Chapter 37, Who is Willing to Fight With Me for the Hope in Our Hearts?
The people of the Imperial Army were utterly silent.
Those vice generals also had first-rate strength.
Even the commandant who had barely stepped into the first-rate level.
Did not dare to speak.
They were afraid that they would be targeted b He Chuan.
It was too terrifying!
He was taking the head of an enemy general among ten thousand armies as easy as taking something from a bag!
Was this something that a human could do?
Even an upper-stage first-rate cultivator could not do it!
Could it be that… This Night Slayer had already broken through the first-rate level and reached the realm of being one with nature?
This was a question that arose in their hearts at the same time.
If that was the case…
Then this Night Slayer was not an existence that they could deal with at all.
Don’t look at the tens of thousands of imperial court soldiers inside and outside the city.
To a martial arts expert of this level, they were not a threat at all.
Ordinary soldiers did not have any means to stop him, and it was difficult to even restrict him.
The Night Slayer could kill all the generals and leave.
Who would be at a disadvantage then?
It would still be them!
Hence, under this psychological attack,
The generals of the Imperial Army tacitly did not dare to act rashly.
No one dared to stand out.
In the crowd, they silently waved to the back, signaling for them to retreat.
Very soon.
The thousands of imperial court soldiers in the city retreated like a tide.
After meeting up with the troops outside the city, they did not hesitate and quickly moved north.
However, He Chuan knew that the imperial court would not let this go.
In the future, they would definitely send even stronger cultivators to encircle and suppress him.
He might as well take the initiative and go against him!
He Chuan stepped onto the city wall and looked down at the commoners before speaking slowly.
“Perhaps all of you have heard of me.”
“Night Slayer is the nickname that the people in the world have given me.”
“To be able to obtain your trust and recognition is my honor.”
“In this tyrannical and corrupt dynasty.”
“It’s a pity that my personal ability is limited, and I have failed everyone’s expectations.”
“With just my strength alone, it’s really hard to shake them.”
After saying this, he paused.
The people below who were listening were a little confused and they stared at each other.
What did he mean?
Could it be that…
Night Slayer Master was afraid of the imperial court?
Did he not want to continue resisting them?
In the next second…
He Chuan used his inner qi to wrap around his voice and sent it out.
That voice filled with intimidation sounded in everyone’s hearts at the same time.
“Today!”
“I want to rebel!”
“Rebel against this decadent dynasty!”
“Rebel against this distorted era!”
“Return a peaceful world to all the people in this world! Crush that endless oppression and evil power!”
“Bringing all the cultivators in the world a holy land for cultivation! No matter whether they are talented or not, they will all enjoy the best cultivation!”
“Who is willing to fight with me for the future, for the hope in their hearts!”
…
As soon as he said that, the tens of thousands of people in the city were stunned.
Did I hear wrong?
Night Slayer wanted to rebel?
This was a great crime that would kill nine generations!
Everyone was silent.
Faced with such a choice, it seemed that they would rather welcome the arrival of the light in oppression than creating the light themselves.
He Chuan looked at these people with a hint of sorrow.
“Perhaps you haven’t seen the starving people everywhere, the mournful people everywhere.”
“Nor have you seen the bandits who colluded with the government, wantonly slaughtering unarmed civilians, and humiliating the women in their homes in front of them.”
“It sounds far away, right?”
“Then let’s hope that they will never repeat their mistakes on you!”
He Chuan shook his head in disappointment and turned to leave.
The instigation to revolt here was considered to have ended in failure.
However, he could still go to Qingyuan County to try again.
That was the place he had been running for several years.
The respect the civilians had for him was perhaps greater than their fear of the imperial court.
Two days later, when He Chuan returned to Qingyuan County, countless warriors and civilians had lined up in a long line, waiting for his arrival.
“Welcome Night Slayer Master!”
It seemed that they all knew his identity.
He Chuan raised his arm and called out.
“I want to rebel, there is no glory or wealth, only the truth of the world. Who is willing to fight with me?”
His short words instantly received countless responses.
A middle-aged martial artist brought his family forward.
“The five members of the Sun family are willing to fight with you, Sir!”
“Good!”
He Chuan’s gaze was sharp. With a glance, he could tell that everyone in this family was a cultivator. The weakest one was a middle-stage third-rate cultivator.
Compared to ordinary soldiers, they were much stronger.
“Me too!”
A youth dressed in green and white stood out from the side. The sword on his back was more than three feet long. The inner qi emitted from it made him feel high-spirited. He was already a second-rate martial artist at such a young age!
“Hahaha, even a little kid relied on his courage to step forward. Do we old men still have the face to stand behind others?”
Amidst the hearty laughter, a few old men also walked out.
He Chuan took a closer look. These few were even stronger. They were already upper-stage second-rate experts. They were only one step away from breaking through to become first-rate martial artists.
With them taking the lead, the number of people responding instantly increased explosively.
In an instant, the crowd responded. Not long after, the number of applicants had exceeded 30,000!
Among them, 4,000 were martial artists!
Although their strength was not equal, for an ordinary army, this number was already very exaggerated.
With these cultivators, even if they were to fight against the 60,000 regular soldiers, they still had a considerable chance of winning!
After this, He Cuan organized the military affairs.
He got the blacksmiths in the city to speed up the forging of armor for them.
Not long after.
The Resistance Army officially started an uprising!
Under the gaze of the people, He Chuan listed out the 10 great crimes of the dynasty.
He wanted everyone to know.
They were not fighting for themselves, not for power!
They were fighting for the people of the world!
Following this, they used Qingyuan County as their base and quickly expanded!
In a short period of time, 30,000 people consecutively broke through more than 10 important imperial cities.
They obtained a large number of military supplies.
After the news spread to the north, the entire imperial court quavered and discussed it for a few days.
In the end, they actually decided to transfer 300,000 troops over to suppress the rebellion!
