Chapter 319 - 319 Lian Sheng's True Heart
Chapter 319 - 319 Lian Sheng's True Heart
Inside Qianjiang Prefecture, chaos erupted due to the sudden attack by the Sima Family.
Originally, it was just the Sima Family retaliating against the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but the actual consequences of their actions turned out to be extremely severe.
With the deterrence of the Demon Cleansing Bureau lost, some unruly elements of the Martial World and criminals also took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, plunging the whole State Mansion into turmoil.
Lian Sheng was holding the head of a martial artist who had been causing chaos within the State Mansion, slightly frowning.
He had seen the massacre coming upon Han Zheng last time, but he had not anticipated it to be this massive.
At that moment, an elder from the Sima Family arrived,
One reason was that when he was by Han Zheng's side, there was always someone he could kill, and it was the kind of killing that carried no burden.
Another reason was that he could feel Han Zheng very much approved of his method of using killing to stop killings, and even Han Zheng himself did things in the same manner.
You have to understand that even within the Great Compassion Temple, other disciples all considered Lian Sheng a monster, thinking that he had defiled the Buddhist Law.
The most outstanding young disciple of the Great Compassion Temple was actually not welcomed within the sect, and was even discriminated against and loathed.
If it wasn't for his master, Zen Master Pu Du, protecting him, he might have already been purged by the Elders of the Great Compassion Temple in their effort to cleanse the temple and uphold the way.
Before leaving the Great Compassion Temple, his master had said to him, don't get entangled in the dilemma of killing or not killing; ask your innermost heart, are you killing people or saving them?
If your innermost heart says you're saving people, then your killing is also saving people.
If your innermost heart says you're killing people, then your saving people is also killing people.
After leaving the Great Compassion Temple, Lian Sheng had always acted according to his innermost heart. Although he had been killing all along the way, he believed that he had always been saving people.
Now, Lian Sheng's innermost heart was telling him that he should go save Han Zheng.
Then he would go save Han Zheng. There was no special reason, everything was simply following his innermost heart.
In front of the Qianjiang Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau government office.
When Sima Chengzong saw Han Zheng standing in front of the door with a knife, as if he was specifically waiting there for him, Sima Chengzong couldn't help but frown.
"You actually didn't run away?"
"Why should I run away?"
Han Zheng lightly shook his head, "I was still wondering, just who would dare to cause chaos in Qianjiang Prefecture at this time, and I never imagined it would be the Sima Family.
How does your Sima Family have the confidence to be so ruthless? Aren't you afraid that one day the Demon Cleansing Bureau will take revenge and exterminate your Sima Family clan?"
A long sword with a shining reddish glow appeared in Sima Chengzong's hand, its blade flashing with astonishing Sword Qi, which was clearly another Earth Soldier.
"It's not that my Sima Family is ruthless, but rather your Demon Cleansing Bureau has made things ruthless!"
Sima Chengzong said through gritted teeth, "What wrong has my Sima Family done? Just because we killed a mere constable, you wanted three members of our family who are at the Xuan Gang Realm to be buried with him!
My Sima Family may not be a top-notch sect like the Five Families and Seven Sects, but we're not lambs to be slaughtered at will!
Han Zheng, today Wan Zhongshan is not in Qianjiang Prefecture, and no one can save you!
Blood debts must be paid in blood!"
Han Zheng remained calm, "Even the 'mere' constable is someone born of parents, your Sima Family's members are not much nobler than him.
To kill for a life, to repay debts with money, that's the rule, and the constable represents the dignity of the Court.
You've broken the rules and challenged the Court's authority. If Sima Feng and the others don't die, then who should?"
Just then, Han Zheng seemed to recall something and let out a light "huh," "The Yinshan bandits, did you lure them here? It seems that Mr. Wan Zhongshan has fallen for your trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
And you seeking me out desperately is one thing, but the members of your Sima Family have gone to such extremes, this doesn't seem like the actions of people looking for mutual destruction.
Therefore, there must be a way out for you.
But what could that escape route be?
In the entire Southern Mountain, no power would dare to shelter a family like the Sima Family who has openly rebelled and attacked the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
The only one with the guts and the ability to back your Sima Family I can think of is the Black Mountain Demon!
Tsk, tsk, isn't it good to be a human? Why must you put yourself in a desperate situation and collude with demons?"
Seeing Han Zheng guessed the crux of the matter in just a few words, Sima Chengzong's gaze turned cold.
Not only was Han Zheng powerful, but his thoughts were also nimble, full of calculations; no wonder he had risen so quickly.
But now that the cat was out of the bag, it didn't matter anymore, for Sima Chengzong had already taken his actions to the extreme.
Although Gongyang Qu was outside the city holding off Wan Zhongshan, Sima Chengzong wasn't sure how long Gongyang Qu could hold off Wan Zhongshan for.
Therefore, he couldn't afford to waste time chatting with Han Zheng and needed to resolve the fight quickly!
"Kill!"
Sima Chengzong's Fiery Flame long sword swept through, instantly filling the sky with a red glow as a scorching Flam had enveloped the world!
