Looking from a distance above Yuxu City, the million-strong army of the Demon Clan was like a flood, surging and retreating quickly.
For the practitioners of Yuxu Sect, this was simply an incredible thing. After all, they never thought that they could defeat the million-strong army.
But Ye Tianze did it. Not only did he do it, but he also won in a perfect way. There were no casualties among the one thousand cavalrymen.
Manager Yang was the first to react. He said to several strongmen of the Human Emperor Palace around him, "Send the news to the Human Emperor Palace immediately and tell the lord that Tiannan needs reinforcements. Immediately!"
He also didn't expect that Ye Tianze would really create a miracle. One thousand against one million, and the Demon Clan was utterly defeated.
But he knew very well that this battle would not end here. Even if the Demon Clan was now defeated, their main body did not suffer much loss and could still make a comeback.
If there were no reinforcements from Tiannan at this moment, even if Ye Tianze could create a miracle, he would not be able to escape destruction in the end.
It was even more impossible for Yuxu Sect to send out all their forces to chase after the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan seemed to have been defeated, but they did not suffer much loss as a whole.
What Ye Tianze needed was not the reinforcements of Yuxu Sect, but the reinforcements from the Southern Territory.
Judging from the expressions of these practitioners of Yuxu Sect, they were obviously unwilling to go out of the city to chase after the Demon Clan. Not to mention whether they could catch up with the Demon Clan or not, even if they could, they would not go out of the city.
Some people even began to discuss whether they should retreat. Their consideration was similar to Manager Yang's. What if the Demon Clan made a comeback?
"I propose that while the Demon Clan is defeated, we immediately withdraw from Yuxu Sect and take all our people to the Southern Territory!"
Hearing this, Tangning became angry. She looked at the practitioner of the Immortal Realm from the Southern Territory in front of her and said coldly, "Sect Leader led the cavalrymen and sacrificed themselves outside, but you want to retreat. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Tangning's words made everyone lower their heads. Even Chen Hui felt a little ashamed. It was bad enough that they didn't want to fight, but now that they were thinking of retreating, they were dragging the team down!
"Pavilion Master Tang's words are incorrect. We respect Sect Master Zong's character. Sect Master Zong is currently fighting outside, so we shouldn't mention retreating. But, the problem is that even if Sect Master Zong temporarily restrains the monster race, no one can guarantee that the monster race won't make a comeback!"
"Yes, although the Demon Tribe was defeated, they only lost tens of thousands of people. If they make a comeback, I'm afraid that all the people of Yuxu Sect will be annihilated, let alone the one thousand cavalrymen led by Zong Shang!"
"That's right, Pavilion Master Tang. The Sect Leader also said that if anything happens to him, we can vote on whether to surrender or not. Now is the best time!"
"We have to leave some kindling for Yuxu Sect. Where there is life, there is hope!"
"Yes, yes, if the prescription of the Tianshen Elixir falls into the hands of the Demon Tribe, there will be endless troubles. We have to consider the whole Human Tribe!"
Everyone spoke one after another, either for the sake of righteousness or for self-preservation, which made Tangning very annoyed. But she glanced at these people.
She found that even the elders of Yuxu Sect did not agree with staying in the sect. Most people decided to retreat. She looked at Manager Yang expectantly, only to find that Manager Yang lowered his head again.
Obviously, he agreed with the views of these people present.
"If you want to leave, just leave. I will definitely stay!" Tangning said, "I won't force you!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and didn't speak. Cao Shuang and others were too ashamed to face Tangning. Even Tangning's teacher Li Jingyi lowered his head.
Between life and death, they chose to save their lives and live an ignoble life, which was understandable in itself.
When Tangning turned around, the people present left the city one after another. The people led by Chen Hui had already packed their luggage and left directly in the opposite direction of the Demon Tribe.
Tangning heard these people's discussions and footsteps, but her beautiful face turned pale.
"Look, this is the person you are protecting. You are an idiot, a true idiot. But, even if you are an idiot, I am willing to be an idiot with you. Even if I am alone, I am willing to wait on the walls for your return!" Tangning thought to herself.
Li Jingyi tried to persuade Tangning, but Tangning did not speak. Cao Shuang also tried to persuade her, but she still did not change her mind.
