Chapter 988 The meaning of cultivating immortals
On the battlefield filled with flames and smoke, more than one person noticed the familiar figure of Lin Bingchun.
The reputation of the war god of Dagan was forged by a series of legendary battles in which he defeated the enemy with fewer troops and turned the tide.
Every Dagan soldier had listened to the stories of Lin Bingchun's heroic deeds told by his predecessors in the tent and by the campfire.
His name has long become a symbol of victory and glory, deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
However, at this moment, seeing him appear in the enemy camp, everyone felt like they were struck by thunder and their brains went blank.
The shock and doubt, like a surging tide, instantly drowned their reason.
This strong impact made the morale, which was already shaky due to the fierce battle, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
The army, which was already in chaos, was even more panicked at this moment, and the soldiers whispered to each other.
Their eyes were full of panic and fear, as if they were in a terrible nightmare.
Lu Wenhao recognized Lin Bingchun at a glance. His eyes were instantly wide open, and his eye sockets seemed to be about to burst.
The expression on his face changed from the initial shock to a kind of almost crazy disbelief.
His fingers trembled violently and uncontrollably, pointing directly at Lin Bingchun.
His voice rose eight degrees because of extreme shock and anger, and he screamed almost hysterically: "This... How is this possible?
How could he appear here, and even mix with the people of Wanzemen?
Didn't he disappear?"
Zhou Qingyuan's face also turned pale in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly, "This... This is absolutely impossible, how could he stand on the enemy's side?"
Lin Bingchun heard their shouts, his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through everyone's hearts.
He slowly glanced at his colleagues who had fought side by side, and each look seemed to carry a thousand pounds of power.
Those soldiers who were swept by his eyes couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Then, he took a deep breath, used his spiritual power, and his voice echoed on the battlefield like a huge bell.
That voice was extremely penetrating, covering all the sounds of fighting and shouting, and clearly reaching everyone's ears:
"The Dagan royal family, for their own selfish desires, attempted to annex Wanzemen and provoked this unprovoked war.
Do you know how many innocent people were displaced and their families were destroyed under this war?
How many happy families were shattered overnight?
How many cultivators, with their yearning for peace and pursuit of the great way, died and their souls were scattered!
Today, I stand here to stop this unjust war!
I will use my actions to defend justice and protect those innocent lives!"
These words were like a heavy bomb, which set off a storm in the Dagan army.
The soldiers looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and struggle.
The respect they had for Lin Bingchun in their hearts was accumulated over the years in battle after battle, in the moments of life and death, and it had long been deeply rooted.
Hearing his words, the faith in my heart began to waver, and I began to reflect on the meaning of this war.
They practiced Taoism to pursue a higher realm and protect the peace and tranquility of the world.
But now, why are they trapped in this endless killing?
"General Lin, have you been bewitched by the demon from Wanzemen?" A young and energetic general couldn't help shouting.
There was a hint of anger and unwillingness in his voice, and even more disappointment and heartache for the people he admired in the past.
Lin Bingchun sneered, his smile was full of disdain, and his eyes shot at the general like a knife: "Bewitched? I think you are blinded by the power and interests of the royal family!
Wanzemen is dedicated to protecting the peace of one side, living in harmony with the people, making the land prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, what's wrong with that?
But you have become a sharp blade in the hands of the royal family, trampling on other people's homes, turning the originally peaceful land into a purgatory on earth!
You cultivated immortals to pursue the great way and protect the people, but now?
You have become a tool for the royal family to fight for power and profit, and your hands are stained with the blood of innocent people!
Do you think this is right?"
These words are like sharp daggers, piercing straight into the hearts of the soldiers.
The eyes of many soldiers began to become empty, and they looked at the chaotic battlefield around them.
The bloody fight, the broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground, and the screams and cries of the wounded were in their ears.
They couldn't help asking themselves, is the meaning of their cultivation really just for this meaningless battle?
In order to satisfy the ambitions of the royal family, countless lives were destroyed?
At this moment, a white-haired veteran stood up. He had experienced the baptism of time and war, but his eyes were still firm.
He looked at Lin Bingchun and said in a slightly hoarse but powerful voice: "General Lin, we understand what you said.
But as soldiers of Dagan, we eat the salary of the monarch and are loyal to the monarch. Now we have rebelled. How should we deal with it?
Lin Bingchun looked at the veteran with soft eyes and said earnestly: "Loyalty to the monarch also depends on whether the monarch is wise.
The current Dagan royal family has provoked wars for selfish desires more than once. This is a foolish act and a betrayal of the people of the world.
What we should really be loyal to is the people on this land and the justice in our hearts!
At this moment, putting down the weapons in our hands and stopping this killing is the real loyalty!
Are you willing to continue to make more people suffer and break more families for the so-called name of loyalty to the emperor? "
The old soldier was silent, he lowered his head, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
The soldiers around him also quieted down, and the entire battlefield seemed to fall into a strange silence at this moment, with only a breeze blowing, carrying the smell of blood and gunpowder.
The strong men of the ten major immortal gates were also overwhelmed by this sudden change.
The power of the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Formation was like a surging tsunami, impacting their defense line wave after wave.
Every thunder fell with a devastating momentum, shaking the surrounding space slightly distorted.
On the other side, the fresh forces led by Qingli and Lin Bingchun were like sharp knives, piercing their flanks, shouting and killing, and the offensive was so fierce that it was breathless.
The dilemma of being attacked from both sides made them flustered for a while, and their former calmness was gone. and confidence disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Qingyuan looked at everything in front of him, anxious, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
He stared at the battlefield situation with his eyes, knowing that this was a critical moment of life and death.
If the situation cannot be stabilized as soon as possible, this war will end in their disastrous defeat.
By then, the status of the ten major immortal sects in the Dagan Dynasty will plummet, and the power and interests accumulated over the years will also be gone.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and mobilized the power of the sect protection token again.
The light on the token flickered, but it could not hide his inner anxiety.
He turned around suddenly and shouted to Lv Wenhao, who was also solemn beside him: "Master Lu, the situation is critical now, and it has reached a critical moment of life and death. We must join forces and use the forbidden technique to have a chance of turning the tables! "
When Lu Wenhao heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and a trace of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was blocked by the worry in his heart:
"Master Zhou, once the taboo technique is used, we will also suffer great damage.
Moreover... this taboo technique has always been regarded as ominous. Once used, the consequences will be disastrous. "
His eyes were full of worries, and his heart was painfully wandering between reason and despair.
