Chapter 93
"Okay, I've said everything I should say. Next, you need to speed up the pace. We don't have much time left. Huang Tian's son is probably about to get out of trouble. The group of people who are coming with darkness are already ready to move, and the disaster is about to begin."
Emperor Zhou taught earnestly, and Bai Fan was puzzled by his words. He seized the opportunity to ask, but Emperor Zhou rarely explained it carefully without refusing.
"Do you know why I want to sacrifice blood to God?"
Not only Bai Fan wants to know this question, but everyone wants to know, after all, how could a generation of wise rulers do such a crazy thing in the end that they left Zhou Butcher's reputation as a stigma.
"Oh, I don't want to do this either. I have been confused and scolded, but in the end I raised the sword in my hand, because others can't do it, only I can do it?"
"Why?" Bai Fan was puzzled and wanted to know the reason.
"There is no reason. This world always needs some sacrifices to save more lives."
Emperor Zhou said calmly, but Bai Fan understood that he had suppressed all the pain in his heart and was unwilling to say more. After all, there were his relatives, lovers, and friends among the millions of dead souls in the gods, but for the purpose or ideal in his heart, he could only wave the butcher knife.
"There are not many choices in life. When you cannot choose, you can only choose to give up one side. There is no right or wrong here. There is only the pain buried in the heart!"
Bai Fan listened quietly and seemed to understand, which reminded him of his current situation. If Lie Ruxin was still alive for the sake of the people of the world, would he wave a knife at him? This question made Bai Fan unable to answer in his heart. Maybe he would not, maybe he would.
"Shenzhou Great 6 has never been peaceful. In the ancient battle, although the darkness was briefly sealed, the real enemy did not stop moving. They were always thinking about annexing the Shenzhou Great 6."
"In order to fight against darkness, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors paid a huge price. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, I was preparing to prevent the arrival of darkness. I thought it would be over here, but I never thought that the horror of darkness would be beyond my imagination! Later, the guardians of the imperial tomb found me, and they told me the true truth. I could not refuse, so I had to sacrifice and refine the people of the gods to delay the arrival of darkness. During this period, I sacrificed and refined the Star Book of Life and Death in order to eliminate their wings before darkness came. I once found my son, hoping that he could take on this responsibility, but I failed, and even my grandson was affected. You were lucky enough to get this book, so there was something happening in the future."
Bai Fan was still confused when he heard this. He still had no idea why the Zhou emperor sacrificed blood to the people, so he continued to ask, but the Zhou emperor answered the question irrelevantly, but told his achievements.
"I succeeded to the throne at the age of eight, and at the age of twelve, and at the age of fifteen, I personally marched to pacify the southern desert, suppress the northern land, open up the western desert, and go on a mission to the East China Sea, expanding the territory of the Great Zhou to an unprecedented level. I opened up canals, built official roads, reduced taxes, abolished lewd sacrifices, allowed all people to recuperate, and opened up an unprecedented prosperous era in the Great Zhou. Unfortunately, the heavens did not follow the wishes of others, and the heavens wanted to destroy our Great Zhou. As the king of a country, how could we sit idly by. Although tens of millions of people were sacrificed, they could save the last people. My butcher of Zhou had a reputation for eternal infamy! "
"I sacrifice blood to the gods to not only prevent the arrival of darkness, but also to sacrifice and refine the small gods and leave a land of hope for the people of the world."
Bai Fan seemed to finally understand the last sentence, but what happened to the sacrifice and refining Xiao Shenzhou?
Emperor Zhou still did not answer the answer Bai Fan wanted, but told him, "You made the choice of the savior, but I don't want you to go on the same path as me and become the executioner who is scolded by the people. What I want is the conscience in your heart and the knife raised in your hand."
Hearing this, Bai Fan's face became unprecedentedly serious. It was Bai Fan's principle that he would abide by it whenever and wherever he would follow it.
"I'm leaving, you're doing it yourself. There's not much time left... May all the people in the world live happily, and those who die can die with peace of mind."
The last prayer embodies the Zhou emperor's desire to save the world, but unfortunately no one understands it. Bai Fan heard the unwilling loneliness from his last voice.
The most ruthless person is the Emperor. This sentence is true. Even so, Bai Fan did not feel the indifferentness of Emperor Zhou. On the contrary, the other party's eyes made Bai Fan know how helpless the other party's ruthlessness was.
After all, killing millions of dead souls for no reason is not something that anyone can bear.
Bai Fan may be able to understand, but ordinary people in the world can kill millions of people in vain to save hundreds of millions of people. No one believes it, even if someone believes it, it will not understand. But the wheel of history will make the last living understand the painstaking efforts of this Butcher Zhou.
Bai Fan didn't know who the real black hand was, and Emperor Zhou did not explain it, but Bai Fan knew that sooner or later he would find out.
The road ahead has already lit up, because someone is opening the way for him, and all he has to do is go all the way and do what he should do.
At this moment, Bai Fan's heart was extremely firm, because his heart was no longer a selfish heart, but the heart of the people who are the public for the world.
Looking at the sky quietly and looking at the world, Bai Fan knew that his burden was heavier.
