The memory of the villain was exposed and the heroine begged me for forgiveness

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head and, like everyone else, did not dare to breathe.

They did not have as deep a relationship with Jiang Zhige as Nangong Rou and the other three girls. The crime of almost killing Jiang Zhige in the Zhengyang Temple was enough to implicate ten of their clans to Lingchi's death.

Zhou Qi, in particular, had to be kind to Jiang Zhige to avoid death.

Now that he has come to Bailulin to ask Jiang Zhige to come out of seclusion, it can no longer be described simply as "shameless".

However, the heaven was about to be destroyed, and everyone was really desperate, so they dared to risk being killed in anger and came to Bailu Forest to ask for Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige's face was expressionless and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. He looked at the many familiar faces in Zhengyang Temple one by one, tapping his fingers on the stone table without saying a word.

At this moment, Bailu Forest was extremely silent.

The group of people were sweating profusely and could even hear each other's heartbeats.

The fingers tapping on the stone table symbolized that Jiang Zhige was thinking, and every tap hit everyone's hearts like a drum.

Jiang Zhige still cares about the common people, and the world of heaven still has a chance to breathe.

If the bet is wrong, none of the dozen or so people present may survive.

After a long time, Jiang Zhige suddenly said: "Do you think that I, Jiang Zhige, am a weak and deceitful puppet who can only sacrifice himself for others?"

Without any substantive pressure, just a sentence that was bone-chilling and cold, instantly made everyone present feel like they were falling into the abyss, and their souls were out of their minds.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhige was still not happy to see them.

Jiang Zhige's expression was grim. His previous thinking was not about whether he should leave seclusion to save the world, but about whether to kill these people.

All of them are sanctimonious, but how many of them really care about the dawn of life?

They are afraid of death themselves and their tribesmen being killed by monsters, rather than worrying about the billions of creatures in the heavens.

A group of people came to Bailu Forest together, not risking their lives to seek help from Jiang Zhige, but holding the banner of 'righteousness' in an attempt to force Jiang Zhige to come out of seclusion to save the world.

"Emperor, Lord, please calm down. We have no other thoughts, only for the sake of the common people..."

When they came here, everyone had already prepared to die, but when they faced Jiang Zhige, even though they had not yet felt the threat of death, they still couldn't help but feel their livers and gallbladders bursting.

Don't talk about them, Zhou Qi, who is from Xuan Cang's old tribe, is also a godless man and does not dare to utter a single word of advice.

Just as the atmosphere was solidifying, Ning Qiushui suddenly said in a cold voice: "If you don't talk about the common people, how can you ask to see the emperor?"

Zhou Qi's group looked slightly sluggish when they heard this. Their attention was all on Jiang Zhige, and only now did they realize that Ning Qiushui was also there.

Not Nangong Rou, not Mo Ziyan, not Su Qingqiu, but Ning Qiushui?

Zhou Qi was the first to react and hurriedly kowtowed again: "Forgive me for being stupid, please bow to the Emperor and the Empress!"

"Kowtow to the Queen!"

"Kowtow to the Queen!"

Jiang Zhige's face stiffened slightly. His relationship with Ning Qiushui was indeed unusual, but his identity had not yet been officially confirmed.

Just when Jiang Zhige was about to explain, he was interrupted by Ning Qiushui's look.

Although Jiang Zhige felt helpless when he saw this, he still chose to acquiesce.

Ning Qiushui coughed twice and continued with a straight face: "You should understand that after the Zhengyang Temple incident, the people who are least qualified to persuade the emperor to leave seclusion are you."

"Empress and Empress, we know that our crimes deserve death, but in fact, we really cannot bear the suffering of the common people..."

Zhou Qi sighed in his heart, no one expected that Ning Qiushui would be the one accompanying Jiang Zhige in the end.

With Su Qingqiu's character, he would never let another woman take second place, and would not even tolerate Jiang Zhige having an affair with an ordinary woman. Ning Qiushui was at best an imperial concubine.

However, neither Ning Qiushui nor Jiang Zhige refuted the title of "Empress". Are Ning Qiushui's methods powerful?

Not only did she stay with Jiang Zhige, she even succeeded in squeezing out other women and truly monopolizing Jiang Zhige.

In fact, Ning Qiushui had no ability and would not force Su Qingqiu and the girls away. This was purely Jiang Zhige's own fault.

"The crime deserves death? I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are using the excuse of common people to pray for the emperor's protection."

Ning Qiushui had a straight face, and although her words were cold, no one could feel the coldness.

Zhou Qi also saw that Ning Qiushui wanted to help them.

Everyone secretly looked at Jiang Zhige. After confirming that Jiang Zhige did not refute, some people raised their heads one after another.

"Empress and Empress, we sinners know that even death cannot atone for our sins."

"I am going to die today, just asking the emperor to come out and save the world!"

Except for a few people, most people did not hesitate at all. They gathered spiritual power in their palms to destroy their lives and souls.

They did not seek to atone for their sins, but only sought to make Jiang Zhige feel moved.

Jiang Zhige looked cold and had no intention of stopping him.

However, just when the life soul was about to be destroyed, Jiang Zhige suddenly released a powerful force that instantly immobilized everyone.

Jiang Zhige flicked out the aura in everyone's hands and said calmly: "If you die, you can't atone for your sins. Who have you to ask me to come out of seclusion?"

Although this group of people going to their deaths failed to move him, he still saw some sincerity.

Many people are seeking refuge in sanctimonious ways, but some, like Zhou Qi, are really thinking about the common people.

Ning Qiushui was not surprised at all, and pretended to sigh: "Azhi, their lives are not worthy of justice, but this sincerity..."

With today's move, she not only helped Zhou Qi and his party, she also had some intention of persuading Jiang Zhige.

Compared to the incomparable majestic Emperor Xuan Cang, Ning Qiushui still prefers the innocent-hearted Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige shook his head and did not answer.

He had no obligation to save the common people, especially after the Zhengyang Temple incident. He didn't get angry and kill everyone just to show mercy. He really didn't want to sacrifice himself for the so-called sentient beings.

Ning Qiushui looked calm on the surface, looked at Zhou Qi and his group and said seriously: "The emperor has made up his mind. If you dare to disturb the emperor in the future, you will be responsible for the consequences."

"Thank you, Emperor, for not killing me."

While Zhou Qi and the others were grateful to Ning Qiushui, they felt even more desolate in their hearts.

If Ning Qiushui's help could not persuade Jiang Zhige, who else could make Jiang Zhige change his mind?

After everyone left, Ning Qiushui turned to look at Jiang Zhige and sighed helplessly: "Azhi, now you are the only hope for the whole world, and even all the worlds in the world. You really want to sit back and watch hundreds of millions of living beings being tortured.

?"

It would be okay for someone else to choose to be alone, but Jiang Zhige was different.

He is the Lord of a Realm, known as the Supreme Being with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and shoulders the prayers and hopes of hundreds of millions of living beings.

It’s not that he can save the common people or not, but that only he can save the common people.

"Qiu Shui, I can save the people, but who can save me?"

Jiang Zhige sighed sadly and struggled to get rid of the shackles of affection. How could he be bound by the dawn of life again?

Everyone is praying that Emperor Xuan Cang will show up to save him, but no one remembers that Jiang Zhige is just one of the common people in the world without taking off his cloak as the Lord of a Realm.
