Chapter 1423: Swearing to Die Without Surrender!

"But in the end, we lost."

"And lost miserably!"

"Fan Pingyuan, Jiang Yizhan, Lv Chunyang, those respected seniors fell one after another. Countless Grandmasters and Innates shed blood on the battlefield!"

"It was at that time, when the blood flowed freely on the ground, that I understood a truth."

Hua Muyang’s voice carried a slight choke, heavy with sadness, "That is, we couldn’t beat them, couldn’t beat these aliens!"

"What else could we do in such a situation?"

"Dying in battle was too easy; just rush forward, fight those powerful beings, and then get killed."

"That process wouldn’t even entail much pain."

"Even in death, one might gain glory!"

"But I cannot do that," Hua Muyang said solemnly, "I am, after all, the Master of Holy Land, with countless disciples and elders behind me. Their lives are in my hands!"

"So many have already died, we cannot continue to let more die. If everyone dies, what significance remains? Therefore, we must compromise, we have to compromise! Only with people alive is there hope!"

"You might call me a surrenderist, but I don’t care. History will prove that my decision was correct."

Hua Muyang’s deep and compelling voice resonated across the square, and everyone’s expressions became complex.

Even those who had previously opposed Hua Muyang now showed hesitation on their faces, thinking perhaps he had a point.

At this moment, Yao Qiantu surveyed the crowd and calmly said, "Senior Lv and his kind have already spilled too much blood, so we can’t let others continue to bleed. Temporarily compromising is better than everyone dying; as long as there are people, there is hope."

At this, there was no dissenting voice in the square. Clearly, through a series of measures, the Poisonous Hand Shura destroyed everyone’s confidence, Ruan Qingfeng guided them, Hua Muyang incited them, Yao Qiantu concluded, and the minds of the heroes in the square had been cleverly unified and directed.

Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes slightly.

What a tactic!

It seems Hua Muyang and Yao Qiantu, as Masters of Holy Land, are not simple characters; their ability to sway people has reached the pinnacle.

At this point, if it were others, they might not be able to reverse the situation, as everyone had formed a unified belief that surrender was the best choice.

Trying to change their minds at this point would be extremely difficult.

"Besides..." Ruan Qingfeng added at this time with a smile, "Everyone need not be overly afraid. Though they say the Blood Clan and Werewolves are cruel and greedy, that’s not entirely true. They are also intelligent beings like us. As long as we temporarily yield to their wishes, they won’t do excessively harmful things. Master Hua and the others can absolutely guarantee this."

This statement completely dispelled everyone’s concerns.

"With the words spoken to such an extent, although there is immense reluctance in my heart, there is nothing else to do. We shall follow your orders from Holy Land," sighed an elderly man in the crowd.

Everyone turned to this person in surprise.

He was actually a highly respected Martial Arts elder from the Green Cloud Taoist Sect, whose cultivation was at the Grandmaster Realm and reportedly close to reaching the level of a Martial Saint, with considerable prestige among the crowd.

Seeing this person agree, voices of agreement and willingness to surrender sounded one after another in the square.

On the stands, several Sect Masters of Holy Land exchanged glances, showing satisfaction in their eyes. After careful planning, they finally achieved their goal.

Upon success, they could gain huge benefits from this surrender operation, along with the things promised by the Blood Clan and Werewolves.

Moreover, since this decision was made at the sect meeting, it was considered a collective decision of all.

And the people here almost represented the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World.

This meant, even if they surrendered, they wouldn’t suffer a loss in reputation.

In fact, as it was a decision made by everyone together, those people, to ease their conscience, would self-excuse and provide themselves reasons, comforting themselves, thereby reinforcing the idea of "surrender" and more firmly supporting them.

Xiao Zheng watched coldly from the side.

Long Qie was a bit anxious and conveyed to Xiao Zheng, "Mr. Xiao, the situation is very bad now, we must act. If we wait longer and everyone’s will becomes unified, we might be unable to do anything."

Titan, usually calm, also showed a trace of concern on his face, conveying, "Long Qie is right, Hua Muyang and those people are too despicable, using means to directly guide everyone!"

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "No need to rush."

"I still want to watch."

"Watch to see if there are one or two among them who are still passionate."

Xiao Zheng’s tone turned cold, "If, among Huaxia, there are only cowards who change their minds based on a few words and thus surrender, then these people don’t need to be saved!"

Long Qie, Titan, Evil Eyes, and the disguised Dugu Baitian were all shocked realizing Xiao Zheng’s intention.

But they quickly nodded.

If these people truly are like mud that can’t support a wall, what good is saving them?

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd, shouting, "I will never surrender!"

This sudden voice shocked everyone and made them look over.

And upon seeing, they were even more shocked!

The speaker was a young man, his face pale, seemingly injured, wearing the attire of a Qingcheng Sect disciple.

In the crowd, there were knowledgeable ones who recognized him.

That was, the son of Ruan Qingfeng, Ruan Yunqiu!

The son of Qingcheng Sect’s Sect Master, vowing never to surrender?

Everyone was astounded.

What is going on? A father-son conflict? In this sect meeting, Ruan Qingfeng was one of the proponents of the surrender strategy.

Xiao Zheng immediately displayed a smile, a smile that carried a bit of gratification. It seemed Huaxia men still had a bit of spine.

And this person turned out to be Ruan Yunqiu, which even Xiao Zheng found somewhat surprising.
