One choice.
This choice was so heavy that it made it hard for everyone to breathe.
Seeing the hesitant Ling Xiao, Bai Yutang was unperturbed. With a chuckle, he said, "Sect Leader Ling Xiao, you have to think carefully. The fate of the Li Fire Sect is completely in your hands. Whether you choose this new disciple who just joined for two months, or the thousand-year foundation of the Li Fire Sect and the safety of thousands of disciples, it all depends on you."
Dead silence.
For a moment, not a single sound could be heard.
The silence was mixed with the sound of heavy breathing.
"You only have the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Bai Yutang shrugged and turned around to lean against an old tree, quietly waiting for Ling Xiao's decision.
In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Lihuo Sect would undergo a drastic change.
Ling Xiao's breathing quickened. This choice was too shocking. No matter which choice he made, he would not be able to make a decision.
"How despicable!"
"That's right, isn't he forcing the Sect Leader?"
Shao Yang and the other five disciples were enraged.
"This bastard!" Su Ming cursed, unable to swallow his anger.
Yin Mo stomped her feet and pointed at Bai Yutang under the tree, yelling at Ling Xiao, "Sect Leader Ling Xiao, what are you afraid of?
Lihuo Sect, no matter how weak we are, is still one of the two great sects in the ancient city. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory. At most, we will accept this Burning Sky Kill Order! "
Ling Xiao shook his head, his face ashen to the extreme. "Yin Mo, you underestimate the Burning Heaven Sect too much. In front of the giant dragon that is the Burning Heaven Sect, we cannot even be considered a local snake. At most, we are just a small loach swimming through the mud."
Hearing this, Yin Mo clenched her fists unwillingly. She brought out the imposing manner she usually used when arguing with Qin Shi and shouted, "So what?
At most, we will fight them to the death. Even if I, Yin Mo, die, I will not be a treacherous person. "
Treachery.
These four words were like a deafening bell, striking everyone present one after another.
However, there were only a few people who would give up their lives for righteousness. Some of the disciples who had heard of Burning Sky Sect showed despair and helplessness towards Burning Sky Sect. Their voices trembled as they said, "Impossible?
Fight?
How can we fight against such a colossus? "
"Yeah, death is the only way, right?"
"Lord Sect Leader, you have to think it through. You can't destroy the entire Lihuo Sect for one person."
Hearing these words, Yin Mo was furious. She roared at the crowd, "What did you say?
Have you forgotten?
If not for Stonehead being around, you guys would have long died in the Burning Heaven Mystic Realm. How would there be the current you guys? "
Qin Shang and the others were also furious.
Su Ming was even more outrageous. He grabbed the disciple who had spoken just now and punched him. "What the f * ck did you say?
Say it again if you have the guts?
Even a dog knows how to be grateful to Stone. Who do you think you are? "
After being sent flying by Su Ming, the disciple became angry. "Yes, senior brother Qin Shi has done us a favor, but does that mean we are destined to die for him?"
His words reverberated in the valley.
Affected by the public opinion, some of the disciples who were afraid of death started discussing in whispers. "That's right, that's right. Lihuo Sect is the foundation of generations of Sect Leaders. Since senior brother Qin Shi is a disciple of Lihuo Sect, he must be able to sacrifice for the sect."
The voices of discussion became louder and louder.
"You … I will kill you!" Su Ming was burning with anger and completely went berserk.
Clatter!
But at this moment, Qin Shi's eyes were indifferent. He suddenly stopped Su Ming. "Fine, he is right. No one owes anyone anything in this world. Just treat it as I, Qin Shi, having misjudged him."
"Stonehead …"
Su Ming was not satisfied with being stopped. He felt dissatisfied on behalf of Qin Shi.
However, Qin Shi only shook his head. The voices of discussion entered his ears and made his heart turn cold.
"In the beginning, you flattered me, but in the end, you betrayed me. Maybe this is the cruelty of reality?"
