Chapter 907 Not Acceptable

On a calm but unusually wide river, a large ship was floating slowly among the waves.

The ship clearly had tall masts, but no sails or flags. Although the hull was spacious, the decoration was extremely low-key, only painted with natural tung oil, even worse than ordinary merchant ships or even pirate ships.

On the deck, a young woman was leaning on the side of the boat, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes staring in a trance at the waves of the river.

"Saint..."

A burly old man in a cloak came onto the deck, came to the girl and called out softly.

"Priest Calling to Heaven." The saint girl bowed her head gently, with an expression that still showed an indelible sadness. She did not restrain this expression at all when facing the old man in front of her, as if she was deliberately showing it to him.

"Why, you still can't figure it out?"

The Saint sighed and said, "Should I have figured it out? Actually, intellectually, I have figured it out. I know why the Haotian Priest made such a decision, and I also know that it is actually very good to have the opportunity to unite with the human world now. We are going back to ask for help. But emotionally, I cannot accept it. I am very sad."

Hu Tian nodded. He was not surprised that the Saint said such a thing. Joining forces with humans and trying to separate the two worlds was a high-level secret. Only he and Hao Tian knew about it. He would also tell the Sword Saint leaders over there. Even the Saint did not know. She only knew that she and her group were going to negotiate peace and seek help. In other words, they were going to actively bow their heads.

So it's not just the saint, there are too many people who oppose it both inside and outside, and even on this ship there are many voices of opposition.

"You can't accept it emotionally? I thought you were against it because you thought there was little hope intellectually, but emotionally you were willing to reconcile with humans. After all, you are still close to humans."

The saint shook her head and said, "I really don't hate humans. I even admire their courage and wisdom. I don't think they are worse than us. I even hope that one day everyone will put aside their prejudices and sit down to talk and build a lasting peace. But what I have always imagined is that when we are at the gates of the city, they will realize that it is meaningless to resist stubbornly and put aside their prejudices and surrender. And I will try my best to persuade those priests and warriors who advocate war to lay down their weapons, have a peaceful dialogue with humans, and give humans space to survive. Only then can everyone live in true peace. It's not like this, like this..."

"In this way, we have to beg for peace. This is not right."

"Ugh……"

Hu Tian sighed silently. The Saint was actually no different from most of the war advocates. Her stance and views were no different. The reason why she was willing to negotiate peace was not out of rational judgment and foresight, but because she was gentle by nature and felt that fighting was bad. She was willing to give humans a way out. This was also a kind of contempt, and in essence, she looked down on humans.

Once she realized that she was not strong enough to crush the other side and even had to ask for help from the other side, she, like the other young people, could not accept it.

This is the opposite of Hu Tian. Hu Tian is also seen as a pro-human faction, but his pro-humanity is completely utilitarian. He believes that there are too many internal conflicts that have not been resolved, and a long-term war is harmful and useless. The development of humanity is really fierce. Instead of waiting for a thunderstorm on his side and being completely defeated by the other side, it is better to make peace when he has gained an advantage and the other side cannot see through his weakness. He can retreat to stabilize the country and plan for the future. When the future is over, he will decide whether to resist the foreign aggression.

If it was really as the saint imagined, the army of the spiritual world was at the gates of the city and the other side went out of the city to surrender, then Hu Tian would not only not be a pro-human faction, but instead the biggest hardliner, the first one to support the extermination of all humans.

It's a pity that he is a real minority. There may be one or two people similar to him among the older generation, but there are really none among the younger generation.

Not to mention the young people who stayed in the spirit world, the young people in the spirit world who were able to go to the human world to see it with their own eyes were completely flattered by the people of the Holy Moon Sect and were at a loss as to what to do. They believed that most of the people in the human world were slaves who worshipped the spirit world, and a few diehards, and that it would be easy to conquer that place.

Speaking of which, Hu Tian thought that the Holy Moon Cult was really abominable. They seemed to be spies from the human world, but in fact they were a gathering of the despicable scum of the human world, which seriously distorted young people's judgment of the human world.

Hu Tian even thought that they might have been sent by the human world to act as sovereigns in order to deceive the senses of the spirit world, distort the cognition of the spirit world beings, and make them complacent so that they could develop in seclusion.

Damn, are you still playing this big game?

Next time I see the scum of the Holy Moon Cult, I will kill them all to vent my anger.

The Saint whispered, "I won't tell you whether it's acceptable or not. Can we go there? How can they agree? If it's just a humiliation for nothing, I'm willing to endure it, but many young people can't accept it."

Hu Tian was about to explain to her that he was already prepared and had an offer that the other party could not refuse, so the success rate was not small. Suddenly, he had an idea and lowered his voice, but said in a very stern tone: "Saint, what do you know? Are there any disobedient brats who want to take action?"

The Saint was slightly shocked and said, "Ah, no, actually..."

