Chapter 43: Unlocking the Heart



The wind in the back mountain was very strong, making the sect leader robe that Zhang Xianfeng had just put on whistle.

Lin Yang looked at Zhang Xianfeng's back, and saw that Zhang Xianfeng, who was once able to stand tall and hold off millions of demon cultivators with his sword, now looked a little desolate and lonely.

After a while, Zhang Xianfeng retracted his gaze and asked:

"What's wrong? What do you want from me? Are you thinking about inheriting the position of clan leader?"

Lin Yang curled his lips helplessly, "Can't I come to you because I found a way to save you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianfeng snorted coldly, clearly showing that he did not believe it.

"Come on, can you find a way to save me so quickly?"

"I really found it. I need some herbs to make a pill. Then I will have a way to repair your Dantian."

Listening to Lin Yang's serious words, Zhang Xianfeng turned around and looked at Lin Yang, and asked suspiciously:

"You kid, you didn't please me, did you? Have you really found a way to repair my Dantian? "

...

...

Lin Yang spread his hands and said casually:

"If I really wanted to please you, I should have told you that I wanted to be the clan leader. Wouldn't you be happier then?"

"That's true... Never mind. If you can really repair my Dantian, I can continue to be the sect leader for a few more years."

"But... I have to find someone to inherit my position. If you delay now, you won't be able to escape in the future."

Zhang Xianfeng snorted coldly, but Lin Yang didn't seem to care much. Let's talk about it later.

Then Lin Yang smiled and asked Zhang Xianfeng: "Sect Master, the resources in the sect's treasury..."

"If you can heal my Dantian, you can use the resources as you like."

After hearing this, Lin Yang finally felt relieved. After all, having a pill formula but no medicinal materials would be quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect is the largest sect in Zhongzhou after all, and with its rich foundation, it has all the medicinal herbs it wants.

Then, Zhang Xianfeng sighed again and asked Lin Yang:

"Xiao Yang, do you know how many people from our sect died in this war?"

Lin Yang shook his head, and Zhang Xianfeng was silent for a moment. Then he took a breath and let it go suddenly.

"6,149 people died."

Hearing this horrifying number, Lin Yang fell silent. With more than 6,000 people dead, how many families would be affected?

"But... you came early. If you had come later, there would probably be more casualties."

"That's why I want you to be the clan leader, because I want you to save more lives."

Lin Yang shook his head calmly and said calmly: "I can save more lives even if I don't become the sect leader."

"If you are not the leader, you are just a sword that kills people. You can save people, but more importantly, you can kill people."

"But as the leader of this sect, you are the one holding the sword. Whether to save or kill, everything depends on your thoughts."

Lin Yang did not speak in response. Zhang Xianfeng sighed and then said:

"Alright, we'll discuss these things later. The sect has suffered heavy casualties and needs to recruit disciples."

"You can go and inform Wang Zide to handle this matter."

Lin Yang nodded and then left the back mountain.

After leaving the back mountain, he went to Jianfeng, but found that Jianfeng, which was extremely lively in the past, now seemed a little desolate.

Jianfeng is a fighting sect among the major peaks. When the war comes, it will naturally be the main force to fight.

But precisely because he was at the forefront, Jian Feng was the one who paid the highest price among the main peaks.

In the past, Jianfeng had hundreds of disciples, but now, it is empty and looks very desolate.

Lin Yang sighed, then flew directly to Jianfeng and came to the main hall of Jianfeng, but found that Wang Zide was not there at all.

"Strange, why don't any of you stay in the main hall today?"

Lin Yang scratched his head and finally left the main hall and began to look for Wang Zide's figure on the sword edge.

He searched on the sword edge for a long time, and finally saw Wang Zide, who now looked lonely, in front of the door of a cave.

Lin Yang fell to the ground, and Wang Zide saw Lin Yang and forced a smile.

"Master Lin Feng, how come you have time to come visit my Jianfeng?"

Previously, Lin Yang and Wang Zide had always been in a state of tension. Now that Wang Zide has become polite, Lin Yang is a little uncomfortable with it.

He touched his head and then said, "I need to find you for something. I went to the hall just now but couldn't find you."

Wang Zide smiled bitterly and then said:

"My Jianfeng disciples are almost all dead. What's the difference between me as the peak master and a commander without troops? What's the point of staying in that hall?"

Hearing this, Lin Yang didn't know what to say, so he had to sit opposite Wang Zide.

Looking at this long-sealed cave, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Master Wang Feng, whose cave is this?"

"My apprentice, Zhao Feng's."

Lin Yang immediately slapped his mouth, cursing himself in his heart, for not asking what he should have asked and stepping on the landmine when he shouldn't have asked.

After a while, Wang Zide suddenly asked:

"Master Lin Feng, do you think Zhao Feng is a good person?"

Lin Yang was silent for a moment, and after a long while, he spoke in a complicated tone:

“People are complicated and cannot be generalized.

“You want to say that Zhao Feng is not a good person, but in the years since he became the eldest senior brother, he has killed countless evil monsters, saved countless mortals, and set an example for countless disciples of the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect.”

"Aren't these all his achievements? If you go out and say that the person who has these achievements is actually a bad person, who would believe it?"

“But if you want to say that Zhao Feng is a good person, that’s not easy to say. After all, he came from the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect and was sent to our sect as an undercover agent.”

"You said that over the years, he and Wu Qingshan have revealed so much information about our sect to the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, and caused our disciples to be in danger so many times. It's hard to tell how many times."

"If you go out and say that the guy who did these things is actually a good person, no one will believe it."

"So, everything has two sides. We can't just look at one side and make a conclusion. That would be unfair to Zhao Feng."

"To put it in plain language, I think this kid is pretty good, a prodigal son who finally made the right choice at the last moment."

Only after Lin Yang finished speaking did Wang Zide, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Yang knew that Wang Zide had untied the knot in his heart.

Wang Zide patted Lin Yang on the shoulder and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Master Lin Feng, for helping me untie the knot that had been weighing on my heart for so long."

Lin Yang smiled awkwardly, "It's OK as long as you can come out."

Then, Wang Zide remembered something and continued to ask, "By the way, Master Lin Feng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
