Chapter 719: Get to know the captives in depth, and see that they are kindhearted. Give them a chanc
At the same time, they also realized that this struggle has just begun and there will be more challenges waiting for them in the future. Li Mohan still wants to explore the deeper reasons.
He asked the captives, besides being afraid of being discovered by the organization, what other reasons were there that made them insist on returning to Prince Jiayang and continue to be employed by him?
Although this is a good idea, Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan can plant many spies on the enemy side.
However, if so many dark wizards returned, they would certainly be fully utilized by Prince Jiayang, and they would certainly do a lot of harm to the people. Therefore, he did not want to let all of them go back to the mountains.
These dark wizards stammered as they spoke of their predicament, because they had no industry of their own, nor a stable income, and relied on the many powerful people who hired them to provide them with supplies.
Prince Jiayang was able to provide them with a stable supply of materials and monthly payments, which forced them to rely on Prince Jiayang.
Li Mohan frowned and thought to himself: "So that's how it is. These people chose to return to Prince Jiayang just to survive." He knew that in order to solve this problem, he had to fundamentally change the living conditions of these people.
So that was the problem. Xiao Yunyan assured them that as long as they stopped doing evil, devoted themselves to cultivation, and sincerely stopped being enemies with Beichuan, they would not be short of spiritual energy and daily necessities.
When these dark wizards heard Xiao Yunyan's promise, they cried with joy.
They said: "Originally we wanted to take a bright path, hoping to be appreciated by Prince Duan Jingjing and Princess Duan Jing.
But we all practiced evil magic, so we didn't dare to contact you two easily. Later, by chance, Qin Zheng, who claimed to be the prime minister of Beichuan, invited us to help him.
Later, we found out that we had become your enemies by mistake. We had no way to move forward or backward. So we could only listen to Qin Zheng's constant preaching of his ideas.
We also witnessed with our own eyes that many highly skilled mages joined Qin Zheng's rebellion organization. The organization continued to grow. So, we got deeper and deeper into it."
They cried as they spoke, expressing their grievances and helplessness. They continued:
“However, after repeated failures, we became discouraged, and Qin Zheng sent us to the second prince’s fiefdom.
The second prince was ambitious and saw that we all had special abilities, so he treated us with great courtesy at first and respected us very much.
During that period, there were constant rewards. Every time he completed a mission to extort money from the people, or went to war with the opponents of the Second Prince and won, he would receive a generous reward of silver.
So at that time, we were all a little inflated, thinking that perhaps the Second Emperor, with the assistance of Qin Zheng and the help of many heroes in the world, would definitely overthrow the Beichuan royal power and rebuild a new dynasty.
Later, several mysterious wizards came and declared that if we worked together, we could unlock the mysterious power under the seal and the whole world would belong to us. So at that time, we really made a mistake.
However, the seal of the mysterious power was guarded by the black python and the cultivators, so it had not been broken. The mages were seriously injured.
Not only that, later on, many cultivators and even more mysterious forces emerged and wiped out nearly half of our organization’s members.
The remaining members were all low- and middle-level mages who had hidden their identities within the organization. There were also some high-level mages who had managed to escape by using life-saving tricks during the fight.
Originally, members of our Mage Organization wanted to stop fighting and no longer wanted to participate in these power struggles.
But because of what we did, it became a means for Qin Zheng and the Second Prince to threaten us.
Qin Zheng told our leader that if we didn't want to help them anymore, we would not only not get supplies and rewards, but would also be hunted down by both sides.
The Second Prince has many talented people under his command. We mages belong to different organizations and are not of the same mind.
If we choose not to obey the orders of the Second Prince and Qin Zheng, we will be in trouble on both sides.
They threatened our organization that if we dared to go our own way, the final outcome would be very tragic. Either we would be eliminated by the righteous cultivators, or we would be cannibalized by other organizations supporting the Second Prince.
We were also forced to do so. We knew that the road ahead was very dangerous, but we had no choice but to grit our teeth and move forward. During this period, we helped the evildoers and did a lot of weird things.
Originally, we sadly believed that one day, we would not be able to escape the punishment of being annihilated by the army of justice.
Unexpectedly, our capture today is a new turning point for us towards light.
If from now on, we can become subordinates of Prince Duanjing and Princess Duanjing, we will be willing to do so.
After experiencing so many life-and-death trials, we have all let it go. Whether we are valued or not, whether we can get a generous reward or not, it is not very important. At least from now on, we don’t have to live in fear anymore.”
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan looked at these people with true feelings in their eyes, and they thought the same in their hearts. Therefore, the couple decided to give them a chance to reform.
Send someone to follow and observe their true behavior temporarily. Although they practiced very unconventional magic. However, magic is evil when used to harm good people. If it is used to punish evil people, it is a punishment for evil people. Evil magic can also have unexpected effects when used properly.
Li Mohan was more concerned about another more important issue. He confirmed again: "We can help you solve the problem of supplies, but how do you solve the problem of your organization's leader?"
