Chapter 503 – No Options
An Zheng opened the food box, but there was no food inside, only a letter and a pendant. The pendant looked likure gold key, it was very delicate and small. After reading the letter Dada Ye left behind, An Zheng felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. He knew that this was what Dada Ye felt, and it was even heavier than him.
An Zheng stood up, and bowed towards the direction that Da Da Ye left in.
“I will come back. I will return your locket to you, and you will definitely have someone suitable for you in the future.”
An Zheng grabbed the locket and rushed out. The locket and all the barrier bubbles were of the same element, so An Zheng was able to pass through it easily. He dashed out of the city, unleashing his speed to the maximum.
Misty City
Daxi Changge had only left for a short period of time, so he didn’t know why a legend had started to spread in the city. Furthermore, this legend spread throughout the entire Floating Mist City at an extremely fast speed, and everyone was aware of it. When he returned to Floating Mist City, it was already packed outside the City Lord’s Mansion. Many people gathered here and shouted for him to come out and give an explanation.
Explain?
Daxi Changge suddenly felt very sad.
“City Lord!”
His most trusted subordinate, Lido said anxiously, “I don’t know who spread the rumours outside that those Six-Winged Skeleton were created by you. Right now, the news of the whole Floating Mist City is spread, and the scariest thing is that those stupid people actually believed it! ”
Daxi Changge sat down on the chair somewhat dejectedly: “Have you found that monk?”
Laido shook his head. “No, I don’t know where!” It’s all because of those people from the Central Plains. If it wasn’t for them, the situation wouldn’t have ended up like this. ”
Daxi Changge sighed: “This is heaven’s will...”
He got up. “I am going out to face my people. These things must be made clear.”
Laito said, “Those people were only egged on. Don’t be too angry, my lord. In my opinion, the culprits are the little monk and the few cultivators from the Central Plains. If we find them and kill them all, there will be no future troubles. ”
Just as Daxi Changge wanted to say something, the people outside suddenly shouted loudly. Furthermore, many people began to charge into the City Lord’s Mansion. The guards were ordered not to attack the commoners, and even the gates were slammed open. People rushed in likidal wave and soon filled the entire City Lord’s Mansion. When Daxi Changge walked out of the room, there were already many people gathered outside. All of them looked to be filled with righteousness as they glared furiously at Daxi Changge.
“You liar!”
“You are not only a liar, you are also a devil! We have loved and supported you so much all these years, but what about you?! Is our life just a means for you to vent your anger?! ”
“Why do you have to raise so many Six-Winged Skeleton!”
Daxi Changge: “Those Six-Winged Skeleton have nothing to do with me, could it be that you can so easily believe in other people’s provocation? What I have done in the past few years in the Misty City could not be compared to what others have said? If I really wanted to do that, why wait till now? ”
“Stop lying! We already know! Because you are unable to become the successor of the Peacock Palace, you bear a grudge in your heart! It seems like the choice that Duke Ming made was right. If we were to pass on the position of Duke Ming to someone like you, who has ill intentions, sooner or later, we would meet with calamity. Someone like you is not qualified to be the City Lord of Floating Mist City! ”
“Kill him!”
Someone shouted, but no one moved. The person who shouted for him to be killed looked at him with a silly look, and that person knew that his shout was wrong … Daxi Changge’s strength was clear to all, how could a motley crowd like them kill him.
“Tell him to scram!”
The man immediately changed his words.
“Tell him to scram!”
The cheers from the crowd were getting louder and louder.
“You are not fit to be the city lord of Floating Mist City. Your heart is black! You are not worthy of being the disciple of Duke Ming, you are not fit to be a member of Tsukiko! Get out of Floating Cloud City, get out of Tsukiko! If you still want some shame, kill yourself! ”
“Suicide!”
“Suicide! Suicide! Suicide! Suicide! “Suicide!”
The wild shouts swept through the area likidal wave.
Daxi Changge asked witale face, “Just who did you hear it from, for them to be so stubborn? I have already brought the Peacock City to meet His Majesty and also invited the high monk of great virtue from the Peacock Palace to come. Very soon, we will find out the truth! ”
“We don’t believe you!”
Suddenly, a path opened up in the crowd and a thin and small person walked in. He was wearing a clean and new monastic robe, and he looked a lot cleaner and more refreshing. He held a bowl in his left hand and a string of buddhist beads in his right. His clothes were new, his shoes were new, his socks were new, from head to toe. But he was an ascetic, why should he change his clothes?
Wu You’s face was still very white, so white that it was outrageous. His eyes were red and bloodshot.
“I told them, I told them. They may not believe others, but they will believe me. Do you know why? Because what I did made them feel believable. I burned my life to save them, twice. So why should they doubt what I said? Everyone knew that I didn’t have to lie. Firstly, I saved them with my life. Second, I am an ascetic. ”
When Wu You spoke, his expression was very calm, and his eyes were also very calm.
He raised his hand to his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of blood.
“Do you feel helpless and angry? Furthermore … Unable to vent? ”
Daxi Changge looked at Wu Zai, and looked at him viciously.
