Chapter 1988 The Crime Lies with Heaven

"Master Li Xing is right."

Yu Yixian looked at Zhou Shu and said slowly, "It's a very good idea. It's more thoughtful than I thought before."

Lin Qingjue nodded, "This is what the sect master should do, admit his mistakes, live up to heaven and earth, live up to the immortal cultivators, and be praised by others."

Shushan, who had always been at odds with Emei, nodded in secret admiration.

Li Chenyi's expression was indifferent, with a smug smile on his lips. He had worked hard for Zhou Shu. If Zhou Shu went to the immortal world in the future, he would have to say a few good words for Shushan, right?

Zhou Shu thought for a moment and said slowly, "The Star Master's words are very good, but I can't use them."

Li Chenyi couldn't help but be shocked, "Sect Master, why is this?"

Zhou Shu looked solemn, "I am worthy of heaven and earth, why should I apologize to heaven and earth?"

"oh……"

Li Chenyi nodded slightly, but felt quite disapproving of it.

The others were similar. Before, they thought Zhou Shu took responsibility for himself and was very great. Why did it change in the blink of an eye? They didn’t know the reason and couldn’t guess, so they had no choice but to shut up and stop saying anything. Anyway, you are the Human Emperor. Almighty, you have the final say.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Do you think that I am changing orders every day and going back on my word?"

Lin Qingjue shook his head hastily, "How can this matter, suzerain don't worry too much."

Zhou Shu said slowly, "The Penglai Island incident was caused by me, but I am not to blame."

"So that's how it is," Li Chenyi said impatiently, "What the Suzerain said is absolutely true, and the devils are to blame."

Zhou Shu shook his head, "The demons are guilty, but they are not the root cause this time."

Everyone froze, showing the color of pondering, not even the demons, who is that?

After a while, Song Songsong seemed to realize something, and said loudly, "That is the owner of Penglai Island! The real person said that he is definitely not a human being, but a ten thousand-year-old wood demon. It seems that he must have caused this trouble! According to I read……"

Before he finished speaking, a cold gaze came to his face.

Immediately, as if falling into an ice cave, every part of his body was cold, and he couldn't help shivering.

Everyone looked at Song Songsong and shook their heads secretly. No one said anything, but you insisted on saying it. Isn't that what you asked for?

Zhou Shu withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "The island owner has guarded Penglai Island for many years. Where did the crime come from? Elder Song, don't talk nonsense."

"I know I was wrong and I don't dare to say it anymore."

Song Songsong nodded repeatedly, looking tired.

At that moment, he felt the difference between himself and Zhou Shu. It was the difference between dust and boulders. It was impossible to resist. If Zhou Shu really wanted to attack him, he would have no other choice but to wait for death.

Yu Yixian said slowly, "According to the suzerain, who is to blame for the crime?"

Zhou Shu put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky, speechless for a long time.

Everyone also looked over, and felt that the sky was clear and the aura was extremely strong, but there was nothing else, and they didn't understand what Zhou Shu meant.

Zhou Shu shook his head slightly, knowing that they would never think about it, let alone say those two words, so they could only speak by themselves.

"The way of heaven."

Zhou Shu looked around at the crowd, and said word by word, "The sin lies in the way of heaven."

Everyone was shocked, and their faces turned pale unconsciously. These two words really shocked them.

For a moment, there was silence.

No one dared to speak ill of Tiandao, thinking to himself, you are already powerful, so naturally you are not afraid of Tiandao, but we are still pointing at Tiandao.

Zhou Shu knew what they were thinking and said calmly, "Don't worry, I can sense the existence of Heavenly Dao at all times. I guarantee that Heavenly Dao can't see here now. Besides, you don't need to say anything, just listen."

Still no one spoke.

After a while, Zhuge Fuyan said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, please speak, we are all ears."

Someone spoke, and then someone answered. Xia Houying, Miao Di and others also spoke one after another, but Li Chenyi was the last to express his stance.

Zhou Shu smiled and didn't care.

As long as the immortal cultivators are in the Xuanhuang Realm, they will be afraid of the Heavenly Dao in the Xuanhuang Realm. This is natural and there is nothing to blame. It is basically impossible for them to speak ill of the Heavenly Dao, but as long as they can listen, it is enough.

Zhou Shu glanced at everyone and said slowly, "It has been more than 20,000 years before the first Mahayana realm appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm. Doesn't this have anything to do with the way of heaven?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Shu and moved their lips, but no one spoke.

Everyone understands that of course it has something to do with the way of heaven, and it has a lot to do with it. The catastrophe they overcame was far more powerful than that 20,000 years ago. If they had lived 20,000 years ago, they would have already been in the fairy world.

"Heavenly Tribulation has become stronger, many times stronger than before. We don't know why. Maybe it's because Tiandao wants to select better talents to go to the fairy world. Maybe it's for other reasons we don't know. In short, Tiandao seems to have his own Thoughts, his difficulties.”

Zhou Shu shook his head slightly, "But is this fair to the immortal cultivators? Immortal cultivators have gone through countless hardships and hardships throughout their lives to cultivate immortality, and they always persist and never give up, just for a chance to go to the immortal world. Even if this opportunity is pitifully small, it is still an opportunity. But now, this chance has become extremely slim, close to zero. In more than 20,000 years, in more than 20,000 years, only one person has entered the Mahayana realm!"

Everyone fell into silence. What Zhou Shu said was the truth. It was what they wanted to say but dared not say.

Zhou Shu's expression darkened, "Tiandao forcibly raised the threshold for immortality, causing countless cultivators to die of hatred. Isn't he guilty? Tiandao made a mistake, so he should be responsible and bear the consequences for the current situation."

Everyone was still silent, and most of them had expressionless faces, giving people the feeling that they didn't want to hear it anymore.

Although what Zhou Shu said is right, as immortal cultivators, they do not have the courage to resist, or the right to resist. They are not on the same level at all. Even if Tiandao is guilty, it is not their turn to speak out and accuse them. Not to mention punishment.

Zhou Shu nodded and said calmly, "I understand your thoughts. You are immortal cultivators and are bound by heaven. I will not ask you to do anything."

Everyone nodded one after another, showing a bit of relief, and felt a lot more relaxed. It would be better if they didn't have to fight against the law of heaven.

Lin Qingjue said calmly, "The sect leader is also a cultivator of immortality. It would be best if he could understand."

Zhou Shu paused, looked at everyone, and smiled faintly, "You think that I am no longer a cultivator of immortality. Naturally, I can blame Heaven at will and don't have to worry about disaster from Heaven. That makes sense, but what I want to say is that I am still a cultivator of immortality. At that time, I was already fighting against the way of heaven, and I was not the only one who fought against the way of heaven in the stage of cultivating immortals."

"The sect leader is a genius, different from us."

Yu Yixian nodded slightly, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Is there anyone else? I have never heard of a genius like the sect master."

Everyone was also a little confused, thinking who else would fight against Heavenly Dao before they became powerful.

After a while, Lin Qingjue seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Zhou Shu and said, "Could it be that the sect leader is talking about the owner of Penglai Island?"

The monks present understood immediately and looked at Zhou Shu together.

Zhou Shu nodded lightly, "Yes, he is the owner of Penglai Island."

Everyone's expressions tightened and they were speechless for a moment.
