Chapter 391 A Fish Divided for Two Without a Wise Ruler

Upon hearing Xue Baizhi's question, Yu Chen remained silent for a moment.

He spoke after a long pause.

"I don't know if Fairy Xue or Yuyang Mountain asked me that question."

"The Alliance Leader is a righteous gentleman. How could his answer be different from that of Xue Baizhi and Yuyang Mountain?"

Xue Baizhi looked at Yu Chen and asked.

"If Fairy Xue were to ask me, I could naturally vent my frustrations. But if it were Yuyang Mountain, the foremost mystical sect in the Central Plains, asking me, then I would have nothing to say at this moment."

Yu Chen shook his head as he spoke.

Xue Baizhi has not yet guessed the White Deer Cave behind her, but that does not mean she can keep it a secret from Yuyang Mountain.

White Deer Cave's plans for the Central Plains not only need to give Xuandu Palace a plausible explanation, but also to give an explanation to Yuyang Mountain, Ghost Ancestor Palace, and other sects in the Central Plains.

Otherwise, it will inevitably bring about a huge backlash sooner or later. The success or failure of the plan is secondary; if we make a mistake, the disaster of annihilation of our entire family may be imminent.

Therefore, Yu Chen cannot reveal the answer that Yu Yangshan wants; the answer must be given by someone with a more important identity.

For example, the headmaster of Bailudong Academy, and the sages who led the Confucian school.

Xue Baizhi looked down at the valley below the mountain, which had now become a scene of carnage.

Li Yizhen fled, and the army's morale completely collapsed. The generals at all levels could no longer control their soldiers, and the entire army immediately collapsed. The White Turban Army surrounded them from all sides and began a massacre.

Among these White Turban Army soldiers, Xue Baizhi keenly spotted some demons who moved with measured steps and skillful coordination.

That's right, these guys with hair and horns didn't even bother to disguise themselves. They just grabbed their weapons, wore white headscarves, and mingled into the ranks, slaughtering everyone.

The White Turban Army soldiers around them seemed unfazed, as if they were already used to these monsters.

"The Alliance Leader has indeed collected quite a few remnants from Xuan Mountain."

Xue Baizhi turned to look at Yu Chen, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

Slaying demons and eliminating evil is a precept followed not only by Yuyang Mountain but also by all the Xuanmen sects in the world. However, it seems that the Great River Alliance has its own ideas about this.

This alone is enough to make all the mystical sects in the world keep their distance from them.

"As the sage said, 'In education, there should be no discrimination.' Doesn't Buddhism also preach equality for all beings?"

Upon hearing this, Siksananda clasped his hands together without saying a word.

Indeed, Buddhism teaches that all beings are equal and that human life is the most precious thing.

The so-called equality of all beings is nothing more than empty words used by the demon race when they were powerful in ancient times. Among the great Buddhist masters, from the Buddhas down to the ancient Buddhas who have achieved the second rank of cultivation, how many of them were born into the demon race?
Yu Chen seemed to know that recruiting demons was a dishonest tactic, but he still added a sentence in the end.

"Moreover, these guys are merely cannon fodder for the king." The leader of the Great River Alliance also pointed out the cannon fodder status of these demons: "Moreover, when the Great Liang Dynasty was founded, didn't it also have so-called evil armies and demon generals? What were the current Jingye Division originally made of? Doesn't Fairy Xue know?"

Upon hearing this, Su Che found the Jade Emperor Alliance Leader to be quite interesting.

The process by which the founding emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty rose to power was indeed not glorious. Not to mention the common practice of plotting to usurp the throne, there were quite a few demons and monsters under his command.

So Yu Chen is right, the Liang dynasty's situation is indeed not clean. Since the Liang dynasty's situation is not clean, what right do you have to criticize me?
When faced with moral accusations, I don't need to prove how right I am; I only need to prove that others have done the same thing to lessen my own responsibility.

If they weren't on opposing sides, Young Master Su felt he might have been able to share a drink and have a good time with the leader of the Jade Emperor Alliance.

"Since we can't see eye to eye, then I'll take my leave."

