Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: The Disciples Who Did Not Wish To Leave, The One Who Did Not Disappoint As Both A Ruler And Wife

Elder Ruyan did as Chu Kuangren asked and gave the disciples their rights to choose. This move concerned many of the sect’s higher-ups.

If all of them chose to run away, then what would be left of the sect?

After all, this crisis was not like any crisis from the past.

Their enemy this time was so much stronger than the Black Heaven Sect that almost no one believed the Black Heaven Sect would win.

People are always selfish in the face of death.

No matter how much affection they had for the Black Heaven Sect, they would still be shaken in face of death.

After Elder Ruyan announced the news, the Black Heaven Sect fell into a state of chaos. There were many discussions among the disciples. Some wanted to leave, while some wanted to stay.

“The Black Heaven Sect has always treated us well. How can we abandon the Black Heaven Sect during these tough times? I can’t bring myself to do this.”

“Don’t leave? You’re saying that we should wait for our deaths here instead?”

“Exactly. If we leave, there will be someone to mourn for the Black Heaven Sect’s death. No one will do that if we all die here, and that will be so sad. Besides, it’s not my wish to die here.”

“I’ve lost my parents since I was young. It was one of the elders who brought me to the Black Heaven Sect. This is my home, and I will not go anywhere else.”

“You guys are a bunch of heartless people. If you want to leave, you can leave on your own.”

“Is it wrong to be scared of death? Besides, the Sect Leader gave us an opportunity to choose. On what basis are you calling us heartless…?”

The entire Black Heaven Sect was almost in a state of pandemonium.

Those who wanted to leave and those who wanted to stay were close to getting into a fistfight. Alas, it was not until Elder Ruyan and the others came out to establish order, that they all calmed down.

“The Black Heaven Sect won’t blame those who want to leave. If you want to fight alongside the Black Heaven Sect until the end, gather in front of Longevity Hall tomorrow morning.”

Elder Ruyan said to the disciples.

The next day.

In front of Longevity Hall.

Elder Ruyan and the others had gathered. Today was the day they found out how many would remain in the Black Heaven Sect.

Truth be told, they were rather perturbed.

After all, the enemies that the Black Heaven Sect would face this time far outnumbered them and were too strong. The chances of them winning are close to zero.

It was not entirely impossible that all the disciples had chosen to leave.

Not many would be willing to stay back and take part in a war that would certainly get them killed.

The front of Longevity Hall looked empty and deserted.

Elder Ruyan sighed softly. “Is there really no one?”

“Sigh, the disparity between the two sides of this battle is too great. These disciples are all still young, with bright futures ahead of them. I think it’s a good thing too if they had chosen to leave.”

An elder sighed.

At this moment, the sun rose, and the light of dawn filled the Longevity Hall.

In the near distance, a few silhouettes could be seen walking towards them.

It was Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, Jun Yi, and a few other Daoists.

Behind them was a crowd of Black Heaven Sect’s disciples. Basked in the morning sunlight, they strode towards the Longevity Wall in succession, with faces full of determination.

A smile of relief etched on Elder Ruyan’s and the few other elders’ faces.

“This is great!”

“These little brats have got guts!”

Nangong Huang and the other Daoists brought along all the disciples, who were willing to stay back and fight with the Black Heaven Sect, to the Longevity Hall.

“Elders, we are willing to live and die for the Black Heaven Sect!”

Nangong Huang looked at Elder Ruyan and said resolutely.

“We’ll live and die with the Black Heaven Sect!”

“We’ll live and die with the Black Heaven Sect!”

All of the disciples said with the same resoluteness.

They had already forsaken life and death when they chose to stay behind.

At that moment, a creaking sound was heard.

The door of the Longevity Hall opened.

Everyone looked in that direction.

All they saw was Chu Kuangren slowly walking out. Seeing all the disciples in front of him, his face broke into a smile. “I guarantee everyone here that as long you’re here and I’m here, the Black Heaven Sect will never perish!”

Upon hearing his words, a sense of security arose inside the crowd’s hearts.
