Chapter 907 -911 Fooling the Human Heart

Zhu Minglang was quite astonished.

He now realized that Old Man Ge had likely approached him on purpose.

While Minglang noticed that the Ancient Yao had entered this agricultural city, the Ancient Yao also sensed that a god had set its sights on it.

Indeed, it was considered the wisest among the Ancient Yaos by him.

The most dangerous place is indeed the safest.

This Ancient Yao first hiding in the Xuange Country Capital was indeed bold.

Moreover, it even voluntarily came forward to help him investigate the Yao.

In fact, there were moments when Zhu Minglang had not intended to let Old Man Ge off, suspecting him, but he played his role perfectly, dispelling many of Zhu Minglang’s doubts, especially with the phrase, “I am familiar with everyone here.”

Now thinking about it, he didn’t know anyone at all.

He told him about each of the farm households, which he had just made up on the spot. Without a face-to-face confrontation, his lies would not be exposed.

“Young man, young man…” Old Man Ge said outside in a peculiar tone.

“You acted quite convincingly, but what about that tea-brewing farmer’s wife? Is she in league with you?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Not really, but I did suggest she use the Green Rainwater to brew the tea for everyone to drink. After drinking, it was supposed to bring good luck to everyone, tsk tsk!” Old Man Ge said.

“This condition your brother has, it’s from drinking Green Rainwater, what kind of Evil Art is this?” Zhu Minglang continued to ask.

“Tea brewed with Green Rainwater is Thirst-Death Water. Those who drink Green Rainwater tea will constantly feel dry and thirsty, and no matter how much they drink, it’s useless, until they are drowned by the very water they drink,” Old Man Ge said sinisterly from outside.

“But Green Rainwater has been falling for so long, seeping into some springs and wells. I’ve also drunk quite a few good teas recently, and neither I nor other commoners exhibit these symptoms; your spell is ineffective,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Once the Green Rainwater touches the earth, it gets purified. Only when caught with pottery, bowls, or cups from falling directly from the sky does it take effect,” Old Man Ge explained.

“Quite particular, aren’t you.”

“Right, it’s that particular. So, tricking people into drinking Green Rain Tea is not an easy task. That greedy old farming woman actually helped me greatly. You like to act heroically, right? Many of the farmers in the fields drank the Green Rain Tea, and the Thirst-Death Curse will fully possess them by tonight. Now that you’re stuck here, how will you save them?” Old Man Ge posed a difficult challenge for Zhu Minglang, as if mocking him, toying with this Loose Immortal who vanquished Yaos and demons to the point of mental breakdown!

“I can only do my best. If I really can’t save them, there’s nothing I can do. ‘Man proposes but God disposes,’ have you heard this saying? Don’t worry, if they really can’t be saved, I won’t feel too guilty,” Zhu Minglang stated his mindset.

Zhu Minglang had already warned these farm households during the day that there was a Yao nearby and told them to go home and rest.

They didn’t listen and continued working in the fields. When thirsty from their labor, they drank the evil water prepared by that greedy tea-brewing farmer’s wife…

If they were to die because of this, Zhu Minglang would feel regret, but not pain.

“A True God so shameless, with moral decline. Our modern True Gods can now watch common people die with such righteousness!” Old Man Ge shouted furiously.

“I can’t break free from your divine entrapment formations, what can I do? My power is limited,” Zhu Minglang said frankly.

“Your apathetic attitude is going to bore me!” Old Man Ge remarked.

“Then what do you want, say it. You have gained the upper hand with your intelligence, but you can only trap me, nothing more,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You still want to save people, don’t you?”

“Yes, saving them would be best,” Zhu Minglang replied.

“Then let’s play a game…” Old Man Ge suggested.

“Sure,” Zhu Minglang was not in a hurry, slowly observing what tricks the Ancient Yao would play.

“My brother seems to have committed heavy sins when he was younger. I can see his heart as black as mud in a ditch. It’s fair to say, this guy is a complete villain,” Old Man Ge remarked.

Zhu Minglang glanced at Ge Cheng, who was paralyzed on the stretcher. Indeed, there were evil spirits entangling Ge Cheng, clearly indicating his past misdeeds.

However, such atrocities are for the courts to deal with.

Unless he happens across them, Zhu Minglang, as a True God, would not meddle in mortal affairs without fully understanding the causes.

“I see, he has indeed committed some evil deeds,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Tell him, if he drinks another barrel of water, he will die. He can choose to end his life now, in which case, other farm households struck by the Thirst-Death Curse will not die,” Old Man Ge said.

“If he endures the thirst and stops drinking water, then the other farm households will all die tonight from their bellies bursting with water!” Old Man Ge continued.

