"Blessings from all the people are not omnipotent."
"Though the people of the Sacred Court did not act themselves, they found many desperadoes."
"They promised those desperadoes a fortune. You know, some people lived by licking blood from the edge of a blade."
"As long as the profits were great enough, they would try anything and dare to do anything."
Hearing Qiu Po's words, Yin Xu's expression turned ugly.
That was right. Blessings from all the people were not omnipotent either.
There would always be desperadoes in this world.
Even if the power of heaven and earth ultimately took revenge on those desperadoes, the people of Yinchang Kingdom would still be dead. They could not be brought back to life.
In a sense, this was a matter where both sides suffered.
The Sacred Court's experts might not act, but with them standing behind the scenes, many people would surely be willing to act in their stead.
"Senior Brother, is this because of the Buddha Kingdom?"
the Barefoot Monk asked.
"Because you wanted to make the Buddha Kingdom flourish in Yinchang Kingdom, the people of the Sacred Court could no longer sit still."
Yin Xu nodded slightly.
"It is just like Master back then."
In the past, the Buddha Kingdom had been razed to the ground with a single palm. Those events still seemed as vivid as yesterday.
"Damn it!" Yin Xu slammed his palm heavily against the table before him.
At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.
On one side was the Buddha Kingdom, his faith.
On the other, he had to be responsible for the more than one hundred thousand citizens of Yinchang Kingdom.
No matter which one he chose, it was no less painful for Yin Xu than cutting out the flesh of his own
