Chapter 178 Commitment is unforgettable, life and death are bearish (1)
It is not terrible to accidentally fall into a deep pool. What is terrible is that after losing your footing and falling into the water, you have no ability or way to swim out, and you can only be trapped in the water and wait for death.
Nie Heng, like many others, has now fallen into the "deep pool" of Yaoxian Castle.
But compared to Nie Heng, who had the ability to "swim out", other warriors were the kind of people who were trapped in the water and could only wait to die.
If no one comes to save them, these people will surely die.
But……
Even in his previous life, even when Nie Heng was at his peak, he was by no means a pure good person in the true sense!
Purely kind people only think about compassion and mercy.
Such people tend to become more and more indecisive because of their kind thoughts. At many critical moments, their constant judgment will cost them their own lives.
In addition, Nie Heng could not find any reason to waste time and save these people, let alone the past life.
Many of the people below are warriors from the Hungarian Empire and the Weijin tribe. All of them are enemies of Nie Heng and the Great Xia Empire.
Since they were enemies, why did Nie Heng want to save them?
What's more, delay often leads to change, especially when escaping for life. Any delay in time is cruel and irresponsible to oneself - this is what Nie Heng thinks.
As a human being in two lifetimes, he knows that the most important thing is his own survival!
Thinking of all this, Nie Heng took a deep breath and continued to move forward: "Let's go!"
Shi Jian's back was turned to Nie Heng, and she followed him in a backwards manner. Her sword was always on guard against the people behind her.
The big python had no choice but to follow.
Bo Fang and others hesitated for a moment, but finally they all followed.
…
Down below, someone finally saw the images from a hundred feet high.
"Look, who are those people? They have actually reached such a high place..."
Someone exclaimed, and more people raised their heads and looked at the seventh palace on the top.
Then just for a moment, the palace suddenly erupted into a ripple-like brilliance. The brilliance was like an ever-expanding arc, sweeping brightly around it.
"Oh my god...they walked out of the seventh palace!"
"They must know how to get out, they must know how to get out of this damn place!"
"They... hey... are they the four major disciples of Lingyun Sect? One of them is unconscious?"
"Yes, they are all warriors from our Great Xia Empire. Among them are the young saint of Lingyun Sect, as well as the young sect leader and deputy sect leader of War Soul Sect...the other three..."
"It's Nie Heng!"
Shocked and in an uproar!
A large group of exclamations, cheers, screams and applause suddenly sounded like thunder below.
There are also many people who are silent, with gloomy or desperate expressions - they are all warriors from the Hungarian Empire, the Viking Tribe, and the Monster Tribe. Knowing the identities of those above them, they cannot feel any joy at all!
Compared with these enemies of the Great Xia Empire, some people below were already clasping their fists and bowing, and some even chose to kneel down on one knee and clasped their fists deeply.
"Young Sect Master Nie Heng, I am Zhang Jian from the Zhendong General Mansion of the Great Xia Empire. Please save me, Young Sect Master!"
"Senior Bo Fang, this junior is Zhao Shixiang, the sect leader of the Taiping Sect, a subordinate sect of the War Soul Sect. Please lead the way..."
"Sister Yunyu, I am Shaoyu, your cousin Shaoyu, sister, please help me..."
…
Also easily defeating the alchemist spirit in the Seventh Cave Heaven, Nie Heng led everyone out of the Seventh Cave Heaven and appeared on the overpass leading to the Eighth Cave Heaven.
But it was also here that they had been clearly seen by everyone below.
Faced with all this, Xue Yunyu was thoughtful and wanted to speak several times, but finally chose silence.
She knew there was a cousin of hers down there, but she didn't know why she asked Nie Heng to help save him!
The big python also wanted to talk, but didn't dare.
Because Nie Heng's face seemed to be as calm as water, but the solemn look in his eyes had become more and more obvious.
