What?
Duanmu Lin and more than a dozen cultivators exchanged dismayed glances with a strange expression on their faces.
Hun Sen slightly furrowed his brows after seeing their strange expressions and said with dissatisfaction, "What's with your expressions? What I said is true. Director Duanmu, I know you value Tan Xiu very much, but he's just an arrogant and conceited brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even if he has some cultivation, he can't show off here. Haven't you heard that those who drown are those who can swim and those who get slapped in the face are those who show off? That brat surnamed Tang is exactly that kind of trash. "
"Shut up!"
Duanmu Lin's mind was filled with images of Tan Xiu and his men riddled with scars. He looked at the dissatisfied Hun Sen in front of him and shouted, "Tan Xiu won't die, and neither will his men. Hun Sen, I know you came from a reclusive family and brought a group of elite soldiers this time. But as a cultivator, you must have the qualities of a cultivator and know how to respect others. "
"What do you mean by that, Duanmu Lin?" Hun Sen angrily asked. "How come I don't have the qualities of a cultivator? How come I don't know how to respect others? Did I say anything wrong? That brat was arrogant and conceited, yet he died in the hands of demonic beasts and is now likely to become their food. He only has himself to blame for such an ending. "
"Hun Sen, I originally thought that you're quite young, yet you're very strong and have the heart of a righteous powerhouse. I didn't expect that you'd slander others, and you can't even tolerate others being powerful in your eyes," said Duanmu Lin indifferently. Let me tell you something. Tan Xiu is not dead, neither are his men. Just 10 minutes ago, he returned with all his men. Their bodies are riddled with scars and it's obvious that they have been engaged in a brutal battle with the demonic beasts. In my opinion, he used his strength and courage to win our respect. He and his men are the heroes of humanity for fighting the demonic beasts without fear of death. "
Immediately.
More than a dozen cultivators around him looked indignant and loudly said, "That's right.
"That's right, he's a good man, and so are his subordinates."
"Tan Xiu is indeed alive. He just left for a few minutes. His subordinates were all real men. Even his little female disciple and the five children by his side were all amazing heroes. A little girl in her teens and five children under the age of ten. When they first came back, their bodies were covered in wounds. Those wounds were caused by the sharp claws and teeth of magical beasts. "
"To think that you're a high-ranking member of a hidden family. To think that you didn't even understand the whole story before hurling insults. Other things can be faked, but the injuries of Tan Xiu's subordinates cannot be faked. "
"Sigh, there really are all kinds of people in this world. I can't guess if you're jealous, or if you don't have the ability to catch up to him. You haven't seen him fight with the magical beasts, yet you're hurling insults here. "
"Tan Xiu is a young hero …"
"He deserves respect."
"…"
Hun Sen was dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that his words would incur the wrath of the crowd. Moreover, he did not expect that his speculations were all wrong. Not only did Tan Xiu and his subordinates not die at the hands of the magical beasts, but they all came back alive.
Could it be …
The traces of battle that he and Jiang Shuisheng saw, and the pools of blood, did not belong to Tan Xiu and his subordinates? Could it be that they were left by magical beasts?
"You …"
Hun Sen's lips moved. For a moment, he did not know what to say. If what they said was true, then his arrogant words and his slander of Tan Xiu would be a complete disgrace. Hun Sen was not afraid of getting injured or dying. As a cultivator, he was afraid of losing face and being laughed at by others.
Jiang Shuisheng frowned. He was secretly glad that he did not say anything earlier. However, Hun Sen was being mocked and ridiculed by the crowd. Some of their words also slandered him, which made him feel very embarrassed.
"Director Duanmu and all the friends in the cultivation world. Hun Sen just said his speculations and did not have any malice toward Tan Xiu. On the contrary, if Tan Xiu is still alive, I'm afraid that he will be secretly happy inside. That's because the more human experts are alive in the upcoming war, the more hope we have to win, "said Jiang Shuisheng.
"That's a reasonable statement."
A straightforward senior in the cultivation world snorted coldly.
Hun Sen glared at him angrily and coldly said, "You all said that Tan Xiu is still alive. Then where are he and his men? Why aren't they here now that we're facing the enemy? "
"According to our surveillance, thousands of demonic beasts are gathering in the depths of the Himalayas. It's a sign that they are going to attack us," said Duanmu Lin. "Tan Xiu went there alone to investigate the situation, so he's not here now. His men are all injured, so they went to the rear to recuperate. "
"It's inevitable to get injured in a fight with demonic beasts. Wouldn't it be too shameful to go back and recuperate after getting injured?" Hun Sen snorted coldly.
