Chapter 209:
On the sandy battlefield in front of the gate of the Lonely City.
Earth Sword Immortal stood in front of the blood-stained sand dune, looking at the torn and fragmented body of the old man, who had been slashed by more than ten Taoist soldiers. He remained silent for a long time.
After Captain Hai and the other old soldiers had overcome their initial shock, they looked at the back of Earth Sword Immortal with complex expressions.
Earth Sword Immortal’s thoughts could not be understood by his own brother, Lu Yanbei, let alone them.
But regardless of his true intentions, since Earth Sword Immortal had joined the battle, Captain Hai naturally represented the remaining surviving soldiers on the battlefield to express their gratitude to him.
As for the words with a hint of moral pressure like, "If you had intervened earlier, the old soldiers might not have been injured or killed…" the old soldiers were not naive kids and naturally wouldn’t say it out loud.
Although they wouldn’t say it out loud, this kind of thought did occasionally cross their minds… It’s just human nature.
After showcasing his strength, Earth Sword Immortal surprised the old soldiers and planted similar thoughts in their minds.
Earth Sword Immortal’s reputation was still well-known, especially among the military and civilians of this isolated city.
