Chapter 1522: They came just by smelling the scent

In Yu Ming's view, these cultivators were likely a group of rogue cultivators from who knows where.

Just like his former self, they were relying on the hot blood in their hearts, wanting to change everything in Haoyang Prefecture.

It was a pity that in his eyes, this was merely a futile effort.

Why did the Heishan Ghost King want to slaughter all the cultivators in Haoyang Prefecture?

To put it bluntly, it was to clear out hidden dangers. Without cultivators, leaving behind a group of ordinary people without cultivation, there was simply no possibility of resistance.

As for a group of rogue cultivators wanting to overthrow the Heishan Ghost King, it was simply wishful thinking, just like his former self.

Thinking of this, Yu Ming couldn't help but give another self-deprecating smile.

Too naive; how could the affairs of this world change because of one person's thoughts?

He waved his hand, and the old servant, seeing this, respectfully exited the hall.

But not long after, a commotion came from outside.

"How can you force your way in?"

"There's no other way, is there? Alright, even if I explain, you wouldn't understand. We will go see the Governor ourselves."

As the voice came, a group of hundreds of young men and women strode in. As for the old servant, although he tried his best to stop them, how could he be a match for the crowd?

In the end, the others stood in the courtyard to wait, while only Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie strode into the hall.

"My lord, I..."

The old servant said with a helpless expression. Hearing this, Yu Ming did not blame him, but looked at Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie.

"The two of you insist on seeing me; what is the matter?"

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes at first; after all, although Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie were dressed plainly, their temperaments were extremely extraordinary, and one look told him they were not ordinary people.

However, such a glow was merely a flash. Even if they were extraordinary, what of it? It was still not enough to contend with the Heishan Ghost King.

At such an age, unless they were disciples of a Holy Land, they would not be the Heishan Ghost King's match.

Moreover, under the Heishan Ghost King, there were numerous evil spirits; how could a few hundred young cultivators contend with them?

Facing Yu Ming's inquiry, Xu Jie did not beat around the bush.

"I heard that the Prefecture Governor's beloved daughter is getting married, so we came specifically to help."

Hearing this, Yu Ming was stunned, then shook his head.

"I appreciate the kindness, but young friends, please return. This is my daughter's fate; there is no need to sacrifice yourselves in vain."

Convinced that Zhao Zhengping and the others could not help him, Xu Jie said directly.

"What if we could save your beloved daughter's life?"

Hmm???

Hearing this, before Yu Ming could speak, the Lady beside him spoke first.

"Is what you say true?"

Xu Jie nodded and then briefly explained the plan.

Hearing that this group actually wanted to disguise themselves as his daughter to take her place in the marriage, Yu Ming and his wife were stunned.

However, this was indeed a method; then Yu Ming would have time to send his beloved daughter away from Haoyang Prefecture to a safe place.

It was just...

Looking at Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie with complex eyes, if they did this, their lives would likely be hard to preserve.

Once they reached the Heishan Ghost King's lair, if they were exposed, it would be certain death with no possibility of escape.

Although he desperately wanted to save his daughter, after some hesitation, Yu Ming firmly shook his head and refused.

"Thank you all, but I am afraid I cannot comply."

The Lady beside him, seeing this, opened her mouth but said nothing more in the end. She loved her daughter dearly, but she could not trade others' lives for her daughter's.

Yu Ming and his wife were indeed kind-hearted people, but this move of theirs left Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping completely speechless.

Xu Jie said with a speechless expression.

"I said, did you not hear clearly what I said?"

"Naturally, I heard clearly."

"Then why do you still refuse me? I can save your daughter."

"I know."

"You know, and yet..."

"It is precisely because of this that I cannot agree. I do indeed want to save my daughter, but I absolutely cannot sacrifice others' lives for it, especially when it is to save only my daughter at the cost of so many people." ===== CHAPTER 1523 =====
