As for why the Compassionate People think that they are on the right path, the reason is very simple. No matter how powerful the spiritual master is, they cannot resist the methods of the Compassionate People. As long as the green teardrop mark between their eyebrows flashes and lights up, the spiritual masters will lose control of their bodies and will not be able to use any magic power. They will become stiff wooden men, and apart from speaking, blinking and breathing, they cannot even move a finger, just like Situ Lianzi in front of him.
"The thief has no power to fight back in front of the believers of the gods."
“Only belief in gods is orthodox.”
"As long as they are willing to become believers in the gods and stop being thieves, we can give them a chance to reform."
At this time, a little girl in the sacrificial tribe asked: "Mother, the thief even cruelly killed his own relatives. Why should we forgive such a person?"
The mother smiled and touched her daughter's head, then replied, "Because the gods are merciful, they are willing to give the living a chance to reform. They also want to redeem the dead and dispel their resentment."
The father beside him added: "We hold sacrifices not to kill people, but to make the gods feel our loyalty. Recruiting believers for the gods is also a manifestation of loyalty."
The little girl nodded, not quite understanding, and felt that the gods were great and tolerant.
At this moment, the teardrop mark on the high priest's brow continued to emit a holy and misty glow. Gradually, the whites of Situ Lianzi's eyes were also dyed with a layer of light green, and the resentful expression on his face was gradually replaced by calmness.
"Go ahead," the high priest encouraged gently.
Situ Lianzi nodded, and relying on the contractual induction between herself and her twin sister, she ran quickly in one direction.
Seeing this, tears welled up on the brows of several members of the Compassionate Tribe, and they actually followed closely behind Situ Lianzi, at a speed comparable to his.
…
…
"My brother is disobedient!" Situ Xuelian, with her bridal veil covering her head, said in a panic, "He's coming to find us with the sacrificial tribe!"
"Your brother rebelled?" Chu Zhuzhu still didn't know what the sacrificial tribe was like. She quickly asked, "Are sacrificial tribes very powerful?"
Lei Zihe had no time to answer Chu Zhuzhu's questions. He said, "Xuelian, sever your relationship with Lianzi. Saving your life is the most important thing!"
Chu Zhuzhu turned around and called out, "Uncle Hot Tea?"
Recha didn't reply either. After all, he was essentially a puppet, but he was better than Situ Lianzi. He still retained a little consciousness in his body, but this consciousness was only that of a seven or eight-year-old, and his personality was rather dull. The reason why he was so talkative before was because he was secretly controlled by Lei Zihe. Those words were what Lei Zihe wanted to say, but in order to maintain his dignity as the captain, he let "Recha" speak for him.
Recha followed Lei Zihe expressionlessly. Chu Zhuzhu didn't get a response, so she gritted her teeth and thought about whether to escape separately. But then she rejected the idea. She was unfamiliar with the place, what if they got lost if they escaped separately?
Moreover, Lei Zihe obviously knew the safe path here and could avoid insects, ants, birds and beasts in advance. Therefore, Chu Zhuzhu did not dare to fall behind or lose her temper.
Situ Xuelian said anxiously, "I can't sever the connection between me and Lianzi... He's coming soon!"
Among the ten major forces in Huocheng, there is one called "Lei Mansion". The entire force is composed of descendants and various relatives of the Lei family. The captain of the team, Lei Zihe, is a child of this family, but he is a concubine's son and is not valued by his father. He is also under pressure from his stepmother and does not give him resources for cultivation. Therefore, everything he has now is earned by his own hard work. Situ Xuelian's father is a servant in the Lei Mansion. This servant is responsible for protecting Lei Zihe. Lei Zihe and Situ Xuelian grew up together since childhood and have a deep relationship. Even when he heard that the sacrificial tribe was about to catch up, Lei Zihe was unwilling to abandon his childhood sweetheart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on for another stick of incense. As soon as the time is up, we can get out of the woods!"
Situ Xuelian shook her head and said quickly, "It's too late. Lianzi is very fast. He can only sense me, not you. As long as you separate from me and find a safe place to hide, you will definitely be able to leave alive!"
"If you die, what's the point of me escaping with this bunch of trash? I will never abandon you!"
As he spoke, Lei Zihe cast some kind of magic spell. The hot tea uncle following behind him actually had his feet weathered in the air. The weathered feet formed a boosting force, pushing Lei Zihe a long distance in an instant.
Lei Zihe held Situ Xuelian in one hand and continued to run. Recha, as a puppet, appeared beside his master in an instant. This time, the parts of his legs below the knees disappeared completely. Lei Zihe's speed increased again. In just a blink of an eye, he completely left Lan Tiao and others behind.
"Run slower!" Chu Zhuzhu was so anxious that she wanted to throw the kitchen knife away. She didn't even bother to think about why Recha sacrificed herself to help Lei Zihe.
At this time, Lei Fenfei said, "If we can't catch up, let's run in another direction. Can't you hear me? Situ Lianzi and that sacrificial tribe are chasing Situ Xuelian. It would be safer for us to separate."
Chu Zhuzhu nodded, thinking that what Lei Fenfei said made sense. Suddenly, the voice of Uncle Hot Tea echoed like thunder in their ears: "You have all drunk my tea. If you don't take a second cup within three days, your whole body will fester... If you don't want to die, find a way to follow this uncle."
"What?" Chu Zhuzhu's face changed drastically. There was indeed something wrong with the tea!
Lei Fenfei was not surprised at all. He said in a low voice, "Let's flee separately now. When we are safe, we will go find Lei Zihe and reunite."
"Ciguang Swamp is so big, how can we find the captain?" Chu Zhuzhu asked hurriedly.
Lei Fenfei stopped talking nonsense. He had left a poisonous insect in Situ Xuelian's body before. As long as Situ Xuelian was alive, he would have a way to find her. If she died, Lei Fenfei would not have to look for Lei Zihe...
After all, Lei Zihe showed deep affection. If Situ Xuelian died, Lei Zihe would be in a bad mood and would probably say, "My sweetheart is gone, I want you all to be buried with her."
Besides, everyone just met by chance, and "Hot Tea" poisoned the tea, definitely wanting to control everyone. Lei Fenfei didn't want to rely on others for his life and death, so he decided to find a place to hide and check his body to see if there was any way to detoxify himself.
