Chapter 1095 – Lets Fight (2/2)

The Prince of Zhongshan snorted, displeasure appearing on his face, but the other princes, ministers, and several Divine Generals were clearly rather relieved.

In their view, the outcome today was already obvious.

At this moment, several youths walked into the Mausoleum of Books.

They came to the front of the Divine Path, met up with the Sword Hall elders, and then stood behind Xu Yourong.

There was no hesitation in the entire process, no discussion. Both movement and expression were extremely natural.

Xu Yourong faintly smiled at them.

Chen Changsheng nodded in greeting.

Wang Zhice had never met these youths, but he could guess that they were Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, and Bai Cai.

The Mount Li Sword Sect was the Human race's vanguard against the demons over the last several hundred years. They had a superb reputation and wielded powerful influence.

Wang Zhice still knew of this despite living far away from society, but he did not know of the events taking place in the last few years.

When he saw the Mount Li Sword Sect so firmly standing behind Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The experts of the southern sects, princes, and ministers were shocked, or perhaps they were uneasy.

Gou Hanshi and the others were part of the acclaimed Divine Kingdom's Seven Laws, but they were still young. The Sword Hall elders were the true elite experts.

More importantly, their actions represented the will of the Mount Li Sword Sect Master.

The will of an expert of the Divine Domain had to be respected, even by Wang Zhice and Shang Xingzhou.

Soon after, another expert of the Divine Domain came forward.

The chilly breeze sent snow onto the pitch-black blade. The snow did not melt, but stuck to its surface.

Hugging his blade, Wang Po said, ”Chen Changsheng spoke correctly. If one has to yield, it should be your side.”

Even if Mao Qiuyu and Cao Yunping were present, they would have found it very difficult to endure the pressure given off by Wang Zhice.

This was also perhaps why the Mount Li Sword Sect Master had not personally appeared.

But Wang Po had chosen without hesitation to express his support for Chen Changsheng, and he even seemed to be revealing some of his edge.

The generation of blooming wildflowers had begun with Wang Po.

It was perhaps for this reason that the senior experts of humanity had always admired him.

Excepting Zhu Luo and Su Li.

Wang Zhice also admired Wang Po, so he was even more confused.

He asked, ”Why?”

Wang Po replied, ”Because he is younger than you.”

Wang Zhice arched his brows. ”Younger?”

”To be young is to be correct.”

Wang Po added, ”To put it another way, when people get old, they're liable to become senile.”

Wang Zhice said, ”Excessive thought truly does make one lose some edge, but one must be cautious when considering the overarching situation.”

Wang Po said, ”When my clan was being eradicated under Emperor Taizong's decree, you said nothing. Was this also for the overarching situation?”

Wang Zhice's brows rose again. He wanted to explain that Taizong was already suspicious of him back then and he had no power in the court, and… But when he saw those impoverished brows, he suddenly felt that explanations were meaningless. He could only chuckle bitterly.

At this moment, Shang Xingzhou suddenly spoke to Chen Changsheng.

”If you want to see your teacher's heart, just these words alone are not enough.”

These words were somewhat incomprehensible.

But Chen Changsheng understood, because this had always been his intention.

”Yes, so I've thought of a method which will help us clearly see just what we want.”

”What method?”

”None of us is willing to yield or willing to die, and we also want to prove that we're right, so let's fight a battle.”

”I believed that we were fighting this entire time.”

”No, there are too many people in this fight.”

”Every person has their own reason to fight.”

”In the end, however, this is a matter between the two of us, so why drag the entire world in?”

Chen Changsheng looked at Shang Xingzhou and sincerely said, ”Master, let's fight. The loser will follow the orders of the winner.”
