Chu Yang smiled slightly, but in his heart, he was thinking: The formidable lineup of the enemies has already made everyone lose confidence… This is not a good phenomenon.
"Chu Yang, the only ones captured by the Li family are the four of us," a law enforcement officer suddenly became serious, "Since it doesn’t have much to do with you, as long as we die… the opponent's defense line will loosen up a bit, and you will have a chance to get out."
He paused and said, "Let’s split up, the nine of us."
Chu Yang's body trembled as he looked at the four law enforcement officers.
The four of them looked at him with calm expressions, clearly this suggestion was not abrupt; the four of them had already discussed it many times in secret.
At this moment, it was finally brought up.
Since the four of them had no hope of escaping anyway, why drag so many good friends down with them?
In that instant, the four of them had unknowingly regarded Chu Yang and the others as friends with whom they could entrust their lives.
To hell with the otherworldly demons.
Chu Yang fell silent for a moment and said, "We’ve been together for about ten days; I’m sorry, I haven’t asked for everyone’s names."
The law enforcement officer who spoke smiled, "Once you enter the Hall of Justice, you no longer have your own name. I’m called Xing Yi; the other three can be referred to as Xing Er, Xing San, and Xing Si."
A warm expression appeared in his eyes: "We brothers, a total of thirty-six, are ranked by age rather than cultivation level. However, among us, the highest cultivation level is Xing Seventeen, who is a supreme fourth rank… hehe, that doesn’t change the overall situation."
Chu Yang nodded, "Are you saying that you won't fulfill Lang Chief's last wish? You’ll just let your ten brothers suffer in silence?"
Xing Yi chuckled, "If we could fulfill it, we would. But given the current situation, I believe Lang Chief wouldn’t blame us for not being able to do so."
"I understand what you mean," Chu Yang nodded, "You want to clear our names and not implicate us, so you want to sacrifice yourselves for our safety."
"I'm very touched," Chu Yang said deeply, "But I need to tell you a few things."
"First, we are currently one body. The Li family will not let you go, nor will they let us go. Only if we all die will they be able to permanently cover up the matter of them killing Lang Yilang and opposing the enforcers."
"Therefore, even if you die, they will still continue to hunt us down."
"Secondly, if in battle, the brothers die to protect each other, we will be sad but also proud. However, to stand by and watch you sacrifice yourselves while being protected by you… is a kind of shame."
"We are friends now, and I believe none of you would want your friends to bear such shame?"
"Thirdly, giving up is a habit," Chu Yang chuckled, his eyes filled with determination. "If you die today and we survive, it ultimately means we gave up on you. During a critical moment, to save my own life, I abandoned you; then, when the next critical moment comes, will I also abandon them?"
He pointed to Wei Wuyan and the others.
"If this continues… one day, when the time comes again, I might abandon my parents, wife, and children because… by then, giving up has become a habit."
"But in the end, even if I could survive, I would be no different from a beast."
Chu Yang said heavily, "Whether it's being a person or doing things, I cannot give up."
"Even in dire straits."
Xing Yi and the other four fell silent for a moment and said, "Since Brother Chu has said this, then let’s die together, haha... On the Road to the Underworld, with good brothers accompanying us, it won't be lonely."
"Wrong," Chu Yang replied淡淡道, "Who told you that we are surely doomed?"
"At this point, do you think we can still break out?" Xing San asked in surprise.
In the face of such a situation, not just the four of them, even Wei Wuyan, who always had confidence in Chu Yang, and the man of unparalleled talent, had long since despaired.
