Arriving at Battle Through the Heavens a century ahead of schedule

Chapter 263 Same situation, different choices
In the Lord's Mansion of Qingyang City, Ouyang Feng's heart lifted when he heard the fish demon mention offering sacrifices. The scene once appeared in his eyes. After struggling for a while, he flatly refused.

The batfish seemed not to notice his gloomy face, so he pulled up a chair and sat down, and continued:
"Add % spiritual power and double the number of people. They are just mortals. Why do you care so much about them? Could it be that I am talking to you with nice words and kind words, making you forget your own weight? Do you think I really Don’t I dare to kill you?”

Even though it came according to the meaning of that scary guy, when it said this, it trembled in its heart. If it had been before, it would naturally have no pressure to say it, but now, he really has no confidence and is afraid of being around him. The two of them gave him a slap in the face if they were unhappy, and they didn't know whether they would live or die.

However, even in the face of its Dou Zun-level coercion, Ouyang Feng was crushed to the ground and unable to move, but he still did not give in. He just said coldly:
"The head of a palace dies inexplicably. Dianzhou and even Yanjing must be shocked, right? Haha, it's not a loss to replace the Dou Huang with the Dou Zun."

This was what he should have said the first time he faced this strong man, but now it finally came out of his mouth. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. He had already regretted it from the first time he gave in, because he gave in. After the first time, there will be a second time. Now, he doesn't want to retreat again.

The batfish was puzzled, and immediately blurted out and asked:
"Why are you suddenly not afraid anymore? Look at this glorious palace and those beautiful women. Are you willing to do it?"

Seven years ago, he also came here like this, but at that time, although the old man in front of him was still calm, the fear in his eyes could not be hidden. After he showed his breath, he knelt down on his own, which was completely unlike Now, even though he was suppressed by himself, although there was fear in his eyes, he remained unyielding.

Ouyang Feng felt the pressure on his body disappear, and he was soaked all over. He looked like a man fished out of the water, but he smiled. He truly felt the happiness of having someone protecting him behind him.

The bat fish looked at Ouyang Feng and laughed wildly as if he was nervous. It became more and more puzzled. Even without the instructions of the two people beside it, it still shouted:
"Shut up, don't laugh. Who allowed you to laugh? What the hell are you laughing at?"

For a moment, its heart was full of boredom. When did a fighting emperor dare to be so presumptuous in front of him?How could he still laugh in front of himself?
Ouyang Feng felt the anger of the fish demon, and he really stopped laughing, but what appeared in his eyes was not fear, but a trace of pity.

His eyes stung the fish demon, and a voice in his heart told it to kill the person in front of it who did not fear it. As soon as this thought appeared, it could no longer suppress it, and it even forgot that it was not a matter of life or death at this time. Without his control, he slapped Ouyang Feng.

Feeling the terrifying energy contained in the fish demon's palm, he would never survive under that blow. The look in his eyes changed again, and fear broke into it again, and came with it, There is still reluctance, there is relief, there is relief...

He closed his eyes, but the palm of energy that was enough to crush the earth never fell on him. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a pair of handsome men and beautiful women. He already remembered those two faces very well. Thinking that he was hallucinating before his death, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Your Majesty, National Preceptor, I was wrong, but I didn't make the same mistake again and again..."

Zhao Li and Ye Yunsheng looked at Ouyang Feng with a death wish in his eyes, and they had the same doubts as the bat fish. Ye Yunsheng first confirmed his previous performance and said:
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good than you can do!"

When Ouyang Feng heard her words, he felt relieved for no reason. His Majesty had forgiven him and he could rest assured.

Ye Yunsheng didn't know what was going on in his heart at this time, so he asked the doubts in his heart:
"Aren't you afraid this time?"

The man who had been suppressed and collapsed on the ground pricked up his ears when he heard this question. If he didn't know the answer, he would not rest in peace even if he died.

At this time, Ouyang Feng finally felt that something was wrong. It seemed that everything in front of him was not the hallucination he had before his death. For a moment, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he got up quickly, bowing and saluting:
"See Your Majesty! See the Imperial Master!" But unlike before, this time, he didn't get that ethereal and majestic "Pingshen!" for a long time.

He recalled everything just now in his mind, thinking about the same question His Majesty asked about the fish demon, and understood everything. Maybe he is still alive now precisely because they saw his previous performance.

He knelt down on his own, not out of fear, but to repent for the mistakes he had made, and said slowly:
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken that step back because I couldn't bear it all, because it was the villagers who were being sacrificed instead of myself."

He is a smart man. From beginning to end, he knew that what allowed him to talk to the Dou Zun-level fish monster was never his Dou Emperor-level strength, but because of the great distance behind him and the two towering trees in front of him. But because he was afraid and because the matter had nothing to do with him, he retreated, allowing the river demon to harm hundreds of villages on the border for seven years. Even if he was really only one person a year, there were still more than young women who died because of his retreat. Loss of life.

Seeing Ouyang Feng's behavior before and hearing his words again, Wang Sheng was also very irritable. He was angry for no reason and asked:
"Why? You were not like this seven years ago. Why didn't you make such a choice then?"

He could clearly do better, but he didn't.

Shangguanyan just kowtowed and remained silent.

When Zhao Li saw the two of them looking like this, thoughts surged in his heart, but he couldn't make any comments.

Ye Yunsheng sighed softly and told Ouyang Feng what to do:
"In that case, you can go to the village and show your talents."

No matter how he makes up for it afterwards, the consequences of the mistakes he made in the first place are irreversible. No matter how gently he handles them, it is impossible for him to stay in Qingyang Mansion any longer.

When Ouyang Feng heard that Ye Yunsheng had spared him, to his surprise, he no longer worried about gains and losses as before. Instead, he felt extremely peaceful. He kowtowed and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Zhao Li looked at Ouyang Feng and sighed in his heart. Whether it was the Dou Zhan or even the villagers below the Dou Zhi, or the Palace Master at the peak of the Dou Emperor, there was actually no difference in front of the Dou Zun level bat fish, but When those villagers faced it, they had no way to ask for help and could only kneel down obediently. However, because Ouyang Feng was smart and knew more, he clearly understood that there was a Da Li behind him. Fish demon dialogue...

"Unfortunately, although I am strong, I am not strong enough to change people's hearts. In the face of real threats, there are only a few who really dare to stand firm."

In fact, if Ouyang Feng could pay attention to the fish demon when it first arrived and tell him what happened, how could it have been so arrogant for so many years? In the final analysis, it was just a lack of attention in his mind. The only people the fish demon wants to harm are a few mortals. , and how much does it have to do with him?
Therefore, Ouyang Feng, who had received his protection, should have protected the villagers and given them confidence, but with his concession, everything changed. The villagers no longer trusted the government, and they could not have the confidence to fight against the fish monster on their own. If you don’t kneel, what can you do?
A voice came from Zhao Li's heart:
"The credibility of the Dali government cannot be destroyed like this! It's time for Dali to work hard in this regard."
