Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty The Real Hero
Chapter 1141 The real hero
After thinking about who Jiang Chen was, he understood King Wu's situation.
The fact that King Wu can become the King of Men shows that he is not a soft-hearted person, but he just pretends to be intolerant.
This is definitely not because he is soft-hearted, but because he has no choice but to do it as a last resort. And in the human race of the immortal world, what can make King Wu have no choice but to do it?
The answer is obvious, apart from the Lord of Heavenly Palace, there are only his subordinates.
Jiang Chen has been here for so long. Except for King Wu, the upper echelons of the human race in the immortal world have not seen anyone else. Even the Dharma Lord, who is inseparable from King Wu, has not appeared.
This clearly explains the problem. King Wu was afraid that he had lost control of the human race in the fairy world. So he did not force the order, but let everyone do it voluntarily.
This is leaving room for himself, and also for others, lest Fa Zun and others really make up their minds to betray the human race because of his order.
"His Holiness is in retreat, so he cannot come to see His Majesty."
Of course, King Wu couldn't tell the truth and started to make excuses for Fa Zun. He couldn't tell Jiang Chen that Fa Zun was now at the residence of the Lord of Heavenly Palace and discuss with him how to join forces with the demon clan, right?
In that rage, Jiang Chen might just destroy the entire human race in the Immortal Realm. The Fa Zun is guilty, so is he, and the higher-ups of the human race in the Immortal Realm are also guilty, but why are the lower-level people to blame? They shouldn't be implicated.
With Jiang Chen's character, even if he really wanted to take action, he would only target people related to the Dharma Master and would not implicate innocent people, let alone those at the bottom.
After all, the bottom class has no choice at all. Do you really think they are willing to go to the fairy world? It’s not because they have no other choice.
But King Wu obviously didn't think so. In his eyes, Jiang Chen's image was ruthless and ruthless. He killed all of the human family's families without even frowning, regardless of the consequences, just because they disobeyed his orders.
.
He treats aristocratic families like this, let alone ordinary human beings. How can he be good if he falls into his hands?
Because he was worried that Jiang Chen would destroy the human race in the immortal world, King Wu never dared to tell Jiang Chen the true situation of the human race in the immortal world before atonement.
This is the rule of the human race. When dealing with people who have made meritorious deeds, they must be very cautious and will not kill them easily. But for criminals, they will not even give them a chance to defend themselves, and they will kill them directly.
"The Human King will protect his subordinates, but I don't know if they are worthy of you doing this?"
Jiang Chen glanced at King Wu indifferently, knowing that he would not say anything. Jiang Chen simply ignored him and looked at the demon clan and the people of all clans on the other side.
Although he didn't ask anything, Jiang Chen had confirmed King Wu's attitude and would rather die than betray the human race. After confirming this, Jiang Chen felt relieved.
There is a saying that if possible, Jiang Chen would not take action against King Wu. Killing the murderous king would be a bad name after all. How could Jiang Chen bear such a bad name despite his glory?
He is the ninth human emperor of the human race, and must be the most perfect. Not only can he not bear the bad reputation of killing the murderous king, but he cannot also admit the fact that the human race was divided in his hands.
King Wu disagreed with his ideas, so he split the human race and became his enemy.
Wrong! These are all false, they are all schemes of the Human Emperor and the Human King. King Wu pretended to surrender to the enemy and cooperated with the Human Emperor to defeat the enemy army. This is correct.
The idea of dividing the human race does not exist at all. It is all a fiction.
The real fact is that when King Wu saw that the human race was in danger, he took the initiative to ask for help. He would rather bear the crime of splitting the human race, but also pretended to join the enemy in order to disintegrate the enemy from within.
One of the purposes of Jiang Chen's visit to King Wu this time was to establish the truth about this matter. Whether this matter is true or false is not actually important. What is important is that Jiang Chen hopes it is true, so he can only be true.
As the human emperor, Jiang Chen cannot have any stains. As the emperor of heaven, he cannot have any stains.
Therefore, while the human race in the immortal world has not yet rebelled against the clan, Jiang Chen must resolve the only stain on his body as soon as possible. Turn the stain that split the human race into his merit.
If King Wu is willing to cooperate in this matter, everyone will naturally be happy. Jiang Chen doesn't mind clearing his name. But if he doesn't cooperate, it doesn't matter. King Wu is just a code name. King Wu can be King Wu, and so can others.
