Chapter 976 - 980: Yellow Turban Army

"What happened?" Seeing the farmer suddenly like this, even creatures behind Wu Tian were taken aback,

the old Flood Dragon was not among them, and returned with the Flood Dragon.

The old Leopard Cat also took the Leopard Cat Clan back, and the Turtle Divine Doctor left with Yang Tian’s son,

Wu Tian drove them away,

but afraid they wouldn’t leave, Wu Tian said he would definitely seek them out for help in the future. Hearing this, they left happily.

Now seeing the farmers like this, faces of Master Li the Fortune Teller, Miaoshan, and others turned serious. It’s not just one person, but other farmers in the field were also like this, suddenly looking pained, falling to the ground and crying out.

"Unlimited Heavenly Venerable..."

Slowly, from one side of the field, a few young Taoists walked out, every step accompanied by a recitation of Taoist Scripture, faces pious, seeming truly kind-hearted,

Wu Tian and others stood quietly behind a thatched cottage, watching this scene,

"What’s happening?" The little guy asked mischievously: "Is it possible the baby’s poo stinks too much, making the father sick?"

After speaking, big eyes stared at Wu Tian: "Don’t worry, I won’t be like this."

Wu Tian: "..."

"Carefully look, I think the problem lies with these young Taoists." Wu Tian whispered.

Qin Yuhan and others focused on the field ahead,

"Little master, our stomach hurts."

"Yes, little master, quickly save us."

"Use runes, quickly use your runes to save us."

The farmers on the ground begged the young Taoists for help.

"Save my father."

"My mother, please save my mother."

The children also pleaded with those young Taoists.

"Save? Hehe, we won’t be saving you." Originally smiling kindly, the young Taoists’ faces turned sinister at this moment.

Their aura shifted from sunny big brothers to demonic figures, causing the children to look fearful.

"You guys..."

The farmers and farmwives lying in agony saw the young Taoists suddenly change, disbelief filled their pained eyes.

"You farmers, what do you live for? Just to suffer really." One of the fair-skinned young Taoists began to mock,

In the past, the words from these young Taoists sounded pleasant,

Seeing farmers they’d call "brother, sister, uncle, aunt..." When seeing peers, for males they’d say "handsome guy,"

for females they’d say "pretty lady,"

but at this moment, the young Taoists would no longer use these terms,

"You toil day in and day out, yet only barely manage to live, no extra silver."

"The rice you grow, how much can you sell it for?"

"Your worthless lives have greater value."

After exchanging a glance, the young Taoists laughed heartily, their laughter dripping with mockery.

Behind the cottage, Miaoshan sighed: "To know face, but not heart."

Qin Yuhan glanced at Wu Tian, agreeing with these words.

Wu Tian: "..."

He didn’t understand,

Why would Qin Yuhan look at him with that expression?

This didn’t make sense!

..."Why?"

"Judging by your tone, the reason we’re like this is because of you, what exactly are you up to?"

Farmers and farmwives felt themselves growing weaker and were extremely uncomfortable.

They weren’t afraid of dying, having lived long enough. They lived because to them, their body and skin were gifts from their parents,

They didn’t fear death, but worried about what would happen to their children.

"We came here, offering free talisman water to treat your illnesses, hehe, you were delighted, but do you know how such good fortune could exist in this world?"

"Indeed, those talisman waters were actually tampered with by us."

"You fell ill and we treated you, hehe, you said you wanted to repay us, inviting us to live here, but did you realize we wanted repayment not for your kindness, but for Dao Seeds."

After exchanging a glance, the young Taoists began to coldly laugh.

The Human Daoist Sect often dispatches disciples to mountain villages and cities to give free talisman water and treatment!

Many commoners believe it,

Among them, Dao Seeds have already been planted, those grown in this way naturally aren’t as powerful as those cultivated through cultivation method,

But this method triumphs by winning with quantity!

Originally, Dao Seeds should wait to burst forth naturally, but due to changes in the Bear Tribe, the Human Daoist Sect Master ordered an early harvest of Dao Seeds,

Therefore, the young Taoists could only come up with this method,

Mixing poison within the runes, killing people then cutting open and extracting Dao Seeds!!!

.....Behind the thatched cottage, Qin Yuhan, Si’er, Miaoshan, and others clenched their fists, unable to imagine the Human Daoist Sect being so ruthless?

The most shocked was Qin Yuhan,

Since in Qin Yuhan’s eyes, Taoists should embody purity and noble presence,

Who could have thought the Human Daoist Sect would be so savage?

"Have you forgotten the Yellow Turban Army?" Wu Tian patted Qin Yuhan’s shoulder, showing there was no need to worry, actually such acts by the Human Daoist Sect are not singular.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to a chaotic mess in the Imperial Court and local governance, farmers led harsh lives.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao brothers used spells and chants to heal people in Wei County. Many sick people drank his talisman water and were cured without medicine, Zhang Jiao was hailed by the people as a living immortal, and he dispatched envoys to preach outside.

As a result, the number of believers grew, reaching tens of thousands, spanning Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu provinces, covering nearly three-fourths of the country at that time.

Many people, in order to join Zhang Jiao, sold off their family assets, traveled thousands of miles eagerly, crowding to the point where the paths were impassable; it was said that more than ten thousand were trampled to death en route.

Zhang Jiao, much like the Human Daoist sect, basically had no good intentions. Whether in villages, in Earth City, or the Immortal Emperor Realm, ignorant farmers and farmwives were plenty.

They craved small benefits,

but never wondered what consequences might follow once they gained such benefits...

"Alright, can’t be bothered to waste breath with you, old men, old women, I’ll end your suffering now."

Among them, one young Taoist drew out a Peach Wood Sword,

"Living is suffering for you, let me liberate you."

"You farmers always ask how can your whole family have a better life? Hehe, actually once you’re dead and reincarnated, isn’t that good?"

The young Taoists approached the farmers and farmwives, with firm steps, and merciless gazes.

"Don’t hurt my dad."

"Don’t kill my father."

"Mom... wuwuwu....."

In the fields, there was no sound of labor as before, no laughter of family harmony, only cries from children, sighs from farmers, and the wailing of farmwives.

"How could you do such things, are you still human?" Wu Tian’s heart turned icy, but the little guy couldn’t stand it anymore, immediately rushing out.
