From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 566 Heroes and Cowards

On the Yunnan-Guizhou Expressway, a green metal truck was scorched by the sun.
It was noon, the sun was at its hottest, and the scorching sunlight shone on the faces of the soldiers who were walking on the road with their heads down.

They lowered their heads, said nothing, and guarded the truck with light footsteps.

The dead silence and heaviness mixed with the strong smell of blood on his combat uniform made him feel like returning from hell.

But in the eyes of all the soldiers, what they had just experienced was something more terrifying than hell.

A mountain shrouded in clouds and mist was seen in the distance. The leading officer looked at this famous mountain in Shu that had once haunted the entire Chinese nation, and finally felt a sense of peace in his heart.

The trucks and soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain. Liu Ming and Zhao Ziyao, who had received the news early, were waiting at the gate and trotted over.

"Chi Yuanjun, Yubao Zhenren, and several Baiyun Zhenchuan disciples... are all in the car."

"We really don't know where to send them. Qingcheng Mountain is empty. Commander Xie is organizing a second line of defense. The people in the car are too seriously injured. After thinking about it, only Baiyun Mountain can save them."

The commander saluted Liu Ming and Zhao Ziyao. Liu Ming lowered his head awkwardly, and Zhao Ziyao returned the salute with a solemn expression.

"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work."

Led by the officer, the two walked to the car. When Zhao Ziyao saw the scene in the car, her eyes became sore and she almost cried.

The five true disciples of Baiyun, who were once so high-spirited, were now lying in the carriage, with weak breaths. Even an ordinary person could kill them at this moment.

Li Linger lost one arm, which was the right hand that held the sword. The broken arm was lost on the battlefield and there was no possibility of reattaching it.

Zhu Ling and Xiao Zhuoma had their eyes tightly closed, their faces were pale, and the bandages tightly wrapped around their bodies were faintly stained with blood.

The only one who was still sober was Wang Shuhuan. When he saw Zhao Ziyao and Liu Ming opening the car door, he forced a smile on his face.

"Sister Ziyao, we are back."

Zhao Ziyao finally couldn't help it, so she squatted down and sobbed softly.

Liu Ming lowered his head, not daring to look at them, and went to another truck.

"Chi Yuanjun and Yubao Zhenren are in very bad condition. They are now relying on the life jade left by Li Zhenjun. I'm sorry, we don't have any way to treat them."

The officer stood next to Liu Ming and whispered.

Liu Ming looked at the bolt on the car door, his body trembling, but he didn't dare to reach out his hand.

"It was Master Yubao who finally stopped the army of the Jizhen Realm and killed five human immortals on the opposite side with one sword, which bought us time to retreat. Then, Chi Yuanjun dragged his seriously injured body to take back Master Yubao's body and the Ji Sword..."

"The new sword master is on his way to Baiyun Mountain and is expected to arrive this afternoon."

The officer finished speaking, pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and his body trembled a little:
"This war is too brutal."

The specific casualty data has not been counted, and there is no need to count it, as it would only increase despair.

The officer only knew that when they retreated from Qiongzhou, the entire sea was blood red, and even the sea breeze smelled strongly of rust.

"Where is my master?" Liu Ming retracted his right hand and spoke with his head lowered.

"Li Zhenjun and Zhang Tianshi are currently fighting against five earthly immortals at Mount Longhu. The outcome of the battle is unknown."

The commander's voice was complicated. No one knew the outcome of the battle there. Looking from a very far distance, there were only sword lights and roars that broke through the clouds. Even Longhu Mountain was cracked, creating a doomsday scene.

All satellites trying to observe the battle situation were destroyed and interfered by the inexplicable sword light, and drones were destroyed by the aftermath of the battle before they could get close.

As for the battle situation in Longhu Mountain, there is nothing Blue Star can do except wait.

And everyone also knows that once the battle of Longhu Mountain is over, the war will be completely over.

"Yeah." Liu Ming nodded, only to feel his hands and feet go cold.

Five earthly immortals...that’s five earthly immortals in total. He really couldn’t think of any possibility of his master winning.

"Let's go up the mountain first. There are elixirs there. Let's stabilize Zhu Ling and Chi Yuanjun's injuries first."

Zhao Ziyao had already walked down from the truck, her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.

"it is good!"

The thick clouds and fog at the foot of Baiyun Mountain dissipated, revealing the stone steps on the mountain.

Then a group of Baiyun disciples came out one after another and cooperated with the soldiers to send the wounded in the car to the top of the mountain.

After doing all this, the leading officer and his soldiers hurried away, generous and tragic.

Then, Liu Ming finally saw the current appearance of Master Yubao.

