Lin Xiu felt frustrated as he looked at the panicking disciples. These young disciples were at the prime of their youth and should be enjoying the beauty of their youth. However, they were caught up in the disputes of the continent too early. It was their misfortune.
Under the command of their respective elders, the disciples who had previously entered the Secret Realm to cultivate were also evacuated. All the warriors who had reached the Earthly Yuan Realm had to participate in this battle unconditionally. This was something that could not be helped. After all, if the Netherworld Palace were to succeed, the entire continent would be plunged into an abyss of suffering. No one would be able to remain unscathed.
Lin Xiu found his three personal disciples and gave them some pointers on their cultivation. He then sat cross-legged on the Guardian Elder Peak and looked at the surging crowd below. For the first time, a trace of panic appeared in his mind.
He did not know how many of these young faces would be able to survive if they could not successfully get through this calamity. He did not know how many of them would lose their lives in this war.
Lin Xiu raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Orchid Valley. He was very worried about Liu Yun's safety. However, he had a more important mission and could not bring Liu Yun away.
The world was still dark. Everyone was afraid of the future and fell into an even greater panic. Even if the elders came forward and proclaimed that the great change of the world was a normal natural phenomenon, the disciples were not real fools. How could they believe it so easily?
In the end, it was Wu Kejun who stepped forward and used her status as the sect leader to make a solemn promise to everyone. Only then did the panic temporarily settle down.
Lin Xiu got up from the peak and patted the dust off his body. He tried his best to calm his breathing. He found Wu Kejun and began to talk about the reason why he was about to leave the sect.
"Master, I have now touched the threshold of the Manifestation Realm. If I want to break through step by step, I only need to refine the power of spirit stones. However, if I do that, I will at most become a Manifestation Realm expert with decent combat strength. It is really not in line with my expectations. Therefore, I plan to seal my cultivation and enter the mortal world to properly comprehend and see if I can make another breakthrough in my state of mind. If I can comprehend the mystery of the 10th level of Universe Realm, I might have a chance to turn the situation around."
Looking at Lin Xiu\'s serious expression, Wu Kejun knew that the pressure on his disciple was too heavy. As his master, he couldn\'t help Lin Xiu and could only nod his head, then instructed Lin Xiu to ensure his safety.
After saying goodbye to Wu Kejun, Lin Xiu quietly left the Gui Yuan Sect. Once he was out of the range of the sect, he immediately sealed all his strength so that he looked no different from an ordinary person.
Slowly emptying his mind, Lin Xiu first came to a quiet little village. From time to time, the cries of a baby could be heard. It was obvious that the baby was very sensitive to darkness. The woman patted the baby softly, hoping that she could coax the baby to sleep.
As for the strong men, they all sat at the entrance of the village and took out some iron farming tools. They raised a bonfire and moved all the wine that had been stored in each household for a long time to the entrance of the village and drank to their heart's content.
"Everyone, although we are really insignificant compared to those powerful immortal cultivators, anyone can see that the current situation of the continent is very not optimistic. If those legendary immortals are defeated in the end, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape death." A young man who looked like a leader picked up a wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He let the strong wine gradually burn his internal organs, but his voice was still loud and clear.
"Although we are not extremely powerful, we have done farm work for a lifetime and still have strength. I have decided, from today onwards, anyone who is willing to protect the country will follow me and join the army!" After the young man finished speaking, he threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground. The rest of the people looked at each other and remained silent.
Many of them had just obtained their own children and were really unwilling to leave their homes. Once they left, they might never have the chance to return.
"If any of you are willing to stay, I have no complaints. After all, the village also needs young people to protect it. But how can the hot blood of a man be wasted on the crops!" After the young man shouted angrily, he no longer paid attention to the men in front of him. He took out a shovel, carried it on his shoulder, and left the village. His figure disappeared into the endless darkness.
One after another, the other men of the Zhuang family were a little hesitant, but most of them eventually took out their shovels and followed the young man.
Lin Xiu saw all of this and did not say anything. The strange and dazzling things in the world were especially complicated when faced with the choice of life and death.
Lin Xiu continued to head south. The straw sandals under his feet had long been worn out after a long period of traveling. Although his strength had been completely sealed, his physical defense was still there. Although he looked a little sloppy, he did not suffer any substantial damage.
On this day, he arrived in front of an imperial palace and discovered that there were groups of beggars there. Due to the shroud of endless darkness, it was difficult for crops to be harvested. Many farmers' lands had long since become barren.
Without crops, these farmers who relied on the land for a living could only leave their homes, hoping to be able to beg for some money in this capital city to fill their stomachs.
In the face of such a disaster, almost all the rich people closed their doors and brought all the food stored in the granaries to the depths of their mansions, hoping that it would be able to hold on for a little longer.
But there were still many kind-hearted people who took out a small amount of food from their homes and distributed it to these beggars. After all, they could not watch fresh lives disappear in front of their eyes.
After a long time, suddenly, an army emerged from the palace. Those soldiers rode on tall horses and glanced at these beggars with some disdain. They did not hide their disgust at all.
"You people are also a burden if you live. You can only waste food for nothing. I think it's better for you to just die." A young soldier suddenly raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it towards the chest of a beggar.
These beggars were originally farmers who faced the yellow soil with their backs to the sky. When had they ever seen such a situation? All of their faces were pale, their bodies were trembling non-stop, and there was only fear of death in their eyes.
Lin Xiu, who was originally watching everything coldly, frowned slightly. According to his previous thoughts, no matter what happened, he would definitely not make a move and completely experience the mortal world from the perspective of a stranger. But the situation in front of him really made him unable to sit still.
