Chapter 1026: They Are All Good People
"Put aside your prejudices and work together for Tian Nan?"
"I hope so."
Hearing Liu Yu's words, and seeing how composed the other man was despite honor and disgrace, Thunderstorm True Lord said nothing, only thinking to himself.
He did not have much confidence in that.
He had tried before.
The prejudice in people's hearts was an insurmountable mountain, something that could never be completely set aside.
Only with absolute force could such prejudice be temporarily suppressed.
But now, with ancient secret realms emerging one after another and heroes rising like dragons and snakes from the earth, while transformation spirit sovereigns were restrained by the demonic emperor, Heavenly Thunder Palace clearly did not have that kind of strength.
That battle just now had left him deeply dispirited.
Even though he had the advantage first, he had still been pressed down and beaten. Thunderstorm True Lord's spirit had inevitably dimmed.
He suddenly realized that because the emergence of secret realms had increased the resources for cultivating immortality, many of those resources had flowed throughout the tian nan cultivation world, and the entire cultivation world had become far more unpredictable.
The number of core formation and yuan ying cultivators would far exceed that of ordinary times, and Heavenly Thunder Palace could no longer control every change.
If things went badly, it could even be overthrown.
And the old demon qingyang before him was undoubtedly one of the forces behind it, and the greatest variable of all.
"No shame to the sect—I have already done my best."
"So-called 'since ancient times' is only a few tens of thousands of years, after all."
"But the inertia formed over such a long time has made the people in the sect still look at this era with the eyes of the past, even thinking they can control every variable. That is simply a grave mistake."
"Only by experiencing things personally can one truly understand the cause and effect behind them."
"The sect is so rotten on the inside. In the future, it will probably be extremely passive..."
From afar, looking at Liu Yu, Thunderstorm True Lord's gaze grew deep, his expression changing as his mood became complicated.
After a brief slump, he still pulled himself together.
"Strength—everything still comes from strength."
"Whether it is resisting the demonic race, suppressing those who refuse to submit, or cleaning up the rotten sect, all of it requires even greater strength!"
"First recover from my injuries, then advance to divine transformation as soon as possible. I hope everything is still in time."
In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through his mind. Thunderstorm True Lord's expression returned to calm, and he raised a hand from afar toward Liu Yu in salute.
Then his gaze shifted toward Five Elements Pass, or rather the front lines beyond it. Turning into a streak of golden escape light, he vanished from the horizon in an instant.
He was tired of internal conflict and internal consumption. Now he was going where he should go, to do what he could.
The tide had already turned against them. Seeing this, Yulin True Lord lightly nodded to Liu Yu and Primordial Master, then also transformed into escape light and flew toward Five Elements Pass.
As for Crimson Lizard Demon Lord, she did not even bother to say goodbye. She simply turned into a streak of escape light and disappeared.
Facing Blood Sea Demon Lord's gaze and his lingering resentment, she ignored it completely and did not take it to heart at all.
Seeing the three True Lords leave one after another, the True Lords from the three great powers also dispersed in turn.
"That strike just now, overpowering the three True Lords and reversing the outcome of battle—President, you are truly a model for all of us!"
"This old man has a fourth-tier high quality spiritual elixir here that can help Friend Qingyang recover his magical power."
"May I ask, fellow daoist, what was that spell just now called?"
"Friend Qingyang..."
