Chapter 2345 It takes more courage to live than to die
There are thirty-seven people in that list.
Not too many, but they are all top warriors who have been fighting on the front line in the past three years.
At that time, the middle-aged scribe published the list.
There was a dead silence in the whole place, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
But to everyone's surprise, only Wen Ruoxue stood up in the end!
She came to the front of the sect hall alone, looked at the headmaster Ling Qingfeng with a pair of clear eyes, and said:
"Headmaster, is handing us over to the enemy one of the prices our sect must pay for surrendering?"
Ling Qingfeng looked complicated and sighed: "You...why are you bothering?!"
A few days ago, he had warned Wen Ruoxue to run away quickly.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ruoxue was very stubborn and decided to stay.
"We fought bloody battles for three years, but in the end it became part of the price of negotiating with the enemy. I finally saw the absurdity of the world."
A hint of self-mockery appeared on the corner of Wen Ruoxue's lips.
No one said a word.
The more than 17,000 powerful Kaiyuan Dao Sect members in the dojo were also silent.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
In the crowd, Mu Bai quietly clenched his hands, feeling an unspeakable sadness and indignation welling up in his heart.
"Ruoxue, no wonder Headmaster, we have reminded you a few days ago."
Tu Youfang looked depressed and lowered his head. As a master, he could not look directly into Wen Ruoxue's eyes at this moment!
"Master, I understand."
Wen Ruoxue looked calm, "I just want to see how much price our Kaiyuan Dao Sect will pay when we choose to surrender!"
"Have some backbone! I can satisfy you."
Sitting in the chair, Qian Zhong said indifferently, "Where are the other thirty-six people?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Headmaster Ling Qingfeng lowered his head and said: "They all left the sect a few days ago."
Qian Zhong glanced at Ling Qingfeng and said, "I had expected this. Luo Song, please bring those people here."
"yes!"
Luo Song, the great elder of Kaiyuan Dao Sect, solemnly accepted the order.
Seeing this, the expressions of Ling Qingfeng and some of the big shots in Kaiyuan Dao Sect changed.
The Great Elder...has actually surrendered to the Black Cloud Sect a long time ago!?
Luo Song clapped his hands.
Immediately, a group of people were escorted up, thirty-six of them, all bound by divine chains.
Those are all the people on that must-kill list!
"Great Elder, you——!"
Headmaster Ling Qingfeng’s eyes widened in anger.
"Headmaster, since you want to surrender, you must sincerely work for the Black Cloud Sect, right?"
Luo Song looked calm, "Not to mention, this is not my idea alone."
Ling Qingfeng's heart sank and he looked at the other important figures around him.
Some of them looked uncomfortable, their eyes flickered, and they did not dare to look at them.
Undoubtedly, they all already knew it!
Only he, the leader, and some other big shots were kept in the dark!
"Luo Song is right. From now on, your Kaiyuan Dao Sect and I, the Black Cloud Sect, are one family."
Qian Zhong's eyes were cold and he said, "If we do something illegal again, it won't be justified."
Ling Qingfeng looked ugly and lost his mind.
The situation turned out to be out of his control a long time ago!
The reason is that a group of traitors have already appeared in the sect!!
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the execution."
Qian Zhong spoke again, "Ling Qingfeng, you choose one person to kill first, and the others will be ready, and then step forward one by one to kill those blind bastards!"
The whole place was horrified.
Who could have imagined that the Black Cloud Sect would let their leader personally kill Wen Ruoxue and others?
This punishment... is simply too harsh!!
Looking at Ling Qingfeng, Tu Youfang and others, all of them looked shocked and angry, their cheeks were ashen, they were obviously extremely angry.
"I won't do this!"
Ling Qingfeng said angrily, "Also, when we surrendered, this item was not included in the conditions discussed at all! Ancestor Qian Zhong, please don't do things too much, otherwise, don't blame us for being a dead end!!"
“The fish is dead and the net is broken?”
A sneer appeared in Qian Zhong's eyes, "Ling Qingfeng, your headmaster has long been an empty air. Please ask, who among the Kaiyuan Dao Sect present here is willing to fight with you?"
"We do!"
Tu Youfang and some other big shots stood up and looked at Elder Qian Zhong angrily.
But more big shots chose to remain silent and turned a deaf ear to all this.
This scene made Ling Qingfeng's heart tremble.
"Have you seen that, you are no longer qualified to talk about fighting to the death!"
Qian Zhong said, pointing to the more than 17,000 Kaiyuan Taoist masters in the distant dojo, and said: "If you don't believe it, ask those people again."
Luo Song immediately stood up and shouted: "Listen up, everyone, our Kaiyuan Dao Sect has surrendered to the Black Cloud Sect. From now on, we are a family. Whoever dares to stand up and oppose now will die!!"
His words rumbled through the dojo like thunder.
Many people changed their colors, remained silent, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say a word.
There were also people who looked sad and angry, ready to take action.
But the number is relatively small.
Most people looked gloomy and remained silent. Who could not understand that as long as you stand up now, you will die?
"Did you see it? This is called the general trend! Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!"
