You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 413 Qi Xing understands Liu Yuntian’s path.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence. Although no one spoke in response, everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Xing as if attracted by a magnet.

Those glances contained complex emotions, including confusion, dissatisfaction, and deep expectation.

Although their attitude was not stated explicitly, it was obvious that they wanted Qi Xing to come forward and give an explanation.

You have to know that the Tiandihui is now a powerful and influential force. But because of Qi Xing's wrong decision, they can only explore the few secret realms left after other forces have plundered them.

Although the casualties in this operation were indeed minimal and could be almost ignored, the economic losses caused were real and made them heartbroken.

If they really have to weigh the pros and cons, they would rather risk sacrificing more people than just watch a huge amount of rare treasures slip away from them!

At this moment, Qi Xing, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them. Two rays of light burst out from his eyes, and his sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone present.

He shouted in a deep voice: "What's the reason?!"

Then, he raised his voice and continued, "Five years have passed. Has the number of people in our Tiandihui decreased?!"

"Look at the other forces. Which one of them didn't suffer heavy casualties? Tens of thousands of monks died on the battlefield. And what about our Tiandihui? Although the harvest from the expedition was not rich, at least the brothers came back alive and well!"

"Isn't this enough?!"

"Not enough! Far from enough!"

There was a loud bang, and the man suddenly slammed the table and stood up like an enraged lion, his face full of anger, his eyes wide open, and he shouted in a deafening voice: "Don't you understand? The power and opportunities that those treasures can bring are enough to make our Tiandihui soar to the sky and become so powerful that it is unimaginable!"

"Growth comes at a price! Apparently, they are that price!"

"It's just a few brothers who died!"

Qi Xing looked at the other party in astonishment, unable to believe what he heard.

His lips trembled slightly as he repeated to himself, "It's just the death of a few brothers? Just such a light sentence?"

Then, as if he suddenly came to his senses, he turned his head and fixed his gaze on Wang Yi, loudly questioning: "May I ask, Great Leader, what was the original intention of our Tiandihui when it was first established?!"

For a moment, the whole room fell into deathly silence.

Wang Yi was choked by Qi Xing's direct and sharp questioning. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible big hand and he could not make any sound.

He first looked at Qi Xing in panic, then quickly glanced at the other people present, trying to get some support or hints from them.

However, faced with Qi Xing's aggressive gaze and the silence of the crowd, Wang Yi could only follow the crowd helplessly.

He stammered, "Well... I think... our Tiandihui needs to continue to grow and become stronger, so... so some sacrifices are inevitable..."

"What?!" Qi Xing was stunned as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

His eyes, which were originally filled with anger, were now wide open, as if his eyeballs were almost about to fall out.

His body staggered backwards involuntarily, and with just one step, he fell heavily onto the chair behind him.

Qi Xing was seen breathing heavily, veins bulging on his forehead, and cold sweat flowing down his cheeks.

He swallowed hard, a dry sound coming from his throat.

At this moment, his pupils were shaking constantly because of extreme shock, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone present.

Suddenly, he felt that these once familiar faces in front of him became so strange, as if he had never really known them.

They were completely bewitched by the intoxicating benefits, and their eyes were completely blinded by money and desire, so much so that they had long forgotten the original intention of establishing the Tiandihui.

Looking back to those days, he and Wang Yi, full of passion, worked together to establish the Tiandihui. Their purpose was simple, but simply to help those brothers at the bottom of society to get out of their plight and live a slightly better life.

However, what he never expected was that as time went by, when these people gradually gained power, they actually raised their butcher knives without hesitation and pointed the blades mercilessly at their former companions who had fought side by side with them.

Whenever he recalled the words Liu Yuntian had said to him, his eyes would become increasingly dim.

I only remember that at that time, Liu Yuntian said solemnly:

“It is almost inevitable that the lower classes will harm each other, because power has a magical and terrible power that can easily change the nature of anyone.”

"Especially those at the bottom of society, once they are lucky enough to gain power, they will often become more aggressive and cruel in persecuting other compatriots at the bottom of society."

"If you really want to make a change, you must not allow anyone to have a louder voice than you!"

"If irreconcilable differences really arise, then the only feasible solution is to decisively take back the power in their hands. Only in this way can we minimize the losses!"

For a long time, he stubbornly believed that Liu Yuntian was treacherous, forgot the friendship they had shared through thick and thin, and resolutely abandoned the Qi family.

But it was not until this moment, after experiencing so many ups and downs, that he finally realized, as if awakened from a dream, the deep meaning behind Liu Yuntian's actions at that time.

yes……

If the Qi family is still standing, the Liang Kingdom will not only find it difficult to become the most powerful force in the Qiyang Continent, but will even feel ashamed and inferior when facing the Holy Land.

Whenever he thought of this, Qi Xing couldn't help but sneer: "Back then, the reason why we founded the Tiandihui was to resist the class oppression imposed by the Holy Land and the major sects!"

Having said this, he slowly swept his eyes over everyone present, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notches: "But now? Look at what we have become! We have actually become the sects and holy places that we once hated so much!"
