Chapter 280 Immense And Enduring
Chapter 280 Immense And Enduring
It was human nature to walk up high, just like martial artists in small places who desperately wanted to enter the East China Sea coast, or even the Haoran Sect.
Currently, the reason why Cang Lan Continent was still able to occupy an important place was because they had retained a large number of martial artist resources, allowing martial artists to be willing to stay in The Haotian Empire. This was what people wanted.
If the martial artists were determined to go to the Nine Firmaments Continent to develop, then the changes in their hearts would be unstoppable.
At that time, there would be no martial artists left, so who would join the army? Twenty out of a hundred martial artists would deal a huge blow to the official military.
The audience continued to ask, "If this can disintegrate the power of a country, isn't that simple? As long as the Profound Sky Sect sends some outstanding disciples to the various continents and defeats the experts of those continents, isn't that enough?"
"Nonsense!" The person next to him scolded, "Otherwise, why do you think that the martial practitioners of each continent are restricted to the martial practitioners within this continent?"
"I'm afraid that the twelve joint examinations of the Haoran Sect are too big. The Heavenly Profound Sect has gotten into a loophole. Otherwise, this situation would not have happened."
"So it's still the Haoran Sect's own problem." Everyone suddenly came to a realization.
If this matter hadn't been handled properly, the Nature Sect would have committed a huge crime!
It was not unknown to the Haojing side that using military drills to delay the twelve joint examinations was a very embarrassing thing.
However, Haojing did not have a choice. Considering the overall situation, even though he knew that he was embarrassed, he still had to do it!
In the sky, Elder Shi Beihong and the military commander were arguing fiercely, but their voices had been cut off, and outsiders could not hear the specifics.
"This won't do!" Elder Shi Beihong said, "If we use such methods to delay the match, even if we win, we will still lose face."
The commander said in a deep voice, "Elder, now is not the time to consider the dignity of the sect, but the future of our The Haotian Empire!"
"If even the Haoran Sect is defeated, then how can our Blue Tide Continent's martial practitioners stay behind!"
Elder Shi Beihong said, "Even so, it is impossible to change the current situation by delaying for a month! All the martial artists who participated in the competition had already cultivated in seclusion before the competition. Their strength is in a saturated state, and a month is simply not enough for them to upgrade by another level."
"One month is not enough, but two months!" The commander said resolutely.
Elder Shi Beihong's heart suddenly sank. He seemed to have realized something, so he fiercely asked, "What if two months isn't enough?"
A cold expression flashed across the commander's face as he said, "At that time, my trump card legion will bloodbath the Haoran Mountain Range! Not a single spectator, including the disciples of the Profound Sky Sect, will be left behind to watch this match!"
Elder Shi Beihong only felt a bone-piercing cold wind blow through his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "You actually dare to harbor such thoughts and place our Haoran Sect in such a place!"
Elder Shi Beihong was furious. He, who had always been gentle, had never shown such an expression before.
The commander said coldly, "There's no harm in pushing the blame onto the Heavenly Devil Religion at that time. No one will know the inside story."
Elder Shi Beihong finally exploded and shouted, "Am I discussing responsibility with you? In your eyes, these innocent martial artists are only tools that can be sacrificed at will?"
No one knew what they were talking about, but Xiang Nan "heard"!
It was because when he was chasing after the black-clothed man, Xiang Nan handed over an eagle eye to Elder Shi Beihong as evidence. At this moment, the eagle eye was in Elder Shi Beihong's sleeve!
After hearing the commander-in-chief's words, Xiang Nan could only feel the thunder rumble!
No wonder he had to use the trump card army! It turned out that they weren't here for a military drill, but were prepared to wash Haoran Mountain with blood!
Haha, ridiculous! This is ridiculous!
Just as the two sides were at a standstill, Elder Shi Beihong and the Commander-in-Chief froze in the sky at the same time.
They felt an external force suddenly enveloping the entire Haoran Mountain Range.
Countless martial artists felt this kind of power, and countless pairs of eyes looked up into the sky at the same time.
In the sky, a large number of floating clouds began to move, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, they condensed into a face that covered the sky and covered the sun!
The face was shaped by white clouds, and its facial features were blurry, but it had a kind of intimidating dignity.
"It's an old man?" Someone cried out in shock.
Upon seeing this face, all the Haoran Sect elders bowed in unison.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Heavens" The audience's brains buzzed as they shouted, "Sect Master Haoran, Old Man Tian Dao!"
Dozens of outer sect disciples, including all the outer sect elders, also stood up in unison with respectful expressions on their faces.
It was this old man! He used his own strength to guard the world of martial arts in the Blue Tide Continent, allowing countless martial artists who looked up to him to stay behind willingly because they knew that there was Zhang Haoran in the Blue Tide Continent!
"Ah!" The Commander-in-Chief was also shocked. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "So it's Senior Heavenly Dao!"
"So … this is our Sect Master." Xiang Nan and the others raised their heads together, their eyes filled with shock.
Not to mention the outer sect, even the people of the Haoran Sect might not be able to see the true appearance of the Heavenly Dao Old Man for the rest of their lives.
"Haha, it's very lively today." Old Man Tiandao smiled faintly. His voice was very gentle, but it reached everyone's ears.
"I already know the situation. From what I've seen, it's better to continue with the twelve joint examinations."
The commander was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He dared to shout at Elder Shi Beihong, but he didn't dare to speak out in front of the Heavenly Dao Old Man no matter what. He could only bitterly say, "Senior Heavenly Dao, this … I'm afraid this …"
Old Man Tian smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'll explain myself to the emperor."
"But … people …" The commander said with difficulty.
The Heavenly Dao Old Man shook his head and said, "People's hearts are not preserved like this. Our Blue Tide Continent has experienced countless hardships and dangers throughout the ages. The reason why we managed to survive is not only because of brutal force."
"If our Haoran Sect loses, it is also the destiny of the heavens. It cannot be violated."
"If that's the case, I'm willing to personally apologize to the Great Emperor and imprison myself for a hundred years to atone for my sins."
"But I believe that our Haoran Sect will not fail so easily."
Hearing this, countless Haoran Sect disciples burst into tears.
The Heavenly Dao Old Man unconditionally chose to trust his own disciples, and he was even more willing to pay the price of a hundred years in prison!
The Commander-in-Chief was truly speechless this time, but in his heart, he admired the Heavenly Dao Old Man to the extreme.
If a sect master was unable to believe even his own disciples, and even his own heart could not be stabilized, how could he be called a sect master?
He used his vast courage to forge the firm hearts of the disciples of the Nature's Nature Sect!
"Haoran Sect!" Someone shouted.
Immediately after, all the people cried out in unison! More than fifty outer sect disciples and countless spectators cheered loudly.
"Haoran Sect!"
"Haoran Sect!"
"Haoran Sect!"
In the sky, the face of the white clouds gradually dissipated, followed by a distant and ancient voice that resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.
"Heavens bless the Azure Water, and it is immense …"
