Chapter 307: Acceptance
Sun Heng asked the white-clothed guards to inform the other sub-bases of the Great Enlightenment Sect of Li Chenggang's death in advance, not only to prevent Long Que and other Li Chenggang's close friends from taking advantage of loopholes, but also to give the leaders of these sub-bases a time to consider and choose.
Ye Zhen, as the farthest sub-base from Xintatecheng, was naturally the latest to get the news of Li Chenggang's death.
In the first half a year of the end of the world, Peng Qi had seen a lot of death, but he never thought that he would receive the news of Li Chenggang's death one day.
It's not that he thinks Li Chenggang can't die, but according to his understanding of Li Chenggang, Li Chenggang wants to live, and it is difficult for others to let him die - Li Chenggang has never been a person who likes to put himself in danger.
Therefore, Peng Qi believes that if Li Chenggang really dies one day, then the Great Enlightenment Sect will definitely dissipate one step ahead of him, and he, as one of the three protectors of the Great Enlightenment Sect, is very likely to die in front of the sect leader.
However, the fact is that the Great Enlightenment Sect is fine, and suddenly someone came to tell him that Li Chenggang was killed in the headquarters of the Great Enlightenment Sect.
If it weren't for Peng Qi's acquaintance with the white-clothed guards who had summoned the interrogation and asked him repeatedly, he would definitely think that this was someone who was so idle that he was joking with him.
But since it's not a joke, then he has to face the reality and make his own choice - whether to join the Shili Town base with Sun Heng, or to defect to the Shouchun military?
As for being the boss himself, Peng Qi didn't think about it.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but as the actual ruler of Ye Zhen in the past six months, he knows how difficult it is to be the boss of tens of thousands of people in the last days. And he is not the kind of person who is very ambitious, he just wants to live longer and be more comfortable in the last days, that's all.
Whether it was the Shouchun military or the Shili Town base, Peng Qi didn't know about it, so it was really a difficult choice for him.
Whenever he was entangled, Peng Qi hated Sun Heng even more - why did he kill Li Chenggang? Why destabilize the Great Enlightenment?
However, if he was asked to lead people to resist Sun Heng because of this, he still wouldn't dare.
As the person who followed Li Chenggang in the early days, and one of the few people closest to Li Chenggang in the strength of the Great Enlightenment Sect, Peng Qi knew very well how strong Li Chenggang was, and Sun Heng was able to kill Li Chenggang without injury in the headquarters of the Great Enlightenment Sect, which was not something he could compete with at all.
He even privately guessed that Sun Heng had already reached level four, and his combat strength might reach level five!
Even Sun Heng has the means to disguise himself as someone else!
That's amazing.
Besides, the dead are gone, and the living have to continue to live. Even for a powerful awakened person like him, it is not easy to get to the present in the last days, and he doesn't want to go to death for Li Chenggang's kindness that doesn't actually exist.
Therefore, although he was still entangled in his heart about how to choose, Peng Qi did not shirk the preparations for arranging the reception of the survivors of the migration of Xintate.
But he didn't bother Sun Heng, except for asking Ye Zhen to prepare enough rooms, hot water, and food, everything in the town was as usual. Even in order to avoid chaos in the city, the news of Li Chenggang's death was blocked by him.
At noon, more than 4,000 people who migrated from Xintatecheng (plus those from Liji Town) entered Yezhen, and Peng Qi also saw Sun Heng again in the apse of Maitreya Buddhist Temple.
At this time, Peng Qi was already clear about Sun Heng's identity, and he did not ask Sun Heng why he killed Li Chenggang like those managers in Xintate, but said: "Camp Commander Sun, in these last days, everyone is a human being, not to mention helping each other, but we shouldn't hurt each other, right?" You killed Sect Leader Li, but you put 100,000 people in danger of our Great Enlightenment Sect. ”
Sun Heng's face said indifferently: "Danger is also opportunity, why don't you say that without Li Chenggang and without the shackles of the Great Enlightenment Sect, these little 100,000 people can live more freely and better in the last days?" ”
Hearing this, Peng Qi was dumbfounded for a while.
