Chapter 244 If I don't go to hell, whoever loves to enter will enter!
Lin Tianheng came to the street, made a large purchase, replenished some daily necessities, got familiar with the local customs, and did not return to the City Lord's Mansion until evening.
As soon as he came back, he was taken to the meeting hall of the city lord's palace by Jiang Jinghu.
Sitting at the head of the meeting hall was an unshaven middle-aged man. He had long shawl hair, casually hanging around. He had sharp eyes, a hooked nose, a pair of slender pink eyes, a long face, and two
He has white temples and a beard.
Sitting in the deputy seat was a burly middle-aged man, wearing a suit of armor and a ponytail. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong nose, and thin lips. He looked like a ruthless man at first glance.
After the two of them entered, Jiang Jinghu led Lin Tianheng to the two empty seats next to the deputy seat, then stretched out his hand to the person sitting on the main seat, and said to Lin Tianheng: "Second brother, this is Xue Shengtian, the lord of Fengyong City.
Senior Xue!"
"Senior Xue!" Lin Tianheng bowed after hearing this.
The latter nodded, and then Jiang Jinghu pointed to the person sitting in the deputy seat and said: "This is the commander-in-chief of this war, Yin Luo, Senior Yin!"
"Senior Yin!" After hearing this, Lin Tianheng bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Yeah!" Yin Luo also nodded and responded.
Afterwards, Jiang Jinghu introduced Lin Tianheng one by one. Except for the city lord Xue Shengtian, the others present were people sent by Yuanwuzong from various places to support them. They were all outer disciples or elders of Yuanwuzong, and several of them were in the martial arts training ground.
It also appeared at that time, except for Jiang Jinghu and Lin Tianheng, there were nine people in total.
After the introduction, when the two of them took their seats, Xue Shengtian raised the wine glass on the table and said to everyone: "You are all the elites of the sect, and now you are the gospel of Fengyong City. I won't say more polite words. In advance,
I wish you all a triumphant return tomorrow, and Xue will greet you all again!"
After saying that, everyone raised the wine glasses on the table, and Xue Shengtian drank it all in one gulp. Lin Tianheng did the same, but when he was drinking, he complained in his heart that the wine glass was too small and he couldn't drink it well.
At this time, Yin Luo said sternly to Lin Tianheng: "Junior brother Jiang told me that you are going to the scene. Although you are talented and intelligent and have already broken through to the core formation at a young age, the battlefield is not as good as a fight. It is all signed."
It's like life and death, there's only a thin line between life and death, you have to think clearly!"
After hearing this, Lin Tianheng grinned and said: "Of course the juniors understand what the seniors said. The juniors believe that only by being infinitely close to death can we understand the true meaning of life!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
No one noticed Xue Shengtian. His lowered left hand was trembling slightly at this moment. When Lin Tianheng said these words, he seemed to realize something. The bottleneck that had been stagnant for many years was actually loosening at this moment.
Immediately, he stood up excitedly, looked at Lin Tianheng and asked: "My little friend, can you tell me what you mean by what you just said?"
Lin Tianheng was stunned for a moment. When Xue Shengtian asked him, he was a little confused. He thought to himself: "There is nothing wrong with this, that's what it means! How to explain it?"
But he looked at Xue Shengtian's eager look, so he said weakly: "Uh..., it means that only by constantly seeking death and testing on the edge of death can we understand the meaning and value of life's existence?"
He himself was not sure whether this explanation was correct, so he said it in a questioning tone.
To Lin Tianheng, this sentence seemed very casual, but to Xue Shengtian, it was worth every word. Every word touched his heartstrings, and the urge to break through surged forward.
"I understand, thank you little friend!" Xue Shengtian nodded excitedly and said.
Immediately, he left the banquet and left a message, "Please be patient, I have something urgent to deal with!"
Everyone present, except Yin Luo, including Lin Tianheng, looked at each other in confusion.
