Li Chunbo stood upright at the peak of the mountain with his hands behind his back. His gaze was deep and his thoughts were far away. No one knew what he was thinking about.
The members of the Li Clan filed out one by one and stood quietly behind him. Other than the sound of their clothes rustling in the wind, there was no other sound. The line formed by the members of the Li Clan grew longer and longer, and the number of people also grew larger and larger. Everyone was silent and just stood there quietly, staring at the place below.
That place used to be hills, basins, and many undulating mountain ranges. But now, it was a piece of flat land. Just flat land.
Or rather, it was a graveyard!
The vicissitudes of life still needed the baptism of countless years, but the changes here happened in a matter of days. Yesterday's fresh life, today's wisp of smoke.
It was just that simple.
Wind and thunder were still raging in the sky. Hailstones continued to fall rapidly, becoming denser and denser. The size of the hailstones also became bigger and bigger. In the end, hailstones almost the size of a fist came crashing down fiercely.
The place where everyone was standing was the highest point of the nearby mountain peak, almost the place closest to the sky. There was no space for shelter at all. The hailstones falling from the sky landed solidly on everyone, but no one made any movement to dodge. They were as indifferent as if the hailstones had landed on someone else.
There was nothing more sorrowful than the death of the heart. The great sorrow of the heart was so painful that it penetrated the soul. What did this little bit of pain mean to them!
"Back then, this place was a world of ice and snow like this. Over the past ten thousand years, in order to protect this land, countless people of the Li Clan have died. In this battle to protect the clan, first, eight thousand people were willing to die and die together with the enemy. Then, another one thousand three hundred people lost their lives here! "
"The Li Clan sent out a total of one thousand one hundred and twenty people this time. Now, one thousand three hundred people have already died here forever!"
"They have all gone! Their souls have left the spring, never to be seen again! "
Li Chunbo's voice was very calm and indifferent, as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter.
However, when these words were spoken word by word, the eyes of everyone who heard it turned red. Many people's sobs could be heard faintly.
"Perhaps it may not be that they will never meet again. They are just one step ahead to fight. Tomorrow, tomorrow, we will also die here tomorrow! There will be no exceptions. The remaining hundred or so people here will walk the same path in the netherworld and the Yellow Springs together. "
Li Chunbo stood with his hands behind his back. Amidst the storm and hail, his sleeves fluttered in the wind. His gaze was solemn as he said, "Back then, this old man established the Li Clan all by himself. Now, I will lead you to another world! This old man still wants to be the vanguard! "
He sneered and said, "But this land will remember that they once had the surname Li!"
"Yes! This land will remember that they used to be surnamed Li! " Everyone roared at the same time. Although they were hit by the cold hailstones, their blood was still boiling.
"Li Xiongtu!" Li Chunbo didn't even turn his head as he shouted sternly.
"Here!" Li Xiongtu's majestic figure took a step forward and came before Li Chunbo. His body was riddled with wounds. Many parts of his body were wrapped in bandages and blood was seeping out of them.
"This is a battle between members of the Li Clan. You are not a member of the Li Clan. The Li Clan does not need an outsider!" Li Chunbo's expression was calm and unruffled. His voice was cold and harsh. "Now, get out of the Li Clan! Immediately, right now, get out! "
Li Xiongtu's expression changed drastically. "Elder Master?!"
"You dare to disobey my orders?! Do you need me to repeat myself?! "Li Chunbo said coldly.
"I dare not! Although I, Li Xiongtu, also have the word 'Li' in my name, I am not really a grandson of the Li Clan. Xiongtu deeply regrets this. I have received great kindness from the Li Clan time and time again, but I am unable to repay it! If it was any other time, Xiongtu would not dare to hesitate in the slightest when it came to the Elder Master's orders. However, this is a time of trouble for the Li Clan, a time of life and death. If Xiongtu were to avoid the battle at this time, how would he have the face to stand in this world? A real man seeks to be open and aboveboard with a clear conscience. Xiongtu's strength is low, but he is still willing to fight to the death against the enemy! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will try our best to contend with him. Even if we can't win in the end, it's not a big deal. If we perish together with him, we will still have a chance! "
Li Xiongtu's expression was fierce as he said, "No matter what, I, Li Xiongtu, will definitely not be afraid of death and run away!"
Li Chunbo was silent for a moment before he said, "Idiot, can't you hear what I said? You are not running away from the battle! I am the one who chased you out of the Li Clan. Can you still understand human language? "
Li Xiongtu straightened his neck and said furiously, "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"
"Not leaving? Who do you think you are? How can my words be something that you can bargain with? You're even rebelling against me! "Li Chunbo's expression turned cold. Suddenly, he raised his palm and actually struck down heavily on the top of Li Xiongtu's head!
Based on Li Chunbo's cultivation, it was useless no matter how Li Xiongtu tried to guard against it. Furthermore, Li Xiongtu had never expected this old man to actually attack him directly. His eyes rolled back, and before he could even say anything, he collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.
