Chapter 2331: Chapter 2327: Ancestor of the Earth Fiend Clan!_1

At this point, Yang Chen didn’t want to argue about principles anymore.

“Zhao Sikong, I really don’t know where you get the courage to mention these two words, ‘chief general.’ How many humans have we lost because of your judgment? Because of your recklessness, there were originally over a thousand Enlightenment-stage fighters, and now only more than two hundred remain. Do you still have the nerve to mention your status as chief general? Are you able to take responsibility for these humans’ safety?” Yang Chen angrily said.

Every time he brought up these matters, he was filled with anger.

It should be known that the entire human group had lost so many people, all because of Zhao Sikong’s actions.

What had he caused as a leader, just for the sake of his own self?

Zhao Sikong listened and glanced around to find that indeed, the number of humans had significantly decreased, which made his heart pause.

However, he clearly had no intention of admitting his mistake and changing his ways. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Yang Chen, what do you know? If we don’t charge out, we might lose even more later. Staying here means waiting to die, giving up hope!”

“Save those words to tell the Heavenly Venerates when you go back,” Yang Chen said expressionlessly. “Zhao Sikong, if you want to charge out, I won’t stop you. If anyone wants to follow Zhao Sikong out, feel free to go. I, Yang Chen, won’t stop you. If you want to stay and believe in me, Yang Chen, I will take responsibility for everyone’s safety to the end!”

The phrase “I will take responsibility for everyone’s safety to the end” struck every single person’s heart.

With the conversation reaching this point, how could Zhao Sikong, who was concerned about his reputation, not insist on going all the way with Yang Chen?

He fiercely said, “Alright, those who want to go with me, Zhao Sikong, follow me.”

However, when his words fell, there was complete silence and not a single sound!

Everyone’s choice was unexpectedly unanimous.

Not a single person chose to fight alongside Zhao Sikong and charge out together. Without exception, they chose to follow Yang Chen!

Even the people of Taiyi Sect, those who had a good relationship with Zhao Sikong and were initially loyal lackeys to him, no longer dared to follow him at this moment.

They still remembered the tragic scenes of so many people perishing just now!

That sadness and terror was still fresh in their memories!

They didn’t want to experience it again.

Yang Chen had saved them by a fluke this time, but what about the next time?

“You, all of you!” Zhao Sikong was furious. “Are you disobeying the orders of your chief general?”

“Zhao Sikong, can you take responsibility for our safety?” A Taiyi Sect Enlightenment Realm expert sighed.

Hearing this, Zhao Sikong’s body shuddered. He wanted to say that he could take responsibility.

However, when the words reached his lips, he knew that for him, it was an impossible task.

Zhao Sikong gnashed his teeth in anger, “You bunch of spineless people, do you only know how to sit here and wait for death?”

Yang Chen coldly said, “If you think you have so much courage, why not charge out by yourself? It should make no difference to the thousands of troops ahead whether it’s you alone or leading a group.”

Zhao Sikong paused slightly. How could he charge out alone?

He was not a fool. Even if he wasn’t afraid of dying, it didn’t mean he would seek death.

If he led a group to charge out, his strength being the strongest, whether others lived or died had nothing to do with him. With others as cover, his chances of breaking through were high.

The reason he wanted Yang Chen to join him in breaking out was for this purpose as well.

He wanted Yang Chen to cover him so he could break out with as much chance of survival as possible.

Asking him to charge out alone, to do something that was undoubtedly a suicide mission, he was not stupid enough to do so.

“Why? Didn’t you just say that others lacked courage?” Yang Chen said angrily.

Zhao Sikong frowned, unable to find any words to say at this moment.

Yang Chen solemnly said, “Zhao Sikong, you should be thankful that you didn’t act on impulse and choose to charge out.”

When the conversation ended, he looked ahead.

No one knew the meaning of his words.

Just then, a flash of light suddenly fell from above the vault of heaven, followed by a huge beam of light that descended fiercely.

From a distance, a golden object, like a red sun, rose slowly, representing a terrifying force that gradually spread.

“Netherworld creatures, you dare to rampage in the Great Secret Realm, do you really think no one can deal with you?”

A voice suddenly descended, rumbling out from the golden wheel and red sun.

Then, several dazzling beams of light plummeted onto the ghost creatures, causing the Netherworld ghosts to tremble as if they had encountered their nemesis, wailing loudly.

“Not good, what, what happened?”

“Not good, it hurts so much.”

“I’m in so much pain. What is this? Make this light go away!”

A group of Netherworld ghosts, after only a short amount of time, began to struggle and roll around.

Even some low-level ghost creatures instantly vanished under the light beams.

“What!” Mu Taiqing and Peng Wanli were unscathed, and their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at the scene inside the beams of light.

It turned out that a group of Earth Fiend clansmen stood in the middle of the golden wheel. Led by Lu Nan, they controlled the entire golden wheel and red sun, and the light was born from within.

Yang Chen was not surprised to see this.

Because earlier, when he was fighting with Peng Wanli, Lu Nan had already informed him from afar that he had a way to deal with everything.

In the end, it was because the Earth Fiend Clan once had a very powerful ancestor who had sealed his tomb in the Great Secret Realm.

This Earth Fiend ancestor, who had a formidable strength, had also glimpsed a realm beyond the Boundaryless level. But whether he had reached the same realm as Hua Qingfeng, he wasn’t so sure.

When the Earth Fiend ancestor sealed himself in this place, he observed the Netherworld ghosts. Although he didn’t take action against them at that time, he had great foresight and anticipated the possible events of the future.

As a result, he used his own power, even at the cost of burying himself early, to create this Golden Wheel Red Sun.

Then, he told his descendants that if Netherworld ghosts were to invade, they could summon the golden wheel he left behind. No matter how many ghosts were born, they would all perish under the golden wheel.

How strong a Boundaryless-level powerhouse was, no one knew!

But at the very least, dealing with the present ghosts seemed like a piece of cake with the light.

“Go!” Lu Nan sat atop the golden wheel, controlling everything.

Immediately, beams of light shone down from the vault of heaven above, and the entire Great Secret Realm was unable to avoid the light.

Subsequently, countless ghosts perished under the light!
