Chapter 488: Chapter 182: Each Generation Has Its Own Task to Fulfill (6k)_4
"Moreover, this Four-Color Killing Array and the Spirit Severing Realm jade slip all come from him. He’s the one who saved all of us." Cao Zhengyang’s voice gradually rose, filled with uncontrollable excitement.
If it weren’t for Zhou Qing’s prior warning and orderly commands after entering the array, the Taiqing Sect would have long been annihilated.
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly, then said, "So, this is why you told the disciples in desperation that Zhou Qing was at the other end waiting for them?"
"Haha, this child not only killed the five great prodigies of Cangyan Daoist Palace but now has also saved everyone. He now possesses all the qualities to be convincing!" After finishing, Cao Zhengyang had another violent cough.
Mo Xingjian, however, smiled and said, "Senior brother, shall we make a bet?"
"What?" Cao Zhengyang asked curiously.
Mo Xingjian chuckled, "Taiqing Sect is too small; the position of Sect Leader would only become a shackle for him."
"Haha, it seems your expectations of him are even higher than mine. I’m really curious, what kind of Heavenly Dao Qi did you give him for refinement?" Cao Zhengyang asked curiously.
Mo Xingjian shook his head, "I didn’t give him anything, it was Second Uncle who did."
Cao Zhengyang was momentarily taken aback.
Soon after, his thoughts churned, seemingly recalling various past events, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.
Then Cao Zhengyang looked at the distant scene of carnage and did not continue to dwell on the topic. Instead, he sighed deeply, his eyes full of worry and helplessness.
"Mo, am I being a bit selfish?" Cao Zhengyang asked, with a trace of confusion and self-blame.
Mo Xingjian also cast his eyes towards the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, his expression complex, silent.
He deeply understood Cao Zhengyang’s current state of mind and his difficulties.
This battle, which had lasted for two full months, along with the terrifying self-destruction of the Demon Kings, left an unknown number of people forever buried here.
When everyone thought victory was in sight, the hidden Four-Color Killing Array suddenly activated. Apart from the Taiqing Sect being prepared, everyone else was caught off guard.
Countless people were directly reduced to ashes under the terrifying red lightning.
The disciples of the Three Sects... no, to be precise, the disciples of the Four Sects, including the people of Phecda Sect, were directly attacked indiscriminately as their meridians had long been exhausted of spiritual power.
As for the high ranking members of Cangyan Daoist Palace and others, it was unknown when they had quietly retreated.
Earlier, they thought the Phecda Sect’s members, being henchmen, must have something to escape with, but to their surprise, they were also part of the calculation.
The Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect had several Late-stage Divinity Transformation elders who chose to self-destruct, trying to use their sacrifice to carve out a path for escape.
However, all their efforts were in vain, all failed.
Even the Teleportation Scrolls were rendered ineffective under the powerful Four-Color Killing Array, as if they were bound by some mysterious power.
Cao Zhengyang did not stop the people from the Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect from attempting to save themselves.
Seeing that they had exhausted all their means and were utterly desperate, he quickly gathered his disciples and used the jade slip left by Zhou Qing to open a gap, providing a slim chance of survival for the Taiqing Sect disciples.
Mo Xingjian looked at his senior brother, knowing his heart was filled with conflict, but who could blame him for the position he was in.
Precisely because he understood, he would never allow Zhou Qing to face such a choice in the future.
After a brief hesitation, Mo Xingjian said, "Senior brother, you should have seen that Sikong Yan is not just at the Late-stage Divinity Transformation but at Great Perfection. You have a long road ahead, and now is not the time to incur a Heart Demon."
"Moreover, the Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect preserving forty percent of their strength is already very fortunate. I’ll go call them together!"
After saying this, Mo Xingjian greeted the other Peak Masters and instantly left.
Cao Zhengyang opened his mouth, then turned it into a bitter smile.
He still lacked ruthlessness, but if he were truly ruthless, he wouldn’t be Cao Zhengyang.
