Nangong Xue panicked and said, "Retribution … Retribution has already come! Jiang Liechen committed all kinds of crimes and was guilty of many crimes. Although he was a Hierarch, he didn't have a close confidante. He couldn't get the love of his beloved, and his subordinates and confidants betrayed him. The righteous heroes planned a large-scale attack to overthrow his sect. At the same time, the brothers he valued the most wanted to take his life. It was most appropriate to give him a 'betrayal and isolation'! Think about it carefully, isn't that the case? "
An Yesun was slightly startled. Listening to her sophistry, he couldn't help but laugh. His laughter was mostly mocking. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he found it. His voice gradually became louder.
Nangong Xue was at a loss. She said angrily, "What … What are you laughing at? Could it be that what I said was wrong? There are gods in the sky. No matter what people do, when the time comes, they can't escape the punishment of the heavens. This is also to persuade people to do more good deeds. Don't rely on luck and think that you can get away with it. After all, people can't fight against gods. "
Her words made An Yesun laugh even more hysterically. He said, "Yes, you're right. That's right! But Demon Jiang once told me that once he mastered his martial arts, he would become a god among gods. He would be a supreme being who transcended time and reincarnation. Even gods wouldn't be able to control him. Humph, don't you think he's crazy? "
Nangong Xue didn't respond. She used to believe in the saying, "Man can conquer the heavens." Although humans were under the control of the omnipotent gods, they could change their own destiny with some effort. She couldn't explain the difference between the two sayings, but she always felt conflicted about Jiang Liechen's "god among gods."
An Yesun stopped his crazy mocking and smiled bitterly. He said, "There are many things that you haven't experienced, so you won't understand the true pain. Traitors are always the most pitiful people. They are hated by their old masters and looked down upon by their new masters. When that happens, they won't be able to please either side and will never be able to make a comeback! In the early stages, when they needed you, they would provide you with good food and drinks. Once the matter was settled, it was common for them to go back on their word. He was also worried that you were a spy who sacrificed your companions, so he might execute you on the spot. If you are allowed to be a slave again, it will be a great grace. "
Nangong Xue was touched, but she could not empathize with them. She could only express her sympathy and said, "That's true, but who told them to betray their conscience? The Sacrificial Shadow Cult has done all kinds of evil. You can be considered to have repented and saved by leaving there. Was he going to work for them for the rest of his life even though he knew how vicious the Devil Cult was? Master and Martial Uncle shouldn't make things too difficult for you. The righteous and evil sects have different ways of doing things … "
An Yesun sneered, "So what if you're a righteous disciple? Should the Orthodox Church prosper forever, and the Devil Church be easily eradicated? If there was such a law in the world, there wouldn't be so many unjust disputes and grievances. You don't know how sinister people can be. The progress of the Wulin world is not as orderly as what you see on the surface. "
Nangong Xue knew that she was still inexperienced in this area and was not qualified to persuade him, so she remained silent. An Yesun continued, "Moreover, this is a special case. Even if the two armies have no grudges against each other, they will not show any mercy to traitors. I'm different. Nine out of ten people from the Orthodox Church in Mount Hua had their parents, wives, children, relatives, and friends killed by me. They all hate me to the core. Once this matter is settled, I'm afraid they will clamor for revenge. I don't care if these scoundrels bring up old scores. As long as I can kill Devil Jiang, my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled. Whether I live or die in the future, I don't care at all. "
Nangong Xue tried to persuade him, "Why do you have to give up on yourself? Once we're done with these grudges, you can start all over again. With your ability, I'm sure you'll be able to create a new world." An Yesun smiled bitterly, "The meaning of my life is only to protect Menglin. Since she is no longer here, I don't have to live either. At worst, I will die together with Devil Jiang. What's there to regret? "