Xue Baizhi, confident in her status as a member of the orthodox Xuanmen sect, naturally wouldn't collude with the Great River Alliance. Moreover, she had the crucial task of finding Zuo Lengchan on her shoulders. She had originally intended to use the Great River Alliance's channels to help locate this notorious thief, but the Great River Alliance's current conduct made Xue Baizhi unwilling to associate with them. "Please proceed, Fairy Xue. However, the Great River Alliance's respect for Yuyang Mountain and for Fairy Xue will not change. As for the mysteries and secrets of Zuo Lengchan, our alliance will diligently search for them."

Yu Chen gave him an attitude that said, "You're free to come and go as you please."

Xue Baizhi glanced at Su Che beside her, then immediately summoned her sword and flew straight into the sky, leaving without a trace.

Zuo Lengchan?
Watching Xue Baizhi's departing sword shadow, Xiao Su realized that this person had been looking for him all along. He had only used this name once before when he went to the forbidden area of ​​Yuyang Mountain with the Yin-Yang Dharma King. It seemed that Yuyang Mountain had taken notice of him.

It seems there's still room for maneuver. Perhaps I, Zuo Lengchan, could find a seat at Bailudong?
"Where is Mr. Liu? Would he be willing to help us change the world?"

Changing the world? I think you're just changing the dynasty.

Su Che himself wished he could follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Yuwen Rui and completely dismantle this damned Liang Dynasty. However, he was not so enlightened as to let Bailudong reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Since you've run into me, I guarantee I'll teach you how to make all of Yu's family fortune belong to the Su family.

"I, Liu, have wandered for half my life, and it is regrettable that I have never met a wise ruler."

Su Che sighed, "It's a pity that all my cultivation has been wasted in the fleeting years. I've only done small things like robbing the rich to help the poor and acting on behalf of heaven. To encounter this today..."

For a moment I couldn't remember what the leader of this rebellion was called. Was it Li Xu, or something like that...?

"Li Hong".

As the consort of the king, Siksananda naturally had to give her some pointers.

"To meet True Lord Li Hong today is truly a fortunate event in my life. I am but a humble servant and am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty."

Yu Chen nodded at Liu Yidao.

Although this fellow has no reputation in the martial arts world, he unexpectedly became the lover of Shicha Nanda, and the Jade Alliance Leader was willing to give him a helping hand.

Xue Baizhi's attitude has just been seen. It's good enough that the Xuanmen doesn't cause trouble. Therefore, we should rely more on the power of the Buddhist sect.

The hungry ghost realm is unreliable, as it is imprisoned by the Xuandu Palace. However, a few Buddhist disciples and Arhats from the Great Lingjiu Temple, Great Wheel Vajra Temple, and Cixin Nunnery in the Western Land can be of some help.

"It's just right. Our army has just won a victory and is about to take Wenning County. If Brother Liu can make meritorious contributions, I will explain to the Holy Lord that you will definitely be given a command of an army and become a founding hero in the future."

"Oh dear, thank you for your appreciation, Alliance Leader."

Young Master Su Che looked extremely grateful: "I still have a few subordinates, who are all loyal and useful brothers. If they can be brought into the army, they will be a great help. I am willing to ask the leader for leave. After I have gathered my brothers and men, I will go to the front line of the army in Wenning County to serve."

Yu Chen naturally agreed. He didn't mind having one more or one less martial arts figure like Liu Yidao. He immediately agreed and even took out a golden waist token of the Great River Alliance from his sleeve, explaining that with this token, he would have the help of people from the Great River Alliance along the way.

"Today's battle will turn this Cizhou upside down."

With the battle situation settled, Yu Chen naturally went to reward his subordinates. His Elder Huan Dan, Leng Ancheng, had been poisoned by a strange poison, and there was also the powerful demon Du Shanjun, who had just submitted to him.

Shikshananda then clearly told Su Che that there was a karmic fire restriction on his wrist. If he did not enjoy the pleasures of this newly promoted Mingfei, he would be burned to ashes by the karmic fire. Therefore, he could go to gather people, but he had to hurry back to Wenning County.

"To go further, one must participate in the practice seven times a day."

Mingfei looked at Su Che and said, "These are all things that require painstaking effort and cannot be neglected even for a day. If you are truly committed to the Great Dao, then come to Wenning County as soon as possible."

It turns out it's a physically demanding job.

Su Che bid farewell to his beloved concubine and immediately set off to find the Yin-Yang Dharma King and the others at the place where they had parted ways.
