After a moment of hesitation, A Bao's pained expression turned into unwavering determination. He looked at Ling Yun and earnestly said:
"Brother~ I know you'll think I'm a saint, that I'm a pushover who doesn't appreciate help and even tries to kill me when I help them."
But I still want to help them!
They were just ordinary people with simple thoughts, believing that the high and mighty immortal master would help them go to the so-called Boundless World.
They are ignorant and lack critical thinking, but they are also willing to dedicate themselves to their beliefs.
I was angry that they didn't appreciate it, but I also felt sorry for them being misled.
Brother! You once said that helping others is helping yourself. They are a pitiful group of people, brother! Please help them!
Ling Yun remained calm and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Yan Ruyu and asked:
"What do you think, Miss Yan?"
Yan Ruyu glanced at the menacing people of Pingfeng City and said:
“I think we should save them. My father donates a lot of money every year to help poor people. He says that the greater your ability, the more people in need you should help, and you can’t just stand by and watch someone die.”
The people of Pingfeng City are ignorant, but we are not. If we stand by and watch them die, I think the moral compass of the three of us will be tarnished.
"Of course, whether or not to save my brother is up to me!"
Ling Yun's eyes lit up, revealing an expression of appreciation. Yan Ruyu actually thought of the Dao Heart, not bad!
Ah Bao said resentfully:
"Brother~ What I said is exactly the same as what Sister Ruyu said, so why don't you have this expression!"
Ling Yun's expression stiffened. "Don't worry about these details!"
Then, he patted Abao on the shoulder and said softly:
“Abao, I’ve never thought of you as a saint, nor have I ever thought of you as a pushover. I’ll support whatever you do!”
After speaking, Ling Yun coldly looked at the old Taoist priest in red robes:
"I'll give you a chance to live. Stop the sacrifice and leave this place!"
"Hmm?" The red-robed old Taoist was slightly taken aback by the other party's domineering attitude. He then looked at Ling Yun with disdain and said sarcastically:
"A mere martial artist at the third level of Martial Soul Realm dares to spout nonsense at me, how laughable!"
"I'm not in the mood to waste time with you all. The three of you are all excellent sacrificial vessels, haha..."
After saying that, the old Taoist in red robes reached out to Ling Yun and the other two, preparing to restrain them from a distance and throw them into the altar.
"Huh?" He suddenly realized that Ling Yun and the other two were not restrained by him.
"What happened?"
The old Taoist priest in red robes had a slight change in expression, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.
The next moment!
Ling Yun slightly raised his hand, and instantly! The old Taoist in red robes felt a terrifying force gripping his neck.
The old Taoist priest in red robes was utterly horrified, and said in a trembling voice:
"You...you are a cultivator!"
Unless one is a cultivator, how could they easily control themselves?
Ling Yun said coldly:
"Cultivators? Trash!"
As he spoke, he slowly increased the force.
Sensing his impending death, the old Taoist priest in red robes hurriedly shouted:
"Fellow Daoist, stop! I am willing to share the essence of the people of Pingfeng City with you!"
However, Ling Yun remained unmoved, continuing to increase his strength at a leisurely pace. The best punishment for someone is to let them die in despair and helplessness.
Seeing that Ling Yun was really going to kill him, the red-robed old Taoist gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, and roared:
"They want to kill me and prevent you from entering the Boundless World. Kill those three!"
boom!
The tens of millions of people in Pingfeng City were immediately enraged and rushed towards Ling Yun and his companions.
"Release the old immortal or you'll all die a horrible death!"
"The old immortal was such a kind person, he even wanted to take us to the Boundless World, why did you kill him!"
"Hmph! Anyone who dares to touch this old immortal will have to step over our dead bodies first!"
"..."
Facing the surging crowd of Pingfeng City residents, Ling Yun coldly shouted:
"roll!"
boom!
Ling Yun's voice was very soft, yet it resounded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.
Instantly, the people of Pingfeng City collapsed to the ground, staring at Ling Yun in utter terror.
Seeing this, the old Taoist priest in red robes was filled with despair. He glared fiercely at Ling Yun and roared:
"I'm going to die with you!"
After saying that, the old Taoist priest in red robes began to self-destruct.
"You don't even have the right to self-destruct in front of me!"
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Ling Yun's lips as he slowly increased the force of his blows.
Fifteen minutes later, boom!
The old Taoist priest in red robes exploded with a bang.
Both body and soul were destroyed!
The entire altar and the four ritual implements were also blown up.
When the people of Pingfeng saw this, they all knelt on the ground and wailed.
"Old Immortal, you died such a tragic death! We are powerless to help you!"
"Why would you kill such a kind old immortal? Don't you have any conscience?!"
"If we continue the sacrifices, we will surely be able to revive the old immortal!"
"..."
Even after the old Taoist priest in red robes died, the people of Pingfeng City still did not realize the error of their ways and instead offered sacrifices to him.
Seeing this, Lingyun smiled and asked Abao and Yan Ruyu.
"These are the people you were supposed to save, but now they see us as the bad guys. Do you regret it?"
A Bao and Yan Ruyu both shook their heads.
"We don't regret it. We didn't do this just to make the people of Pingfeng City grateful."
"What's the difference between doing things for reward and going astray!"
Ling Yun smiled and nodded, noting that A Bao and Yan Ruyu's Dao hearts were quite steadfast.
Immediately, Ling Yun looked at the people of Pingfeng City and coldly shouted:
"Wake up! That so-called Limitless World of evil is a lie. There is no Limitless World in the world."
He only wants you to sacrifice yourselves to obtain his essence and help him break through his current realm.
As for the divine power he gave you, it was only to make your bodies and souls stronger, so that your essence would be purer.
He did this for his own selfish desires, and you still consider him a good person!
Do you know why no one in Pingfeng City can live to be fifty? It's because when you reach fifty, your essence and spirit reach their purest state, and the evil path will absorb your essence and spirit!
Today he has reached a critical moment of breaking through to a higher realm and urgently needs spiritual essence, which is why he is holding this grand sacrifice!
Wake up!
Upon hearing Ling Yun's words, A Bao and Yan Ruyu were immediately shocked.
His voice seemed to possess an irresistible magic, compelling people to believe him unconditionally.
Soon the people of Pingfeng City realized the truth and knelt down in front of Ling Yun and his two companions.
He shouted devoutly:
"Thank you to the three immortals for saving the people of Pingfeng City!"
"We are so sorry, immortals. We mistook you for evil people. Please forgive us!"
Seeing that the people of Pingfeng City had suddenly realized their mistake, Abao smiled with relief and quickly raised his hand, shouting:
"Please don't kneel down, everyone. Go back to Pingfeng City. Don't believe any more rumors in the future."
The people of Pingfeng City stood up and surrounded Ling Yun and his companions as they walked towards Pingfeng City.
On the way, Abao was very happy. Lingyun noticed that he secretly took out a notebook and wrote down what happened that day.
"This kid even made himself a record of achievements!"
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled.
After carefully finishing writing, Abao put away his "record of merits" and then asked Lingyun:
"Brother, let me ask you a question. If Sister Ruyu and I don't get involved in this matter, will you?"