Nangong Xue said, "Menglin is already dead. I'll be honest. Even if you kill Jiang Liechen now, it will be useless. However, there is a custom of a life for a life, so I can't persuade you too much. But there is absolutely no need to die together with him. People live for themselves first. Do you think it's worth it to sacrifice your most precious life for the person you hate the most? I hope you don't mind what I'm saying. What kind of feelings does Menglin have for you? If she cares about you, she will definitely want you to live well. If she doesn't care about you, then there is even less need for you to sacrifice yourself for her. No one in this world is worth dying for. Those who truly care about you will never let you do such a thing. Why can't you pull yourself together and live well for Menglin's sake? Jiang Liechen has done too much evil. In the end, there will be retribution. Otherwise, if you die together with him, people who don't know the details will say that you 'died for him'. You hate your enemy. You don't want such rumors to spread, do you? "
An Yesun sneered mournfully, "That's ridiculous. I don't care about anything anymore. Why would I be obsessed with a little bit of reputation? Let them make up whatever nonsense they want! In short, I did what I had to do. That's enough. If Menglin knew in the underworld, she would definitely want me to avenge her. What do you mean the heavens have eyes? That damned heavens are simply blind! I can't wait for it to come and punish Devil Jiang. I want to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens! "
Nangong Xue sighed softly. She didn't know why the people around her were so stubborn. No matter what she said, they wouldn't change their minds in the slightest. She had no choice but to change the subject, "You have to be careful of others who will burn the bridge after crossing the river. There are many righteous people who are narrow-minded. They might take the opportunity to harm you." An Yesun sneered, "It's not that easy to harm me. But if they really want me to die, it won't be their turn to do it. "
Hearing this, Nangong Xue's heart trembled. A strong sense of foreboding suddenly grew in her heart and quickly spread like a seed blooming and bearing fruit. An Yesun sneered again, "I promise you, this time I'll definitely kill Devil Jiang. If you push me too far, then I'll destroy both jade and common stone!"
The shadow in Nangong Xue's heart continued to grow. Hearing his tone, she actually felt a kind of eerie chill. Although she had never been to the underworld, she felt as if she was really in the netherworld. Every strand of her hair and fingertips were trembling. She anxiously said, "You … what do you mean? What are you planning to do? "
An Yesun said, "I'll treat you as one of my own. Come here, I'll only tell you." Nangong Xue suppressed her fear and slowly moved her head forward. She was originally worried that An Yesun wouldn't tell her. She didn't expect him to be willing to tell her. She was both relieved and afraid. An Yesun's lips were almost by her ear. He said in a low voice, "In the secret room of the Sacrifice Shadow Sect's headquarters, there are several hundred kilograms of explosives buried under the Hierarch's throne."

The next day, peace was just around the corner. The disciples of various sects who had gathered at Mount Hua were all ready and waiting for orders. The soldiers sent by Shen Shiyun from the Imperial Palace, led by Cao Zhenyan, the leader of the Plain White Banner, had also arrived. They were all wearing ordinary official robes. At first, people suspected that they were experts in disguise. But after examining the features on their foreheads and the way they walked, they could tell that they were indeed low-grade soldiers.
Some of the more experienced disciples thought, "These soldiers don't look like they are here to help us; they look like they are here to take advantage of the situation. They are waiting for the Upright Sects and the Devil Cult to fight each other until both sides are wounded, then they will seize the opportunity to attack and subdue both the Righteous and the Righteous Sects. They will reap great benefits. "
There were also some disciples with shallow knowledge who could not see the situation clearly. They thought, "Everybody says that the Manchurian soldiers are formidable, they can besiege cities and subdue cities as if they are entering an uninhabited area. Don't tell me that these lowly soldiers are worthy of being on par with us, a group of Wulin masters? "Li Yijie only had complete faith in Shen Shiyun. Even if he was dissatisfied, he forced himself to endure.
