Chapter 421 - 421: That’s It? (1)
Demon God Island.
When Demon Han Zhao returned to the main hall of the Demon God Mountain with a solemn expression, the hearts of the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect sank.
“Big Brother, what did Elder Huffs envoy say?” Lin Yu went forward and asked.
“He wants my Heavenly Demon Sect to hand over 10% of the profits every year before he’s willing to inform Elder Huo. Moreover, he can’t guarantee that the Heavenly Demon Sect won’t be the vanguard.”
Demon Han Zhao said in a low voice. His face was tense as he tried his best not to expose his current carefree mood. “Outrageous?! He’s simply a bandit!”
“We will never agree to such a condition!”
“Be the vanguard! There’s nothing to be afraid of!” “That’s right! I’d rather die on the front line than suffer such anger!’
The disciples and elders below shouted indignantly.
“I’ve already rejected him, so everyone, go back and make preparations. We’ll set off for Dark North Island in two hours. I’ll personally lead the team. In addition, the participants this time are all voluntary!” Demon Han Zhao said.
“If Sect Master goes straight to the front line, who will guard Demon God
Mountain? What if those despicable people who covet the Heavenly Demon Pool invade? And if they’re willing, I’m afraid…” A purple-robed elder’s expression changed slightly and he was a little hesitant. If they were really willing, not many people would be willing to go.
“If we go, we only lose land. If we refuse, we’ll lose both land and people.” Demon Han Zhao said indifferently, “These disciples are the future of the
Heavenly Demon Sect. We can’t easily die at the front line.”
“Well said! I’m willing to follow Sect Master to Dark North Island.”
“I’m willing too!”
“Count me in.”
“And me!”
When the Heavenly Demon Cave disciples, who were originally a little worried, heard that Lin Zhan wanted to personally lead the team, their morale immediately soared.
The only thing they were afraid of was going to the front line to die in vain and become cannon fodder. Meanwhile, the people above were guarding the back. However, now that the sect master was personally leading the team, they had no reason to be afraid.
As the saying went, wealth came from danger. A martial artist had to have the courage to press forward. Being the vanguard was indeed dangerous, but it was also a good opportunity to make a contribution.
“The Heavenly Demon Sect has been silent for too long. The people outside might have already forgotten the reputation of the Nether Demon Flame and the Heavenly Demon Policy.” Demon Han Zhao stood proudly. After saying this, he placed his hands behind his back and left the hall.
“Where there are people, there are land. Where there are people, there are land.” Lin Yu savored these words carefully. As he watched Han Zhao leave, he couldn’t help but look forward to it. He really looked like his big brother!
“Brother! Wait for me!”
Lin Yu quickly caught up.
The disciples behind chased after him.
There were less than half of the disciples left in the hall. Everyone could not help but look at each other in shame.
“Let’s go all out!”
Under the disdainful gazes of the disciples outside the hall, many people felt their blood boil and chased after him.
Demon Han Zhao came to the platform outside the hall and stood still. Soon, all the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect received the news.
That sentence, “If we go, we only lose land. If we refuse, we’ll lose both land and people.” , also made many people’s blood boil.
Although the sect master was domineering and strict, he was clear about rewards and punishments. It was their honor to be able to follow such a sect master to the battlefield.
They were not going to the battlefield for the so-called righteousness of the human race, but for the reputation of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
“Sect Master, the disciples have already gathered. Sect Master, please review them!” A purple-robed elder came to the front of the crowd and bowed to
Demon Han Zhao.
The inner sect disciples in the team took up half of the space, and the elders of the sect were all present.
It was not that the elders were enlightened, but that the disciples could choose voluntarily. However, as elders, under the situation where the sect master was at the front, if they were afraid of death and did not go, even if the sect master did not pursue the matter later, there would be no place for them in the Heaven Demon Sect in the future.
They really could not afford to lose face.
“We’re willing to follow the Sect Master!” The uniform voice of more than a thousand disciples resounded throughout the entire platform.
“Next, let the foreign races remember the name Lin Zhan.” Demon Han Zhao sighed in his heart.
He looked around the field and said loudly, “Disciples below Force Tempering, step out.”
“Yes!” The disciples stepped out in an orderly manner. In an instant, four-fifths of the nearly 1,000-man team was gone.
Even though the outer seas was a paradise for martial artists and martial artists had abundant cultivation resources, and the Heavenly Demon Sect was a large sect that had once been glorious and had a deep foundation, there were only about 200 Force Tempering Martial Masters and less than 10 Grandmaster Realm martial artists.
“You guys stay behind and guard the sect,” Demon Han Zhao continued.
“Why?!’
“We want to follow the sect master!”
The disciples said excitedly.
Demon Han Zhao raised his eyebrows. The sect was indeed much more cohesive than the gang!
Back when he was in the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, those disciples would push the blame to each other whenever something happened. When they were eliminating the pirates, they had spent a lot of effort to gather a few hundred people, They were clearly forced by external forces, but they found him to take the blame.
Of course, this was also related to Lin Zhan’s charisma. As a leader, Shangguan Yunfei was quite a failure.
There was no comparison between the two.
“There are too many people. I can’t take care of them,” Demon Han Zhao said indifferently.
“Those below Force Tempering are too weak!” After saying that, he added.
When the disciples heard this, many of their faces turned red. They were not angry, but ashamed. Especially those who did not cultivate hard enough usually, they felt regret.
Martial artists who did not experience storms and battles would have limited future achievements even if they had excellent aptitude. This was a perfect opportunity.
Especially with a top expert like the sect master taking care of him.
“Let’s go.” Demon Han Zhao waved his sleeve, and demonic energy lingered around his body as he flew down the mountain..
