After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

Shen Ruoyan's tone was nonchalant.

In her opinion, if three immortal cultivators took action, they could break into even the capital city of Qi, let alone the prefectural city that was not strictly guarded. It would be easy to save people.

They are just afraid of being held accountable. As long as they act quietly and leave once the matter is over, no one will know that they did it.

"Miss Shen..."

Just as Monk Wanfu was about to explain, Chen Zun, who had been silent, spoke up.

"We need to save people, but we must not act rashly. Have you ever thought about it. Once we forcefully rescue them, it will attract the attention of the Qi Dynasty. We can just walk away, but what about them?"

"They were not released through normal channels. They were rescued by us. That is the crime of escape. When the Daqi Dynasty starts a thorough investigation, they will drag their families with them and no one can escape. By then, it will not be as simple as hard labor. Instead, he blatantly defied the authority of the imperial court, and the only outcome is death."

The Daqi Dynasty has been in existence for thousands of years and has a profound heritage. A secular country can be ranked alongside the seven immortal sects, which shows how terrifying it is.

In addition, Chen Zun came from a lower-class background and knew too well how weak an ordinary person was. It was impossible to fight against the behemoth of the country, which would only bring disaster to the poor people.

Therefore, Chen Zun disapproved of Shen Ruoyan's plan.

As soon as Shen Ruoyan heard this, she knew how powerful it was.

But she was unconvinced and became distressed: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Do we just have to watch them suffer like this?"

"There is only one way to go now, which is to redeem people with money." Chen Zun said slowly.

This is currently the safest and best way.

Of course, this is also a temporary solution. If you want to truly solve this problem, you must resolve it from the root cause. Only optimizing policies can solve it.

And this root is the ruler of the Daqi Dynasty—the Emperor of Daqi.

His gaze was cast to a distant place, his eyes as calm as water, because that was where the capital of the Qi Dynasty was located.

"good!"

Monk Wanfu could not help but nod and praise.

Chen Zun turned to look at Monk Wanfu and said calmly: "Monk Wanfu, after ransoming people, I want to leave as soon as possible and get to the capital of Daqi as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Monk Wanfu entered Kotu Temple and worshiped under the abbot Guangyuan. Naturally, he also had extremely high intelligence and extremely agile thinking.

After thinking about it for a while, an astonishing idea came to my mind. I vaguely guessed what Chen Zun was going to do. I couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Donor Chen, do you want to meet the saint?"

Chen Zun nodded.

"He who knows me is blessed."

Although he vaguely guessed it, Monk Wanfu was shocked when he heard Chen Zun admit it.

It is an iron law that the three major dynasties do not accept interference from immortal sect disciples. Once any immortal sect dares to interfere in secular politics, it will be criticized by other immortal sects, and the problem will be huge.

He didn't care about maintaining a calm attitude and said anxiously: "You will cause big trouble if you do this. If things get serious, not even Sect Master Xu can protect you."

Seeing that Monk Wanfu was worried about him, Chen Zun felt warm in his heart. He had thought about this for a long time, but he only dared to do it when he had a certain degree of confidence in his heart.

He said softly: "Master, don't worry about me. I just want to meet the Emperor of Qi and give you some suggestions. It's not a big problem."

Monk Wanfu still looked worried. He hesitated for a while and then said, "What if Emperor Da Qi doesn't accept your suggestion?"

This sentence made Chen Zun silent for a long time before he laughed: "If he doesn't accept it, then I can only use my own methods to make him accept it."

"Don't do this nonsense!"

"Someone has to stand up and do something to change this unfair world."

Facing Wanfu's dissuasion, Chen Zun shook his head with firm eyes.

"Have you ever heard the saying, great monk, that with great power comes great responsibility?"

"If I don't see these suffering people, that's fine. If I see them, I can't ignore them. Otherwise, my conscience will be uneasy. If I care about gains and losses in everything and worry too much, I will only tie myself up and accomplish nothing. On the contrary, Lost your true self.”

"The immortals I cultivate are of flesh and blood, with emotions and hatred. They only seek justice and equality. They are not indifferent people who sit aloof and indifferent. The path is unfair. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of them. I have to fight for it."

After he finished speaking, he walked ahead alone.

"My true self?!"

Monk Wanfu's eyes burst into a burst of golden light, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"What a word that awakens the dreamer!"

He suddenly realized that if all the methods in the world are restricted by rules and regulations, no matter how diligently he practices, he will be nothing more than a puppet without self-thought.

It's just like the disciples of Buddhism who stick to the old rules and only know how to meditate and knock on wooden fish. They have no true self. Even if they sit and break the Pupan, they will not be able to realize the golden body of Arhat and they will not become a Buddha.

Monk Wanfu's heart was clear and clear, his spiritual platform was empty, and his cultivation of elixir formation suddenly broke through, he achieved relics, and entered the Nascent Soul stage of strength.

He strode forward and laughed.

"Okay, the young monk will leave this hundred kilograms of meat behind, but he still wants to accompany Donor Chen on a journey."

Shen Ruoyan looked at Chen Zun's back with bright eyes.

At this moment, Chen Zun was extremely tall in her heart. Only this kind of upright man could be her perfect match for Shen Ruoyan.

……

Outside the mirror.

"Hiss! Master Wanfu turned the elixir into relics and entered the Buddhist realm of emptiness and darkness."

"Hey, the Demon Lord seems to have changed too, but it's just not obvious."

"However, what the Demon Lord said does make some sense. In order to practice and climb the realm, have we lost ourselves?"

"Even the sentence 'If he doesn't accept it, I will use my own methods to make him accept it' also makes me admire him the most."

Everyone outside the mirror looked at Chen Zun's resolute words and Monk Wanfu's changes in the mirror, and they suddenly started to comment.

As an immortal cultivator, who would care about the life and death of mortals, but Chen Zun does.

Not only does he take care of it, but he is also prepared to take advantage of it, and he also wants to plead for the lives of poor mortals.

With such determination and such a heart, could he do something like tea poisoning the creatures of Tianluo Continent in the future?

Since Shuiyuejing showed Chen Zun's memory, he has not done anything bad. Instead, he has been helping others and taking the world as his own responsibility.

They felt ashamed and asked themselves that whatever they thought the Demon Lord had done, they would definitely not be able to do it on themselves.

The mentality of many people watching the excitement has changed.

A group of stunning women looked at the back of the man who was moving forward, and memories of the past came to his mind. They were stunned for a moment, and their hearts were extremely complicated.

Han Youjin pursed her lips and said nothing.

These are the people of the Da Qi Dynasty, her people, and no one has thought about them, the lower class people.

However, Chen Zun, a proud man of heaven, came to take charge.

This made her feel ashamed, and the memory of when she first met Chen Zun came to her mind. What he talked about the most was how to be good to the people.

At the time, I thought he was nagging and meddling in other people's business, but now I see that his words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and had profound meaning.
