Chapter 685: Heart of Awe
With the heads of Wu Chengfeng and his fellow disciples falling to the ground, the remaining three of the three major forces of Tianqing Sect all died.
At this time, the entire battlefield finally returned to calm for the first time.
As for the powerful men in the Golden Core stage led by Liang Shaoguang, they all started to get excited as they stared at the dead body of Wu Chengfeng.
Especially the Liang family, after this massive and extremely miserable war, they have finally overcome the disaster.
In order to achieve this goal, the experience of everyone present was not easy.
After all, this war has spanned more than four years since it began.
During such a long period of time, many strong men in the Liang family camp also experienced more than ten fierce battles, large and small.
Every battle sounds dangerous, and the process is also very intense.
For this reason, many fellow Taoists of the same level were injured, and many living fellow Taoists of the same level died in the war.
Perhaps because after the excitement calmed down, the expressions of Liang Shaorong and other members of the Liang family gradually changed, from the original ecstasy to the later sadness.
Not only the Liang family, but also three of the eight people from the Yang family who came to support this time died in these battles, and almost half a centaur was lost.
Monks like them who come from families have a certain blood relationship with the fallen people.
No matter how bad things are, they still have a deep friendship with each other.
If you really want to say that you don't care about these things, I'm afraid only the death of those casual cultivators will make no one feel regretful and indignant.
Because of this, after calming down, the mentality of the Liang and Yang families changed greatly.
Lin Tianming saw these situations and understood the feelings of the Liang and Yang families.
However, in his opinion, the Liang family's original situation was extremely difficult, and the crisis they faced at one time was almost overturning.
After several recent battles, the Liang family has gradually regained its disadvantage.
And in this battle, except for Yuan Chen Sect, all the troops from the other three major forces participating in this battle were killed.
Including Yuan Chen Sect, there were nearly ten Golden Core Stage monks who died here. Almost all of those who finally escaped here were injured, and many of them suffered serious injuries.
Based on the situation that the Liang family faced at the beginning, and comparing the current results, it is no exaggeration to say that the Liang family won the entire war.
This kind of victory is basically a hearty victory.
More importantly, the price the Liang family paid to win this victory was actually very low.
At least under the same circumstances, if it is just an ordinary Jindan family, facing the same strength gap, let alone whether it can win, it will be difficult to just survive a crisis. .
Not to mention someone like the Liang family, who directly defeated the offensive of the four major forces at a not-so-big cost.
In fact, all the members of the three major forces, Tianqing Sect, Xie Family, and Li Family, were killed, and no one escaped alive.
Among the only people from the Yuanchen Sect who escaped, more than half of all the men and horses who participated in the battle were directly damaged, and those who were alive were all injured.
A huge victory like this is honestly not unspectacular.
At least when the Liang family war began, Liang Shaorong did not expect that the danger of the Liang family's overthrow, which he thought at the beginning, would actually be resolved in this way.
Moreover, in fact, in the past few years, the Liang family camp has only paid the price of more than ten Jindan stage combat power in the war.
Among them, there are also several people who were attacked and besieged to death by the four major forces from the beginning.
Excluding those who fell in sneak attacks, as well as the golden elixirs who fell in the first few rounds of wars, there are only eight people in the world who have lost their lives in the last three wars of the Liang family.
Such a price is actually not that big compared to the threat the Liang family faced in the first place.
And the combat power of these dozen golden elixirs who have fallen is only the total number of people who have fallen from several forces in the Liang family camp.
On the other hand, among the four major forces, in the past four years alone, the accumulated combat power of fallen Jindan has exceeded 30.
Looking at it this way, if we compare the losses of the Liang family, the four major forces have suffered a complete defeat.
Moreover, the price paid after such a fiasco is too high.
Just like Tianqing Sect, this powerful sect ranked third in Jinfeng Kingdom in terms of overall strength. It also has a very profound foundation. The number of Jindan monks within the sect remains at more than a dozen all year round.
Even when Tian Qing Sect was at its peak, it once had more than twenty Golden Elixir monks.
Even though the Tian Qing Sect's strength has declined in the past few hundred years, there are still more than a dozen people who have shown their strength in the Golden Core.
