A calm voice echoed in the air, like a devil's whisper.
And everything that happened after that proved that Wei Changtian was not threatening Su Xiu.
Just like when he ambush Daning's army in Niutoushan, he never showed mercy when faced with an enemy who had already formed a life-or-death feud.
The reason is also very simple.
If I don't kill you today, you will kill me later.
In this case, I naturally can't let you live until then...
In this way, Wei Zhaohai and the four of them exchanged glances with each other, then turned into four black shadows and headed straight to the southeast, northwest, and crashed into the herd of beasts with fierce murderous intent.
Soon, a loud "rumbling" sound was mixed with the wails of the monster beasts, rising into the sky amidst the crimson blood of the beasts and the pungent fishy smell.
How many monsters are there in Bailing Mountain?
Wei Changtian didn't know much about this issue, but he thought it must be tens of thousands.
If it were an army of tens of thousands of people, let alone being massacred, if they cooperated well, it would be possible to kill five of them.
But for these monsters who don't know how to fight, and basically rely on instinct to fight, they may be able to resist for a while, but in the end they will definitely flee in all directions.
So to put it bluntly, this is a massacre, the only difference is how much can be "slaughtered" in two hours.
Everything is definitely impossible.
After all, the monsters have legs, and many of them can fly. If you want to escape, you can eventually escape a lot.
However, with the strength of the four Wei Zhaohais, killing ten thousand people would probably not be a big problem.
Ten thousand demons......
You must know that the notorious Tengu army currently only has more than 10,000 monsters.
Such a large number, if gathered in one place, can even be called a "tide of beasts".
But now they are about to be slaughtered by just four people.
This is the crushing brought about by the absolute gap in strength.
This is naked bullying...
It is undeniable that "bullying" is not a complimentary term, and this kind of behavior has been condemned since ancient times.
But if you think about it carefully, this may just be a moral restraint established by the weak to protect themselves.
Under this kind of constraint, once a strong person uses its far superior power to cause harm to a weak person, it will most likely be despised and despised, forcing them to subtly restrain their behavior.
What's more, there are people outside, and the strong will always meet the stronger. Such restrictions are also protecting oneself to a certain extent.
Therefore, this kind of morality does help to form a stable society.
But after living in this kind of values for a long time, many people have gradually forgotten one thing——
That is moral restraint. In the final analysis, it is everyone's request for themselves.
The strong does not bully the weak. In fact, it is just the tolerance and compassion of the strong towards the weak.
And once for various reasons, when the "strong" gives up this restraint on themselves, it will be a disaster for the weak.
If it were more cruel...
The right to decide whether to stand or not to stand, whether to kill or not to kill, is always only in the hands of the strong and has nothing to do with the weak.
"Destroying you has nothing to do with you."
This is the meaning of this sentence in "Three Body Problems" in the previous life.
"..."
All the monster beasts by the small lake were dead, and the sounds of fighting coming from all directions gradually became distant.
As mentioned before, when faced with all this, Su Xiu, as a weakling, has no ability to change the fate of Bailing Mountain.
To put it bluntly, even if she reveals Yan Huanwen's hiding place now, Wei Changtian does not have the "responsibility and obligation" to order the massacre to be stopped.
What's more, she hasn't said a word until now.
"Demon King, I'm very curious about why you are so infatuated with Yan Huanwen."
Sitting on a wooden chair, Wei Changtian looked at Su Xiu who was lying limply on the ground, looking thoughtful.
"Since he can watch you being stripped naked and paraded in the street, you still defend him like this, even at the expense of the entire Bailing Mountain."
"Is it because he saved you later and helped you seize the title of Demon King?"
"In my opinion, you can at best even out each other. You don't owe him anything."
"Besides, no matter where he is hiding now, I don't believe he doesn't know what's happening outside."
"But he hasn't come out to save you until now. I really don't know what you fancy about him..."
"..."
Wei Changtian's voice echoed in the room, as casually as chatting.
He wanted to use this method to first pry Su Xiu's mouth open, and then prescribe the right medicine to break through her psychological defense, and then ask where Yan Huanwen was hiding.
However, the latter kept his eyes closed and refused to say a word.
Anyone who has engaged in interrogation work knows that this situation is the most troublesome.
It doesn't matter if you are tough-talking, and it doesn't matter if you lie, as long as you are afraid of not speaking.
