Chapter 873 Sudden Change
"Stop! No more killing, I'll release Chu Lee now!" At that moment, the Holy Mother raised her voice in anger once again.
Whoosh!
As she spoke, the Holy Mother flung her arm, tossing Chu Lee out of her grasp.
"Heh heh, who would have thought, the Holy Mother actually has such compassion for these people. It makes sense, after all, they are your sons—personally raised by the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor. It's normal for you to feel distressed..." On the other side, Langya Saint Lord lifted his head, chuckled coldly, and said.
"So, are you leaving now, or not?" After a pause, Langya Saint Lord spoke indifferently.
"I…" The Holy Mother was about to speak but was interrupted by Lin Yun.
"Holy Mother, no more words, we must leave the Immortal Origin World immediately!" Lin Yun said coldly, unusually calm at that moment.
He had many flaws in his character, but there was one merit; once he made a decision, he would not hesitate any longer. Before deciding to leave, he could have been full of doubts, even considering the idea of dying in battle alongside the True Martial Saint Lord.
However, once he decided to take the Holy Mother and leave, it would not be easy to make him turn back.
Perhaps his decision was related to the instructions he had given to Xia Qingqing and the others to take many of the Earth's elite humans away, or perhaps it was related to the fact that the cultivators of the Immortal Origin World slain by the Langya Saint Lord didn't hold a particularly significant connection to him.
Previously, the higher-ups of the Immortal Origin World watched indifferently as they fought against Langya Saint Lord and his people; no matter how he, the True Martial Saint Lord, or the Holy Mother commanded, they would not intervene.
This broke his last thread of attachment to these people.
He understood their choices, but that did not mean he forgave them.
If those people had followed the commands of him, the True Martial Saint Lord, and the Holy Mother earlier, they wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.
Everyone must pay the price for their choices.
If possible, he wouldn't mind saving these people, but he wouldn't sacrifice his life for theirs.
Currently, it was quite clear that if he and the Holy Mother stayed, there was a very high chance they would be killed by Langya Saint Lord and his people. He had a feeling that the True Martial Saint Lord was on the brink of collapse, ready to give in at any moment.
Therefore, the idea of staying here and fighting alongside the True Martial Saint Lord against Langya Saint Lord and his followers was simply unfeasible.
If they died here, their deaths would be in vain, no matter how many more Langya Saint Lord killed; their deaths would serve no purpose, and nobody would avenge them.
"Lin Yun, you?" The Holy Mother was taken aback.
"Lin Yun! Are you sure about this? You are my main target this time! If you stay, I can spare everyone else once I have killed you! Conversely, if you dare to leave now, they are all as good as dead!" Langya Saint Lord was also slightly startled, and then he spoke continuously.
He was well-informed about various details concerning Lin Yun and saw that Lin Yun had done many thankless tasks, much like the "good guys" he had encountered before.
Additionally, given Lin Yun's youth, such young people are most likely to act impulsively.
On the other hand, the Holy Mother, a divine being who had lived for thousands of years, had seen everything, and he wasn't sure he could persuade her to stay.
Just now, when he saw the Holy Mother's reaction, he became even more convinced of the feasibility of his plan, but he hadn't anticipated a problem arising with Lin Yun.
"If Lin Yun is slain by the Langya Saint Lord, he can spare everyone else!"
Initially, the cultivators of the Immortal Origin World who saw Langya Saint Lord's massacre were filled with anger and despair. Hearing Langya Saint Lord's words, many couldn't help but have their eyes light up with hope; no one wanted to die, including them!
At that moment, they saw hope!
"Saint Lord, please save us!"
"Saint Lord, save us!"
One after another, the cultivators of the Immortal Origin World looked in the direction of Lin Yun and the Holy Mother, excitedly and even begging.
Lin Yun looked on coldly at this scene.
They want him to stay?
Didn't these people hear what Langya Saint Lord just said? Didn't they know what would happen if he stayed?
If he stayed, he would likely die.
His death for their lives?
"Holy Mother, let's go!" Lin Yun looked up at the Holy Mother and said flatly.
Whoosh!
As he spoke, he released a powerful force that wrapped around the Holy Mother, and he turned to fly towards the outskirts of the Immortal Origin Holy Land once more.
"Still want to leave? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to continue killing?" The eyes of the Langya Saint Lord turned cold as he spoke.
Boom!
As he spoke, he once again drew on the power of the void and sent sword slashes raining down on various spaces in the Immortal Origin World.
"Ah!"
"No!"
"Saint Lord, save us!"
Countless spaces collapsed again, and thousands of Immortal Origin World cultivators fell, not one of them capable of withstanding a strike from the Langya Saint Lord.
"You all better watch closely, this is the Saint Lord you acknowledge, the new Lord of Immortal Origin promoted by True Martial, a selfish villain, a coward who only knows how to run!" As he continued his onslaught, the Langya Saint Lord mocked coldly.
He was using his words to provoke Lin Yun, hoping to induce Lin Yun to stay because of anger.
Meanwhile, more and more people from the various strata of the Immortal Origin World began begging Lin Yun to stay.
However, Lin Yun ignored these pleas entirely.
In the meantime, True Martial Saint Lord also sent him a message, telling Lin Yun to leave with the Holy Mother as quickly as possible. He understood the gravity of the situation, and he too was quite disappointed with the behavior of many cultivators in the Immortal Origin World.
