799: C799 Why Didn't You Resist?

C799 Why Didn't You Resist?

Lin Cheng didn't respond to Ren Xiao and Hai Shu's pleas.

This made both of their faces darken. Even Gu Yuanhua couldn't help but reveal a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Although Lin Cheng was a nominal guest elder of Longevity Sect, they all knew that. This status couldn't be tied to Lin Cheng, even if he was from a major sect. A mere guest elder's status might not be able to tempt a mighty figure like Lin Cheng. Furthermore, it was the Longevity Sect that had fallen to such a state.

Although the Longevity Sect had recruited a lot of disciples in recent years... However, those disciples had just embarked on the path of cultivation. They were the ones who could truly determine the strength of a sect. Those were the top disciples, the core disciples of other sects.

However, in the Longevity Sect, the strongest disciples were only Zou Qingqi and a few other disciples, while they were only Incarnation Stage.

Among them, Zou Qingqi was the strongest. She was only a step away from breaking through to the Divine Ability Stage, but no one knew when that step would be taken.

Even if there were millions of disciples in the sect, so what?

Currently, the Longevity Sect didn't seem to be weak. There were a lot of cultivator in the sect. Even if it had declined... But in the outside world... Even a king would have to fear it. However, compared to other sects... The Longevity Sect was nothing.

Could a sect like this keep an almighty expert?

Ren Xiao and the other two understood that it didn't matter if it was their request or their hope. It was just wishful thinking.

However, when faced with an expert of Lin Cheng's level, they really didn't want to give up just like that. They had to give it a try. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to watching the opportunity of Longevity Sect's rise slip away from their eyes.

Of course, it was no longer important whether Longevity Sect could rise or not.

The birth of the Great Devil had created the Celestial Devil Sect. The entire Dongzhou and even the entire Nine-prefecture Continent was facing a huge crisis. At this moment, Gu Yuanhua and the other two no longer thought about the rise of the Longevity Sect. What they were more concerned about was whether or not they could survive this crisis. They wanted to protect the foundation of the Longevity Sect.

However, after seeing Lin Cheng's reaction, they realized that their hope was about to be dashed.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanhua swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Unlike Ren Xiao and Hai Shu, Gu Yuanhua actually had a glimmer of hope in his heart. If possible, he hoped that Lin Cheng could become the Sect Master of Longevity Sect.

If Lin Cheng became the Sect Master of Longevity Sect, it was imaginable what it would mean to Longevity Sect.

However, Lin Cheng wasn't even willing to protect Longevity Sect, let alone Sect Master. Gu Yuanhua felt incomparably disappointed.

The three of them were disappointed that Lin Cheng rejected their offer. However, they weren't dissatisfied, because they knew that their request and hope were too much. If they were in Lin Cheng's shoes, they would never agree to such a request.

If they agreed to it, it would be equivalent to carrying a big burden on their shoulders. Longevity Sect would only become Lin Cheng's burden.

However, when faced with an expert like Lin Cheng, it was such a rare opportunity. If they didn't mention it, they wouldn't be willing to accept it.

Now, they were rejected by Lin Cheng. This was within their expectations, but they couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Seniors, the situation hasn't reached its worst yet. Why are you in such despair?" Just as the three of them were sighing in their hearts, Lin Cheng suddenly spoke.

"Little friend, what you mean is..." Gu Yuanhua was startled. Compared to Hai Shu and Ren Xiao, he had a better understanding of Lin Cheng. Therefore, he knew that Lin Cheng's words weren't baseless. It seemed like he was implying something.

"The current situation isn't optimistic, but it hasn't reached the final moment yet."

Lin Cheng said, "It's true that the two of you don't have much lifespan left, but it hasn't reached the point where you are at the end of your lifespan. The Great Devil is terrifying, but we can't just sit and wait for death. Otherwise, what's the point of protecting the Longevity Sect? "

"Little friend, it's a shame to say that. It's just that the two of us are unwilling to accept it."

Ren Xiao and Hai Shu felt a little awkward.

They naturally understood what Lin Cheng meant. Although their lifespans were approaching, the fact that they said they were nearing their end didn't mean that they would die in the next two to three years.

However, they started to ask Lin Cheng for help now. This was undoubtedly equivalent to giving up hope. Or rather, they were placing their hopes on Lin Cheng.

"Since you are unwilling, you might as well fight back."1

Lin Cheng said with a smile, "Evil devils are powerful and terrifying. Everyone in Dongzhou and Nine-prefecture Continent is in danger. The same goes for me, but since I'm afraid... Even if they die in battle... There's no more regrets."

At this point, his eyes swept across the faces of Hai Shu and the other two, "I just don't know if the three of you still have the courage to fight to the death."

"Little friend, the two of us don't have much lifespan left, why should we be afraid of death?"

Hai Shu shook his head and said, "It's just that we have a sect in our hearts, and we are unwilling to die just like this."

Ren Xiao said, "If it wasn't for the continuation of the sect, the two of us would have gone to the Myriad Sword Sect to seek revenge a few years ago. We wouldn't have waited until today."

Gu Yuanhua remained silent, but the look in his eyes was incomparably firm. He wasn't afraid of dying in battle either.

"If that's the case, there won't be any problems."

Lin Cheng smiled. "If the three of you are not afraid of death, then why not resist?"

The three of them smiled bitterly. If they could resist, why would they wait until today?

It was precisely because they did not have the ability to fight back, whether it was against the Myriad Sword Sect. They didn't have the slightest ability to resist. Ren Xiao and Hai Shu could still threaten them in the face of the Myriad Sword Sect. In order to protect the Longevity Sect.

However, in the face of the devil, they didn't even have the ability to intimidate him, let alone resist.

"What if we can quickly strengthen our sect?" Lin Cheng asked.

The three of them were stunned, as if they didn't understand what Lin Cheng meant.

Lin Cheng looked at them and said with a serious expression, "If there is a way to quickly and in large quantities cultivate Expert of Divine Ability Stage, isn't this good news for the three of you?"

The three of them widened their eyes.

"Little friend, you, what you mean is..." Gu Yuanhua's voice was trembling.

Hai Shu and Ren Xiao were staring at Lin Cheng.

"Sect Master should know that I am an alchemist." Lin Cheng said, "I accidentally concocted a type of pill. This kind of pill... It can allow a Peak of Incarnation Stage cultivator to break through to the Divine Ability Stage. Of course. There were some risks involved, but..."

" Little friend, is that true?! "

Before Lin Cheng could finish his words, Ren Xiao suddenly stood up and asked excitedly.