However, after this battle, more than half of the Tianqing Sect's Jindan combat power died in this battle.
Not only that, the Jindan combat power of the Tianqing Sect who died here are basically the ones with the highest cultivation strength in the sect.
For example, Yang Yinghai and Wu Chengfeng, two sects as powerful as Dinghai Shenzhen, died in the war one after another.
Under such circumstances, if the overall strength is calculated, the strength of the entire Tianqing Sect has dropped by at least 70%.
Such a loss can be regarded as a complete disaster for the country in the center of Qingzhou.
And next, even if the Liang family does not retaliate against the Tianqing Sect, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Tianqing Sect to gain a foothold in the Jinfeng Kingdom.
If it is even possible, it is very likely that the Tianqing Sect will be destroyed by their former enemies.
After all, the Tianqing Sect has been inherited for such a long time. During this period, it has been both high-profile and domineering. It is unknown how many murders, goods, goods and forced sales have been committed, and it is unknown how many life-and-death enemies it has made.
Now that Tian Qingzong has suffered a heavy blow and its overall strength has dropped by more than half, it is the best time for the enemy to seek revenge.
At this juncture, as long as several powerful enemies join forces, it is not that difficult to destroy the Tianqing Sect.
No matter what happens, the Tianqing Sect can be severely damaged again, continue to weaken the strength of the Tianqing Sect, and knock it from the top golden elixir power to the ordinary golden elixir power.
Moreover, in the eyes of the powerful Jindan forces around, the current Tianqing Sect is definitely a piece of fat that cannot be fatter.
If a certain golden elixir force, which is not much weaker than the Tianqing Sect at its peak, targets them at this time, and wants to take advantage of them, it will be difficult for the current Tianqing Sect to survive on its own strength.
Under such circumstances, the Tianqing Sect is now almost on the verge of destruction.
Not only the Tianqing Sect, but also the other Xie family and Li family were in no better situation than the Tianqing Sect at this time.
After all, Xie Changyang, a late-stage golden elixir monk from the Xie family, is dead, and Li Wenhai from the Li family has also fallen.
In addition, the two families also lost more than half of their golden elixir combat power on the battlefield of the Liang family.
Now the overall strength of the Xie and Li families has suffered unprecedented losses.
It is foreseeable that the Xie and Li families will also face the same situation as Tianqing Sect. The Liang family has just ended the war. After more than four years of hard work and several fierce battles, almost every monk in the Liang family camp is exhausted.
It seems that the Liang family is actually unable to continue fighting in a short period of time.
However, judging from the Liang family's historical style of conduct and its current strength, it is only a matter of time before they seek revenge from the four major forces.
At the very least, once the Liang family regains their breath, they will definitely go to the mountain gate of the four major forces.
If they can be destroyed, the Liang family will never show mercy.
Anyone with a discerning eye can easily see why.
In fact, both Liang Shaorong and Liang Shaoguang thought so.
Especially when they saw the bodies of the Liang family members that were still cold, and the miserable battle scene outside the Liang family mountain gate, their hearts were filled with rage.
Even the excitement of surviving the disaster by luck was overshadowed by hatred at this moment.
Just like that, no matter how long it took, Liang Shaoguang was the first to recover from his grief and anger.
Soon, Liang Shaorong's eyes also softened a little, and his whole person gradually returned to normal.
There was still a certain anger in their eyes.
At this time, Liang Shaorong looked at the battlefield, then at the foreign aid forces present, and finally focused on Lin Tianming and others.
At this moment, Liang Shaorong cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and first bowed sincerely to Lin Tianming.
Afterwards, Liang Shaorong's attitude was very respectful and he said in a very sincere tone: "With the blessings of the Liang family's ancestors and martyrs, the Liang family has successfully passed this catastrophe. I also want to thank you Daoist Lin for killing everyone at the critical moment. He shed his blood to help the Liang family survive the calamity.”
"Now that the war is over, on behalf of the more than 10,000 people from the Liang family who have gone up and down the mountain, I would like to express my gratitude to fellow Taoist Lin for saving his life."
Liang Shaorong bowed sincerely to Lin Tianming, and the Liang family members behind him also clasped their fists and bowed. He bowed and his attitude was very sincere.
