Chapter 13381 Put aside the internal struggle and be outward

At this time, several other young men who did not participate in the battle last time also stood up to express their opinions, their faces full of determination and courage. They knew that this battle was not only for themselves, but also for the future of the entire Demon Suppression Mansion.

However, among this group of determined young people, there were also some who were hesitant. For example, Zhang Ruochen, the young man who was once known as the number one prodigy in the Demon Suppression House. His expression changed again and again after hearing Hua Shan's words, as if he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.

"I have no problem taking action. For the sake of the Demon Suppression Mansion, there is nothing to say." Zhang Ruochen finally spoke. There was a hint of firmness in his voice, but then he became angry.

"But I can't cooperate with those bastards from the Soul Clan." His words were filled with disgust and dissatisfaction towards the Soul Clan, but his resistance to cooperation also put him in a dilemma.

Hearing this, the same ripples arose in the hearts of many people present, and complex expressions appeared on their faces, including anger, helplessness, and worries about the future.

Master Qi clenched his fists and spat out a few words hatefully: "Yeah, it's so unpleasant to join forces with them. I feel sick at the thought of fighting alongside the Soul Clan who once massacred our compatriots." His voice trembled slightly with anger, and his eyes revealed his deep hatred for the Soul Clan.

Hua Shan sighed softly, her gaze seemed to penetrate time and space, returning to that war-torn era.

"I didn't expect that... but if we don't join forces, we will all die!" Her voice was low and firm, with a hint of unquestionable determination.

She knew very well that the current situation did not allow them to have any hesitation or retreat, and that only by uniting all the forces that could be united could they win this battle of life and death.

At this point, everyone's eyes turned to Ling Xiao, as if they were all waiting for him to make the final decision. Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, as if he was looking for some kind of answer.

"To be honest, I don't want to cooperate with the Soul Clan either." Ling Xiao finally spoke. His voice was low and powerful, revealing his deep nostalgia for the past and his firm belief in the future.

"I have witnessed with my own eyes that people from the Soul Clan killed our people. The bodies of the killed people are still warm. It is really uncomfortable for me to cooperate with them." There was a firm light flashing in his eyes, which was a remembrance of hatred.

Zhang Ruochen nodded when he heard this, his voice a little hoarse: "Yes, many of our brothers died in their hands! I will never forget the pain of losing my loved ones." His tone was full of hatred for the Soul Clan and nostalgia for his deceased comrades.

Master Qi also nodded heavily, his brows furrowed, as if there was a huge rock pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to let go.

"When I think of this, I can't let it go!" His voice was deep and powerful, revealing his inner struggle and pain. His eyes flashed with a firm light, which was a memory of hatred, but at the same time mixed with helplessness and confusion.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao changed the subject. He stared at everyone with a sharp gaze, and said firmly and forcefully, "I will not let you forget the hatred, and I don't want to forget it either. The memories of blood and tears are our driving force and our roots that we cannot give up. But now, we have a stronger enemy."

There was an unquestionable determination in his tone, as if telling everyone that we must face reality and make a choice.

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head and looked through the tightly closed window, as if he could penetrate all obstacles and see the battlefield in the distance.

His voice became soft and deep: "If we join forces, there may be a glimmer of hope. At this time, no matter how unhappy you are, you have to let it go!" His eyes revealed a firm belief in the future and a desire for victory, as if telling everyone that only by unity can we overcome the difficulties before us.

Hatred? He felt it just as clearly. The bodies of his comrades who had fought side by side with him were cruelly hung on the city wall. At that moment, his heart seemed to be torn apart. He wanted to personally massacre the Soul Clan with blood and avenge his comrades.

However, he also understood that if both sides could not let go of this hatred for the time being, then in this cruel war, both sides would have to die! He knew this truth better than anyone else.

There was a gleam of wisdom in Ling Xiao's eyes. He knew very well that hatred was a double-edged sword. It could motivate people to move forward, but it could also plunge them into an endless abyss.

At this critical moment of life and death, they must put aside their personal grudges and unite as one in order to resist foreign enemies and protect the peace of this land and its people.

In fact, Ling Xiao also knew this very well. He clearly saw that although everyone understood the current situation, it was still difficult to completely let go of the grudges from the past.

There were complex emotions written on everyone's face: nostalgia for the past, hatred for the enemy, and confusion and anxiety about the future.

Ling Xiao's eyes swept across everyone's faces. He understood their feelings. After all, they were once mortal enemies, but now they were joining forces. This change was indeed hard to accept and it was still a bit awkward.

But he also knew that the current situation did not allow them to have any more hesitation or disagreement, and that only by unity could they overcome the current difficulties.

Zhang Ruochen was silent for a long time, his eyes moving back and forth between Ling Xiao and the others, as if he was looking for some answer.

Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "You are right, I will listen to you. Now is the time to unite and face the enemy. What's more, the Soul Clan suffered a greater loss this time. Thinking about this, I feel much better."

There was a hint of relief in his voice, as if he had let go of a heavy burden.

After hearing this, the crowd may still feel a little uneasy, but seeing that Zhang Ruochen had made the decision, they all nodded in agreement.

Although there were still traces of past grudges and dissatisfaction on their faces, at this moment, they all understood that only by temporarily putting these aside could they face the enemy before them together.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel relieved as he watched everyone gradually reach a consensus. He knew that although this step was difficult, it was one they had to take. Only by uniting together could they win in this life-and-death struggle.

"Alright, let's all go back and practice. The enemy won't give us too much time. Maybe in a few days, they will launch a large-scale attack, and then we will have to face a life-and-death battle again." There was an unquestionable determination in Ling Xiao's voice, but his smile revealed his firm belief in the future.

He knew that every minute and every second was crucial, and only by constantly improving his own strength could he be invincible in the upcoming battle. (End of this chapter)
