Chapter 264: Chapter 189: The God General Wields His Halberd at Broken Golden Bridge!_2

"The Minor Venerate emerging from Liu Venerate’s original body harbors the ’Divine Intent,’ with this advantage, among those present, this old man has the highest hope of inheriting the so-called Ancient inheritance!"

"If I could become the successor to Lord Qingling, in the future I could become a figure like the Lord of Residual Prison Mansion!"

"Caution must come first; one must not be killed in an attack and thus squander this bright future!"

Ji Lao thought so, his heart brimming with utmost vigilance.

He looked ahead, the powerful demons and evils spirits at this moment appeared extremely quiet as they followed the old residents, moving forward.

Even though Ji Lao was in the Qi Refining Realm, looking at these intelligent great demons and evil spirits, he still felt some fear.

Especially since demons and evil spirits were inherently ferocious, the quieter they were now, the more terrifying they seemed.

Roar!!!

Below the golden bridge, from the endless abyss, came an hysterical roar!

Everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but feel chilled, showing a look of vigilance.

Lin Yan reached out to grip the hilt of his knife, his breathing became stagnant, unable to stop he halted his footsteps.

Only those old residents seemed to think nothing of it.

The leading elder stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Why has the County Magistrate stopped? Let us continue on, this is Lord Qingling’s trial... "

Lin Yan didn’t speak, glancing at Han Commander.

Sometimes, it was not suitable for the County Magistrate to speak.

But for the fool named Si Chun, there was less need for concern.

"Trial? What trial? Why don’t I remember?" Han Commander stepped forward, asking this.

"Haven’t I informed you before?" The elder glanced at him, somewhat puzzled.

"Didn’t I die again? This is another new reincarnated body; I’ve forgotten." Han Commander replied.

"How could you forget?" The elder said angrily.

"Is a fool forgetting things that strange?" Lv Tang couldn’t help commenting, "With the wisdom of this Scholar and knowledge that is exceptional, often the books I’ve memorized... I cannot remember them... What’s the use of arguing with a fool?"

"Indeed..."

The elder seemed to realize something and said, "This golden bridge is a blessing from Lord Qingling, we pass through it to eliminate disasters and resolve calamities, to dispel delusions and enlighten the mind... Only those whose will is not firm enough, those who have done many evils in their lives, will be pulled down from the bridge."

Before the sound faded, behind them a high-ranking member of Tribulation Ash who was unable to suppress the anger in his heart amid the roar from beneath the bridge.

"What’s all this noise? Seeking death!"

He roared, his body swelling, fur growing wildly, almost turning into a giant bear.

His limbs twisted unnaturally, claws and teeth extending, becoming extremely ferocious.

Then they saw him leap, heading towards the abyss beneath the golden bridge.

Filled with the intent to kill, he was about to plunge into the abyss to slay the source of those "demon sounds."

Above the golden bridge, everyone’s heart could not help but rise with fear.

Even those evil spirits known as the "source of fear" couldn’t help but feel startled under such unexpected events.

"So, he jumps down and becomes a new demon underneath the bridge?" Han Commander whispered.

"Not a demon, a sacrificial offering," said the elder, stroking his beard and laughing, "Among our returned fellow villagers, there always are many who are not pure enough; Lord Qingling does not like them, so they are sacrificial offerings! Anyway... in the future, there will be pure reincarnated bodies returning to our midst."

"..."

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze.

In the eyes of this old man, the newly returned fellow villagers, may not necessarily be the real villagers.

At least without the trial of the golden bridge, they didn’t belong to the true villagers!

Including at this moment Lin Yan, the County Magistrate, who was likely considered a sacrificial offering in the opponent’s eyes.

One by one, the roaring of the demon sound provoked some people to inadvertently glance below the bridge.

Just one look caused them to become dazed and unable to awaken, unknowingly, they tumbled down.

Less than halfway across the golden bridge!

Yet already, two in the Qi Refining Realm, three in the Refining Essence Realm, three demons, and one ferocious evil spirit had fallen from the bridge.

This ceremony of crossing the bridge to ascend the mountain, to pay homage to Lord Qingling, turned out to be fraught with danger!

"Ji Lao... it is you who doomed me..."

Ji Lao recognized the voice when he heard it; it belonged to the old farmer who competed with him for the position of Vice Sect Hierarch last night.

It was said that the old farmer died, to be precise, he completely lost control and became an evil spirit with a physical body.

He then disappeared.

It couldn’t be here!

It must be the trickery of the demon sound!

Ji Lao took a deep breath and acted as if he heard nothing.

Yet that voice, eerily persistent, continued endlessly.

"Ji Lao, come join me... If you won’t join me, then I will come looking for you..."

Demon’s bewitching voice!

