Gu Chen only gave the time for one stick of incense, which was insignificant to him, but it was enough to change the fate of a lifetime for the nine hundred Chijun monks present.

The monks in Chijun had lost their dream of being a dragon, and Gu Chen threatened to abandon Leijun, which made many people's hearts sway.

Nine hundred monks were imprisoned together, and there was a heated discussion about where to go.

"The Overlord wants to give up the hard-won Lei County. This should not be true. It's just used to test us, right?"

Loose cultivators who fantasize about power and power are still thinking about it. From their point of view, few people can really let go in the face of Lei County's huge interests.

"Yes, this should be just a test. Overlord just wants to make sure we really follow."

Some people echoed, making up their minds that this is a test, they gathered together in twos and threes, gearing up to participate in the Ba County assessment.

Such people accounted for the majority of the monks in Chijun, but there were also a small number of them. From the words and deeds of Bawang and his group, they could see that the idea of ​​abandoning Leijun was definitely not just talk.

And, following their will, they are making choices.

"Damn it, Bawang and his gang are really despicable. After using us, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone!"

Qing Gui said angrily, Fei Lian, Ruan Zuo Shi, Xiao Lao and others were all around him.

The indignation on his face did not arouse everyone's sympathy. At this moment, most of his companions were deep in thought with serious expressions on their faces.

"Ruan Zuoshi, Xiao Lao, why don't you say anything, that Overlord, don't you think it's too much? You simply don't take us seriously!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the green ghost said sadly.

"People really don't pay attention to us. People who can kill Daojun, why should they care about our group of casual cultivators?" Fei Lian shook his head and said dejectedly.

"But we've helped him no matter what. It's too much for him to cross the river and destroy the bridge." Qing Gui argued with a choked breath.

"Did we really help him?"

Ruan Yuhuan glanced at Qing Gui and asked back.

The green ghost fell silent immediately, his face was a little hot.

"Xiao Haimei is Lei Jun's undercover agent. This is something we never would have imagined. You all saw how Chi Mo died. If Bawang and his people were not present at that time, would our group of people have a way to survive?"

Ruan Yuhuan sighed softly, "We must recognize the reality. In fact, Bawang and his gang saved us. We surrendered to him only because of the situation. How can we get him to treat us differently?"

Qing Gui knew that Ruan Yuhuan was right, and lowered his head angrily. "But now, either to participate in the assessment of Ba County, or to be banned, he doesn't intend to give us freedom at all!"

Freedom is invaluable for casual cultivators.

If you don't care about freedom, with the cultivation of many people present, it is not difficult to join a big force at will.

"When you decided to participate in Chi Mo's birth ceremony, weren't you ready to sacrifice part of your freedom? Now it's just that Chi Mo has become the Overlord, so you care about that?"

Ruan Yuhuan shook his head helplessly. Among the crowd, Qinggui was relatively simple-minded. Most people were concerned about whether the Overlord really wanted to give up Lei County, but he was still brooding over his past grievances.

Such a ignorant of the world, even if he enters Ba County, it may be difficult to gain a firm foothold.

The green ghost lost his temper completely by Ruan Yuhuan's words, and Ruan Yuhuan analyzed the situation with his companions.

"Bawang only gives us two choices now. Regarding what he said earlier about giving up Lei County, I think it should be true."

"Although he killed Daoist Lei, it is easier to fight the country than to defend the country. He should have decided to give up out of this consideration."

Ruan Yuhuan's words made sense, and everyone nodded their heads.

They are not stupid, they will not have the illusion of sharing the results of Lei County like everyone else.

"What we need to consider now is the prospect of joining Ba County and the benefits we can get. As long as the potential benefits outweigh the sacrifices, we can participate in this assessment."

Ruan Yuhuan pointed out, and the companions beside him immediately asked. "According to Ruan Zuoshi, what is the future of Ba County?"

"The Overlord's killing of Dao Lord Lei certainly had an element of luck, but don't forget that he has not been in the Dao Slashing Realm, so he killed Dao Slashing Realm with the Dao Dao Realm, which is unprecedented. There is no doubt that as long as he does not die in the future, he must be a giant in the Chaos Sea!"

Ruan Yuhuan first affirmed Gu Chen's ability and strength, which made everyone's heart warm.

"However, just because the Bawang is too evil, the so-called big tree attracts the wind, which will inevitably arouse the fear and hostility of the Taoist monarchs of all counties. The Bawang said that joining the Ba County may face countless bloody storms. This is definitely not an exaggeration."

"Join Bajun, and when the Bawang reigns in the world in the future, we must have the merits of following the dragon, but there is also a very high possibility that we will die on the way."

Ruan Yuhuan frowned while talking.

Risks and benefits coexist, but it seems that the risk is greater, which is really an embarrassing choice.

"Then Ruan Zuoshi, how should we choose?"

The other monks also asked in confusion. In fact, they can roughly figure out the pros and cons, but they are still hesitant in their hearts, so they need other people's opinions.

Ruan Yuhuan herself was the most entangled person, seeing that she couldn't make up her mind after talking about it, she couldn't help but look at Elder Xiao who was beside her.

"Old Xiao, what do you think?"

Elder Xiao stayed silent from beginning to end, presumably he had his own opinion.

Elder Xiao looked at Ruan Yuhuan and the others who were constantly weighing the pros and cons, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Chi Mo's birth turned out to be a hoax, which had a great impact on his heart.

And the overlord rising like a comet to kill Lei Daojun shocked his heart even more.

After that, there was an uncontrollable emotion in his heart that made him feel impulsive, making him want to follow that man.

He doesn't care much about the interests of Lei Jun and the like. He is old and old. To be able to inspire his beliefs like now and want to do something like a young man is more precious to him than anything else. .

He could see that those people had their own beliefs, and the beliefs and will of those people deeply attracted him.

On the other hand, Ruan Yuhuan and others, they are still living in the narrow thinking of loose cultivators from beginning to end, and they weigh everything by pros and cons. He is already tired of such people.

"Ruan Zuo envoy, everyone, this old man has made up his mind to follow the Overlord. Before leaving, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

After all, if you are a friend, you can mention as much as you can, Old Xiao sighed.

"I don't know what advice Elder Xiao has?" Ruan Yuhuan asked urgently.

"It's too selfish, it's hard to integrate into Bajun, and it's hard to get that man's approval."

After finishing speaking, Elder Xiao left straight away, and stopped when he passed by the depressed Qinggui.
