Chapter 583: Ingrates
The pressure released by the devils made the entire Yanzhou Kingdom fall into a state if panic. Such powerlessness was like meat waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
Since the Third Holy Maiden empathised the command to capture Yanzhou Kingdom, among the devil army dispatched, there consisted of thirty Sword Deities and three thousand Sword Saints and Sword Venerable.
Such a combination was comparable to a third of the strength of the high-level powerhouses of Tianling Continent.
Although the overall strength of Yanzhou Kingdom had improved a lot in the past two years, but their foundations was still much inferior to those from the superpowers kingdoms of other regions.
Even a superpower kingdom wouldnt be able to last two hours in the hands of such an assembled devil army, let alone Yanzhou who didnt even have a Sword Deity. Yanzhous highest cultivation base was Lou Zhan Tian, who had just broken through to Sword Saint not long ago, but such strength was truly not enough in front of the enemy.
Are you going to surrender the city and surrender, or will we be personally extracting and refining yours souls? The commander of this devil army said in an arrogant manner.
His voice spread throughout the entire Yanzhou Imperial Capital, making the people of Yanzhou tremble. If their soul was extracted and refined, that meant forever being unable to reincarnate.
If we surrender the city and surrender, then could you let go of the people of the city? In Yun Tian Chens heart, in addition to powerlessness, there was only despair.
If the surrendering of the city would allow most of the people of Yanzhou Imperial City to survive, then he would rather bear this infamy.
Haha, you think youre also worthy to make conditions?
The commander of the devil race said disdainfully: If it werent for the Third Holy Maidens instructions to turn Yanzhou Kingdom into hell, and all those related to Lou Mu Yan must have their souls extracted and refined, as if wed bother. Wed have directly slaughtered you all in the city.
Hearing his words, the people present were shocked and turned their attention to Lou Zhan Tian now and again.
Many of those gazes contained complexity and resentment.
So it turned out that Lou Mu Yan had offended the devil races Third Holy Maiden to attract such a huge devil army. Many people had an indescribable resentment against her rising in their hearts.
Lou Mu Yan probably heard this news and had fled, and now theyre the ones in trouble. Why let them bear this burden!
Lou Zhan Tian naturally noticed the many resentful gazes. He closed his eyes, looked at the devil commander in front and said: I am Lou Mu Yans grandfather. Lou Mu Yan is of our Lou Clan. If you need anything, come for our Lou Clan, it has nothing to do with others.
Hearing the old mans words many felt better but some from the Lou Clan wanted to quit.
Patriarch, why should we suffer because of Lou Mu Yans fault? Were just a branch of the Lou Clan. An elderly man retorted on behalf of many people of the Lou Clan.
Humph, then dont take advantage of the resources that Yaner brought to the Lou Clan!
Lou Mu Yans second paternal uncle sneered and said: When youre enjoying the resources, youre all so spirited one after the other, more than anyone else. Now that youre in a life and death situation with the Lou Clan, you want to get rid of all your responsibilities. Theres no such thing as the best of both worlds here.
Even if we enjoy the resources, but compared to the main family, its also pitifully less. Dont make it so high sounding. Since thats the case, then well leave the Lou Clan now. The person said indignantly.
Lou Zhan Tian glanced at the man coldly. He used to think that one Lou word wasnt divided into outsiders. Ever since Lou Mu Yan siblings joined the Sects and they enjoyed abundant reserves, the main family also raised branch families now.
But who expected that, in general, they said such nice words, but when it was really time to meet life and death together, it was when the true hearts of people could be seen.
Some people were like what Yaner said, unfamiliar ingrates who couldnt be fed full all their lives.
Alright then, all those who want to cut ties with the main family stand out today, and Yaners matter will definitely not involve any one of you. Lou Zhan Tian said sternly and righteously.
The people from the devil race exchanged glances, but the devil race commander watched the Lou Clans internal fight with great interest. Either way, they were all dying people, so it didnt matter much if they watches the drama of their internal conflict.
After Lou Zhan Tian finished speaking, sure enough, some people walked out and broke ties with the main family.
With a closer look, Lou Zhan Tian discovered that nearly half of the people had birthed such thoughts, and even some of the familys direct lineages, who they had focused on raising, silently stood on the side.
Of course, not all Lou family members were cowards.
More than half of the people still stood on Lou Zhan Tians side and wanted to live and die with the Lou Clan.
Watching the Lou Clan divide their family, the devils didnt stop it, and the thoughts of the other distinguished clans also peaked. Many immediately jumped out to condemn the Lou Clan, saying that Lou Mu Yan harmed people deeply.
Yun Tian Chen and Ancestor Yun looked at each other and both saw the others struggle.
In the end, both of them revealed firmness and Ancestor Yun nodded to Yun Tian Chen.
Do you all think that if you disassociate from the Lou Clan, the devils would let Yanzhou go? Yun Tian Chen swept his gaze sharply over these restless people, The devil race wants to capture the entire Tianling Continent, and they attacked Yanzhou not solely because of their anger towards Lou Mu Yan.
Have you all forgotten that so many kingdoms had already been captured by the devils? Which city isnt like in a purgatory-like existence? The final result of many of the surrendered kingdoms still couldnt be changed from the fate of becoming food for their Yin Soul Beasts.
He said righteously: Since death cannot be avoided, could you not die with dignity?
He sure understood now. The devil race commander had been playing them like ants and had no intention of letting any one of them go.
The other occupied territories were actually a lesson for them. Why should they fight with hopeless hopes and only increase the enemys amusement.
Hearing Yun Tian Chens words, many people were stunned and suddenly fe;t a chill when they remembered the tragic scenes of other occupied kingdoms.
Thats right! Even if there was no Lou Mu Yan, the devils will surely capture Yanzhou Kingdom. By then, it was impossible to let them go anyway.
But to say that they didnt have any complains about Lou Mu Yan would be a lie.
You shouldnt complain about Lou Mu Yan. Without her, the imperial family of Yanzhou Kingdom and the various clans wouldnt be able to develop this far either. Yun Tian Chens words were truly from the heart.
A superior of a distinguished clan snorted coldly: So what if we developed to this point? Either way were still being implicated by her. If we knew the result would be like this, wed rather be as it was.
You Yun Tian Chen was furious and just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Lou Zhan Tian.
Alright now, whats the use of arguing like this? Lou Zhan Tian looked at the superiors of the various families behind him and said: If you want to break away from our Lou Clan, then hurry up and step out. If the devils really did implicate you all due to their anger towards Yaner, then it wouldnt have anything to do with you all.
Hearing his words, there were many distinguished clans who stepped out and drew a clear line with the Lou Clan.
However, just as there was an opposing side, there naturally were people who defended Lou Mu Yan and the Lou Clan. After all, there were more that cultivated the Path who knew to repay gratitude than those ungrateful ingrates.
Lou Zhan Tian noted them all down.
Have you finished fighting internally? The commander of the devil race said, teasing after watching their drama: We never said that even if you drew a clear line with Lou Mu Yan, wed spare your life. Your entire Tianling Continents cultivators are all food for our Yin Soul Beasts.
As food, do you feel that youre qualified to question or choose?
As soon as the words of the devil commander fell, everyones expressions paled. In particular, the people who had fallen out with the Lou Clan earlier who finally had a glimmer of hope now had it deeply cut off.
The devil race commander enjoyed their desperate appearance very much and waved to the people behind him, ordering: Kill all of them and leave no one.