The Taoist woman who was once graceful and like a banished angel from heaven, now lies quietly on the bed. Her black hair has turned white, her skin is dull, and there is almost no flesh and blood under her green Taoist robe.

Like a candle in the wind, the faint flame is on the verge of going out at any time.

Chi Yuanjun standing by also had his eyes closed, his white robe stained with blood, and his Zhao Luan sword was broken.

Along with the four true disciples of Baiyun, six patients were lying in the Yuchan Hall in the back mountain. Zhao Ziyao and several Baiyun disciples took out all the healing pills on the mountain and walked back and forth beside the six beds with red eyes.

All the healing talismans that Li Yang had drawn before leaving the mountain were used together, and several Baiyun True Disciples barely stabilized his injuries.

However, these healing talismans and elixirs are obviously not enough for Taoist cultivators and human immortals.

"No, Uncle Master Yan Hong and Master Yu Bao are too powerful and their injuries are too severe. The talismans and pills on the mountain have no effect on them!"

Zhao Ziyao looked at Chi Yanhong and Yubao, who looked exhausted, and was so anxious that she was about to cry again.

"I have some pills in my hand."

A voice came from outside the temple.

Liu Ming, who had been standing at the entrance of Yuchan Hall and dared not enter the hall, spoke. Then, as if he had been prepared, he took out five storage rings from his arms and asked his disciples to bring them into the hall.

"I don't know which ones are useful to them. All the things I have gained from various blessed places over the years are here. Sister Ziyao, please take a look and see which ones can be used."

Liu Ming still didn't dare to enter the hall. He stood at the door and spoke with a trembling voice.

They were his comrades-in-arms, his fellow apprentices, his master's wife, and people he cared about, but he didn't dare to meet them.

"Why has this world suddenly changed?"

Liu Ming tilted his head back and cried.

Almost everything that Liu Ming could collect could be considered rare treasures. Zhao Ziyao looked at the dazzling array of elixirs and magical instruments in the storage ring, and her opinion of Liu Ming faded a little.

Ever since Liu Ming fled from the battlefield and returned to Baiyun Mountain, the original Baiyun Five True Transmissions has become Baiyun Four True Transmissions in the mouths of some disciples.

Zhao Ziyao could understand, but could not accept such cowardly behavior.

Zhao Ziyao struggled in the Yuchan Hall for an hour, and Liu Ming stood silently outside the hall for an hour.

Zhao Ziyao walked out of the hall without even looking at Liu Ming. She said to the Baiyun disciple beside her in a deep voice, "How is the battle going on at Longhu Mountain?"

"No results yet, but the news I received is much smaller than it was an hour ago." "Okay."

Zhao Ziyao frowned and thought. In a battle like this at the Earth Immortal level, if it wasn't a one-shot kill, it would be an endless struggle. It would take some time for the battle at Longhu Mountain to end.

Liu Ming, who was standing by, saw that Zhao Ziyao seemed to be ignoring him and was about to leave, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ziyao, I wonder how Master's Wife and Master Yubao are doing?"

Zhao Ziyao turned her head and glanced at Liu Ming: "What's the situation? You can find out if you go in and take a look yourself."

"Liu Ming, how long are you going to hide?"

After Zhao Ziyao finished speaking, she strode towards the front mountain without looking back.

She had successfully broken through the seed path half a month ago, and had been applying to Li Yang to go to the front line, but her application was not approved, and she was very angry.

Liu Ming was blocked by Zhao Ziyao's words. His originally nonchalant expression showed a rare trace of embarrassment. He froze there until Zhao Ziyao walked away.

Standing at the door of Yuchan Hall, Liu Ming struggled, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and walked into the hall.

In the main hall, Zhao Ziyao used spirit stones to arrange a simple Qi gathering formation. Six wooden beds were quietly placed in the center of the hall. Chen Li, Song Ling and other female disciples walked back and forth around the wooden beds, taking care of the wounded.

Wang Shuhuan, the only conscious one among the six patients, was chatting with Chen Li. When he saw Liu Ming coming in, he smiled.

"You kid, I finally made you bleed profusely."

"You're also letting me use some good stuff. Five storage rings. Did you take out all the stock this time?"

Chen Li, who was standing beside Wang Shuhuan's bed, wiped away her tears. Seeing Liu Ming coming, she gave up her seat to her fellow apprentices with red eyes.

Liu Ming walked over and saw Yu Bao with his eyes closed, Li Linger with a broken arm, and Chi Yanhong covered in blood.

He walked to Wang Shuhuan's window, lowered his head, something stuck in his throat, and finally condensed it into three words:

"sorry."

Wang Shuhuan kept looking at him and grinned: "What are you sorry for?"

"I should have been with you in this battle."

Wang Shuhuan heard this and shook his head palely: "What can we do together? Even if you go to the battle, it won't change anything."

