Chapter 1315: Chapter 683: A Heart of Awe_2

If circumstances align, it is highly likely that the Tianqing Sect could be annihilated by its old enemies.

After all, throughout its long legacy, the Tianqing Sect has been ostentatious and domineering, engaging in countless acts of murder, plunder, and coercion, inevitably accumulating countless mortal enmities.

Now that the Tianqing Sect has suffered a devastating blow, with its overall strength reduced by more than half, it is the perfect opportunity for its enemies to seek revenge and settle their scores.

At this critical juncture, it wouldn’t be overly difficult for a few powerful enemies to join forces and destroy the Tianqing Sect.

At the very least, they could severely damage the sect once more, further weakening its strength, and pushing it from the ranks of top-tier Golden Elixir Forces down to ordinary ones.

Moreover, in the eyes of the surrounding powerful Golden Elixir Forces, the current Tianqing Sect is nothing short of an incredibly tempting piece of fat meat.

If a Golden Elixir Force of comparable strength to the Tianqing Sect at its peak were to target the sect now, and decided to raid and plunder, it would be incredibly difficult for the Tianqing Sect to survive relying solely on its own power.

Under these circumstances, the Tianqing Sect now teeters precariously on the edge of destruction.

Not only the Tianqing Sect, but also both the Xie Family and the Li Family are in equally dire straits.

After all, the Late Golden Core Cultivator Xie Changyang of the Xie Family is dead, and Li Wenhai of the Li Family has likewise perished.

In addition, the two families suffered losses amounting to more than half of their Golden Core Combat Strength on the Liang Family’s battlefield.

Currently, both the Xie and Li Families are facing unprecedented devastation in their overall strength.

It is foreseeable that both families will soon face the same predicament as the Tianqing Sect.

Meanwhile, the Liang Family has just concluded a fierce war, enduring four years of relentless conflict and several harrowing battles.

Now, nearly all cultivators within the Liang Family camp are utterly exhausted.

Given this, the Liang Family is also incapable of engaging in another war in the short term.

However, based on the Liang Family’s typical modus operandi, coupled with their remaining strength, it is merely a matter of time before they seek vengeance against the Four Great Forces.

At the very least, once the Liang Family Members recover, they will undoubtedly launch an expedition against the mountain gates of the Four Great Forces.

Should they have the chance to wipe them out, the Liang Family will not hesitate to do so.

This much, any discerning person can easily infer.

In fact, both Liang Shaorong and Liang Shaoguang share this very intent.

Especially upon seeing the unburied corpses of their Liang Family Members alongside the bleak sight of the battlefield outside the Liang Family Mountain Gate, their hearts are currently ablaze with fury.

The elation of having narrowly escaped disaster is momentarily eclipsed by their profound hatred.

Time passed unknowably as emotions simmered; eventually, Liang Shaoguang was the first to regain his composure.

Soon after, Liang Shaorong’s expression similarly softened, his demeanor returning to a semblance of normalcy.

Yet, a trace of anger still lingered in both of their gazes.

At that moment, Liang Shaorong scanned the battlefield and the gathered external forces before fixing his gaze on Lin Tianming and his companions.

Liang Shaorong stepped forward, clasping his hands in salute, first offering a sincere gesture of respect to Lin Tianming.

Then, with great deference and earnestness, he said, "Thanks to the blessings of the Liang Family’s ancestors and the sacrifices of our forebears, this great calamity has been overcome. I must profoundly thank Lin for his pivotal contributions, bloodshed, and efforts in our time of need."

"Now that the battle has concluded, on behalf of the Liang Family, with tens of thousands of lives saved, I express my deepest gratitude to Lin for his life-saving generosity."

Liang Shaorong bowed deeply toward Lin Tianming, and the Liang Family Members followed suit, clasping their fists and bending low in sincere reverence.

Their gratitude extended not only to the Golden Core Stage Clansmen before them, but also from the entire Liang Family across their territory. Regardless of whether they were at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refinement Stage, all present spectators bowed from afar, conveying their appreciation to Lin Tianming through the protective Mountain Protection Array.

