Chapter 1539

Gu Chen only gave them the time it took for an incense stick to burn. This time was insignificant to him, but it was enough to change the fate of the 455 cultivators from the Chi County.

The cultivators of Chi County had lost their original dream of becoming a dragon. Gu Chen's threat to give up Lei County had shaken many of them.

Nine hundred cultivators were imprisoned together. They were having an intense discussion about where they should go from here on out.

"The Tyrant wants to give up the hard-won Lei County. This can't be real. It's just a test, right?"

The rogue cultivators who were obsessed with power were still thinking about it. In their opinion, few people could really let go of such a huge benefit of Lei County.

"Yes, this should be a test. The Tyrant just wants to make sure if we are sincere."

Someone echoed. They had made up their mind that this was a test. They gathered in twos and threes, ready to take part in the assessment of the Tyrant County.

Such people occupied the majority of the cultivators of Chi County. However, there were also a small number of people who could tell from the words and deeds of the Tyrant and his gang that the idea of giving up Lei County was not just for show.

Moreover, they were making their own choice according to their own will.

"Damn it, the Tyrant and his gang are so despicable. After using us, they turned their backs on us!"

Green Ghost said indignantly. Flying Sickle, Ruan Zuo Shi, Elder Xiao and the others were all around him.

His indignation did not attract the others' sympathy. At this time, most of his companions were in deep thought and looked solemn.

"Ruan Zuo Shi, Elder Xiao, why don't you say anything? Don't you think the Tyrant has gone too far? He's looking down on us! "

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Green Ghost said sadly.

"He's indeed looking down on us. If he can kill a Dao Lord, why would he care about us rogue cultivators?" Flying Sickle shook his head and said dejectedly.

"But no matter what, we have helped him. It's too much for him to burn the bridge after crossing the river." Green Ghost held his breath and argued.

"Did we really help him?"

Ruan Yuhuan glanced at Green Ghost and asked.

Green Ghost immediately stopped talking and his face was a little red.

"Xiao Haimei is a spy of Lei County. This is something we never thought of. Everyone saw how Chi Mo died with their own eyes. Let me ask you, if Tyrant and his people weren't there at that time, would we have a way to live? "

Ruan Yuhuan sighed softly. "We have to face the reality. In fact, it was the Tyrant who saved us. We were only forced by the situation to surrender to him. How can we be treated differently by him?"

Green Ghost knew that Ruan Yuhuan was right, so he lowered his head in annoyance. But now, we either have to participate in the Tyrant County's assessment or be restricted. He doesn't intend to give us freedom at all! "

Freedom was a precious thing for itinerant cultivators.

If it weren't for the fact that they cared about freedom, it wouldn't be difficult for many of the people present to join any of the major forces with their cultivation bases.

"When you decided to attend Chi Mo's birth ceremony, weren't you already prepared to sacrifice a part of your freedom? Now that the Chi Mo has been replaced by the Overlord, you're already concerned about this? "

Ruan Yuhuan shook her head helplessly. Green Ghost was one of the more simple-minded ones among them. Most of them were concerned about whether the Tyrant was really going to give up Lei County, but he was still brooding over the previous conflict.

He didn't understand the ways of the world. Even if he entered the Tyrant County, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold.

Green Ghost completely lost his temper after hearing Ruan Yuhuan's words. Ruan Yuhuan analyzed the situation with her companions.

"Now, the Tyrant only gave us two choices. As for what he said earlier about giving up Lei County, I think it should be true."

"Although he killed Thunder Dao Lord, it's easier to conquer a country than to defend it. He should have decided to give up because of this consideration."

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

They weren't stupid. They wouldn't be like the others who still fantasized about sharing the victory of Lei County.

"What we need to consider now is the prospects and benefits of joining the Tyrant County. As long as the potential benefits are greater than the costs, we can participate in this assessment."

Ruan Yuhuan pointed out, and her companions immediately asked. "Then what do you think of the Tyrant County's prospects?"

"The Tyrant killed Thunder Dao Lord. Although luck played a part in this, don't forget that he hasn't reached the Dao Severing Realm yet. It's unheard of for a Dao Severing Realm cultivator to kill a Dao Severing Realm cultivator. Without a doubt, as long as he doesn't die in the future, he will definitely become a powerhouse in the Chaos Sea! "

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

"However, it's precisely because the Tyrant is too powerful that he attracts the wind that the Dao Lords of the Hundred Counties are wary of and hostile toward him. The Tyrant said that joining the Tyrant County might lead to countless bloodshed. This is definitely not an exaggeration. "

"If we join the Tyrant County and become the Tyrant who rules over the world in the future, we will definitely make contributions. However, it's also very likely that we will die in battle along the way."

As Ruan Yuhuan spoke, she frowned.

Risks and benefits coexisted, but it seemed like the risk was greater. This was really a difficult choice.

"In that case, what should we choose, Left Emissary Ruan?"

The other cultivators also asked, feeling conflicted. They could roughly understand the pros and cons, but they were still hesitant, which was why they needed others to give them advice.

Ruan Yuhuan was the most conflicted person. Seeing that she couldn't make up her mind, she couldn't help but look at Elder Xiao.

"Elder Xiao, what do you think?"

Elder Xiao didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. He must have his own opinion.

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

The birth of the Chi Demon turned out to be a scam, which had a great impact on his heart.

The Tyrant's rise like a comet and killing the Thunder Dao Lord was even more shocking to him.

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

He didn't care so much about the interests of the Thunder County. He was already old, and to be able to have the faith in his heart aroused like now, making him want to do something with all his might like a young man, was more precious to him than anything else.

He could see that this group of people had their own beliefs, and their beliefs and willpower deeply attracted him.

On the other hand, Ruan Yuhuan and the others were still living in the narrow thinking of itinerant cultivators from the beginning to the end. Everything was measured by pros and cons. He was tired of such people.

"Left Emissary Ruan, everyone, the Old Man has made up his mind to follow the Tyrant. Before I leave, I have some words from the bottom of my heart to tell you. "

After all, they were friends, and he would try his best to give them some advice. Elder Xiao sighed.

"I wonder what advice you have for me, Elder Xiao?" Ruan Yuhuan asked eagerly.

"It's difficult to integrate into the Tyrant County and get the approval of that man if you're too selfish."
