Chapter 1875 - 439: Chen Jiu IV: Earthly Immortal? You Didn’t Tell Me There Was a Shortcut!
Why are they here?Chen Jie looked inside the room, two people were there, and those two were conspiring about something.
Chen Jie moved closer to listen.
"Brother Du, is that Tuotuo trustworthy? After all, we were once offenders of the court, if we help him now, can he really grant us high official positions and riches?"
"Aren’t you afraid he’ll kill the donkey once the grinding is done?"
"Han Dharma King, since when did you become so timid and cautious? Ever since we escaped from Bright Peak, we’ve had nowhere to go. The North and South Red Scarves see us as traitorous disciples. If we fall into their hands, we’re surely doomed."
"If you don’t surrender to the court, what else do you intend to do?"
Du Zundao looked at Han Miaozhen and asked, to which Han Miaozhen replied, "Even though we’ve offended the North and South Red Scarves, it doesn’t mean we must surrender to the court. If worse comes to worst, with our abilities, can’t we gather a force and go on our own?"
"When chaos ensues in the world, we could take the opportunity to seize a territory and become a local lord, isn’t that better than being dogs for the Mulan people?"
"Hahaha, seizing a territory, do you really think it’s that simple?"
"We’re considered traitorous disciples. The North and South Red Scarves, even the overseas Fang Guozhen, all see us as enemies to be eliminated."
"If we start our own base, let me ask you, starting our own base requires settling in one place to develop power. Once that power grows, regardless of Liu Futong, or Fang Guozhen, even Peng Yingyu, when they learn of our whereabouts, do you think they will let us go?"
Upon hearing this, Han Miaozhen immediately fell silent.
"If they attack us, given our abilities, not to mention defeating them, can we retreat unscathed, that’s the question!"
After these words were spoken, Han Miaozhen thought for a long time before saying, "In such chaotic times, must they force us to take desperate measures?"
Du Zundao looked at the somewhat naive Han Miaozhen and said, "Then let me ask you, even if we assume they don’t trouble us, if we start our own sect, we’ll certainly engage in anti-Qian activities. When it attracts an attack from the court, how should we respond at that time?"
"If we are outmatched, do you think the Red Turbans around the world will come to our aid or will they clap their hands in glee seeing us wiped out?"
Du Zundao looked at Han Miaozhen and asked, and Han Miaozhen understood the key points after hearing this.
Anyone in the world could engage in anti-Qian activities, except the two of them. Anywhere others begin uprisings against Qian, the Red Turban Army would support them.
Only these two have been marked by the Zoroastrian Sect on the pillar of shame and have become the common enemies of all the Red Turbans. Others might have reinforcements, but they are isolated, with no one willing to support them. So if they continue on the anti-Qian path, it’s a dead end.
Therefore, only two paths are available to them: The first is to join Daqian and become people of the court, where what they did is unforgivable among the rebels, but for the court, it’s actually an achievement.
There is a saying, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, that’s the logic.
The second is to abandon their pursuit of power immediately, to hide in the mountains, or even sail overseas, evading offshore.
Besides these two paths, all other paths are dead ends.
After careful deliberation and multifaceted examination, Du Zundao finally decided to seek refuge with the court, which is why he explained it to Han Miaozhen.
Du Zundao looked at the worried Han Miaozhen and said, "I know what you’re thinking, we were born as Han people, and endured great oppression, and after fighting for years in the sect, we have a deep-seated hatred for the Mulan people. It’s indeed difficult to reconcile and consider them as equals."
"But we have no other choice, one mistake after another, if our plan on Bright Peak had succeeded, right now we would be considering how to drive the Mulan people out of the Central Plains."
"But now we’ve lost, we’ve become stray dogs, so we have no right to be choosy. Being dogs for the Mulan, I don’t want it either, but is there any other way?"
"No, no, we can only be someone’s dog, apart from that choice, we have nowhere else to go!"
Du Zundao looked at Han Miaozhen and said this, Han Miaozhen, upon hearing this, looked at Du Zundao, remained silent, and after a long time, said, "Then, that seems to be the only option."
Du Zundao remarked, "Actually, it’s not so bad now, Tuotuo wants more power, and power needs people to uphold it, so he is now in urgent need of all kinds of talents, and you and I are precisely the top-tier combat power he needs most.";
"I have already spoken with Tuotuo, as long as his plan succeeds this time, she is willing to lead you to see the Living Buddha Basiba, and have the Living Buddha grant you a Golden Lotus Fire. With that Golden Lotus Fire, your Phoenix Fire can evolve again, by then, you can enter the Melt God Realm!"
Hearing this, Han Miaozhen widened her eyes and said, "Really?"
Du Zundao said, "You and I are already like grasshoppers on the same rope, there’s no escaping for either of us. What would be the point in lying to you?"
"Moreover, I am already in the Melt God Realm, to advance further, I need an Innate Dao Fruit, but those Innate Dao Fruits have already been consumed, to obtain one requires killing someone to allow the Dao Fruit to be recreated, otherwise, how else can I advance my Realm?"
After hearing this, Han Miaozhen didn’t say anything. There were some things she knew about.
Such as the recreation of a Dao Fruit.
This Innate Dao Fruit has a limited number, and the ones already known have been mostly taken, so, to advance, besides finding a way to search for Dao Fruits in nature, there’s another way, which is to kill an existing Melt God Realm powerhouse, seize the Dao Fruit from them and use it oneself to continue to advance.
