Qin Sheng seemed to be deep in thought, wanting to see how the people Yu Rui had brought would react.
Yu Rui sat quietly to the side, without having any doubt about the result.
She had just gained power and taken revenge while searching for followers, and she understood who the gifts of the adults were suitable for. Wu Zhangshan's situation was not much different from hers many years ago.
This is the time when strength is most needed!
"Forced?"
Wu Zhangshan sneered: "That's true, but they weren't forced to join by the Creation Cult, but by the so-called city guards!"
He glanced at the group and said, "You probably can't understand this, since you all became martial artists very easily."
“But we are different. Most of the members of the Creation Church were ordinary people before they joined the church.”
As he spoke, he said with emotion, "I am not jealous of you, nor do I resent you. After all, we all start from the same point. Kaitian City has also prepared enlightenment energy liquid for everyone who wants to become a martial artist."
He gave a bitter smile: "But we don't have the talent, so no matter how hard we try, we can't become martial artists."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Wang Xiaopang asked, puzzled. "As an ordinary person, you can still live in Kaitian City without facing the threat of alien beasts."
“Yes.” Wu Zhangshan nodded: “I used to think the same way, choosing to give up the path of a martial artist and become an ordinary working person.”
Hatred flashed in his eyes.
"But this also means that in this era that values individual strength, you, an ordinary person, will be at the bottom and have the least dignity. Any martial artist can easily crush you like an ant."
Wang Xiaopang was taken aback. The word "dignity" reminded him of a not-so-distant memory.
That was when I first started cultivating. I was blackmailed by a martial artist. Because I realized that my talent was not good, I decided to let it go.
But Lao Fan discovered it.
But what if he weren't there?
Is it possible for me to get rid of that martial artist now?
Wu Zhangshan began by asking, "Do you know what crime a martial artist commits by causing someone's death without cause?"
Shangwu remained silent and said, "They can only return after being dispatched to the front lines and achieving merit."
“That’s right. All you need to do is go to the front lines and kill a single alien beast to atone for your mistake and return to life in Kaitian City.”
Wu Zhangshan closed his eyes and slowly asked, "If you saw the martial artist who killed your family reappear in front of you, what would you think?"
Yu Rui didn't hesitate: "Kill him."
"Yes."
Wu Zhangshan gave a bitter look: "But I'm just an ordinary person."
"When I tried to kill him with a knife, I was kicked so hard I couldn't stand up. He spared me because he didn't want to go back to the front lines."
Speaking of leniency, even his mutated body showed bulging veins under his skin.
"That was the first time I felt like a piece of trash, and the first time I hated God for not having the talent to cultivate!"
He roared almost out loud, then closed his eyes to calm himself down.
"It was around that time that the vice-leader found me, who was drowning my sorrows in alcohol, and promised me power and a chance to take revenge myself, even though..."
Wu Zhangshan showed no aversion: "Even though she told me that this road is a road of no return."
"But I am still grateful to the Vice Leader and to the Leader whom I have never met."
Wu Zhangshan smiled and said, "Because they gave us ordinary people an opportunity."
"Because of them, I was able to take my revenge on my enemies."