Li Chunbo said indifferently, "Mo Tianji, I'll leave this little one to you! He won't wake up within three days! "
Mo Tianji sighed softly and said, "Alright! I understand what Elder Li means. Please don't worry. "
Li Chunbo was silent for a moment before he said, "Don't ever forget the agreement we made back then, and the matter of yearning … Don't ever forget."
Mo Tianji nodded. "Don't worry, Elder Li. I definitely won't forget. I, Mo Tianji, still have this bit of credibility."
Li Chunbo nodded. "That's for the best!"
Mo Tianji was silent for a moment before he said, "Elder Li, although our Three Lights Great Formation has already activated the Sunlight Formation, we still have the Moonlight Formation and Starlight Formation that can be used. There's still room for negotiation …"
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a long while before he said, "Regarding Elder Li's decision, we should consider it carefully. Shouldn't we consider it again? "
Li Chunbo shook his head slightly. His movements were unusually light but very firm.
"At this moment, it's me who doesn't want to drag this on any longer." Li Chunbo slowly turned around and looked at his descendants. He said, "Look at these people. Which one of them doesn't have thousands of years of experience?"
"Those who have already died are more or less the grandchildren of these people!"
"You're still young. You don't know how it feels to watch your grandchildren die in front of your eyes. This isn't something that can be explained with words! "
"We all know that as long as you're given a certain amount of time to activate the Starlight Formation and Moonlight Formation, you might really be able to bury another batch of enemies. But do you have the confidence to annihilate all of them?"
Mo Tianji was silent. He said, "This isn't about whether or not I have the confidence. It's about whether or not I can do it. It's too unrealistic. If it was before the Sunlight Killing Formation was exposed, there might still be a chance. But now …"
"Yes, it's unrealistic. It's impossible!" Li Chunbo smiled sadly. "Actually, the most important point is that our enemies are far from just the ones in front of us. The other party's foundation hasn't even been shaken yet. Not to mention that it's impossible to succeed, even if we're lucky enough to kill all of them, what's the use? The Li Clan still can't go against the entire Upper Three Heavens! "
"Also, we really can't wait any longer!" Li Chunbo smiled miserably. "We can't wait to die! Below the spring, the many young men who died first must be facing many old grudges right now. Without us old fogeys holding the fort, what do they have to rely on? Won't they be bullied and humiliated by others?! "
Mo Tianji heaved a long sigh and didn't say anything else to console him.
How could someone as wise as him understand the torment of these people's hearts? Watching their clansmen, juniors, and grandchildren die one by one in front of them, facing death with equanimity and heroism! Naturally, they were already mentally prepared to go on their way.
Or rather, it should be said that the blood in their hearts was already burning to the extreme!
If they still couldn't vent it out, they would probably burn themselves to ashes.
"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Saying take care may be a little redundant, but I'll still say one last thing — take care!" Mo Tianji could only sigh.
Li Chunbo chuckled. "Take care? I'll make one last request. If … it's possible to avoid it, I hope that Lord Sword Master and the robber will not participate in this final battle! "
Mo Tianji said, "This … I'm afraid it'll be very difficult. I believe that even if we don't participate, the other party will definitely not let us off."
Li Chunbo nodded in understanding. "That's indeed the case."
He turned around and didn't say anything else.
This night, there was no sleep! Everyone couldn't sleep.
In the faraway base of the Li Clan in the northwest, the hundreds of thousands of women and children of the Li Clan also couldn't sleep.
All of them, either with black hair or white hair, stood quietly on the snowy ground, quietly looking into the distance at the place where the final battle was destined to take place. They were waiting. They were praying.
They were praying for the safety of their loved ones and waiting for the return of their loved ones.
Some people couldn't help but cry out loud. However, someone immediately berated them. The crying stopped instantly.
The crying was an ominous sign. At this moment, no ominous sign was allowed to appear.
There was only a deathly silence. Everyone was waiting in this silence.
Hoping for a miracle.
The boundless twilight once again descended upon the earth.
…
The previously clear sky did not last for more than a few days. The sky was once again shrouded by dark clouds. The hailstones continued to fall until the second half of the night. Then, the hailstones melted into water on the hot ground, rose into the air, and returned to the sky. Once again, they condensed into frost and hailstones.
In the latter half of the night, although the hailstones that fell onto the ground were still melting, the mist that could rise again gradually decreased.
When dawn was about to break, the hailstones had already stopped. The ground was no longer scorching hot. A thick layer of ice crystals had formed on the ground. The light was so bright that it could reflect one's reflection.
Everything within a radius of thousands of miles was sealed in ice. It was as smooth as a mirror!
Dawn.
When a ray of sunlight appeared, the entire ice plains became infinitely beautiful due to the morning light. It was too beautiful to behold.
Li Chunbo looked up to the sky and let out a long howl. His voice reverberated for thousands of miles. He said loudly, "Second Brother Xiao! The road to hell is long. Can you come and send me off for the last time? " Opposite him, Xiao Chenyu's voice came from afar. "I'm at the end of my road today. Second Brother naturally has to send me off."
Li Chunbo laughed and said, "With Second Brother accompanying me, I can die without regrets!"
His white robe fluttered and he suddenly floated down.
Like a drifting snowflake, he rose and fell with the wind.