Qian Zhong glanced at Ling Qingfeng coldly and said, "Go ahead. As long as you kill one person, it is equivalent to handing in a certificate of surrender and expressing your determination. From now on, you will still be the headmaster of Kaiyuan Dao Sect."
"Master, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Don't make Patriarch Qian Zhong angry."
Great Elder Luo Song reminded, "This is a general trend that you cannot resist!"
Ling Qingfeng's face was ashen and gloomy, and he was furious.
He stared at Qian Zhong and hissed: "We have already surrendered and paid various prices, why are you forcing us like this!?"
Qian Zhong frowned, and suddenly, a terrifying power swept through the entire audience, making everyone shudder.
He raised his hand and pointed.
boom!!
Ling Qingfeng flew backwards and was seriously injured.
"From now on, you are no longer the leader of the Kaiyuan Taoist Sect. When we leave, we will take you back to the Black Cloud Sect and imprison you in purgatory to atone for your sins."
Qian Zhong's tone was indifferent. In just one sentence, Ling Qingfeng would be deprived of his status as head coach!
"You, the Black Cloud Sect, will be punished sooner or later if you go back on your word!"
Tu Youfang scolded angrily.
boom!!
Qian Zhong flicked his finger, and Tu Youfang was seriously injured.
Wen Ruoxuehua looked miserable, she rushed over immediately, helped Tu Youfang up, and said sadly: "Master, are you okay?"
Tu Youfang said bitterly: "Ruoxue, you are right, surrendering... will never end well!"
Wen Ruoxue looked gloomy. Is it useful to say this now?
"God has the virtue of good life, and I, the Black Cloud Sect, have always kept our word. Since I promised not to kill you after you surrender, I will naturally do it."
Qian Zhong looked indifferent, "However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. From now on, you will all become prisoners to atone for today's recklessness."
The atmosphere in the whole place became increasingly dead.
Mubai's eyes were red and filled with blood.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to control the almost unstoppable anger in his heart.
He knew that if he stood up today, he would definitely die!
He is not afraid of death.
But...this time he must live!
Because only by surviving can you have the chance to take revenge and kill those invaders from the Black Cloud Sect!!
No one knows how painful he felt in the past three days and three nights after making this decision.
For a person who is not afraid of life and death, making such a decision is far more difficult and requires greater courage than going to die!
After all, it would be too painful and torturous for him to watch his enemies do whatever they want in the sect while he could only endure it!!
"You did well."
A hand patted Mu Bai's shoulder.
Mu Bai suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the person next to him clearly, he couldn't help but be startled, why is it this guy?
The man next to him was dressed in white and stood tall. He was the strange man he saw in the dilapidated Taoist temple a few days ago!
"you……"
What did Mu Bai just want to say?
Su Yi said softly: "From now on, you have the qualifications to be valued by me."
"Next, you can just watch this farce come to an end with peace of mind."
With that said, Su Yi has already stepped forward.
The strange thing is that there are more than 17,000 people in this dojo, but Su Yi walked by without anyone noticing!
"What is farce?"
Mu Bai frowned.
at the same time--
In front of the sect's main hall.
Qian Zhong glanced at the other big figures in Kaiyuan Dao Sect, "Who wants to try?"
Those big shots avoided his gaze and chose to bow their heads in silence.
Qian Zhong pointed at Wen Ruoxue who was not far away, "If someone is the first to kill this woman, I guarantee that he will be given the position of protector of the Black Cloud Sect!"
Suddenly, the big shots present had different expressions.
A man in a Chinese robe was the first to stand up. Without saying a word, he went straight towards Wen Ruoxue and killed him.
There was a commotion in the whole place, and they immediately recognized that the man in the rich robe was Qi Tai, the fifth elder of the sect.
One of Headmaster Ling Qingfeng’s right-hand men!
But now, he didn't say a word and just took action!!
This was completely unexpected by many people.
"Hide quickly!!"
Tu Youfang reacted the fastest and pushed Wen Ruoxue out immediately, fighting to stay in front of him even though he was seriously injured.
At this moment, Wen Ruoxue's heart was clenched and she lost her voice: "Master——!"
boom!!
Blood rained down.
A figure exploded.
But everyone was shocked to find that it was not Tu Youfang who died, but Qi Tai, the fifth elder who had suddenly been killed!!
His figure was like a firecracker that was lit, exploding halfway, and blood spilled all over the floor.
"this……"
Tu Youfang was stunned.
Wen Ruoxue also opened her eyes wide.
This sudden bloody scene made everyone in the audience dumbfounded.
Who did this?
Whoosh!
The one who reacted the fastest was Qian Zhong, the supreme elder of the Black Cloud Sect. His eyes were like lightning, and he looked into the distance suddenly.
There, there was a young man in white clothes, walking towards this side.
He looks very ordinary, but he has an otherworldly charm about him.
"Is this the helper invited by your Kaiyuan Dao Sect?"
Qian Zhong spoke in a deep voice.
It was also at this moment that everyone in the audience saw Su Yi's figure clearly, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Who is this?
The sect has all decided to surrender. When did they ask for help? Even the headmaster Ling Qingfeng, Tu Youfang and others were confused.
