Chapter 196 Beginning
Bai Zhen pinched his throat in pain, he retched a few times, glanced at the tea that Master Ding Jing had already poured, picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.
The heat from the tea had not yet dissipated, and the temperature was just right. It flowed down Bai Zhen's throat, allowing him to regain his sanity.
Bai Zhen is actually not a pedantic person. He can also play tricks. In the court of Dayan, he never feels disgusted when he takes advantage of the conflicts between factions.
Because he understood what he was doing, everything he did was for the sake of making life better for the people, even for just one person. This was also the philosophy of their Flower Splitting Society.
It doesn't matter that his hands are stained with power and that he is discriminated against by fellow Taoists in the six major alliances. He always adheres to the principles of his master who led him into the Fenhua Society.
His master, Ning Xiang, a former Xinghai Palace monk who was secretly ostracized for dividing the waterway into a rainfall-making faction for the common people, was known as someone who was not doing his job properly and was overly obsessed with power. She picked up the six-year-old Bai Zhen, who was affected by the emperor-changing war and was about to starve to death, from the river blocked by corpses, and spoke to him in tears.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Ning Xiang has a deep sense of responsibility towards the people, and she also passed this belief on to Bai Zhen.
"No matter what means are used, the people must survive."
"It's not just about stopping war, or epidemics or famine, but what's most important is to solve the problem of oppression."
"The oppression from the six alliances is too heavy."
Ning Xiang, who was ultimately convicted by Fu Wenta for advocating rebellion against the Six Great Alliances, never lost her ideals within the Fenhua Society. However, compared to the giant Six Great Alliances, the Fenhua Society was still too small.
And now, the letter that Master Ding Jing handed to Bai Zhen was indeed a key that gave him hope.
Bai Zhen held the letter in both hands and bowed solemnly to Ding Jing Zhenren, bowing slightly forward, feet slightly staggered, toes pointed at Ding Jing Zhenren. This was the first time Bai Zhen performed the etiquette of a junior to an elder cultivator outside the Fenhua Society, and he also changed his self-proclaimed name to his given name as a sign of humility.
"Thank you, Master, for trusting me and revealing this important secret."
Ding Jing Zhen's eyes flickered. He stood up and walked over to Bai Zhen, holding his arms and helping him up. His words were filled with both joy and a heavy message for the younger generation: "Little friend Bai, there's no need to be so polite. I value your dedication to serving the people and your selfless dedication. This is a rare quality within the alliance."
He stared at Bai Zhen's raised eyes and said with a faint dignity: "Therefore, I want to give you something to do."
Bai Zhen did not hesitate and replied respectfully, "Please give your orders, Master."
His decisiveness surprised Ding Jing Zhenren, who didn't even ask about the content. But seeing the bright fire burning in Bai Zhen's eyes, Ding Jing Zhenren understood according to his own logic.
For Bai Zhen, the fact that Master Ding Jing was willing to take out this letter represented his stance. As long as this stance was consistent with his and Fenhua Society's philosophy, there was no need to hesitate.
For many years, the Fenhua Society and the other five alliances have looked down on each other, and there have been many cultivators like Bai Zhen who have no scruples about the six major alliances.
Using Bai Zhen as a starting point was indeed a brilliant move. Master Ding Jing sighed inwardly and spoke slowly, "I want you to spread the news that high-ranking cultivators within the six alliances are colluding with evil forces, both within the alliances and among the people."
"Why not just take this letter and confront the Inner Affairs Hall?" Bai Zhen was a little puzzled. His towering figure was like a war hammer, and he wanted to just take this letter and charge back to the Inner Affairs Hall to wipe out the mess. Although he knew it was impossible to bring down a Divine Transformation cultivator like this, the fire burning in his heart could not be easily extinguished.
Ding Jing Zhenren's answer also mentioned his concerns about not being able to defeat Hui Xizi.
"After all, this is just a piece of paper. It's absolutely impossible to sentence a Spiritual Transformation Sword Cultivator to death based on what's written there. Moreover, if she truly is colluding with evil cultivators, it's not impossible that she would simply slaughter the world if she were exposed."
"A sword cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage can overturn mountains and rivers with a single thought. Even if the other Spiritual Transformation ancestors were to come out at the same time, it would probably be a bloody war that would stain the world. By then, all living things would be devastated. Cultivators like me might be able to escape to the sea, but the common people would suffer another unprovoked disaster."
Bai Zhen nodded silently: "It's really superficial."
Holding his hands behind his back, Master Ding Jing lowered his voice and continued, "Besides, didn't you notice that the letter mentioned 'us' and also stated that supplies were in short supply within the alliance?"
After a moment's thought, Bai Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid the number of people in the alliance who are colluding with evil cultivators is beyond our expectations! Moreover, there are quite a few high-ranking people among them."
Bai Zhen's words made Ding Jing Zhenren nod in satisfaction. "That's right. Therefore, we can't just throw out evidence at will. Doing so will only give those who have converted to evil the opportunity to harm loyal people."
"I understand." Bai Zhen calmed his breath and analyzed the situation, gently turning the letter in his hand. "First, spread vague news within the alliance. On the one hand, it will make the cultivators in the alliance alert. On the other hand, it can also be manipulated subtly to stir up suspicion among the cultivators who are secretly colluding with the evil cultivators. After all, this information should be extremely confidential."
"Wait until the time is right and arrangements are complete, then bring out the evidence." Bai Zhen continued to mutter. A plan seemed to form quickly in his mind, so fast that it seemed as if he had already prepared it in his mind.
Maybe Bai Zhen had some extra thoughts that Ding Jing Zhenren didn't know about, but Ding Jing Zhenren didn't think it mattered. After all, Luo Xuanyi just wanted to disrupt the six major alliances. The more chaotic the world was, the better.
In fact, it is indeed possible to directly take out the letter, and it is not impossible for the world to be in chaos at that time. However, Luo Xuanyi's current strength is not enough to be in front of the cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage, so this plan was rejected.
"Thank you for your advice, Master. But can this letter remain in your hands? I will definitely promise not to tell anyone about the source of this letter." Bai Zhen said solemnly.
"Of course, if necessary, you can show it to someone you absolutely trust."
Zhenren Dingjing was full of righteousness and waved his robe.
"What we must do is to dig out the rot in the roots of the six great alliances, and return people to their humanity, and heaven to heaven! This is the righteous path!"
Bai Zhen's blood boiled when he heard this, and he even raised his iron fist and shouted a few times, "People go to people, and heaven goes to heaven!" He couldn't wait to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Master Ding Jing and left. Seeing Bai Zhen rushing out of the door frame, Master Ding Jing always felt like he was seeing Kohan.
He finally relaxed at this moment, and thinking back to his false words just now, he felt uncomfortable and had to drink several cups of cold tea to suppress it.
He wrote down the entire conversation and sent out a sound transmission talisman. A golden light flashed, and then it disappeared into the air, flying silently to the south.
At this time, Luo Xuanyi, who was in the south and deliberately took a different route from Guifo, finally arrived at his destination - Guhu Town.
