Chapter 2249: Did the Dao One Immortal Sect rebel?
Just as that disciple finished speaking, the atmosphere became a bit strange for a moment, and in the distance, another large group of beasts charged over.
Faint shouts of killing could still be heard from behind.
"You beast, where are you running?"
Immediately, many human cultivators were seen pursuing relentlessly from behind.
And looking at the direction of the beast herd, it was obviously also heading for the Dao One Immortal Sect; evidently, this group of beasts also had the same idea.
Faced with the wanton slaughter by human cultivators, in order to survive, they also chose to come to the Dao One Immortal Sect to become food.
After all, coming here at least allows them to survive for a while, and as long as they live, there is hope.
Under everyone's gaze, the beast herd quickly came from far to near, charging to outside the gate of the Dao One Immortal Sect.
At this point, the place was already overrun with beasts; this newly arrived batch of beasts could only desperately squeeze inside.
Meanwhile, the human cultivators chasing from behind, seeing this, were momentarily stunned and didn't react.
What's going on?
All I see is, how come there's a sect here, and moreover, how are the human cultivators and beasts standing together?
However, just as everyone was dazed, the human cultivator who had spoken earlier suddenly shouted angrily.
"Enough."
Huh???
The shout attracted everyone's attention; under countless gazes, that human cultivator coldly stared at Ye Zhangqing and questioned him.
"What else do you have to say, Dao One Immortal Sect?"
With an accusatory look, seeing this, Ye Zhangqing was displeased and naturally wouldn't give him a good face, responding in the same icy tone.
"What are you talking about? They're just food."
"Rebellious, you Dao One Immortal Sect are planning to rebel? You dare to shelter beasts."
As soon as these words were spoken, that cultivator instantly flew into a rage, "What nonsense about food, these are merely beast remnants."
Speaking, his aura surged skyward, while those human cultivators who came later, seeing this, looked bewildered.
"What just rebelled?"
They kind of understood, but seemed not to fully grasp it.
They only knew that these beasts seemed to be something like food for this Dao One Immortal Sect.
However, at this moment, everyone obviously couldn't worry about that much, and moreover, someone took the lead.
"I don't care what immortal sect you are; whoever dares to shelter beast remnants is a sinner of the entire human race."
"Right."
"Attack, those who obstruct will be killed without mercy."
In an instant, many human cultivators were about to act; seeing this, the Dao One Immortal Sect's fellow brothers hadn't moved yet, and the beasts couldn't sit still, each bursting with blood and qi, roaring loudly.
"Defend the sect."
Huh???
Upon hearing this, the human side's faces turned even darker, still saying you Dao One Immortal Sect aren't traitors?
A group of beasts shouted about protecting the sect; what kind of sect is this?
Would food protect the sect?
Not to mention these human cultivators, even Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but darken his face at this bunch of beasts...............
Just looking at the current situation, the crowd is furious; in this state, trying to reason is obviously impossible.
Moreover, even if we let them deal with the surrounding beasts, after killing them, likely these guys would end up destroying the Dao One Immortal Sect together.
After all, this sort of thing isn't unprecedented; when people's heads are flushed with blood, there's nothing they won't do.
So, the first thing to do now is to stabilize the situation and let these people calm down.
And to achieve that, the only way is to use strength to suppress them; there is no other method.
Just.................... Huang Lao's External Incarnation Token..................
"Brother Ye, find a chance to leave; the External Incarnation Token was just used up."
At this moment, Tianlin's voice also sounded in my mind; evidently he and I were thinking the same thing.
We all know the situation is not good now, plus someone is acting rashly; most importantly, the External Incarnation Token is gone.
Tianlin had just rummaged through the Space Ring earlier, and only then realized it.
We need to run; if we wait, we won't be able to escape.
Everything was already prepared, but the next second, Ye Zhangqing's mental transmission rang in Tianlin's mind.
"I still have a piece left, Brother Tian, don't panic."
Huh???
Upon hearing this, Tianlin stared blankly at Ye Zhangqing, "You kept a piece?"
Just now, when facing the beast tide, he had actually used up all of his ancestor's External Incarnation Tokens, and you kept a piece?
His gaze was full of complexity as he looked at Ye Zhangqing; am I too honest?
Ye Zhangqing also didn't have time to explain, seeing everyone clench their fists and ready to attack.
Without hesitation, he directly took out Huang Lao's External Incarnation Token from the Space Ring and crushed it.
The next second, a terrifying pressure surged skyward; its appearance was like a bucket of cold water, instantly cooling the heated crowd.
"This............ Senior Huang Lao."
Someone recognized Huang Lao's identity, then turned their gaze to Ye Zhangqing, "Who is this kid? How does he have Senior Huang Lao's External Incarnation Token?"
Faced with a current supreme human expert, they naturally dare not provoke him.
Slaughtering the beast race, that's occupying the righteous cause, and moreover now is still the time to beat a dog in the water, so there's absolutely no panic.
But if you offend Huang Lao, that's like lighting a lamp in the toilet.
In a moment, many people abandoned the idea of taking action, and even more so, they suddenly recognized Ye Zhangqing's identity.
He is the Young City Lord of Cooking King Immortal City, one of the five great Heavenly Pride Yāoniè of the present age.
I don't know if they only just recognized him now, or if they had understood all along but pretended to be confused.
Anyway, as soon as those words were spoken, more and more people abandoned the idea of taking action.
Only a tiny minority, like that old guy leading them, still glared at Ye Zhangqing and Tianlin with an unwilling expression, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Young Master Ye, Heavenly Young Master, even if your identities are extraordinary, you cannot do this in the face of right and wrong; how many of our human race have the beast race killed? As Heavenly Pride of our human race, do you still want to protect these beasts?"
"What a big hat, hearing that, Tianlin let out a cold snort, and Ye Zhangqing directly spoke up."
"I didn't say I wanted to protect them; it's just that this place is where my Dao One Immortal Sect is located. If you take action here and destroy the sect, what then? Is it wrong for me to protect the sect?"
"You........................"
With such a number of beast herds, plus so many human cultivators, if a battle were to break out here, the Dao One Immortal Sect's sect-protecting grand formation would definitely not be able to withstand it.
By then the sect will definitely be razed to the ground; the crucial point is that Qi Xiong and the others are still in closed-door breakthrough to the immortal realm.
What Ye Zhangqing said was also not wrong; hearing that, the old thing leading them glanced at the beast herd shrinking around the Dao One Immortal Sect, sensed his gaze, and a beast race member coldly shouted.
"What are you looking at, old thing? We are ingredients, so we naturally cannot leave the sect."
Huh???
"You still say you're not protecting them?"
As soon as those words were spoken, the old man turned toward Ye Zhangqing again, his face flushed red, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
After all that talk, it's just that they can't take action, right?