Wu You also looked at him, his expression as calm as ever. “Yes, that’s the way it is, that’s the way it is. Many years ago, when I saw my master die and my martial uncles and senior brothers die, the person who killed them was still sitting on the high throne, enjoying the worship of everyone. I should be looking at you with the same eyes as you right now. “No, it should be even deeper than you.”
He looked straight into Daxi Changge’s eyes: “You know what I’m talking about, right?”
Daxi Changge shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Wu You smiled, but his smile was filled with sorrow: “Then let me tell you … My master has buddhist eyes and can see through the sins of others. He can see how many crimes there are in a person with a single glance. The ghosts were floating behind those who had committed crimes. Those who have committed crimes do not know about this. These ghosts have been following them around day and night just to find an opportunity to kill him for revenge. ”
“My master, on the other hand, is a man who has always believed that suffering on his own can save more people from disaster. One day, he attended a buddhist event in Peacock Palace. He inadvertently glanced at your great master, the previous generation’s Peacock King. “He saw his crime career, and in order to obtain the position of the Peacock King, he killed several of his fellow disciples.”
“My master was terrified and left Peacock City overnight. He knew that he would definitely find trouble. After racking his brains for an entire night, he felt that only with his death could he save his junior brothers and disciples. That’s why he decided to commit suicide. Before he died, he wanted me to deliver a letter to Peacock Palace and hand it to Duke Ming. But... “I was stupid. At that time, I was nine years old and I didn’t know how serious the situation was. Halfway through, I wanted to play and lost the letter.”
“I know that I’ve caused trouble, but I don’t dare to admit it. I wandered around outside for a few days before daring to return to the temple. But by the time I got back, they were all dead. Not a single person remained. ”
He looked into Daxi Changge’s eyes: “Now you know what happened right? I want to tell someone who killed my master and everyone else. But would anyone believe me? One was a young monk spouting nonsense, the other was the highly respected Duke Ming. Do you know why no one would pursue the matter of a temple being exterminated here? Because Duke Ming said that my master had been possessed by a demon and had killed all of her disciples and junior brothers. He pushed the blame to my master, and everyone believed him. ”
Wu You raised his hand and pointed at Daxi Changge: “Just like now, it was clearly I who summoned the Six-Winged Skeleton to kill so many ordinary people, but because I saved them twice, they are all willing to believe what I said, and not believe your excuses.”
After saying that, everyone was stunned.
“Burn him to death!”
It was unknown who shouted first, but it immediately resonated with everyone. The shouts of burning him rose and fell, even louder than the previous waves.
But there was no change in his expression, no anger in his eyes.
He slowly untied his clothes, revealing his chest.
There was a shocking wound on his chest. The wound was not closed, so it was possible to see that he was only left with half a heart.
“I should have died a long time ago, but my sect only had me left. How could I die? Master, I am the only one who can avenge them... I lost the letter, I deserve to die, but I can’t die yet, I have to be punished. I have the Psychic’s Heart, which can be split into two halves. Half of it belongs to the spirit realm, while the other half belongs to the human realm. I made a mistake in the human world, so I cut off my own half of the heart. I kept this half of Psychic Soul just so that I could live on and seek justice for my master and the others. I have cultivated for ten years, and can finally use my spirit to summon demons. ”
He smiled bitterly. “Sad? I am only a Buddhist disciple, but I can summon demons. ”
He put on his clothes. “Master said that the ascetic monk exists to reduce the disaster of the world. Suffering with our bodies to free the world. I don’t know why it’s us, why we have to suffer. But I will do whatever Master says. I have trained hard for ten years and have never violated Master’s teachings. Even though I am already determined to die, I still follow the path of cultivation. But I’m wearing a new dress today... This new dress is for myself. ”
“I really, really... I wanted to wear a beautiful new dress a long time ago. ”
He smiled, but this time, it was a smile of relief.
“I know that I can’t kill Duke Ming, and I don’t want to kill him either. He treasured his reputation so much that it was more cruel to let the world know what sort of person he was than to kill him. This is what revenge is all about. Master said that when cultivating, one should put down their grudges … Sorry, old man, I … He couldn’t let it go. I think Master will definitely blame me, even if I have already done what I have done so that the world will know what Duke Ming has done. ”
His body slowly floated in the air, emitting a golden light.
“I know that I have sinned unforgivably, that I have killed so many innocent people in order to achieve my goals, and that after my death I will go to hell. I regret it, but I will do it anyway. Because this was the only way to uncover the name of Duke Ming. “After I die, my fleshly body will be trampled by you as you wish.”
He sat cross-legged in the air, solemnly placing the alms bowl and buddhist beads on his lap, his hands clasped together.
“Master …” This disciple should not be able to see you two. You are in heaven, and I am going to hell. So, please forgive this disciple for wearing a new set of clothes today. ”
He closed his eyes, and suddenly his heart exploded. The remaining half of his heart immediately turned into a mist of blood. Then, his body fell straight down from the middle of the heart.
The crowd scattered in all directions, fearing that they would be drenched in blood.
An Zheng flashed over from afar and hugged Wu Se.
No choice, no choice … Isn’t it that there is no other choice?
Wu You narrowed his eyes as he looked at An Zheng, smiling while bleeding, “Thank you, but I am very regretful … You can’t save mhird time. ”
