The Continent Is Boiling
Not long after Tang Jin and Xiao Yu left, many people began to gather around the collapsed Red Stone Mountain, just as Tang Jin had expected.
At first, these people only stuck their heads out from a place far away from where Zhang Ming and the others were fighting. When they saw that there was no one around, and that the scene was completely silent, they dared to approach bit by bit.
"Wow, the entire mountain has collapsed! Just how intense was this battle! At the very least, they should be Loose Immortals, right? "
"What loose immortal? He's a celestial immortal! A Celestial Immortal who was even more powerful than a Loose Immortal! Just now, Tang Jin's men fought with the Wu people here, and that's why this area became like this. "
"What? Tang Jin's men and Wu people's men? Didn't the four Great Samaritans attack Tang Jin together? How did you become Wu people? "
"Sigh, it's a long story. The most abominable one is that Sensible, the merciful and compassionate novice monk who is known as one of the Four Great Samaritans. I really didn't expect him to be such a hypocrite! Listen to me slowly … "
"…"
At the place where Zhang Ming and the others fought, the collapsed Red Stone Mountain that had become a small hill was crowded with people, and more and more people were gathering. They began to listen to those who were present and knew what had happened tell them about the thrilling battle between Tang Jin and the others.
When had the person who was surrounded by the crowd ever been in the limelight like this? They described the battle between Tang Jin and the others as if it was a battle to save the world. However, Tang Jin was the savior, while Sensible, who had always been on the side of justice in their hearts, became the devil. Coupled with the collapsed earth and the void that had yet to heal, everyone trembled in fear.
That person spoke in detail as if he had been watching from the side from the beginning to the end. In fact, he did not know much. He only had a rough understanding of the situation. After all, it was a matter of life and death. Who would have the time to think so much? Many things were created by his own imagination.
"I didn't expect this! Sensible Mage … Ugh! That little bald donkey was actually so vicious? A hypocrite! To think that I always praise him to others! "
"Yeah, I really didn't expect this! And he was one of the Four Great Benefactors of the continent? Is he even worthy? "
"Well done, Lord King Of Heaven! You colluded with the Wu people and those barbarians to deal with us humans. You deserve to die! Fortunately, he's dead this time. Otherwise, I would have killed him the moment I saw him! "
"Forget it. You? Didn't you hear what this big brother said? Sensible was also quite powerful. After taking a direct hit from King Of Heaven, he didn't die on the spot and was only seriously injured. What if you met him? Who knows who will kill who? "
"…"
After listening to that person's story, the crowd began to discuss again. The Four Great Benefactors, who originally had quite a high status on the continent, were also considered worthless. Whether Sensible used underhanded tactics to deal with Tang Jin, or whether he was a hypocrite, no one cared. What everyone cared about was that Sensible actually colluded with the Wu people to deal with the human race?
Moreover, he was dealing with the King Of Heaven who had once killed his way into the heart of the Wu people and massacred more than a billion Wu people? That was a national hero!
Now that things had developed to this point, it was no longer an internal dispute, but a matter of race. Immediately, Sensible was pushed to the forefront of the storm. Everyone was pointing fingers at him, and tens of thousands of people were cursing him. This caused the status of the Four Great Benefactors to plummet.
In just one day, the news of Sensible colluding with the Wu people to deal with Tang Jin, and then being killed by Tang Jin along with the Wu people, spread throughout the Sect Domain, and quickly spread to the continent.
For a time, a huge wave of discussion was set off on the continent. There were those who supported Sensible, those who cursed, those who despised him, and those who praised him. In short, no one sighed for Sensible's death.
Because of Sensible, the people of the continent began to question the character of the other three Great Benefactors. No, it should be said that there were two of them. Feng Ming had died, and only the Benevolent Big Moneybags Xiao Boyan and the Righteous Guang Lingzi were left.
What everyone suspected was that if Sensible's character was so bad, and he had been able to deceive them for so long, then what about the other three? Had they also been deceiving them all this time? They had worked together with Sensible to deal with Tang Jin. Had all four of them colluded with the Wu people?
The morals and beliefs of the people of the continent were greatly attacked and questioned. At this point, the people of the continent no longer mentioned the Four Great Benefactors. The once glorious image of the Four Great Benefactors fell to the bottom of the valley, and they became the targets of disdain.
It wasn't that the people of the continent couldn't accept that someone had betrayed them, but they couldn't accept that the betrayers were the Four Great Benefactors that they had pushed to the peak of morality. Moreover, they were dealing with the national hero of the Wu people, the King Of Heaven.
Three days had passed since the battle between Tang Jin and the others. In the Sect Domain, a hundred li north of the original Hong Yan Mountain, in a small courtyard in a small town.
At this time, it was almost noon. Tang Jin was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard, drinking tea and narrowing his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
The sunlight shone through the leaves and onto Tang Jin's body, making Tang Jin's body appear golden.
