Chapter 856 Cannibalism(1/2)
Crazy, all crazy, all become monsters!
This is Zhu Yu's only feeling at the moment.
Zhao Ning, who stood on the roof with his arms folded and looked like he was staying out of the incident, certainly felt differently.
He was not surprised by the behavior of the local dignitaries. He looked at everything in front of him indifferently without any intention of taking action. He was as detached as if he was watching a monkey show.
The revolutionary war in Hebei and Hedong made Zhao Ning accustomed to the words and deeds of local dignitaries. When their interests were harmed, they would take violent action. When someone resisted, they would brutally suppress it. But when the opponent was so powerful that they could not defeat it,
They will run faster than anyone else.
In the shadow of the city tower not far away, Liu Huang stood respectfully behind Xiao Buyu. Seeing that the two groups in front of the city gate were about to fight, he couldn't help but say:
"Great Master, these local dignitaries have become evil-hearted and have become no different from demons. If we don't take action, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep them all."
Xiao Buyu showed contempt: "What are you leaving them for?"
Liu Huang was surprised and puzzled: "Great Master, these dignitaries are quite powerful. If the entire clan joins the war, they can help us defend the city until reinforcements arrive."
Xiao Buyu sneered: "Do you expect them to play a role in the battle?"
Liu Huang was confused: "Can't you?"
"They're just a bunch of losers who don't succeed enough and fail more than they do!" Xiao Buyu flicked his sleeves, "It's better to count on them than a bunch of pigs and dogs."
Liu Huang was speechless.
He understood what Xiao Buyu meant.
Xiao Buyu was indeed able to take action tonight. With his powerful cultivation in the middle stage of the King's Realm, he suppressed all the noble clans and could only stay in the city, and forced all their practitioners to participate in the battle to defend the city.
But so what?
When this group of resentful, helpless, and unwarranted people arrive on the battlefield, they are the biggest destabilizing factor, and their effects will only be counterproductive.
Once the fierce fighting started, Xiao Buyu was entangled by the masters of the resistance army. Without the strong suppression of the divine religion, they would turn around and run away without hesitation, thinking only of escaping for their own lives and not paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
That would only cause the army to collapse.
"Do you really want to open the city gate and let them escape?" Liu Huang felt that this was not an option.
If the local wealthy families flee, the rich households in the city will follow them. If the divine religion doesn’t stop the local wealthy families, what’s the use of stopping those wealthy households? If it’s a wealthy tribe and all the wealthy households flee, and there will be chaos in the city, the people may flee with them, but maybe they won’t—
—They are more likely to help the rebels outside the city!
When the city is filled with rebellion, it is impossible for the demon subduing army or the demon slaying army not to stand together with their family, relatives and friends in the city, to continue to help the cult to fight against the rebels, and to fight in a battle without any consequences.
Die in a battle where the odds are against you!
Judging from the current situation in the army, it would be good if the soldiers did not turn back and attack the cult.
In other words, the flight of local wealthy families will lead to the direct loss of Jiyin City!
“During the National War in the past, when the Beihu army attacked, the rich and wealthy people in the city would flee in panic after hearing the news, and the government and army would basically not stop them.
"But you also know that at that time, some people escaped and some stayed. Although there were not many rich and powerful landlords and wealthy people who destroyed their families to relieve the difficulties, there were always some."
Xiao Buyu did not answer Liu Huang's question, but began to recall the past with a complex expression, "At that time, the war was dangerous and the situation was difficult, even worse than today's Jiyin City. Those who stayed to help defend the city often
There were countless casualties and the city could not be defended.
"But during the five-year national war, in all states, counties, gates and cities, whenever the Beihu army attacked, there would always be many people who stayed and sacrificed their lives to fight for the national calamity, fighting to the death with the Beihu army. Even those who did not suffer military disasters
Everywhere, a large number of young and strong warriors volunteered to serve on the battlefield.
“At that time, there was no divine religion, God’s glory had not illuminated this land, God’s blessings had not yet protected all people, and God’s faith had not yet spread throughout the states and counties.”
Having said this, Xiao Buyu paused and looked a little sad, "Nowadays, God's altars are standing everywhere, and God's light has long enveloped the world. God's warriors are willing to fight to the death for Jiyin City, but the resistance army cannot
The troops had just arrived at the city, and the city was in such chaos!
"The rich families in the city used to be the powerful help of the divine religion and shared weal and woe with the divine religion. Now, no one is willing to stay. They all want to escape with their families, and they even do not hesitate to become enemies of the divine religion and fight with the soldiers of the divine religion.
!
"Not long ago, many of them were still believers in God, devout believers who offered incense to God!"
Xiao Buyu's words came to an abrupt end, very abruptly.
Liu Huang's heart beat like a drum.
He also wanted to ask: How could this happen?
But in front of Xiao Buyu, he didn't dare to think about the answer to this question.
Xiao Buyu suddenly turned his head and stared at Liu Huang: "Master Liu, tell me, is this a problem with the divine religion? Is it that the divine religion is not as good as the imperial court? Is it that the army of divine warriors is not as good as the resistance army? Is it?
In the eyes of ordinary people, the gods are not as good as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty?"
