Chapter 755: Selfless People
When Zhang Chen walked out of the yard, he knew why the servants were making such a commotion. This was because the water that the servants had pumped out was bright red, like blood, and had a strong smell.

"Master, there is blood in the well!" A servant saw Zhang Chen coming out and hurried forward to say something.

"There's blood in the well?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard that. Why would there be blood in the well?
Zhang Chen walked forward quickly and saw a group of servants surrounding the bucket by the well and shouting in surprise. Before Zhang Chen got close, he could already smell a fishy odor, the smell of rotting blood.

"Everyone, get out of the way, the master is coming!" The steward shouted, and all the servants dispersed and stood respectfully aside.

At this time, a steward came forward and said respectfully: "Master, the water in the well has suddenly turned into blood. I am afraid it has attracted evil spirits. Please make a decision, Master."

Zhang Chen walked forward and took a look at the blood in the wooden barrel, then lowered his head to look into the well with a hint of emotion in his eyes. He was the master of the blood path, so of course he could sense that the red water in front of him was indeed blood. It was the blood that seeped into the ground and polluted the underground water veins.

"How many people died in Jiangnan? The underground water veins have become polluted." Zhang Chen sighed softly.

Although he has the Blood God Son who can evolve a sea of ​​blood, he cannot take care of the entire North. He can only lurk under the battlefield or in crowded places in advance. But even so, the blood of the dead creatures still pollutes the underground water veins.

"There is no evil spirit in the well, but too many lives were lost in the Jiangnan area, so the underground water veins are polluted. You don't have to panic." Zhang Chen ordered.

But the underground spring water is no longer drinkable.

As Zhang Chen spoke, a drop of blood silently fell into the well water, and a sea of ​​blood was generated in an instant, which began to absorb the blood from under the city of Jinling: "It won't be long before the underground spring water will be purified by heaven and earth. You just have to wait patiently."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he sent out all of his Blood God Sons, who transformed into blood lakes that shuttled underground and absorbed blood from the land of Jiangnan.

"In the future, the land of Jiangnan will become a fertile land. After all, the land of Jiangnan has been soaked in blood and will become extremely fertile." Zhang Chen muttered secretly in his heart.

At this time, the whole Jinling City was boiling, the red blood made people panic, countless people talked about it, and came to Zhou Qiucheng's pavilion to kneel down, which actually caused another wave of incense and faith Zhou Qiucheng had received, making Zhou Qiucheng's incense and faith even more intense and refined.

Zhang Chen mobilized the sound law, and his ears trembled slightly. All the sound waves within a radius of 100 miles were taken into his ears and heard by Zhang Chen. At this time, there were knowledgeable knights in Jinling City who had recognized the origin of the underground blood and spread it to the people around. When the people heard that the underground blood was actually the blood of the demons who slaughtered the human race and polluted the earth, an indescribable panic spread among the crowd. Along with that fear, the people's faith became more refined, and countless people came to Zhou Qiucheng's exquisite tower to pray.

Then a golden light was seen rising from Chongzheng Academy. The divine light was so bright and mighty that the Linglong Tower in Chongzheng Academy actually grew another layer.

"Zhou Qiu took advantage of the massive faith of Jiangnan Dao, and the Shinto magic weapon Linglong Tower was repaired faster and faster." Zhang Chen just took a look and didn't pay too much attention to it.

Zhou Qiucheng's exquisite tower emitted brilliant light, appearing more and more effective, making ordinary people's faith more devout.

However, the people of the entire Jiangnan Road are now in a panic, and negative emotions along with the incense and faith are pouring into the Linglong Tower, which makes Zhang Chen feel an ominous premonition.

But Zhang Chen had no way to stop it.

As time passed by little by little, countless moments passed in the blink of an eye, and before they knew it, it was already seven days before Zhou Qiucheng and Chen Sanliang had agreed to discuss Taoism.

Zhang Chen stood in his own courtyard, looking in the direction of Chongzheng Academy, and saw that Zhou Qiucheng's Linglong Tower had grown to twenty-four floors, doubling in size.

“Unfortunately, it is still at the eleventh level and has not surpassed the eleventh level to the twelfth level.” Zhang Chen looked at the Linglong Tower where divine light was flowing, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Then Zhang Chen looked towards the north of Jinling City. A magnificent purple aura came from the distant void. The purple aura was eight hundred miles long and hung upside down in the void like a river in the sky.

Zhang Chen looked at the purple air with a hint of caution in his eyes. The purple air was not the purple air that could be seen by the naked eye, but the 'fate'. If any trace of it leaked out, it would be enough to turn a wild beast into a monster.

"Chen Sanliang is very lucky. He has already arrived in Jinling. He should be able to reach Jinling City tomorrow." Zhang Chen stood in the yard, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Should I go to greet him?"

Logically, Zhang Chen should have gone to greet Chen Sanliang. After all, he and Chen Sanliang had a close relationship. Since the other party had come from afar, he should have gone to greet him. However, Zhang Chen thought about it and refused. He turned around and walked into the house. Only a sigh sounded in the small courtyard: "I can't ruin Chen Sanliang's way."

