"If that's the case, can we try to negotiate with them?"
A pretty girl dressed in blue asked softly. "They're besieging our Duxu Peak for nothing more than the once-in-a-century Spiritual Peak Awakening Day. If that's the case, then we should all withdraw from the Duxu Peak and let them obtain those blessings. At least we can still preserve our lives this way. "
"That's right, Junior Liu is right. Let's negotiate. There's no need to fight to the death with them."
"It's more important to preserve our lives. We definitely won't be able to defeat twelve Heaven Stage Gufeng's combined forces."
"Negotiating with them might be a way out. There's no need to be hot-blooded and brave for some false reputation!"
"That's right, that's right …"
As soon as the girl in blue finished speaking, many of the young disciples immediately echoed her words.
At this moment, in the face of a true life and death crisis, many people's courage had been completely obliterated. They all thought of negotiating with them or retreating.
Facing this scene, Chu Chen's expression was as indifferent as ever. It was as if he was completely uninvolved in this matter. He looked at the disciples in the hall chattering away without interrupting, nor did he have any other intentions.
Just as everyone was looking at him, intending to ask for his opinion, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from afar!
Rumble …
Following this earth-shattering explosion, the entire Reception Hall shook violently. It felt as if something had violently bombarded the Reception Hall.
Everyone raised their heads and saw that the roof of the Reception Hall shook violently. A thin crack had actually appeared.
With a frown, Chu Chen's figure flashed and charged out of the reception hall. Behind him, numerous disciples of the Void Traversing Peak charged out one after another.
Walking out of the Reception Hall, Chu Chen's expression instantly turned extremely gloomy after seeing what had happened in front of him.
On both sides of the Reception Hall's main entrance, four corpses were nailed to the side of the Reception Hall's engraved walls. Fresh blood had almost dyed the entire wall red.
These four people looked very young. They were all new disciples who had just entered the Duxu Peak not long ago.
After hearing that twelve Gufeng had joined forces to besiege the Duxu Peak, these four people had immediately huddled together to escape. In the end, they hadn't even escaped the Duxu Peak before their bodies were pierced by flying swords.
The four of them died extremely miserably. The black iron flying sword pierced through their chests and came out from their backs. It could be seen that the flying sword carried an incomparable amount of power. The wounds burst open to the size of a large bowl, and the broken bones pierced out of the body. It looked incomparably miserable.
Not only that, but each of their foreheads had a bloody word carved on it. It was obvious that the words were carved on his forehead with a long sword. When the four words were put together, it just so happened to be "Barren!"
...............................
Everyone was speechless. Although they had already mentally prepared themselves for the hopeless situation of the Duxu Peak, when they saw with their own eyes how close they were to death, everyone's hearts began to feel incomparably heavy.
As for the blue-clothed woman who had suggested peace talks at the beginning, she was so frightened by the miserable scene in front of her that she was speechless. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud, but she couldn't stop large drops of tears from rolling down her cheeks …
This tragic scene had already completely destroyed her will.
"Senior Brother Zhao is here!"
A soft exclamation broke the heavy atmosphere that seemed to have been sealed. Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhao Shi, who had not appeared until now, walking over with a solemn expression.
When his gaze landed on the four dead Duxu Peak disciples in front of the Reception Hall, his eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what do you think we should do?"
When the grey-haired old man saw Zhao Shi coming over, he respectfully bowed and asked in a soft voice.
Zhao Shi's gaze swept across the surroundings. When he saw Han Ye's face full of despair, he couldn't help but frown a little.
"You should be able to guess that the reason why the 12 Sky Gufeng Peaks have joined forces to deal with us isn't just to occupy a seat on the Spiritual Peak's Day of Awakening. More importantly, it's to completely suppress the Duxu Peak and destroy our opportunity to rise. "
"What?"
Hearing Zhao Shi's words, everyone was stunned. The leader, Han Ye, was even more ashen, his face full of dejection.
The blue clothed girl who had suggested peace talks looked at Zhao Shi with a face full of shock.
"The Duxu Peak used to be one of the Peaks of the Dark Demon Sect. All this time, the 12 Sky Gufeng Peaks have been secretly afraid that our Duxu Peak will suddenly rise and reclaim our dignity and glory. Therefore, they've always had the mentality to destroy us, and this time, they just happened to have such an opportunity. To be honest, even if we did escape, the Duxu Peak's calamity is something we'll have to face sooner or later. There's no way to escape. "
"Then what should we do now?"
Everyone's gaze gathered on Zhao Shi. In the Duxu Peak, Zhao Shi's identity had always been the most mysterious.
No one knew how long he'd lived, and no one knew what he'd experienced. It seemed that he'd been the Duxu Peak's Second Senior Brother for a very long time.
Therefore, everyone hoped that this mysterious Second Senior Brother would be able to find a way out for them.
"What we do, you can't ask me. Right now, everything in the Duxu Peak is up to First Senior Brother."
Zhao Shi shook his head gently and bowed respectfully to Chu Chen. "No matter what decision Eldest Senior Brother makes, I will follow Eldest Senior Brother's orders."
"That's right, we should listen to First Senior Brother!"
Feng Qiang suddenly roared. "Since we've already joined the Duxu Peak, our fates have long been tied together with the Duxu Peak. This is our destiny! It's a brand that will never disappear on our bodies!! Whether this crisis is a hopeless situation or an opportunity to rise, we should listen to First Senior Brother and advance and retreat together with him!! "
"That's right. Since things have come to this, we might as well believe in First Senior Brother and follow him to the end."
The old man with the white hair nodded, his eyes full of determination. "First Senior Brother has created so many miracles. Which one of them didn't seem to be hopeless to us? Since he's done it, we should believe in him! "
