Destiny is ashes

Chapter 346: We will win at the end of the volume! (Thanks to the leader of the Ancient Demon Prison!)

——I want to stay in Dachen.

This is what Canglinzu really thinks.

Through the vibration of the destiny star, An Jing can clearly understand Canglinzu's thoughts.

Cang Linzu had excellent aptitude and comprehension, and among the many sons of disasters, he was second only to An Jing and Bai Qinghan.

He was a student of Northern Frontier Martial Arts Academy. Although he eventually dropped out due to various reasons, he always had a regret in his heart.

——Am I really not as good as those people in the martial arts academy?
——If I stay in the martial arts academy, will my family also be protected by the academy? Will my mother not die, will my father not be injured, and will my uncle and his family not disappear in the frost forest?
——Is it me who has the problem, or is it Dachen who has the problem?

He always thinks so, always thinks so.

However, Canglinzu had already figured out the answer in his heart.

——It’s Dachen who has the problem.

He wants to stay in Dachen.

Not to join, but to watch.

Canglinzu wanted to understand how the country of Dachen operated.

He wanted to understand why in a country that is supposedly the most rule-abiding, there are still people who can ignore the rules, arbitrarily distort the country's laws, and destroy the foundation of their own survival.

The Northern Frontier Military Army is a good way to go. It is relatively independent, and the channels for advancement are high enough. Gu Yunzhi is an old man who is capable, ambitious, and dares to gamble. Following him may lead to losses, but you will never stagnate.

[Brother, I know you hate Dachen, and I hate him too. It’s just that you can’t stand dirty things and don’t want to go along with the dirty crowd, but I don’t mind.]

[When talking about hometown, you always wonder why Dachen, which was peaceful and prosperous before, suddenly became like this? A few years ago, even the idiots in the village could occasionally eat meat and buy new clothes. The atmosphere of peace and joy is still in front of us. How could it suddenly become so decadent overnight that it is difficult to eat a hot meal and have to chew grass roots? ]

[I am also confused]

[Brother, you always think a lot, and it seems that you already have the answer. You seem to be able to see at a glance why Dachen has come to the current situation... But I can't figure it out, I have to find out.]

[It’s just… I’m not just myself now]

[I am still the leader of my brothers]

[If I stay in Dachen, there will definitely be some junior brothers and sisters who want to stay in Dachen... I can make my own decision, but I... I am a little afraid... I am not afraid of death, I am not afraid at all, I am just afraid...]

——Afraid of taking on other people’s lives.

- So tell me, brother. How should I choose?
——If it were you, let me and Ye Qi go to Mingjing Sect to wait for you, I would go there without hesitation. Although it would be a pity, I would also feel relaxed and I don't think it's a bad choice.

——If you let me follow my own wishes, then I will stay according to my own ideas, and as for others who want to stay, I will grit my teeth and carry them.

An Jing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes slightly brightened, with a little sigh: "It has come to this point...A Cang. Have you also found the meaning of your life and the path you want?"

"You're growing up so fast."

Although it was just a few short sentences and some brief fragments of memories, the situation of the Sons of Disaster was already very clear.

As Canglinzu awakened his destiny, he also caught the attention of Gu Yeqi's grandfather, Gu Yunzhi, the commander of the Northern Frontier.

This old man, who most likely has already made his name in Shenjing and been ordained as a general, admires Canglinzu, a young man who dares to fight and is not afraid to go to the battlefield for reconnaissance, so he wants to keep him under his command and train him as his confidant.

Cang Linzu was naturally somewhat tempted. For this young man who was devoted to martial arts and had once stayed in a martial arts academy, a military life was what he longed for.

Moreover, relying on this path... he might be able to figure out why the Northern Frontier defenders collapsed at the first blow to the Northern Barbarians, and were so careless in dealing with the frost disaster, or even let it go.

On the other hand, Gu Yeqi's situation was even simpler.

As the only remaining bloodline of the Gu family, she can no longer stay in Dachen. Gu Yunzhi will send Gu Yeqi to the Five Sects of Chenli before the enemy discovers her.

Originally, Gu Yeqi was going to go to the Taiming Sect, the strongest of the five sects, but because of An Jing's recent actions, Gu Yeqi, who knew that An Jing was already a member of the Mingjing Sect, could only choose the Mingjing Sect no matter how he thought about it.

Gu Yunzhi would not be too entangled in this aspect. It would be better to say that he, who is also very interested in An Jing, is most likely one of the forces that An Jing can contact for his actions in the northern border. If An Jing can help in the process of finding his mother and settling her down, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

Gu Yunzhi must also want to keep a group of potential sons of disaster to train under his own command. These people have already had their potential confirmed by the Demon Cult, and maybe one or two children with destiny will emerge from them, making it worth his gamble.

But similarly, when Gu Yeqi was sent to Mingjing Sect, there would definitely be a group of people following her.

In this way, the Sons of Disaster were divided.

