Everyone looked at Xu Wuzhou dumbfounded, with shock in their eyes.
Even the Human Emperor's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard! Only the core of the Dao Sect and others sighed secretly in their hearts.
It turned out that the Taoist master really expected this scene that day, so he made a decision in advance and informed them in advance.
While everyone was moved, they also felt that there was a fire suppressing their hearts. The Human Emperor had gone too far to bully others! Xu Wuzhou stepped down from the throne, and Shi Mei followed him and was about to walk to the main hall.
"Taoist Master!"
Finally, someone couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly, "Why is Taoist Master doing this!"
The Human Emperor was also looking at Xu Wuzhou at this time. Was Xu Wuzhou acting just now?
Advancing to retreat?
This is a good trick, as it catches me off guard.
However, as Xu Baobao's son, you have to pay the price.
Many people in other courts also reacted, thinking that Xu Wuzhou should resign to show his loyalty.
But how can anyone ask him to resign? So this is just his attitude.
At this time, I saw someone standing up, and many people also stood up. They looked at Xu Wuzhou and said, "Tao Master, there is no need for this."
But to everyone's surprise, he said: "Don't think I'm trying to be pretentious. Since I promised to resign, I will definitely resign.
I, Xu Wuzhou, have always kept my word, and I do the same in this matter.
I, Xu Wuzhou, have my own pride. Fame, fortune and wealth are as important to me as clouds. I will never be greedy for power.
For me, since leaving the throne can relieve the world's worries, what do I have to be attached to?"
Speaking of this, Xu Wuzhou waved his hands and said, 'Okay, from this moment on, I am no longer a Taoist master.
After today, I will flee to other places and never see Dao Zong again."
Looking at Xu Wuzhou's determined expression, everyone understood that Xu Wuzhou was serious.
It is absolutely impossible to say such decisive words just to show your attitude.
It was deathly quiet all around, and the Emperor was also sluggish in his seat.
He did all this just to limit Xu Wuzhou's power and suppress him.
But he never thought of directly forcing Xu Wuzhou to give up his position.
Because Xu Wuzhou's prestige is too high and his achievements are too high.
He won the battle between humans and demons, and his achievements in killing the saint and the demon emperor made him directly become a god.
So even if he was the Human Emperor, he could only endure it when Xu Wuzhou took the throne.
If it weren't for Xu Baobao's anger among people and gods, he wouldn't even be able to find any crime to suppress Xu Wuzhou.
After all, ordinary charges are of no use to him.
But even if Xu Baobao's accusation is used, it can only make people suspicious, and Xu Wuzhou can be restrained by expressing his innocence through righteousness. It is extremely difficult to shake Xu Wuzhou's position as Taoist master.
But who would have thought that Xu Wuzhou would resign as Taoist master directly to prove his innocence.
What is this?
Everything is forced by me, the Emperor! Everything is done by me to eliminate dissidents and be motivated by interests?
Seeing that Xu Wuzhou was about to leave, the Human Emperor finally became angry.
Only when Xu Wuzhou sat on the Taoist throne could he reasonably doubt Xu Wuzhou with righteousness and force him to limit himself in order to prove his innocence.
Perhaps if Xu Wuzhou simply stopped taking the position of Taoist Master, his reputation would directly collapse.
Even if he becomes a saint now, he may not be able to suppress such turbulent public opinion.
When Mo Daoxian comes to power, even if he doesn't have as much prestige as Xu Wuzhou.
But when his reputation has completely collapsed, Mo Daoxian can immediately and smoothly inherit everything Xu Wuzhou has, and even become more prosperous.
He is a saint! He is the only saint in the world! He is also the Human Emperor! Could it be that he is really transparent?
No! The King of Chu was very transparent in his time. People in the world said that he was inferior to the King of Chu and wanted to abdicate the Human Emperor to the King of Chu.
But now, I feel it is not as good as in the days of King Chu. After all, even though I was incompetent at that time, I was only called a mediocre soldier.
But if I do it now, I'm afraid I will be fooled.
Therefore, the Human Emperor, who had been patient for many years, finally couldn't suppress his emotions and angrily scolded Xu Wuzhou: "Stop!"
Xu Wuzhou turned his head, looked at the Human Emperor and said, "What else can you do?"
The Human Emperor said with a gloomy face: "If you want to make things clear, why would you throw away your burden and just stop doing it? How will this make the world think?
Do you think I am directly forcing you to give up your position?"
Xu Wuzhou glanced at the Human Emperor and said: "This is strange, you said that I am Xu Baobao's son, and I might fulfill Xu Baobao's wish to sacrifice blood to the human race.
You said that as a Taoist master, I have unique abilities.
People in the world will be somewhat doubtful and worried.
Well, I want the world to not worry.
Isn't this the best solution to directly resign as Taoist Master?
I also said that I am not a human emperor for you, I only want to make the world feel at ease."
"..." The Human Emperor was extremely aggrieved. He had millions of words he wanted to say.
But for a moment, nothing could be said.
How do you say this?
Because what Xu Wuzhou said was all he said, and he didn't even say that he was forced by the emperor. If he continued to accuse him, it would be because he was mean.
"Let's go!"
Xu Wuzhou spoke to Shi Mei and walked slowly outside. He tried his best to make his steps seem a little uninterested.
Everyone looked at Xu Wuzhou and was about to walk out of the hall. Finally, some people couldn't help it. They knelt on the ground and said with tears: "Tao Master! We absolutely believe in you, and please stay!"
"Master Tao, please stay!"
"Tao Master! Don't leave!"
"..." At this moment, many courtiers, princes and leaders were prostrate on the ground, begging Xu Wuzhou to stay.
Xu Wuzhou's prestige was undoubtedly evident at this moment.
Xu Wuzhou paused as he was about to step out of the hall, sighed, turned to look at the crowd and said, "You don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind.
This is the best outcome for everyone.”
"The Taoist Master leaves, which is the worst possible outcome.
How can the Taoist say it is the best result?"
Someone's voice choked up.
Xu Wuzhou looked over and saw that it was the leader of the Five Directions.
Xu Wuzhou regretted a little. He had seen that the leader of the Five Directions Church was a transparent person among many leaders before. If the Five Directions Religion had not been very powerful, he would not have been able to remember this person.
Therefore, there is no special care for him.
I didn't expect that he would be such a Chicheng person.
Alas, people should have taken more care of her in the first place.
However, even though I resigned, I can still take care of Wu Yao by saying hello to him.
This kind of Akagi gentleman must not be buried.
"Everyone, please get up.
Alas, I am Xu Baobao's son. It would really be inappropriate for me to sit in the position of Taoist Master.
Even if everyone believes it, there must be some people in the world who don’t believe it.
Some people will even take this opportunity to engage in conspiracy, which will make the world worried.
How can I, Xu Wuzhou, frighten the world just because of myself?
The most important thing is that people take advantage of this.
It is also not conducive to the stability of our human race.
Our human race has experienced a war between humans and demons and won a great victory.
It's a good time, how can the human race be in turmoil again because of me?
The stability of the human race is better than anything else. As for me, I am just a person and not that important."
Xu Wuzhou's words spread throughout the court.
And Sangong and others finally understood why Xu Wuzhou repeatedly reminded stability was the most important thing in the previous meeting.
