Chapter 196: Decision to Join the Evil Beings

The young man in front of them was different from them. He had personally joined the fight and fought against the evil beings!

Many people were shocked; the surprise showed on their faces, and their expressions changed.

There were also people who had doubts. After all, everyone knew how cruel evil beings were.

Killing so many evil beings was simply unimaginable! How could an ordinary young man do it?

However, the young man’s weapons and clothes were indeed stained with the filthy blood of evil beings. They didn’t seem to have been faked.

This was a vicious man!

The people fell silent.

Link looked at the speechless people and said solemnly, “Don’t let the heroes shed blood and tears as well!”

With those words, Link stopped talking. He just stood silently, tall and straight like a spear.

The words reverberated through the air, stately and dignified. It deafened and shook the hearts of all the people.

Many people bowed their heads in shame with guilty expressions on their faces.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and many people responded.

“Yes! The city guards shed blood to protect us, and many even lost their lives. How can we let them cry?”

“We can’t let the heroes cry; the city guards shouldn’t have to go out!”

“Yes, we were wrong before, and we blamed the heroes who have given so much...”

“Heroes are the most qualified to stay in the defensive formation. What right do we have to make them leave?”

...

Voices of reason started speaking up in the psychological network. They apologized and supported the city guard soldiers.

Smiles reappeared on the bitter city guards’ faces. At the same time, they all looked at Link—who had spoken up for them—gratefully.

Regus was also looking at Link, his eyes full of gratitude. “Thank you.”

Link shook his head slightly. “This is what I should do. Let’s deal with the pollution and aberration as soon as possible.”

Regus nodded and said nothing more. He was a vigorous and resolute fighter, and he knew that kindness should be remembered and not harped on.

Aisha was standing beside Link at this time. There was an unnatural glow in her beautiful eyes as she gazed at Link. Her petite face couldn’t help but be admiring, and her smile gradually became silly...

Orders were soon issued, and Regus asked the soldiers to settle the wounded.

In addition, soldiers who were showing signs of pollution would be strictly guarded to prevent dangerous situations from arising.

At this time, the situation was still not optimistic, but there was a little more harmony as the warmth of mutual understanding bloomed within the light curtain.

“You did well.” A kind voice suddenly sounded in Link’s mind.

Link was momentarily taken aback. He turned to look toward the temple; that was the voice of the great sage.

Were the sages watching what happened in silence? Just as Link was thinking, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the temple. It sounded as if a fight had taken place!

The people and the city guards cast their eyes on the temple, their faces full of disbelief and surprise.

There were two sages and the high priest in the temple. How could there be a fight?

Boom!

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the top of the temple suddenly began to shatter. Broken stones flew everywhere, and the brilliance of magic flared.

With terrifying force, a figure rushed out of the temple. He stood proudly in the void as circles of dark-blue magic ripples spread out from him.

“It’s the Lanzhi Sage! How can a fight break out in the temple? Has an evil being invaded the temple?” someone exclaimed.

Soon, a few more figures came out of the shattered temple. They were the great sage, the high priest, and several high-level guards.

The high priest and the great sage rose up into the sky. They faced off the Lanzhi Sage with them on one side and him on the other!

“What happened?”

“What on earth happened?” Many people were shocked. They were aware of the tension between the three powerhouses.

It seemed that the earlier commotion was due to the three powerhouses attacking.

The Lanzhi Sage stood proudly in the sky, looking down at the crowd. His deep gaze lingered on Link, somewhat angry and hostile.

Link was a little baffled.

Aisha also noticed the gaze. Confused, she asked, “What’s wrong with the Lanzhi Sage?”

Many people were at a loss and couldn’t figure out what was happening.

The Lanzhi Sage in the void suddenly spoke. His voice was extremely powerful, reverberating in everyone’s mind. “Everyone, our Holy City has fallen, and it has been abandoned by the gods. We have no future...”

His words seemed to have a certain magical power that aroused everyone’s emotions.

Everyone’s mind whirled nonstop. Scene after scene of misery appeared in their mind. A wave of despair and sorrow spread uncontrollably.

“But for the continuation of the group, I will make a sacrifice. I’m willing to bear all the sins and punishments for the survival of the group!”

As the Lanzhi Sage spoke, the blue magic halo surging around his body quickly turned gray. It even seemed weird and evil.

His body was also undergoing abnormal changes at this moment. His face was distorted, and there were protruding fangs and bulging eyes!

One arm even turned into a thick tentacle. Most of his body appeared to be bulging as if something was squirming under the skin!

This was an aberration—he was degenerating into an evil being!

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically; their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Boom!

It was an unexpected turn of events. It crashed on everyone’s head like thunder, leaving their heads blank. All they could hear was the buzzing in their ears!

Their heads buzzed!

If it weren’t because they knew who the Lanzhi Sage was, everyone would’ve thought that the thing appearing in front of them was a powerful evil being!

A holy-rank existence, the race’s guardian and top powerhouse—Lanzhi Sage—had aberrated!

At this moment, everyone suddenly understood what the sacrifice the Lanzhi Sage was talking about was!

He was willing to fall—to aberrate and become one of the evil beings. By doing so, he would become one of the evil beings in exchange for the right to survive.

Everyone’s expressions became extremely complicated. They felt as if their minds had been hit by a hurricane, which caused turbulent waves and raging storms.

And Lanzhi Sage was still speaking, not caring if anyone was listening. “Those who are willing to follow me and live on while carrying the burden of sin and punishment, stand up! This is our hope for life and hope. Your life and death depend on your own choice!”

With those words, the Lanzhi Sage—who had aberrated into an evil being—suddenly smiled. His smile was extremely hideous and terrifying.

At the same time, the great sage’s majestic and steady voice sounded in everyone’s mind. “It’s a pity that the Lanzhi Sage has also been aberrated. However, falling from grace and becoming one of the evil beings is not salvation—it is the way to the abyss. You will lose everything and become part of the madness. My people, I hope you will not make the wrong decision.”

The voice of the great sage reverberated in everyone’s mind, eliminating all the negative effects brought about by the Lanzhi Sage’s words just now.

Everyone came back to their senses one after another, and there were two roads before them. Life and death, persistence and madness...
