The first thousand and twenty chapters: the cost of war
"The content of the mission was told by Elder Xiong." Lin Yun said.
"So that's it." The elder nodded suddenly.
The elder continued in a low tone: "Since you know that it is going to destroy the Shadow Gate, then I will not hide it from you. Originally, we are inevitable. We use such a large group of powerful people and carry powerful magic tools. The weapon is to be foolproof."
"But..., the Shadow Gate seems to have received the news and made arrangements in advance. The most important thing is that there is a Demon King dormant in the Shadow Gate. The strength of the Demon King is extremely terrifying. After it appeared, together with the people of the Shadow Gate Offensive, the Vice-Hall Masters couldn’t resist at all, and suffered heavy casualties!"
"Demon... Demon King?" Lin Yun was shocked.
Lin Yun had heard before that monsters raged in the ancient times. The ruler of the monster race was the monster emperor. The demon emperor had the most terrifying strength, followed by the demon king!
How strong a Demon King is, it goes without saying.
At that time, the Demon King was almost beheaded to death, but there were also a few of them, but they were only suppressed, not beheaded, because at that time, the strong humans were also killed and injured, and they were unable to beheaded again. The suppression was already the maximum. .
The Grand Elder continued: "This resurrected Demon King is no longer capable of keeping up with the ancient times. Even so, it is extremely powerful. Elder Xiong died in the hands of the Demon King, and the Deputy Hall Master desperately blew himself up, and finally seriously injured the Demon King. Let the remaining people withdraw smoothly."
"Damn it! Damn it!"
After Lin Yun listened to the elder's narration, endless anger was already burning in his dark eyes.
"This time, although the Shadow Gate has suffered losses, the overall strength has been preserved, and the Demon King is in charge. It is extremely difficult to destroy the Shadow Gate in the future." The elder shook his head repeatedly.
The grand elder continued solemnly: "The situation is more serious than we thought. A total of 3 demon kings were left in the ancient times. If all the three demon kings are awakened, plus all other monsters appear. , This world is really going to be messed up!"
Lin Yun could see the seriousness of the matter from the look of the great elder.
"Even if the strength of the monster beast of the level of the Demon King is not as strong as that of the ancient times after recovery, only our Palace Master can compete with it." The Great Elder said.
"Elder, this time, our temple has suffered such a heavy loss, can it be... just forget it?" Lin Yun gritted his teeth and was extremely unwilling.
"Lin Yun, you still underestimated the seriousness of the matter. Fighting with monsters and beasts will cause heavy losses. As the strongest cultivating force in this world, we shoulder the responsibility. The sacrifice is inevitable. The disaster is coming. Maybe it's me who sacrificed, or it's you, no one can stay out, do you understand?" the elder said seriously.
"I...understand!" Lin Yun nodded.
A monk is like a warrior, a warrior. When the battle comes, there will be sacrifices!
This is the price of war!
There will be countless sacrifices in a war with the Yaozu, which is inevitable.
"I think, you won't be afraid?" The elder looked at Lin Yun.
"Of course not! The earth is our homeland, some monsters destroy our homeland, and want to enslave mankind, I, Lin Yun, will never fall down until the last drop of blood is drained!" Lin Yun said firmly.
"Very well, I like your bloody look! You are a good seedling, the evil of monsters and beasts, in a short time, you will not completely erupt, take this time, you will practice hard, and then you will be too A backbone." The Great Elder said.
"Yeah!" Lin Yun gritted his teeth and nodded, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
"Remember, if one day, the evil of monsters and beasts completely erupt, it will not be a few people who will be sacrificed at that time. The world will wipe out the lives of people, and the number of human deaths will be calculated in 100 million units!"
Lin Yun didn't want to see that day in his heart.
However, this is not something Lin Yun can control.
"By the way, the Great Elder, will the Demon Emperor be resurrected?" Lin Yun couldn't help asking.
The Demon King is so difficult to deal with. If the Demon King is resurrected, the consequences will be disastrous!
"You can rest assured that the Demon Emperor is suppressed in my holy temple, and we will guard it strictly to resurrect the Demon Emperor. It can be said to be as difficult as heaven!" said the elder.
Lin Yun barely felt a little comfort when he heard this.
"I heard that Hong Ling is breaking down now. You have a good relationship with him. If you can, please comfort him." The elder said.
The deputy hall master is Hong Ling's father, and she must be very painful for her father's sacrifice.
"Good." Lin Yun nodded.
Although Lin Yun felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, Lin Yun was a man after all, and he could stand strong.
"Go, I want to go in too, and discuss important matters with everyone." The elder waved his hand.
Lin Yun bid farewell.
Walking on the square, Lin Yun's heart was suffering from colic.
The kind smile of Elder Xiong and the bold smile of Big Brother Lei Zhen, coincidentally appeared in Lin Yun's mind...
The voice of their words before leaving seemed to be echoing in Lin Yun's ears.
But now, yin and yang are separated.
"Elder Xiong, you said you would come back to see me for the game, and I said I would stand up for you!" Lin Yun's nose was sour, his eyes moistened.
This time, Lin Yun understood the cruelty of fighting against monsters.
At this moment, Lin Yun was finally able to realize the cruelty of the monster cholera in ancient times.
Moreover, failing to destroy the Shadow Gate this time means that the evil of the monsters will definitely break out in the future!
"To be stronger!"
Lin Yun made up his mind to make himself as strong as possible before the monster's calamity broke out.
Only in this way can you protect the people around you!
"Demon Race, I want you all to be exterminated!" Lin Yun shot out endless killing intent in his eyes.
After this incident, Lin Yun's hatred of the monster race was full.
...
The news of the mission's failure quickly spread in the temple.
Now that the mission has been completed, there is no need to keep it secret, the temple has disclosed the content of this mission.
Everyone knew that this mission was related to monsters.
As for those who sacrificed, the Vice-Hall Master, Elder Xiong, a protector, three deacons, and five disciples!
Disclosing this mission can be regarded as an inspiration for everyone, letting everyone understand how big the crisis is in the future, and encouraging everyone to practice hard.
Hong Ling's residence.
As a saint of the temple, Hong Ling will inherit the temple in the future. Of course, his residence is different from ordinary disciples.
Lin Yun came to Hong Ling's residence.
At this moment, Hong Ling was sitting at the table with red eyes, apparently just crying.
Lin Yun walked up to her, she didn't even know it.
"Senior Sister Hong Ling." Lin Yun walked to Hong Ling.
Hong Ling suddenly woke up after hearing Lin Yun's voice.
"Lin Yun!"
After Hong Ling saw Lin Yun, she threw herself into Lin Yun's arms.
"Oh!"
The red silk in her arms finally couldn't help crying, crying heartbroken.
