Chapter 1959 Crisis in Penglai

Amid the boundless demonic energy, Qingque walked very slowly.

It is a bit difficult to resist the demonic energy, to guard against the crazy demon slaves, and to find people who have not lost their will to the demonic soul.

As he was walking, a breeze blew by, sweeping away the demonic energy around him.

"Shu."

Qingque was very excited, "You're back."

Zhou Shu landed next to her and nodded gently.

Qingque whispered, "The city lord said to save as many people as possible."

Zhou Shu said warmly, "I know, together."

With the addition of Zhou Shu, all problems were no longer a problem. Soon, the remaining monks and sea tribesmen on Penglai Island were gathered together by Zhou Shu. There were about seventy or eighty of them, and they all looked miserable.

Most of them came to Penglai Island in the past few days. They didn't have time to be turned into demon slaves, but they were attacked by demon slaves and entangled with demonic energy, unable to leave the island.

Zhou Shu took out the magic crystals and rescued them one by one. In just a few hundred breaths, all the demon blood and demonic aura were expelled from everyone's bodies.

"Thank you so much, Master Zhou, for your help. Your kindness and kindness will never be forgotten!"

"It's still in Sect Leader Zhou's favor. I can still come and go freely here and save everyone. I admire you!"

"I thought I was going to die. These demons are too scary."

Everyone saluted and expressed gratitude.

Zhou Shu nodded and said slowly, "No need to worry, everyone can go on your own."

"Damn Penglai Island, never come again!"

"That's right, I thought I wouldn't be afraid of the aliens if I hid here, but I didn't know that we would still be captured by the demons, so the island owner would be of no use! Or he doesn't want to help us at all, damn it!"

"It's better to go back to the sect, alas."

"I finally came here once, but I encountered something like this. What the hell is this place? This Penglai Island is not worth coming to at all."

For the rest of my life, my words will become unclean.

Qingque raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Penglai Island hadn't saved you, wouldn't you have died like those demon slaves? Now that you've saved your life, you still blame Penglai Island. It's really shameful."

A monk shouted loudly, "That's because you didn't protect us!"

A monk followed and shouted confidently, "That's right, if you take our spiritual stones, you should protect us!"

Qing Que unconsciously sneered, "You can be safe and sound just by giving a few broken spirit stones. How can there be such a thing in the world? The spirit stones are the price for you to practice and participate in the sea meeting, not to save your few lives. What's more, the life and death of immortal cultivators depends entirely on themselves. If you place your life on others and rely on others to protect you, you flee to Penglai Island for refuge. You ignore your own sect and do not protect the Xuanhuang Realm. Are you worthy of being immortal cultivators?"

"this……"

The monks were speechless for a moment, "It's not you who saved us, it was Sect Leader Zhou."

Zhou Shu looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "I am also the protector of Penglai Island. I will definitely give you an explanation about Penglai Island in the future. Please don't say more and leave."

Everyone was startled. Zhou Shu was the protector of Penglai Island, but not many people knew about it.

A monk saluted and said, "It's better that Sect Leader Zhou speaks nicely. I'll wait."

"There must be an explanation. At least the spirit stone must be returned to us."

"Yes, yes, I am the sect master of Baishan Sect. Sect Master Zhou must remember to return it. Our small sect does not have many spiritual stones. They are all collected by the disciples. I hope I can escape this disaster and keep Baishan." Zong…”

Amid the noise, everyone hurried away.

In the demonic aura, Zhou Shu had already opened a passage, and they could go there without any hindrance.

"You shouldn't have saved them."

Qingque was still angry, "What the hell! You're acting like this after saving your life, as if we owe them."

Zhou Shu looked calm, "Most immortal cultivators are like this, forget it."

"Forget it now, it's okay later. With their mouths, I don't know what they will say."

Qingque shook his head and looked at Zhou Shu, looking worried, "Actually, you shouldn't say that you are a protector. When they go out, they will definitely arrange you and affect your reputation. Now you are a new star in the world of immortality." Human Emperor, if..."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "I am really the protector of Penglai Island, don't you admit it? Even the Human Emperor has received less slander back then. It will only happen sooner or later."

What Qingque said is right. These people will definitely tell the story about Penglai Island being invaded by demons, and they will definitely talk about Penglai Island's inaction and all kinds of disgusting things, while they are innocent. The victims were only affected by Penglai Island. Zhou Shu had seen many such things.

But what can we do? Should we let these people die?

That would go against your own conscience.

The world is what it is, it’s up to others to slander, just be yourself.

The Human Emperor at that time gave everything for the Xuanhuang Realm, and finally left, leaving his artifact to protect the Xuanhuang Realm, but what result did he get? With just one conspiracy, people tampered with the sword, and the Xuanyuan Human Emperor became the biggest sinner in the Xuanhuang Realm. The Xuanhuang Realm is so big, but only Aolai country worships the Human Emperor. Others mentioned the Human Emperor, They all looked disdainful.

Being in his position, he has to endure these things, slander and praise, always more the former. Zhou Shu sees it clearly and doesn't care much.

Keep being yourself.

The ground suddenly sank, and the two sank.

The city lord looked at Zhou Shu with a slightly bitter look on his face, "Zhou Shu, this is my fault, you are not responsible."

Zhou Shu smiled lightly and handed the magic crystal over, "City Lord, you first remove the demon blood and demon energy."

The city lord took the magic crystal, but did not move. He said slowly, "I have thought about it. After the demonic energy is cleared, I will close Penglai Island and no longer accept anyone."

Qingque's expression froze, "Huh?"

The city lord nodded seriously, "Penglai Island still has Wushuang City. The mission is almost over. I have to concentrate on preparing the Babel Tower. After the Babel Tower is completed, I will no longer be able to occupy Penglai Island. I will have to leave sooner or later."

Zhou Shu seemed thoughtful, "It's about time."

Once the Babel Tower is built, the city owner will leave the Xuanhuang Realm, Wushuang City will naturally disappear, and Penglai Island will have a new owner.

Qing Que came to his senses and could only nod, feeling a lot of reluctance in his heart.

Although I knew this day would come sooner or later, it still felt uncomfortable to have it come so quickly.

The city lord sighed and smiled bitterly, "I wish I had made this decision earlier, just to get more resources. Who would have thought of such a thing? After being famous for a lifetime, he was about to leave but ended up with this result, haha."

Qingque said comfortingly, "Since we are all leaving, why bother thinking so much? Those people can't afford to make trouble."

"Can't make trouble?"

The city lord shook his head, "Even if those people don't add fuel to the fire, the fact that Penglai Island is attacked by demons and tens of thousands of monks die will cause an uproar in the Xuanhuang Realm. You will see when the time comes. I don't know how many people will come to accuse me." , I closed Penglai Island because of this consideration."

Qingque said coldly, "As long as we are here, you won't be afraid of anyone coming."

The city lord shook his head slightly, but said nothing. Qingque was still naive, and this could not be changed by force.

The usually pure land has turned into a slaughterhouse for the demons. Penglai Island’s past enemies will jump out. With ulterior motives, they will put the blame on Penglai Island instead of the demons. They may even say that the demons and Penglai Island have colluded for a long time. If we can't think of a good countermeasure, Penglai Island may be doomed in the world of immortality. As the protector of Penglai Island, Zhou Shu and the Heyin Sect are also in danger.