Bo Fang and the three awake Sanren were all waiting for Nie Heng to make a decision, so they would not speak first.
Nie Heng finally spoke, his words very deep: "Let's continue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already moved forward.
At the other end of the bridge is the archway into the eighth cave - Nie Heng finally chose to give up!
He gave up on the warriors below who had gathered into the thousands.
Whether it was warriors from the Hungarian Empire, the Viking Tribe or the Monster Tribe, or even warriors from other empires, including the Great Xia Empire's own warriors... they were all given up by Nie Heng.
"Why……"
Shi Jian rarely spoke, frowning, and quickly stopped in front of Nie Heng: "Nie Heng, why did you give up on them?"
This situation is rare to see!
Especially Shi Jian, who was the only one who followed Nie Heng along the way, was actually the first person to stand up and question Nie Heng - this is even more surprising.
But Nie Heng would not be surprised, let alone surprised, because he knew that one of Shi Jian's qualities has been deeply rooted in his bones - kindness!
He could only look at Shi Jian and say: "Shi Jian, I like your kindness very much! But I once said something to the best beauty around me, and this sentence also suits you!"
Beauty?
Or the best beauty?
Nie Heng already had a confidante beside him...
Shi Jian suddenly felt a little empty and a little sad in his heart.
But she still asked the right question. She didn't ask who the beauty was, but asked directly: "What did you say to her?"
"At that time, I held her wrist and told her - your hands are soft, and your heart can only be harder!"
It’s okay to be soft-hearted, but you can’t be too soft-hearted!
Shi Jian was silent again. She still didn't quite understand the truth behind this sentence, but she began to understand it.
Then following Nie Heng, the group quickly entered the eighth cave. At the same speed, they left the eighth cave and appeared on the bridge connecting the ninth cave.
Behind them, the eighth cave sky bloomed with a circle of bright brilliance like the cave sky below.
But perhaps it was also because of the speed of breaking through the level that Xue Yunyu hesitated at this time: "Young Sect Master, if you go back to help them, it shouldn't take a lot of time, right?"
It seems that she really wants to save the warrior below, or at least save her cousin.
Nie Heng was not as polite to her as he was to Shi Jian, and his voice was a little cold: "Xue Yunyu, do you have any brains?"
"I... Young Sect Leader..." Xue Yunyu felt a little aggrieved.
She didn't know why she wasn't treated similarly to Shi Jian, but was spoken to so harshly by Nie Heng.
But she soon understood Nie Heng's reasoning.
Because Nie Heng spoke without looking at the warrior below, he simply explained some things.
"The Hungarian Empire, the Yao Tribe, and the Viking Tribe are all enemies of the Great Xia Empire and many other empires. But now, why can everyone below get together? They are still in peace..."
"This means that they are now facing the same enemy, and this thing is so powerful that it is unimaginable. This forces them to temporarily give up their past grievances and work together to escape!"
"Xue Yunyu, have you ever thought about what kind of powerful enemy would force them to act like this?"
"Also... I can tell you one thing - none of the warriors below, no matter which side they are, do not have marrow-devouring poisonous blood in their bodies! Those warriors with marrow-devouring poisonous blood should all be dead!"
"What does this mean?"
Nie Heng said solemnly, looking towards the ninth cave sky higher up.
Xue Yunyu was shocked. After the shock, he quickly understood: "Is it not just that the space outside is about to collapse? Not only is the collapse speed getting faster and faster, but the Holy Lord or Holy Envoy has begun to harvest all the saints they have developed.
?”
Nodding, Nie Heng took a deep breath and said: "Tuoba didn't come, and those powerful priests didn't show up either. Even Shengyi didn't show up here, so I started to doubt something..."
Jian Mei frowned, and he continued: "Holy Lord, maybe he's here!"
Nie Heng had actually speculated a long time ago whether the Holy Lord would personally enter Yaoxian Castle, and the final result of his speculation was that it was very likely.