Knowing Ye Tianze made her understand that there were some things that she could not insist on, but there were some things that she had to insist on!
For example, Ye Tianze could lead a thousand cavalrymen out of Yuxu City fearlessly. He was not afraid of death in the face of an army of millions.
This was courage. Tangning knew that she did not have such courage, but she was still willing to stay in Yuxu Sect, not only because this was the place where she grew up, but also because she wanted to wait here for her beloved to come back!
It did not matter whether this person loved her or not. What was important was that she had to wait for him to come back!
The people on the city wall gradually thinned out. Tangning looked at the army in the distance and looked at the bloody back, but she insisted on her own thoughts.
She did not expect to get anything in the end, but she told herself in her heart that she had to do this!
After a long time, it was quiet behind her. She did not dare to look back at the empty city because she was as foolish as Ye Tianze. They both chose to be fools.
Even if no one remembered them in the end, someone had to give, someone had to sacrifice, someone had to be a fool!
Although she did not know if Ye Tianze could come back, she did not want Ye Tianze to see an empty city when he came back.
Tangning thought that if Ye Tianze saw such a scene, how sad would he be? Perhaps he could not see it and could not come back, but this was not important.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the army was long gone. Tangning did not move an inch. At this time, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind her.
"Let's go, silly girl. You still need to stay alive to avenge him!" a voice sounded. It was her teacher, Li Jingyi.
She had never heard her teacher speak to her so gently. But, at this moment, her teacher must have been touched by her, she thought.
However, she did not turn around. It was not that she was being disrespectful to her teacher, but she was afraid that the moment she turned around, her beliefs would be shaken.
She said, "Teacher, please go. I will not blame you. Thank you for raising me. Although we have had many misunderstandings... you are still my teacher. But this time, I will not listen to you. I will listen to my heart. I know what I want!"
"Even if there is no result, are you still willing?" Li Jingyi asked.
"Yes, because liking someone is my own business. It doesn't matter if he likes me or not. If I have a little more hope, I hope he likes me too," Tangning smiled slightly.
"I want to see you one last time. Can you turn around and let me see you?" Li Jingyi asked.
Tangning wanted to turn around, but she was a little hesitant. Although she had many misunderstandings with her teacher and once had different ideas, she was still Li Jingyi's teacher.
However, Li Jingyi was still her teacher, the one who had raised her since she was young, the one who had taught her how to cultivate, and the one who had helped her grow into an expert.
In the end, she couldn't help but turn around. But she was stunned.
She saw Li Jingyi, but she also saw many familiar faces, such as Cao Shuang, Guo Lingjuan, Bai Xiaoyao, Xiao Mo, Jin Wuji, and so on.
The elders of Yuxu Sect were all standing behind him. Even Chen Hui was among them. There were hundreds of people.
Most of them belonged to the Pill Hall. Only a small number came from the five halls. But the elders of the five halls were all there, and there were also people from the outside.
Tangning looked at them and suddenly tears filled her eyes. She didn't ask for much, but the people of Yuxu Sect gave her hope in the end.
"Teacher... you..." Tangning looked at them, a little emotional.
"Why didn't we leave?" Cao Shuang said, "This is the place where we grew up. Not only you, but even a person from Zong Shang who became a monk halfway can fight for the sect. Why can't we?"
"Silly girl, do you think you are the only one who is willing to guard here? Many people are reluctant to leave, but... but there are always people who are fools. But there are also people who must pass on the torch for the sect! "Li Jingyi said.
"We're willing to be that fool with you. Benefits, lives, none of that matters anymore." Guo Lingjuan said, "Even if we can't wait for him to come back, we have to fight. For Yuxu Sect, for faith, for the opportunity he has fought for us!"
"Senior Sister, you underestimate us too much." Xiao Mo smiled slightly, "In this world, Zong Shang is not the only one who has the determination to die. We have it too!"
Tangning was silent. She didn't know what to say. Perhaps Ye Tianze would know what to say, but she didn't know what to say.
But tears fell down. No matter how strong she was, she was just a woman. She wanted to grow up to be a strong person like Ye Tianze, but she knew that she was not Ye Tianze.
"Thank... thank you." Tangning bowed.
"Silly girl, you don't need to thank me. Yuxu Sect doesn't belong to you alone." Li Jingyi walked up to her and wiped her tears.