Lin Xiu glared at the soldier who made a move and suddenly made the latter feel as if his heart had been struck by a muffled thunder. His entire face turned pale and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, falling from the side of the beggar.
The panicked soldier looked around fiercely. He felt that he had lost face in front of so many colleagues and said fiercely, "Who is the busybody? Hurry up and stand up for me."
Seeing the soldier acting like this, Lin Xiu felt very uncomfortable. He then waved his arm gently and suddenly, a cool breeze arose from heaven and earth and gradually blew towards the soldier.
The cool breeze blew through the flesh and blood of the soldier like ice and snow. Under the scorching sun, it directly melted and no trace could be found.
The soldiers who were watching the show at the side saw their friends suddenly disappear like this and all of them were a little flustered. With fear in their hearts, they rode their horses and rushed out one after another, not daring to stay here for long.
As for the beggar who was accidentally saved, he knelt on both knees and kept kowtowing. At the same time, he muttered to himself, "Thank God, thank God for being merciful."
Lin Xiu no longer cared about what happened in this dynasty. He took a step forward and disappeared in an instant. When he appeared again, he was already in another territory thousands of miles away.
The more things he saw along the way, the more uncertain Lin Xiu became. He didn't know if it was worth it for countless experts to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield for the sake of protection.
There were countless tycoons who oppressed the commoners and exploited the villagers. When faced with a desperate situation, human nature would become especially evil.
The evil side of these people that had been suppressed in their hearts finally erupted in such a predicament. Burning, killing, and plundering happened all over the world and Lin Xiu was already numb to it.
In the beginning, Lin Xiu always remembered the purpose of his cultivation and resisted the urge to take action.
When the first life disappeared in front of him, Lin Xiu couldn't hold it in anymore. These people didn't die under the calamity of the Netherworld Palace and were instead brutally killed by their own clansmen. Even Lin Xiu couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart.
If he and the others tried their best, they wouldn't be able to save such a group of bullies. Lin Xiu asked himself. He would rather these people be completely destroyed under the claws of the Nine Nether Palace than for them to continue deceiving others after obtaining the hope of survival.
Along the way, Lin Xiu had seen too much of the human world, all kinds of ugly faces were exposed in this chaotic world.
On this day, he came to a straw hut and saw a little girl washing clothes with a face full of tears.
With some doubts in his heart, Lin Xiu approached and bent down. He said gently to the little girl, "Little girl, you're already working at such a young age. What did your parents go to do?"
When the little girl heard the unfamiliar voice, her body suddenly tensed up and she unconsciously took a step back. Lin Xiu could only stay in place and spread out his hands to indicate that he didn't have any ill intentions. At the same time, he tried to make his expression look more amiable.
"Little girl, don't worry, big brother isn't a bad person, I'm just a little confused." Lin Xiu took the initiative to take a few steps back and put some distance between him and the little girl before saying.
Obviously, Lin Xiu's actions won the little girl's trust. Although she was still a little afraid, the little girl tried her best to control her voice so that it wouldn't tremble. Then, she said in a crisp voice, "Dad broke his leg when he went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and my mother has been up the mountains for two days in order to help Dad gather some useful herbs and hasn't come back."
After understanding everything, Lin Xiu's heart was slightly sour.
After a person became an adult, no matter what they had to experience, it could only be regarded as a matter of course. However, the little girl in front of him was so young but had already begun to bear the burden of life. It was really not right.
"Little girl, big brother just happens to know some medical skills. Can you let me in to take a look at your father's injury? Maybe I can save him? "Lin Xiu said to the little girl with a serious expression.
With a surprised expression, the little girl wiped her dirty cheeks with the back of her hand and looked especially excited.
"Big brother, can you really cure Dad?"
Seeing Lin Xiu nod again, the little girl was certain in her heart. But after a moment, she lowered her head again and stared at her toes. She muttered in an inaudible voice, "But, but we don't have money at all."
With Lin Xiu's cultivation level, he could naturally hear all these words clearly. He didn't say much and went forward to hug the little girl gently. He placed her on his shoulder, then pushed open the door of the thatched hut and saw the man with a yellow face on the sickbed.
This man was obviously extremely vigilant when he saw Lin Xiu and was even more afraid when he saw his daughter actually sitting on the shoulder of this brightly dressed young man.
"Lord, please let my daughter go." The man on the sickbed struggled to get up and fell off the bed, but there was still a slight tremble in his voice as he tried to take his daughter back from Lin Xiu's arms.
After putting the little girl down from his shoulder, Lin Xiu touched his head apologetically, then shouted to the man, "Big brother, don't worry, I happened to pass by and heard from your daughter that you're suffering from a serious illness. I happen to know some medical skills, so I came by. Please don't take offense."
Lin Xiu helped the man up and carried him back to the bed. He revealed a warm smile to the little girl, then stretched out his right hand and pretended to feel the pulse there.
With Lin Xiu's cultivation level, as long as he scanned with his spiritual consciousness, he would naturally be able to understand the injury of the man in front of him.
But this poor family had obviously never met a cultivator, so Lin Xiu had to pretend to be a doctor. After a long time, he frowned slightly and then relaxed again.
"Don't worry big brother, the injury on your body is not serious at all. As long as I write a prescription, I guarantee that you will recover in a few days." Lin Xiu tried to make his tone relaxed so that the young father and daughter in front of him wouldn't worry.
Unexpectedly, when the little girl and the man heard this, their faces darkened.