Creak — —
Suddenly, the door to the courtyard was pushed open, and Chu Lian ran in from outside. She ran to Tang Jin's side, and her bell-like laughter broke the silence. She happily said to Tang Jin, "Big brother Tang, big brother Tang! Right now, the streets are cursing that Sensible. They all say that big brother Tang is a hero, and that Sensible killed him well. "
After she finished speaking, she saw that Tang Jin only slowly opened his eyes, and his lips curved into a faint smile. Chu Lian couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong, big brother Tang, are you not happy? Everyone's praising you! "
"There's nothing to be happy about." Tang Jin took a sip of tea and sighed, "Lian 'er, look, at the beginning, didn't they praise Sensible and say that they were heroes? How high did they praise Sensible and the others? They said that I was a disaster, and they were heroes? Ah, now I'm a hero, but what about them? The higher they fly, the harder they are thrown. When I defeated the Wu people and won, didn't they also praise me to the heavens? But a while ago? Ah, these things are just like that, there's nothing to be happy about. This time, they praised me so much, but who knows if they'll start cursing me again next time. This group of people is just like that, changing their rudder with the wind, and only know how to fool around every day. They're the ones who think they've grasped the truth, but they're also the ones who've been deceived the most. Their words go in one ear and out the other, it's not worth being happy about. "
The more experience one has, the more one understands. Some people aren't indifferent, they just see things more clearly.
"Oh," Chu Lian nodded as if she understood. She didn't dwell on this issue, but pointed to the room and said to Tang Jin, "Then big brother Tang, I'll go in and see big brother Zhang Ming and big brother Chu Jun."
"En, okay."
Chu Lian pushed open the door to the room next door and walked in. There were three large beds in the room, with Zhang Ming, Zhang An, and Chu Jun. They were wrapped up like mummies.
"Three big brothers, how do you feel?" Chu Lian walked up to the three and examined them one by one, then asked with concern.
"Very good …" Zhang Ming said listlessly, "Miss Chu Lian, we're really fine, there's no need to tie us up like this. After receiving Kirin's blessing and eating young master Tang's pills, we're pretty much healed. Normally, we've suffered injuries several times worse than this, there's no need to tie us up like this. "
These people were already considered top experts in the Immortal Fighter Continent, and any one of them could easily sweep through the entire continent. But now, they were tied up like dumplings, unable to move, and being cared for by a qi refining stage cultivator like Chu Lian. It's no wonder they were uncomfortable.
"No, otherwise, what will happen if the wounds deteriorate and rot?" Chu Lian shook her head very seriously, ignoring Zhang Ming's dissatisfaction. Then, she comforted them, "I know you're all experts and have strong recovery abilities. Two more days, two more days, I'll see if your wounds are healed, then I'll help you take off the bandages. Most importantly, big brother Chu Jun, your injuries are the most serious, your body is deformed, you must not move, otherwise, your bones will be dislocated, that's bad. "
After saying that, Chu Lian crushed the healing pills given by Tang Jin, then dissolved them into water and fed them little by little.
"What about me? I don't need to be like this, right? " Hearing this, Zhang An, who was lying in the middle of the group, quickly said, "My injuries were originally light, but now it's healed, I don't need to be like this, right?"
"No, you see big brother Zhang Ming and big brother Chu Jun are tied up like this, if I let you go, it's not fair. Big brother Zhang An, you can rest at ease. There's no harm in resting more … "
Outside the courtyard, not long after Chu Lian entered the room, Lo Cheng pushed open the door from outside and came in with the four old men of Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang.
Lo Cheng didn't stand on ceremony with Tang Jin when he entered the courtyard. He directly pulled over another rocking chair in the courtyard and sat next to Tang Jin. Then, he picked up the teapot next to Tang Jin and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it, he smacked his lips and said to Tang Jin, "I say, Tang Jin, you people of the Tang Dynasty still don't believe it? Now, the rumors are getting more and more exaggerated in the continent. Guess what I heard when I went out just now? They said that the Wu people invited experts from the Immortal World and wanted to occupy the Immortal Fighter Continent. It was you who helped the experts of the Tang Dynasty beat back the experts of the Wu people at the critical moment. Now, you've become the embodiment of justice and the messenger of salvation in our human territory. Tsk tsk. You say, they're really good at making up stories. It's as if they were there at the time. They probably know more details than you. "
"It's just rumors. Why are you taking them seriously? I went against the Wu people for my own sake. I also killed the Wu people for my own sake. I've never thought of doing anything for the human race. " Tang Jin chuckled, narrowed his eyes and said, "I, Tang Jin, am just myself. I don't live for them, and I won't die for them. They can say whatever they want."
After pausing for a moment, Tang Jin opened his eyes and continued, "However, the Celestial Court also contacted Zhang Ming yesterday. The Wu people used some unknown method to deceive the Celestial Court and sent three Immortal experts to kill me. The Celestial Court also seemed to be anxious and increased the pressure on the Wu people. I heard that they're going to mobilize their troops. Now, it's not just about me and the Wu people, it's about the dignity of the Celestial Court. The Wu people dared to disobey the orders of the Celestial Court. As the ruler of the Immortal World, how can the Celestial Court not be angry? Hehe, I'm afraid the Wu people will have to go back soon. "
"That's good."