"Bullshit!"
The straightforward old man pointed to the depths of the mountain range and said in a deep voice, "Open your eyes and take a look. Are those people coming out of there Tan Xiu's men? Take a look at their appearances. Do they look like they're slightly injured? "
In a flash.
Everyone shifted their eyes to the direction the old man pointed. They saw dozens of cultivators covered in blood and looking terrible, looking battered and exhausted as they ran toward them. Some of them were even carried by their companions, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Duanmu Lin had seen Tang Sect's disciples before, so he recognized the leader at a glance. It was Tan Xiu's man, Mo Awu. Ignoring Hun Sen, he flashed forward to meet them in an instant.
"How are your injuries, Mo Awu?"
Mo Awu quickly made a gesture. As everyone stopped, Mo Awu bitterly said, "One of our brothers died in battle, and the rest are all injured, most of them seriously injured. Director Duanmu, has our Sect Master returned? "
"You mean Tan Xiu?" asked Duanmu Lin.
"He's our Sect Master." Mo Awu nodded.
Duanmu Lin's mind moved, but he didn't have the time to ask how Tan Xiu became the Sect Master. He nodded and said, "He came back with a group of people. But he knows that thousands of demonic beasts are gathering in the depths of the mountain range and will attack us at any time, so he went back alone to investigate the situation. Many of the others he brought back are seriously injured and have gone to the camp to recuperate. "
Mo Awu's complexion slightly changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Director Duanmu, our Senior and Junior Brothers are also seriously injured. Please allow them to return to the camp to recuperate. "
Duanmu Lin heavily nodded and said, "You've worked hard. Go quickly."
Mo Awu turned to look at his Senior and Junior Brothers in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Hei Wuya, Ye Shisan, you two have the lightest injuries. Stay with me to find Sect Master and ensure his safety. As for the rest, go back to the camp to recuperate immediately. You must recover as fast as possible and prepare for the next battle. "
"Understood!"
Shouted dozens of Tang Sect disciples.
Duanmu Lin's complexion changed. He hurriedly stopped Mo Awu and said in a deep voice, "Your injuries are very serious. If I'm not mistaken, your lungs should have been pierced by demonic beasts. If you don't treat it in time, it will leave a serious hidden danger that may even affect your life. Listen to me, Tan Xiu will go to investigate alone. He can come back in time if he finds something amiss. If you go back to find him now, you may not be able to help him and will instead become a burden to him. "
Mo Awu shook his head indifferently and said, "Director Duanmu, Sect Master's life is more important than ours. We'll stay behind to fight for a chance of survival for our Sect Master if he really encounters danger. Please don't stop me. I've made up my mind. "
Having said that …
After that, he bypassed Duanmu Lin and led Hei Wuya and Ye Shisan toward the depths of the mountain range, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
An anxious look flashed in Hei Xiong's eyes as he shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, return to the camp and recuperate as fast as possible. Sect Master and Senior Brother Mo Awu are likely to encounter a crisis. The sooner we recover our strength, the sooner we can rush over and fight alongside them. "
"Understood!"
The other dozens of people hardly hesitated and followed Hei Xiong back to the camp.
Each and every one of the people around Duanmu Lin looked at them with admiration. They had seen loyal and courageous people and fearless iron-blooded powerhouses, but they had never seen so many respectable powerhouses at once.
Hun Sen fell into silence, while Jiang Shuisheng also lowered his head and didn't speak.
The two of them were impressed by the imposing aura of Mo Awu and the others. It was because they could tell that Mo Awu and his men had just experienced a brutal battle, and they were very worried about Tang Xiu's safety from the bottom of their hearts.
Tan Xiu!
Hun Sen slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he abruptly opened them and said with difficulty, "I admit that I underestimated Tan Xiu. He's indeed a character. "
Jiang Shuisheng also nodded and said, "To be able to make his men regard his life as more important than their own, Tan Xiu is truly amazing. His subordinates were also very impressive. It's a pity that we didn't catch up with them before, else I really hope to be able to fight side by side with such fearless heroes. "
A smile finally appeared on Duanmu Lin's face as he nodded and said, "I already told you that Tan Xiu is a real man of Huaxia. He'll probably risk his life to protect our country and its people when the country is in danger. Just look at his men. All of them are seriously injured and I'm afraid they have killed a lot of demonic beasts. Every time we kill a Magical Beast, it will give us a sliver of a chance of victory. I, Duanmu Lin, also hope to fight side by side with them to resolve the crisis. "
