The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1341 - Chapter 1341 Chapter 1337 Going to the Battlefield_1

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1337: Going to the Battlefield_1 Chapter 1341: Chapter 1337: Going to the Battlefield_1 Many people had begun to regret their hesitation, realizing that they should have simply agreed at the beginning. After all, it was normal to pay a price for the position of Sect Leader Candidate.

Even if they didn’t succeed in becoming a Sect Leader, it was still very possible for them to become a Peak Master.

Who wouldn’t want to become a Peak Master and stand above others? It was an Emperor-Level position, and they were the key talents nurtured by the Northern Territory Sect. But now, they had missed their chance.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Yang Chen didn’t particularly care about the position of Deputy Team Leader; he simply wanted to contribute his efforts to the Northern Territory Sect.

However, many people looked at him with envy, and even some jealousy, such as Yuan Fei, the father of Yuan Cheng.

“Alright, who else wants to join?” He Tan asked again.

This time, the response was much stronger than before. Many people volunteered, hoping to receive rewards associated with the Sect Leader Candidate position, or even just some compensation.

But opportunities often slipped away quickly and were hard to grasp.

When more than a dozen people volunteered again, He Tan Emperor was no longer so easygoing. He said directly, “Alright, you all come forward.”

As these people stepped forward, He Tan Emperor didn’t even look at them before asking, “Anyone else?”

This made the group of Heavenly Martial Realm martial artists feel deflated. They had thought they might receive some rewards, but He Tan Emperor didn’t mention any rewards at all.

This caused many people who had been thinking about stepping forward to give up the idea.

He Tan, having lived for so many years, knew what these people were thinking. With a cold snort, he said, “Hmph, a team must have at least five hundred people. Since you don’t want to step forward, I’ll pick them myself. Yunhu Peak, Yuan Fei, He Kui, Zhang Tan, Ning He, Luo Pingchen…”

In this way, He Tan pointed out one person at a time. For Yunhu Peak, he called their names directly, while for the other peaks, he picked them based on their cultivation levels. In no time, he had pointed out hundreds of people.

Many of these people were somewhat embarrassed. When it came to war, very few actually volunteered to participate. The efficiency of these Heavenly Martial Realm elders was even lower than that of the young Earth Martial Realm disciples who had gone to support the Western 42 Regions. Those Earth Martial Realm disciples still had a strong sense of enthusiasm. Many of the older Heavenly Martial Realm artists had long lost their vigor.

It was incredibly dangerous for a person to lose his or her vigor. Even when a war was approaching, these people only thought about their own interests and forgot about others.

He Tan knew this all too well, which was why he was so disheartened.

He had originally thought that there would be no such people in the Northern Territory Sect, but it turned out that this was not the case. In fact, there were many.

Even the Yunhu Peak, generally considered the strongest, had the most of such people. In comparison, the traditionally weaker Changlin Peak was doing somewhat better.

“Hmph, all of you, stand up straight!” He Tan, with an imposing manner, pointed out hundreds of people and released his aura, suppressing any rebellious thoughts they might have had.

With a cold expression, He Tan swept his gaze over them and asked, “I know that some of you are unhappy and unwilling to take such risks. But let me make this clear: there are no cowards among the disciples of the Northern Territory Sect. If you are unwilling to fight for the sect, then leave immediately! According to the rules of the sect, anyone who is expelled must have their arms severed and their foundation destroyed.”

When the conversation ended, many of the previously unenthusiastic Elder Disciples trembled.

“If demonic beasts and humans are to go to war, every single person has a responsibility to act. No one can be spared. That’s enough, we will gather here again this evening. Those who have signed up and those who were selected by me must not be late. For now, you can all go back to prepare.” He Tan said sternly.

After saying a few more words, He Tan dismissed the disciples, who scattered one after another.

Especially the hundreds of selected people, who dared not delay and rushed back to prepare. Yang Chen was no exception.

When he returned, both Qin Xueru and Yang Caidie were at their residence.

It seemed that both of them were aware of the demonic beast crisis. Qin Xueru was worried and dared not speak, while Yang Caidie didn’t care as much and asked Yang Chen directly, “Yang Chen, are you planning to go to the battlefield? I heard that demonic beasts are about to invade.”

Yang Chen was taken aback, “Older Sister, how did you know about this?”

Yang Caidie frowned, “Everyone at Taqing Peak knows about this, and it’s already caused quite a stir. I got the news and came back immediately. Bao’er, you’re not going to the battlefield, are you? I’ve heard that those demonic beasts are incredibly ferocious. You’re still young, and there’s no need for you to be on the front lines.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly at her words, guessing that Yang Caidie had probably heard some rumors. After all, a story that passed from one person to another often became distorted.

However, upon thinking about it, Yang Caidie wasn’t entirely wrong.

The situation had become extremely serious. Yang Caidie knew that even the Demigod Ancestor had been seriously injured, and Emperor-Level Lin Guang had fallen right there. What could be worse than that?

To think, Bai Yudi was one of the highest-level pillars of humanity, and even he had been severely injured. This just went to show how serious the situation was.

However, the more critical the situation, the more humans must not back down.

There might not be much chance of winning if they didn’t retreat, but if they did retreat, they would definitely lose.

“Older Sister, the situation is a little different from what you think, but don’t worry, there’s not much danger,” Yang Chen reassured her with a smile.

Yang Caidie looked at Yang Chen skeptically, “You better not lie to me, or else I’ll go with you.”

“That’s out of the question!” Yang Chen was startled. “Older Sister, just stay in the Northern Territory Sect and don’t go anywhere.”

“You say there’s no danger, yet you won’t let me go with you?” Yang Caidie looked at Yang Chen with a tender expression. “Bao’er, I don’t care. If it’s dangerous, you have to take me with you.”

Yang Chen knew that Yang Caidie was not joking with him, but how could he possibly bring her along? He said solemnly, “Older Sister, with your current strength, you would only be a burden if you come with me!”

He knew that he had to make things clear.

“But…”

“I promise I’ll come back safely.” Yang Chen laughed heartily, “There may be people in this world who can kill me, Yang Chen, but these demonic beasts aren’t among them!”

With that, Yang Chen suddenly turned around.

He knew that he had to leave quickly, otherwise, his heart would also be affected by this exchange.
