Rejection
Once Tian Ziming installed the active city lord seal into the barrier, the flowing barrier linked up to all of the citizens. Though citizens were part of it, He Jinglong set it so that Primordial Infant Realm cultivators and above would be the main formation foundations. Each glimmering star in the golden mist emanating represented an individual, and the stronger they were, the brighter their star shone.
Found you. Lets find out who you are.
Tian Ziming flicked a formation line to clasp the brightest star, much to the anticipation of those watching on below. Upon closing in on it, though, the star ejected a lethal attack. While the energy shield he produced before him saved his life, the impact knocked him backwards.
Whyd the star disappear? Who is it in the end?
Scouring the crowd for He Jinglong, Tian Ziming raged, He Jinglong, the seal isnt strong enough. You fumbled with it!
He Jinglong, who had no idea what was going on, noticed all the attention on him. What are you talking about? When did I ever fumble with it?
Stop the pretence. The eight great sects know how much potential a city lord seal possesses, yet the Ascension Realm individual nearly killed me. Is this your scheme?
My scheme? Hahaha, I feel sorry for you.
You deserve to die for fumbling with the seal and sheltering them when youre the lord of the city. Brother Zhuang Hong, Brother Leng, please make an example out of him!
Zhuang Hong voiced, Lord Tian, he is the actual lord, after all. Besides, killing each other in this situation is
Im the current lord; I have to be responsible for all of the lives here. The seals power is limited as he is still the lord. If he opposes us, well all die. Tian Ziming turned to the rest of the people. Since he refuses to let us utilise the seal, we either kill him or wait to be killed.
Unlike the aggressive shouting, demands for He Jinglong to die and spitting most cultivators exhibited, Zhuang Hong and Leng Rufeng took a softer approach, urging, Please take into consideration all of the lives here. Tell him how to use the seals full potential, and we shall spare your life.
Spare my life? Hahaha, whats wrong with this world? So be it. Whats so hard about dying? Ill end myself. He Jinglong summoned his sword and caressed it solemnly. You should be used to slay elemental demons. Today, youll have to try something else and drink my blood.
When will they ever learn that elemental demons wont show them mercy? When will humans ever learn how they should really be? pondered He Jinglong, lifting his gaze to the sky.
Die already!
Stop keeping us here!
Kill yourself already!
Hahaha, are you all so eager to die? mocked He Jinglong, closing his eyes as he brought his sword to his neck.
Suddenly, He Jinglong vanished out of sight as a streak of light flitted past.
It must be that mystery individual!
I knew they were in cahoots!
Find them! thundered Tian Ziming.
Upon arriving in an alley, He Jinglong sunk into the ground, slouching against a wall. He slowly raised his head and smiled bitterly. It was you, wasnt it?
Here. Xiaoshuai passed He Jinglongs sword back. Swords are tools for slaying villains, not yourself.
Youre right.
Youre a good man. Theyre the ones who deserve to die, not you, opined Mu Yu.
A good man? Those are big boots to fill.
When I asked you what youd die if you were me, you answered me.
I apologise. I did not know it was you. I have no place voicing my opinion in your presence.
Because you said you want to save them, I want to save them. Do you still want to save them now?
He Jinglong trained his eyes on the ground. What difference does it make now?
Theyre trying to kill you now. If you still want to save them, Ill save them.
He Jinglong shuddered, looking up to see if he could read Mu Yus expression to no avail. Why? Is my opinion so important? Im but a decrepit old man theyve abandoned. Why are you choosing to trust me?
Because this is your city, you have the right to decide their fate.
It was. Im already finished.
Does that mean youve given up on them? I believe I can fight back using the seal and barrier. If you have given up, so will I.
