The hundreds of casual cultivators clearly outnumbered the dozens of disciples of the Southern Sect, but no one dared to refute at this moment.
Lang Tieying glanced at the crowd, casually reached out and pointed among hundreds of people, and quickly selected thirty people.
"You, you, you, and a few of you, each choose ten people to form a team and help carry the people who cannot be revived. Hurry!"
While talking, Lang Tieying took out several golden ribbons and tore them into thirty strips of cloth for the thirty selected people to tie on their arms.
Time was running out, and he had no time to explain or argue with these hundreds of people, so he could only violently restrain them together.
If someone really dared to speak just now, he would immediately kill them.
But perhaps the murderous intention in his brows was too awe-inspiring, and no one among the hundreds of people spoke up to refute, which made his idea of killing chickens and scaring monkeys come to nothing.
Perhaps because Yu Tingzhang's appearance was too honest, he was also selected as one of the thirty people.
'Alas! What is this!'
Yu Tingzhang gave a bitter smile, but without any delay, he selected nine people from the crowd closest to him and Luo Jiujiang stepped forward to help.
Seeing that the disciples of the Southern Sect were still helping ordinary people, a glimmer of hope arose in the hearts of many practitioners.
They didn't care about it anymore and formed groups to help.
There are only more than 400 ordinary people among more than 2,000 people, so they are easily carried by many practitioners.
"Look, there are insects approaching from other directions."
Practitioners with outstanding vision had been observing their surroundings, and suddenly they discovered that the practitioners who had fled in all directions were escaping back in droves.
When I looked into the distance, I saw swarms of insects approaching rapidly from all directions like a sea tide.
The green grassland is gradually swallowed up by black.
Yu Tingzhang made a rough estimate and found that insects in all directions were no more than five miles away from his location.
And even if the speed of insects is not as fast as that of a galloping horse, it is not much different.
If everyone stays where they are, the place will be submerged by the sea of insects in just a few minutes.
At this time, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ made a move that reassured everyone.
They asked many practitioners to gather in the middle, while the disciples of the Southern Sect surrounded them like a wall.
This inevitably gives many casual practitioners a false sense of security.
Yu Tingzhang, carrying an old man on his back, stood with the rest of his team, quietly observing the expressions of the Nanzong disciples.
But the serious faces with panic and sad expressions made his heart sink continuously.
‘It seems that the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’ has no way to deal with it!’
Just as he was looking around, trying to find a way out for himself, the four Nanzong Jindan masters who had left suddenly returned one after another from the air.
After a few people discussed in the air, a Jindan master said loudly:
"Everyone, there are strange insects attacking from all directions right now. There is no cover here and it is not conducive to defense.
However, there are towering stone pillars in the north that may be able to temporarily resist the strange insects, so you can follow our sect and rush to the north."
After saying a few simple words, the Jindan master no longer hesitated, but took the lead and rushed towards the north by stepping on the 'Yi Chi Pan'.
Following him were the other two Jindan Masters and some of the Nanzong disciples below.
Another four Jindan Daoists and about two hundred people went to the back of the Nanzong disciples' hall to guard against insects approaching from other directions and disrupting the queue.
Nearly a thousand people rushed toward the north in a chaotic manner, and from time to time, practitioners who had fled in various directions joined in.
Not long after, the original two thousand people gathered together again.
The countless stone pillars in the north are about five miles away from everyone.
The difference between casual cultivators and sects is fully revealed during this period of running.
The Nanzong disciples maintained a relatively complete group formation from beginning to end, although many of them showed nervousness on their faces.
The situation is different for casual cultivators. There is still a rough queue at the beginning.
But as insects approached rapidly from all directions and the sound of "rustling" became clearer and clearer, some people could not bear the huge pressure and began to speed up their pace.
In line with the idea that "a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist", many casual cultivators could not help but speed up their pace, leaving the Southern Sect disciples behind.
Yu Tingzhang was also one of them. His ten-man team was now in name only and had long since separated from each other. However, Luo Jiujiang followed closely beside him, carrying an old woman on his back.
While he was running wildly, he saw an ordinary person lying on the ground not far away.
Yu Tingzhang's heart moved, and he understood that this was because the casual cultivators who were carrying ordinary people in the front despised ordinary people as a burden and abandoned them.
He couldn't help but look back and saw the Nanzong disciples in white robes not far away, with their backs to everyone, retreating like a wall.
Their attention had been completely attracted by the rapidly approaching sea of insects, and they had no time to care about anything behind them.
There were many people who had the same behavior as Yu Tingzhang, and their eyes were erratic among each other.
Yu Tingzhang loosened his hands slightly, pretending to accidentally throw off the person carrying him.
Suddenly, he felt a burning gaze beside him staring at him. He turned around and saw Luo Jiujiang looking at him expectantly.
He said nothing, but Yu Tingzhang's hands involuntarily grasped the person on his back tightly.
