After hearing the news of his return, Raiden Zhen was already waiting here with Huzhai Palace.
At the conference table, what happened on Blood Shadow Island was first narrated, and then thousands of people were brought out to see what their opinions would be.
Regarding Aatrox's true identity, Xuanjie did not choose to say much.
Even he had never gotten any information about this matter before, and it was about the First Throne. The less people knew about some things, the better.
"Have more than a thousand people suddenly been added... We do still have enough land in the newly conquered area, but we didn't plan to develop it originally. Now we have enough food and other things."
Naturally, Xuanjie wouldn't believe Lei Ding's true words. She was shrewd and was definitely preparing the conditions.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say. After all, they are the people we brought here. If we can help, we will definitely take action."
Seeing Xuanjie being so cheerful, Leiden Zhen also expressed his thoughts.
The original purpose was to get Xuanjie and A Cai to help Dao's wife to defend against the enemy. She had a good sense of proportion and did not restrict her movements. It just meant that if Dao's wife encountered a disaster, they would have to come and lend a helping hand.
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Jie nodded in agreement.
Now Mr. Inazuma regards him as a god. Although it is a bit different from the original idea, but... being a hands-off shopkeeper like now was a dream in the past.
There is no problem with Ah Cai. If this group of people is to survive, this condition must be agreed to.
The biggest reason why Raiden Zhen made such a request was that the group of demons led by the God of Shark had already established a foothold on the mainland.
In this way, Inazuma Castle must be protected with sufficient combat power so that it will not suffer a devastating attack.
It was already getting late, and the residents who had been brought here were properly accommodated. The sound of insects surrounded the houses filled with laughter and laughter.
I went to Ah Cai's room and wanted to inform her of the matter, but she was still sleeping and didn't wake up at all. When I got closer, I saw that cold sweat was breaking out on her forehead and she was trapped in a nightmare.
"Don't...don't kill them...don't!"
The sound of "Three Don'ts" filled the room, and Xuan Jie hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Ah Cai, who was breathing heavily. The fear accumulated in his eyes had not yet dissipated.
"It's okay, it's just a nightmare. Just calm down." Sitting in front of the bed, Xuan Jie gently stroked her back to comfort her.
However, Ah Cai threw herself into his arms, and the next second her tears eroded her collar.
"I dreamed that Aatrox turned into a demon, raised the sword glowing with red energy and slaughtered everywhere. Everywhere he went was engulfed in fire! People became dead souls under the sword one after another, but I...I
But I can only watch!"
Acai...
Xuanjie knew that she was kind-hearted, but he was unwilling to let her be bound by this insignificant humanity.
First, she is a powerful demon.
Secondly, if you have transcendent power, if you don’t have the character to match it, the consequences will be serious.
At least Aatrox threatened people's lives, and A Cai had no room to resist.
Even if you are lucky enough to escape, you will still remember the lives of those people in your heart. This kind of thinking is very dangerous.
"Ah Cai, listen to me. Even though you are a demon, there are many things that you cannot change. No matter how strong a person's power is, it is limited. In fact, there is no need to be too sad. I have also been through this situation like you.
At the beginning, I also wanted to save everyone, but later I discovered...the less you can let go of your obsession, the fewer people you will save. If you want to avoid war, you have to start from the fundamentals."
That's right, at first Xuanjie didn't want to participate in the war between demons and gods. He just wanted to protect his people and live a stable life.
But how can there be a peaceful place in the chaos?
Either give in without a bottom line and seek stability, or join in and become a winner and bring real peace to the people.
Xuanjie chose the latter. He was strong but could easily be threatened by others, and he had very little combat power in his hands.
As his territory continued to be lost and his people were often displaced, he finally figured it out.
"Only by ending war with war can eternal peace be achieved!"
War cannot avoid losses. It was under the training of this belief for thousands of years that Xuanjie transformed into what he is today.
Xiao Ke's situation was obviously much more serious than his.
She doesn't look like a demon at all, but a human with the strength of a demon.
Judging from the power that defeated Aatrox in the first place, her ability is not even inferior to that of Xuanjie. In other words, she just doesn't know how to control this power.
Excessive kindness cannot change the nature of disaster, but strength can, and when the time is right, eternal peace will come.
Xuan Jie talked a lot with Ah Cai that night, and Xuan Jie just wanted her to listen a little bit.
When he looked at her again, he realized that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Oh, I can fall asleep while talking to you. Should I say that I am worthy of you?"
After teasing her, he put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt and left.
The long chirping of insects at night sounded in his ears, and the gentle wind blew across his cheeks, bringing back memories deep in Xuan Jie's mind.
Standing in front of the stone guardrail, looking at the moon is full of sadness.
"After talking to Ah Cai so much, I actually haven't thought about my own path. Once I fall into the quagmire of war, I won't be able to get out."
When I passed by the martial arts arena at night, the sound of clashing weapons was still heard inside.
"Is there anyone still practicing martial arts at this late hour? They are too diligent..."
Xuan Jie carefully approached and found a familiar figure.
"It's her... who's staying up so late and dancing with swords here. What's wrong with her?"
Thinking of this, Xuanjie used the flower bed and the weapon rack as cover and gradually slipped inside.
"Humph, that damn guy... He didn't say a word when he left, and he didn't say a word when he came back! He's actually still holding... huh?"
I don't know whether it was because the enemy's aura was too obvious, or because the shadow was very vigilant, but he was complaining when he suddenly realized that someone was eavesdropping behind the flower bed.
Someone actually dared to spy on me! And eavesdropped on my words... The crime is unforgivable!
Anger emerged from Ying's body again, she picked up the knife and walked towards the flower bed.
Even without looking back, Xuan Jie could feel the obvious murderous intent.
No way...were you discovered right after you arrived?
Forehead...
The next second, the two sides looked at each other.
Facing the pretentious Xuan Jie, Ying just replied lightly, "We are really enemies of each other on a narrow road. We are taking advantage of the cool weather to run to the martial arts arena. And... why are you sweating?"
Can I stop sweating when you stare at me with a knife and pretend to eat someone?
"Oh... I see the moonlight is beautiful, and I came here to have tea with you... Hey! Don't use the knife, I really came to see you to enjoy the moonlight!"
Just like that, Xuan Jie was chased all over the street again because he mentioned something he shouldn't have mentioned.
"Believe me, I really miss you, so I came here to see how my martial arts is progressing recently!"
