Chapter 1054 Doomed

What people fear is not the breeze, but the breeze's experiences and changes.

Watching a highly respected martial arts master turn into a crazy and unruly old man at the end of his life was undoubtedly a huge shock to the people present, going straight to the depths of their hearts.

In fact, as people in the same industry, they have seen similar scenes many times.

The former "Head of the Qin Family" Qin Ming, "Master of the Jade Dragon Palace" Ren Wuya, "Master of Peach Blossom Island" Yuwen Xiu, "Leader of the Martial Arts World" Luo Tianjin... "Fourth Elder of the Kunlun Sect" Lv Tai, "First Disciple of Emei" Huichun, "Nine Lives No Return" Jian Zhong, "Subduing Tiger Knife" Mo Cen,... and even the "Third Master" Jiang Yiwei, "Fourth Master" Yan Bugui, "Fifth Master" Deng Changchuan, "Sixth Master" Huang Yulang of the Xianwang Mansion... up and down, big and small, too numerous to mention.

Which of these people was not famous and powerful in their lifetime? Which of them was not proud and successful in their lifetime? Which of them was not at the peak of their career and in the limelight?

But in the end, which one of them could escape unscathed? And which one of them could have a good ending?

Once you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. Glory and disaster often go hand in hand. No one can predict what their future will be like. Even Luo Tianjin and Qingfeng, who have become the supreme rulers of the martial arts world and the leaders of the martial arts world, still cannot control their own destiny.

In the world of martial arts, some people rise to the top, while others fall from grace. Some are on the rise, while others are on the decline. Everyone is risking their lives for their future, and everyone knows in their hearts that they are likely to be the next unlucky person.

But even so, they still continued to move forward without hesitation.

The root cause is not that they lack reverence, but that they are living in troubled times... and most of them have no way to retreat.

Although they have been praying silently in their hearts that they can seek benefits and avoid harm, and have great fortune and luck, many people in the underworld have gradually become numb and even forgotten the uncertainty of life and death. However, as long as there is a scene like today where "winners take all", the bloody and cruel facts will still awaken their long-buried "conscience". They can't help but put themselves in the shoes of others, and then fall into deep thought, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

Just like, at this moment, in this situation.

"father……"

"Master..."

"Head..."

Seeing Qingfeng completely hopeless and laughing wildly, the panicked Ling Xiaoxiao and the others all changed their expressions suddenly, and they all came forward, speaking in unison to comfort him.

"Dad, your health is important, don't get angry..."

"Master, at worst we will fight them to the death!"

"As long as the master gives the order, Wudang disciples will not hesitate to fight to the death!"

……

"That's it! That's it!"

Looking around at the indignant and restless Wudang people, Qingfeng's smile gradually faded.

He stretched out his shaking hands, grabbed Ling Xiaoxiao and Zheng Songren at the same time, and sighed meaningfully: "Xiaoxiao, Songren... After this disaster, you must remember that when you are in the martial arts world, you must not believe in the friendship of gentlemen, the blood oath, and even more so, don't believe in the bullshit loyalty! How about Shaolin? How about Kunlun? In the end, what is the difference between them and other snobs? Remember! From now on, you can't be open to anyone except your family..."

"father……"

"Being too trustful... this is what I ended up with." At this moment, Qingfeng, with disheveled hair and messy clothes, had lost all trace of the "Taoist spirit". He sometimes spoke sternly, sometimes laughed bitterly at himself, sometimes looked down on everyone, and sometimes burst into tears. His appearance was very strange and terrifying. "You must always remember that there is no justice in the martial arts world, and there is no such thing as stabbing each other in the back. There is only competition for fame and fortune, intrigue, hypocrisy, and kicking someone when he is down..."

"Master, since Shaolin doesn't keep its promise, why should we be kind to it?" Gu Ri, filled with shame and anger, suggested in a low voice, "Why don't we drag Shaolin into this..."

"Don't be angry." Qingfeng shook his head bitterly. "Xuanming did not change sides at the last minute, but remained neutral. He has given me enough face. His attitude is both a sign of weakness and a threat. If we drag Shaolin into this desperately, regardless of whether Xuanming admits it or not, I am sure he will never surrender obediently. Instead, he will be angry and even desperate."

"What if a desperate dog jumps over the wall? At worst, we will die together..."

"I don't care about my own life or death, but... I cannot ignore the future of Wudang." Qingfeng said helplessly, "Today, God has decided to kill me. The situation is set. Even the Golden Immortal cannot change it. I know that I am doomed. Instead of dragging everyone to death with me, I'd better find a way to minimize the losses... Therefore, my greatest wish now is not to save myself, but... to do my best to keep the Wudang lineage going."

"It's clearly Shaolin that broke its promise and betrayed us. Could it be that... Dad still wants to please those bald donkeys?"

"That's right." Qingfeng nodded slowly and reluctantly, "Because only Shaolin... can protect Wudang from being slaughtered by Liu Xunyi."

"Xuan Ming is as timid as a mouse. How dare he become an enemy of Liu Xunyi?" Zheng Songren muttered indignantly, "Shaolin didn't dare to take the lead today, and will not dare to do so in the future..."

