Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Severance of Grace and Ties
“All because it all started with the Heavenly Sect!” Ling Chongsheng answered through gritted teeth, hatefully glaring at Chu Zhongtian.
“For the sake of the Heavenly Sect, you didn’t hesitate to harm my wife, and I gave my life to serve you. Now, I want to dissolve the Heavenly Sect. You call each other brothers, don’t you, claiming innocence? Alright, then do you dare to dissolve the Heavenly Sect to prove it to me? Do you dare to prove to me now whether your brother or the Heavenly Sect is more important? Do you dare?!”
Chu Zhongtian’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
But he was deeply calculative, always striving to reveal no emotion.
“Chongsheng, your demand is absurd. The Heavenly Sect is the world that all the brothers fought for together; it’s not something I can dissolve just because I want to.”
“I just need a straight answer from you, do you dare dissolve the Heavenly Sect for my sake?” Ling Chongsheng pressed.
Chu Zhongtian could no longer contain his anger, “I’ve said it, the Heavenly Sect belongs to everyone, it’s not something that can just be dissolved on a whim!”
“What if it’s my request, my insistence?” Ling Chongsheng slowly looked towards the others, his voice very solemn.
“Gentlemen, I, Ling Chongsheng, have always treated you as brothers. I’ve always given my heart and soul to the Heavenly Sect, and now I must dissolve it. Who of you will support me? Those who consider me a brother, stand up for me!”
Ling Chongsheng’s voice echoed in the spacious meeting room.
But not a single person stood up…
They all simply watched him in silence.
Ling Chongsheng’s eyes flickered, his voice growing tenser, “If none of you wish to dissolve it, so be it. Now choose, from now on, whether you will follow Chu Zhongtian or me. If you follow me, I will become the leader of the Heavenly Sect, not Chu Zhongtian. If you follow Chu Zhongtian, from now on the Heavenly Sect will have nothing to do with me! Decide now, who will you follow!”
The air in the meeting room became even more suffocating…
Again, no one stood up.
Seeing this outcome hurt Ling Chongsheng.
His eyes involuntarily turned bloodshot, “None of you want to follow me? You all see Chu Zhongtian as the leader, don’t you? Hah, so that’s why He Fei obeyed his command, that’s why he betrayed me, isn’t it?”
“Ling Chongsheng, you’re being unreasonable. I am the leader of the Heavenly Sect, how can you force them to make a choice?” Chu Zhongtian chastised discontentedly.
Ling Chongsheng scoffed, “Fine, I won’t force them. Today we settle our accounts personally, I’m not your subordinate and you’re not my leader. We are brothers, and today we only settle family affairs…”
Ling Chongsheng took a few steps back, his eyes growing colder and more ruthless.
“Chu Zhongtian, I considered you a brother, I’ll give you just one bullet. If you don’t die, we’ll call it even. If you do, then it’s what you deserve. But from that point on, our brotherhood will be severed, we won’t be brothers anymore—never!”
Then, Ling Chongsheng slowly pointed the gun at his chest.
A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He was serious, he really wanted to kill Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian knew him too well, although Ling Chongsheng was a man of deep loyalty, he was definitely a ruthless one.
He was never soft-hearted when taking action…
So he really was about to pull the trigger on him.
Indeed, as Ling Chongsheng’s eyes became fiercely cold, his finger was about to squeeze the trigger!
“Take him down!” Chu Zhongtian suddenly dodged in a panic, shouting out loudly, and at the same time, the sound of a bullet being fired rang out.