Zhu Minglang understood the meaning of Old man Ge.

He was manipulating people’s hearts.

Leaving the decision to a wicked person.

Either the wicked person dies, saving the surrounding farmers,

or the wicked person survives, and all the surrounding farmers must die.

Of course, the interesting part of this game was that Zhu Minglang and Ge Cheng, the one making the decision, were locked up together.

Zhu Minglang could completely intervene in this matter, forcing Ge Cheng to die to save the other farmers cursed with the Thirst-Death Curse.

This Ancient Yao, on one hand, was deceiving people, and on the other hand, it was also torturing Zhu Minglang’s moral heart.

“Don’t… don’t kill me… I have reformed, I truly have, all these years, I’ve been hardworking and honest…” Ge Cheng could naturally hear their conversation, and he knew that those who were locked inside and those outside the room were beyond his mortal understanding.

They were immortals.

“You make the decision, I won’t interfere,” Zhu Minglang told Ge Cheng.

“But I don’t want to die… I don’t even have a wife, I haven’t experienced anything, I really don’t want to die,” Ge Cheng said in pain.

“What did you do when you were young? Tell me, but don’t lie, I can see your heart,” Zhu Minglang said.

“It was unintentional, it was unintentional, my family was poor, all the money went to my elder brother for his marriage, and after he married, my sister-in-law despised me, didn’t even allow me to stay in the ancestral home, I was enraged, so I went to the city to work, to earn enough money, to stand tall and proud. I admit, what I did was despicable, inciting some vain girls to mingle with rich young masters. One day, my niece came to the city, and I saw she was just like my sister-in-law – a social climber. Thinking of how they bullied me, I introduced my niece to a God’s Descendant, but I didn’t force anything, it was consensual, little did I know that God’s Descendant was a heartless lunatic, and he killed my niece… After that, I came back here, farmed, and never did anything to harm justice and morality again, and I also tried to make amends with my brother and sister-in-law,” Ge Cheng said breathlessly, his skin severely dehydrated.

“Which God’s Descendant?” Zhu Minglang raised an eyebrow and asked.

Mortal affairs, Zhu Minglang did not like to intervene much, but when it involved a God’s Descendant… that was within his authority!

Unexpectedly, this could fish out a degenerate.

“Now… now he is a True God, he… he is Divine God,” Ge Cheng stammered.

About ten years ago, Divine God was still just a God’s Descendant, and even belonged to the Xuange God Country.

Now, Divine God had set up his own sect and had carved out a world of his own.

Divine God was clearly from the Xuange God sect.

He had always had a good reputation, and Zhu Minglang did not have a deep impression of him, but it wasn’t a bad one either.

Unexpectedly, Divine God turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Of course, whether this affair was truly Divine God’s doing, Zhu Minglang still had to verify.

One couldn’t simply take Ge Cheng’s word for it.

Ge Cheng was a mortal, and the fact that he could interact with a God’s Descendant was somewhat dubious.

“Hehe, turns out there’s so much resentment and grudges within a little family,” Old man Ge let out a strange laugh, “So it was you who caused the death of my innocent daughter!”

“It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, it was that God’s Descendant, it really wasn’t me!” Ge Cheng said in extreme panic.

“But you’re no saint yourself, after all this kind of business, how could you not know it would harm so many naive girls?” Old man Ge said with a smile.

“Well said,” Zhu Minglang nodded repeatedly.

Saying it was consensual.

How could such a thing be clean? It merely provided a convenient excuse to ease one’s conscience, but harming others is still harming others!

Knowing someone was wandering in confusion about ending their own life, and you handed them a knife, they used that knife to stab themselves to death, you say it doesn’t concern you?

“I… I really have been atoning, please, give me a way out, because of this, I’ve borne nearly twenty years of suffering, every penny I made I also donated to the gods, twenty years have passed, I feel I can finally be free, I think I’ve completed my atonement, I want to start anew, please give me this opportunity, the two great immortals!” Ge Cheng pleaded.

“Whether a person has repented, how can time tell that? Look, I’m giving you a chance for redemption. Now, drink the last bucket of water and die right here, save the other villagers cursed with the Thirst-Death Curse like you. Wouldn’t this prove that you have indeed reformed, and become a good person…” Old man Ge, possessed by the Ancient Yao, was quite the manipulator with his words.

“But… but I will die!” Ge Cheng cried out.

“In your next life, just be a good person, it’s the same. You’ve redeemed yourself, you won’t suffer the tortures of hell below, and you can be reborn into a decent family, maybe even a wealthy family, how great is that. The True God beside you can assure you, you reincarnate into a good family,” said Old man Ge, possessed by the Ancient Yao, his manipulative skills were quite elaborate.
