96: Chapter 96 People are not divided into good and evil, but into righteous and demonic.
Hearing Yang Bai's words, the cultivators who had previously held prejudices against each other instantly felt incredibly ashamed.
In their view, in the eyes of an existence of Yang Bai's level, there was no such thing as a distinction between righteous and demonic. Yet they, these small fries, had displeased Yang Bai over such trivial rules.
Zhang Zhijie lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to say anything more.
By comparison, Zhu Shengxu was like a petty person who had achieved success, nodding incessantly with a sycophantic expression on his face.
Yang Bai placed his hand on Zhang Zhijie's shoulder and comforted him in a gentle tone:
"You have cultivated on the Universal Continent for over a hundred years. You might still be a bit unaccustomed to your first entry into White Jade Capital and haven't shifted this narrow-minded thinking."
"I do not blame you. I will not blame you now, nor will I reproach you in the future. In my view, you are simply having trouble adjusting to the environment."
"For the next period of time, I will lead others to the Star Sea World. You should communicate and talk properly; there is no grudge or hatred that cannot be resolved."
"During this time, I allow you to kill each other, just consider it settling the grievances between the righteous and demonic paths once and for all."
Having said this, Yang Bai smiled slightly, patted Zhang Zhijie's shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Zhang Zhijie, I am telling you this not to target you, nor to target the righteous path."
"People are not divided into righteous and demonic, but they are divided into good and evil. You are a person I value, and I hope you can, like Chu Gehang and Mu Ziyu, take on the heavy responsibilities of White Jade Capital and actively guide people toward goodness."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhijie showed an expression of astonishment. He could not believe that the Immortal Monarch's breadth of mind was so vast.
Not only did he not reproach him, but he also entrusted him with such an important responsibility.
If one were to compare [White Jade Capital] to a school.
Then Chu Gehang would be the vice-principal, Mu Ziyu would be the action planning director, and he himself would be at the level of a [Moral Education] dean.
Zhang Zhijie had a serious expression. He cupped his hands and said respectfully: "I, Zhang Zhijie, will definitely strictly follow the Immortal Monarch's teachings."
Yang Bai nodded, looked at Zhu Shengxu, and said earnestly:
"Zhu Shengxu, as for you, I don't care if you go outside to kill, set fires, burn, kill, and loot, but you must not harm your own brothers."
"Otherwise, hehe, I don't think you would want to hear the consequences."
Zhu Shengxu's expression shifted, and he said respectfully:
"Immortal Monarch, I don't like hearing you say that. From now on, [White Jade Capital] is my home, and the cultivators of [White Jade Capital] are my own flesh and blood brothers."
"In a fight, I will be the first to charge; during a retreat, I will be the last to leave. Righteousness comes first, and loyalty is paramount. I will certainly offer every drop of my blood for [White Jade Capital]."
Yang Bai patted Zhu Shengxu's shoulder and laughed: "Hahaha, you kid, I like you."
After resolving the dispute between the righteous and demonic cultivators, Yang Bai cast his gaze toward the veteran cultivators of White Jade Capital.
Noticing Yang Bai's gaze, this group of people immediately knelt on one knee, waiting for Yang Bai's orders.
"Uh, there's no need for this between us."
Yang Bai shook his head. He hoped that the relationship between himself and his dependents would develop toward friendship and brotherhood, but regardless, these cultivators all revered him and recognized him as the boss.
"Forget it, Mu Ziyu!" Yang Bai called out.
"I await your arrangements, Immortal Monarch." Mu Ziyu said earnestly.
Yang Bai threw out a stack of documents and said earnestly: "You take people, lie in ambush at the places I have marked, and then strike directly. Kill all the alien races mentioned, but do not touch the cargo."
Mu Ziyu took the documents, quickly memorized the information on them, and replied: "I will strictly follow the Immortal's order."
"Chen Jianfeng, Zhou Yanlie, Chu Gehang, Ying Sha, Peng Hao, Feng Yeli."
As Yang Bai's voice fell, six figures quickly appeared before Yang Bai, waiting for the latter's orders.
"This time, you six will follow my external incarnation, and all actions must follow instructions." Yang Bai said earnestly.
"I will strictly follow the Immortal's order."
Chen Jianfeng and Zhou Yanlie said respectfully.
The other four had happy expressions on their faces. They had not expected that Yang Bai would actually take them along this time, so they quickly replied as well.
"That is Chen Jianfeng; the [gengjin sword Immortal] truly has an extraordinary bearing."
"I am also from Yanyu Pavilion. I didn't expect the Young Pavilion Master to actually be here. I feel like he has become much stronger."
"Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Feng is a role model for us demonic cultivators. I never expected this."
...
As for the cultivators who had just teleported over, they stood there, looking at this group of cultivators who shone on the Universal Continent, with expressions of curiosity on their faces.
After arranging the work, Yang Bai tapped his finger into the void, and a huge spatial rift appeared above White Jade Capital.
The moment they saw the spatial rift, Zhang Zhijie and Zhu Shengxu subconsciously entered a combat state.
"You should calm down properly in White Jade Capital, shift your thinking, and by the way, take a look at the environment of White Jade Capital. When the time comes, the fights that need to be fought, and the Immortal Fate that needs to be taken, will not be lacking for you."
Yang Bai smiled, then pointed to the sky and said: "Sword rise, let's go!"
One hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators flew through the air and rushed into the spatial rift.
Following the departure of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Yang Bai's body flashed and he directly disappeared from the spot. He needed to quickly return to the real world, take out the Star Sea Hub, and connect it to the virtual pioneering body on [Magnet Lan Star].
After everyone had left, only the 400 newly arrived cultivators remained in White Jade Capital, staring at each other blankly.
Several purple lightning bolts emerged from Zhang Zhijie's palm, vaporizing all the snot and tears that Zhu Shengxu had left on his hand.
Zhu Shengxu quickly stepped back, his face nervous as he said: "Wait, Celestial Master Zhang, you want to make a move just after the Immortal Monarch left? Aren't you being too arrogant?"
Zhang Zhijie waved his hand, sighed heavily, and then said to the crowd behind him:
"Fellow Daoists, as you have seen, we have abandoned the path of reincarnation of the Universal Continent and entered the supreme immortal realm, [White Jade Capital]. We are no longer cultivators of the Universal Continent, but pioneers of the human cultivators above the Universal Continent."
"Let those past unpleasantries dissipate from here on."
Having said this, Zhang Zhijie extended his hand toward Zhu Shengxu and said: "Although I really don't want to say this, but, Brother Zhu, can I make friends with you?"
"Oh my god, Brother Zhang, you are being too polite."
"I just said, we are brothers from different fathers and different mothers. Friends? Let's hurry and find a place with good feng shui, kill a chicken, burn some paper, and swear brotherhood directly."
Zhu Shengxu grabbed Zhang Zhijie's hand and hugged him directly, saying eagerly.
But after hugging for two seconds, Zhu Shengxu felt a chill behind his back, and his scalp felt a bit numb.
Zhu Shengxu scratched his head and said speechlessly: "What's the situation? Is the aftereffect of the Immortal Venerable's might kicking in?"
Zhang Zhijie's eyes flashed with Zixiao Divine Thunder, his expression looking as ugly as if he had eaten shit, "Sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting to the environment."