All he wanted to do was to save Zhou Qiucheng's life, nothing more. If Chen Sanliang could not defeat Zhou Qiucheng in academics, his path would certainly not be perfect.

Inside the house, Zhang Chen added Yellow Spring Water into the Soul-Binding Lamp before carefully putting the Lamp away. He then walked towards Chongzheng Academy with a little hesitation.

He wanted to see how Zhou Qiucheng was prepared, so that he could choose the right time to rescue Zhou Qiucheng. When Zhang Chen arrived at Chongzheng Academy, the entire Chongzheng Academy was deserted, and there were even fewer disciples in the academy than the last time.

"Logically speaking, since all the dignitaries and academies in Jiangnan are united in their hatred of the enemy, the number of disciples in Chongzheng Academy should have increased. How come it has decreased?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

"Mr. Chen, you are here." Zhang Chen met the chief steward Chen Qi by chance. When the other party saw Zhang Chen, he hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

"Why are there fewer and fewer people in the academy?" Zhang Chen asked the question that was puzzled in his mind.

"All the disciples have been sent down the mountain by the master to go to major cities and villages to spread the faith and organize the people to build temples." Chen Qi said.

"I see." Zhang Chen suddenly realized. He thought all the disciples and teachers had run away, so he turned to look at Chen Qi:
"Where is the dean?"

"You came at a good time. The dean came out of confinement yesterday and is drinking tea in the backyard." Chen Qi said respectfully, "Please follow me."

Zhang Chen followed Chen Qi to the back mountain and came to the backyard where Zhou Qiucheng was. He saw Zhou Qiucheng sitting in the yard playing chess with a cup of tea in front of him, looking leisurely and contented.

When Zhang Chen appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Qiucheng was stunned and put down the chess manual in his hand: "Didn't I tell you to go down the mountain a long time ago? Why are you back again?"

"I'm worried about you, sir, so I was thinking if I could lend a hand when I come back." Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Chen thought Zhou Qiucheng would blame him, but Zhou Qiucheng laughed out loud: "I really didn't misjudge you. You came back just in time. I have found a way to defeat Chen Sanliang. You don't have to go out again after you come back."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this: "Have you found a way to defeat Chen Sanliang's theory?"

He couldn't believe that Chen Sanliang's theory of teaching everyone was so perfect, yet he could still find a flaw in it?

"Of course!" Zhou Qiucheng's voice was full of pride. "My doctrine 'Impartiality' may not be a match for Chen Sanliang's 'Teaching without Discrimination', but why should my doctrine compete with 'Teaching without Discrimination'? I only need to find the flaws in the opponent's doctrine and then defeat the foundation of the opponent's doctrine. Even if Chen Sanliang breaks my doctrine, the two of us are only 50-50, which is a draw."

Zhang Chen understood what Zhou Qiucheng meant. According to the method of duel between martial arts masters, I don't care how much better your martial arts is than mine, as long as I can kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of my own. I don't need defense, at worst I can exchange injuries with you.

"What's more, I have already noticed the limitations of the doctrine of 'Impartiality', and recently I have sublimated it into 'Selflessness of the Human Heart', which will definitely catch Chen Sanliang off guard." Zhou Qiucheng's voice was full of pride: "This time, the two of us are at least evenly matched in this discussion."

“Human hearts are selfless?” Zhang Chen was stunned. Are human hearts really selfless?
"It's just that the theory is in its infancy and not yet perfect. I am not well prepared now, otherwise I would have made his faith in Taoism collapse and he would have died in the city of Jinling." Zhou Qiucheng's voice was filled with a hint of regret.

Although Zhang Chen had some doubts in his heart, he didn't want to pour cold water on him at this time. Instead, he opened his mouth to flatter him: "Congratulations, sir, you will definitely win the first place in this discussion conference. If you can defeat Chen Sanliang, you may be able to resolve this catastrophe. In the future, you will be a great hero of our human race."

Zhou Qiucheng smiled and said, "If we can defeat Chen Sanliang, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the demon race and suppress their arrogance. The prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River may still have a chance of survival."

Zhou Qiucheng pulled Zhang Chen into the house, then he took a few green plums, stewed them in wine, and the two sat in front of the stove and started drinking.

"I heard that Chen Sanliang will arrive in Jinling City tomorrow. We'll have to see what kind of person he is by then." Zhou Qiucheng said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was surprised when he heard this: "What are you going to do, sir? Are you sending someone to assassinate me?"

"Now Chen Sanliang has become a top master in the world. If his moral heart does not collapse, who can assassinate him? I naturally have a way. I will definitely not let him stay in Jinling City in peace." Zhou Qiucheng smiled proudly.

As he was talking, Jiang Nan walked in from the door with a manuscript in his hand. He looked respectful and said, "Sir, I have compiled your theory on the selflessness of human beings. Please take a look."

Jiang Nan had a ruddy complexion and seemed to be living well recently. Jiangnan was in turmoil right now, which had overshadowed her affairs.

After seeing Zhang Chen, Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows, but then retracted them instantly, as if he saw a stranger, without any expression.

"Put it down. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Qiucheng praised after taking the document.
