Chapter 284: Chapter 203: The New Master of the Blessed Land! Mr. Lu’s Decisive Action! [Three Updates!]_3

"The Li Shen Sect’s fishing tactics have become more and more exquisite," Mr. Lu said, then continued, "Your Commander, however, isn’t half bad either!"

"But when it comes to fishing, Mr. Lu isn’t willing to part with even a scrap of bait, let alone bend the hook..." the Commander said softly, "A straight hook can’t catch fish."

"Those three, in my heart, are not even bait!" Mr. Lu’s expression turned cold as he said, "I am even less of a hook, the thought of bending my back is pure folly!"

"It seems Mr. Lu has already decided to resist the will of the Holy Land," the Commander sighed, "You must understand, as the Holy Land Envoy sent to Qifeng Prefecture, every word and deed represents the Holy Land!"

"I figured someone would come tonight to persuade me, and I thought of many people, but I never expected that it would be you," Mr. Lu said, his gaze cold and tinged with anger.

"It’s not a matter of persuasion, but there are some things that I would like to discuss with you," the Commander said gravely, "What exactly do you plan to respond with, sir?"

"What do you think I will do?" asked Mr. Lu suddenly.

"Probably take a step back from both sides," the Commander pondered, then said, "From now on, Lv Tang and Han Zheng are to be imprisoned in the Forbidden Land."

"Then, what do you think this new Lord of Blessed Land will do?" asked Mr. Lu again.

"Given his temperament, he’s likely to draw his sword," the Commander laughed, but then his expression dimmed, he sighed, "It’s just a pity that from now on, he’ll be caged by a boundary, unable to leave... I really didn’t expect this ancient relic, unlike those of the past, that sublime town object actually bound him!"

"You think he’s caged by a boundary, but what if he could return?" Mr. Lu’s eyebrows raised.

"Oh?" the Commander frowned and asked, "What method does Mr. Lu have that after obtaining the sublime town object, he could leave the Blessed Land?"

"It’s not my method, it’s his own ability," Mr. Lu stated calmly.

"Even if he could come out, this matter..." the Commander shook his head slightly, "really shouldn’t have let this youngster step forward to offend the Holy Land Envoy."

"This time, the Envoy’s greatest concession is imprisonment," Mr. Lu sighed slowly, "Do you think Lin Yan will let them both be forever imprisoned in the Forbidden Land?"

"No," the Commander replied with a frown.

"Then do you think both Han Zheng and Lv Tang have committed any crimes?" Mr. Lu asked.

"No crime," the Commander said softly.

"And you still want to persuade me?" Mr. Lu said angrily, "You also know this new Lord of Blessed Land’s identity, if the person who wants to silence others includes you, what then?"

"Adding one more life to the toll, mine included, is not out of the question," the Commander nodded with a smile.

"You have lost an arm, and your life is thus diminished; you seem very carefree," Mr. Lu snorted, "But Han Zheng and Lv Tang are in their prime, they are the pillars of the next generation following you!"

"With the ancient relic in hand, it’s almost as if the Human Clan has gained another natural fortress, another powerful ’Guardian God’!"

The Commander shook his head slightly and said, "Moreover, the outside world currently believes that Lord Qingling is not dead, unaware that the ancient relic is already in our hands. As long as we conceal this information and plan for the future, we can devise a grand scheme, there is much that can be done, and we will surely deal a heavy blow to various formidable foes such as Tribulation Ash, demons, and evil spirits."

"From now on, everything involved is also related to the grand scheme of the Human Clan within Qifeng Prefecture, and in the long run, it concerns the survival of nearly a million people of the Human Clan. It is not something that the three of us can compare to in weight."

He looked at Mr. Lu with a serious expression and said, "Even in my prime, I would be willing to die for this cause!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu sneered and said, "You do have a stern heart to be willing to throw away your own life."

"One cannot be the leader of the Zhao Ye people without a stern heart."

The Commander laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Every Zhao Ye person chosen by me has essentially parted with ninety percent of their life! Through my hands, those sent outside the city, those Zhao Ye people, are already considered completely dead."

"Take Ji Baochang, for instance, even if he eradicates the Tribulation Ash in the future, his return is already impossible!"

"Everyone who is qualified to become one of the Zhao Ye people is among the most resolute and can be called the backbone of the Human Clan."

"I have sent away too many people like that, and actually, I too look forward to the day someone sends me to death."

"However, my willingness to die is my own affair! Neither Han Zheng nor Lv Tang belongs to the Zhao Ye people, their lives are not under my control!"

The Commander gazed at the northern sky and said, "But Mr. Lu should know one thing, as far as the Holy Land is concerned, when it comes to the grand scheme, whether it’s me, Han Zheng, or Lv Tang, none of us matter!"

Mr. Lu gave him a deep look, walked to the side, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"If we don’t matter, what about Wu Chang?"

"As the Lord of Blessed Land, he is naturally very important!"

"But Wu Chang will not tolerate this matter, be it killing or imprisonment!"

"Mr. Lu seems to have forgotten that in the eyes of the Holy Land, although he is important, he is just a powerful prisoner!" The Commander spoke solemnly, "At least, he poses no threat to the existence of the Holy Land."

"You have been to the Holy Land and know them better, what are they really like?" Mr. Lu asked after a moment of silence.

"The Holy Land is not a monolith, the powers within are actually very complex!"

"Most people in the Holy Land are just like us cultivators! Like that Envoy, he will become angry due to Mr. Lu’s public criticism, and within his authority, he will make things difficult for you."

"But I suspect that the highest echelons of the Holy Land have even lost their ability to feel joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, sealing away all emotions and desires!"

"As the high tiers of the Holy Land, they mostly share a common understanding that, for the grand scheme of survival of the Human Clan, they will eliminate all hidden dangers by any means necessary, regardless of personal feelings, weighing only pros and cons, without concern for good or evil!"

The Commander paused, then continued, "After Wu Chang became the new ruler of the Blessed Land, his importance has far exceeded that of the Qi Refining Realm’s Deputy City Governor of Phoenix Mansion City! Tonight, people from the Holy Land have already approached him, and if this Qi Refining Realm peak Deputy City Governor is unwilling to let go of the vendetta, he will be killed just the same!"

He reached out to touch his severed arm and spoke softly, "This is the reason I came to see Mr. Lu tonight!"
