Zhuge Chengxi: "..."
He stared at Lan Tiao for a while, frowning and muttering, "It seems that the gods are not that scary. I heard from my uncle that all believers of the Compassionate Tribe believe that the gods are more important than their own lives and dignity. The gods are above everything in the world, above everything. Now it seems that perhaps my uncle was exaggerating. In your eyes, the gods are not even as scary as your sister."
Lan Tiao asked, "So, why did you come to the Compassion Clan?"
Zhuge Chengxi waved his folding fan and said with a grin, "To see the so-called [God]!"
Then he added, "Go and bring me more believers."
Lan Tiao whispered, "Then wouldn't that make me an accomplice?"
"If you don't want to, I..." Before Zhuge Chengxi could finish the second half of his sentence, "I will kill you," Lan Tiao hypnotized herself and said, "I'm not an accomplice. I only called my companions here to collect the bodies of my fallen brothers, and also to deal with this sacrifice named Zhuge Chengxi... But if they can't defeat the sacrifice, it's none of my business..."
Zhuge Chengxi: ???
He looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, thinking that Lan Tiao's thinking was absolutely flawless, logically consistent, and well-reasoned...
Wait, the Burning Heart Flame can burn people who "kill people without feeling any guilt". Lan Tiao has now become an accomplice. Although she did not kill anyone with her own hands, theoretically she also meets the requirement of "having no guilt". So... can Lan Tiao be burned to death now?
A charming red flame flashed in Zhuge Chengxi's eyes.
Lan Tiao was unharmed.
Just as Zhuge Chengxi was frowning, pondering the reason, he heard Lan Tiao say, "I'm sorry, but I really can't help it. I really want to leave here... I'm sorry, I hope you'll be reborn into a good family in your next life..."
Zhuge Chengxi's face darkened and he asked, "Are you mentally ill?"
Lan Tiao was about to go find his tribesmen when he heard Zhuge Chengxi's words. He stopped and turned around to ask, "Why do you say that, sir?"
Zhuge Chengxi said, "You kill people and then apologize to the victims. If that's not mental illness, what is it?"
Lan Tiao looked puzzled. "No, you were the one who killed people. It has nothing to do with me. And I do feel guilty towards them, but if you think about it from another perspective, I did this to free them..."
Zhuge Chengxi: "..." It's confirmed, you are sick.
Lan Tiao muttered to herself, "If the gods really appear, why can't they fulfill the wishes of humble believers... During the time I was away, I don't know if my sister was bullied. As the eldest brother, I should protect my younger siblings. As long as I'm around, no one is allowed to hurt them, not even the gods... I want to see my sister, why won't the gods let me go..."
Lan Tiao kept repeating herself, her words becoming incoherent and her mental state seemed off. Was she... stupid? Crazy? Deranged?
Zhuge Chengxi watched his body disappear into the distance and speculated, "Believers are supposed to be devout, but Lan Tiao loves his family more than he loves the gods. So... is he mentally disturbed?"
Lan Tiao was mumbling something in a daze, which she couldn't even hear clearly. Not long after running, she ran into a group of tribesmen.
"Lan Tiao, what's wrong with you? Where are your companions Gongsun Zimang and the others?" One of the tribesmen stepped forward and asked with concern.
Lan Tiao woke up as if from a dream, finally breaking free from his previous state. He cried out in tears: "Dead! All dead!"
"Don't be anxious, just take your time and tell me! How many people died? Who killed them?"
Lan Tiao just shook her head, pointed in a direction, and said nothing more. Seeing that they could not get any useful information, the tribesmen went in the direction Lan Tiao pointed.
Lan Tiao decided to go up the mountain to find the high priest. On the way, he met more than a dozen teams of tribesmen who were capturing sacrifices. Lan Tiao pretended to be absent-minded, as if he was frightened and could not explain why.
These dozen or so teams of Compassionate Clan members were very confused. They were all believers in gods and possessed many different abilities. They were born with the ability to restrain practitioners, so why did Lan Tiao keep saying "dead"?
So, these dozen or so teams of compassionate people all came to Zhuge Chengxi with the intention of getting to the bottom of the matter.
They saw corpses all over the ground.
"Who dares to kill my people?"
"You bold lunatic! Why don't you surrender?"
A little green light appeared between the eyebrows.
The tribesmen showed their special abilities, but were then completely annihilated.
Only the master Zhuge Chengxi was left standing there lonely, with an expression that said "You are so weak" and continued to wait there.
"Tsk, a bunch of pathetic creatures who can only rely on the gods for mercy, and you still want to catch me?" Zhuge Chengxi sneered, waving his folding fan, looking leisurely and contented.
The reason why he didn't take the initiative to go up the mountain was that he was afraid that there would be too many people on the mountain. Although Fen Xinyan was very powerful, as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Zhuge Chengxi only has a pair of eyes. If someone hides behind him and hits him with a stick, knocking him unconscious, wouldn't that be bad?
Therefore, the best way is to use your own advantages to eliminate some people first and avoid being surrounded.
After Lan Tiao went up the mountain, she pretended to be frightened and in pain and went to see the high priest.
The high priest narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you smell like blood?"
“Dead, all dead… High Priest, help!”
"Who's dead?" Seeing his lost expression, the high priest used his power to calm his soul.
Lan Tiao's mood indeed stabilized.
He spoke with tears in his eyes, saying that while capturing the sacrifice, he encountered a young man in red. This young man's spiritual power was unrestrained. He not only killed Lei Fenfei and his men, but also killed the tribesmen who passed by. Thanks to his [Space] ability, he was able to escape...
The high priest frowned, skeptical, and asked, "How could there be a thief in the world who could resist the power of imprisonment?"
"Yes, high priest, you must bring more people. The young man in red is named Zhuge Chengxi. He comes from a big family and his methods are very strange. It is best to call everyone in the family..." Lan Tiao looked fearful, but was thinking in her heart: I hope you all go to heaven.
"This... a thief, is he worthy of such attention?" The high priest was at a loss for words. However, seeing Lan Tiao's frightened expression, he consoled her, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Although you've only just joined our tribe, we're all believers in the gods. We should take care of each other. We will all protect you."
"Thank you, High Priest." Lan Tiao looked touched.
So, not long after, Zhuge Chengxi, who was waiting in the woods, saw Lan Tiao leading a large group of tribesmen, walking towards him in a menacing manner.
Zhuge Chengxi was stunned.
Aren’t there too many people?
At the beginning, those Compassionate people came together in groups of a few or a dozen, why are there suddenly so many now!
