Chapter 727 - 321
Xu Guang finished speaking in a chilling tone, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he looked at the surrounding elders and disciples of the Holy Land of Tianya.There were many reasons to kill Mu Yusheng: for Han Wangshan, for himself, for Yan Zhen.
Although he did not understand the relationship between Han Wangshan and Yan Zhen, he felt obliged to do this for Yan Zhen because of their shared bond.
Even if it meant becoming an enemy of a Holy Land, he would not hesitate.
Those around him looked at Xu Guang with obvious hatred.
The murderous aura emanating from Xu Guang seemed almost tangible.
Some impulsive disciples, stirred by this killing intent, broke out in cold sweat and regained a bit of rationality.
Xu Guang bowed slightly in the direction of the Holy Land of Tianya.
This was a gesture of respect for the former glory of the Holy Land of Tianya.
But in the eyes of many disciples, this appeared more like provocation.
Their faces showed even more anger.
However, they were no longer as impulsive as before.
With Xu Guang’s strength, there was no one in the Holy Land who could easily subdue him except for a few old monsters.
The Supreme Elder, with his hair and beard all white, walked steadily through the air, intercepting the disciples and Xu Guang.
He first looked at Xu Guang complexly, pausing especially on the gray-black pattern on his wrist for a moment.
"Young friend, your youthful spirit really reminds me of the bygone days of great heroes. The matter of today will be remembered by the Holy Land of Tianya."
Xu Guang clasped his fists, saying no more.
There was no point in saying more.
Saint Zixiao landed beside Xu Guang, ready to fend off the old monster if he suddenly attacked.
"You should leave; the Holy Land of Tianya does not welcome you."
Xu Guang turned and silently left.
He slain Mu Yusheng, a figure worthy of the pride of the five realms, and yet there were no cheers or flowers, only the anger and hatred of the Holy Land of Tianya.
...
The elder watched Xu Guang and his companions’ departing backs, then turned, his voice solemn as he faced the outraged disciples.
"The result of this battle is decided. Mu Yusheng’s skills were inferior, leading to his demise; his fate has been sealed."
The cultivators of the Holy Land of Tianya looked disheartened.
"But! Today marks an unprecedented humiliation since the establishment of our Holy Land of Tianya!"
"No matter how despicable Mu Yusheng was, he should not have been killed by Xu Guang, nor should this have happened on our mountain gate..."
His gaze, like lightning, swept over every young face.
"I know your hearts are filled with grief and indignation! But remember the lesson of today’s bloodshed! Remember this searing humiliation!"
"Only power can defend dignity! Only strength can erase disgrace!"
"Starting today, all resources of the Holy Land shall be tilted towards every disciple! The Sutra Pavilion, the Path of Heart Refinement, the Transform into a Dragon Pool... all shall be opened! Sect tasks, rewards shall be doubled!"
"I want each one of you to engrave today’s shame in your hearts! Turn it into the force of cultivation! Turn it into the desire to grow stronger!"
"Once someone among you can hold up the banner of our Holy Land, once someone can achieve the power of the Holy Dao—"
The Supreme Elder’s voice suddenly rose, reverberating like an oath.
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, whoever beheads Xu Guang shall become the Holy Master! Blood debt repaid with blood, to avenge the eternal shame of our Holy Land!!"
"Avenge the shame!!"
"Avenge the shame!!"
"Avenge the shame!!"
The thunderous roar, like a long-suppressed volcano, erupted suddenly, shooting straight into the sky.
Countless disciples, faces flushed, veins popping, punched the air, their eyes burning with the flames of hatred and nearly deranged determination.
Disgrace, like the most intense poison, like the most effective catalyst.
At this moment, it soaked deeply into the bones and divine souls of the new generation of disciples of the Holy Land of Tianya.
And that Supreme Elder, looking at the fervent disciples, had a trace of invisible gloom and helplessness emanate from the depths of his eyes.
The collusion between Mu Yusheng and demons, the harm done to Fish Lotus, ultimately couldn’t be completely covered up.
Shown outwardly, it seemed he quieted the storm caused by Xu Guang and turned Mu Yusheng’s aftermath into external conflict, but in reality...
Once it erupts, the Holy Land of Tianya will undoubtedly be in greater danger.
The mountain wind howled, sweeping up the ashes of the battle between the two heroes earlier.
The wind filled the building.
...
"I sincerely thank the Saint for your assistance today. This kindness, Xu Guang will never forget!"
Xu Guang respectfully saluted Saint Zixiao and then said softly.
Saint Zixiao merely glanced at Xu Guang, "A favor."
After witnessing the battle between Xu Guang and Mu Yusheng, Saint Zixiao no longer viewed Xu Guang purely as the Heavenly Martial True King’s direct disciple, and in her eyes...
There was inexplicably a trace of seeing him as an equal.
This was quite rare.
In her heart, she already acknowledged that Xu Guang would be an existence on the same level as her in the future.
Xu Guang did not hesitate.
"If there are orders in the future, Xu Guang will surely go through fire and water!"
Upon hearing this, Saint Zixiao said no more, only glanced at Yan Ruge and turned to leave.
At the moment they walked out of the Holy Land of Tianya, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that Xu Guang’s actions are indeed somewhat audacious.
To kill in a Holy Land, to execute their Saint Heir under the gaze of the masses.
It sounds like a fantasy.
"Brother Xu, your actions today are akin to Yan Zhen of the Guang’an Temple who stormed the Ye family in fury. But he did it for a woman, and you did it for a man."
Jin Buhuan joked with a smile.
Xu Guang smiled slightly.
"Come, let’s drink! After witnessing Brother Xu’s divine might, my heart longs for it; we’ll not leave until drunk!"
Jin Buhuan called out loudly.
Bai Xiaozhu also chimed in, "Alright!"
...
In nature, time itself does not have its own order.
It is only through the continuation of life, from birth to death, from youth to old age, that time assumes a human-determined sequence.