"The gap in this war is too big, and it's not something that a few of us can change."

Having said that, Wang Shuhuan kept his fists clenched tightly, with boiling anger and extreme unwillingness in his eyes.

Liu Ming raised his head, doubt flashing in his eyes;

"Since it cannot be changed, why do you still try to change it?"

Wang Shuhuan was stunned when he heard this.
"Because someone always needs to make changes."

Liu Ming's voice suddenly became hasty, his eyes bloodshot: "Isn't that stupid? With your talent, as long as you hide, even if Blue Star is defeated, as long as you stay dormant, you will eventually become a seed immortal, a human immortal, or even an earth immortal."

“Wouldn’t it be easier to change at that time?”

"It's different." Wang Shuhuan shook his head.

"What's the difference?" Liu Ming leaned forward, his eyes red, and asked in an almost interrogative tone:

Wang Shuhuan's face became solemn, and he looked calmly at Liu Ming, whose eyes were red:
"When we become Xiantian, there will be Zhongdao on the other side. When we become Zhongdao, there will be human immortals on the other side to deal with us. When we become human immortals, there will be earth immortals to kill us."

"Even if he becomes an Earth Immortal, is there no cultivator in the Extreme Realm who is more powerful than an Earth Immortal?"

"Master once said, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always things that are better than you."

Wang Shuhuan struggled to sit on the bed, looked at Liu Ming, and said word by word:
"If you choose to wait, you have to wait forever, without end."

"And in the process of waiting, everything we cherish and care about will be destroyed."

"Only by choosing to fight can everything end. That's why Master, at the level of a human immortal, wants to fight against the earth immortals. That's why Xiao Zhuoma and Li Ling'er, even if they are innate, will draw their swords against Zhongdao."

"Some things, you just can't wait for them."

Perhaps because he had been holding it in for too long, or perhaps because he had been thinking for too long, Wang Shuhuan said a lot and looked at Liu Ming with a determined look.

Liu Ming staggered to his feet, opened and closed his mouth, but no words came out.

He felt that what Wang Shuhuan said was probably wrong.

He himself was the long-awaited master of the Liu Sect, the long-awaited disciple of Baiyun.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He didn't dare to look at Wang Shuhuan's eyes. That scorching look made Liu Ming's heart tremble.

He turned his head subconsciously, and suddenly in his sight appeared the pale face of Master Yubao with his eyes closed, and the empty right arm of Li Linger, who had always been at odds with him.

"You are heroes."

"And I am not..."

After saying this dejectedly, Liu Ming slowly walked out of the Yuchan Palace.

Liu Ming walked straight ahead to the mountain, lost in thought, until a huge black shadow blocked out the sun.
The disciples around him suddenly quickened their pace, and their panicked shouts spread across the entire mountain.

I looked up blankly and saw a huge black spaceship hovering over Baiyun Mountain. Then, a man in golden armor looked down at Baiyun Mountain.
"Is this the indigenous dojo that held back the True Lords?"

"You are stubborn and try to challenge the power of heaven, and you will only end up destroying yourself."

"Natives, accept God's punishment!"

A cold and contemptuous voice sounded from the sky above Baiyun Mountain, echoing downwards and causing the leaves in the mountain forests to rustle.

The entire Baiyun Mountain was suddenly in chaos.

At the same time, a monk in golden armor appeared in the sky above several famous mountains and caves such as Qingcheng Mountain and Wutai Mountain.

Looking at the figures in the sky wearing golden armor that looked like gods, Lan Xing suddenly realized that at this moment Lan Xing could no longer produce decent seeding and human immortal combat power.

In other words, at this moment, Blue Star has completely lost air superiority!

The army of the Jizhen Realm seemed to be very familiar with China's famous mountains and caves. Perhaps due to historical reasons, or perhaps an insider leaked the news in advance, they wanted to seize these famous mountains and caves and seize the good fortune.

The situation in Baiyun Mountain was relatively better. Ten years ago, Zhang Daoling had given Li Yang a formation diagram. With ten years of improvement and cultivation, the mountain protection formation barely blocked this human immortal cultivator.

However, without an expert in charge, the mountain protection formation was also somewhat shaky under the all-out attack of this immortal from the Jizhen Realm.

Rumble!
The dazzling sword light bombarded the formation, but was blocked by a layer of transparent light curtain, causing waves of cloud patterns to ripple out, shaking the entire Baiyun Mountain.

When Liu Ming trotted to find Zhao Ziyao in the Baiyun Palace, Zhao Ziyao was carrying the Chengying sword on her shoulder and had a fierce look in her eyes.

"Wang Xin, open the formation for me!"

"Damn it, I'm going to go out and chop him to death!!"
