Chapter 341 You failed to summon a sage, but we will carry on your legacy!
"Brother Lu Chuan..."
The thought that Lu Chuan might be dead came to mind.
They perished outside the sacred site of the saint.
Shangguan Yue couldn't hold back her tears, which finally welled up and spilled over.
She remembered Lu Chuan in the desert.
The domineering presence of a single finger pointing at the three-star Martial Emperor Barbarian Beard.
I recalled Lu Chuan's decisive statement when he said he wanted to seek a glimmer of hope for hundreds of millions of compatriots in Southwest China.
I thought of such a brilliant and righteous man.
He died silently in this desolate desert.
Shangguan Yue was in immense pain.
Since ancient times, the men of the Western Regions have been many heroes.
They looked down on the martial artists in the inland areas, believing that they had long since lost their fighting spirit in their comfort.
but……
Why do some people still sacrifice themselves for righteousness?
If they can do this, then the warriors of the Western Regions can certainly do it too.
Southwest region.
Although Brother Lu Chuan couldn't invite a saint.
that……
We'll go.
Shangguan Yue quickly wiped away her tears.
He turned around and mounted his horse.
She couldn't wait any longer.
Before leaving Wuji City, her father had already told her about the Shangguan family's decision.
Now that the Shangguan family knows about the demon race's conspiracy.
We will absolutely not stand by and watch hundreds of millions of people in the southwest region die.
Warriors from the Western Regions are never lacking in courage.
Father must have already made preparations in Wuji City.
She wants to go back.
Since Brother Lu Chuan failed to invite a sage.
Since Brother Lu Chuan didn't finish this journey.
Then she would walk in his place.
She wanted to cross the mountains for 100,000 miles with her father and the others.
The humans were sent to aid the southwestern region.
Go and kill the demons.
"drive."
Shangguan Yue gave the reins a sharp tug and spurred the horse hard on its belly.
The Black Wind Steed let out a neigh and galloped wildly towards Wuji City, braving the swirling sandstorm.
……
Three days later.
Wuji City.
The Shangguan family residence.
Shangguan Yue rushed through the gate, looking travel-worn, and headed straight for the back hall.
When Shangguan Long saw that his daughter had returned alone and looked haggard, his heart skipped a beat.
"Moon, where is Young Master Lu?"
Shangguan Long hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Shangguan Yue's eyes reddened, and her voice became hoarse.
"Father."
"Brother Lu Chuan... he's probably already dead in the Taklamakan Desert."
"I waited for seven days, but I didn't even see the face of the saint."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Long's body trembled violently.
He then let out a heavy sigh, his face full of regret.
"Why."
"The heavens are jealous of talent."
"That young master Lu risked his life alone for the sake of hundreds of millions of people in the southwest, but in the end he still couldn't overcome that hurdle."
Buzhou Mountain.
After all, it is a sacred place, not a place that just anyone can enter.
In fact, Shangguan Long had this suspicion from the very beginning, but he didn't tell Lu Chuan because he saw that Lu Chuan was determined.
But when he learned of Lu Chuan's passing, he couldn't help but sigh with regret.
After sighing, seeing his daughter's state, he gently comforted her.
"alright."
Don't be sad.
"What he didn't finish, our Shangguan family will do for him."
"Um."
Shangguan Yue's eyes were red.
……
Half an hour later.
Inside the Shangguan family's martial arts hall.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
The spacious martial arts training hall was packed with people.
At the very front stood four powerful Martial Emperors with auras as deep as the abyss.
Behind them were more than twenty Martial Kings and forty or fifty Martial Spirits.
These people are all seasoned veterans.
He exuded a fierce and menacing aura from head to toe.
What's even more shocking is...
Among those four Martial Emperors, one of them was Huangfu Qi, the patriarch of the Huangfu family.
The Shangguan and Huangfu families have been fighting each other in Wuji City for over a century, becoming sworn enemies.
Now, however, they stand together for the same goal.
It's truly heartbreaking.
In no time, Shangguan Long strode up to the crowd.