Yin Luo had already noticed Xue Shengtian's abnormality just now. He also had a deep understanding of what Lin Tianheng said, but he could not benefit from that sentence.
The reason why Xue Shengtian is like this is related to his cultivation and experience. He has broken through to the peak of Nascent Soul for a long time, and his qualifications do not stop there. Some of them are related to him as the city lord.
Wars often broke out in Fengyong City, and he was fearless in charging into battle in his early years. However, since he broke through to Nascent Soul and has a nearly unlimited lifespan, he has become timid and greedy.
From then on, I practiced steadily, accumulating my cultivation level bit by bit, until I broke through to the peak of Nascent Soul ten years ago. Over the years, my cultivation level has not changed at all, until today when I met Lin Tianheng and said those words,
I just happened to understand the artistic conception, and then I realized that the bottleneck was showing signs of loosening.
After Xue Shengtian left, Yin Luo hosted the banquet. Judging from Lin Tianheng's performance just now, even Xue Shengtian put down his posture and called him his little friend. Everyone present couldn't help but think highly of this young man.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed. Because he received a letter of challenge from the battlefield, saying that there would be a duel tomorrow, Xue Shengtian held a banquet to gather everyone. What he didn't expect was that there was a big unexpected gain.
Early the next morning, led by Commander Yin Luo, everyone gathered at the martial arts training ground. They looked at the ruined martial arts training ground. Everyone present yesterday had vivid memories of yesterday's scene.
After everyone arrived, Yin Luo called out an open-air flying boat and invited everyone to board the flying boat. There were sixteen people in total, including Zhu Jiuyin.
After a long flight by airship, everyone arrived at the battlefield. The battlefield was located in an open wilderness at the intersection of Fengyong City and Amber City. The area was flat, the ground was covered with lichen, and there were no trees.
The flying boat stopped next to our own camp, and many tents were set up in the camp for temporary living.
A middle-aged man guarding the camp was already greeting everyone. This man was the deputy commander Wei Chang. He seemed to be in his early forties, average-looking, with a thin face, fair skin, and looked very elegant and easy-going.
As the flying boat stopped, Yin Luo took everyone off the flying boat. Wei Chang sent someone to distribute the tents and followed Yin Luo into the commander's command camp.
Lin Tianheng, Jiang Jinghu, and Zhu Jiuyin were assigned to the center of the camp, and the three tents were adjacent to each other.
"Second brother, there will be a battle starting tomorrow. It will last for five days. There will be five battles in total. At that time, the results will be reported together and how many miles the losing side will retreat will be decided!" Jiang Jinghu said to Lin Tianheng while standing outside the tent.
"It's really troublesome, we can't finish the competition at once, there are so many!" Lin Tianheng complained.
Jiang Jinghu smiled and said: "Rules are rules. Besides, this is a battle, not a competition. Every participant sent out has been carefully considered. It is related to the life and death of the participants, so you still need to leave some time to think about it!"
"If you don't fight hard, you won't die. There is no need for participants to fight hard!" After hearing this, Lin Tianheng expressed his thoughts.
"It's okay to talk to brother about this, but don't say it to the commander-in-chief," Jiang Jinghu said while looking around cautiously.
Lin Tianheng disagreed, but asked doubtfully: "Brother, why do you think these people are willing to take risks on this battlefield?"
Jiang Jinghu was silent for a moment and said: "Well..., first of all, there is a generous reward. After all, a mission with rewards comes with risks, and going to the battlefield is like taking on a dangerous mission.
Secondly, dying on the battlefield is the most glorious way to die, and the family members of the deceased will be protected by Yuan Wuzong for generations, which is why everyone goes to the battlefield one after another!"
Lin Tianheng fell silent after hearing this. Thinking back to his life-and-death experiences, he came to his senses, shook his head, and grinned: "Anyway, I won't go to hell. Whoever loves me will, hahaha!" (To be completed!)
