Peerless Martial God - C85 Life and Death Decision

Beside him, Chu Qing and the others also followed closely behind him. They stepped out together and walked towards the direction of the center of the Platform of Life and Death.    

This group of people were all very powerful. Every step they took seemed slow, but it covers more than a dozen meters. Within a few breaths, they had reached the highest point of the Platform of Life and Death.    

They strolled leisurely, as if wandering in a garden.    

“All disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect, listen up.”    

Duan Tianlang’s domineering gaze swept across the crowd as he loudly said, “I, Duan Tianlang, come here to choose outstanding disciples on behalf of His Majesty, for the strongest academy established by His Majesty himself in the Imperial City, the Snow Moon Holy Academy. However, your Sect Master rejected my request and defied the orders of his Majesty. Now His Majesty is very angry. He wants the Cloud Sea Sect to be removed from the Snow Moon Kingdom!”    

Duan Tianlang’s voice shook the hearts of the crowd. He wanted the Cloud Sea Sect to be removed from the Snow Moon Sect?    

There was only one way to eliminate such a large sect, and that was…Massacre.    

These people were here to exterminate the Cloud Sea Sect!    

The panic in the crowd grew even stronger. No, they had come to the Cloud Sea Sect to pursue their martial arts and become experts. How could they have died for no apparent reason and be killed unjustly?    

“However, His Majesty is kind enough to give you all a chance. The core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples, those who have their names engraved on the stone walls, as long as you are willing to leave the Cloud Sea Sect and join the Snow Moon Holy Academy and other sects, can be saved from death.”    

Duan Tianlang spoke again, causing the crowd’s heads to explode and become numb and indifferent.    

You want them to leave the Cloud Sea Sect? Furthermore, only the genius disciples who were ranked at the top and had their name engraved on the stone wall would possess the qualification to leave?    

Those who were unable to engrave their names onto the stone wall instantly felt chills run through their bodies. Even their choice to live was taken away.    

On the grandstand, Nangong Ling and the rest all had livid expressions on their faces. Destroying their sect? These people were here to join hands and wipe out the Cloud Sea Sect.    

The Cloud Sea Sect had been around for a thousand years. All the parties had always been conflicting with each other, but none of them had crossed the line. There wouldn’t be any large-scale battle, but this time, it was an earth-shattering one.    

The Bright Moon Sect, the Icy Snow Mountain Villa, the Myriad Beasts Sect, and the Heavenly Wolf King all came together, wanting to eliminate the Cloud Sea Sect.    

Obviously, it was the intervention of the royal family together with the interference of the Heavenly Wolf King, that broke the balance of power between the various sects. The Cloud Sea Sect had become a sacrifice.    

“Why did you choose our Cloud Sea Sect?”    

Nangong Ling’s expression was incomparably cold as he stared intently at Duan Tianlang, wishing that he could eat his blood and flesh. Could it be that the thousand-year-old sect was going to be destroyed under his management?    

“Nangong Ling, don’t you understand?” Duan Tianlang sneered.    

“If you were to say that it was because I rejected your son, let alone that I didn’t believe you, I’m afraid that you wouldn’t believe it yourself. Because, Bright Moon Sect and Icy Snow Mountain Villa will definitely reject such an absurd request either.”    

Nangong Ling looked at Chu Qing and Han Xuetian.    

“Haha, you’re right. Sect Master Chu and the others also refused at first, but when I told them I would use the entire Cloud Sea Sect as compensation, they immediately agreed.”    

Duan Tianlang’s indifferent voice caused the hearts of the crowd to tremble. He gave the Cloud Sea Sect away to the other sects.    

“I guessed so.” Nangong Ling let out a pitiful smile. After knowing the reason why Duan Tianlang and the others had come here, Nangong Ling had already started guessing why Chu Qing and the others were here too.    

“As for the reason you mentioned, it’s very simple. Your Cloud Sea Sect is the weakest and therefore is the easiest to deal with. As long as other sect masters sends their experts to assist me in this operation, the Cloud Sea Sect will be destroyed in the blink of an eye.”    

“You’re lying.”    

A voice suddenly rang out, and in the midst of the crowd, a graceful silhouette slowly walked up the platform, showing an extremely cold and hateful gaze filled with hatred.    

“Duan Tianlang, you’re lying.”    

Liu Fei’s pretty face appeared exceptionally pale at this moment. Her body was gently undulating due to anger.    

“You chose the Cloud Sea Sect because my father. Duan Tianlang, the true reason is that you were jealous of my father, jealous of his strength, and jealous of his talent. Therefore, you chose the Cloud Sea Sect to take action. Moreover, you tricked the Red Blood Cavalry here to frame my father into injustice. You want him to suffer.”    

Liu Fei’s gaze was filled with hatred as she said coldly, “Duan Tianlang, such a vicious heart, such a ruthless method.”    

Her words shocked many people. In the Cloud Sea Sect, only a small number of people knew of Liu Fei’s identity and who Liu Fei’s father was. According to Liu Fei, her father seemed to be a very extraordinary person, and even the Snow Moon Kingdom’s famous Heavenly Wolf King, Duan Tianlang, was jealous.    

Also, the Red Blood Cavalry was the army of Liu Fei’s father?    