Luo Jiujiang's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Yu Tingzhang sighed secretly.
'That's all! We can't let this little brother we just met look down upon.'
While he was thinking, he came to the abandoned ordinary person.
Feeling that Luo Jiujiang's steps beside him became hesitant and slow, Yu Tingzhang said in a deep voice:
"We can't save them."
Saying this, he turned a blind eye and quickly flashed forward.
The reason why I say ‘them’ is because he is well aware of the complexity of human nature.
As long as someone takes the lead, others will inevitably follow, and soon more ordinary people will be abandoned.
After rushing forward for more than ten meters, I realized that Luo Jiujiang had not followed.
'Alas! He killed me!'
I was sighing in my heart, but my feet turned and turned back.
Luo Jiujiang said to Luo Jiujiang, who was clumsily pulling the man forward slowly:
"Step aside!"
Luo Jiujiang straightened up silently. He could do this kind of thing, but he couldn't ask others to do the same.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So he had never asked Yu Tingzhang before.
Because he knows a truth.
If you want to do good things and help others, you have to suffer the consequences.
For example, if you see a beggar begging, you can give him your money, but you cannot ask other people to hand over their money.
Otherwise, it would be to kidnap others based on morality, which is not allowed by the education he received since childhood.
So if Yu Tingzhang didn't turn around to help, although he would be a little regretful, he wouldn't think that this person was untrustworthy.
No one has the obligation to revolve around themselves.
However, when Yu Tingzhang turned around and returned, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
With a straight face, Yu Tingzhang shook his hands, pulled out a rope, picked up the man and tied him in front of him.
He solemnly said to Luo Jiujiang:
"Brother Luo, it's okay to save people, but you have to do your best, understand?"
Luo Jiujiang looked at Yu Tingzhang, who had one person tied up in front of him and behind him, and said softly:
"Brother Yu, I understand, save one more person!"
Yu Tingzhang sighed and said:
"Save one more, you said so."
"Um!"
"Well, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
The practitioner moved so fast, and with only a short delay, the Nan Sect disciples behind him were about to catch up.
The two people who were originally in the center of the queue were now at the end.
The two of them used their feet again and moved forward quickly. Before they had gone two hundred meters, they saw the fallen figures of ordinary people everywhere on the ground.
Yu Tingzhang's guess came true.
Luo Jiujiang didn't hesitate at all. He swept his eyes on the ground and took a few steps to reach a child who was only a few years old.
Before he could speak, Yu Tingzhang had already thrown out a rope, rolled up the child and threw him into Luo Jiujiang's arms.
Luo Jiujiang imitated Yu Tingzhang and wrapped the child in front of him. He rushed ten meters to the left and came to a little girl.
Turning to look at Yu Tingzhang, he said first:
"Two children only weigh as much as one adult, so they can be considered one person, right, Brother Yu!"
Although the situation was critical, looking at Luo Jiujiang's stubborn expression, Yu Tingzhang still couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
"All right!"
After reluctantly responding, he threw out a rope again and tied the girl to Luo Jiujiang.
Luo Jiujiang had a naughty and cunning smile on his face.
With his short stature, he looked a bit bloated with three people on his back, but in Yu Tingzhang's eyes, this man looked taller than anyone else.
Looking at the ordinary people crawling on the ground, Yu Tingzhang quietly turned his head to look at Luo Jiujiang.
I'm afraid that he will continue to rescue me.
But although there was a look of intolerance in Luo Jiujiang's eyes, he didn't stop for a moment and left quickly and resolutely.
Yu Tingzhang breathed a sigh of relief.
But as he ran, Yu Tingzhang discovered something strange again.
He was getting closer and closer to the person running in front of him.
'It's weird, I'm carrying two people on my back, how can I run faster than others?'
Only when I got closer did I suddenly understand what was going on.
The stone pillar in the north was originally five miles away from everyone, but when everyone stood up and realized that the insect swarm in the north had actually crossed the stone pillar.
This means that if everyone wants to get close to the stone pillar, they must break through the insect swarm.
The casual cultivator who was running at the front was naturally unwilling to risk his life and slowed down intentionally or unintentionally. The others followed suit and Yu Tingzhang and the others caught up.
'Ha! Rogue cultivator! Rogue cultivator! If you are not a piece of loose sand, how can you be called a rogue cultivator!'
Although he was one of them, Yu Tingzhang couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.
He is very clear about the calculations of many casual cultivators. They want the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ to break a bloody path ahead!
Looking back, the fluttering white robes from behind were approaching quickly, and some people were carrying ordinary people who had been left behind by everyone on their backs.
The four golden elixir masters in the sky are far apart from each other, and each has a few ropes hanging downward.
There are more than a dozen people tied to each rope like zigs.
"Boom——! Boom——! Boom——!"
Suddenly there was a continuous roar from ahead.
