Xu Wendong did not know Yue Qian Mountain’s thods.
But he knew that fire was the nesis of all races.
Those Gu Worms must be afraid of flas.
Upon hearing Xu Wendong’s words, Qin Feng and the others imdiately grabbed the distant torches, holding them in one hand and weapons in the other, charging towards Yue Qian Mountain.
From their fierce gazes, it seed they wanted to tear Yue Qian Mountain into pieces, hack him into a thousand slashes.
However.
Faced with the crowd wielding torches and coming in with a strong montum, Yue Qian Mountain showed a disdainful smile, tapping his cane once again.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Countless Gu Worms surged out, flying towards the front.
They looked like moths drawn to a fla, forging ahead one after another.
When they landed on the flas, they instantly turned to ash, and a pungent stench wafted through the air, spreading rapidly.
"Not good, it’s poisonous!" Xu Wendong’s face changed dramatically, as he slled the stench, feeling a bout of dizziness in his head.
Thankfully, he had previously taken the Wandox Poison, which gave him an immunity to toxins.
Even if he were poisoned, it was montary, and he quickly shook off the intense dizziness.
Xu Wendong might be immune to toxins.
But aside from him.
Everyone else’s figures seed frozen, standing dazedly in place, like human-shaped statues.
Qin Feng, Mo Yuan, and the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangers all panicked.
Now they had all lost their combat capabilities.
Although Xu Wendong was very powerful, his legs were severely injured. Could he fight against Yue Qian Mountain, a person with unpredictable thods?
For a mont, a strong sense of panic and unease surged in everyone’s hearts. They all wanted to break free from this situation, but their bodies were beyond their control.
Despair spread uncontrollably in their hearts!
"I, Yue Qian Mountain, am the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Gu Sect."
"You wouldn’t think that the Gu Worms I cultivated are the sa as others, would you?"
Yue Qian Mountain emitted a childish voice, accompanied by his maniacal smile, giving an unsettling chill.
He ignored the figures in front of him, stepping slowly toward Xu Wendong.
His steps were slow.
But Xu Wendong felt a strong oppression.
He lit a cigarette, trying to calm his emotions, "Your thods are indeed endless, even Elder Qin underestimated your abilities!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Yue Qian Mountain showed interest, "Tell , how did he underestimate ?"
Xu Wendong: "Elder Qin once told that the Gu Worms you cultivated could sense your presence, and if we were a bit closer, they would beco active."
Yue Qian Mountain clicked his tongue, "Unfortunately, the Gu Worm inside you hasn’t beco active."
"Yes!" Xu Wendong couldn’t help but sigh, "Even though you’re right in front of , it’s still unresponsive."
Yue Qian Mountain grinned wide, "If the Gu Worms I cultivated followed common logic, how could I be worthy of the title of the genius of the Gu Sect?"
"Your thods are indeed incredible, but you shouldn’t have strayed onto the wrong path!" Xu Wendong greatly admired Yue Qian Mountain’s prowess in the Gu Art.
Yet, becoming a lackey of the invaders, turning the blade against his own compatriots, such actions were unforgivable.
Yue Qian Mountain sighed softly, "I rely made a wrong decision; does that negate my entire life?"
Xu Wendong looked angrily at him, "Just made a wrong decision? It’s absurd that you can downplay it like that."
"Do you know how many people died in the Outer Eight Sects because of your wrong decision?"
"No!"
"You don’t care about their lives or deaths."
"You care only for the wealth and prosperity gained through devious ans!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Yue Qian Mountain beca embarrassed and angry, his childish voice turning old, sounding hoarse and piercing, "Do you know what happened back then?"
"Have you seen scenes of corpses strewn all around?"
"Have you witnessed people eating people?"
"You haven’t seen that chaotic era!"
"What I did was to prevent the Outer Eight Sects from experiencing such inhuman tragedy!"
Xu Wendong suppressed his heart’s anger, gritted his teeth, and asked, "And then?"
Yue Qian Mountain snorted heavily, "They didn’t appreciate it, who else can be blad?"
Xu Wendong’s anger instantly erupted, "It was clearly you who stabbed a bayonet into their chest, ending their lives."
"You are the executioner who murdered them, and now you say they didn’t appreciate it?"
"Yue Qian Mountain, you’ve lived so long, yet you can’t distinguish right from wrong?"
He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, "Perhaps you were concerned for the Outer Eight Sects."
"But did you ever ask the disciples of the Outer Eight Sects if they feared facing the bayonets of the invaders?"
Perhaps due to the severe injury on his feet or perhaps out of anger, his body started trembling uncontrollably.
"No!"
"You never asked what those people thought."
"Because you, yourself, are soone who fears death."
"In your eyes, everyone else was naturally also afraid of death!"
"But the truth is, the only cowardly person was you, Yue Qian Mountain!"
"You underestimated the courage of the Outer Eight Sects’ disciples!"
"You underestimated this nation’s unyielding will in the face of hardship and war. Even amidst the flas of war, with constant slaughter, there were still those who charged forward, braving dangers to repel foreign invaders."
"Because they believed that as long as everyone united, no one could ever dominate the Descendants of Yan and Huang, not even with guns and cannons to destroy our nation’s indomitable spirit."
Xu Wendong’s words stirred countless hearts with passion.
Recalling that dark period in history.
Wasn’t it the countless ancestors who fought fearlessly, using their own bodies to halt the invading steps, driving them out of the nation, forcing them to surrender?
Although that period in history was dark, it deserved eternal rembrance.
Only by rembering that dark history can future generations strive with strength.
Can one be worthy of the sacrifices of those ancestors.
A hint of confusion flashed in Yue Qian Mountain’s eyes, "Yes, my mistake was underestimating those people’s resolve. I still don’t understand why they, who clearly could survive, chose the foolish path of fighting with their lives?"
This question had lingered in his mind for a long ti, even now he didn’t understand.
Xu Wendong replied angrily, "No one willingly gives up their life unless it’s the last resort."
"They didn’t act out of ignorance."
"They wanted to trade their lives for a future where their descendants could hold their heads high, live with dignity."
"They traded their lives for a prosperous and peaceful era for future generations."
"How can you regard such actions as foolish?"
"Indeed, you are unpardonable!"
"Today, I will clean house on behalf of the Outer Eight Sects and kill you, the traitor!"
"Your death will bring the greatest relief!"
With those words, his eyes blazed with astonishing killing intent, taking a step forward, he reached for the Thousand Slaughter at his waist and charged towards Yue Qian Mountain with the might of thunder.
He had never wanted to kill soone as much as he did now.
Only by killing Yue Qian Mountain could he quell the murderous desire in his heart!