The Hutian priest said more confidently: "Do they want to kill me? If so, they are making a wrong decision. These are young people who don't know their place. I don't need them anyway. I just put them in the delegation to strengthen its momentum. If they don't behave themselves, then there is no need for them. I can complete the mission alone."

The Saint said hurriedly: "No, how could it be possible? They would not touch you even if they wanted to. How could they turn their guns against their own people?"

Priest Hu Tian snorted, "So you want to intercept and kill the human messengers who come to pick us up, and even want to enter their base camp to cause trouble? Well, it would be better for them to intercept and kill me. At least I won't kill them easily. If they get over there, what chance will they win with their abilities? If they are caught and want to be killed, I can't even plead for mercy for the sake of the greater plan--" With a "bang", a flash of light shot through the deck from the bottom of the ship and shot towards Hu Tian at lightning speed!

By the time Hu Tian noticed it, the flash of light had already passed through the deck and was only body-size away from him, making it almost impossible to avoid. Hu Tian held his breath and fell backwards, barely avoiding this fatal attack. However, the light pierced through the sole of his foot, leaving a hole.

The deck was covered with blood.

Hu Tian felt pain and suddenly jumped up, floating in the air. A huge transparent shield had been erected around him, surrounding him tightly.

  He glanced at the Saint in mid-air, thinking: Didn't you say you wouldn't kill me? Or was this all a lie to reassure me, or was your holding me back part of your plan?

But then he saw the saint panicking, and Hu Tian calmed down a little: It seems that she didn't do it on purpose. Yes, if she did it on purpose, wouldn't it be better not to mention that someone was ready to do something? Since it was mentioned, it was unintentional.

It seems that the saint doesn't know the truth either.

Come to think of it, the Saint's personality is probably the most unsuitable to be an accomplice in planning big things. She is soft-hearted and hesitant, so she should not be asked to do anything that requires brutal fighting.

At this moment, the hatch opened and a group of young demons rushed out, each of them wearing helmets and armor, fully armed, and surrounded the deck.

One of them, a young demon with a turban on his head and an extremely ferocious face, stepped forward and pointed at the priest Hu Tian and said, "Old thief, wake up!"

When the Heaven-Calling Priest saw this scene, he felt more helpless than angry and was too lazy to argue with them. At this time, the Saint shouted, "Knight Lan Gao, how could you do such a thing?"

It turns out that this Lan Gao is one of the Saint's guard knights and can be considered a trusted confidant of the Saint. Unfortunately, it seems now that he is not that trusted.

The Blue Knight's face flushed, and he said, "Saint, don't worry about what's going on here! I know you don't want to do this, and you're on our side. After we kill the old thief, you lead us to turn the ship around and fight back to kill those traitors and spineless people who betrayed the spirit world. Let's fight for the world together!"

The Saint was furious and shouted, "Who is on your side? You are treasonous for doing such a thing! Put down your weapons now, it is not too late to repent!"

The Blue Knight shook his head and said, "Saint, you are not a thief, but you are too weak. That's why you were forced by them and dared not resist. In this case, I will resist you as well. Kill the old thief——"

Hu Tian shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Lan Gao said: "It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

Hu Tian shook his head and said, "I'm not begging for mercy, I just want to ask you, is there any room for further consideration? You should have noticed that the current situation is very difficult..."

Lan Gao shouted, "Shut up! The situation is so bad, isn't it you old guys who gave orders that caused it? You made the situation worse, and then you used the bad situation to threaten everyone, selling us all to the barbarians. It's simply outrageous! It's too late to beg for mercy now. Although begging for mercy from us is better than begging for mercy from the barbarians, we will not forgive you!"

Hu Tian sighed: "So there is no way to communicate? In that case, you guys go--"

Before he could utter the word "die", he suddenly felt a familiar force pressing down on him. His expression changed, and he grabbed the saint and her body flew into the air.

The next moment, it was as if a green bomb was thrown at the bottom of the boat. Countless green muds exploded from the bottom of the water and covered the boat's boards. In the time it took everyone a moment to think, the green had covered the entire boat and the entire board.

Most of the young people who remained on the deck had already sunk into the green mud before they could react.

Once you stepped on that kind of mud, or even if it touched your skin a little, it would be like being stuck in quicksand moving at a hundred times the speed and unable to extricate yourself. In almost the blink of an eye, your entire body would be covered in green mud and mixed with those green mud balls, unable to be separated anymore.

  Only a few strong men like the Blue High Knight reacted. They jumped up and used various means to stay in the air. However, if they stayed in the air a little too low, they would be stained by the splashing green juice and their whole bodies would quickly turn green!

Such a huge mission ship was turned into green food in the blink of an eye and ceased to exist.

As for the "rebellion of the lower classes overthrown" that had almost overturned the situation, it naturally disappeared into thin air.

The saint was brought by Hu Tian to a high altitude and saw this scene, and she almost cried.

Hu Tian's eyes were red with anger as he stared at the demon attackers that had crawled out of the green mud, and he shouted, "Evil God—you're looking for death!"
