Chapter 105 If I Don't Go To Hell, Who Will

At dawn, Lee Nianzu meditation all night, waiting for the return of King Chono and the Xians. He slowly opened his eyes, and a shadow blocked his face. He saw King Chono standing before him.

Lee Nianzu slowly got up and said, "You're back."

King Chono smiled and said, "I'm glad to see you're still here, unless I'm going to kill all those Xians and your so-called brothers."

Lee Nianzu said, "I have already told you that I am a person who keeps my word."

King Chono waved his hand, and many Xians stepped forward. "Remove their chains," he said.

Lee Nianzu said, "These are all the captured Xian?"

King Chono said, "These are the Xians who decided to leave."

Lee Nianzu said, "This is not our agreement."

King Chono said angrily, "What do you want me to do? Drive them out?"

Lee Nianzu asked, "What's the reason for their stay?"

King Chono said wildly, "How would I know? Why don't you ask them?" He pointed to the mountain standing behind him.

Lee Nianzu said, "If they want to leave in the future, will you let them go?"

King Chono sneered in disbelief, "You are incredible." He approached Lee Nianzu. "I'm also a man of my word."

More than three hundred Xian walked to Lee Nianzu. Lee Nianzu looked at them and said, "You can go. Go over there, your people are waiting for you."

The Xian who had been enslaved for most of their lives hesitated to move forward, afraid of walking into the unknown, but they decided to walk away slowly. They knew in their hearts that an unknown future was better than being enslaved by Mountaineer people. The old took the young by the hand and followed each other, running towards the forest they once called home.

Captain Khang rushed forward and rushed towards King Chono and Lee Nianzu. He shouted loudly, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

King Chono said, "Let the slaves go."

Captain Khang said madly, "Let the slaves go, have you discussed this with King Altan?"

King Chono scoffed, "What does this have to do with him?" He turned to face Captain Kang. "Remember the land we are in, the ruler is not Altan, but Chono..."

Advisor Chu said, "Captain Khang, his Highness is right."

Captain Khang grins angrily at King Chono. "Do what you want," he said frantically. He turned, jumped on his horse, and rode away.

After the group of hunters and Xians had waited long enough, Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Prepare to fight." He looked at Wan. "Let's go."

Gen smiled at Wan and said, "Be careful."

Wan smiled at her husband and walked to Guozhao Zhiqiang. A large group of people were walking towards them. Chuju hurriedly ran in front of Guozhao Zhiqiang and Wan.

One of the women rushed forward as soon as she saw Chuju. She shouted loudly, "Chuju!" She waved her hand.

Chuju ran forward and hugged the woman tightly in her arms. She cried and said, "Niao, I didn't expect to see you again." She kissed the woman's forehead.

Niao cried in Chuju's arms, "Me too."

Chuju asked, "How did you escape?"

Niao said, "King Chono ordered the release of all of us."

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "Did you see a man wearing red and white?"

Niao said, "He was the one who told us to walk this way."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Chuju, Wang and I are going to get Nianzu, you take your people back."

Chuju nodded. She said, "Everyone hurry up." She turned to Niao. "Is this everyone?"

Niao shook her head and said, "Some have decided not to come because they have family."

Guozhao Zhiqiang and Wan approached Lee Nianzu and King Chono. King Chono looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang angrily. King Chono hurriedly stood beside Lee Nianzu.

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Lee Nianzu and said, "Nianzu, I'll take you back."

King Chono pointed his spear at Guozhao Zhiqiang, "If you dare, I will order the whole army to kill them all."

Lee Nianzu lowered down King Chono's spear and said, "Senior brother, since King Chono kept his promise, I decided to stay, and I should keep my promise. Senior brother, please know that no matter where I am, I will always live according to the principle of Guozhao."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "I promised others that I will take you back."

Lee Nianzu said, "No matter how many times senior brother approached me, I will never leave King Chono's side until he tells me."

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "Why?"

Lee Nianzu said with a smile, "I guess it is the same reason as senior brother's decision to help the Xians."

Guozhao Zhiqiang cupped his hands and bowed to Lee Nianzu. "Thank you for your sacrifice," he said.

Lee Nianzu smiled and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will be willing to go." He cupped his hands. "Take care and go home safely."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Call me when you need me."

King Chono turned around and put his left arm on Lee Nianzu's chest. He pushed lee Nianzu back and said, "Enough goodbye."

King Chono took Lee Nianzu's hand to the back of the horse and picked Lee Nianzu onto the horse like a child. Then he jumped on the same horse and sat behind Lee Nianzu.

King Chono ordered, "Retreat."

Guozhao Zhiqiang watched King Chono and his men pulling away from Green Forest from a distance. He looked at Wan and said, "Let's go."

Wan asked, "Boss, should we just let Nianzu go?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "If Nianzu has made up his mind, it is really difficult to change." Guozhao Zhiqiang walked ahead of Wan.

By the time Guozhao Zhiqiang and Wan returned to the group of hunters, most of the Xian people had already walked towards the border. When Deming, who was waiting with the hunters, saw Guozhao Zhiqiang approaching, he rushed towards Guozhao Zhiqiang.

Yu Lei said, "That fox is very strange." He looked at his brothers. "Does everyone agree?"

Zheng Yaozu said, "I think so too."

Tam Kun said, "Everyone keep an eye on that fox." He turned to Tam Liang. "There is no animal as dangerous as this white fox."

Wan, who was next to Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Boss, that celestial fox has taken a fancy to you, it's so fond of you for unknown reasons."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Wan, how much do you know about celestial fox?"

Wan said, "I don't know much, I only know that they are divine beasts." She looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang. "Are you going to drive it away?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "Why?"

Wan said, "Celestial foxes are rare, and the mother is very protective of their cubs. If the little guy's mother catches up, we are in danger."

Guozhao Zhiqiang watched the happy little fox rush over and circled happily around his feet. He crouched down and picked up the little fox. The little fox jumped on his left shoulder, sat down with his tail around Guozhao Zhiqiang's neck, and rested his head on Guozhao Zhiqiang's face.

Wan smiled and said, "Boss, this is too strange, I have never seen such a creature so attractive to you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said strongly, "Find a good place and release it back into the wild."

Deming looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang frantically and said, "If you dare to leave me, I will never forgive you."

Wan bursts into laughter, "Boss, he seems to understand you, he's angry with you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang reached out and patted the white fox head lightly. "If you want to stay, better control your anger," he said.

On a hot summer day, with the sun high in the early afternoon, Guozhao Zhiqiang, Deming and Wan were walking towards the hunters who were still waiting at the entrance of Green Forest.
