A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1137: Running away is Han Lin’s instinct
In this world, it seems that everything has a beginning and an end, life span, friendship, family, love, nothing is endless and eternal.

No matter how joyful a party is, it must eventually come to an end.

"Goodbye, Lord..."

"My Lord, I hope that one day I can see you again..."

Many True Lords were extremely emotional today. They were not like the scheming old cultivators. Their eyes were slightly red and they bowed deeply to say goodbye.

Perhaps, many people know that this meeting today may be the last one in this life.

From then on, we never met again.

"Jianzi, one day, I will stand in front of you and draw my sword against you..."

At this time when the atmosphere was somewhat sad, a voice was not so pleasant, it came from Lieyang Sword Master of the Great Sun Sword Sect.

His eyes revealed a fighting spirit, murderous intent, and self-destructive madness. He even tried to draw his sword at this moment. He didn't care much about things like heavenly tribulation and lifespan.

However, no matter how tightly Lord Lieyang gripped the hilt, he was unable to pull out the sword.

This was not something Jiang Ding stopped.

No matter how tolerant he is, he will not show any mercy to anyone who wants to challenge him to a sword fight or take his life. He must be tolerant and generous and grant death to the other person.

Instead, True Lord Lieyang was unable to overcome the fear in his heart.

Every particle of his soul and every survival instinct of his body were frantically alerting him. His body was trembling. Under this horrible survival instinct, he was unable to draw out his own natal flying sword.

"Take care, everyone..."

Jiang Ding carefully and meticulously memorized the faces of all the old Yuancong True Lords, making sure that he would not forget them. He felt a little heavy in his heart, and then he was immediately amused by True Lord Lieyang.

"I wish you all the best."

Jiang Ding picked up a glass of juice and said seriously without laughing at anything.

This is not false comfort.

In the Great Sun Sword Pavilion system, if a Great Sun Sword cultivator has the courage to challenge a Great Sun Sword Master to a sword fight, then this sword cultivator will generally be useful to the Great Sun Sword Master, in a big or small way. There is even the possibility of a peerless genius who can go against the enemy and is not a Sword Master but is comparable to him.

Killing such a person will bring great benefit to the Tao.

A divine elixir of the Hedao grade is not as useful to Da Ri Jian Zi as such a peerless genius.

"It must be so."

In the end, Master Lieyang was unable to pull out his own flying sword. He sighed deeply, bowed and took his leave.

"Tianjun, take care..."

"Take care of yourself……"

“I wish that the Heavenly Lord will attain the Tao and become an immortal, with an endless life span, and that he will still be able to recall this day billions of years later…”

One by one, the old masters said goodbye to Jiang Ding, and then walked out of the palace resolutely, never looking back, no longer reluctant to leave anything.

The aura around them is deep and oppressive, and they have regained the domineering posture of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, ready to launch a relentless attack on the unknown and terrifying Divine Transformation Tribulation.

Jiang Ding silently watched their backs.

Many people will only appear in memory from now on. The world is cruel.

……

In the Black Demon Palace.

A young man in blue clothes, with a long sword at his waist, sat on the throne.

Compared with the banquet with his old friend Yuan Cong just now, he returned to his usual calmness and indifference, and no longer showed a friendly smile all the time.

A somewhat terrifying, cold aura spread in the palace.

When Gong Caiyu and Han Lin walked into the Black Demon Palace, they immediately felt this subtle atmosphere. Their hearts trembled and their expressions immediately became serious.

"Don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Ding shook his head slightly.

Gong Caiyu has been firmly upholding the Tushan Law and has been working hard for hundreds of years, which has greatly delayed the corruption of many high-level monks in the Tushan Courtyard.

Not to mention Han Lin.

This person does not seek fame or wealth. He is naturally low-key. Unless he is pushed to a critical moment, he is just an ordinary person in the crowd. He is so ordinary that he is a little abnormal and does not show any abnormality.

He clearly did not want to be corrupt, but after carefully examining his surroundings, he immediately followed Guang Tongchen and committed many minor crimes in succession, making himself consistent with the True Lords around him and not doing anything independent.

"I called you here because I have some gifts for you."

Jiang Ding raised his hand, and two square gift boxes flew to the two people respectively: "One top-grade spirit transformation pill can increase the success rate of spirit transformation by 30%. I hope you are all well. We can meet again in the future, reminisce about the past of Yue State, chat together, and laugh together."

He has a deep relationship with his old friend Yuan Cong, but there are differences in this relationship.

Gong Caiyu, his most loyal supporter, is an important figure on whose rule he relies to rule the Tushan Courtyard. She is the most reliable of the political maids, and they grew up together since childhood, so they have a special bond.

Han Lin is quite different, but he is also a good friend from boyhood.

There was a feeling of a gentleman's friendship between the two of them, and they didn't owe each other anything. When they had some spare time, they just gave it to each other.

In fact, over such a long time, he didn't have many close friends. Although Han Lin didn't have a deep relationship with him, he was ranked quite high.

These top-grade divine pills were commissioned by Jiang Ding to be refined by the Immortal Sect not long ago.

The materials were what he had collected over the years, as well as those seized from the treasure house of the royal family of the Horned Demon Emperor. He refined a total of ten pills. After reserving some for Zhang Junsheng, Dinghai Zhenjun, Luling Zhenjun, An Siyan, Jin Lingfeng and others, there were still two or three pills left, so he gave them to the two of them.

"Gong Caiyu gave it to me as a gift."

"Han Lin, yours is borrowed. Pay me back ten times the old price after you become a spirit."

Jiang Ding added another sentence.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

This relationship has both advantages and disadvantages.

The benefit is that we get along equally.

The downside is that since he is not a loyal subordinate or a relative or friend, he will be reluctant to give him expensive gifts.

"Yes, son."

Gong Caiyu looked excited and took it immediately without any embarrassment.

"Master Junior is truly a gentleman."

Han Lin smiled bitterly and also took the jade box.

This junior uncle really thinks highly of him. If he were to give him a top-grade Shenhua Pill, he would definitely accept it without any embarrassment and would not have to pretend to lend it to others.

However, despite saying this, his heart of Tao was the opposite, and it instantly became much clearer.

Han Lin knows himself.

He is an extremely self-centered person.

He cherishes family and friendship, and has a bottom line. He is not some immortal devil, but - once he encounters too serious danger, he will flee immediately without caring about others.

Family, friendship, and love, these are what he cherishes.

However, all these emotions cannot compare to his desire for immortality!
When others are too nice to him without any selfish motives, he will feel some hidden discomfort.

Because, in that case, he would not be able to escape with a clear conscience when in danger, and would have to consider favors and others, which would torture his own spiritual heart.

Why should the Dao heart be tortured?
Because he must run first no matter what.

Even if you owe someone a huge favor, even if you feel uncomfortable and your conscience is in fierce conflict, this will not affect your speed of escape. It will just be very painful and full of inner demons.

Rather than this, Han Lin would rather not owe others too much favor from the beginning.
