From Wang Lu's point of view, there were some problems with the previous generation of Spirit Sword Sect Elders.
Clues could be seen from the management trainee program — it was rare for a poor and weak sect to be able to gather so many talented disciples at a certain point in time. If it were any other sect, they wouldn't even have enough time to take good care of them, but they had the guts to throw all their disciples into the Savage Land to experience the test of life and death. It was like pulling seedlings to help them grow, beautifying them into jade that wasn't cut and polished … To put it nicely, this was ambition and full of courage. To put it bluntly, this was simply disregarding human life.
Of course, considering that Wang Lu himself had also used the Heaven Burning Blood Technique to develop the Wisdom Sect, he would not comment on the fact that Wang Lu treated human life like grass. However, there was no doubt that in the eyes of this generation of Spirit Sword Sect Elders, the lives of the disciples were not the first priority. In contrast, revitalizing the sect was the real core task.
Revitalizing the sect was, of course, a good thing. From the perspective of the manager, as long as the pros and cons were weighed, it was understandable to pay a certain price in exchange for the success of the sect. As for the failure of the management trainee program, the Elders could not be blamed for the strategic mistake — who could have expected that the Savage Land, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, would suddenly have a great demon king from an unknown world?
However, at this moment, witnessing the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect who were like moths flying into the flame to patch the Heaven Deficiency, as well as the last moment of the great Spirit Sword Sect's heroic words of immortality, Wang Lu's view on them was completely clear.
This group of guys was not just a problem, they were basically sick. Perhaps it was because they grew up in the era when the survival pressure of the Lingjian School was the heaviest, and the situation was the most difficult, so their dedication to revitalizing the sect had reached the point of resentment. They did things regardless of the cost, regardless of the consequences, and completely lacked foresight.
First of all, they concealed the change in the Savage Land. The Elders obviously did not want the Wanxian League to know that the management trainee program of the Lingjian School had released a fierce beast from the demon world, and they intended to deal with it by themselves. By the time they discovered that the opponent's strength was far beyond their imagination, and that the crisis brought about wasn't something that the Blue River Region alone could withstand, it was already too late.
As for sacrificing the lives of all the elders to make up for the lack of heaven, it seemed solemn and stirring, but in fact, it was without a plan. Before the crisis was over, if they all died, who would shelter Ouyang Shang and the other disciples? Did he expect them to fend for themselves? The last sentence about being immortal was even more inhuman. The sect existed because of the people. If the people were all dead, what was the use of leaving an empty reputation?
But no matter what, he was already dead, and there was no point in whipping his corpse. The living only needed to think about how to survive. For example, Ouyang Shang and the others had to consider how to survive under the wrath of the Demon King.
It was not that there was no chance.
The news that the Lingjian School's Elder Team had been completely annihilated would soon be known by others. After all, it was one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League. It was impossible to hide the fact that the higher-ups of the Lingjian School had disappeared. Furthermore, the disciples who stayed behind to guard the school did not receive any orders to conceal the news.
Once the outside world learned of the news, there would naturally be foreign aid. This process would not be too long, at most a few months or a year.
However, for the golden generation, who had to survive in a desperate situation, one more day was a great torture.
The crack in the sky had disappeared, the demons and monsters no longer appeared, and even the black tide had been dispersed. However, the demons in the Savage Land were still wreaking havoc. Although the power of the Demon King, who was severely injured by Azure Dragon, was greatly reduced, he still had an overwhelming advantage against a group of disciples. Moreover, the Demon King had an unusual obsession with the golden generation.
For a demon who volunteered to open the passage to another world to invade Nine Regions, since he could not achieve his biggest goal, then what he could do was to kill the talents of Nine Regions as much as possible to weaken the strength of Nine Regions. Under such a situation, the golden generation suffered heavy casualties.
It was so heavy that Wang Lu could not even look straight at it!
In the time-travel timeline, because of Wang Lu's activity in the desert, the Demon King's plan to open the crack in the sky with the black tide was directly cut off, so that the story directly entered the second stage. Later, Wang Lu worked hard for three years and finally perished together with the Demon King. Although he sacrificed himself, he kept most of the others. Everything seemed to be very smooth. The tragedy of a hundred years ago was just a heavy story, and there was no intuitive understanding.
But now, there was.
In the time-travel timeline, Ouyang Shang and the others failed to stop the Resuscitation of the Demon King in the desert. They did not even fully realize the hidden crisis in the desert and let ten years slip away. Thus, the Demon King completely recovered. After a fierce battle, the demonic wolf Fenrir was killed. In despair, only a trivial fire was left, and the Demon King was left with an injury that could not be recovered for the rest of his life.
Then the Demon King absorbed the huge magic power of Fenrir, and with the black tide, tore the sky and opened the passage. During this period, Ouyang Shang and the others tried to stop it, but it was useless. They wanted to send a message back to the sect, but the way back was blocked. Fortunately, there were Elders of Spirit Sword Sect who were good at divination. After noticing the abnormality, they led the crowd to come, so that everything was not irredeemable.
However, the golden generation was already irredeemable.

