"Rebellion?" Li Chengfeng laughed angrily. "See for yourself!"
Li Chengfeng pointed behind him. There were only a few people left in the large square. He roared, "What rebellion am I trying to rebel against?
Why would I rebel?
Am I supposed to be the head of a grassroots group?
Look, how many people are left in Hidden Sword Court?
Can we even complete a formation? "
Ever since Li Chengfeng entered Hidden Sword Court, he had always felt wronged, especially when he was mistaken as a traitor. Although he was optimistic, he was still a little depressed. Now that Han Tianxing had appeared, his suppressed emotions finally erupted.
Most importantly, he did not approve of Grand Senior Brother's solution!
"There are only a few people left. If you chase them out, you'll not only be destroying everyone's hearts, you'll also destroy everyone who wants to join Hidden Sword Court!" raged Li Chengfeng.
Grand Senior Brother roared, "We can't live any longer!
We can only have a future if we live through this! "
Li Chengfeng raged, "Does it have anything to do with Han Tianxing whether we survive or not?"
Grand Senior Brother raged, "What's his relationship with you? Why must you save him?!"
He raged, "Because I don't want to see anyone being abandoned again!"
Li Chengfeng's roar shook the square. Everyone looked at him with complicated gazes, especially Grand Senior Brother, Qin Mieqin and Ouyang Nan.
Li Chengfeng raged, "Yes, Hidden Sword Court is the most important, I understand!
When the nest is overturned, no eggs will remain intact!
However, if we abandon Zhang San in the face of a threat today, and then abandon Li Si in the face of difficulties tomorrow, then what about the day after tomorrow?
Hmm? "
Li Chengfeng walked up to Su You and pointed at him. "He's in danger the day after tomorrow. For the sake of Hidden Sword Court's safety, should we abandon him?"
Su You opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he felt a lump in his throat, making it hard for him to speak.
Li Chengfeng pointed at Tianjun. "We're in danger again the day after tomorrow. Shouldn't we abandon him now?
And, him, him? "
Li Chengfeng pointed at them one by one until he finally pointed at himself. He smirked. "Me?
Oh, sorry, this person has already been abandoned once!
However, he was lucky and did not die!
So, we can all be abandoned, but you are the only exception, right?
Because you represent Hidden Sword Court?
Eldest Senior Brother? "
Li Chengfeng's last sentence was enunciated word by word, each word striking the heart!
Eldest Senior Brother's expression was extremely ugly. He clenched his fists tightly and his body trembled slightly.
Qin Mieqin could not help but say, "Li Chengfeng, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm babbling nonsense?" Li Chengfeng laughed. "Yes, I'm babbling nonsense!
But I want you to know that if you abandon one today and another tomorrow, in the end, you will be abandoning everyone!
Eldest Senior Brother, have you ever thought about why when Huangfu Song came that day, Sun Yongcai could summon hundreds of people?
Why?! "
This question reverberated in the air, shaking everyone's hearts.
"That's right, it's because Hidden Sword Court has fallen!
But isn't the bigger reason because the Hidden Sword Court doesn't want to protect us? "
This sentence slammed into everyone's hearts. Even Qin Mieqin was speechless when he opened his mouth to retort.
"Don't all these people understand that it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a cow?
Don't they understand that there's no future in being a servant in Hidden Brocade Court? "
"No, of course they understand!
Anyone who can become a cultivator is an idiot who doesn't understand reason!
But why did they all leave?
Because they know that there's no future in staying here and they could be abandoned at any time!
Plus, some arrogant people call this abandonment 'sacrifice'! "
"Enough!" Eldest Senior Brother roared, veins popping on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot. "What do you know?
Do you know how much we've sacrificed for Hidden Sword Court?! "
"Sacrifice?!" Li Chengfeng roared too, "Let me tell you!
Just like the Heavenly Thirteen Swords of the past, sacrificing yourself for your fellow sect members and willingly dying in battle for your comrades by your side!
That's sacrifice!
Have you asked those who were abandoned?
Have you asked their wishes?
If they're not willing, that's not sacrifice!
That's abandonment, that's betrayal! "
Li Chengfeng's angry roar was like a bolt of lightning striking everyone's hearts. They could almost feel it!
Indeed!
Sacrifice. That was what Grand Senior Brother emphasized the most!
Sacrifice for Hidden Sword Court!
This had always been their firm belief!
But why must they sacrifice for Hidden Sword Court?
That was the question in every new disciple's mind. What was so important about Hidden Sword Court that they had to sacrifice?
Was it because Hidden Sword Court knew they could no longer join other sects?
Hidden Sword Court could not even protect their own disciples and could be abandoned at any time. Who would be willing to sacrifice for a place like this?
The dignified Hidden Sword Court couldn't even protect its own disciple, and could be abandoned at any time. Who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for a place like this?
Even Grand Senior Brother stood rooted to the ground, his expression wavering. Could it be that he … was wrong?
Li Chengfeng said, "Hidden Sword Court is in a precarious situation now, it's risky to take Han Tianxing in!
"Hidden Sword Court is currently in a precarious situation, it's risky to take Han Tianxing in!
But crisis, as the name suggested, with danger, there would be opportunities!
In my opinion, this is the best time to show off!
Because we can let those who have left Hidden Sword Court see that we, Hidden Sword Court, will protect everyone who comes to seek refuge with us. They will not be abandoned and sacrificed so easily! "
He looked around and said slowly, "Those who agree with me, raise your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Blockhead immediately raised his hand, followed by Zhao Yibai and Qu Tongqiu, who were standing at the back of the group. Soon, Su You and Tianjun looked at Grand Senior Brother with complicated gazes as they slowly raised their hands.
After a while, An Tong and Qiu Chuqiu raised their hands at the same time. They looked at each other and quickly smiled. However, as soon as they smiled, they felt that something was wrong and immediately stopped smiling. They tightened their faces and lowered their heads, not daring to look Eldest Senior Brother in the eye.
After a while, Ouyang Nan wanted to raise his hand too but just as he moved, Qin Mieqin grabbed his wrist. Stunned, Ouyang Nan's temper flared as he glared threateningly at Qin Mieqin.
However, Qin Mieqin glared back at Ouyang Nan coldly, refusing to budge, his eyes fierce.
Ouyang Nan and Qin Mieqin stared at each other for a while. In the end, he did not raise his hand again. Even so, Li Chengfeng was clearly the majority of the crowd. Grand Senior Brother also noticed Ouyang Nan's actions.
Grand Senior Brother knew very well that Mieqin might even agree with what Li Chengfeng said. He just did not agree because he wanted to protect Li Chengfeng's reputation.
"Was I really wrong?" Grand Senior Brother's eyes were filled with pain and confusion.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Very quickly, he looked at Li Chengfeng with determination, then at everyone present. At this moment, he seemed to have aged ten years. Although his eyes were still stubborn and determined, his complexion had obviously deteriorated.
Grand Senior Brother took a deep breath, looked at Li Chengfeng one last time, then left without a word.
At this moment, everyone in the surroundings knew that the already weak Hidden Sword Court had once again been severely split apart because of a problem of ideals!
