Chapter 1959 The crisis of Penglai
In the boundless demonic energy, the green bird walked very slowly.
It is difficult to resist the demonic energy, guard against crazy demon slaves, and find someone whose mind has not been taken away by the demon soul.
As we were walking, a breeze blew, cleaning up the surrounding demonic energy.
"Shu."
Qingque was very excited, "You are back."
Zhou Shu fell beside her and nodded slightly.
Qingque whispered, "The city lord said, try to save people as much as possible."
Zhou Shu said in a warm voice, "I know, together."
With Zhou Shu's joining, all problems are no longer problems. Soon, the remaining monks and sea tribes on Penglai Island were gathered together by Zhou Shu. There were about 70 or 80, all of them looked embarrassed.
Most of them came to Penglai Island these days. They didn’t have time to be turned into a demon slave, but were attacked by the demon slave and entangled by the demonic energy, so they could not leave the island.
Zhou Shu took out the magic crystal and rescued them one by one. In just a few hundred breaths, he drove away all the demon blood and demonic aura on everyone's body.
"Thank you, Sect Master Zhou, for your help, and your great kindness will never be forgotten!"
"It's still the interests of Sect Master Zhou. I can still come and go here freely and save everyone. I admire you!"
"I thought I was going to die. These demons were so terrible."
Everyone saluted and thanked them.
Zhou Shu nodded and said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone can go there."
"Damn Penglai Island, I will never come again!"
"That's right, I thought I wouldn't be afraid of aliens if I hide here. I didn't know if I was still captured by the demons. That island master is useless! Otherwise, he didn't want to help us at all, it would be hateful!"
"It's better to go back to the sect, alas."
"I finally came here once, but encountered such a thing. What the hell is it? Penglai Island is not worth it."
After the disaster, the words will become unclear.
Qingque looked straight and his eyebrows were raised, "What are you talking nonsense? If Penglai Island hadn't saved you, wouldn't you die like those demon slaves? Now, I'm still going to blame Penglai Island if I save my life. I'm so handsome."
A monk shouted, "That's why you didn't protect us!"
A monk shouted with confidence, "That's right, if we collect our spirit stones, we should protect us!"
Qingque sneered, "You can be safe if you give a few broken spirit stones. How can you do this in the world? The spirit stones are the price for you to practice and participate in the sea meeting. It is not to save your lives. What's more, the life and death of the immortal cultivators are all on themselves. If you rely on others to protect them, you will flee to Penglai Island to take refuge. Regardless of your own sect and do not protect the Xuanhuang Realm, are you worthy of being an immortal cultivator?"
"this……"
The monks were speechless for a moment, "It's not you who saved us, it's Master Zhou."
Zhou Shu looked calm and said in a deep voice, "I am also the guardian of Penglai Island. I will definitely give you an explanation in the future when it comes to Penglai Island. Don't say more, let's go."
Everyone was stunned. Zhou Shu was the guardian of Penglai Island, but not many people knew about it.
A monk politely said, "It's still the Master Zhou's words sound good, I'll go."
"You must have an explanation, at least you must return the spirit stone to us."
"Yes, yes, I am the sect leader of Baishan Sect. Sect leader Zhou must remember to return it. Our small sect does not have many spirit stones, they are all collected by the disciples. I hope I can escape this disaster and protect Baishan Sect..."
Amid the noise, everyone went there hurriedly.
In the demonic energy, Zhou Shu had already opened a path, and they went without any obstacles.
"I shouldn't have saved them."
Qingque was still angry, "What's the matter! He still looks like he saved his life, as if we owe them."
Zhou Shu looked calm, "Most cultivators do this, forget it."
"Now, let's forget it, just these mouths, I don't know what they will say."
Qingque shook his head and looked at Zhou Shu, showing concern, "Actually, you shouldn't say that you are the guardian of the Dharma. When they go out, they will definitely arrange you and affect your reputation. Now you are the new human emperor in the world of immortal cultivation, if..."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "I am really the guardian of Penglai Island, don't you recognize it? Even if the Human Emperor has received less slander back then, it will take a moment to do it."
Qingque was right. Just these people's petty hearts will definitely tell you about the attack on Penglai Island by the demons, and will definitely tell you how inaction and everything is unbearable. He is an innocent victim, but he is only affected by Penglai Island. Zhou Shu has seen a lot of such things.
But what can we do? Should we let these people die?
That goes against your true intentions.
This is the world, it is enough to slander others, and it is enough to be yourself.
The Human Emperor back then gave everything for the Xuanhuang Realm. Finally left, leaving his magical artifact to protect the Xuanhuang Realm. But what was the result he got? With just one conspiracy, someone tampered with the sword, Xuanyuan Human Emperor became the biggest sinner of the Xuanhuang Realm. Xuanhuang Realm is so big, but only Aolai Country is to worship the Human Emperor. Others all looked disdainful when they mentioned the Human Emperor.
In his position, he must bear these things. Slander and praise are always more of the former. Zhou Shu saw it very thoroughly and didn't care much.
Keep being yourself.
The ground suddenly sank and the two of them fell.
The city lord looked at Zhou Shu with a slightly bitter face, "Zhou Shu, this is my fault, you shouldn't be responsible."
Zhou Shu smiled faintly and handed over the magic crystal, "City Lord, you can clear the demon blood and demon energy first."
The city lord took the magic crystal, but did not move, and slowly said, "I have thought about it. After the demonic energy is cleared, I will close Penglai Island and no one will be accepted."
Qingque's expression stagnated, "Ah?"
The city lord nodded seriously, "Penglai Island has Wushuang City, and the mission is almost over. I have to concentrate on preparing the Tongtian Tower. After the Tongtian Tower is completed, I will no longer occupy Penglai Island, and I will leave sooner or later."
Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "It's time."
Once the Tongtian Tower is completed, the city lord will leave the Xuanhuang Realm, Wushuang City will naturally disappear, and Penglai Island will also have a new master.
Qingque felt it, and he could only nod and a lot of reluctance surged in his heart.
Although I know that this day will come sooner or later, it is still not easy to come so quickly.
The city lord sighed and smiled bitterly, "It would be great to make this decision earlier, just to get more resources. Who would have thought of such a thing? He is going to leave but end up with this result, haha."
Qingque comforted, "Since we are leaving, why bother thinking about so many people, those people can't make trouble."
"Can't you make a storm?"
The city lord shook his head, "Even if those people don't contribute to the fire, Penglai Island was attacked by the demons and tens of thousands of monks died will cause a stir in the Xuanhuang Realm. You can see that at that time. I don't know how many people will come to question me. I will also consider this regard."
Qingque said coldly, "With us here, no one is afraid of coming."
The city lord shook his head slightly but did not speak. Qingque was still naive. This could not be changed by force.
Chapter completed!
