Chapter 907: Apologizing with Death
Sure enough, as Lin Xiao expected, in just a few days, the matter of Penglai spread all over the immortal cultivation world, and the low-level disciples were extremely angry at the inaction of the high-level of the sect, and asked the high-level to express their position, Penglai is like this, Kunlun and Wen Xianmen can't escape, and even more so when they arrive in Nanzhou.
Moreover, after Lin Xiao's many integrations, the Nanzhou monks are more radical than the Zhongzhou monks on this matter, they have great expectations for Lin Xiao, hoping that Lin Xiao can stand up and raise his arms, thousands of Jingcong, and then completely expel the demon clan and restore the peace of the human race.
Under the anger of the crowd, Kunlun and Wenxian actually lacked experience in dealing with it, and they didn't dare to express their stance easily, just suppressed and delayed.
Lin Xiao behaved with ease, he first stood up and denounced the behavior of some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and then preached that the war between the two races was a battle of life and death, and it was the entire human race, regardless of the war of monks and mortals, it must be fought to the end, so that the human race could stand tall in this world, instead of becoming a slave of the demon race.
A speech made the blood of countless monks boil, and Lin Xiao's prestige skyrocketed again, who made Lin Xiao the first monk to come out and express his attitude?
But then, Lin Xiao secretly commanded the manpower and concocted a few articles, which were widely circulated in private, these articles described in detail the current situation of the human race and the demon race, whether the demon race is in the territory, the low-level demon beast, or the high-level demon king, is stronger than the human race in all aspects.
In terms of the human race, the situation is worrying, not to mention the sects, the contradictions between regions, even in terms of strength, they are at a disadvantage, the previous war on the Central Continent, the elite of the human race died too much, and the treasury was emptied, and now in addition to Beizhou, there are still some family backgrounds in the hands of other forces, and the treasury of other forces is not empty, but Beizhou is only a million monks, can it afford so many troops, and it can't afford it.
The whole article is full of negative emotions, feeling that the human race will undoubtedly lose the battle with the demon race at this time, and the end of the human race is coming.
At this time, Lin Xiao appeared again, and publicly analyzed these articles, Lin Xiao inherited that some of these articles were true, such as the part where the strength of the human race was inferior to that of the demon race, but he resolutely denied the argument that the human race would undoubtedly lose.
Lin Xiao took out the historical facts of the Qingdi era to argue, in the early days of the Qingdi era, although the human race resisted the demon clan for a long time, its strength was very weak, and the demon clan was still extremely strong.
But the Qing Emperor did not admit defeat, did not think that the human race should be the slave of the demon race, let them kill and bully at will, the Qing Emperor conquered the Quartet, united the large tribes at that time, defeated the demon tribe's attacks again and again, and constantly opened up the territory of the human race, and it took tens of thousands of years to lay down most of the territory in Central Continent today.
Therefore, Lin Xiao also asked today's monks to learn the spirit of the young emperor of the past, not to confront the demon clan, it doesn't matter if you avoid it, the key now is to accumulate resources, arm yourself, and develop silently, and when you are strong and high-level monks emerge in an endless stream, it is time to expel the demon clan and open up a broader living space for the human race.
Lin Xiao published a number of articles, telling about the preservation of people and lost land, the survival of people and land, the loss of people and land, the loss of people and land, as well as strategic evasion, preservation of strength, etc., to unify the minds of Nanzhou monks, so that they realized that now is not the time to fight with the demon clan, what they should do is to work hard to accumulate resources, the farming of the farm, the mining of the mining, the cultivation of the highly talented monks should work hard to practice, break through the cultivation, to accumulate all the strength, to prepare for the future war.
After some operation, Nanzhou was safe, and the strength of all the monks not only did not decrease, but it became even higher, but they did not ask the high-level to immediately fight against the demon clan, but turned to production, and worked harder.
Lin Xiao's method of turning decay into magic amazed Kunlun and Wenxian Sect and other sects, are those that Lin Xiao said fresh, not new, I don't know how many people can think of it, but why do others say it's useless, and the effect of what Lin Xiao said is so great?
They didn't know the mystery, but this did not prevent them from learning from Lin Xiao, and soon after, Kunlun Wenxian and other sects also published articles similar to Lin Xiao to appease their disciples, and they even quoted the data of those articles that Lin Xiao commanded and secretly circulated, telling the plight of the human race, so that everyone should not be anxious, and first restore their strength.
·······
The trends of thought in various places slowly faded, but Penglai couldn't learn this trick, because no matter how they explained it, they couldn't avoid the fact that Penglai gave the Book of Heaven to the Demon Clan, and Penglai couldn't explain the truth of the Book of Heaven, because he couldn't stop the comeback of the Demon Clan.
But someone must be responsible for this matter, if no one is responsible, then the cohesion within Penglai may collapse, and now not only the low-level disciples are extremely disappointed in the high-level, even the high-level monks are the same, only a few people know the truth of the Book of Heaven, and even people of Yu Huanhuan's status don't know.