Bai Fan left. What he wanted to do next was not only to avenge revenge but also to save the innocent people. In the star bead, he showed his own goal, the Sun Star, the reincarnated man Li Qingyang, and his magical powers burn the sky and boil the sea.
The first feeling when Bai Fan saw this person was that this person was the executioner who killed Lie Ruxin. After all, the Zhou Emperor once said that the only person who could kill Lie Ruxin could be the one with the taboo fire, and this person's supernatural powers also imply that he might be mastering one of them. As for which type of person is Bai Fan that cannot be clearly identified, you should know that he does not have much knowledge of the nine taboo fires.
Despite this, fortunately, it would be much easier to deal with with clues. As the most powerful intelligence organization in the Great Sixth Great Palace, the Thieves Palace, can probably provide Bai Fan with a satisfactory answer, but before that, he needs to go to Feixue City. He cannot ignore his promises, and he needs to return Liuli Binghuo.
Before leaving, Bai Fan went to Tielong City again, where the new city lord had taken office. The whereabouts of the three Tie clans are still unknown. Although there is rumors that Tie Wuhen and Tie Wuqing have died, they did not personally confirm that Bai Fan would not believe it. After all, the methods of the two were extraordinary.
Lie Ruxin left nothing. After all, Bai Fan buried an empty tomb in the place where she passed away, but the empty tomb contained his pain, longing and hatred for the enemy.
Once again, he passed by Shanhaiguan. Bai Fan found that there were more than twice as many defenders here than usual, which made him a little confused, but he did not go deeper and continue to rush outside the pass.
Shengjing, the capital of the Dayan Kingdom, is the most prosperous city outside the pass. Unfortunately, with the destruction of the Dayan Kingdom, the prosperity here is gone. Many people were either slaughtered or fled here, so that it became deserted.
When Bai Fan walked into this place and looked at the empty streets, he couldn't help but sigh that war was indeed the most terrifying killing machine.
With his footsteps squeaking on the snow, Bai Fan finally found a tavern to sit down, but unexpectedly, with his arrival, more people flocked to the tavern.
All the warriors seemed to come with a purpose, and Bai Fan's ears keenly captured several key words.
"How could they know that Feixue City's flames were lost!"
Bai Fan was confused and worried. Once he lost the protection of the Glazed Ice and Fire, Feixue City would be in danger. The purpose of these warriors came here is to inquire about the reality of Feixue City and gain their own benefits.
If it were just this small group of warriors, Bai Fan would not care, but if someone deliberately pushed Feixue City behind him, it would be dangerous. Thinking of this, Bai Fan would not stay and rushed to Feixue City immediately, he had to place the glaze ice and fire back as soon as possible.
Shortly after Bai Fan left, more warriors came and they walked together towards the Ice Field. At the same time, the army of Daqi also appeared. Although there were not many people, only a few hundred people, they were the most elite tiger and wolf army in Daqi.
The forbidden ice field is still so dangerous, with ice and snow, storms, monsters... Bai Fan, who was familiar with the road, cleverly avoided it, and soon Feixue City was already far away.
"No, someone is attacking Feixue City!"
From a distance, Feixue City was surrounded by black and covered in black, including human warriors, monsters, and some half-human and half-demonic existences.
Different races gathered together to cooperate sincerely, but there was no conflict. This surprised Bai Fan and was shocked. It was obvious that someone was commanding all this behind him.
Losing the Glazed Ice and Fire, Feixue City returns to the cold, but these are not fatal, the fatal are the people and monsters outside Feixue City who are eyeing each other.
After all, Feixue City is an ancient city that has existed for thousands of years. In order to survive, Feixue City people have made it a solid business here, and it is not easy for the enemy to break in.
Even so, without the loss of the Liuli Ice and Fire, Feixue City's protection ability has been reduced to a minimum, and once the enemy attacks, it will not last long.
Feixue City is in danger, but fortunately Bai Fan came, so he bypassed the city and rushed towards the glass iceberg.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, he took out the ice and fire and released it back. Then he saw that the extinguished flames all over the mountains and fields were burning again.
The ice and fire of glass are like dragons returning to the sea and cheering and swam freely. Bai Fan smiled with relief when he saw this.
On the altar in the city, several old men with white beards were firmly guarding the altar. They were using their own life force to maintain the altar to prevent the flames on the altar from extinguishing. They had reached the point where the oil was exhausted. Fortunately, when the fire at the altar was about to be extinguished, a flame of more than ten feet high suddenly surged, which shocked the elders of the guards to no avail.
"Elder, the flames are restored!"
There were guards outside reminding the elders that only then woke up, but perhaps they were too happy. The overdrawn life made them fall into a coma without relieving. The guards were so shocked that they called again and again. Fortunately, the elders were just unconscious, and everyone felt relieved.
The recovery of the flames inspired the morale of the people in the city. The soldiers responsible for guarding the city launched the first counterattack in history. The enemies outside the city didn't know what they were crazy about, but it was too late to react. The soldiers with great morale rushed over without fear of death. The enemy was killed and fled. At the same time, some of the monsters that had betrayed turned against each other, making the battle in Feixue City smoother.
