Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 437

Chapter 437: 437

Lan could feel the bottled up emotions within his heart stir . It had been more than ten thousand years since the death of Li Zhiqing, but that short time they spent together was forever etched into his mind . He would never forget it, nor the effect it had on his life .

For Li Zhiqing, he stayed behind in this world . He was never going to let her world succumb to the passing of time like she did .

Lan felt complicated . He wanted to destroy the world to accompany her in her burial, but at the same time, he also wanted to protect the world that she loved .

Lan took a deep breath and steadied his emotions . While he was upset, the entire sky had turned overcast, the sound of rumbling thunder could be heard in the distance, and the wind was picking up .

While the other contestants were unaware of what was happening, Xue Wei could see the complex emotions on Lan’s face .

It was clear that he had been affected by their conversation in one way or another, but Xue Wei was still not aware of how significant an influence this woman, whom he had mentioned earlier, had on Lan .

Xue Wei did not continue the conversation, Lan also tactfully left it be, and the two of them stood with their arms crossed over their chests and looked at the battle that was ongoing in front of them .

Hei Gou, Lin Xiao, Bai Tianyi, and Luoluo were all working hard, their foreheads beading with sweat, and their eyes full of a tenacious will to take down every enemy that dared approach them .

In the beginning, many had charged at them, but after seeing that they were all thrown out, one after another, the remaining people became alert, and did not rush over .

"They are quite stupid," Xue Wei muttered when he saw the people on the platform all consider everyone around them as enemies .

"Oh, what makes you say this?" Lan asked curiously, and Xue Wei glanced at him . His mood was back at being a joker, impossible to see through his small smile and apathetic eyes .

Xue Wei knew that he was back to being the troublesome Lan he knew, and for some reason, he felt relieved .

"The rules were that everyone who stays on the platform gets to go to the frontlines . As such, there is no need to fight at all; if everyone just stays in position, we can all go .

"Thing is, those two experts said it so nicely, and now everyone thinks that it is better to fight for a spot, when in fact, it is not needed at all . "

Lan smiled when he heard Xue Wei’s words . He was not surprised because the thought had long since passed by his mind, but everyone who was fighting against his friends stopped in their tracks, shocked by what he said .

Unfortunately, Xue Wei’s friends did not soften their blows, and soon the perplexed experts were sent off the platform, feeling deeply regretful .

If they had just found a corner and stood there casually, would they have been able to go to the battlefield?

Now they had provoked Xue Wei and his friends and had been thrown off the platform; they would not have another chance at going to the frontlines before the next selection .

Soon the battles came to a close, and the incense sticks burned down . Out of the fifty thousand people who had initially been on top of the platform, there were now only around two thousand left . Some of them were grievously injured, while others were without a scratch .

But no matter how injured they were, they were all, in the end, approved two days of rest before they would make it towards the battlefield .

Looking at the people, Xue Wei noticed quite a few of the people as the ones who had bought his rainbow pills . He also saw the Chi Branch member and his group .

The happy-go-lucky person from before suddenly stood up, and he waved his hand . "Those who have been selected will have to gather on the field in two days, after which a captain will come and bring you to the frontlines . "

After saying this, the two men vanished . The people who had been thrown off the platform slowly began to pick up themselves and also left . Even the spectators left .

Xue Wei and his friends returned to the courtyard . Here, they gathered in the living room and looked at the various items they had crafted over the last month .

"Let us apply for leave and go to the stores in town . We need to get some items used for formations; we also need to get our hands on some common resources, so that if we run out of pills, we can refine more . ”

As they arrived at the front gates of the Army Camp, they found out that there were many who shared their thoughts of wanting to buy the final supplies needed before going to the frontlines, and there was a long waiting queue for leave requests .

Fortunately, it was easy to get leave, but they needed to wait for it to be their turn . Thankfully this was a world of cultivators, so the shops were open all day and night, there was no difference for when their turn arrived .

After waiting for around a few hours, they finally exited the gates of the army camp and hurried to the city . They did not have a lot of time to spare .