So Han Yuncheng came out to be responsible, and he must be responsible for this matter, he is the chief elder of the sect, and he controls the power of the sect, and only the supreme has a higher status than him, so he can't let the supreme come out and take the blame, besides, he made peace with the demon clan, handed over, and became a hostage, all of which he did personally, and he didn't have to explain it.
Han Yuncheng convened the high-ranking monks of the sect to discuss the matter, and Han Yuncheng, who was sitting at the head of the main hall, felt countless strange eyes, but his demeanor was natural.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there have been disturbances in various places recently, and there are many accusations against some of Penglai's practices, today's topic is this matter, what was the situation at that time, you know, the high-level monks of the Immortal League withdrew, the mountain gate and Penglai City were besieged, and the three hundred seriously injured demon clans could explode at any time to open the mountain protection array, and the destruction of the sect was in an instant.
The demon clan wants us to withdraw from the army in exchange for the Book of Heaven, the Supreme Ancestor would rather die than give in, this matter is what I agree, don't worry, listen to me slowly, Penglai is one of the top sects in the world, guarding the safety of one-third of the territory of Central Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, and the bull's ear of the sect in the world is also our Penglai for hundreds of thousands of years, the ancestors of the past generations have paid blood and sweat to cast, I can't bear it, I don't want Penglai to perish.
This matter is borne by Han Mou, and I hope that you will not complain in the future, obey the call of the Supreme Ancestor, and continue to be loyal to the sect.
Some time ago, what Lin Xiao said was a wise saying, the human race is weak today, we should not compete with the demon race, but to silently develop strength, accumulate resources, martial arts and soldiers, and wait until the strength is enough to fight with the demon race, the human race is eternal, Penglai is evergreen, Han Mou..."
"Senior Brother Han"
"Han Lao Zu"
"Senior Brother"
"Master..."
Everyone looked at Han Yuncheng, and as Han Yuncheng spoke, a stream of black and smelly blood flowed from his mouth and nose, which made all the monks exclaim.
"Don't touch him, it's too late"
Everyone wanted to get close to Han Yuncheng, Penglai Supreme appeared and stopped everyone, he knew this result in advance, Han Yuncheng became responsible for this Penglai incident, his ouster alone was not enough, Han Yuncheng decided to apologize with death, and even the poison he took was given by the Supreme himself.
"Ancestor, this, this, shouldn't be"
"Yes, Ancestor, it's me who is incompetent, I can't beat the demon clan, Senior Brother Han, he..."
"Old Ancestor..."
Everyone was greatly shocked to see an Eighth Realm Ancestor commit suicide like this, for millions of years, Han Yuncheng may have been the first Eighth Realm cultivator to commit suicide, and he had never heard of the second one, which made everyone forget the cynicism towards Han Yuncheng before.
"Enough, Yun Cheng died because of the sect, of course, there is a mistake, but Yun Cheng has already paid the price, since you know that your strength is not good, then work hard to cultivate, and avenge Yun Cheng in the future"
"Yes, Ancestor, practice hard and take revenge"
"Revenge"
"Revenge"
Countless monks shouted together at this moment, and their voices resounded through the clouds, but Han Yuncheng couldn't come back, he was extremely resolute, and the poison he took dissolved with his soul, and his soul was scattered.
Penglai Supreme then appointed Li Xuanji as the new chief ancestor of Penglai, and chose to deal with Han Yuncheng's funeral in a low-key manner, and Han Yuncheng's suicide also calmed the emotions of Penglai monks, even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to discuss it publicly.
After Kunlun and Wen Xianmen learned about Han Yuncheng's matter, they also sighed, and some people in the know regretted that Han Yuncheng should not have ended up like this, and he was burdened with all the stigma.
But this is also the only solution that Han Yuncheng can think of, he doesn't have Lin Xiao's talent, he can easily sway the trend of public opinion, what he can do is to solve this crisis for the sect at the cost of his own life.
Soon after, the Han family monks retired from various important positions in Penglai, and even the family mountain gate was returned to Penglai, and a remote spiritual mountain in Penglai was chosen as a foothold, and disappeared in the eyes of everyone in Penglai.
This is not that Penglai is harsh on the Han family, but to protect them, Han Yuncheng is in a high position, and everyone in the Han family is also in a position with oil and water, which can be said to be extremely wealthy, and now that Han Yuncheng is dead, it is difficult to protect their interests, so it is better to take the initiative to retreat by himself.
Moreover, the Penglai Supreme has promised the rest of the Han family's high-level that as long as Penglai has accumulated strong enough strength to carry out a counterattack on the demon clan, he will personally come forward to wash away Han Yuncheng's stigma, and then the sect will also compensate the Han family, and even the three supremes will personally accept the Han family monk as an apprentice, and the Han family agreed.
