Chapter 151 Is there still justice?
"As a monk, you are intervening in the war between two mortal countries. Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"
How could a righteous cultivator kill a mortal in vain?
Zhou Ling could not see any evil on the monk's face. But she couldn't figure out what drove him to do such a cruel thing.
With the blood of mortals on his hands, how can he continue on the path of cultivating immortals?
"Haha! What did you say? You said there will be divine punishment? Meddling in the affairs of mortals will lead to divine punishment? Hahaha!"
Zhou Ling didn't expect that this question could drive the person crazy.
If a person is not afraid of death, it will be even more terrifying if he goes crazy.
Zhou Ling didn't really want to kill him. Even if he did something wrong, it was not her job to judge him. What she could do was to hand him back to his sect and let them deal with him.
But at this moment, the man under her sword began to seek death, swaying from side to side, laughing crazily, and even once bumped into her sword, trying to slit his own throat and end his life, blood splattering on the spot.
But as he laughed, the man's voice changed tone, from a crazy laugh to a desperate cry.
Having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time that Zhou Ling saw a grown man crying like a tearful pear blossom. He cried so hard that he couldn't speak, and at the end he began to hiccup uncontrollably and even retched.
Zhou Ling couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she grabbed his collar, shook him hard, and yelled, trying to wake him up. Is it time to cry now? Those mortal relatives who died under the birds haven't started crying yet!
"Little Taoist friend, you probably don't know, right? Haha... Times have changed, they have changed! In today's mortal world, it is no longer controlled by mortals themselves. It is clearly controlled by cultivators! Look where the battlefield is now? At the doorstep of the imperial city of Dongqi! They have come to our home! Do you know how many cities they have massacred along the way? Do you know why this small group of soldiers is invincible? Haha! It is because of us cultivators who can make things happen in the mortal world! There are cultivators helping them, helping them to slaughter enemy soldiers, helping them to kill the people in the city, helping them to win battles again and again. After annexing so many small countries around them, they come to annex Dongqi again!"
Perhaps he had just cried too loudly, for when the man yelled these words his voice was dry and hoarse, and he could hardly catch his breath.
However, Zhou Li and Zhou Ling were stunned. What was this man talking about? Were there other cultivators interfering in the war between the two countries in this mortal world?
Invincible? Massacre? Annexation of countries and seizure of territories?
"Impossible! How could someone sacrifice his own path to immortality to come to the mortal world and stir up such unnecessary troubles?"
There are rules in the world, and these rules are called the Way of Heaven. The operation of the rules of the Way of Heaven will never go wrong. As a cultivator, you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. This is an iron rule that everyone knows.
No matter who dares to violate it, no one can escape the punishment of heaven.
In fact, many people in the world of immortal cultivation were born in ordinary families in the mortal world. After becoming a cultivator, the stronger their ability, the greater their responsibility. Some cultivators are open-minded and will go home to visit their relatives from time to time while they are still alive. But when those relatives pass away, they will completely let go of their past and pursue the way to immortality.
But this is what the monks who can think positively do, while there are some monks who cannot think positively and their actions are more extreme.
They would return to their hometowns with the skills they learned in the world of immortal cultivation, and abuse their power, interfere in state affairs, and even realize their ambitions, wanting to unify the world with their abilities as cultivators and become emperors. There have always been many such people, but due to the strict supervision of the major sects, every place in the mortal world has its own management and division areas in the world of immortal cultivation. Each sect keeps a close eye on its own small area to prevent such things from happening.
It is hard to guard against, and one or two such things often pop up, but basically the sect does not need to take action. Once they do, the Heavenly Dao will notice it, and will make them suffer backlash at a very fast speed. Death is the lightest punishment, and worse still, the soul will be scattered and there will be no afterlife.
There are more and more examples accumulated by the predecessors, and fewer cultivators have such evil thoughts. After all, who is willing to sacrifice their entire life just to be happy for a few moments and become a superior person in the mortal world?
The monk who suffered the backlash and died at the fastest speed recorded in history only died in a short day.
Just ask yourself, who would be willing to go to the mortal world to be an emperor for a day and then die?
There is no need to think about the answer. Unless someone is mentally ill, no one would be willing to do that.
And right now, someone has already died because of the man in front of him. His current situation should not be far from being punished by God, right?
But if what he said was true, he was not the only one interfering in the affairs of the mortal world, but also the enemy who came to attack the State of Dongqi. Then it would be a big deal.
Zhou Ling always knows her position clearly. She might stop and take a look at some small things, but once it comes to something as big as this, she won't have time to hide!
What kind of person can find a way to avoid divine punishment?
Of course, it doesn’t matter who found the method. What matters is that this method should not exist in the world!
This is too outrageous. This is equivalent to a fatal bug. If everyone can avoid the punishment of heaven and come to this mortal world to do whatever they want, then will these mortals in the mortal world be able to bear it? Do they still have to live a good life?
"Is what you just said true? Which sect are you a disciple of? Do you have enough evidence for what you just said? Don't worry, we are not here to kill you. We just happened to travel here. Fellow Daoist, you need to know that if everything you just said is true, the cultivation world will not sit idly by. At least the people of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance will come here to investigate the truth and bring justice to this world!"
The matter was of great importance, and Zhou Ling spoke sincerely, attempting to gather some evidence to determine the truth before reporting the matter to the sect.
This was not something she could control. She should inform the sect about this. The sect was much more powerful than her and would be able to make proper arrangements.
"Is there any justice in this world?" The man wiped away his tears and smiled bitterly.
"I have only been on the immortal path for a short time, but something happened in my hometown, and my relatives died in the war. I noticed something was wrong, so I reported it to the sect and asked for help, but no one paid any attention to me! Do you know what our leader said? I tried my best to beg him, but he said that the life and death of mortals had nothing to do with him, and he was very busy and had many things to deal with in the sect, so I didn't bother him unless it was something serious! Ha... Is this what is called justice? Is this what is called a cultivator? No one helped me, I was forced to save myself! My country cannot be destroyed! At least it cannot be destroyed by the hands of the enemy cultivators!"
