Zhou Lu sighed deeply, and then continued to offer his advice:
"Ninth Junior Sister, Third Senior Brother is right. The tribulation is not far off. The crisis that Earth will face in the future will be a thousand times more terrifying than this. They need to adapt to this cruelty in advance."
"The country here takes the interests of ordinary people too seriously; to put it bluntly, it's too benevolent. There's nothing inherently wrong with this mindset."
"But in this tribulation, we will be facing an unparalleled cultivation master. If we still have such concerns, how can we possibly defeat them?"
"Don't blame your third senior brother for being cold-blooded. Some minds can only be awakened by bloodshed. People only learn from pain."
Zhou Lu sighed deeply, then looked directly at Tang Jingxiang and said earnestly:
"The people who died here were all innocent, but I didn't know them and I can't empathize with them."
"But I don't want to see Xiao Mo and you all die in front of me one day, so I agree with Third Senior Brother's decision."
Tang Jingxiang was speechless.
He then forcibly withdrew his gaze from the horrific battlefield, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Chu Mo is now the Holy Son of the Xuan Tian Sect.
Once it is confirmed that the Xuantian Sect in the Kunlun Realm has been destroyed, he will become the new sect leader.
Even if the Xuantian Sect of Kunlun Realm still existed, they wanted to support him so that he could compete for the future position of sect leader.
Therefore, she inwardly agreed with her third senior brother's desire to enhance Chu Mo's influence in the Dragon Kingdom.
However, looking at those innocent people who died tragically, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy and pity.
"Ninth Junior Sister, only when people experience despair will they remember the help they received from others. That's human nature."
Looking at the devastating battlefield in the distance, Jiang Fengchun remained calm and composed.
Having cultivated Taoism for thousands of years, he had long since become indifferent to the birth, aging, sickness, and death of others.
He wasn't that great; he just wanted to make sure the people he cared about were alive.
"In this country, Xiao Mo must have the supreme right to speak."
"I don't want him to fight for power and profit, and he wouldn't do such a thing, but I want him to have the power and prestige to make all the decisions when disaster strikes!"
"Not only here, but also throughout the sect, we must ensure that the disciples establish proper rules. He is the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect and the future sect leader!"
"Third senior brother, I understand."
Tang Jingxiang nodded seriously, then asked with concern:
"Should we go help our senior brother later?"
"Don't rush, the other side won't be able to do anything to Senior Brother for the time being." Jiang Fengchun said calmly.
"Third Senior Brother, is it because Eldest Senior Brother was too strict with you in the past that you're deliberately stalling for time?"
Zhou Lu looked at him suspiciously.
The eldest brother, Qin Potian, was much older than them and had always been the one to teach them on behalf of their master.
On the surface, he was their senior, but in reality, he was practically half a teacher.
It can be said that from childhood to old age, their feelings towards Qin Potian included not only admiration and respect, but also a sense of awe, as if they were facing a teacher.
Upon hearing Zhou Lu's words, Jiang Fengchun, who had been calm, couldn't help but become slightly anxious and said:
"Fifth brother, you can't just say things like that. Who's deliberately delaying us?"
"Also, we thought they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon, so we wanted to go to Japan beforehand to find out the situation, which caused the rescue to be delayed. Do you all remember that?"
Faced with this obviously flawed excuse, the other Nascent Soul cultivators nodded solemnly.
As for why, it's because everyone went to find out the situation...
Isn't it safer when there are more people?
If we were to encounter them, we wouldn't be completely helpless.
Whether the Holy Son believes it or not is not important, as long as the three patriarchs are there to protect him.
At this moment, the battle on the battlefield was already raging fiercely.
However, although Hu Guanxiong and the other two Golden Core cultivators, as well as the seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, were all injured, none of them died.
Even Hu Guanxiong was filled with doubt, as the other party clearly had several opportunities to kill one of them.
But for some reason, the Nascent Soul cultivator completely ignored it.
Are they treating people like monkeys to be played with?
Or is there a bigger conspiracy?
Little did he know that the other party was merely nurturing an enemy to maintain their own importance, simply to avoid fighting Qin Potian to the death.
Before them, this Nascent Soul cultivator was the master of their lives.
But on another battlefield, his life would be in the hands of others.
Didn't I see the other two companions? Although they were stronger, were they all talk and no action?
They're all shrewd people who've lived for thousands of years; none of them are any less intelligent than the other.
Otherwise, if they fought desperately, those two might have had a chance to defeat their opponent.
Therefore, to demonstrate the ferocity of the battle, the surrounding buildings and ordinary people suffered.
Buildings collapse from time to time...
The chief and Zhou Shouzhen, who were under the protection of a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, were now beginning to show signs of despair.
Although they couldn't participate in the battle above, they could still glean some insights from it.
At this rate, the Dragon Kingdom probably won't be able to hold out for much longer.
Once those masters are defeated or even wiped out, the real disaster for the Dragon Kingdom will begin.
"Captain Lu, did you understand the battle on Senior Qin's side? What's the situation?"
The chief's face was solemn, with deep worry and pessimism flashing in his eyes.
"I'm afraid... this is not good!" Lu Fangzhou's face showed pain and helplessness.
As the captain of the Dragon Soul Guard Hidden Blade Squad, he has now entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
He is often needed to handle various disturbances or incidents caused by cultivators within the country.
But today, he doesn't even have the right to go up and fight.