Just find someone to become a Martial King to cooperate with him!
But after all, this kind of thing cannot be seen in the light. It can only be said in private, and it is impossible to talk about it in front of everyone. Therefore, Jiang Chen must clear out the irrelevant personnel now.
"Should you do it yourself, or should I help you?"
Jiang Chen casually glanced at the strong men of the demon race and the strong men of all races who were pretending to be dead.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I'll do it myself."
Knowing that they were bound to die, no one dared to let Jiang Chen do it himself. They all smiled bitterly and killed themselves one after another, transforming themselves into heaven and earth.
Threatening the human race was not a problem at first. But whoever made them unlucky enough to threaten the human race in front of Jiang Chen was a big deal. Even Taiyi himself could not protect them.
It is actually the best choice for them to take the initiative to end it now. Otherwise, if they drag it on, they will only involve Tai Yi, making the matter worse and worse.
"Why, the Human King doesn't invite me to come in and sit down?"
After getting rid of the people who were in the way, Jiang Chen asked King Wu again. The King's palace is right in front, so he shouldn't be allowed to talk to him outside all the time, right?
King Wu is so powerful that even Taoist ancestors have to be polite when meeting Jiang Chen. The most powerful Emperor of Heaven in history is no joke.
"Your Majesty, please!"
If possible, King Wu really didn't want Jiang Chen to enter the Human King's Palace, but he also knew that he had no reason to refuse Jiang Chen, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite Jiang Chen in.
At this time, in the Human King's Hall, the senior officials of the Immortal Human Race were gathering together. The first time Jiang Chen walked into the Human King's Hall, he saw everyone sitting together with solemn faces, discussing something.
"Ah~~"
When they suddenly saw Jiang Chen walking in, the senior officials of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm were immediately dumbfounded. Some people couldn't hold back and exclaimed.
Then, everyone came to their senses one after another, and bowed to Jiang Chen with a worried look on their faces: "I didn't know that Your Majesty would be late in coming, and I missed your welcome. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you."
As he spoke, everyone's hearts suddenly rose. They had just been discussing how to persuade King Wu to give up his will to die and obey the orders of the Lord of Heavenly Palace honestly.
This move can be said to be a betrayal of the human race in a substantial sense. If Jiang Chen heard about it, they really couldn't imagine their fate.
Now, Jiang Chen is determined to kill them, so who in the world can save them?
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace? In front of Jiang Chen, it would be good if he could protect himself. How could he have the energy to take care of them?
Jiang Chen seemed to have arrived at his own home. He walked straight to the main seat and sat down majestically. Without asking anyone to get up, he asked straight to the point:
"I heard people say that you are planning to betray the human race. Is this the case?"
To deal with these people, Jiang Chen had no need to play riddles with them. He could just ask whatever he wanted. They had no qualifications to resist at all.
"No, there is no such thing!"
"This is definitely a rumor. Someone is making it up. We are loyal to the human race. We can learn from the sun and the moon. We have no intention of betraying the human race."
Although everyone thought so and almost did it, in front of Jiang Chen, how could they dare to admit it? They fell to their knees and loudly expressed their loyalty.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Chen couldn't comment, he picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly.
"of course it's true!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can swear an oath!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, everyone became even more panicked. They were afraid that Jiang Chen would kill them if he was unhappy. In order to show their loyalty, they dared to say anything.
"Then you swear, let me see your determination."
Jiang Chen put down the tea cup in his hand and said casually. The words of these people really gave him an idea.
Jiang Chen was still thinking about how to deal with them. After all, they were hundreds of innate Taoists, so killing them like that would be a bit wasteful. But it would be unjustifiable if they were not punished.
Well now, since they are willing to take the oath, the problem is much simpler. Let them become the sharp daggers of the human race in the fairy world and charge into battle here.
At the same time, some people cooperated with Jiang Chen's plan. Since he was pretending to surrender to the enemy, how could King Wu do it alone? Naturally, it would be better for the senior officials to pretend to surrender to the enemy together. Then at the critical moment, they would betray the enemy at the same time, giving the fairy world a heavy blow.
"Ah this!"
Everyone was completely dumbfounded now. They just talked casually and did not expect Jiang Chen to be serious.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but froze on the spot, not daring to say a word.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Chen suddenly asked in a stern tone.