Yu Tingzhang quickly turned his head and looked forward, only to see hundreds of white robes at the forefront of the team marching forward in a horizontal line.
Each 'Ruyi Shuttle' magical weapon rises above the heads of many white robes, and the thirty-six-eye shuttles rotate rapidly.
Thousands of golden threads flew forward rapidly like an unfolding fan.
Endless golden threads spread across the nearby insect swarms like lightning, and countless palm-sized insects were penetrated by the golden threads.
Countless insects roared and fell to the ground in patches.
At this moment, Yu Tingzhang felt like he was seeing fireworks blooming in the night sky.
At this moment, as the insect swarm rushed forward, everyone's steps were unavoidably slow, and the more than two hundred Southern Sect disciples behind them also quickly caught up.
Yu Tingzhang could see very clearly that the Nan Sect disciples had rushed to the front spontaneously without anyone directing them.
After quickly lining up in two rows, they moved forward step by step, following the footsteps of the fellow students in front.
On the other hand, some Nan Sect disciples were walking towards many casual cultivators.
Yu Tingzhang couldn't help but look around.
Swarms of insects from other directions were still approaching rapidly, but the nearest wave was still nearly three hundred feet away from everyone.
With the 'Ruyi Shuttle' on his head, Lang Tieying led several Southern Sect disciples to many casual cultivators and looked at Yu Tingzhang and Luo Jiujiang with some surprise.
After all, there are too few casual cultivators like these two who are carrying so many ordinary people on their backs.
Immediately afterwards, Lang Tieying casually gathered more than twenty people in a circle.
"You guys go to the east side to be on guard. The nymphs are approaching. Use all your strength to intercept them!"
Before he could finish speaking, a fair-faced casual cultivator spoke:
"Why..."
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
Before the casual cultivator finished speaking, he was shot into a sieve by dozens of talisman arrows shot by Lang Tieying with the 'Ruyi Shuttle' above his head.
"That's all!"
Looking at the white-faced cultivator who fell to the ground with blood all over his body, Yu Tingzhang's breath froze. He didn't expect that the Nan Sect disciple in front of him would strike so decisively and fiercely.
The other casual cultivators also felt their hearts beating secretly.
The twenty or so casual cultivators looked at each other and walked towards the east side in silence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Strength is stronger than people, so there is no need to offend the evil star in front of you.
A Nanzong disciple left closely behind more than 20 people.
Lang Tieying glanced at the crowd with sharp eyes, and then selected several waves of people to defend the surrounding areas.
"You guys go to the south to defend!"
"You guys go to the west to defend!"
"You, you, and the rest of you go monitor those who are defending.
If they run away, you have to fight against them.
However, I allow you the right to kill someone when you see them escaping. As long as the person who is killed is injured in the front of his body, I will stand up for you."
Yu Tingzhang secretly praised him.
'What a ruthless method! What a poisonous heart!'
This was not the end, Lang Tieying then sent a third wave after the second wave of casual cultivators.
Their tasks are the same as those of the second wave of casual cultivators, except that the objects of surveillance are changed to the second wave of casual cultivators.
Lang Tieying's strategy is very straightforward.
That is, the rear army monitors the front army. If the front army escapes, the rear army will attack. For its own safety, the rear army will definitely spare no effort to target the front army.
At the same time, there was a gap between the front and rear armies and they were unable to trust each other.
It has to be said that Lang Tieying understands the thoughts of casual cultivators very thoroughly.
Moreover, Lang Tieying is very good at grasping people's hearts. He only dispatches a maximum of twenty people at a time, because if too many are dispatched at once, it is easy to cause resistance.
But when he did this, just when everyone was hesitating whether to resist or not, more than 1,200 casual cultivators had been dismantled into pieces by him.
Under the triple surveillance, the targets that the casual cultivators needed to guard against changed from the disciples of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ to the many casual cultivators who were supposed to be companions.
At the same time, Yu Tingzhang also discovered that Lang Tieying did not assign people randomly. These three waves of casual cultivators were all empty-handed.
Obviously these people have already abandoned all the ordinary people they carried.
Undoubtedly, this is also the most selfish group of people. It is difficult for such people to trust others, which also means that they are not trusted by others.
In just two minutes, Yu Tingzhang was already admiring Lang Tieying.
Whether it was his decisive killing of the person who objected or his subsequent series of operations, Yu Tingzhang was eye-opening.
I secretly admired in my heart: 'As expected of a disciple of the sect, this method is truly amazing!'
Unintentionally, he turned around and saw Luo Jiujiang looking at Lang Tieying with shining eyes, his expression full of admiration and admiration.
‘???’
What's going on with that look?
For some reason, Yu Tingzhang suddenly felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but snort with his nose.
Luo Jiujiang seemed to be aware of it and looked away intentionally or unintentionally, but he always took a sneak peek from time to time.