These dark wizards were also caught in a dilemma. On one hand, there was a bright future of cultivation; on the other hand, they were ordered by the leader of the organization to do evil deeds with those ambitious people that could cost them their heads at any time. They wanted to choose the former, but they didn't dare to offend the leader of the organization.
An older dark wizard expressed his opinion that he thought it would be better not to tell the wizard organization on his side for the time being, as they had already defected to Prince Duanjing and the Princess.
When Prince Jiayang is hit again and the leader of the organization feels that Prince Jiayang is as unreliable as the Second Prince, we will go and persuade him. By then, the facts will be in front of us, which should make the leader of the organization no longer insist on his own way, and maybe he will give up that unrealistic delusion. "
The dark wizard explained why the leader of their organization had always supported the Second Prince and Prince Jiayang. It was because both of them promised that after they ascended the throne, they would make the leader of their wizard organization the national master.
The leader of the organization also wanted to use the power of the two to expand the scale of the organization. He was also a very ambitious person.
It's just that the leaders of the organization don't have that much wealth, nor do they have a respectable status. So, for the time being, they can only rely on those ambitious princes and crown princes.
In this case, let's follow the wishes of these surrendered dark wizards and allow them to return to the organization for the time being.
Although it is a bit risky, it is also for the purpose of actually investigating whether these surrendered dark wizards really want to change their appearance and return to the road of light?
Xiao Yunyan could have used a special poison to control them, forcing them to obey orders regardless of whether they had changed their minds. However, that would have been meaningless. It would have been simpler to just kill these mages and send their souls to hell.
However, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan are both kind-hearted people who cannot bear to easily kill people with conscience.
What's more, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan conducted in-depth research into the previous cultivation paths of these dark wizards.
The process of practicing evil arts is full of hardships and dangers. They need to face the temptation of darkness and the erosion of evil thoughts. Every practice is a huge test of the body and mind. If they are not careful, they may fall into an irretrievable situation.
Dark wizards must delve into forbidden realms and explore knowledge that is rejected by the righteous. They communicate with the power of evil, absorb its essence, and integrate it into their own magic.
On the path of cultivation, they encountered countless difficulties and challenges. The power of the evil arts often got out of control, causing terrible consequences. They needed to constantly adjust and control their power to avoid being backfired.
However, it is this difficult training process that makes the dark wizards more resilient and powerful. They have tempered their tenacious will in the darkness and can endure pain and pressure that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Their magic became more and more powerful, able to release terrifying dark forces. But behind all this, they paid a huge price.
As they practiced more, the dark mages gradually lost their originally kind nature in the abyss of darkness. Most of them had their minds twisted and their humanity gradually extinguished. They became messengers of darkness and would do anything to pursue power.
In this mysterious and dangerous world, the dark wizards' cultivation path is destined to be lonely and difficult. They will continue to fight against darkness until they finally master the extremely powerful evil power.
In this process, the dark wizard who can finally master the evil arts while still retaining his kind nature is the most determined cultivator. Although they did not walk the right path at the beginning, they are wizards who are both good and evil.
Xiao Yunyan looked at them and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although these people were once enemies, they were now ecstatic because of their promises.
The life path of many people is not smooth. When young people first enter society, they often get into trouble because of some misunderstandings and prejudices. But in the end, those strong people who are unwilling to give up, through hard work and persistence, finally succeed in proving themselves and gain everyone's recognition and respect.
Xiao Yunyan knew that these dark wizards were not completely evil, they just lost their way on the wrong path. The kindness of their nature had not been extinguished. If they were given a chance and guidance, they might be able to change their fate and get on the right path.
Therefore, Xiao Yunyan decided to give them a chance, and she said: "I will forgive you for everything you did in the past.
But from today on, you must keep your promise, stop doing evil, and concentrate on cultivation. Only in this way can you truly win people’s respect and trust.”
The dark wizards nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to reform themselves and start a new life. They knew very well that this was a rare opportunity, and if they missed it, there might be no turning back.
Xiao Yunyan fulfilled her promise and provided these dark wizards with sufficient spiritual energy and daily necessities.
It so happened that Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan decided to investigate the conspiracy of Prince Jiayang in depth and implement effective countermeasures to disintegrate and eliminate the remaining forces under him as soon as possible, protect the peace of the Kingdom of Beichuan, and protect the security of several surrounding countries.
After these dark wizards were released, they could help him thoroughly investigate the true strength behind the adopted prince and the network of relationships hidden behind him.
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan both agreed that as the prince of a small country like Jiayang, even if he had already grasped the power of a king, he still did not have such abundant resources and gold and silver to support the expenses of so many cultivators and assassins.
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan also believed that there must be a huge dark industry behind them that could provide more wealth and materials than the second prince.
The two explained in detail to the dark wizards the direction and specific content of their investigation.
The dark wizards took on the first task assigned to them by their two new masters. They were somewhat worried about the method of communication. After all, working under Prince Jiayang, they would be monitored by countless spies.
Li Mohan asked them to write down the information they found and asked the owner of the medicine shop under the name of Prince Duanjing to help deliver the letter. The dark wizard would often go to the medicine shop under the name of the prince's mansion to buy various elixirs.
