"What?" Ji Mofan turned his head to ask.
“You righteous cultivators demand a just cause.” Xiao Wangyan’s voice was not loud, but his words were clear. Although he was tired, he was still conscious. “So as long as you firmly believe that what you are slaughtering is ‘evil,’ you can deceive the eyes of the Heavenly Dao for a short time.”
"After all, even the Heavenly Dao doesn't have three heads and six arms; it's bound to make mistakes sometimes."
Ji Mo Fan frowned, pondering Xiao Wangyan's words. His mind raced, and he looked at Xiao Wangyan with a puzzled expression. "What you said is very strange. Does the Heavenly Dao not have three heads and six arms? It's as if you've seen one before."
The people of this world have almost no way to see the Heavenly Dao; the only way is to ascend to the upper realm. But Xiao Wangyan is a demonic cultivator, and he can't even go down this path. So how come he seems to be so familiar with the Heavenly Dao in his words?
Xiao Wangyan fell silent. He had been leaning against Ji Mofan, but now he put all his weight on him, causing Ji Mofan to stumble.
"Hey!" Ji Mofan wanted to complain, but saw that the man had already closed his eyes and was breathing steadily.
His voice was stuck in his throat.
Forget it, whether he's faking it or not, we probably won't be able to get any more information out of him now.
If someone is truly asleep, you can't wake them up; if they're pretending to be asleep, you can't wake them up at all.
After placing Xiao Wangyan in a relatively safe area, Ji Mofan drew Yongxue from his waist and used his lightness skill to ascend into the air.
Li Jinchu was almost unable to maintain order over there.
Although few people would say no to the idea of fighting heretics, even if people are injured or killed, it would not cause panic.
The problem is that Qu Jin's actions were completely illogical, and no one knew how he managed to drain someone of all their strength and kill them out of thin air.
No one knew if they would be next, and the spreading fear threw everyone into chaos. The scattering and fleeing disrupted the formation, further instilling fear in those who were not yet so swayed, and the entire group became increasingly disorganized.
"Go back, all of you!"
A chilling wind swept over everyone, momentarily calming their minds, which were gripped by fear.
Ji Mofan stood before the crowd, sword in hand, with a large black bird flying around him. The oppressive aura emanating from this ancient beast made everyone almost afraid to move.
But the stalemate was quickly broken by the next scream, and the falling companion made everyone's fear rise again.
"What right do you have to stop us!"
"That's right! We've been living peacefully with the Supreme Venerable for so many years. If we don't expose these things, we're clearly safe!"
Their faces were filled with urgent fear; they desperately wanted to get away from this place of trouble and from Qu Jin, who had brought them disaster.
"Foolish! Do you think you can achieve peace and prosperity by pretending to be deaf and dumb?" Li Jinchu, who had been maintaining order here, almost laughed out of anger.
"Knowing that the problem exists, yet choosing to turn a blind eye—is this your wisdom in dealing with things?"
"You'll all die without even knowing how you died!"
"Stop spreading alarmist rumors," someone mustered their courage and stood up to Li Jinchu. "The Supreme Venerable has been suppressing our cultivation world for over a thousand years, and nothing has ever happened to him before. Why is he suddenly slaughtering living beings today?"
"Isn't it all because of people like you who insisted on provoking him!"
Li Jinchu looked at this courageous person and narrowed her eyes.
"It seems you're planning to side with Qu Jin."
His tone turned cold, and he stopped addressing Qu Jin by his given name instead of "Venerable One."
The person who just spoke over here seems to want to say something more.
But Li Jinchu didn't give him any chance. A sword aura shot out from her hand, lifting him directly up from among the crowd.
Amid the man's shrill curses, Li Jinchu didn't turn her head and threw him directly into the swirling vortex of the hurricane.
A hurricane of mixed spiritual, demonic, and demonic forces swept over the body that had been put into his mouth, tearing it to shreds in an instant.
The curses and screams disappeared simultaneously. Li Jinchu's actions instantly silenced the people around him who were still arguing.
Still dare to have objections? Young Master Li is really capable of killing his own people!
Isn't he afraid of damaging his Dao heart?
However, the clear golden spiritual power surging around him showed no sign of wavering.
“Simply running away is not the solution.” Ji Mofan’s voice came from behind the group. “If Qu Jin really seizes the life force of this small world and uses it for his own purposes, when he breaks through to the Mahayana stage and ascends to immortality, let alone any one of us, even if we destroy this world, it will only be a matter of him lifting a finger.”
The people caught in the middle looked at each other in bewilderment.
They have believed in the Supreme Venerable One for nearly a thousand years.
Even with testimonies right in front of us now, old beliefs cannot be easily changed.
Given the overwhelming disparity in strength and the deliberately created atmosphere of terror, these people had no desire to fight back; their only thought was to escape.
The farther away you get, the better.
But Ji Mofan mercilessly enlightened them.
Escape? Where can you escape to?
As long as he is still in this world, even if he has fallen into the underworld, for Qu Jin, who has the ability to ascend to the upper realm after breaking through the Mahayana stage, what difficulty would it be to retrieve a few ghosts from the underworld?
Unless they have the ability to escape this small world.
However, they cannot use such unorthodox methods to greatly increase their strength like Qu Jin.
Even using the same method, it would definitely not be as fast as Qu Jin's speed.
