure on his back, the Great Qin State Master who was able to pin the Hundred-Headed Demon Wolf to the ground and beat it could not break free for a while.

"Hey, Princess Changya, what are you doing..."

"Yichengzi, I understand you!"

"Also, don't call me Princess Changya anymore. I don't like this name!"

After saying this, the purple-haired girl's cheeks flushed, and she turned into a rainbow of light and disappeared on the spot, but no one saw the white star that passed by the Taoist's mouth.

“As expected of me!”

"Make money! Big money!"

"Fuck you, I beat the eldest son of the leader of the Western Demon Kingdom to death in front of him, and you guys actually want to lead the demons. You want me to die!"

"No, my hands are stained with blood. Everything I did was for the sake of the human realm. I am willing to bear the infamy and scare the world of Chunyang. I will bear it and bear the consequences!"

In the evening, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Lin Luo acted very quickly. Outside Fengxiu City, there were thousands of people kneeling and wailing "people waiting to be killed". Their cries were deafening and their curses were endless.

These arrived today, the next batch will take a while.

Pah! A big foot stepped into the puddle, splashing water everywhere. It turned out to be a burly Taoist walking slowly from the horizon, holding a holy spear in his hand, with a cold expression on his face.

The terrifying Chunyang, the butcher of the empire, appears on the stage.

The holy spear painted the sky, and suddenly the rain in the suburbs turned bright red.

Everyone could only hear the overwhelming poetry that resounded through the heavens and earth, drowning out the sound of rain and crying! "Full of praise, full of slander, kill, kill, dance with the halberd in the world, and be famous in all directions!"

"My body is like cotton wool, I am walking alone, chop, chop, chop, I am the pure yang that shocks the world, I walk alone on the great path!"

When they were halfway through killing them, they saw a stunning female cultivator suddenly appear. Her eyes were filled with admiration, and she shouted to Tian Qing: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

"Your Majesty has issued an order! Great Qin will not let the Imperial Master bear the blame alone. I, Ying Si, am willing to become the butcher of the empire together with the Imperial Master. I have specially ordered the Chief of the Criminal Court, Lian Caiyi, to enforce the law for me!"

"kill!"

"Master Yi, I am here to help you!"

The people who thought they had a glimmer of hope suddenly fell from heaven to hell again! There came another living devil!

"Fellow Daoist Lian, please leave some for me!" The Great Qin State Master became anxious for a moment. His Pure Yang Flame Prison broiler chickens had long been used up in order to deduce the Only I Dao Realm, and now he was short of broiler chickens. What was he doing?