Liu Huang felt like he had been slapped with a sap, his head was dizzy and his legs were weak. He knelt down and knelt on the ground. At this moment of life and death, Liu Huang didn't have much time to think or hesitate, so he quickly said:
"The light blesses all living beings, and all living beings follow you! Great Master's grace, this is definitely not a problem of divine religion. God's light spreads everywhere, bringing only blessings to the world, and it is definitely not comparable to the imperial court of demons!"
Xiao Buyu did not let Liu Huang go, and pressed forward step by step: "Then tell me, why did the Caozhou Divine War fail? Why can't Jiyin City even be defended?"
Liu Huang was shaking like chaff and sweating like rain. He knew that he had to express his attitude immediately, otherwise his head might fall to the ground in the next moment:
"This, this, this is all the problem of the local big families! It is Li, Wang, Huang and other local dignitaries who are as obsessed and as cowardly as mice. They are unwilling to practice God's will and do not understand God's glory. At the critical moment, they became God's
Traitor, hindered the army of gods to conquer demons!
"They, they deserve death!"
Xiao Buyu didn't ask Liu Huang any more, turned around and looked at the group of wealthy people in front of the city gate.
Liu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test of life and death.
In times of crisis, attitude is very important, and ideological consciousness is even more important. If he is not firm in his stance and dares to doubt the existence of the divine religion, he may be eliminated by Xiao Buyu immediately.
The Caozhou Divine War failed, Jiyin City could no longer be defended, and the Divine Cult had no choice but to retreat. After this incident spread, it dealt a huge blow to the Divine Cult's prestige.
Believers everywhere will doubt whether the divine religion is really powerful, doubt whether God is really omniscient and omnipotent, and doubt whether God can really allow them to cross to the Kingdom of God and enjoy eternal bliss.
In order to avoid this suspicion, the divine religion must have a reasonable explanation for the failure of the Caozhou Divine War.
The divine religion needs to give an explanation to its believers.
The Divine Religion wants its believers to realize that the failure of the Caozhou Divine War is definitely not the Divine Religion’s responsibility, let alone that the Golden Light God is not omniscient and omnipotent.
It's not a problem of the divine religion, it's not a problem of the Golden Light God, so how can it be whose problem it is?
It doesn’t matter whose fault it is, what’s important is that someone must take responsibility and take over the blame for the failure of the Caozhou Divine War.
After much thought, no one is more suitable than the local dignitaries in Caozhou. They have strength, weight, and the ability to hinder the war situation, and they have indeed engaged in unethical behavior.
As a fourth-grade master of the divine sect and a general of Caozhou’s divine war army, if Liu Huang didn’t even have this understanding, then he might end up like the local wealthy people in Caozhou and be picked out as a scapegoat by Xiao Buyu
.
Without enough time to feel the joy of surviving the disaster, Liu Huang suddenly discovered that Xiao Buyu's robes were billowing, his long hair was flying, his Qi was rising like a tide, and a dazzling pillar of light rose from his body!
"What does the Great Master want?" Liu Huang was afraid that the other party would change his mind and kill him.
The pillar of light rushed out of a huge vortex of true energy like an eye in the sky under the sea of stars, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding world swarmed in. The clouds in the night sky rolled with lightning, thunder, and hurricanes.
Xiao Buyu's wild goose-like figure slowly rose up in the sky above the city. He said without looking back: "You were right just now. The powerful people in Caozhou deserve to die.
"Since they deserve to die, they must die."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was. He climbed up into the sky like lightning, floating up and down among countless ancient and mysterious runic light pillars. His long hair was flying and his robes were flying. He looked down at all the living beings in Jiyin City, like a god.
Come into the world.
...
On the roof, Zhao Ning, with his arms folded and a lazy attitude, watched Xiao Buyu sacrifice himself to the realm of Wangji Realm, rising majestically into the air, showing a miraculous vision, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had no intention of causing discomfort to the other party or preventing him from showing off his power.
The conversation between Xiao Buyu and Liu Huang just now fell into Zhao Ning's ears word for word, so Zhao Ning was sure that the other party's actions were beneficial to him. To be precise, it was beneficial to him to establish the White Clothes Sect.
He decided to watch the show quietly.
At the moment when Xiao Buyu revealed his energy and opened up the realm of Wangji Realm, the elders of the three families, Li, Wang, and Huang, raised their heads at the same time. The heads of the three families also jumped out of the carriage in the queue, and looked into the air with horror.
The practitioners from the three families, including the old, weak, women and children, all looked up at Xiao Buyu in panic, trembling as if they were walking on thin ice.
Before the war, it was normal for local wealthy families to flee with their families. They knew that this would offend the divine sect, but they never thought that Xiao Buyu would take action against them.
Xiao Buyu's voice was like thunder falling to the ground, exploding in the ears of everyone in Jiyin City:
"God is omniscient and omnipotent. He can relieve our sufferings in this life and enable us to enjoy eternal happiness in the next life. God loves the world, saves all living beings, and is merciful and merciful. God has only one requirement for us, and that is to believe in Him devoutly and worship Him.
, carry out His will and spread His blessing.
"But you can't do such a simple thing.
“At the critical moment, you failed to withstand God’s test, and were deceived by demons and robbed of your mind. You abandoned your faith in God and became the most despicable traitor!
"Now, because of your betrayal, Jiyin City is about to fall into the hands of demons! You have insulted the glory of God, brought disaster to the world, and are more hateful than demons.
"You deserve to die!
"Now, you have to accept God's punishment!"
To be continued...