In the valley of the Northern Mountain, two girls in the uniform of Lingjian School were cautiously moving forward in the valley. Their clothes were ragged and their appearance was in a mess, but their eyes were firm like well-tempered steel.
It was He Yue and Qing Shuang. He Yue walked in front and was observing a towering ancient tree with rapt attention. She stretched out her hand to stroke the rough trunk, and after a long while, she frowned and said softly to the person beside her.
"The marks left here three days ago have completely disappeared … The demon race has been here, we have to move our position."
Behind He Yue, a slender girl with slightly immature eyebrows said in surprise, "We have to move again? No, it's not easy for us to find a broken spiritual vein, which can barely be used for cultivation. "
"Qing Shuang, that's enough! Is cultivation more important than life? "He Yue raised her eyebrows, which made the girl named Qing Shuang shut her mouth.
The next moment, He Yue suddenly trembled, her face turned unnaturally red, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
"Senior Sister!?"
"The tree is poisonous, I was careless for a moment …" He Yue reluctantly finished her sentence, and then her right arm melted like a burning candle.
He Yue was obviously no stranger to this scene. She smiled sadly and put her hand on Qing Shuang's shoulder. The King Pill in her Jade Mansion fiercely rotated, and her original true qi was continuously transmitted out.
"I'll leave everything to you … Go find Big Brother, and then survive, including my share."
Qing Shuang held back her tears, nodded firmly, and then operated the King Pill to accept He Yue's true qi.
The movements of the two seemed to have been practiced many times. After a while, He Yue had been turned into a pool of dirty blood by the red blood poison. Qing Shuang knelt on the ground and cried silently.
But after a moment, Qing Shuang wiped away her tears and stood up.

On a gravel hill, Liu Sandao was bathed in blood. In front of him, the corpses of the demons piled up into a hill, but more demons rushed up without hesitation. Those demons were not of the royal family, but some cannon fodder level servants. Their strength was weak, but they won in number.
Liu Sandao was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Not long after, his sword defense was broken, and those beast-type demons rushed forward to bite his body.
"Hahaha, you bastards want to eat me, then I'll let you eat to your heart's content today!"
With that, the King Pill exploded, and the burst of sword qi swept in all directions. Hundreds and thousands of demons were stirred into meat sauce, and Liu Sandao himself did not even have his bones left.
After Liu Sandao's death, a small flying sword, carrying a flickering ball of light, wobbled towards a certain place.
—
This was a deep underground cave. Three disciples of Spirit Sword Sect guarded the entrance of the cave, stepping on the three individual sword array, struggling to resist the siege of thousands of demons outside the cave.
Before long, the three of them felt that their magical power was exhausted, and it was difficult for them to continue.
One of them clenched his teeth and said, "Wang Chenye, Xie Mingxian, you go first!"
"... Understood."
Then, the palms of the three people gently touched each other. The leader spat out a ball of light from his palm, and then he grinned.
"Remember to help me find a reliable person."
"Mm, rest assured, Senior Brother Song."
After many times of sacrifice, the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect were no longer unfamiliar with life and death separation. Wang Chenye and Xie Mingxian didn't hesitate too much and just turned around to leave. Then Senior Brother Song turned around, and the King Pill in his Jade Mansion burst into pieces, which turned into thousands of flying swords and stirred up a bloody storm outside the cave.

Next to a crystal-like calm lake, Xie Mingxian helped Wang Chenye walk slowly. While walking, he used the moonlight reflected on the water to heal his injury. However, it didn't take long for Wang Chenye to shake his head.
"... Junior Brother Xie, I don't think I can make it, don't waste your energy to heal me."
"No! You've saved me so many times, how can I just watch you die? "
"Consider it as my atonement … If it weren't for me and Zhang Sheng, how could these things happen? You guys were implicated by us … Of course, I'm still better than that kid Zhang Sheng. He's too unreasonable, he ruined the big thing for a woman. Forget it, Senior Brother always says that when a person is about to die, his words are kind, so I'll say something nice. Mingxian, you must live. "
With that, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xie Mingxian's chest.
"Mingxian, there are some words that I actually wanted to say a long time ago …"
"Mm, I'm listening."
"There's actually a reason why I haven't had a girlfriend all these years."
"…"
"Hahaha, look at how scared you are. Here, Senior Brother Song's belongings, oh, and mine, I'll give them to you."
With that, an unquestionable warmth flowed into his Jade Mansion. Xie Mingxian opened his mouth and said with a trembling voice, "Who are you going to give them to?"
"Who else is left?" Wang Chenye's eyes dimmed. "Everyone is almost dead … Oh, right, give them to Xiao Wu. Big Brother has always doted on her. "
"Wang Wu? But she … "
"Big Brother likes her so much, there must be a reason. Let's believe in Big Brother."
"... Mm."
—
"... In the end, are we the only ones left?"
Ouyang Shang smiled wryly.
"Zhang Sheng, Feng Yin, Liu Xian, Fang He, Zhou Ming, Lu Li, Guanhai, Wang Wu … It's just the few of you."
"But, it's enough."
"Next, I'm going to do one thing, but before that, I need you to promise me one thing."
