Chapter 1457: Chapter 687: In the Mortal World (2)

Tang Xian’er hesitated for a moment, glancing at the women and children, the elderly and the weak, holding babies just like her.

"Then...what about them?"

Tie Dan turned his head to look at her,

"What? You want to surrender on your own, or sacrifice yourself to distract the Mystic Sect?

There’s no need for that, dying would be for nothing. The Mystic Sect would never let those of the Divine Sect go."

Tang Xian’er glanced at the child in her arms,

"But we..."

Tie Dan naturally knew what she wanted to say,

"Indeed, I am Mystic Sect too, but I am from the New Mystic Sect, and they are Old Mystic Sect. Our rules are different.

You’re a rural mixed cultivator. How many mountain men have you seen? You simply don’t understand what kind of people the Old Mystic Sect really are.

There are indeed many mortals in the world who regard the Mystic Sect mountain people as the righteous path, even willingly offering tributes and seeking protection in the mountains. Because mountain men most of the time can’t be bothered with meddling in the calamities of the mortal world, out of sight, out of mind. They won’t harm people like the Immortal Palace, occasionally coming down the mountain to help slay a demon or execute a monster. In a certain sense, they are indeed acting chivalrously.

But let me tell you, essentially, in the eyes of the mountain men, mortals are no different from demons, they are merely a bit more like worthless demons and monsters.

Yes, a person is a ghost, a person is a demon, a person is a monster.

Momentary weakness does not equate to righteousness, humility in person does not equate to kindness. The greatest killers are humans, the greatest evildoers are humans, the greatest evil thoughts belong to humans. Now that the Mystic Sect is massacred and its Daoist inheritance dug-up, which one of them is a demon? Aren’t they all humans?

Once you’re in the game, and chosen a side in this Mystic Demon war, then in the eyes of the Mystic Sect, humans are no longer humans, but demons wrapped in human skin. Killing people is equivalent to executing demons.

So the Mystic Sect will not be lenient just because the opponent was once human. On the contrary, mountain men hold grudges the most. For these demons who have worshipped the Divine Lord, offered blood sacrifices, and pledged allegiance to the Divine Sect, they are surely to be rooted out and slaughtered swiftly.

After all, can they be allowed only to act on the first of the month and others not allowed to act on the fifteenth? Pursuing and besieging for five hundred years, exterminating them all, wiping out entire families, even prying away their mountains, now coming out to settle the score, blood is what they are going to repay with. This battle won’t be decided until one side is crushed to dust and their spirits executed.

The struggle over Daoist inheritance is so fierce, the Mystic Demon war so cruel. You should blame that altar master for misleading a group of mortals into the cult without clarifying who they have offended."

Tang Xian’er stared at the sword,

"So, you’re making it clear to me? Worship you as a master, later have to kill, have to slay demons, have to execute monsters, have to be cold and ruthless, have to eliminate completely?"

Tie Dan,

"You got it wrong, fighting a Nascent Soul trash to this extent, you’re at best entry-level, not qualified to worship me as a master yet."

Tang Xian’er almost choked.

Tie Dan,

"Moreover, I don’t need you to kill for me, people I can kill myself, demons I can execute myself, I don’t need anyone’s help. I just ask you to recognize early on what kind of world this is, and who are these people around.

Grunt, worrying about and sympathizing with this one and that one during a killing calamity, at your age, don’t be too naive anymore. You don’t really believe that the grand Divine Sect, the largest sect under heaven, needs you to protect them, do you?

Ha ha, with your trifling skills, give it up, everyone faces their own calamity, has their own fate, later don’t be indecisive and distracted, there won’t be a second frog to save you!"

"Hiss..."

Tang Xian’er really wished to toss this babbling sword into the trash, but after all, she wasn’t that young girl who went up the mountain to pick sweet melons anymore, she naturally understood that to survive in such a world now, she had only to wield the sword in her hand and slash forward all the way.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

"Boom!"

A Shenxiao struck down like thunder, a lightning bolt pierced through the clouds, fell directly onto the Divine Temple’s roof! Instantly smashed the statue of the Ghost-faced God Master! The entire Divine Temple was engulfed in raging flames! Like a bright torch, it gave off the final signal!

The Great Array is broken, calamity is upon us!

"Swish swish swish!"

Countless Black Banner Magic Flags descended from the sky, each banner towering tens of feet high, like massive walls flying down! Suddenly, it was like great gates crashing down! Surrounding the town on all sides! Instantly blocking out the sun and sky! Completely sealing off all escape routes! Pressing the world into boundless darkness!

Indeed! Demon Suppression and Soul Suppressing! God-slaying Banner! Today don’t expect a single living person! Not even a dead ghost to escape the town! All must die!!

"Holy Fire!!!"

Yet just at this critical moment, a Candidacy Saintess led the charge with her followers, carrying a Red Flag, leading the assault! Her body ignited! Transforming into a bright white flame! Crashed into the black banner!

"Boom!!!"

At this instant, the human-shaped flame burst forth with brilliance like the morning sun, directly blowing open a massive gap in the wall of black banners, burning a blazing path of dazzling light!

"Shining!!!"

After a brief silence, a tsunami-like roar surged! Tens of thousands of cult members from the Divine Sect launched a charge, rushing towards the path to life opened by the Saintess!

"Divine Power~Vast! Holy Fire~Surging! Burn my hot blood! Blaze my true self!"

"Supreme——!"

Even though the Divine Sect’s Protective Army had indeed lost command temporarily, falling into a brief bewilderment and chaos due to the altar master’s foolish death, nonetheless witnessing the Saintess’s sacrifice, the tall ones couldn’t possibly shrink away at the back!