It was as if he was answering his own question. Qin Shi shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. He then turned to look at Ling Xiao. The final decision was still in Ling Xiao's hands.
Qin Shi knew that his life and death today were all grasped in Ling Xiao's hands.
As long as Ling Xiao nodded, Lin Yun would not hesitate to lead the disciples of Yunding Sect to kill him.
He had no confidence in facing Lin Yun. Even if he had the Wraith Talisman, it would still be the same. Besides, Bai Yutang was right next to him.
Everyone was silent at this moment.
Standing behind Ling Xiao, Mo Chen and the other elders opened their mouths, but immediately shut them again.
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, when the time to drink half a cup of tea was almost up, Ling Xiao finally raised his head indifferently.
The moment he faced Qin Shi, his eyes were filled with heavy guilt. He opened his mouth and weakly said, "Qin Shi, I'm sorry …"
I'm sorry!
These three words made Qin Shi tremble.
"From today onwards, you are no longer … a disciple of my Lihuo Sect …" Ling Xiao closed his eyes and finished his sentence.
Boom!
In an instant, the whole place was as silent as stagnant water.
The rustling wind swept the fallen leaves in the forest.
It was raining.
The sky was filled with hazy clouds, and raindrops filled the forest.
This time, it was the second time in Qin Shi's life that he was betrayed. His heart was in pain and despair, and a kind of loneliness and helplessness spread in his mind.
Last time, it was Yu Lin'er.
And this time, it was all because of Bai Yutang. An unprecedented anger surged in his heart. He smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly. He raised his head and looked at the clouds. "Hehe, God, you are really good at joking."
"Shi Tou, I won't let you die!
Absolutely not. "
Burning Book was slightly hot, Jade in the Book said firmly.
However, Qin Shi just shook his head. He believed that Jade In The Book would not betray him. But facing Lin Yun, facing Bai Yutang, facing the whole Yunding Sect, was there really a chance for him to survive?
He already felt that death was waving at him, calling out to him.
Clap clap clap!
At this moment, there were a few claps. Bai Yutang stood up next to the tree and immediately smiled. "Hehe, Sect Leader Ling Xiao is really smart. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao did not say anything, but just silently lowered his head.
Ignoring Bai Yutang, Yin Mo, Su Ming, Qin Shang, Hao Shuai, and Xu Qiaoer all had a look of disbelief on their faces. At this moment, all of them looked at Ling Xiao with their eyes wide open. "Sect Leader, what you said is not true, right?
You won't give up on Shi Tou, right? "
Ling Xiao did not reply to them. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a few times. His eyes were filled with pain as he shook his head. "Qin Shi, I'm sorry, this is the only thing I can do. Lihuo Sect really cannot be destroyed … I hope you can understand …"
Understand?
"Hehe, hehehe, hahahaha!"
Suddenly, wild laughter echoed in the forest. Qin Shi raised both of his arms and was full of self-mockery. "Good, good, good, this is really f * cking funny. You want me to understand you?
Alright, I will understand you. If Yama really falls, I will definitely praise you with Yama, saying that you are a good Sect Leader who is selfless and does everything for the sake of the sect. "
His voice was deafening and full of sorrow.
"Qin Shi …" Ling Xiao lowered his head and said nothing.
But at this moment, a few disciples next to him shouted, "Qin Shi, what are you saying?
How dare you be rude to the Sect Leader? "
"Rude?
Rude my ass. All of you, remember this. Your lives were exchanged with my life. You are living with the burden of betraying me! "
An unprecedented curse was spat out from Qin Shi's mouth. Immediately, he raised both of his hands and allowed the rain to drip down, washing his pale-white face. "Ha ha, what bullshit justice. On the surface, you all appear dignified, but behind your back, you are just a group of treacherous people."
Self-mockery, sarcasm, pathetic.
All kinds of expressions appeared on Qin Shi's face.