"Although I am not completely sure, for now... I can only place my last hope on him. I hope... Xuanming will consider our friendship in the past and remember that I 'repay evil with kindness' today, and will protect the younger generation of Wudang in the future."

Qingfeng's random words didn't sound like a complaint or a sigh, but rather like... a last will.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel flustered, and hurriedly said: "Wudang is under the rule of my father, why does it need the protection of others..."

"Xiaoxiao, you should understand what Dad means. In the final analysis, Liu Xunyi and Xie Xuan's target is me. You... still have a chance of survival."

"But……"

"retreat!"

Before Ling Xiaoxiao could finish her words, Qingfeng suddenly changed his expression, lowered his hands, and instantly released a stream of Qi, which pushed back more than ten feet of Wudang disciples including Ling Xiaoxiao, Gu Ri, Gu Yue, etc.

"Liu Xunyi! All the hatreds are caused by me alone. It has nothing to do with others."

He ignored the horrified Wudang disciples and the onlookers who looked at each other in bewilderment. Facing the various groups of people pouring in from all directions, Qingfeng remained calm and fearless. His eyes, like a knife, pierced through the crowd and shot directly at Liu Xunyi, who was several feet away. He threatened with a loud voice: "Boy, whether you want to avenge your father or yourself... I will take care of it all! As long as you promise me that you will not embarrass Xiaoxiao and the Wudang disciples, my life... is yours! Otherwise, even if I die today, I will drag a few more people down with me."

"hiss!"

When Qingfeng said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"father……"

"Master..."

"No need to say more!"

Qingfeng knew very well that the general trend was irreversible and he could not reverse the situation. Rather than the whole army being wiped out, it would be better to sacrifice one person.

Therefore, he resolutely interrupted Ling Xiaoxiao and Zheng Songren's persuasion and said in an unquestionable tone: "Just follow my orders, I will handle the rest!"

Regardless of how cruel and mean Qingfeng was, he was much more "open-minded" than Luo Tianjin in the past.

In other words, although Qingfeng is vicious, he is willing to sacrifice himself for the safety of his family. He is far from being like Luo Tianjin, who is ruthless and selfish even when facing his own relatives.

The former can sacrifice himself to save his family, while the latter is willing to give up the world to save himself.

Looking back, Qingfeng had to become an enemy of Luo Tianjin out of love for his daughter.

As the saying goes, "No gold is pure, and no man is perfect." There are no absolutely good people in the world, nor are there absolutely bad people. I guess... that's probably the case.

"They don't understand the good intentions of the leader, but we do."

Facing the almost pleading eyes of Ling Xiaoxiao and Zheng Songren, who knew that it was hopeless to persuade him, Gu Ri pondered for a while, looked at Gu Yue again, and finally spoke hesitantly and with difficulty: "The headmaster does not want the Wudang lineage to be destroyed in the hands of our generation. Gu Yue and I... completely agree. Only by protecting the young disciples can Wudang have a chance to revive..."

"Not only the young disciples, but also you." Qingfeng interrupted firmly, "Young disciples cannot support such a large Wudang. We need some mature and prudent people to assist us wholeheartedly."

"Can……"

"I have made up my mind. If you still have respect for me as your leader, don't be stubborn..."

"What a big joke!"

Before the righteous Qingfeng could make his position clear, a scornful laugh suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd that had surrounded Qingfeng and his group in three layers inside and outside slowly moved away to a passage, and Xie Xuan, Liu Xunyi, Xunzhen, Teng Sanshi, Xiao Zhirou and others appeared in front of the indignant Wudang people one after another.

"Who lives and who dies is not decided by you." Xie Xuan stared at the terrifying Qingfeng, and did not hide his contempt for him. "Now that things have come to this, you are not naive enough to think that you are still the leader of the martial arts world who has the final say, right? You and Ling Xiaoxiao are both responsible for the death of Luo. "

"Xie Xuan, don't go too far..."

"Too much bullying? Why didn't you say it was too much bullying when you were trying to murder Alliance Leader Luo? Why didn't you say it was too much bullying when you were chasing Liu Xunyi?"

"you……"

Just as the furious Xie Xuan was settling all the new and old grudges with Qingfeng, Liu Xunyi, who was in deep thought, suddenly felt his arm sink. He subconsciously glanced to the side, only to see Xunzhen, who was in a serious mood, gently tugging at his sleeve.

"how……"

"Take it!"

Before Liu Xunyi could ask the reason, Xunzhen had already stuffed a sharp sword into his hand.

"This is……"

"Wildfires cannot be extinguished; spring breezes will bring new life. Liu Xunyi, whether it is for 'revenge' or 'establishing prestige', you must personally lead the charge today and lead the crowd to eradicate them and put an end to their future troubles!"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's heart was shocked, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by 'eradicating the roots'?"

"Kill Qingfeng first, then kill Ling Xiaoxiao. Anyone who opposes you, no matter what sect or name they belong to, must be killed today... without mercy, not a single one shall be spared!"
