Fairness? Justice?
Why is it that you "old folks" can stand by and watch from a high place without risking your lives, while we have to fight with our lives on the line?
At this moment, many golden core cultivators had this thought flicker through their minds.
Especially the loose cultivators among them, although their expressions did not change much, their hearts were already filled with a raging anger.
However, those who managed to cultivate to the golden core realm as loose cultivators had gone through numerous hardships, and thus did not show their dissatisfaction outwardly.
For a time, the three spiritual ships fell into silence.
Due to some dissatisfaction, many cultivators’ anger at their bindings and their desire for revenge against the demonic race had decreased significantly.
The deck was silent, so quiet it felt somewhat terrifying.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Tao knew that simply invoking lofty ideals would not mobilize the enthusiasm of these cultivators.
Golden core cultivators are not so easily fooled.
"Fellow daoists, whether we can break through Spiritual Martial City is closely related to the fate of every one of us present."
"It is not only about the Zhang Clan, but also about every fellow daoist."
"Though the spiritual confinement chains have been lifted, it still cannot be considered true freedom."
"Only by breaking through Spiritual Martial City can we gain true freedom!"
"Otherwise, if the plan fails and we continue to stay in Annan Six Continents, we will inevitably face the reckoning of the demonic race."
"Once the plan begins, there will be no turning back, and trying to hide as we did before is no longer possible."
The spiritual power shield faded away, and Zhang Tao swept his gaze across the cultivators on the three ships, slowly articulating their current predicament.
This time, regardless of whether the Zhang Clan succeeds or fails, the actions in Annan Six Continents will change, making it impossible to return to the past.
Thus, his words aimed to completely dispel any remaining hopes in the hearts of the cultivators and make them recognize their current situation.
Whether the battle at Spiritual Martial City succeeded or failed, the cultivators in Annan Six Continents would undergo a thorough examination; it would not be surprising for a fourth-order demonic king to personally intervene.
By then, would there still be a safe place in the Six Continents?
What Zhang Tao implied was that the best choice was to follow the Zhang Clan and fight well in the battle for Spiritual Martial City, without harboring any delusions.
In the crowd, Liu Yu nodded silently upon hearing this.
The reason he participated in this action was also influenced by this consideration.
Regardless of whether the Zhang Clan's uprising succeeded or failed, it would undoubtedly alarm the demonic race.
At that time, if he wanted to calmly find a way to leave Annan Six Continents, it was likely that the external conditions would no longer be available.
Therefore, it was better to participate.
"Zhang Tao's words are very true; we all understand this, fellow daoist."
"Attacking Spiritual Martial City is in the interest of all the fellow daoists; we will spare no effort."
After a moment of silence, a cultivator cupped his hands and spoke loudly.
The other silent cultivators still had somewhat unsightly expressions, but they cupped their hands in silence as well.
Indeed, the Zhang Clan would benefit the most, but attacking Spiritual Martial City was also in the common interest of everyone present.
Sensing the change in the attitudes of the cultivators present, Zhang Tao understood they had recognized reality, and he smiled slightly, his previously strong demeanor softening as he nodded lightly, saying:
"For this operation, my family has made ample preparations; as long as you fellow daoists work together with the Zhang Clan, we will surely be able to capture this city!"
"Elder Tianling has already conveyed that those who perform well in the upcoming siege will definitely not be treated poorly by the Zhang Clan!"
