Chapter 503: Chapter 235 Accident_2

In the back kitchen, countless bones could be found, but what they belonged to was hard to say.

There’s a big yellow dog in the yard, gnawing on a leftover half of a human hand with bloodshot eyes.

The shopkeeper, along with several thugs, are now kneeling on the ground.

Surrounded by the bodies of their comrades.

They have already clarified why Bone Erosion Powder was added to their food.

This place falls within the territory of Jile Heavenly Palace, and those targeted by Jile Heavenly Palace could not be their allies.

Master Hongyun and his group had been thorns in the side of Jile Heavenly Palace.

Once here, it was impossible to let them leave.

If they didn’t poison Su Mo and the others today, tomorrow people from Jile Heavenly Palace would come knocking to feed them to the dogs.

This was quite understandable, so Su Mo did not press further.

Instead, he let their group of monks eat while casually chatting with Master Hongyun.

The topic of conversation was nothing more than recent updates.

There wasn’t much Su Mo could say about his own experiences, many of which were not fit for sharing.

Master Hongyun, however, an honest man, recounted his own deeds since entering Dongcheng and delving deep into the Demon Sect.

Only then did Su Mo realize that this old monk had it tough.

The lands of the Demon Sect were naturally different from those controlled by the Righteous.

Here, people’s hearts leaned towards evil.

Not because human nature is initially evil, but because everyone around was evil.

If you were not wicked, others would take your life.

Even ordinary farmers tilling their land might secretly harm others for more property.

Such circumstances awakened a deep compassion in Master Hongyun, for the people here no longer knew what the world should look like.

Master Hongyun’s following monks initially thought they were of the most ruthless kind.

But here, they realized there were always bigger fishes.

Fortunately, as long as it didn’t concern their own interests, people wouldn’t genuinely harm a group of monks.

And the monks following Master Hongyun did look like they were not to be trifled with.

Taking advantage of this, Master Hongyun genuinely spread Buddhist Law among these common villagers.

This, however, led to a significant backlash.

The locals, trusting only in themselves, how could they believe in Gods and Buddhas?

Compared to the monks’ compassion, they relied more on the knives in their hands.

They could resort to any means to achieve their goals, but they would never relinquish their weapons to seek redemption.

They had no shore to reach behind them; they could only push forward, either climbing out from a pile of corpses

or making a bloody path of their own.

Or… drowning in a sea of blood.

Thus, Master Hongyun’s words were like speaking to a wall, meaningless to them.

And after Master Hongyun’s identity and fame spread,

more people whimsically thought to capture them and exchange them for favors from Jile Heavenly Palace.

But, of course, these attempts failed.

Master Hongyun simply took his disciples and roamed through this territory.

Not just once did they encounter and narrowly escape the pursuit and blockade of Jile Heavenly Palace’s men.

“To be honest, until now, I still find the actions of Jile Heavenly Palace’s people unexpected and baffling,”

Master Hongyun said with a furrowed brow:

“They keep saying that I captured their Vice Palace Master.

“How peculiar and odd indeed! Everyone around me is within sight, even if someone was truly captured, there’s nowhere to hide them.

“Moreover, I came here with the intent to convert, not to capture… this matter truly confuses me greatly.”

Su Mo pondered for a while, but decided to let Master Hongyun remain puzzled for now.

The matter of the Phoenix Alliance hasn’t been settled yet.

It really wasn’t his place to speak at this moment.

And that wrapped up Master Hongyun’s words for the moment.

Afterward came several confrontations with Jile Heavenly Palace, eventually leading them, duped by villagers, to Jifen Mountain.

Being rescued by Su Mo, the essentials were already widely known.

Listening to this, Su Mo pondered slightly: “Master, forgive my bluntness, but your current approach here seems like trying to douse a wildfire with a cup of water.”

Master Hongyun sighed, “I’m well aware…

“This place is difficult to change, but I can’t just stand by and watch them fall deeper into this dire strait.

“This situation, isn’t it similar to being in Fronthell?

“If I hadn’t seen it myself, I would definitely not believe that such a place exists in this world.”

Su Mo nodded, not just Master Hongyun;

Even Su Mo, who had long heard about the stark differences between lands controlled by the Demon Sect and those governed by the Righteous,

was surprised by these realities.

Then he contemplated a bit and asked, “What are your plans going forward, Master?”

“Ah… after this battle, I’ve realized that we must not rush this matter.

“The current plan is to construct a Hongyun Temple outside Tianqu City and gradually convert the evil people of the Demon Sect.”

“Very wise,” Su Mo immediately nodded upon hearing this: “Tianqu City is home to various strong sects from Dongcheng. Even the Demon Sect wouldn’t dare to attack rashly.

“And since the Master is intent on subduing demons and converting beings in Dongcheng.
