Chapter 834

City on the Cusp of Collapse

“Hahaha, spare us the theatrics,” mocked Tian Ziming. “The people have found common ground. Everyone is waiting for you to sacrifice yourself for the city; nobody wants to die for no reason.”

“No, I believe we ought to fight,” declared a middle-aged man attired in blue.

“I agree,” voiced a young man.

“And me,” declared an elder.

“Me, too,” announced a maiden

“I refuse to bow my head to them,” opined a young man.

“You twenty also have death wishes? Suit yourselves!” fumed Tian Ziming, once the twenty cultivators chose to stand alongside Mu Yu.

The man in blue verbalised, “They won’t spare us. Surrender is the height of idiocy.”

“You’re the idiots!” shouted Gao Yixing.

Mu Yu scared Gao Yixing with a stare. “Anyone else?”

“I want to fight with you!” hollered a young boy not even in his teens, showing his fists.

“Fan, don’t be silly!” scolded the boy’s father.

“Father, in the stories you always told me, elemental demons are an evil race out to kill us. You told me I had to grow up into an immortal master to fight them, didn’t you? Why are all of the immortal masters afraid of the elemental demons and shying away from battle?” the boy queried.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The cultivators heard the boy loud and clear.

The boy’s father, who was but a waiter (read: slave of cultivators) at an eatery in the city, had no clue how to respond. Fearing for his son’s life, he pulled his son in close.

“Father, was it all a lie? Are the immortal masters in the stories just mythical beings? These are not brave heroes who can slay elemental demons; they are cowering before the elemental demons. I do not want to become one of them. I want to defeat the elemental demons!”

Instead of stepping forward, a Primordial Infant Realm cultivator aggressed, “Shut up!”

I opined Brother Xiang Nan’s approach was wrong as it went against your teachings. In the same vain, I put those he put under his control a lesson when they started bullying others. Looking back on it, he was not wrong; I was wrong.

I genuinely want to protect mankind; however, none of them want to fight. How can I help someone who does not want to help themselves? I did not ask them to be grateful for my intervention. I still thought saving them was the right thing to do even though they wanted to raise a white flag.

Afraid my decisions would be wrong due to the bloodlust energy, I used Mr. Xuan’s family as a measure to evaluate people and asked Lord He to decide for me whether or not to rescue the inhabitants. In the end, these cowards slaughtered all of those people with noble hearts. I am sorry, but I cannot forgive them or pull wool over my eyes and save them.

I cannot watch the just die and the cowards live. I cannot accept it. I am only going to save twenty-three people. Shifu, it is tiring playing the gallantry knight in this world. I want to join the dark side. Lie Shang is fed up. I am fed up. Sorry, Shifu.

Mu Yu shed tears as he woefully kowtowed to his shifu’s statue three times. Rising to his feet to commence a new journey, Mu Yu turned Shadow Splitter Sword into a black and white sword. Releasing his shackles on his bloodlust energy, the energy resembled an explosive detonation.

“You twenty-three can leave the city.”

Mu Yu triggered the formation carved in the Greater Heaven Stage formation foundation in his hand, shrouding the twenty-three in a teleportation formation and then transporting them out of the city.

“That was a teleportation formation! Did they leave the city?”

“Why didn’t you use the formation earlier? Are you trying to get us killed?”

“So you are their conspirator!”

“As for the remainder of you, you can all die.” Mu Yu’s teardrop on his shifu’s statue transformed into bloodlust, tearing the statue down to pieces!

The demolition of the statue rocked the city to its foundation as the airborne formation lines drizzled down, subsequently removing the transparent barrier.

“If you are the representations of justice, I shall be the darkness.”