Then his gaze swept across the entire room, and his voice boomed.
"Gentlemen."
"Just received the news."
"That brother from the southwest region who went to Buzhou Mountain to seek help has probably perished."
"He failed to summon a sage."
Upon hearing this, a low sigh immediately filled the martial arts hall.
Everyone had already heard about Lu Chuan's deeds.
A martial emperor, disregarding the dangers, traversed 100,000 miles of mountains just to find reinforcements in the Western Regions.
Ultimately, however, he perished on his way to seek help.
This courage and sense of responsibility inspired both admiration and regret from every Western Regions warrior present.
"but."
Shangguan Long suddenly raised his voice.
"He is dead, and hundreds of millions of our fellow human beings in the southwest region are still waiting for help."
"If the sage won't come, we will go."
"Next, only we can save the people in the entire southwest region."
Everyone nodded.
Although saddened, I am even more inspired.
The next moment, Shangguan Long turned to look at Huangfu Qi, the head of the Huangfu family.
"Brother Huangfu."
"Is the Huangfu family ready?"
Huangfu Qi snorted coldly and patted the long sword at his waist.
"Ready to fight at any time."
"only."
"Are we also going to cross mountains that stretch for 100,000 miles?"
These words were spoken.
The entire room fell silent instantly.
Ten thousand miles of mountains.
That was a place known as a forbidden zone for humans.
There are not only royal-level monsters inside, but also quite a few venerable-level monsters.
With just a few Martial Emperors leading the team, trying to cross that gap would be an extremely risky endeavor, with only a slim chance of survival.
Shangguan Long sighed.
"What can we do?"
"We can indeed use the federal security passage."
"But it takes too long."
"Even if we fly at full speed, it will take us more than half a year to get there."
"The Southwest region can't afford to wait."
Everyone fell silent again.
Everyone knows what this means.
They would have to traverse 100,000 miles of mountains, and before they even reached the southwest, they would all have died.
Sudden.
A warrior king with a face full of scars roared from the crowd.
"Let's do it."
"At worst, I'll just die in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"I've been wanting to fight those demon bastards for a long time."
"If you're afraid of dying, you shouldn't be a martial artist."
For an instant.
The atmosphere in the entire venue was completely ignited.
"right."
"Done."
"Kill the demon race."
"Those who are afraid of death should not be warriors."
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and their roars shook the heavens and the earth.
In fact, many martial artists from the Western Regions had long felt aggrieved.
The demon race is rampant.
They've wanted to make a move for a long time.
However, the Federation has always been suppressing them.
Now, those demons actually want to slaughter hundreds of millions of people in one place; it's simply outrageous.
Listen to the impassioned crowd in the martial arts hall.
Shangguan Yue clenched her fists, thinking of Lu Chuan once again.
She didn't have much contact with Lu Chuan.
But Lu Chuan's spirit of disregarding everything for the greater good has been deeply imprinted in her heart.
At that moment, she silently recited in her heart,
"Brother Lu Chuan."
Did you see that?
"Although you failed to invite a sage."
"But your trip wasn't entirely in vain."
"it is good."
With a clang, Shangguan Long suddenly drew his longsword and waved his hand.
"Then let's go."
"Everyone be careful, stick together and break through, nothing serious should happen."
"Set off."
boom.
In an instant, hundreds of powerful auras erupted simultaneously.
The group transformed into streaks of brilliant light, soaring into the sky and shooting towards the direction of the 100,000-mile-long mountain range.
Inside Wuji City.
on the street.
Many mid- to low-level martial artists looked up at the hundreds of streaks of light that pierced the sky.
Everyone's heart is incredibly complex.
The Shangguan family.
The Huangfu family.
These two families are sworn enemies.
They had clashed many times before, often resulting in bloodshed.
But now.
Faced with the great enemy of humanity.
They completely reconciled and faced death side by side.
"A true man."
An old martial artist looked at the sky, his eyes slightly red.
This is the martial artist from the Western Regions.
It's embarrassing.
That makes him even more admirable.