As his voice fell, everyone shuddered and woke up. At this point, it was no longer up to them. They had to make this oath even if they didn't want to. Otherwise, it would mean that their previous words of loyalty were all nonsense.
.
The consequences would be too serious, even if you want to die.
Thinking of this, everyone did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly swore and swore: "The way of heaven is above, if we betray the human race, the fruit of our way will be broken, the true spirit will be integrated into the way of heaven, and we will never be able to escape forever."
The moment the words fell, everyone separated a ray of true spirit, which turned into an immortal mark and was branded between heaven and earth.
There is absolutely no possibility of violating this kind of Dao oath made with the true spirit. Otherwise, as the oath says, the true spirit will be swallowed up by the way of heaven.
The innate Taoist Lord is immortal, but when his true spirit is swallowed by the heavenly way, he does not die. He just completely loses himself and becomes a puppet, from which he can never be freed.
Moreover, generally no one would make such an oath. If you want proof from heaven, how can you not pay the price?
Every time you make such an oath, you will permanently lose part of your cultivation, so no one will make such an oath unless it is absolutely necessary.
If Jiang Chen had not forced him to show his loyalty to him this time, no one would have made such an oath to leave no way out for them.
Under such circumstances, if you think about leaving a way out for yourself, you are asking for death.
"Very good. I saw it right. You are all loyal ministers of the human race."
Seeing this, Jiang Chen's attitude softened and he gave them a rare smile.
These are all "loyal ministers" of the human race!
Hearing Jiang Chen praise himself and others as loyal ministers, everyone smiled happily, but at the same time they were smiling bitterly in their hearts.
Now, even if they don't want to become loyal ministers of the human race, that's not possible. Subject to the oath, they are definitely the most loyal people of the human race.
"Where is the Dharma Master? Where is he now? The Human King doesn't want to tell me the truth. You should tell me."
After dealing with everyone, Jiang Chen asked about the Dharma Master again. This was the second-largest figure in the human race in the immortal world, and no one could ignore him.
"The Dharma Master should be in the realm of True Immortal Heaven now."
Everyone did not dare to look at King Wu, so they lowered their heads and whispered the whereabouts of His Holiness.
"Sure enough, I already knew that he was unreliable. Before anything happened, he had already betrayed the human race."
"Find a way to bring him back. After all, he was the former leader of the human race. Anyone can rebel against the clan, but he cannot, otherwise the impact will be too bad."
The words were spoken to everyone, but Jiang Chen looked at King Wu. Of all the people present, only King Wu had the means to call the Dharma Master back.
King Wu naturally guessed what Jiang Chen was thinking, but he remained silent.
"Human King, Fa Zun was once the leader of the human race. If he rebelled against the clan, you should understand how great the impact would be without me having to say more."
"Now is the time. If you still have the human race in your heart, you should put the human race first instead of caring about personal affairs and protecting the Dharma."
Seeing King Wu's silence, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
The impact of Fa Zun's rebellion was no different from that of King Wu's rebellion, and was even more serious. Because although Fa Zun was not the human king, his power in the human race was no lower than that of the human king. He belonged to the human race.
The uncrowned king.
If such a person rebels against the clan, the consequences can be imagined.
"That's all, it's me who feels sorry for him after all."
King Wu sighed and began to use secret methods to contact the Dharma Master. In his heart, after all, the human race was more important.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. King Wu's attitude showed that his position had not wavered and was worthy of belief.
The reason why King Wu deceived His Holiness to come back was very simple. He simply said that he wanted to die and was ready to pass on the title of Human King to His Holiness.
Fa Zun and King Wu are brothers, and he can completely understand his thoughts, so he has no doubts. After receiving the message from King Wu, he hurriedly returned to the Human King Palace.
It was not that he was greedy for the position of human king, but he wanted to persuade King Wu not to do stupid things. And this was the reason why King Wu was confident in calling back the Dharma Master.
He knew that after hearing the news about his death wish, His Holiness would definitely return in a hurry to persuade him not to do stupid things. That’s why King Wu struggled. He was taking advantage of His Holiness’s concern for him to persuade him to die.
Although this move was worthy of the human race, King Wu's conscience was condemned. He was sorry for the Dharma, let alone the Dharma's concern. He was simply not a human being.
King Wu here is blaming himself, but Jiang Chen thinks he is a hero, a real hero!
