Chapter 862: Broken Soul Man (2/2)
But, Sect Head Mo went to Sword Prison out of his own initiative. In fact, I believe that Sect Head Mo is the first person to do that. When he did, not only did he save all of us, he even destroyed the owners of Sword Prison, the Great Sword Path. I’m not the only one here that escaped from Sword Prison; most of us were from Sword Prison. Everyone, tell me. Is the despair that we’re feeling today comparable to the despair we felt in Sword Prison?”
”No!” Including Su Zi’An, ten over people in the Discussion Hall responded loudly. Revered Protector Wei was right. Back then, they were even able to escape from Sword Prison alive. Now, they had yet to lose all hope. How could this compare?
Waiting for the crowd to calm down, Su Zi’An said with greater solemnity, ”Perhaps we don’t have a choice. If all our array flags shatter, then we have to fight the invaders whose powers far exceed us and face their massacre. I remember that the Sect Head said this once before: Do not let your fate be controlled in the hands of others. Thus, I would like to proclaim right now. We will not wait for all the array flags to shatter. We will charge out and fight. Even if we only kill one person, it would not be for waste.”
Some people immediately stood up and expressed their agreement. At the same time, some remained silent. If offered a choice between life and death, no one would be willing to pick death. If they opened the array now, they would be sending themselves to death.
Su Zi’An slowed down his words, ”I know that everyone still hopes for a miracle. In reality, I am sure that by now, only 17 array flags remain.”
”I agree with Senior Uncle Su’s words. We will fight our way out,” Fu Jingfeng stood up and said loudly.
With the wealth of cultivation resources in Ping Fan Immortal School, Fu Jingfeng had already opened a total of 103 meridians and was at the True Lake Stage.
To be honest, the True Lake Stage might be of influence in the cultivation world. However, in the Immortal World, this cultivation wasn’t even comparable to ants.
Su Zi’An waved his hand towards Fu Jingfeng and said, ”It’s the exact opposite for you. You need to take the two stone tablets and leave. I hope that the revered words left behind by the Sect Head would be able to protect you. You are the disciple of the Sect Head. If the Sect Head doesn’t return, you must be the one to rebuild Ping Fan Immortal School.”
”Senior Uncle, I rather die in battle than to leave by myself,” Fu Jingfeng didn’t hesitate to say.
Just as Su Zi’An was able to speak, Dou Hualong hurriedly rushed over. He had a look of delight on his face as he said, ”Senior Uncle Su, there are still 18 array flags and they are no longer flashing.”
Hearing these words, not only Su Zi’An stood up in surprise, everyone else also stood up. Since the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School’s final layer of arrays, the array flags had never stopped flashing. Now that the array flags had stopped flashing, it meant that no one was attacking them.
”Could the Sect Head have returned?” Su Zi’An said emotionally.
Dou Hualong promptly replied, ”It must definitely be Big Brother. Only Big Brother’s return would stop those pricks from attacking our Ping Fan Immortal School.”
”Right, Master must have returned.” Fu Jingfeng was also incomparably excited.
He had deep feelings for Mo Wuji. In his life, he only had three people he was close with: his Master Mo Wuji, his current Senior Aunt Lian Yingxian, and his Grandpa Yu Cheng.
His Grandpa Yu Cheng had left Extreme Glade Sea while his Senior Aunt Lian Yingxian left Ping Fan Immortal School together with Han Qingru. Now, the only person left was Mo Wuji. Naturally, he was extremely happy with Mo Wuji’s return.
…
Very High Heavens.
Compared to the Immortal World, the Laws of the Heaven and Earth here were far more complete. Not only that, the immortal spiritual energy here was not something the Immortal World could hope to compete with.
If Mo Wuji came to the Very High Heavens, he would really think that this was the Southern Heavenly Gate and the Emperor’s Palace [1]. The Very High Heavens’ Dao Emperor Palace was built in a place surrounded by spiritual clouds. Broad steps of white jade extended up towards the palace. By the sides of the staircase, there were immortals holding enforcer weapons.
Zi Changluo wore a crown on his head. At this moment, he had an overcast expression as he sat at the highest point of the Dao Emperor Hall. At the two sides of the hall, were also two rows of immortals. Anyone that could stand in this hall was either an Immortal Emperor or exceptional characters.
Because of Zi Changluo’s expression, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and heavy.
”Dao Emperor, Ping Lishang’s soul tablet has shattered. It’s possible that he might have met that expert that once stayed in the Immortal World. According to the words of that person from the Jin Clan, that expert should be from above.” Feeling the tense atmosphere, a yellow-bearded man beside Zi Changluo said softly.
Zi Changluo had two loyal followers. One was Ping Lishang, while the other was this yellow-bearded man, Gongshu Shipan. Those years ago, Gongshu Xiang, the person who chased Yan Yuerong out of the Human Race was this Gongshu Shipan’s nephew.
Zi Changluo waved his hand, ”No, that expert has already left the Immortal World. There’s no doubt about that. I’m definitely right about this. Lishang’s death should be due to another reason…”
After a short pause, Zi Changluo suddenly stood up. His voice was lined with slight madness as he cried, ”Men, go to the Soul Seal Prison. Bring the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin, over. No, Shipan, you personally bring Zhu Yin over.”
