That day I asked Deng Youde to check the injuries of the survivors, and then left some Maoshan disciples here to protect them, while I myself took Zhuge Wenwu and the Golden-haired Monkey back to Maoshan first.
As soon as we returned to Maoshan, before Mu Qing and I could meet and chat for a few more words, Yunyue came over worriedly.
"Head."
Seeing Yunyue coming over, Mu Qing, who was already pregnant, consciously retreated, leaving Yunyue and I to discuss matters here.
"What's wrong, Elder Yunyue?" I frowned.
Yunyue's face looked a little ugly, and he said: "Master, I sent my disciples down the mountain to check the situation everywhere. I found that the Xitian Sect captured a large number of old, young, women, and children this time, and the places where they started were all in remote areas...
…”
My heart sank and I said, "Do you know where they caught them?"
Yunyue said word by word: "Duantian Cliff!"
"Could it be that they knew we were going to attack Duantian Cliff, so they arrested old women and children and went over there to threaten us?" Yunyue analyzed.
I thought about it and then shook my head in denial.
"It shouldn't be used as a threat, but for other purposes."
According to Yunyue, this time the Xitian Sect captured a large number of young, old, women and children, and the places they set their sights were all in remote areas. Sometimes they even captured entire towns...
With so many people, what exactly does the Western Sect want to do?
I am puzzled, the intentions of the Western Heaven Sect are unknown, but now my plan can no longer be postponed!
The Demon Realm is ready to attack, only Maoshan takes the lead.
"Elder Yunyue, how many disciples are there in Maoshan now?" I asked.
Yunyue thought for a while and said: "After the recruitment meeting and the recent recruitment, we now have 2,300 disciples in Maoshan, which is more than double the number before. There are also more than a dozen Keqing elders.
"
I nodded and said, "You go and get ready. It's time for us to set off to Duantian Cliff."
"How many people does the leader plan to bring?"
I paused, my eyes focused and I said, "All the elders from Keqing, and two thousand Maoshan disciples!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Yunyue's expression changed!
"Master, this is almost 90% of the number of disciples in Maoshan. Master, think twice..."
"Elder, do you think we still have a chance to think about it now?" I smiled bitterly and said, "Before we take action, the Xitian Sect has already started, robbing old, young, women and children everywhere to Duantian Cliff, although I don't know what they are.
What to do, but what they are planning is definitely not a good thing... We have no time and need to fight quickly. If we can't completely defeat the Xitian Sect this time, then what's the use of having more disciples in Maoshan?"
I also know that it is risky to lead so many disciples, but this time I will definitely win in wiping out the Xitian Sect!
Taking away 2,000 of the 2,300 disciples, the huge Maoshan Mountain is almost like an empty mountain. Once the encirclement and suppression of the Xitian Sect fails, what Maoshan will get will be an unprecedented and huge disaster, and the counterattack of the Xitian Sect,
It will definitely be even crazier!
Therefore, I must do my best, not for anything else, but to save the world from innocent people who are harmed by the Western Sect, and to allow Maoshan to completely eliminate the threat of the Western Sect!
Elder Yunyue hesitated, but after a few minutes, he nodded and agreed to my suggestion.
"Well, just as the leader said, take two thousand Maoshan disciples and march to Duantian Cliff..."
Early the next morning, all Maoshan disciples were ready to go.
Elder Yunyue had just told the story about his preparations to send troops to Duantian Cliff. Everyone among the 2,300 disciples wanted to be one of the 2,000 disciples who went out to fight.
I stood in the hall and glanced around. The whole hall was already crowded. In addition, even outside the hall, there were also Maoshan disciples standing there.
More than a dozen guest elders were also standing below, staring directly at me.
Kong Yuan, Mengnu, Fatty Xia, Deng Youde, Liangpi and the Butcher and Drunkard all had a somewhat solemn expression on their faces.
They all know in their hearts that this time the troops attack Duantian Cliff, it will be more dangerous than the previous battle at Qishan.
There can be said to be thousands of evil monks from the Xitian Sect in Duantian Cliff, and among them there are countless masters, not to mention the three Ming Kings who have never met before but are terrifyingly powerful.
I paused and said seriously: "Disciples and elders, you all are gathered here today. You all should know why. I just want to say here that no matter who is going or who is not going, I want to say goodbye to you."
Thanks!"
"This thank you is for nothing else but to pay tribute to you. You are all disciples of Maoshan. You have spent decades in Maoshan and a few months at least. But today, I see you are so resolute.
, but I feel more uncomfortable than anyone else, because I know that after leaving, many of our companions will never be able to return to Maoshan, and will never be able to stand up again..."
I spoke slowly, trying to calm myself down, but when the words came out, I found that I couldn't control my emotions at all.
I have experienced many battles. I went from an ordinary cremator in the crematorium to the leader who can command the entire Maoshan today. The experience involved countless blood and crises... There are many capable people around me.
Like Uncle Quan, like Liangpi, like Muqing, it’s because of them that I can live till now.
However, these Maoshan disciples in front of me do not have Uncle Quan or Liangpi beside them. What they have is only passion and determination. When they are in deep crisis, they do not have Uncle Quan like me at the critical moment.
, with Mu Qing... Once they encounter danger, they will suffer more pain and suffer the rapid loss of life...
It is precisely because we have experienced danger that we know how precious life is!
But today, I see so many fresh lives, but I can't guarantee that they will all be alive on the day I return!
This is my greatest pain and my anger towards myself!
"After leaving, many of you will not be able to come back. Are you afraid?" I said.
The disciples below were quiet at first, and then, a surging response came in unison!
"With the master, you are not afraid of life and death; if you don't break the cliff, you would rather die than return!!"
I heard this sound coming like a tide in my ears, and my heart was shaken violently!
I stared at each of the Maoshan disciples below with blood-red eyes, and said loudly: "Disciples, I cannot guarantee that each of you will come back alive, but I swear that I, Zhou Lingfeng, will never give up on every Maoshan disciple. I would rather die.
Never live in vain!!”