Should I stay in Dachen Wujun with Cang Linzu, or follow Gu Yeqi to Mingjing Sect?
An Jing felt that there must be more people going to Mingjing Sect, after all, he was there. But there would also be some people staying in Dachen, because for them, everywhere was the same. Although they admired An Jing, instead of going to Mingjing Sect to gamble on the treatment, it would be better to continue to practice and grow in the Wujun who had been very good to them.

Canglinzu has longer-term considerations, but his current identity prevents him from making a decision easily.

"Do what you want to do."

An Jing answered directly, his tone calm and encouraging: "If someone can be influenced by you, it means he should be influenced by you." "A Cang, if you want to stay in Dachen, it's a good thing, because the same group of people should not stay in the same place, it's easy to be caught in one fell swoop."

"If you stay in Dachen and really become General Gu Yunzhi's confidant, then if your brothers and sisters in Mingjing Sect don't do well in the future, they will also have a way out in Dachen."

"On the other hand, you have your own back-up plan in the Mingjing Sect and the Five Chenli Sects. If there is any problem, both sides can help each other and do things that are difficult for each other to do. For example, this time my master and I were assassinated by other sects of the Five Sects. The biggest failure in such a situation is to do it yourself. If we are not in the same camp, we can solve each other's problems."

"In short, do what you want to do. You and I are connected by destiny, and we are the same no matter where we are."

"As for carrying the lives of others... Akura. Remember. You and I are both warriors, and we both have the power to kill others with a single punch. Ever since we have this power, we have always been carrying such lives."

"Believe in yourself. If we are destined to meet, we can meet again in Northern Xinjiang."

After he finished speaking, the weak link was about to break, and An Jing decisively disconnected it. Then he laughed, drove east, and his figure disappeared in the snow and fog.

Northern Frontier, where the Wu army is stationed.

Cang Linzu, who slowly opened his eyes, was no longer confused. Gu Yeqi, who was guarding him at the door, turned his head and waited for him to speak.

"Big brother said, do what I want to do."

Looking up, Cang Linzu said to Gu Yeqi: "I want to stay in Dachen."

"Wouldn't it be over if I didn't tell you earlier?"

Gu Yeqi laughed and said, "I told you, this is a small matter... We sold our lives and chose to follow the eldest brother to leave the Demon Cult."

"How can people like us hesitate for such a reason? Instead of worrying about this, you should think about how awkward it would be if few people were willing to stay with you."

"Also, you must pay attention to your own safety. Otherwise, if you die on the battlefield, it will be difficult for me to visit your grave when I come back."

"How do you talk?"

Cang Linzu raised his head and snorted coldly: "You should think about what you should rely on to gain a firm foothold if you arrived at Mingjing Sect earlier than Senior Brother!"

"I know that the competition between the outer and inner sects of Mingjing Sect is very fierce. You must be careful not to be kicked out of the outer courtyard before your elder brother returns to Mingjing Sect, and end up crying and looking for grandpa!"

"Ha, you think too much."

Gu Yeqi has long been accustomed to people who seem to quarrel but actually care about each other. As for the competition between the inner and outer courtyards of the sect, she is not afraid at all.

The last descendant of the Gu family in Northern Xinjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a stern blue snake pupil flashed across his eyes: "I really like what my grandfather said."

"A good man dies because of virtue, and a bad man is worse than poison... I am willing to be a good man, but if there is a need..."

"We are originally from the Demonic Cult, aren't we?"

The two looked at each other, as if looking in a mirror, and could see a hint of nervousness, a hint of fear, a hint of yearning in each other's hearts... as well as a sense of confidence that came from nowhere.

Yes. Whether to stay in Dachen or go to Mingjing Sect, this life-changing fateful decision is right in front of them. How can young boys and girls like them not be nervous?
But then, they all laughed.

"Can you do it?"

"of course."

Young people should be full of vigor and vitality. If they are timid about everything, thinking about the pros and cons, and only want to win but are unwilling to face the loss, then they are not young people and would not be alive today.

In the spring of the first year of Yanping, Long Zun fought with his son in Beihai.

In the spring of the first year of Yanping, the Tieli northern barbarians broke through the Yunzhong City in seven days.

In the spring of the first year of Yanping, the Fire Phoenix flew across the sky, and Yu Yaoguo's celestial torch once again ignited the sacred fire.

In the spring of the first year of Yanping, the bells of heaven and earth rang in the place where Zhaopan was born.

Also in the spring of the first year of Yanping, the gods ordered An Jing to kill the master Yu Kanming and return to his hometown in the northern border to find his mother.

He has taken control of his own destiny and has overcome the disaster.

It was the same frost disaster, the same dark snow all over the sky, the endless silver frost. He could deal with it, ignore it, and defeat it.

In the snow, Teng Shuangbai was speeding, leaving a straight track.

Now, he is going back to his hometown where he once suffered a defeat.

And this time, he will win.

Win it all and leave no regrets.