However, the weather was unpredictable. For the past several days, the sky had been blue, as if it had been washed by the sun. But on the day of departure, the wind was howling fiercely, lightning flashed and thunder rolled. The sky was as dark as the middle of the night. There were several thunderclaps, but not even half a drop of rain fell. Among the disciples, there were some young and inexperienced disciples who were very timid. As soon as they saw the situation, they whispered to each other, "Of all days, the weather is not changing, of all days, it happened on the big day of our departure. Aiyo, not good, it must be Laotianye's omen, hinting that our journey will not go smoothly. It is an ominous omen! "
As soon as he said that, not a few timid disciples echoed his words. One told ten, ten told a hundred; three people were enough to become a tiger, much less several hundred people agreeing together. Even some disciples with relatively high martial art skill began to have doubts in their hearts. They all said, "We'd better delay our departure for one or two days, wait until after this thunderstorm. In any case, the Devil Cult's headquarters does not have legs. Isn't it the same whether we go early or late? We are not afraid it will fly away! "
Li Yijie knew that if he let them continue to make noise, the troops' morale would be disturbed. If they were already afraid before the battle even started, how could they talk about breaking the enemy's defenses and achieving victory? He thought, "Even if there is a torrential downpour, we must not delay our journey. Are we going to wait for the rest of our lives?"
Walking to the front of the troops, with a loud and clear voice he said, "Gentlemen, please listen to me. The Devil Cult's headquarters will not fly or move, but the day of Jiang Liechen's breakthrough will not change. If we delay this time, even if we are late by one hour, a quarter of an hour, Jiang Liechen will turn into a devil. Later on, if we want to deal with him, it will be extremely difficult! We, the Upright Sect's disciples, have always regarded eliminating evil and eliminating evil as our own responsibility. We are about to launch a large-scale attack on the Devil Cult, but before we depart, we are scared witless by several thunderclaps. If this news spreads out, won't our fellow Daoists laugh at us? If you honestly believe in the Heaven's omen, you'd better think differently: this is indeed an ominous omen, but it is an ominous omen for the Devil Cult! Everybody knows that since ancient times only evil people have been struck by lightning. This is a sign that the Righteous Sect will prosper and the Devil Cult will perish. The ones who should be afraid are those evil people! "
Everybody discussed animatedly, and most of them accepted this point of view. They had always been willing to believe in the existence of ghosts and serpents, and had always held great reverence for them. Li Yijie knew very well that it would be difficult to make them completely ignore the omens of nature. If their hearts were still unsteady during the journey, they would only be shaken even more. It would be better to follow their thoughts and give them a convincing reason. That way, it would be even more effective. Although the change in mentality was invisible and intangible, it had a great impact on the battle situation. Thus, there was a saying such as' looking at plum blossoms to quench one's thirst ',' stirring up the spirit in the first drum, weakening the spirit in the second, and exhausting the spirit in the third '.
An Yesun stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His eyes were cold, and nobody knew where he was looking. Seeing Li Yijie talking excitedly, raising his right hand above his ear and shouting slogans, An Yesun felt extremely stupid. He laughed coldly and said, "Hey, Alliance Head Li, whether or not we can conquer the Sacrifice Shadow Sect depends on our strength. What's the use of just relying on your glib tongue to say a few auspicious words to get some praise? Ignorant child! "
Li Yijie turned his head and glared at An Yesun. He had long detested An Yesun, and with the addition of the Nangong Xue incident, he couldn't take it lying down. He said angrily, "Whether it's useful or not, it's not up to you to decide. This has always been my way of raising morale. If you don't want to hear it, then don't listen. "
An Yesun said, "According to what you've said, who would like to hear it? Of course I don't want to pay attention to you, but your voice, which is even worse than a drake's, just happens to reach my ears and disturb my peace. What can I do? You'd better shut your mouth. "
When the troops heard this, snickers could be heard from different parts of the group. Finally, they gathered in one place and burst into loud laughter. Li Yijie didn't have any prestige as the Alliance Head. Everyone temporarily recognized him as the Alliance Head because they had no one to use for the time being. No one present was willing to listen to his orders, and those who listened might not be willing to do anything. Being the Alliance Head in name was indeed a grievance.