If you don’t react, you can ignore it and safely cross the Golden Bridge to seek the Supreme town object!

Old Ji thought as such yet couldn’t help shuddering, his intuition of life and death overwhelming his restraint, compelling him to look over.

Boom!!!

He saw a giant rising from the Abyss, a hundred zhang tall, clad in armor, drenched in blood.

Yet his eyes blazed with golden light!

He wielded a giant halberd!

Leaping from the Abyss, he soared higher than the Golden Bridge!

He raised the halberd in his hand and ruthlessly brought it down!

In the instant before anyone could react, the Golden Bridge was severed by his single strike!

"Blood Slaughter God General?"

Lin Yan heard the commotion, turned to look, his pupils constricted, a storm of shock surging in his heart!

He had long suspected that the Blood Slaughter God General might have entered this ancient relic.

But he never imagined that the Blood Slaughter God General was actually lurking beneath the Golden Bridge, within the Abyss!

In the short time they had not seen each other, the Blood Slaughter God General, who was originally about a zhang tall, had grown to a hundred zhang in height!

Before Lin Yan could react again, he saw the halberd had already severed the Golden Bridge behind them!

He felt the bridge under his feet, which seemed to have turned into illusory clouds, bringing a sudden sensation of weightlessness and falling.

Lv Tang instinctively threw himself at Lin Yan’s feet.

Clearly, even he, a peak Martial Artist of the Refining Essence Realm, couldn’t stand steady or stabilize his form as the bridge broke.

Lin Yan instinctively deployed his True Qi, grabbing Han Commander ahead of everyone else.

Boom!!!

In that moment, the Golden Bridge instantly collapsed, turned into countless specks of golden light, and vanished in an instant!

All beings on the bridge, humans, demons, evil spirits, and bizarre creatures... all plummeted into the Abyss below.

A proud howl rose!

Among the demons, a giant eagle took flight, its wings stirring up furious winds, trying to forcibly fly to the opposite shore!

But its wings flapped frantically, yet its body continued to plummet!

It was as if an invisible giant hand were dragging it down... feathers flying and scattering downward.

The God General swung his halberd and broke the Golden Bridge, and all those above fell into the depths of the Abyss, without exception!

——

Meanwhile, at this end of the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge.

One could see this man dressed in green, hands clasped behind his back, his face showing a trace of emotion.

"Great Young Master, had you not stopped me for a moment, I would have been on the Golden Bridge and fallen down with the rest," said an elder, full of dread.

"You, my elder, taught me much in my early years, almost like a master; how could I let you come to harm?" The Great Young Master said with a smile.

"How did the Sect Hierarch know that the appearance of the Golden Bridge would inevitably lead to it being severed by a god general?" the elder asked in a low voice.

"That nameless Blood Slaughter God General and the evil spirit transformed by the old farmer fell into the Abyss in a struggle," he explained.

The Great Young Master slowly said, "Before entering the ancient relic, I had already clarified the Blood Slaughter God General’s method of growth... The evil spirit transformed by the old farmer was surely devoured by him!"

The elder’s face still pale with fear, whispered, "That Blood Slaughter God General is too terrifying!"

The Great Young Master nodded slightly, saying, "Of course terrifying, His stature may be comparable to Lord Qingling..."

"Now that the Golden Bridge is broken, all those fellows on it have no way out," the elder said in a low voice.

"Not necessarily."

The Great Young Master shook his head slightly, saying, "I had also hoped that they had no way out..."

"First, it killed many strong members of the Human Clan in Qifeng Prefecture!"

"Second, it purged those who defied the Sect Hierarch amidst the Tribulation Ash."

"Third, with these powerful demons perishing, the nights in Qifeng Prefecture will probably be peaceful for the next ten years," he concluded.

Sighing, the Great Young Master said, "Sadly, although the Golden Bridge is broken, there might still be a way out below..."

"No matter what, we of the Tribulation Ash have won this time," the elder said emotionally, "Lu Changsheng from Qifeng Prefecture forced us to destroy the Pure Lands and unveil the ancient relics, so what? The Great Young Master’s strategy has instead helped the Sect Hierarch cleanse our ranks of disloyal elements, a triple gain!"

"Lu Changsheng... no, that’s not right..."

Suddenly pausing, the Great Young Master had an epiphany, his face a mix of shock and anger, he stepped forward and gritted his teeth, "No, no, we crossed the Golden Bridge in the past and faced a dead end ahead..."

"If Lu Changsheng forced us to destroy the Pure Lands and reveal the ancient relics, he must not be entirely ignorant about them!"

"This Blood Slaughter God General, his arrival was already odd!"

"Below..."

The face of the candidate for the first God-son of the Tribulation Ash changed unpredictably, "Below... is that the real path to meet Lord Qingling?"
