"Release them!"
A compassionate female voice resounded throughout the square.
Hiss~
Everyone gasped in shock; someone actually wanted to save someone from Gu Yuetang's clutches.
Has she gone mad?
Gu Yuetang narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with elation. "Lin Muyao, Lin Muyao, you really did come!"
At this moment, Gu Yuetang was in a great mood. The pent-up frustration that had been weighing on his heart for many years could finally be released... um?
However, upon seeing the person who arrived, Gu Yuetang's face immediately froze, as if he had eaten shit.
The person who shouted was Huang Ling'er. She walked out from behind the crowd, and the cultivators in the square made way for her.
"Who is this fairy? She dares to demand the release of someone in public; she must be someone of extraordinary origin!"
"Great! Finally, someone can punish our master. Lin Jiandi's disciple is too pitiful; he shouldn't have been executed!"
"Exactly! Too much of a good thing can be bad; there's no need to go to such extremes!"
"..."
The cultivators exchanged telepathic messages, looking at Huang Ling'er as if she were a saint, hoping that she could save those millions of people.
After all, not many of those present were Gu Yuetang's confidants; most were cultivators who had been exploited by Gu Yuetang and desperately wanted Gu Yuetang to fall.
However, Gu Yuetang has already become an immortal, and in the ancient civilization, he can control everything and is invincible!
Huang Ling'er walked with lotus blossoms on her feet, a holy Buddhist light appearing behind her. She walked up to Lin Muyao's disciple, looked at Gu Yuetang, and put her hands together in prayer, saying:
“Benefactor Gu, our Buddha is merciful and does not like killing. Please spare these lives.”
Furukawa, who was standing nearby, quickly said:
"She is a powerful figure from the Golden Lion Clan! I thought she had left a few days ago, but I didn't expect her to still be in the Ancient Domain. I miscalculated!"
Only a very few people know about the Golden Lion Clan's rebellion against Buddhism, after all, the Golden Lion Clan was once known as the most loyal believers of Buddhism.
Rebellion against Buddhism is a great disgrace to Buddhism, and most star regions in the myriad worlds are unaware that the Golden Lion is no longer a Buddhist demon.
Gu Yuetang was so angry his teeth were chattering, but he couldn't show his anger. He put on a kind smile and said:
"Fairy Huang, it is not that I am killing them, but because Lin Muyao, whom they follow, is a sinner of my ancient civilization. These people must be executed in order to purify the cultivation world of my ancient civilization!"
Upon hearing the statement that Lin Muyao was a sinner of the ancient civilization, the cultivators below the stage showed indignation, but they could only feel indignation and dared not say a word of justice for Lin Muyao.
"Heh... I've become a sinner of the ancient civilization!" Ling Yao said self-deprecatingly, her eyes filled with desolation and resentment.
She risked everything, even shattering her foundation in cultivation, all for whom? Besides the common people of the ancient civilization, it was also for the ruling position of your Ancient Moon Hall.
As a result, his achievements overshadowed his master, and he was eventually killed when his usefulness was over. He ended up as a sinner.
"Oh?" A mocking smile flashed across Huang Ling'er's lips.
"Benefactor Gu, is Lin Muyao truly a sinner?"
With a loud bang!
Just then, a thunderclap resounded in the sky, startling everyone.
Is Lin Muyao truly a sinner?
These words pierced Gu Yuetang's heart like a sharp sword, leaving him momentarily breathless.
These words moved all the cultivators below the stage, and for a moment they almost spoke out in their hearts, feeling indignant on behalf of Lin Muyao.
Years of oppression have left them speechless with anger; those who dared to speak out are long gone.
Gu Yuetang's inner demons surged, his eyes turned bloodshot with uncontrollable rage, and terrifying spiritual power erupted from his palms and fingers as he impulsively wanted to eliminate Huang Ling'er.