Drenched in the rain, the loneliness in Qin Shi's heart expanded by several times. "Haha, hahaha, what a joke justice. You all look dignified, but behind your back, you are just a bunch of treacherous people.
I don't want to stay in a sect like this! "
Looking at Qin Shi, who was so arrogant, Su Ming, Yin Mo, and Xu Qiaoer were momentarily speechless.
"Well said. I don't want to stay. I will live and die with you!"
Unexpectedly, Su Ming suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Qin Shi. He laughed as if he was looking at death calmly. "Even if I die, I will not betray my brother."
Qin Shi was stunned. "Su Ming …"
"Su Ming, what are you doing?
You are still a disciple of Lihuo Sect. As the Sect Leader, I order you to come back! "Ling Xiao shouted angrily when he saw Su Ming's actions.
Unexpectedly, Su Ming turned his head in a mocking manner. He grabbed the Li Fire plate at his waist, poured his spiritual power into it, and crushed it. He said with disdain, "Order?
Order my ass. I will leave Lihuo Sect right now. You can order whoever you want. "
"You …" Ling Xiao was stunned by Su Ming's actions. He was speechless.
Looking at the stunned Ling Xiao, Su Ming shouted again, "Hmph, you are the Sect Leader. Today, I will teach you something. Remember it well.
Life is also what I want. Righteousness is also what I want. If I cannot have both, I will sacrifice my life for righteousness! "
His excited voice echoed in the air along with the pieces of the plate.
Bang!
At this time, just when everyone was shocked, another explosion sounded in the forest. Immediately, Xu Qiaoer, holding the powder in her hands, stepped forward, "Brother Shitou, I'll accompany you too!"
Bang!
Bang!
Qin Shang also stepped forward. "Stone has given me a new lease on life. Count me in!"
"Count me in!" Yin Mo crushed the Li Fire plate in her hand and stepped forward with her head held high.
"Qiaoer … Brother Shang, Flat Chest … You guys …" Looking at the four of them, Qin Shi's dead heart seemed to have been rekindled.
"Don't be pretentious. I said that even if I die, I will not betray my brother." Yin Mo interrupted Qin Shi.
At this moment, Qin Shi was suddenly at a loss for words. The helplessness of being abandoned by the sect had pushed him into the abyss.
But in his daze, he felt that it was worth it to be able to see these friends who were willing to die for him at this moment of life and death.
"You guys …"
Ling Xiao trembled in silence.
Looking at the four of them, Bai Yutang was briefly stunned before he burst into laughter, "Haha, what a touching scene. What a touching scene!"
He turned to Lin Yun and asked, "Hey, Sect Master Lin, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
Lin Yun was briefly stunned before he nodded his head. Revealing his fangs, he glared at Qin Shi, "Hehe, you little brat. Without Ling Xiao and the Lihuo Sect to back you up, I would like to see who can save you."
"Hmph, I don't care about a dog as a shield!"
However, Qin Shi's laughter was ear-piercing as he cursed.
"What a good curse," Lin Yun mocked.
Lin Yun mocked. Soon after, he raised his hand and beckoned to the elders of the Cloud Cauldron Sect beside him, "Kill them …"
In an instant, the elders charged out and purple rays of light exploded in the sky.
Looking at the cold light, Qin Shi took a deep breath and looked at Su Ming, Yin Mo, and the others. He smiled bitterly, "You guys better think this through. You will die if you follow me."
"Who's afraid of death?
Have you forgotten that I have people above me? "Su Ming laughed.
Yin Mo and the others nodded their heads in agreement, "That's right. Since we're going to die, why don't we die a glorious death?"
Looking at the few of them, Qin Shi's heavy heart suddenly relaxed. Waves of arrogance soared, and the corners of his mouth revealed his usual hooligan smile, "Haha, in the past, I couldn't tell that you all actually have the ability to remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you. If that's the case, then I'm the one being unreasonable!"