Not only the Jindan Stage clan members, but also the entire Liang Family clan watching the battle, whether they were in the Foundation Building Stage or the Qi Refining Stage clansmen, all bowed to worship on the spot. Conveying gratitude to Lin Tianming for the protection of the mountain guard.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming did not pretend to refuse Liang Shaorong’s intention to pay homage.
In his opinion, if it were not for his presence in this battle, the Liang family would have at least an 80% chance of being defeated.
Moreover, even without several members of the Lin family, even if the Liang family can survive the disaster, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, causing the overall strength to drop by more than half.
So, he can say without exaggeration that the Lin family is completely grateful to the Liang family for rebuilding.
With this huge kindness, he deserves the worship of more than 10,000 members of the Liang family.
In this way, Lin Tianming did not reject it out of pretentiousness, but he was not overly arrogant either.
So, after Lin Tianming nodded, he still took the initiative to clasp his fists and return the salute, which was regarded as accepting the awe of the Liang family and conveying the Lin family's friendship.
Including Qin Xi and Lin Tianhu behind him, they all followed Lin Tianming and returned the salute at this time.
After doing this, Lin Tianming and several members of the Lin family waited quietly aside.
At this moment, Liang Shaorong also came back from his awe.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Shaorong continued to clasp his fists and express his gratitude to other allies of the Liang family.
Although Liang Shaorong's attitude was still easy-going and his tone was sincere at this time.
But compared to the respectful attitude towards Lin Tianming just now, the difference is huge.
In this regard, neither the monks of the Yang family nor the casual cultivators invited by the Liang family dared to have any objections to the difference in Liang Shaorong's attitude.
Although a very small number of people may have certain thoughts in their hearts, they only dare to think about it in their hearts and do not dare to express it.
It’s normal to think about it. After all, regardless of the difference in strength, Lin Tianming’s contribution in these rounds of battles deserves to be treated differently by Liang Shaorong.
What's more, Lin Tianming's strength is the best in the field.
Under the strong strength, even Song Xin, the most powerful fake infant monk before, was killed by Lin Tianming.
Moreover, Lin Tianming's endless methods and the process of killing several powerful monks such as Yang Yinghai and Song Xin are still echoing in the minds of these people.
Based on these memories, whether it was the monks of the Liang family or the allies of the Yang family, when they looked at Lin Tianming again, they could not help but feel terrified in their hearts.
At the same time, these people's fear and awe of Lin Tianming reached an unprecedented new height.
Fortunately, although Lin Tianming is powerful, his methods are also extremely ruthless and strange.
However, Lin Tianming acted openly and aboveboard, and was sincere and easy-going towards others. He was obviously a decent person.
The most important thing is that none of them have any grudge against Lin Tianming or the Lin family.
Under such circumstances, the monks present did not need to be overly afraid of Lin Tianming.
Time passed in a short while.
After Liang Shaorong expressed his heartfelt gratitude, the atmosphere on the court finally relaxed a lot.
At the same time, the original grief and anger of the Liang family members gradually faded away as time went by.
At this time, Liang Shaorong looked at everyone present, and then said: "Fellow Taoists, we have just ended a tragic battle. Now everyone is in very poor condition, and even many Taoists He was seriously injured.”
“Next, let’s go back. It’s better to clear the battlefield as soon as possible.”
“After that, all fellow Taoists should return to the cave to recuperate for a while. Don’t let your injuries cause you to fall into the realm or suffer any hidden diseases. ”
Liang Shaorong’s words were superficially meant to clean up the battlefield.
What it actually means is that under the witness of everyone, the trophies obtained by joining forces to kill the opponent are collected.
In this way, there will be no conspiracy or disagreement in the subsequent distribution of benefits.
As for the trivial matter of cleaning the battlefield, there is no need to trouble the powerful Jindan monks like them, it can be done by the lower-level clansmen of the Liang family.
Although he talked about this matter in a cryptic manner, everyone present naturally understood the profound meaning and would not have any objections to it.
As a result, Lin Tianming took the lead in nodding, expressing that he very much recognized Liang Shaorong's arrangement.
