Chapter 672: Chapter 535 Strategy to Punish the Heart + Chapter 536 Five Desires Confusion_2

But no matter who uttered a half-wordly disrespect towards Fantian, let alone having a good life, merely surviving would be an extremely difficult task.

Even though everyone believed in Brahma Temple, the lives of people within the county city were still utterly miserable.

Herein lies another tragic tale.

There was a great calamity under heaven, people exchanged their children for food, and refugees were everywhere.

It wasn’t just an issue isolated to any one prefecture or county.

As the saying goes, the whole world is as black as crows.

Even in the western Yujing City, it was said that many citizens had starved to death.

The high-ranking officials, who couldn’t bear to see people suffer, would send out people daily to drag the dead out of the city and throw them onto the Mass Grave.

It is said that the Mass Grave, originally flat land, had now become a sloped hill.

"A thousand-year calamity..."

A trace of sorrow appeared in Green Lady’s eyes, seemingly recalling some distant past events.

After a while, she heaved a long sigh.

"With the world in such a state, the Imperial Court is at fault, but these Sects and World Families are also criminally inexcusable. No wonder the Red Lotus Sect, the more they are suppressed, the more widespread and stronger they become. This must be the will of the heavens."

There were uprisings of the Red Lotus Bandits in various counties across the Nine Provinces, not because the Red Lotus Sect was actually strong to that extent.

In some areas, they were merely using the name of Red Lotus to rise up.

Even though it was known to be a path leading to death.

But just to live happily for one more day, they were willing to risk their lives.

"Therefore, the citizens within the city harbor hatred in their hearts, even without realizing it themselves."

Green Lady finally understood what Zhou Ping’an was getting at.

That flame of hatred, as long as no one pointed it out, it naturally lay silent. But once someone deliberately made it clear, kindling the first fire, they would find that countless flames of anger could actually start a prairie fire.

...

Three days later.

Zhou Ping’an stood at the city gate.

He looked up at the still vast white clouds of the mass believed in wishes.

He even saw within the light of the clouds, a magical bauble like a small Sun, emitting thick, solemn Buddha Power.

Just watching from afar, he felt a chill over his body, as if a great danger was about to befall him.

"Compared to the day I charged into Zhao Mountain, exterminating Li Yuangang after meticulous planning, the Old Monk Xuan Shan controlled even more abundant and stronger Buddha Power, primarily because of the incredibly rich telekinesis of belief."

"In this situation, just daring to enter the city would meet with a devastating blow to the head; I fear I wouldn’t be able to withstand even one blow, despite having greatly increased my strength now."

Zhou Ping’an silently sensed the increasingly strong premonitions of danger.

He had to admit, Old Monk Xuan Shan’s response was indeed admirable.

"Calculating the time, Jinhe County should already be unable to resist sister Huaiyu’s consecutive days of attacks, after taking down this city, all eleven cities will be ours. Brahma Temple and the Tang Family’s forces, scattered in various county armies, must already be on their way..."

Green Lady looked up towards the north, her face uncontrollably showing some worry.

What she mentioned were the troops.

In reality, her concern was for the experts mobilized by Brahma Temple and the Tang Family.

None had appeared at this moment.

But it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

The later they appeared,

The more it proved that the opponent’s forces were very well-prepared.

Once they make a move, it would strike like thunder, accurately estimating all of our strength.

There would absolutely be no chance for a turnaround.

"Don’t worry, fine jade does not collide with tiles, in their eyes, they themselves are fine jade."

Zhou Ping’an turned to see a fleeting worry on Green Lady’s face.

He smiled and said, "The more aggressive and fierce we appear, the slower they will come. Without being completely sure, they would absolutely not rush here early. Thus, I had already determined, this wave of attacks would only occur after the county soldiers arrive one after another and form an arrangement, then the whole army will attack."

"Do we need to lead troops to intercept? Nephew, currently, all disciples of the Three Peaks in our Sect have turned to your side, yet they have not made any achievements. At this time, do not hesitate to use them to your heart’s content."

Yu Changsheng appeared by the side, saying cheerfully.

Although she spoke so lightheartedly, how could Zhou Ping’an possibly let the Cloud Water Sect’s Inner and Outer Sect disciples form an army to charge? This would be a significant waste, and furthermore, with too many casualties, it would be difficult to explain to the Master and Grandmaster.

"It’s really not the time to use them yet. Wait until we retrain the troops and they become officers at various levels, after receiving the augmentation of Qi Fortune, their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, then they can stand on their own.

They all have important roles, there’s no rush for now. Besides, intercepting the county soldiers now would not impact the enemy’s strength but rather fall into their trap."
