Zhu Ziqi is kind-hearted and may not think too deeply about people's hearts, but people's hearts really can't stand the test.
Not sure if all of their companions died in the end, Yunze couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I feel sorry for Zhu Ziqi and others.
Able to find a way out of despair, even without fear of life and death. People like this are really rare.
Just when Yunze was thinking a lot, among the city guards on the opposite side, a city guard at the peak of Guixu Realm looked coldly at the more than a thousand imprisoned practitioners in front of him, and said with cold eyes:
"You may be very curious as to why I have gathered you here. Some of you should know what is going on. Now I am telling you that if you want to survive, you must hand Zhu Ziqi over."
"Of course, if anyone can provide clues, I will give him a chance to live, but...if anyone shields Zhu Ziqi, don't blame me for being ruthless..."
Having said this, he waved behind him, and soon, several city guards came up with more than a dozen people. These people were all old and weak, women and children, the least of whom were only four or five years old.
The rest looked like they were either very old or extremely weak and were about to die at any time.
These people were obviously tortured, and they seemed to have suffered a lot. The body has long been overwhelmed.
After all, after entering Xiling City, under the banned cultivation level, there is not much food supply in the city, as long as you don't starve to death. No matter how hungry you are, it doesn't matter.
Sometimes, for a little food, there may even be fights and suicides among each other.
Of course, there are also cases where the city guards are negligent. If people starve to death due to the city guards' negligence, it is not impossible. After all, the people imprisoned in the city are actually no different from the dead in the eyes of the city guards.
These people in front of me are obviously the ones suffering from hunger. Looking at these people, the thousands of practitioners had complicated expressions. Someone's eyes were filled with pity. There are also people with faces full of sympathy.
After all, almost everyone present had the same fate as them. And these dozen people belong to Zhu Ziqi's courtyard. However, Zhu Ziqi did not let them participate in the action.
Because, in the state of these people, they can't help at all. But because of the reason why their affairs were exposed. These people are now the scapegoats.
"Did you see them? They are with Zhu Ziqi. Now, I will let you see the fate of those who are friends with Zhu Ziqi... Come here, prepare for execution!"
The city guard at the peak of Guixu Realm looked at everyone coldly and waved to the city guard behind him. Soon, more than a dozen city guards lined up a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of everyone.
It seemed that the city guard commander was preparing to kill a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of everyone. He used the method of killing chickens and honoring monkeys to force the people in front of him to reveal the whereabouts of Zhu Ziqi.
After all, Zhu Ziqi must have interacted with people in the surrounding courtyards. He has not been caught yet. The most likely possibility is that someone is helping him. Otherwise, Zhu Ziqi would not have been able to evade arrest.
"Grandma, Shiyao is afraid..." At this time, among the dozen or so people, the little girl grabbed the hand of an old woman next to her, her eyes full of fear and terror.
The trembling expression and the helplessness in the beautiful big eyes all struck the hearts of the thousands of people in front of him.
"Don't be afraid, Shiyao. Grandma is with you, and aunts and uncles are with you... We won't be alone on the road. It's just a pity, we can't wait for the Zixiao Thunder God! Alas..."
The old woman beside her gently stroked the little girl's head and said with a loving voice.
"Grandma, is the Zixiao Thunder God really powerful? You have always said that he will come to save us, but now, why hasn't he come yet... Are we going to die..."
The little girl looked at the old woman with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of hope. When the people around him heard this, hope surged in their eyes.
However, the eyes of the dozen or so people who were detained there were full of bitterness and unwillingness. They had been expecting the Zixiao Thunder God to rescue them, but in the end, they still did not arrive.
Everyone in Xiling City now knows Zixiao Thundergod, and everyone is full of hope for Zixiao Thundergod. But now it seems that Zixiao Thunder God is afraid that he will never come.
Especially in the eyes of these desperate people, it would be great if Zixiao Thunder God could appear out of thin air at this time and save everyone.
Just after the conversation between the two ended, the commander of the city guard at the peak of the Guixu Realm on the side said with contempt and sarcasm in his eyes:
"You are still thinking that Zixiao Thunder God will come to save you. How naive... Haha... If Zixiao Thunder God dares to come, I am afraid that this Xiling City will be his burial place. Moreover, even if he comes, You will never see any hope, because you will definitely die in front of him!"
While laughing wildly, he looked at the city guards and said coldly: "Get ready for execution..."
Following his voice, a dozen city guards standing behind those people all raised their swords. They actually prepared to behead someone in front of everyone.
Looking at the knives they raised, everyone's eyes were filled with despair. But no one asked for mercy. They just looked at the city guard commander angrily.
"Hmph... Zixiao Thunder God will definitely come. Grandma said that he will never give up on us. Shiyao believes that he will definitely come. He will save everyone in the city."
The little girl looked at the city guard. Although she was still scared, she seemed to be full of anger at the commander of the city guard for slandering the light in her heart.
The dozen or so people accompanying the little girl also looked at the city guard commander angrily.
"Yes, we all believe that Master Zixiao Thunder God will definitely come. Even if we can't see it, we believe that he will not give up on any of us..."
"Everyone, let's take the first step. You must not give up..."
"That's right, Zixiao Thunder God and the people of the Anti-Enemy Alliance will never give up on us. They have rescued countless of our compatriots... Everyone... don't give up hope..."
At this time, they looked at the thousands of human beings who were held in front, and their voices were full of hope. Everyone knew that the city guard commander wanted to destroy everyone's only hope.
But even if they die, these people don't want the hope in their hearts to be tarnished. This is their only hope in these difficult days.
Even if he can't see it anymore, he hopes that others can keep this hope in their hearts and live strong.
Seeing this scene, the city guard commander had a look of anger in his eyes, and he shouted coldly: "Hmph... Then I will let you see if your Zixiao Thunder God will come to save you... Execute me!"
Following his voice, all the city guards raised their swords and prepared to chop down. Seeing this, everyone present couldn't bear to look at it.
Most of them want to save people, but in their current state, it is impossible for them to save people, and even if they do, they can't save them.
Just before his eyes, the city guard's sword was about to be chopped off. Everyone turned their heads to the side... and couldn't help but sigh.
