Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 12887 Coward
The eyes of the Grand Master flashed with determination and resoluteness. He was not stupid. He was gambling that the terrifying existence behind Ling Xiao would be able to help. He believed that as long as the Tianxia would unite as one, coupled with Qiu Shuikui's strength, they would be able to survive this crisis.

"Master, do you really want to listen to these lunatics?" Ou Luan's voice was filled with helplessness and disappointment. He shook his head gently, as if lamenting the absurdity of the situation.

He spoke calmly, his voice was soft but loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly: "If that's the case, then I'll have to take my people and leave Tianxiahui."

Tianxia Buer couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He looked at Ou Luan deeply, his heart full of confusion and doubt. It would be fine if Ou Luan didn't help to protect Tianxiahui, but today he chose to retreat at this critical moment, which was really unacceptable.

"Anyone who shakes the morale of the army will die!" Before Tianxia Buer could speak, a cold voice suddenly rang out. Jin Yan, the iron-blooded warrior of the Tianxia Society, could no longer endure it. He moved and turned into a golden light, instantly appearing in front of Ou Luan. The pair of eyes that flashed with golden light were filled with anger and determination.

The golden light was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing Ou Luan's throat. Ou Luan only had time to let out a faint cry before he fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with resentment and regret, as if he had paid the price of his life for his weakness and hesitation.

Jin Yan looked coldly at Ou Luan who was lying on the ground, his voice without a trace of emotion: "My boss didn't kill you because he thought you would learn from your shame and then be brave. I didn't expect that you would actually shake the morale of the army at this time. You deserve to be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue fell into deathly silence. Everyone was shocked by this scene. They did not expect Jin Yan to act so decisively.

Jin Yan's gaze was like the edge of an icy sword, sweeping sharply across everyone present.

His voice echoed in the empty hall, with unquestionable firmness and ruthlessness: "Today, our Tianxiahui is facing a life-or-death situation. Anyone, regardless of status, who dares to mention surrender or handing over people, I will kill him without mercy in the name of Tianxiahui!"

"You guys eat the food of Tianxiahui, drink the water of Tianxiahui, and learn a lot of skills from Tianxiahui. Now, Tianxiahui is facing an unprecedented crisis, but you are all thinking about how to escape. Don't you think this behavior is too selfish and too cheap?"

Jin Yan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present fiercely. They felt unprecedented pressure, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible mountain and could not breathe.

However, at this moment, a trembling voice broke the dead silence: "You! You lunatic! Do you know what you have done? Ou Luan is from the Ou family of the Southern Domain Holy Hall. If you kill him, it will be equivalent to causing a huge disaster for our Tianxia Association! Have you considered the consequences?"

The speaker was the Second Dean, who was pale at the moment, pointing his finger at Jin Yan, his arms trembling uncontrollably. His voice was filled with fear and anger, as if he had seen the calamity that was about to hit the Tianxiahui.

"What? Are you planning to use me as a bargaining chip and give me to the Southern Domain Holy Temple?" Jin Yan's eyes were full of disdain and sarcasm. He looked coldly at the proposer, with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth.

He continued, "The Tianxia Association, once praised as a model of the martial arts world, has now fallen to the point of training talents for the Holy Hall. This is simply ridiculous. Ou Luan, who has confused the army and shaken the foundation of our Tianxia Association, deserves to be killed! Not to mention him, even if it is you, if you dare to say a word of nonsense here and question my decision, I, Jin Yan, will make you bleed on the spot and kill you too!"

Jin Yan's words were like a cold blade, cutting through the silence of everyone present. His eyes flashed with a resolute light, as if to say that his decision could not be questioned, and anyone who dared to question it would pay a heavy price.

"Master!" The Second Dean was frightened by Jin Yan's aura, but he still tried to save the situation. He looked at Tianxia Buer with a look of help in his eyes. He tried to complain to the Master, hoping that the Master could come forward to stop Jin Yan's crazy behavior.

However, Tianxia Buer just sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Jin Yan, you are too impulsive. We are all members of Tianxiahui, we should unite as one and face difficulties together. Although your approach is decisive, it is too radical and may easily cause unnecessary disputes. We can discuss it and find a better solution."

Although Tianxia Buer's words were gentle, they revealed an unquestionable majesty. As the head of the sect, he had the responsibility to maintain the unity and stability of the Tianxia Society and did not want to see a greater crisis caused by a momentary impulse.

"Let's discuss it properly?" Jin Yan's brows were furrowed, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

He looked deeply at Tianxia Buer, his voice filled with a bit of excitement and helplessness: "Master, if it were any other time, I would naturally agree to have a good discussion. After all, we are all a family, and we should sit down and discuss countermeasures together. But what time is it now?"

"The enemy has already reached our doorstep. Those bastards from the Jiang family of Donghai have stained their swords with the blood of our disciples. Too many of our brothers and sisters have fallen in a pool of blood!"

Jin Yan's emotions began to get agitated, and his voice gradually rose: "Still discussing? Master, look at these injured disciples, look at the fear and despair in their eyes. If we continue to discuss, everyone's heart will be chilled. Who will dare to work for Tianxiahui? Everyone is worried that they will be the next person to be abandoned. This atmosphere of everyone being in danger will only make Tianxiahui more and more scattered!"

Jin Yan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Tianxia Buer's heart. Tianxia Buer's face turned pale, and he sighed, his eyes full of helplessness and struggle. How could he not know that everything Jin Yan said was true, and how could he not know that the current situation was imminent.

However, as the head of Tianxiahui, he shoulders a great responsibility. He cannot let Tianxiahui go to destruction because of a momentary impulse, and he cannot let his decision become the fuse of Tianxiahui's demise. He must be calm, must be rational, and must find a way to protect his disciples and save Tianxiahui.

However, looking at Jin Yan's firm and resolute eyes, Tianxia Buer's heart could not help but waver. He knew that he had to make a difficult decision, a decision that could change the fate of Tianxiahui.
