Chapter 1777 (2/2)
“The conclusion? Senior, have you seen the conclusion? Have you managed to see the future of the continent? You’re right, the process isn’t important . What’s important is the result . But before the result appears, who can say whether an action is right or wrong? If you really could see the conclusion, you’d have probably long since ascended instead of staying in this world,” said Long Chen .
“What nonsense, senior Dong Ming is speaking to you out of the kindness of his heart, telling you not to go too far . Pay attention to your status!” Finally, one of the other Netherpa.s.sage elders could not bear with Long Chen’s att.i.tude .
“So, unable to defeat someone in logic, you use your seniority to suppress them . Because your seniority is greater, your words are then the correct ones? Whoever’s cultivation base is the strongest has the authority to speak? If that’s the case, then why bother? Let’s just fight . After living so many years, it seems maggots have infested your brain . ” Long Chen’s angrily laughed . This kind of person was precisely the kind he looked down upon the most .
“You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” That Netherpa.s.sage elder was about to attack when he was held back by the leader .
“Long Chen, now is not the time to get hot-headed . . . ”
“My head is not hot . This idiot Di Xin is just an ant in my eyes and isn’t qualified to affect my emotions . I’m only killing him because of a promise to the first commander, a promise that only men would understand . His beloved sister was worth ten times his own life, but he was unable to avenge her, so he entrusted this to me . To tell the truth, I’m glad the alliance head hasn’t decided to concede again . If she had, I would be leaving the Martial Heaven Alliance . Today, no one can stop me from killing Di Xin . Even if I had to toss my life away here, I would kill him to accomplish what the first commander entrusted me with . ”
His words shook people’s hearts . He seemed like a G.o.d as he stood there, filled with unstoppable determination . The heavens could crumble, the earth could shatter, but his determination would not waver . His determination would not be the slightest bit shaken even if blood soaked this land and bones rained from the sky .
“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen…” Qingqing held the first and second commanders’ corpses, her tears once more streaming . No wonder the first commander had trusted Long Chen so much . Perhaps only men could understand this kind of trust .
The two of them hadn’t even known each other . With just one look, because of just one promise, Long Chen was willing to go to the ends of the earth .
“Long Chen…” Beside Qingqing was Ye Lingshan . She bit her lip, also crying . This was obstinate, something an ordinary person could not understand, but it was moving .
Everyone was silent, their hearts shaking . Today’s men had fallen in terms of honor, but Long Chen had not . Because of one promise, he was willing to become enemies with multiple Netherpa.s.sage experts . This was a real expert, a real hero .
“As expected, the same character as the old man . ”
Qu Jianying cursed inside as she stared at Long Chen . She felt profoundly helpless over this character of his . She was never able to be like that .
She was the leader of the Martial Heaven Alliance and had to do what was best for the Martial Heaven Alliance . A favor, an emotional tie would only affect her decisions minutely .
That was why Qu Jianying was unable to be as willful as she wished to be . A single bad mistake on her part could cost countless lives . She couldn’t bear something like that .
“Long Chen, you have to be clear . There are two kinds of duty in this world . This promise of yours is a small one, but you have a much greater responsibility to this world and its billions of lives . That’s true righteousness, so don’t make this conflict worse . You’ve already killed Di Ruyun and crippled Di Xin . You’ve already avenged the two of them . Why must you kill Di Xin and worsen things?” asked the elder .
However, as he was advising him, Qu Jianying’s expression changed slightly . This elder voice was heavy and gentle as he spoke . He was using the life and death energy of a Netherpa.s.sage expert in a hypnotic manner .
This hypnotic art was something that Netherpa.s.sage experts used when teaching their disciples . It contained their understanding of life and death, as well as Heavenly Dao energy . It formed a resonance with the people hearing it, making them approve of their words .
Qu Jianying was about to speak when the other elders looked at her profoundly .
“Alliance head, that Di Xin’s status is special . He can be crippled, but he definitely cannot be allowed to be killed . You understand,” said one of the elders coldly to Qu Jianying .
Qu Jianying looked at Long Chen, struggling . Long Chen’s expression was currently softening . Clearly, he was affected by the elder’s voice . Her thoughts were in a mess, and she didn’t know what she should do .
She truly did want to be willful and get her vengeance . But if she did choose to be willful, the pain and suffering of this decision would be something others were forced to bear .
“Long Chen, a person should take the long view . Do things to get better . In the future, the Martial Heaven Alliance and the ancient family alliance can be united against the Corrupt path . There won’t be any more enmity between the two sides . Releasing Di Xin is releasing all the enmity between them . Your own life will become much easier,” continued the elder .
“That’s right . Di Xin is still a child, so release him . ” Suddenly, Di Xin’s mother also spoke . The elders’ expressions changed, but fortunately, she was also using the same hypnotic art .
Long Chen nodded . “Yes, since you’re saying he’s still just a child, fine . ”
Long Chen actually released Di Xin’s neck, delighting everyone . However, Di Xin’s mother had already made her decision . She was the closest one to Long Chen . While his mind was still being affected, she would kill him .
Long Chen slammed his hand into Di Xin’s head . “Fine… I will give him a chance to reincarnate . ”
