Chapter 269: Chapter 192: Great Elder, Dare to Fight or Not?_2

"Perhaps there is no need to scale the cliff; the Divine Palace might not be above." The woman from Coastal City said somberly.

"What do you mean?" Master Shen hesitated slightly.

"The Divine Palace might be beneath the Golden Bridge, within the Abyss." The woman replied.

"How can you tell?" Master Shen couldn’t help but express his surprise, "I remember that you have been involved in the Tribulation Ash for many years, but you have always stayed within the city and have never entered this ancient site."

"Even though I have not entered the ancient site, a woman’s thoughts tend to be more meticulous." The woman said slowly, "This time, on the outskirts of the ancient site, it seemed as though the humans from various cities had the upper hand... But in the end, the situation with the humans who appeared in the new villages built by the old citizens was very different from what was anticipated."

"Naturally, after all, our Tribulation Ash has explored the ruins for many years and has vast experience." Master Shen said slowly, "Therefore, the forces that reached the old civil new towns before the sun and moon rose together are surely from our Tribulation Ash side, and in greater numbers!"

"But the upper echelons of Qifeng Prefecture were well-prepared; it could be said that the emergence of this ancient site this time is the handiwork of Lu Changsheng and others. How could they have not anticipated this?" The woman said with a grave tone.

"So, you believe this change could be Qifeng Prefecture’s doing?" Master Shen pondered aloud.

"It’s hard to say, but all of us fell into the Abyss below... yet that Blood Slaughter God General previously consumed all the demons and evil spirits in the Abyss, allowing us to survive by chance."

The woman paused, then continued, "To be precise, eliminating the evil spirits in the depths of the Abyss should only be to ensure the survival of those chosen by Qifeng Prefecture! But, Master Shen, you were also above the Golden Bridge... which is why you survived as well!"

Upon hearing this, Master Shen mused, "Putting it that way, the Blood Slaughter God General did indeed harbor greater malice towards the demons, evil spirits, and completely uncontrollable cultivators!"

Most of those slain by the Blood Slaughter God General were demons, with a portion being uncontrollable powerful beings from the Tribulation Ash.

But the pure members of the Human Clan suffered fewer deaths and injuries.

That is to say, after falling from the Golden Bridge into the Abyss, those sent by Qifeng Prefecture were the side that suffered the least harm.

"Did we fall into the Abyss to weaken the Tribulation Ash, as well as to eradicate demons and reduce the disadvantage of the Human Clan?"

Master Shen pondered, "By doing so, is it meant to maintain balance, or even to make the Human Clan the most powerful force here?"

"No!"

The woman said, "Combining the records of explorations of the ancient site within our Tribulation Ash, the path following the Golden Bridge can almost be called a dead end!"

Her tone became icy as she continued, "If my deductions are not wrong, the Divine Palace is likely below the Abyss, perhaps... it fell from above during the calamity back then."

"If that’s the case, there’s indeed no need to climb the cliff but to explore beneath the cliff first."

Master Shen thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few strong individuals here who, if they survived the pursuit of the Blood Slaughter God General, would certainly discern the direction and converge in one place!"

Converging ahead naturally means attempting to scale the cliff to ascend to the Divine Palace!

But if it’s as speculated this time, then upon reaching the bottom of the cliff, the fallen Divine Palace would be seen.

"There’s no time to waste! Let’s go!"

Master Shen called out, "Before falling from the Golden Bridge, it seems Lord White Dragon also hurried over; his tier might be one below me, but that’s only because Master Chen suppressed him!"

"In terms of capability, Lord White Dragon is not inferior to me, and his visit to the ancient site must be to vie with me for the ’Divine Blessing!’"

"Moreover, we must not underestimate the people of the Human Clan from Qifeng Prefecture, as well as those demons."

"If I obtain the town object this time, I will dispose of the City Captain of Coastal City for you and place your foster father’s head before you," Master Shen said earnestly.

But then he heard the woman say chillingly, "I want the whole Coastal City to turn into ruins, everyone dead!"

----

Beneath the cliff ahead.

The Great Elder of the Tribulation Ash writhed forward.

"The hall lies ahead; its doors are tightly closed and have not been opened."

"With years of exploration by our Tribulation Ash, there’s more than one entrance to the Divine Palace, but this hall door here is the closest to Lord Qingling’s main hall."

