Chapter 468 We Are Here
"Just because of this, you've become so heartless as to betray your compatriots and become a dog for Japan?"
Yu Shu's eyes blazed with fury, his anger barely contained.
Who wouldn't want to unify the cultivation world?
But there are limits, aren't there?
He would never stoop to being someone's dog and being scorned by others.
Lin Xuantong shook his head: "Of course, it's not just because of that."
His gaze swept over the three men, whose faces were ashen, and his voice suddenly rose, filled with a long-suppressed resentment and fanaticism.
"The rules of this world are already broken, the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, and the path ahead is blocked. We, the so-called leaders of the Dao lineage, are nothing more than lingering on a dead end, wasting our lives in vain."
"I am doing this only to pave a bright future for all cultivators in the world, and it only requires some sacrifices. You should feel honored for this."
"Fuck you!"
Master Yu Shu couldn't help but swear, angrily saying, "You speak so grandly, why don't you use the blood sacrifice of tens of thousands of disciples from your Tai Xu Palace? Let them have the honor too?"
"Lin Xuantong, you've completely gone mad!"
Elder Lei was trembling with rage: "For your own selfish desires, you betrayed the Great Xia Dynasty and colluded with foreign enemies. Where do you place the ten-thousand-year-old reputation of the Taixu Palace? Where do you place the countless comrades who perished here?"
"Reputation? Like-minded people?"
Lin Xuantong scoffed, his eyes filled with mockery: "The victors are kings, the losers are villains; history is written by the victors! Once I reach the summit and rule this world, who will dare utter a single word of criticism? As for them..."
His gaze swept over the terrified and angry crowd below, as if looking at ants: "The dead don't pass on messages."
Shen Nan, unable to contain himself any longer, burst out cursing: "I think you've ruined your brain with cultivation! You think you're superior just because you're a dog?"
Yun Chen restrained the enraged Shen Nan, his eyes as cold as knives, and stared directly at Lin Xuantong: "So all of this was something you planned all along?"
"Inviting so many people to the ranked matches is actually for a blood sacrifice?"
When he heard the Japanese plan to use a blood sacrifice of ten thousand people to resurrect Amaterasu in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, he wondered where the Japanese would find so many people.
After all, he couldn't think of any other way to carry out a massacre besides slaughtering a city.
So after returning, I had the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion keep an eye on the city next to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
But to everyone's surprise, their goal was actually the ranking competition.
"That's right!"
Lin Xuantong wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely took out a chair from his storage ring and sat down: "If you want to resurrect a god, you must perform a blood sacrifice. This is the best opportunity."
"Then why did you ambush and kill us on the road? Weren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
Yun Chen asked the question that had been on his mind.
Lin Xuantong smiled and then waved.
Several elders of the Taixu Palace escorted a group of young people, bound by rune chains and with weakened auras, out from the back of the main hall.
Although these people were dressed in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, and their faces were full of exhaustion and defiance, their eyes remained sharp, and the faint spiritual energy emanating from their bodies showed their extraordinary talent and strength.
"Senior Brother Liu?"
"Senior Sister Zhang!"
"It's the senior brothers and sisters from the Dao Alliance!"
A gasp of surprise rang out among the disciples of Shenlei Palace and Yuxu Palace. Many people's expressions changed drastically as they recognized the identities of these captured people.
They are the top genius disciples sent by various sects to the Dao Alliance for further study, and they are the future hope of their sects.
When Elder Lei, Mu Bingyun, and True Person Yu Shu saw these captured disciples, their pupils shrank and their faces instantly turned extremely ugly.
"No wonder those senior brothers and sisters haven't shown up yet; they've been captured."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen immediately recalled what Liu Yanran had said earlier.
He initially thought he was delayed by something on the road, but he never expected to be arrested.
"Lin Xuantong! How dare you lay a hand on a disciple of the Dao Alliance?"
Elder Lei's voice trembled with anger.
The Dao Alliance is independent of all other sects and aims to cultivate the most outstanding disciples to jointly resist external enemies. Lin Xuantong's actions have completely trampled on all bottom lines.
"why?"
Lin Xuantong leisurely enjoyed their angry expressions: "Naturally, it's to ensure the plan goes perfectly. Why do you think I would make a move during this qualifying match?"
He pointed to the captured Dao Alliance geniuses, then to the large number of disciples from various sects and spectators in the square below, his smile turning cruel and triumphant.
"Relying solely on the blood souls of these ordinary disciples and rogue cultivators is still somewhat insufficient. But if we add these... the Dao Alliance geniuses who carry the fortune and future of each sect, as well as you three Nascent Soul peak leaders..."
His gaze, like that of a venomous snake, slowly swept over Elder Lei, Mu Bingyun, and True Person Yu Shu: "With your cultivation, your foundation, and your fortune as the catalyst, this sacrifice can be considered... perfect!"
"you!"
Master Yu Shu was so angry he almost vomited blood: "So you had this all planned all along...!"
"You only realize it now? Too late!" Lin Xuantong laughed heartily, looking extremely pleased.
"Although there was a minor hiccup, the result was still good."
He slowly stood up, looking down at the restless crowd below, like an emperor who controlled life and death.
"When the gods descend, my Taixu Palace will surely reign supreme over the world and establish an everlasting dynasty! And you..."
His gaze swept over Elder Lei, Mu Bingyun, True Person Yu Shu, and the angry and desperate disciples behind them, his eyes filled with undisguised greed: "They are the most perfect foundation stone for this great cause!"
"You're dreaming!"
Elder Lei's hair and beard bristled, and lightning surged around him. He could no longer suppress his rage: "You think you can touch a disciple of my Divine Thunder Palace? You'll have to step over my dead body first!"
"And I!"
Mu Bingyun took a step forward, and icy spiritual energy swept out, instantly freezing the ground into a thick layer of ice.
Although Master Yu Shu did not speak, the whisk in his hand shone brightly, indicating his stance.
The auras of the three Nascent Soul Peak experts erupted simultaneously, like three volcanoes about to erupt, colliding fiercely with the chilling auras of Lin Xuantong and countless Shadow Serpent Group cultivators and defectors of the Taixu Palace!
The air seemed to freeze, and the invisible pressure made it difficult for many lower-level disciples to breathe.
However, amidst this suffocating sense of oppression, a voice trembled yet remained resolute:
"And I!"
As everyone looked over, they saw a cultivator whose cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although his face was as pale as paper, he gripped his long sword tightly and stood at the edge of the spiritual energy enveloped by Elder Lei and the others.
He may be insignificant, and he may turn to ashes in the next moment during a battle between Nascent Soul level cultivators, but at this moment, he chose to die standing up!
This sound, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand ripples.
"That's right! We're here too!"
"Let's fight these traitors and Japanese dogs!"
"You want to sacrifice my life? You'll have to ask the knife in my hand first!"
One by one, cultivators from the Great Xia Dynasty stepped forward and stood behind Elder Lei and the others.
The roar spread like wildfire, instantly engulfing the entire square.