For over a thousand years, who has dared to question him like this? Who has dared to seek justice for Lin Muyao? This is the Achilles' heel of Gu Yuetang!
Upon seeing this, the Yellow Emperor's expression suddenly turned cold. If Gu Yuetang dared to make a move, he would wipe out the Gu family!
Furukawa hurriedly sent a message:
"My lord, please do not act rashly! She is from the Golden Lion Clan! We cannot afford to offend either the Golden Lion Clan or the Buddhist sect!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuetang loosened his fist, his breathing instantly becoming steady, and looked at Huang Ling'er with a smile:
"Fairy Huang, you are new to the ancient realm, so please do not take any unfounded rumors you may hear seriously!"
As he spoke, his expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:
"The internal affairs of my ancient civilization have no need for Buddhist interference. These people are all sinners, and I will kill them. Fairy Huang only needs to perform a ritual to help them pass on after they die!"
Gu Yuetang's attitude was firm; he would never allow Huang Ling'er to take these people away. This was his bargaining chip to lure Lin Muyao out.
The blazing fire that had just ignited in the hearts of the cultivators was instantly extinguished, and they all lowered their heads and sighed inwardly.
Faced with the overwhelming power of Gu Yue Tang, Huang Ling'er remained calm and composed. Pointing to the cultivators who were about to be executed, she said in a deep voice:
"In Buddhism, we emphasize refraining from all evil and doing all good, purifying one's mind, and even more so, saving a life is considered more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda."
These monks may seem like sinners to you, but to me they are not guilty enough to warrant death; all can be saved.
As the Holy Maiden of the Golden Lion Clan of Buddhism, I demand the lives of these more than three million cultivators from the ancient benefactor.
Would you, benefactor Gu, be willing to give me, Huang Ling'er, this face, and would you be willing to give face to Buddhism?
Of course, we Buddhists are not domineering and will not interfere in the internal affairs of your ancient civilization.
"If you are unwilling, I, Huang Ling'er, will leave immediately, but I will inform the Buddha of the ancient benefactor's massacre of millions of lives."
After speaking, Huang Ling'er clasped her hands together and looked at Gu Yuetang with a cold gaze.
The square fell silent again, and Huang Ling'er's voice boomed like thunder in Gu Yuetang's ears.
Gu Yuetang secretly gasped. Although Huang Ling'er spoke in a grand and respectful manner, describing Buddha as compassionate and merciful, everyone in the heavens and the myriad realms knew that Buddhism was the most domineering force.
If this incident gives Buddhism a reason to invade ancient civilization, then Gu Yue Tang will be unable to stop it, and its rule will collapse in an instant.
They are also highly likely to be publicly executed.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuetang clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly. He had considered killing Huang Ling'er, but that would only make things worse.
Furukawa, who was standing nearby, quickly transmitted his voice:
"My lord, release her. I dare say that Huang Ling'er has nothing to do with Lin Muyao; it's purely out of Buddhist nature."
"We can't afford to offend Buddhists. If we befriend them, why would we be afraid of Lin Muyao?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Gu Yuetang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. "Yes, if we befriend the Buddhists, what are we afraid of Lin Muyao for!"
Previously, Gu Yuetang had been plagued by inner demons and lost his calm judgment.
Immediately, Gu Yuetang smiled, clasped his hands together, and said devoutly:
“The Fairy Huang is right. We should be lenient when we can. These people do not deserve to die. Let the Fairy Huang guide them!”
Their attitude suddenly changed, and they didn't seem to be threatened, leaving everyone somewhat confused. However, these more than three million people were ultimately saved.
Too many people died unjustly in the ancient civilization, and the people really don't want to see anyone else die unjustly.
Meng Gong breathed a heavy sigh of relief and murmured:
"It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive."
Huang Ling'er nodded in satisfaction and smiled:
“The ancient benefactor is truly compassionate and a person of great kindness! This good deed will surely be known to the Buddha.”
