The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1361: Bet!

Bet! . . .

For most cultivators, dignity meant more than life. They apologized before they died, which was such a big humiliation!

Li Wuliang would kill much more than these people if the fight began. However, it would be less shocking to Li Wuliang than watching so many people suicide after apologizing!

They apologized, ended their lives, destroyed their souls, and wiped off their existence.

Their determination and courage shocked Li Wuliang!

"That is what we shall do to hopefully console Fierce Blade. We don't have a judgment on your intention to take revenge. What we just did is simply what we should do."

Shen Chongshan spoke to Li Wuliang in a deep voice.

Li Wuliang's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He said, "Let me ask you one thing. If Cha-Eun Xiao and I really died back then, or if we were not as powerful as we are now, or if we didn't come here for revenge, would you do the same?"

Shen Chongshan shook his head and said, "No!"

Li Wuliang coldly said, "Well, what does it mean to me then? Why should I buy it?"

Shen Chongshan answered, "I can't say whether it means anything to you or not. Even if you don't think it means anything to you… we still had to do this."

He then gave another order, "Now, whoever has participated in the fight against Xiao Monarch, stand out!"

This time, more people stood out—about five thousand.

Some had already died because they also joined the fight against Li Wuliang.

Among these people, there were two great elders! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelFɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

The two silver-hair old men were standing in front of the thousands of disciples. They looked peaceful.

Shen Chongshan's lips were shaking, and then he shouted, "What are you waiting for?"

Before he finished the words, tears had dropped down off his cheeks.

Over four thousand people bowed to Cha-Eun Xiao and the same time, "Apologies to what we have done to you!"

At the same time, they moved their hands!

One palm hit on the heads as well!

Cha-Eun Xiao's eyes were clear. Watching what was happening, he sighed and said, "Great Elder Shen, you are cruel."

Shen Chongshan bitterly smiled. "Am I really? You are right. If I am not cruel, the hundreds of thousands of people in Saint Starlight Sect will all be killed. What I did, I just want you to feel it. I am making a bet which I seem not to have any chance to win… I have to…"

The hatred, the grudge, and enmity were impossible to be forgotten!

Both sides knew that. Nobody could bring peace to this fight, only the death of either side!

However, Shen Chongshan decided to sacrifice his own people first! He would give up all the leaders in Saint Starlight Sect to save the sect.

To be honest, it was a much better way to deal with the situation than what Saint Sunlight Sect had done.

Cha-Eun Xiao coldly nodded and said, "Good. You are right. If you didn't do this, you would all get killed… However, don't you think you are pushing us?

"You are taking the extremeness to solve the problem. Nobody would blame you for being humble and sincere in apologizing to me. If we still kill you, people would say I am brutal! It is such a shame that you actually tried to push us from the higher ground of morality!"

Cha-Eun Xiao coldly said, "People will forget why we came. If you didn't do the vile things, why would we come here? You made the mistake! This is what you deserve! Now, look how you apologize and suicide for forgiveness… You want us to leave after these people die, don't you? That will save the rest of your people, save your sect!

"Your existence is my shame! How could we spare you? How could we spare you show the world we are a bunch of weak?"

Cha-Eun Xiao stared at Shen Chongshan and blandly said, "God's will is unchangeable; what you did leads you to the end! Now, even if all of you die in front of me, so what? Shen Chongshan, just let them die! Do it! I will just stand here and see how many people can you sacrifice!

"In the end, I will make you see how many people will be left in your beloved sect!"

In his eyes, there was only coldness and killing intent.

Shen Chongshan stood in the blood. He was shaking. "We… We thought so… But… But we refused the idea.

"Xiao Monarch and Fierce Blade never murdered innocent people. I know that you never just talk about morality… We don't think it is useful to push you morally. We gave up that thought before you came.

"We just have to take responsibility for what we did.

"Whatever you two want to do after my people died, just do it. The rest of us won't escape. We will fight till the last breath!

"If we are lucky enough to kill anyone of you, it will be a consolation to our people who died for what they didn't do.

"Now we have done what shall be done.

"Lord Xiao Monarch, no matter what you think, no matter how you think of us… We can't make it undone.

"I made a bet because I believe that you won't kill innocent people. I bet because I know you are kind and merciful!"

Shen Chongshan closed his eyes and said, "If I was wrong, Saint Starlight Sect is gone. If I was right, the sect would survive."

He was weeping, "Whatever you are going to do, we will accept it!

"We will take it!"

He was sobbing and waving his hand to his people, "Those who joined the fight against Wenren Chuchu, stand out! What are you waiting for! Just do what we should do now!"

Wenren Chuchu couldn't believe what she saw with her beautiful eyes. Over four hundred people stood ahead, killed themselves!

"Apologies for what we did!"

The place was in silence.

Countless Saint Starlight Sect people behind were watching the dead bodies on the floor. Over six thousand of their own people had died. Every one of them was an elite in the sect.

They were all dead, lying on the floor, with blood.
