Chapter 145 Be Buried In Peace
In his previous life, Xiang Nan had also searched for the Devil Sea, but he did not do his best. After searching twice, he did not find it and gave up.
First, although the Devil Sea was an ancient battlefield, the treasures left behind were not attractive enough for people with extremely high cultivation bases.
Secondly, the Devil Sea also confirmed that legend. Without the Devil Sea Token, it was impossible to find the location of the Devil Sea.
This time, Xiang Nan was lucky enough to obtain the Devil Sea Token, and his heart began to stir. Even if the treasures inside were not favored by high realm martial artists, at least for Origin Realm martial artists and even Heavenly Origin Realm martial artists, they were considered to be supreme treasures.
Especially when he found the Devil Sea, he was able to fulfill his wish. He wanted to see what exactly was happening inside.
However, Xiang Nan checked the Devil Sea Token back and forth, and even used his lightning vision to look at it, but he couldn't find a way to use it.
"Perhaps the time has not come." Xiang Nan nodded and put the Devil Sea Token into his storage ring.
As for the Poisonous Herb Poisonous Pills left behind by the monster, Xiang Nan originally planned to destroy them directly, but after thinking for a while, it was better to bring them back to the sect.
The Haoran Sect had a credit exchange mechanism. That was, the disciples of the sect could offer valuable spirit herbs and spirit pills to fill the inventory of the Haoran Sect and obtain corresponding credit rewards.
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan put away all the poisonous herbs and poisonous pills.
Afterwards, he rescued more than 30 disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. Those disciples were still very weak and could not even speak clearly.
Xiang Nan simply used his Yuan Qi to drag them all two meters away from the ground before quickly leaving.
After finding his Night Bladed Leopard, he rode his horse and whipped towards Fallen Moon City.
As Xiang Nan passed through Linhai Town, he raised his head and looked up. Above Linhai Town, countless painful souls had been freed, and they were flying into the sky.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan said sincerely, "Please forgive me for not being able to save your lives. The only thing I can do is to free you."
It was unknown whether those souls had heard Xiang Nan's words or sensed Xiang Nan.
All of a sudden, the souls in the sky stopped and looked towards Xiang Nan.
At this moment, countless souls were crawling in the air in Xiang Nan's direction.
"Go." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
Only then did the countless souls float back into the sky.
After returning to the prefecture capital, Xiang Nan reported the situation truthfully. Sun Chun immediately ordered the prefecture lord to gather 100,000 soldiers and enter the Qing Shui Forest.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Qing Shui Forest was extremely solemn.
One soldier after another slowly dragged out the corpses of the citizens of Linhai Town who had died tragically from the tree trunk.
Every soldier's heart was incomparably heavy. In the entire process of digging up the corpse, not a single person spoke.
On the open space of the ancient tree, Sun Chun solemnly took off his military helmet, took off his coat, and knelt down to the countless corpses.
Sun Chun punched heavily on his chest with his right hand and said, "As the commander of the Garrison of the Fallen Moon Continent, I failed to protect all of you. It was my negligence."
"Sun Chun, apologizes to the elders of Linhai Town!"
At this point, Sun Chun fell to the ground, but he couldn't lift it up for a long time. He used his forehead to stand on the ground, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Every soldier's eyes were red. When they desperately wanted to take the baby out of their mother's arms, they found that the mothers were hugging it so tightly that unless they broke their arms, they would not be able to do so.
"Let them be buried together." Xiang Nan patted the soldier's arm.
The soldier remained silent and put down his right hand, which was trying to separate mother and son.
"General Sun." Xiang Nan went to comfort Sun Chun and said, "Nobody wants this to happen. It's really that monster that is too cunning. Don't blame yourself too much."
"I can't fucking blame myself?!" Sun Chun jumped up and slapped his face fiercely, "Look at so many innocent people!"
"Look at so many babies who haven't even opened their eyes! They died so miserably in Qing Shui Forest that they can't even return home …"
"What the hell am I! As a garrison general, what face do I have to face the Sunset Moon Continent's elders! What the hell am I? A useless piece of trash!"
Sun Chun's tears rolled down his cheeks as he roared with all his might.
Xiang Nan took a deep breath and said, "The soldier is responsible for keeping the country safe, resisting foreign enemies, and protecting the people of Dawn from being slaughtered by the foreign races."
"Of course, the rise and fall of the world is a common responsibility. Although I am a disciple of the Haoran Sect, I am also a martial artist of the Haotian Empire. I also have my own responsibility."
"If I apologize, I should be blaming myself more than you."
More than 90,000 corpses were transported back to Linhai Town, and the prefecture took the initiative to host a grand and solemn funeral for them.
Many people from the surrounding towns, including the people from Fallen Moon City, came. Everyone took off their clothes and hats and bowed to the burial ground of the dead.
Sun Chun lost control several times. He kicked over a soldier and snatched the shovel from his hand. "Let me do it! I want to bury them myself! I want to apologize to them!"
"So many people have died! So many people have died!"
As a soldier, especially a military general, Sun Chun should maintain a firm heart and a solemn expression. He should not be moved by life and death, and should set an example for his subordinates.
However, at this moment, no one felt that Sun Chun had lost his composure.
Soldiers were like this. They could throw their heads on the battlefield and sprinkle hot blood. They could use their lives to exchange for the safety and health of their motherland, and even the arrival of their swords and swords without frowning.
However, when these iron-boned soldiers faced the tragic death of their hometown's elders, they were able to touch the softest side of their hearts the most.
Because they abandoned their lives and left their homeland in order to defend these people.
Xiang Nan's heart was also heavy as he joined in the excavation of the cemetery.
As for the 30-odd arrogant and domineering disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, they all put down their arrogance and quietly joined in.
Facing the passage of life, everyone's mood is the same.
Three days later, everyone went to Linhai Town's cemetery and laid a wreath.
"Big Brother Xiang Nan, it was our fault earlier. I'm really sorry for you." The disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect hesitated for a few times before finally coming forward.
Chen Haitao said with extreme guilt, "We provoked you three times, but you were able to save us regardless of our past grudges."
"We really … don't know how to thank you."
"Yes." The female disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect also walked over and said to Xiang Nan, "It was us who rashly rushed into the Qing Shui Forest to send you to your death. We wanted you to enter without sufficient preparation, and we fell into a life-and-death battle with that monster."
"If …"
"Alright." Xiang Nan interrupted them with a smile and said, "You don't have to blame yourselves too much. Actually, you're not bad either. You're just trying to show off. Young people are like this."
"As long as you are more cautious and generous next time."
