The once prosperous Jizhou became a dead city.
Lu Aotian was riding on horseback, holding a long sword with a black scabbard. A pair of sharp eyes burst out with earth-shattering murderous intent. He was so angry that he trembled all over and said in a cold voice, "You deserve to be killed! Shangguan Yun deserves to be killed!"
Lu Fengming was dressed in white, with a white sword in her hand. She looked at the lifeless Jizhou with tears in her eyes, at the moat with its exposed riverbed, at the dry and cracked earth, at the steaming ground without any grass. She murmured to herself, "The common people Why should we deserve it? How could we deserve it?”
In the city, the refugees hiding under the eaves looked at this group of people, their eyes were numb and lifeless.
Xue Wanshan tugged at his gray beard. The hand holding the sword was so hard that veins broke out on the back of his hand and on his forehead.
At this moment, the originally indignant martial arts heroes fell silent. Faced with such a hell on earth, their anger could no longer be expressed in words.
Fu Tianjiao arrived at Jizhou City. She outrun several fast horses, her originally bright face became haggard, and her black and shiny hair was stained by wind and frost.
Looking at the dead Jizhou City and the red-lit Shangguan Fort a hundred miles away, Fu Tianjiao felt extremely heavy.
Lu Yi and Fu Tianxiang also rushed to Jizhou City. They were as embarrassed as Fu Tianjiao, and their mood was as heavy as Fu Tianjiao.
At the gate of Jizhou City, Fu Tianjiao walked towards the dark crowd with a white jade sword in hand, and walked towards Xue Wanshan and Lu Aotian in the center of the crowd.
"Fu Nuxia is back!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd all turned to look at Fu Tianjiao and the other two people approaching.
There was excitement in the eyes of the heroes, and someone said, "Fu Nuxia went to invite Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng. I guess Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng will be here soon, right?"
"It should be coming soon. Biyusheng is a kind and righteous person. Li Zhige can get together with Biyusheng and be recognized by Biyusheng. I think he is also a benevolent and righteous person."
"This time we have to rely on Li Zhige and Biyusheng to eliminate demons. Let's make preparations quickly to welcome Li Zhige and Biyusheng."
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Xue Wanshan looked at Fu Tianjiao who was in a low mood. He took a long breath, turned to look at Lu Aotian and Lu Fengming, and said in a deep voice, "Master Lu, it seems that we can't count on Li Li this time. When Zhige and Biyu are born, we have to rely on ourselves."
Lu Aotian nodded, and the atmosphere unconsciously became depressed.
Fu Tianjiao walked up to Xue Wanshan and the others. She was in a low mood and said with shame on her face, "Master, several uncles, and seniors, Tianjiao is incompetent and did not find Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng."
Hearing that Fu Tianjiao did not find Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng, the crowd's shouts suddenly stopped, and Shen Henian, Li Dengping, Bald Eagle and others even frowned.
The closer they got to Shangguan Fort, the more frightened everyone became, and the greater their expectations for Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng. Now that they suddenly heard that Fu Tianjiao and the others had not found Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng, everyone's hearts went cold, and many people even wanted to withdraw.
The prerequisite for eliminating demons and defending the Tao is that your life is not in danger and you have someone who takes the lead.
But now everyone has realized that Xue Wanshan and the Black and White Heroes who are taking the lead will most likely not be able to deal with Shangguan Yun, and their lives and others are in danger, so everyone has a thought of retreating.
Shangguan Yun is very hateful, and the people in the Central Plains are very pitiful, but do these have their own lives?
Xue Wanshan's junior brother, Qingfeng Swordsman Shen Henian, looked at his senior brother hesitantly and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, how about we send more people out to look for Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng? We will go there after we find Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng. It’s not too late for Shangguan Fort to deal with Shangguan Yun.”
Zhang Yong, one of the Seven Heroes of Tianshan, looked at his master, Qingfeng Swordsman Shen Henian, and agreed, "Yes, master master, master is right, we should send more people out to find Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng. It won’t be too late for us to deal with Shangguan Yun after we find Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng.”
"We are still a hundred miles away from Shangguan Fort, but Jizhou City a hundred miles away has turned into a purgatory on earth because of Shangguan Yun. You can imagine how terrifying Shangguan Yun is. Master Master, the disciple is not greedy for life and afraid of death, just a disciple I don’t think anyone should risk their lives because it’s meaningless.”
After Shen Henian and Zhang Yong, many people spoke one after another, "Master Xue, we also think we should go back and discuss the matter in a long term. After we find Li Zhige and Bi Yusheng, we can discuss the matter of eliminating the demon." ”
Facing the crowd's mixed suggestions, Xue Wanshan lowered his eyelids and fell into silence.
Lu Aotian was riding a tall horse. He looked around the Western Zhou Dynasty, with a cold light in his eyes, and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to me!"
"Shangguanyun has become a demon and has endangered the world. Countless martial arts comrades have lost their lives because of Shangguanyun, and hundreds of thousands or millions of people in the Central Plains have been displaced because of him."
