As soon as Wang Junxing said that, he immediately incurred the disgust of everyone present. Whether it was the cultivators from the other sects, his fellow disciples from the Myriad sect, or even his colleagues from the Law Division, they all frowned.
They were all cultivators. Once their souls were dispersed, it meant they could no longer enter the cycle of rebirth. They would be completely obliterated. Their fates were even worse than mortals who died of old age or sickness. Even if it was a battle, if there wasn't a deep hatred between them, they wouldn't be so ruthless.
These soldiers were not enemies. They were also disciples of the Myriad sect. They were Wang Junxing's seniors and juniors. Not only had they never done anything to harm the sect, but they had also guarded the borders of Black Cloud City all year round, making great contributions to the sect.
The core duties of the first senior brother of the Myriad sect were actually the same as theirs. The glory of soldiers was the unshakable moral foundation of the Myriad sect. And, everyone present could not help but develop some respect for the soldiers' bravery and staunchness with which they were willing to die.
As a result, even if they were reluctant to draw a clear line between themselves and Li Qingshan and were suspected of being involved with demonfolk, killing was only a matter of nodding one's head to the ground. Now, they had all demonstrated their resolve with their deaths, completely eliminating the possibility of them betraying the sect.
Yet, Wang Junxing actually wanted to disperse their souls. His words and actions were even more vicious than demonfolk.
Sensing everyone's enemies, Wang Junxing immediately became exhausted. He was terrified, but he had no idea what he was afraid of.
Leng Yuan's usually frigid heart boiled with fury. He hated that idiot Wang Junxing to the core. He was basically attracting hatred for the Law Division.
"If it weren't for this idiot abusing his position to settle a personal grudge and provoke us recklessly, would this have happened? I shouldn't have accepted him into the Law Division in the first place. "
However, he never took these low-level soldiers seriously. Otherwise, why would he allow Wang Junxing to act so arrogantly and domineeringly?
Originally, he thought they were just a group of "attendants" and "study companions" at the lowest level. Even if they worked together, they would not be able to match a single hand of his. Moreover, without a "first senior brother" to stand up for them, how could they defy his will and the laws of the Myriad sect? Giving them the opportunity to draw a clear line between themselves and the Demon domain was already special treatment.
However, now that the matter had developed to this point, he had already failed his duty as the head of the Law Division.
This could not continue!
Leng Yuan raised his hand, and his eyes shone with cold light. He condensed his powers, about to strike.
"Senior Brother Leng, I'll call you Senior Brother for the last time!" Lieutenant Luo said boldly, "The general has saved our lives, and we are comrades. We will never be able to draw a clear line between us! You have your laws, and we have our choices. "
He was furious. "We've spent our entire lives guarding the border city and fending off demonfolk. We've never been disloyal to the sect. Even if Li Qingshan really does come charging over with demonfolk in the future, I won't just remember his kindness and ignore the greater good. I will fight him to the death! I believe the general will not blame us. I won't regret dying in his hands. "
Although he didn't have much contact with Li Qingshan, there was an inexplicable sense of trust, as if they had known each other for many years.
He could imagine such a scene: they would meet again on the battlefield, but they would fight against each other without any resentment until one of them fell. If they could perish together, that would be the best! Perhaps they could reunite in the Asura realm one day and break free from their identities as humans and demons. He would also be willing to continue following him into battle, respectfully referring to him as "general".
He would not swing his blade at his statue and berate him as a "traitor", as if he had never received any kindness from him.
However, all of this was still just the feelings of a warrior. It was neither acknowledged by "Leng Yuan", nor was it understood by "Dai Mengfan".
He let out a long sigh. "But since the sect doesn't believe us now, and they even treat us like dogs, ordering us about and censuring us as they please, there's no point in humiliating us any further. If you want our souls to disperse, then do as you wish, but if you want us to continue serving the Myriad Phenomenon sect … "He shook his head firmly." That's impossible! "
With that, he turned around and made his way over to the frozen sea. His comrades were waiting for him.
What was there to fear even if their souls were dispersed?
Leng Yuan had nothing to say. The cold light in his eyes receded, and his powers gradually dispersed. A sliver of confusion appeared in his eyes, and a crack appeared in his icy heart. Suddenly, he began to doubt whether he had done something wrong.
Should he not have summoned them from the army in the first place? Should he have respected their wishes more?
However, he only acted according to the law and followed the wishes of "Eldest Senior Sister" Dai Mengfan, who made them draw a clear line between themselves and Li Qingshan.
He wanted them to make a choice, and they had already made their choice. At this time, even if they were all captured and detained, it would be meaningless. Captain Luo had clearly stated that he wanted to betray the sect, and according to the law, he would also be sentenced to death.
Of course, his soul would not be dispersed. Generally speaking, the heaviest punishment for a sect disciple was to be sent into the cycle of reincarnation.
This was not tolerance, but the measure of the law. If the souls of fellow sect members were easily dispersed, what unity would the sect have to speak of? The Demonic Path sect might be so vicious, but it was still a small sect that could not be shown in public.
Therefore, in terms of reason and law, he had no choice but to watch the soldiers' blood splatter on the frozen sea one by one. As a Yang Spirit cultivator, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
When the last head fell, the pier was littered with corpses, and the frozen sea was overflowing with blood.
The scarred and tottering "Li Qingshan" was still standing on the frozen sea, looking into the depths of the sea.
The hearts of all the onlookers were incomparably heavy. They had only wanted to watch a show, but who would have thought that the result would be so tragic? In the blink of an eye, hundreds of fellow disciples had fallen. How could they not feel sad for the loss of their own kind?
As for those who had never seen Li Qingshan, they could not understand what kind of person Li Qingshan was. Why was he worthy of their loyalty?
Leng Yuan looked up at the figure of "Li Qingshan" and thought to himself, "You could have united the sect and survived the great calamity together. Why did you fall into the Devil's Domain?"
At this time, blood crawled across the ice and flowed all the way to the feet of "Li Qingshan". It seemed to have gained intelligence and consciousness, and there was a sound from its body.
A crack ran through its neck, and with a loud "crack", the huge head fell off and fell into the frozen sea with a "boom". A huge wave soared hundreds of feet into the sky, mixed with the dancing ice and snow, pouncing in all directions.
Rumble! A series of thunderous sounds rang out, and the frozen sea shattered. Cracks spread out like spider webs! The ice, which was as huge as a ship, rose and fell with the waves, making an ear-piercing sound of friction.
Everyone could not help but cry out in alarm. Wang Junxing suddenly saw the huge figure of "Li Qingshan" pouncing towards him. He was almost paralyzed with fear and let out a scream, "The statue has come to life!"
It turned out that "Li Qingshan"'s ankle was broken, and it could no longer support its weight. Its headless body slowly fell backwards.
With an earth-shattering sound, it smashed heavily into the frozen sea, stirring up a huge wave and completely shattering the surface of the sea.
It was exactly the same way as the soldiers had "died".
Everyone was dumbfounded. The neck and ankle were the most vulnerable parts of a statue, but no one could believe that this was just a coincidence.