As a high-level member of the Great Enlightenment Sect, Peng Qi naturally knew that if Li Chenggang simply wanted to unite more people to survive in the last days, there was no need to establish a religion at all, and he could use whatever name he wanted.
But in fact, before the end of the world was fully revealed, Li Chenggang secretly established the Great Enlightenment Sect, vigorously spread his own religious ideas, and accepted believers.
If it weren't for the end of the world, Li Chenggang would not have been able to escape the title of a cult leader, and he would even be charged with crimes such as endangering national security.
From a large level, Sun Heng's elimination of Li Chenggang is indeed a harm.
It's just that it's rare to be able to survive hard in the last days, is freedom really that important?
Peng Qi was puzzled, he didn't know why Sun Heng thought so far, and he was so "nosy".
Is it just because Sun Heng himself is powerful?
Peng Qi was confused here, but Sun Heng didn't mean to entangle with him more. The reason why he came to Yezhen with people who were willing to follow him was because he was sure to subdue Peng Qi and occupy the good place of Yezhen.
So Sun Heng got straight to the point and said: "Protector Peng, I know that although your strength has reached the early stage of the third level now, the actual realm is only the late stage of the second level. If you are willing to join our Ten Mile Town base, I guarantee that you will be promoted to level 3 within a month, and you will be provided with far more cultivation resources in the future than you have now. ”
"Promoted to level 3 in a month?" Peng Qi looked at Sun Heng in surprise, thinking, even Li Chenggang wouldn't dare to make this guarantee, right?
But he was really moved.
If you want to live longer and more comfortable in the last days, your own strength is undoubtedly the best guarantee. Moreover, when he reached his realm, even if he didn't know as much about awakening and cultivation information as Sun Heng, he vaguely felt that as his strength became stronger and stronger, the benefits that the awakened person would get were by no means as simple as an increase in combat power. Not to mention becoming a Buddha and an ancestor as Li Chenggang dreamed of, but prolonging life is never a problem.
"What are the conditions?" Peng Qi immediately asked.
Sun Heng said: "Didn't I say, join the Shili Town base." ”
"It's as simple as that?" Peng Qi couldn't believe it, under the influence of Li Chenggang, he felt that even if Sun Heng was not as ambitious as Li Chenggang, shouldn't he have any requirements such as "only obeying him" or "secretly supporting him"?
Could it be that the young man in front of him is really selfless?
"It's as simple as that."
Hearing this answer, he stared at Sun Heng for more than ten seconds, and Peng Qi realized: It's not that Sun Heng is selfless, but that he can't look down on his current strength, right?
Thinking of this, Peng Qi's heart suddenly became complicated.
At this time, Sun Heng said again: "In order to show sincerity, these three bottles of red marrow brewed Peng Protector can be accepted first to see if it is beneficial to the improvement of one's own strength." ”
As he spoke, Sun Heng took out three small glass bottles containing crimson liquid and handed them to Peng Qi.
Peng Qi had not only heard of the treasure of red marrow brewing, which was beneficial to improving his strength, but also took it, but at that time, he only got the equivalent amount that Sun Heng was giving now, and this was the case, which directly allowed him to enter the middle stage of the second level of the Dao from the early stage of the second level. Therefore, he knew very well the preciousness of red pith brewing, but it was precisely because of this that he was even more surprised by Sun Heng's generosity.
Originally, he was still a little skeptical that Sun Heng's promise to help him be promoted to the third level in January was a blank promise, but now this suspicion has dissipated a lot at once.
Peng Qi is not a person who likes to be entangled, seeing Sun Heng's sincerity, he immediately stopped hesitating, put away three small bottles of red pith brew, and said with a wry smile: "Camp Commander Sun is so sincere, I don't know what to do if I hesitate." Peng Qi was willing to join the Shili Town base and obey the dispatch of Camp Commander Sun. ”
