Chapter 136: In front of him, it was just a meaningless death

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell completely silent.

People looked at the young man who was pointing at Zhang Taixuan and cursing at him, and they recognized him.

This young man, named Deng Kun, is one of the top ten geniuses on the Tai Shang Qianlong List. Now, he is less than a thousand years old, but has already reached the perfect state of human immortal. He is the object of worship of countless young people in this era.

Therefore, he was able to directly move into Beihui City and fight alongside these old guys. He also made many military achievements on the main battlefield and is now a captain of ten thousand men.

In Deng Kun's eyes, surrendering to the invaders and betraying Tai Shang were extremely shameful and humiliating acts.

Zhang Tianshi, a saint master of the Taishang Fairyland, wrote many methods of cultivating immortals and spread them in Taishang. His disciples were spread throughout Taishang. He was a heavenly master and saint master respected by countless people.

But such a person would actually choose to be the first to stand up and support the invaders. What a shameful behavior!

Hearing Deng Kun's curses, Zhang Taixuan remained calm, with his hands behind his back, and a little fairy light in his pupils.
After a long while, he slowly said, "You are right. From your perspective, and from the perspective of most people who share your state of mind, I am indeed shameful."

"In your eyes, I should be willing to die rather than surrender, and fight that powerful enemy to the point of being wiped out. That's normal and glorious."

"There are quite a few people present here who, although they don't have the courage to speak out, I know that you are actually cursing me and despising me in your hearts."

"Yes, that's right, and it's normal. If you don't even have the courage to curse, it would make me look like a man without any courage."

At this point, everyone looked at Zhang Taixuan standing on the city wall. The setting sun was dim, casting his long shadow on the blood-red ground.
Deng Kun's eyes were also red, he clenched his fists and roared: "Isn't it true?!"

After saying this, Zhang Tianxuan smiled bitterly a few times and said slowly, "If I would rather die than surrender, and fight that powerful enemy to the point of being wiped out, then what?"

"And what you get in return is that you will follow in my footsteps and be reduced to ashes. Not even a single particle of your remains will remain in this world."

"Because in his eyes, we are all ants, ants that can be crushed to death with just a step."

"I also know that you will think that ants should also have the dignity of ants. Even if they die, they must maintain their dignity and would rather die than surrender."

"But what about your family? What about your offspring? What about your descendants? What about the millions of weak people in this Taishang who are not even ants?"

"Because of your dignity and your refusal to surrender, you will eventually die in despair."

At this point, the whole place was completely silent, and many people's eyes changed quietly.
Deng Kun was also stunned.

"I'm telling you."

"Submission is not humiliation, it is just a choice, the best choice under the right conditions."

"I, Zhang Taixuan, have preached the teachings of Taishang all my life and have countless disciples. I also teach my disciples to uphold a strong will and always teach them to love our hometown. When foreign enemies come, they must fight to the death without surrendering."

"As a teacher, I should have died tragically and heroically just now, setting an example for my disciples, and then they would follow my footsteps and die together."

"But."

"Why bother"

These three words were very light, very light, but they echoed in everyone's ears.

"Why should I let them die one by one?"

"They have a strong talent for cultivation and a bright future. They will make achievements on the path of cultivation and realize the ideals they set when they first began to cultivate. They will go to higher places and farther places."

"If the enemy we are facing is an enemy that can be defeated through hard work, persistence, and successive sacrifices."

"Then, I will go to my death without hesitation and set an example for the world, telling them not to give up."

"But."

"You should have seen it all. Even someone as powerful as Lord Lin was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye."

"He is an ant in the eyes of the other party, so what about us?"

"My disciples, your brothers, your subordinates, your descendants, your offspring, your disciples, including yourselves, what are you? Ants? Maybe you can only be regarded as dust in the air."

"Then, what is the meaning of their death?"

At this moment, the entire Beihui City was silent, and the only sound could be heard was the breeze blowing the dead leaves.

"And you, Deng Kun."

At this moment, Zhang Taixuan's gaze fell on Deng Kun.

"Since you are unwilling to be humiliated, why didn't you choose to stand up and die heroically when the enemy was still there?"

"But now that the enemy is gone, you are venting your resentment?"

After these words were spoken, Deng Kun froze in place, and his clenched fists loosened.

"You can't say it, so I'll say it for you."

"You are actually afraid instinctively, and you instinctively want to survive."

Hearing this, Deng Kun's body stiffened, as if he had been severely hurt. Zhang Taixuan's words were like a sharp needle that directly pierced the place he was most reluctant to face.

Then, he looked lonely and lowered his head.