“Divine Arrow, Liu Canglan.”    

A name came to many people’s mind. In the Snow Moon Kingdom, if there was one person whose radiance was even more dazzling than the Heavenly Wolf King and whose glory spilled across the entire territory, then this person must be the Divine Arrow, Liu Canglan.    

The Divine Arrow, Liu Canglan, had once led a few thousand men to guard the city for ten days, killing tens of thousands of enemies and saving a city’s people.    

The Divine Arrow, Liu Canglan, had once run into a troop of thousands of people with an ancient arrow and a horse by himself. He chased after the leader of the enemy for thousands of miles and kill him with one shoot. When Liu Canglan came back, he was covered by blood and fell into coma.    

Divine Arrow were known by the world to be Snow Moon’s guardian. The name of Red Blood Cavalry could scare the shit of their enemies.    

What made the people of Cloud Sea Sect feel incomparably honored was that the Divine Arrow Liu Canglan was a member of their Cloud Sea Sect. Even if he was working for the Imperial Family, he had always been the pride of the Cloud Sea Sect.    

Liu Fei was also surnamed Liu. Her father was undoubtedly that one that countless people admired.    

“Fei, why would you think of your Uncle Duan like this? Your father and I are brothers, and friends. I’m nothing but proud for the honor and victories he had won. Why would I be jealous?”    

Duan Tianlang lightly smiled as he shook his head. He looked at Liu Fei with a gaze of love. His hypocrisy caused others to feel terrified.    

Since he and Liu Fei’s father were best friends, it was strange that he told Nangong Ling earlier to blame Liu Canglan for the appearance of the cavalry. He was so hypocritical that it makes people feel disgusted.    

“You and my father are brothers, are best friends? Then why do you still want to wipe out the Cloud Sea Sect, the sect my father and I belong to?”    

Liu Fei looked at Duan Tianlang’s hypocritical face and felt a wave of disgust.    

“Fei, this is His Majesty’s decision. What I do is merely for the sake of Snow Moon Kingdom, without any selfish motives involved. Besides, the Cloud Slayer Sect is getting worse every day, and it will only mislead the younger generation. For those who really have talent, it would be better to let us take them away and give them more superior cultivation conditions.”    

“Well, I’m sure they’ll be happy to do it. If you don’t believe me, just watch.”    

Duan Tianlang’s fake smile was always on the corners of his mouth as he turned around. When his gaze faced the crowd, his expression instantly turned ice-cold.    

“What I said just now were still valid. Those whose names are engraved on the stone walls of ranking, and who are willing to leave the Cloud Sea Sect for good, now go immediately to the Red Blood Legion. Remember, you don’t have much time. ”    

As Duan Tianlang finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became incomparably solemn. People in the crowd had all kinds of thoughts.    

There were also quite a few people who cast their gazes in the direction of the spectator stands, looking at the sect masters and the elders.    

“Whoever wants to go, go ahead. We won’t keep any of those in the Cloud Sea Sect.”    

Elder Bei suddenly opened his mouth and waved his hand, causing everyone’s eyes to glaze over.    

“Elder Bei.”    

Nangong Ling’s eyes revealed a puzzled expression.    

“Master, please respect their decision.”    

Elder Bei said sadly. Those whose names were placed on the stone wall all had good talent. It was not easy for them to achieve what they had accomplished so far, and they might have to go even further in the future. If they died like this, it would be a pity.    

“Alright.” Nangong Ling knew that Elder Bei was very kind. He did not refute him and just nodded his head.    

“Thank you, Sect Master and Elder.”    

Seeing Nangong Ling nod, someone immediately spoke up. His body trembled as he ran towards the direction of the Red Blood Legion.    

With someone taking the lead, many people started to move. In just a short period of time, there were already hundreds of people rushing to the Red Blood Cavalry, and the number was still increasing, even surpassing the number of names on the stone walls of the outer, inner and core courts. It was obvious that many people were trying to make up their numbers in order to survive.    

“Stop, this is the end.” Duan Tianlang waved his hand, and a trace of a unique smile flashed through his eyes. He was extremely complacent.    

“Fei, did you see that? This is human nature. I give them a better chance. They all cherish it greatly, and are willing to betray the Cloud Sea Sect.”    

On the other hand, Nangong Ling’s expression was the exact opposite. He seemed to be very lonely.    

“Lin Feng, you’re right. When the sect disciples are weak, the sect doesn’t respect them enough. Once they have strength, how can they respect the sect and serve the sect?”    

Nangong Ling’s gaze fell on Lin Feng who was on the Platform of Life and Death. His voice was filled with sorrow. Even though he was the one who gave the pass, his heart still ached when he saw so many people betraying without any hesitation.    

A moment of life or death could test the loyalty of people. These disciples had no feelings whatsoever for the Cloud Sea Sect.    

“Unfortunately, you’ve appeared too late. If you had been born a few decades earlier, perhaps this position of sect master would have been yours. Or perhaps you’ve already accomplished something as grand as Canglan.”    

Lin Feng was expressionless. He did not expect that such a situation would occur.    

Towards Nangong Ling, Lin Feng felt some admiration. Regardless how he treated himself, at the very least, Nangong Ling served the sect whole-heartedly. He always put the sect’s interest in front of everything.