As long as Su Xiu doesn't say anything, Wei Changtian won't be able to use any of his subsequent moves.
So after talking to himself for a while, he took a deep look at Su Xiu and stopped continuing...
Floating clouds arise at the end of the world, competing to cover up the sun and moonlight.
When the evil wind rises in Lingshan, it first destroys Lan Huifang.
Bailing Mountain, which used to be full of beautiful rocks, strange flowers and fairy grass, has become littered with corpses, and corpses of monsters can be seen everywhere.
From afternoon to dusk, smoke and dust billow from the fairy mountain under the setting sun, and the river of corpses meanders.
The crescent moon rose from the eastern sky as a blurry white shadow, quietly watching the massacre.
It watched the soft sunset glow fall on the broken limbs and remains on the ground, creating a different kind of scene in the dim sky.
Bloody, cruel, tragic, and absurd.
...
...
At nightfall, Wei Changtian and his party left.
But before leaving, he still left a message for Yan Huanwen on a piece of bluestone.
The content is very simple -
If you want to save her, then come to Liangzhou in person to talk.
In fact, such a message can only be said to be better than nothing.
After all, since Yan Huanwen has not shown up until now, there is a high probability that he will not go to Liangzhou for Su Xiu.
But something is better than nothing, so Wei Changtian still carved such a line of characters with a knife, and then took Su Xiu down the mountain.
Bailing Mountain is about five hundred miles away from Zishan Palace where the teleportation array is located, so they cannot return to Liangzhou immediately.
But no matter what, the Dajue master who arrived at Bailing Mountain three hours later, that is, when Chou was there, would definitely not be able to catch up with them.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are late..."
The night sky was filled with stars, and a group of people in black knelt down in front of Yan Huan's tattoo. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
This was the first group of people to arrive, and although Yan Huanwen already knew that Wei Changtian had left, he still waited until they went up the mountain before coming out of the secret room.
"I don't blame you, I just misjudged the situation."
The tall and thin figure stood in the darkness, with an unreal expression.
"How is the situation in Bailing Mountain?"
"Back to Your Majesty, one of my subordinates was walking up the mountain. There were monster corpses along the way. It is estimated that there are no less than tens of thousands of them."
The leader of the men in black immediately replied: "In addition, my subordinates failed to find the Demon King. He must have been taken away by thieves."
"Um."
Yan Huanwen nodded and took a deep breath.
"Send an order to the Imperial Army to mobilize 30,000 soldiers and horses and immediately rush to Zishan, five hundred miles north of here, overnight, and surround the entire mountain. No one is allowed to enter or exit."
"yes!"
The man in black responded and stopped talking, and Yan Huanwen also moved his gaze to the bluestone in front of him again.
Looking at the large characters that reflected the faint silver light in the moonlight, he clenched the palms hidden in his sleeves little by little, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Xiu'er, I can't help you..."
"Don't blame me for being ruthless, I...well, I just have my own difficulties."
"But one day I will cut Wei Changtian into pieces to avenge you and the monsters who died today..."
"If there is an afterlife, I only hope that I will not be reborn in the emperor's family and continue our unfinished relationship with you..."
"..."
The painful murmur echoed in the night sky and reached the ears of the people in black.
These people are all Yan Huanwen's confidants, and they all know about his past with Su Xiu.
In their view, even if the two of them had such a story, it was normal for Yan Huanwen not to save Su Xiu.
How noble is the emperor of a country, how can it be compared with the life of a mere fox demon?
Now that Your Majesty can say these words for the fox demon, it is enough to be affectionate and righteous...
Obviously, the same story and the same choice will have different feelings when viewed from different perspectives.
In the eyes of these men in black, Yan Huanwen was actually deeply affectionate.
Yan Huanwen felt that he was ashamed of Su Xiu.
And if Su Xiu was present at this time, he would probably be in a more desperate mood, and maybe he would ask -
"Why, why..."
"Yan, Yan Lang, why have you never even hesitated..."
"..."
“Canglanglanglang!!!”
Hearing this ghost-like voice, all the men in black were frightened. The next moment, they all drew their sabers and tightly protected Yan Huanwen, who was also extremely frightened.
Everyone stared in one direction with their eyes wide open, and their breathing became extremely rapid.
Then, they saw several figures slowly emerging from the darkness.
"Yan Huanwen, there is no need to wait until later."
"I'm here now, and I want to see if you cut me into pieces."