Witnessing this, Lin Tianming did not exhibit any false modesty in declining Liang Shaorong’s salute.

In Lin Tianming’s view, were it not for his intervention, the Liang Family had an eighty percent likelihood of losing the battle.

Even if the Liang Family somehow survived without his aid, they would unquestionably suffer devastating losses, reducing their overall strength by more than half.

Thus, Lin Tianming could confidently claim that the Lin Family bestowed a life-renewing favor upon the Liang Family.

In the face of such immense benevolence, he felt justified in receiving the Liang Family’s gratitude from tens of thousands within their clan.

That said, Lin Tianming neither declined excessively nor overly flaunted himself.

Nodding slightly in acknowledgment of the gesture, he offered a polite salute in return, reciprocating the Liang Family’s gesture with his own intent to forge ties of friendship.

Following his lead, Qin Xi, Lin Tianhu, and the other Lin Family Members also returned the salute.

Once the gestures were exchanged, Lin Tianming and his fellow Lin Family members quietly stood aside.

At this moment, Liang Shaorong also began to emerge calmly from his reverence-filled demeanor.

He then continued clasping his hands, expressing his gratitude toward the other allies who had supported the Liang Family.

Although Liang Shaorong’s tone remained sincere and courteous, the disparity between his attitude toward Lin Tianming and the others was plainly evident.

Yet, neither the Yang Clan cultivators nor the few Loose Cultivators recruited by the Liang Family dared to voice any objections.

While a very small number might privately harbor some thoughts, they only kept such notions to themselves, not daring to speak them aloud.

These thoughts are natural; after all, setting aside the disparity in strength, Lin Tianming’s contributions during these consecutive battles alone warranted Liang Shaorong’s differentiated treatment.

What’s more, Lin Tianming’s unparalleled power demanded respect.

Even the strongest Fake Infant Level Cultivator, Song Xin, had been killed by Lin Tianming.

Not to mention his endless array of techniques and the chilling scenes replaying in everyone’s minds of him slaying Yang Yinghai and Song Xin, two formidable cultivators.

These vivid memories left the onlookers, whether they were Liang Family cultivators or the Yang Clan’s allies, with hearts trembling in awe whenever they cast their gaze upon Lin Tianming.

At the same time, their fear and reverence for Lin Tianming’s power surged to unprecedented heights.

Fortunately, though Lin Tianming wielded formidable strength and deployed lethal, enigmatic techniques, his actions were righteous and transparent. His demeanor was sincere and affable, proving him to be an upright individual.

More importantly, none of those present had any prior enmity with Lin Tianming or the Lin Family.

As a result, the gathered cultivators felt no need to harbor excessive fear toward Lin Tianming.

Time continued to pass.

After Liang Shaorong’s heartfelt appreciation toward the allies present was expressed, the atmosphere softened considerably.

Gradually, the raw indignation once gripping the Liang Family Members began to ebb with the passage of moments.

Liang Shaorong surveyed the gathered crowd before finally speaking: "Fellow cultivators, we have just endured an excruciating war, and many of you are currently in poor condition, some even bearing severe injuries."

"Following this, let us proceed to clear the battlefield promptly."

"Afterward, I encourage everyone to swiftly return to your cave mansions to recover and rest. Do not let your injuries cause a drop in your cultivation level or result in lingering complications."

On the surface, Liang Shaorong’s remarks focused on cleaning up the battlefield.

But his true intention was to ensure that, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the spoils of war obtained through collaborative efforts in defeating their enemies would be gathered fairly.

This approach prevented potential disputes or schemes during redistributions of the rewards later.

Naturally, mundane tasks such as cleaning the battlefield would be delegated to the lower-ranking Liang Family Members, sparing the powerful Golden Core Cultivators from such labor.

Though he subtly raised this point, the crowd naturally understood the underlying meaning and would not raise objections.

Lin Tianming nodded first, signaling his approval of Liang Shaorong’s arrangements.
