Chapter 376 Wang Meng's Choice
In front of the Floating Jade Palace, tens of thousands of wandering cultivators had gathered, almost surrounding the entire Floating Jade Palace.
At the forefront of these tens of thousands of itinerant cultivators, Wang Meng led the nine rogue cultivators with the foundation of Dao of the human clan.
He, the leopard clan leader Lin Mu, the Eagle clan leader Ao Bai, and the seagull clan leader Hai Qing looked at the tall bronze door in silence.
The bronze doors of the Floating Jade Palace, which were usually open, were now tightly shut.
There was spiritual energy circulating on the bronze door, and light waves flickered.
It meant that the palace-protecting formation had been activated, and even hundreds of Dao Foundation cultivators would find it difficult to break through.
"Brother Wang, we can't go on like this. I think those demonic purple rays will soon fill the Floating Jade array. If we don't shut it down..." Lin Mu looked at Wang Meng and did not finish his sentence.
This was because Lin Mu knew even if Wang Meng had the highest cultivation, he would not be able to break through the Palace's protective array in a short time.
Moreover, who here was a match for the left protector and could take back control of the Floating Jade array from him after he had broken the Palace protecting array?
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. I didn't expect the left protector to betray us!" Hai Qing stomped his feet in frustration and said angrily.
Hai Qing had always trusted the left protector the most ever since the beast cultivators from the bottom of the ocean came.
Hai Qing even believed the left protector was the most influential person to save Floating Jade Island.
The result was disappointing.
The left protector wasn't there to save them from dangerous existence, but the most destructive one!
"What's the use of saying all this now? I suspect that the king has already been killed by the left protector!" Ao Bai, the chief of the Eagle clan, looked at the purple light in the sky with a sharp gaze and said coldly.
The Eagle clan was the closest to the Floating Jade Island Master.
They were the only ones who were concerned about the safety of the island master.
"It seems like Floating Jade Island is doomed!" Hai Qing's wrinkled old face was filled with unwillingness. He raised his head and looked at the Floating Jade array that had almost turned purple.
Other than the center in the Floating Jade Palace, there was no other solution!
Wang Meng didn't pay attention to the words of the other patriarchs. He fell into silence alone and lowered his head in deep thought.
As if he had made a decision, his eyes flashed with determination and he suddenly walked towards the door of the Floating Jade Palace.
Wang Meng's speed was very fast, and he arrived at the Floating Jade Palace's entrance without anyone noticing.
Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Meng, but they only watched. They didn't know what Wang Meng was thinking.
"Left protector, do you really have the heart to see the hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators on Floating Jade Island die? As long as you come out and close the array, I will surrender on behalf of the rogue cultivators of the human clan!" Wang Meng's voice was crisp and clear, and it spread throughout the entire Floating Jade Palace.
The eyes of the nine rogue cultivators standing behind Wang Meng dimmed when they heard his words.
They knew Wang Meng's choice to surrender meant he agreed to the human cultivators' request to sacrifice their lives!
However, even though they were sad, they didn't object. A person who was willing to exchange life for a life was worthy of their respect!
Even the tens of thousands of independent cultivators in the Floating Jade Palace looked at Wang Meng with respect!
Wang Meng's choice was undoubtedly to sacrifice the rogue cultivators of the human clan in exchange for the safety of the hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators on Floating Jade Island.
Even if he chose to surrender.
However, the left protector in the Floating Jade Palace was clearly not satisfied.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it! I can only kill all of you!" the left protector's voice rang out from the Floating Jade Palace. It was sinister and cold.
"Is there no room for maneuver?" Wang Meng said, not giving up.
"I'm going to destroy the entire Floating Jade Island! If you want to blame someone, blame the king!" the left protector's voice was filled with a bit of resentment.
Wang Meng finally knew the reason for the left protector's betrayal. It was because of that incident back then!
"If your Majesty had exterminated the weeds and uprooted them, would the Floating Jade Island have faced such a crisis?" Wang Meng stopped trying to persuade him.
When the left protector brought up old scores, he knew he could not change his mind.
Not only Wang Meng, but Lin Mu, Ao Bai, Hai Qing, and the other elders of Floating Jade Island also fell silent after hearing the left protector's words.
In front of the Floating Jade Palace, which was filled with the aura of death, there was an inexplicable pressure, a heavy pressure.
The pressure was suffocating, and the rogue cultivator's forehead was covered in sweat as he trembled!
Bang!
Suddenly, a rogue cultivator's body exploded for no reason and turned into a bloody mist.
Immediately after, several rogue cultivators exploded.
Wang Meng's clenched fists made a crisp sound, indicating that he was suppressing his crazy anger and endless anger.
"Ye Xiu!" Wang Meng turned around and shouted.
"Your subordinate is here!" a green-robed man, who was about the same age as Wang Meng, replied.
"From today on, you are the new clan leader of the human clan. After the Floating Jade array is opened, if you can reach an agreement with the underwater beast cultivators, you will be the sacrifice for the human clan's rogue cultivators!" Wang Meng's expression was grave.
"Leader!" Ye Xiu shouted.
He felt an ominous premonition from Wang Meng's words, so he wanted to stop him.
"I'm asking you, did you hear me clearly!" Wang Meng interrupted him and shouted angrily.
"I heard you clearly!" Ye Xiu's face showed a struggle, but in the end, he nodded.
"Clan Leader!"
"Brother Wang!"
The other eight unaffiliated Dao Foundation cultivators and the various clan leaders reacted almost at the same time and shouted.
They weren't sure what Wang Meng wanted to do, but they knew he was leaving his last words!
"Wang Meng! Even if you self-destruct, you won't be able to break the defensive formation." The left protector's voice came from the Palace. He could clearly sense Wang Meng's thoughts.
"Left protector, when you brought up the incident a hundred years ago, I knew that I couldn't change your mind, but I couldn't change mine either." Wang Meng smiled.
"I don't want you to do useless things and waste your life! Could it be that you think that without you, they would be a match for me if they joined forces?" The left protector's voice once again sounded through the tightly shut bronze door.
"If you were at your peak, even if all of us attacked at the same time, we might not be able to kill you. But what about now when you're seriously injured?" Wang Meng continued his analysis.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" the left protector's voice was rather nervous, even trembling with surprise.
"With your powerful cultivation, you chose to be a coward in the sealed Palace. This means that you are afraid of something." Wang Meng said slowly.
"That's simply a bunch of nonsense!" the left protector coldly snorted.
Countless spiritual energy immediately gushed out of Wang Meng's body, as if it was burning with invisible flames.
His body was like lightning as he charged toward the tightly shut bronze door.
"Open!"
Wang Meng, who had crashed into the bronze door, was burning with a raging fire. He was really like a small sun.
The human clan's rogue cultivators and the various clan leaders saw through Wang Meng's plan and stood up in unison to stop Wang Meng.
In the end, it was too late!
Wang Meng's cultivation base was above theirs.
Now that he had ignited his soul and all his spiritual energy, his cultivation level had increased rapidly. How could they catch up?
A thunderous sound that shook the heavens and earth resounded on the Floating Jade Island.
The dazzling light pierced through the clouds, and the world lost its color!
The grand and magnificent Floating Jade Palace shook violently under this powerful impact. The roof exploded, the tiles shattered, and the walls cracked.
The originally sturdy protective array was now under a powerful impact. It flickered rapidly and was difficult to resist.