"Li Zhige was not found today, and Li Zhige was not found tomorrow. If Li Zhige cannot be found, should we leave Shangguan Yun alone?"
"Have you ever thought that if Shangguan Yun is not removed for one day, the degree of his obsession will be deeper, the scope of the disaster will be wider, and the more people will be implicated!"
"Do you want to watch the righteous path perish? Do you want to watch the beautiful mountains, rivers and land turn into a demonic land?"
"Everyone, it is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. But there are things a man can do and things he should not do. At this time when the martial arts world is in danger and the world is falling, we must have someone to stand up and stop Shangguan Yun, even if it means throwing his head and blood. No matter what!"
"I, Lu Aotian, will risk my life to get rid of Shangguan Yun. If you are willing to die with Lu Aotian, please come forward! If you don't want to die, Lu Aotian will never blame you!"
Lu Aotian's impassioned speech made everyone's blood boil. Lu Yi's face turned red. He was the first to stand up and said loudly, "Dad, my child is not afraid of death! For the sake of the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the beautiful rivers and mountains not to become a demonic land, my child I am willing to die with you!"
Lu Aotian nodded with satisfaction and slapped Lu Yi hard on the shoulder, "Okay! This is my son, Lu Aotian!"
Bai Xia Lu Fengming said nothing. She looked at her husband and son with gentle eyes, and the smile on her face said everything.
Xue Wanshan was in high spirits. He walked up to Lu Aotian with an iron sword in his hand and laughed heartily and said, "Master Lu is willing to die for the sake of the people of the world. Half of the old man's feet have already stepped into the coffin, so why cherish these old bones? "
"If you can exchange it for the people to live in peace, if you can exchange for the beautiful mountains and rivers, it will be worth it even if you die!"
Qingping swordsman Li Dengping looked at her senior brother tenderly. She was dressed in Qingyi, took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly, "Everyone in the Tianshan sect is willing to accompany the leader to eliminate demons, and is willing to accompany the leader to die!" "
There was a smile in Fu Tianjiao's eyes. She raised her white jade sword high and shouted in a clear voice, "Everyone in the Tianshan sect is willing to accompany the master to slay demons, and is willing to accompany the master to die together!"
Fu Tianxiang followed her senior sister and raised the sword in her hand. Her voice was as clear as a silver bell, and she shouted with some trembling, "Everyone in the Tianshan sect is willing to accompany the leader to eliminate demons, and is willing to accompany the leader to die together!"
Amidst the impassioned shouts of a group of disciples of the Tianshan Sect, countless people in the world turned red and shouted loudly, "For the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the beautiful rivers and mountains, we are willing to die!"
The crowd's shouts echoed through the sky, adding a bit of vitality to the faces of the numb-eyed refugees in Jizhou City.
Qingfeng Swordsman Shen Henian, who was mixed in the crowd, had a forced smile and a pale face.
The bald eagle and his disciples from three mountains and six caves stood quietly in the crowd, looking extremely unsociable.
Looking at the leaders Lu Aotian and Xue Wanshan, the bald eagle walked out of the crowd. Some did not dare to look into the eyes of Xue Wanshan and Lu Aotian. He did not have the confidence to say, "Master Lu, Master Xue, I, the bald eagle, admire you as heroes. But there are three mountains and six caves. Shangguan Yun is far away in southern Xinjiang and has no influence on us, so we people from three mountains and six caves will not go with you. "
Lu Aotian turned to look at the bald eagle and the group of people behind the bald eagle, nodded calmly and said, "Several mountain masters and cave masters, please!"
The people from the three mountains and six caves left, and one after another others came forward, telling Lu Aotian that Shangguan Yun's demonization would not affect him.
For a time, the originally dark group of nearly ten thousand people was reduced by more than half, with only a thousand or so people remaining following Lu Aotian.
Lu Yi looked at the backs of those people leaving and said angrily, "These evil people are usually selfish, but at critical moments they are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
After Lu Yi finished speaking, a short and fat man came out, shook his head and smiled, "Young Master Lu, your words are biased. I, the King of Hell, am also a person on the evil path, but when have I ever been greedy for life and afraid of death? How often have I, a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, been greedy for life and fearful of death?”
"That's right. Although my crazy old man likes to kill people, how often do I act selfishly, and how often do I fear death?"
Looking at a group of giants in the evil world, Lu Yi's eyelids trembled, he shrank his neck and retreated behind Lu Aotian.
Lu Aotian looked at the crowd and said with a hearty smile, "Everyone, there are people from noble families who are selfish and greedy for life and fear of death, and there are also heroic people on the evil path who are righteous and unworthy of heaven. When the world is in danger and the mountains and rivers are falling, we are not bound by the right path or the evil path. There is only one enemy!"
"Shangguanyun is the real devil! Today we join forces with good and evil to kill Shangguan Yun, even if it costs our lives!"
"Yes! Kill Shangguan Yun!"
The shouts resounded through the sky, and a large group of people rushed to Shangguan Fort, a hundred miles outside Jizhou City, with heroic spirit.
