As the master of Thunder Manor roared, the members of Thunder Manor surged forward, ready to engage in battle.
“I, Guang Tiancheng of the Heavenly Fire Temple in the Northern Flame Region, have come today to annihilate your Thunder Manor!” Guang Tiancheng’s voice boomed like thunder.
“What? The Heavenly Fire Temple?” The faces of Thunder Manor’s members paled instantly.
The master of Thunder Manor swiftly produced a jade slip and crushed it, clearly sending a distress signal.
The massive barrier enveloping Thunder Manor trembled under countless attacks, on the verge of collapse.
In the next moment.
The quivering barrier was suddenly covered in countless cracks, then shattered with a resounding boom.
“Charge!”
Guang Tiancheng, Shu Zhen, and the commander of the Heavenly Ghost Army showed no hesitation, leading the charge downward.
All the death warriors from the three death warrior teams also rushed downward to attack.
“Thunder Manor, to battle!”
The master of Thunder Manor roared hysterically, brandishing his weapon to meet Guang Tiancheng and the others head-on.
Boom, boom, boom!
Fierce combat erupted instantly, spreading throughout Thunder Manor.
Thunder Manor had at least a hundred thousand members, a large number, but their strength varied widely, with many possessing low combat ability.
In terms of quality, how could they compare to these three thousand death warriors?
As soon as the battle broke out, Thunder Manor was at a severe disadvantage, with numerous members being struck down.
Of course, Thunder Manor also had a significant number of Saint Realm fighters, and the death warriors of the Heavenly Fire Temple also suffered casualties.
Lin Yun followed his team, charging onto the plaza of Thunder Manor.
Lin Yun did not know why the Heavenly Fire Temple sought to destroy Thunder Manor.
Such an act of launching an attack without knowing the situation clearly went against Lin Yun’s principles.
In other words, Lin Yun’s conscience could not accept such actions.
Lin Yun was already deep in the battlefield, but he could not bring himself to kill without knowing the reason. As a death warrior, the only solution he could think of was to slack off.
At that moment, Lin Yun found a Saint Realm fighter and engaged him in combat.
With Lin Yun’s strength, killing him would take only one move, but Lin Yun suppressed his power, continuously sparring with him.
This way, Lin Yun participated in the battle without violating his conscience by killing.
As for the slaughter carried out by the other death warriors, Lin Yun was powerless to stop it. Even if he had not joined the Heavenly Fire Temple, even if he were not here, this battle would still have happened, and the Heavenly Fire Temple would still have aimed to destroy Thunder Manor.
Lin Yun could not change that, so he could only ensure he did not act against his conscience.
The other death warriors were busy killing and earning battle merit points, so naturally, no one paid attention to Lin Yun.
Mo Bai was also fighting fiercely in the battlefield. Thanks to Lin Yun’s support with Bright Moon Crystals, Mo Bai had already reached the Heavenly Saint Realm.
While fighting, Lin Yun kept an eye on Mo Bai, ready to assist if Mo Bai encountered danger. After all, the battlefield was chaotic, and even though the Heavenly Fire Temple had a significant advantage, the enemy still had some strong fighters.
So far, Lin Yun had not seen Mo Bai in danger.
On the contrary, Mo Bai was relentlessly cutting down Thunder Manor members.
After Mo Bai killed another, he severed the opponent’s head, then quickly approached Lin Yun. He launched a fierce attack on the Initial Saint Realm fighter Lin Yun was engaging.
Pfft!
Attacking from behind, Mo Bai killed the Initial Saint Realm fighter with a single sword strike.
This made Lin Yun frown.
Just as Lin Yun was about to speak, Mo Bai spoke first, “Lin Yun, with your strength, killing a mere Initial Saint Realm fighter should be effortless. Why are you suppressing your strength and wasting time with him? This is a prime opportunity to earn battle merit points!”
Mo Bai seemed puzzled.
“Brother Mo Bai, we don’t know why the Heavenly Fire Temple is attacking Thunder Manor, who is right or wrong, who is just or unjust. We know nothing.” Lin Yun said earnestly.
Mo Bai immediately understood Lin Yun’s meaning.
“Lin Yun, we are now death warriors of the Heavenly Fire Temple. Does it matter who is right or wrong, who is just or unjust? We have no choice! Doing this, you might get away with it once or twice, but if you keep this up, it will surely give others a reason to target you and bring you great trouble!” Mo Bai’s voice was loud.
“So, Brother Mo Bai, is that why you were so eagerly killing just now?” Lin Yun looked at him with a slight squint.
“Lin Yun, even if I don’t act, the other death warriors will still kill them. The outcome is the same. Since we can’t change the result, why not go with the flow and earn some battle merit? I also want to earn battle merit points to upgrade my weapon, to raise it to a Saint Artifact soon.” Mo Bai said earnestly.
Lin Yun shook his head, suddenly feeling an inexplicable resistance toward Mo Bai.
“Lin Yun, this world doesn’t have so much black and white, only the strong preying on the weak! Don’t be so stubborn, it will only harm you!”
After speaking, Mo Bai turned and took the head of the Initial Saint he had just killed.
Then, Mo Bai rushed back into the battlefield, charging toward Thunder Manor’s members.
Lin Yun shook his head. No matter what Mo Bai or anyone else said, Lin Yun could not go against his true heart.
“Hm?”
“Wu Shen?”
As Lin Yun scanned the scene, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
It was Wu Shen, a teammate Lin Yun had fought alongside in the Border Mountains.
Back then, after getting separated from his Heavenly Fire Temple teammates, Lin Yun teamed up with Wu Shen and fought together for half a year.
Though it was only half a year, Lin Yun and Wu Shen had become brothers-in-arms, sharing life and death. Lin Yun had a good impression of Wu Shen, who was a helpful person.
They parted ways when Lin Yun went to compete for the Blood Demon Flower.
At their parting, they had said they hoped to meet again someday.
Lin Yun still vividly remembered Wu Shen saying his parents gave him that name with high hopes.
Lin Yun never dreamed he would reunite with Wu Shen in such a scenario.
At that moment, Wu Shen was fighting two Heavenly Fire Lieutenants, surrounded and in a dire situation.
Without hesitation, Lin Yun rushed over.
“You two, go elsewhere. Leave this to me!” Lin Yun blocked the two Heavenly Fire Lieutenants.
The two lieutenants, under the command of the Cold Fiend Army, were displeased that Lin Yun interfered with their spoils, but since Lin Yun was the deputy commander of the Cold Fiend Army, they could only comply and retreat.
“Lin… Lin Yun!”
Wu Shen was stunned to see Lin Yun appear before him. Clearly, he never expected to meet Lin Yun in such circumstances.
He and Lin Yun had once been brothers-in-arms, sharing a deep bond forged through their camaraderie.