"This door among the ruins belongs to the ’Moon Gate’; therefore, to open this hall, there should be nine offerings with corresponding fates."

Around the Great Elder of the Tribulation Ash, thousands of tendrils quivered, and all eyes turned towards Lin Yan.

"Although there are no offerings here, the Chen Long token contains the essence of moonlight and can substitute for the nine offerings!"

The Great Elder of the Tribulation Ash said out loud, "You hold the token and step forward, and you will be able to open this door and obtain the supreme town object! In our generation of Tribulation Ash, having such a talent is truly a blessing! I am fortunate to have brought you here to seize this opportunity, fulfilling the desire of my heart, and it is not in vain that I received the Divine Blessing!"

"Such an opportunity should belong to the Great Elder!"

Lin Yan stepped forward and said with a formal air, "I am too inexperienced; how would I have the right to contend for the supreme town object?"

"No matter! I have always cherished talent; the Human Clan’s power is great today, and our Tribulation Ash can only dwell within various cities or reside within the Pure Land, merely eking out an existence. We need a talent like you to rejuvenate our power, carry forth the intent of the True God, and crush the cities far and wide!"

The Great Elder of the Tribulation Ash writhed to the side, thousands of tendrils ominously watching: "Take the Chen Long token, push the door open, and you shall succeed..."

"Since that is the case, I won’t hold back any further."

Lin Yan revealed a look of joy and gave a deep greeting.

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash, upon receiving this greeting, all the eyes on the thousands of tentacles that covered his body were filled with delight.

"How can Wu Chang be so rude!"

At this moment, Lv Tang shouted loudly, "The token should rightly be handed to the Great Elder. Even if he himself declines... it should still be he who leads the way, to guide us!"

"Nonsense!"

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash, furious to the extreme, all his tentacles turned to look, and he barked, "Is it your turn to speak?"

"Then is it my turn?"

Suddenly, Lin Yan, who had been bowing in a greeting, abruptly rose, and in an instant, swung his blade!

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

He used all his True Qi, making a full-powered strike!

Even the power within his palm, from the Little White Ape and the Little Venerate, was drawn out at this moment, pouring into this one strike!

"You dare!!!"

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash abruptly became enraged, and blood filled all his eyes.

A barrier of blood-red True Qi instantly formed in front of him!

However, hastily raised, it seemed as fragile as paper and was torn apart in an instant!

The blade struck true upon his body!

With a splashing noise!

This mass of rotting evil spirit was severed!

Red blood mixed with copious amounts of pus sprayed out!

"He’s not dead!"

Han Commander took action at this moment.

The first tier of the Thunder Blade, suddenly unleashed!

Thunder exploded!

Then saw that heavily injured Great Elder, cut in half yet again by his blade!

Boom!!!

Out from that pool of rotting flesh burst a great surge of energy!

That energy was originally the True Qi cultivated by the Great Elder over his lifetime, but at this moment, it had become the extremely odd evil energy!

Anyone tainted would be as if possessed by an evil spirit!

"The gap in cultivation is too great; even with the Demon Suppression Divine Power, it couldn’t be bridged! He was originally at the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm, but now having turned into a physical body evil spirit, he has broken the bodily meridian constraints, nearly exceeding the bounds of what is normal for the Qi Refining Realm!"

Lin Yan’s heart trembled, as he saw that overwhelming evil energy sweeping towards him.

"Aren’t you leaving quickly?"

Han Commander used all his strength in a slash, eliminating the incoming evil energy and yelled, "We will hold off this old ghost; you leave first, and we’ll follow soon after!"

"Don’t worry!"

Lv Tang shouted, "Having cultivated for many years, we each have our own life-saving methods..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yan had already turned and fled, without the slightest hesitation!

This left Lv Tang, who was ready to further persuade, stunned for a moment.

"He left just like that?"

Lv Tang and Han Zheng exchanged glances, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, laughing heartily as they each used their techniques, ready to stake their lives in holding back the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash!

But no sooner had they faced off, vast waves of evil energy poured forth, and both Han Zheng and Lv Tang were already showing signs of defeat.

But all they needed was to delay for a brief moment, as with Lin Yan’s cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, he could escape far away!

Unexpectedly, just at this moment, Lin Yan’s voice came from not too far away!

"Great Elder, this one here will use all my skills, would you dare to come and battle?"
