Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1445

Then, when he spoke the second sentence, the first half of it was spoken by an elderly woman, but the second half was spoken by a lightly dressed man.

This kind of speech, which makes it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, male and female, is an ability possessed only by the White Lotus Master within the White Lotus Sect.

In other words, the person standing in front of him, shrouded in a black cloak, is very likely the mysterious leader of the White Lotus Cult.

"It's over, it's actually Master Bai Lian! He even came all this way to find us. We're probably doomed this time!"

Just as Master Zheng was silently lamenting, the mysterious person, who seemed to be the White Lotus Immortal, slowly stepped into the house.

As he slowly stepped forward, that voice, so distinct as to be neither male nor female, once again reached Master Zheng's ears.

"Tens of thousands of devout followers of the Qingyang branch died because of you. You live a carefree life in the capital, but have you ever heard the wails of their wronged souls?"

"Have you ever thought that one day retribution will come knocking, washing away the sins of those innocent souls you have killed!"

Master Zheng sat silently in his wheelchair, watching Master Bailian warily. After a moment of silence, he tentatively asked a question.

"You are... the White Lotus Immortal?"

"hehe!"

The black-robed man, who was suspected to be the White Lotus Immortal, did not respond to Master Zheng's question, but simply chuckled.

But he didn't stop walking; he had already passed Master Zheng and was right behind him.

If it were someone else with two crippled legs, they wouldn't be able to see behind them, but Master Zheng was different; he had Wei Wu as his lord.

At first, Master Zheng used a wooden wheelchair, which was not only heavy and inconvenient, but also required someone to push him around.

But later, Cao Cao specially sent him a wheelchair from later generations, which allowed him to move or turn around with just a little effort.

So, as the man in black robes walked up behind him, Master Zheng pushed the wheels on both sides with both hands, changing the direction of the wheelchair.

After the two locked eyes again, the man in black robes let out another chilling laugh.

"Heh, is this what you got by following Wei Wu? But I remember your legs, it seems he was the one who crippled them!"

"To betray the Holy Church that treated you like a child, yet to worship the one who crippled you for life as a god—it's truly laughable!"

To be honest, Master Zheng still doesn't know what Master Bailian's purpose is in coming here, but he is certain that it is definitely not to kill anyone.

Otherwise, there's no need to waste time talking to him; just show yourself, explain your purpose, and take your own life.

If he's saying all this to himself now, there's only one possibility: he's using language to exert pressure in order to achieve some kind of goal.

Of course, based on the limited information available at present, this guess may not be accurate, so further testing is needed.

So after the man in black finished speaking, Master Zheng did not choose to beat around the bush and probe, but asked directly.

"What brings you here, sir?"

While this method isn't the best option, given the current situation, it's certainly the most time-efficient.

Because the other party is a madman from the White Lotus Sect, and possibly the leader of that group of madmen, no one knows what he might do.

The only way to survive is to use the most direct method and extract the most information in the shortest amount of time.

However, just as Master Zheng was thinking this, the black-robed man who resembled the White Lotus Immortal suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before Master Zheng could react, he felt a tightness around his neck, and then his body was lifted into the air.

Then, under Master Zheng's terrified gaze, the man in black slowly spoke a sentence.

"You pride yourself on your intelligence, why don't you guess what my purpose is in coming here today!"

Although he knew that the White Lotus Cult members were all madmen, Master Zheng really didn't expect that this person would actually attack without warning.

Completely without any rules or warnings, as if treating one's own life like a toy.

With my neck compressed, a feeling of suffocation instantly rushed to my brain, and it lasted for about ten seconds.

Master Zheng gripped the other man's wrists with both hands, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pry the other man's hands open even an inch.

As time passed, the feeling of suffocation intensified, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, just when Master Zheng thought he was doomed to die, he heard the voice of the man in black robes again.

"Tens of thousands of believers died tragically, and your sins are beyond reproach. However, you are still the children of the Mother Goddess and should be punished by her."

"Therefore, I am not unwilling to give you a chance to atone for your sins and allow you to return to the Holy Church to redeem yourself!"

Just as Master Zheng's consciousness was becoming hazy, he heard the man in black robes say these words, and then his neck was loosened.

Having narrowly escaped death, Master Zheng, now free, immediately opened his mouth and greedily inhaled every breath of oxygen.

It wasn't until several dozen seconds later that he finally broke free from the suffocating feeling and looked at the man in black robes with fear in his eyes.

Just then, the man in black robes spoke again.

"Of course, if you remain stubbornly unrepentant, then I will have no choice but to personally send you back to your vacuum homeland!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zheng understood that this guy really did want to use him for something.

The previous verbal intimidation and threats to life were all for this purpose, and the methods used were not particularly sophisticated.

However, the situation was beyond his control, and under the other party's pressure, Master Zheng could only respond in accordance with their words.

"My Lord, how can I atone for my sins?"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing Master Zheng's change in address, Master Bailian nodded in satisfaction and then continued:

"It's very simple. Since you betrayed the Holy Church and sided with Wei Wu, you should use Wei Wu's head as a sacrifice to return to the Holy Church."

Although he already had a guess in his mind, when he actually heard the other party say it, Master Zheng's expression still became serious.

On the other side, when Bai Lian Zhenren saw the expression on his face, she grabbed his cheek without saying a word.

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem very willing. In that case, I'll do you a favor and lend you a hand!"

As they were talking, Master Bailian immediately made his move!