At this time, Zhang Taixuan's tone softened a lot, and he said slowly: "You don't have to blame yourself. I never meant to blame you from the beginning to the end."

"At least, I thank you for standing up and releasing your resentment." "You are not wrong, and you are not a coward. At least you dare to scold me."

"I'm just teaching you, letting you know that submission is not humiliation, but a choice."

"If he doesn't kill us, it means he just wants to become the new master of Tai Shang, not to destroy all of us in Tai Shang."

"Besides, didn't he also say that he would lead Tai Shang to become better and move towards a higher level? Instead of dying meaninglessly, why don't we choose to believe him once?"

After hearing these words, those who had previously despised Zhang Taixuan completely changed their minds.

Yes
What's the point of them dying?
After they die, when the news is passed back to the rear, their disciples, relatives, and descendants will only avenge them, and then they will continue to die.

When there is no meaning in dying, it is better to accept it calmly.

Just like Zhang Tianshi said, he could obviously crush them to death like ants, but he still chose to make them surrender, which means that the other party is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately and only wants to destroy Taishang.

At this time, after hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, the mood of everyone in the main battlefield in the north changed.

At this moment, high in the sky, the third brother looked down at Beihui City and looked at Zhang Taixuan with an expression of great admiration in his eyes.

In fact, they just pretended to leave to see what choice they would make.

If they were just pretending to surrender and were preparing to send the true battle report back to the rear, they would kill them without hesitation. After all, they could not let the whole plan be ruined because of them.

But fortunately, this Zhang Taixuan was beyond their expectations.

"Brother, this is too shabby. He is a talent and worth cultivating."

After that, a low and majestic voice came from the Black Dragon: "Yes, Third Brother, this person has a very high state of mind and sees things clearly. He is worth keeping by your side."

"After we conquer a new world, we can let him rebuild his faith, stabilize the situation, and solve our post-war worries."

"Zhang Taixuan"

The third brother also wrote down the name.

He is indeed a person with a clear vision and a transparent mind, who is worth cultivating and keeping around.

Such people will definitely achieve great things in the future.

"Next, we will capture the main battlefields in the east, north, and west."

"Let's follow the same method as before. If the realm master who is guarding the realm surrenders, we will not kill him. If he refuses to surrender, we will kill him. As for the rest, we will try our best to make them surrender."

"Finally, combining the four main battlefields of the southeast, northwest and northeast, we will head towards the Central Region and kill the Region Lord. This will also be considered as taking over Tai Shang."

The third brother spoke slowly with a sharp gaze.

At this time, the boss thought of something and said, "How about we take Zhang Taixuan with us and let him go to persuade them after we capture a main battlefield."

Hearing this, the third brother's eyes lit up and he said, "Big brother is really thoughtful!"

"Zhang Taixuan has a very high prestige in Taishang Immortal Realm. He is known as the Saint Master of Taishang. He has disciples all over Taishang and is the faith of countless people."

"After we completely seize control of Tai Shang, we will establish Zhang Taixuan as the new domain master and let him rebuild his faith and stabilize the post-war situation. This will also greatly shorten the time it takes us to stabilize the post-war situation."

The boss spoke word by word.

"it is good!"

"We can also take this Taixuan with us to attack other fairy realms in the future, such as the next target, the Ancient Fairy Realm."

Although the third brother has the highest fighting ability, sometimes the eldest brother is more stable, considers the most comprehensive and thoughtful things.

"Alas, the Ancient Immortal Realm is a tough nut to crack."

"After conquering Tai Shang, we need to rest for at least tens of thousands of years to recover our strength, and then develop for tens of thousands of years before we are qualified to attack the Ancient Immortal Realm."

Talking about the "Ancient Fairyland", the boss also looked melancholy.

"About 100,000 years, that's right. My fourth sister and I agreed that we would launch a full-scale attack on the Ancient Wasteland in about 100,000 years."

"I wonder how the fourth sister is doing in the ancient fairyland."

The third brother said quietly.

"Not bad. The Yaoxin Palace established by Fourth Sister has also completely established itself."

"I have secretly been to the Ancient Immortal Realm and resolved a disaster for my junior sister. From now on, Yaoxin Palace should not encounter any major disasters."

The boss said slowly.

At this time, the third brother's eyes lit up and he thought of something: "Oh, brother, I have an idea!"

Hearing this, the eldest brother frowned and asked, "What's your idea? Last time, your idea almost caused us to suffer a great loss. If it weren't for the master's intervention, we would have to recover for at least a thousand years."

"Don't worry, bro. This idea is absolutely reliable."

"It's also for the master."