Because here, the Holy Lord can get the most blessings and offerings. Just like now, he may have already attacked powerful people including the priests of the Viking tribe!
It was also because of this period of observation that the Holy Master was almost certain that there were no other helpers hidden around Nie Heng, and neither Lord Shroud nor Lord Cunxue came in.
What's more important is that Nie Heng's so-called master and senior brother have never appeared.
Therefore, the possibility of the Holy Lord personally coming to Yaoxian Castle to deal with Nie Heng is extremely high!
This is the real reason why Nie Heng refused to save him - if the guy who flipped the table came, how could Nie Heng fight with him?
"Let's go..."
After Nie Heng finished speaking, he began to walk forward.
Shi Jian seemed to understand it completely. He no longer hesitated and continued to follow Nie Heng's footsteps.
Big Snake followed closely behind, Bo Fang led Zhan Lie, and three Sanren supported another Sanren who fainted, and continued to move forward behind Xue Yunyu.
But at this moment, a panicked voice suddenly came from below: "Nie Heng, wait..."
It's Mo Wen!
At this moment, she had just arrived here with hundreds of demon disciples covered in blood. She and Mota appeared in the sea of people below.
Hearing her voice, Nie Heng originally planned to ignore it and move forward, but Mo Wen spoke again, suddenly rose into the air, looked at Nie Heng with trembling eyes, and shouted a sentence through a voice transmission.
"My little friend... the descendants of my family have left their original home and are all hiding in the Xuanfeng Territory in the northwest corner of the Yunhai Continent, in the Blackwater Town of the Xuanfeng Territory! If little friend leaves here, if little friend can go there
Look, please help them restrain themselves and give them the dignity of returning to dust..."
…
This is a transmission, only Nie Heng can hear it!
This is a sentence that Mo Wen passed on to Nie Heng, but the person who actually said it could only be Kong Mingzi!
After hearing these words, the fierce light in Nie Heng's eyes suddenly became blazing, like a sword or a star.
He knew something must have happened to Kong Mingzi, and Mo Wen would help Kong Mingzi send a message, explaining that Kong Mingzi was most likely to fall into a dead end in order to save these warriors who had nothing to do with him.
He also knew that Kong Mingzi was under the Nine-Revolution Withering Curse. Once this old guy dies, the remaining descendants of the Kong family will die, all of them...
That's why Kong Mingzi sent his last words, asking Nie Heng to collect the bodies of his descendants in the future, or even if it was too late to collect the bodies, at least set up a tombstone for the Kong family?
Nie Heng lowered his head and clenched his fists!
"Damn..."
"Anyone can die, but you...how can you die?"
"You died, how should I explain to Kong Mei?"
"Kong Mingzi, Kong Mingzi, you fucking useless dog!"
Nie Heng really couldn't understand: Kong Mingzi knew clearly that he could not die. Once he died, all his descendants would be affected, but why did this old guy choose this way?
Even if he is not good at fighting, he at least has a big basket that can help him escape from Yaoxian Castle easily...
And isn’t it possible that the only one who can threaten Kong Mingzi is the Holy Master?
This further shows that the Holy Lord has indeed come, trapped Kong Mingzi, and is even about to kill Kong Mingzi!
If the Holy Lord kills and swallows Kong Mingzi's life essence, will he become more powerful and terrifying, and may he even embark on the road to alchemy?
When the time comes, how terrifying will the Holy Master, who is a fellow practitioner of martial arts, formations, and alchemy, and all possesses powerful attainments, become?
Holy Lord, you useless dog, you have such a beautiful idea...
Nie Heng began to hesitate a little, and began to become the kind of person he didn't want to be - the kind of person who was hesitant and indecisive.
Then, a blood-stained disciple of the Protector Sect arrived and saw Nie Heng's figure above him clearly. He then clasped his fists and said, "Sect Master Nie Heng, our sect master does not want to leave Senior Kong Mingzi alone, so they,
