Chapter 322: Chapter 227 The Mountain Rain is Coming, The Wind Fills The Building_2

This young man spoke in a hushed voice, "Moreover, for the Human Clan to produce a Venerate in the Refining God Realm is tantamount to Qifeng Prefecture establishing another pillar that upholds the heavens! It is only right for you to be a pillar of the Human Clan, to guard and protect it!"

"If that is the case, why doesn’t the Great City Guard, who has a closer relationship with Mr. Lu, go there personally instead of Vice Deputy Governor Gu?"

Vice City Governor Gu slowly said, "Do you think by handing over the entire City Guard Mansion to me, it was merely to prevent me from going to witness Mr. Lu’s escalation to the Refining God Realm? Although I have not been in High Willow City for long, that Great City Guard’s breadth of mind and depth of schemes are far superior to mine..."

His expression indifferent, he said, "Stand our ground and watch quietly to see what movements arise from all quarters!"

——

The five major families of the inner city, all the venerable ancestors, had already gathered.

"That Mr. Lu has already sealed the courtyard."

"I heard it’s not the first time."

"After the last courtyard sealing, the Observatory Tower took great interest, and this time, it was noticed immediately."

"He has stayed at this step for a long time now, his disciples have taken the step of Qi Refining and God Transformation ahead of him, which must have provided him with experience."

"No, according to what Deputy Vice Governor Shi revealed before, his eldest disciple, Lu Changsheng, had already severed ties with him."

"Afterward, Lu Changsheng successfully achieved the Refining God Realm, and Mr. Lu was demoted back to High Willow City."

"It seems he too has found the path of Qi Refining and God Transformation. Could it be that Brother Liu’s method for ascending to the Refining God Realm, which he imparted just before he died, gave him some enlightenment?"

"The last time Brother Liu died, but the Magic Method of refining the Yin God brought us much enlightenment."

"If today we could witness the situation in Linjiang Square, it would greatly benefit us."

"Speaking of which, our ages are similar, differing by just about ten years. We’ve all reached the end. In recent years, if we can’t transform through Qi Refining, we are bound to perish one after another."

"Having sealed the courtyard, he clearly does not wish us to approach. What should be done?"

The atmosphere in the place fell silent for a long while.

Perhaps, each individual had their plans.

But nobody wished to disclose them to others.

——

In the outer city, several figures gathered together.

"Recently, the Observatory has been striking down harshly, leaving only a few of us in the city. Unless necessary, we should avoid gathering. Then why send a secret message again?"

"The former temple priest of the Wutong Temple attempted Qi Refining and God Transformation, he was most wary of my kind, Tribulation Ash. We must not let him succeed!"

"But in High Willow City, our manpower has nearly been wiped clean, how should we proceed?"

"We must bring in external forces!"

"Lately, the families jointly dispatched forces to exterminate the demons and evil spirits outside the city, with heavy casualties, but many demons and evils were cleared. Where can we find external forces now?"

"Of course, there are! Neither inside nor outside the city is monolithic. People’s hearts change, and there are countless plots; you just need to find the lead thread, and pulling it will unravel a whole heap!"

"What should we do then?"

"The Sect Hierarch has gone to Residual Prison Mansion, the Vice Sect Hierarch will personally prepare, and we need to assist!"

"Which Vice Sect Hierarch?"

"It is none other than Gao Hao, the former Great City Guard of Li City, who faked his death and escaped ten years ago. Before the Sect Hierarch left for Residual Prison Mansion, he appointed him as the Vice Sect Hierarch!"

——

Outside of Qifeng Prefecture City, in the Pure Land.

"Is the visitor a disciple of the Holy Land Envoy?"

"I am Gui Jiu, my master is indeed the Holy Land Envoy."

The newcomer, a young man with a solemn expression, asked, "What matter is so urgent?"

It was already nightfall.

To deliver this message, twelve Cultivators had rushed on their way.

Along the way, nine Cultivators were devoured by stronger evil spirits or demons en route.

After such complexities, the message finally arrived, meeting here in this Pure Land.

"Mr. Lu has begun Qi Refining and God Transformation."

"What?"

Gui Jiu’s expression changed, he spoke in a low voice, "Really?"

The man spoke in a low voice, "It should be true. Those two times the courtyard was sealed, apart from Qi Refining and God Transformation, there’s nothing else worthy of such a spectacle! It’s said that the Great Temple Priest of Liu Venerate Temple himself said it, so it’s almost definite!"

"Fine, I’ll immediately relay the message and return to the Prefecture City."

Gui Jiu thus spoke, saying, "You should take your ancestors and leave first..."

The Cultivator bowed in greeting, then promptly exited the Pure Land, picked up the wooden box beside the cave, and activated the evil spirit inside to protect himself.

He entered into the darkness of the night.

Then a flash of cold light streaked across the darkness.

The Cultivator groaned, along with the guardian evil spirit around him, both instantly went silent.

While Gui Jiu lowered the crossbow in his hands, he spoke in a low voice, "This man was banished from the Prefecture City because of his master. If he succeeds in Qi Refining and God Transformation, his master will definitely be punished by the Holy Land!"

——

To the north of Coastal City.

To head further north would be to leave the boundaries of Qifeng Prefecture.

There, stood a young man, upright, holding a sword in his hands.

The sword glowed faintly.

The man’s eyes gradually emitted a light.

The sword was the true entity, the man merely a shell.

This was the Sword Lord!

Since the incident at the ancient site, He had switched to a new shell.

"In High Willow City, I, Tribulation Ash, suffered heavy losses. I heard that the Liu Family and various forces were cleansed several times,"

Lord White Dragon laughed slightly and said, "And outside the city, various parties made joint efforts, purging the demons and evils a hundred miles outside the city. It now seems that all this was preparation for Mr. Lu’s Qi Refining and God Transformation, clearing everything and making full preparations!"

The Sword Lord, with a calm expression, said, "What concern of mine is this?"

Lord White Dragon did not answer directly, only responding, "The one trying Qi Refining and God Transformation was formerly the temple priest most valued by the Wutong Divine Mother!"

"His direct disciple has also become the Great Temple Priest of the Wutong Temple."

"Now, if he is to ascend to the Refining God Realm, another major pillar will be added to the humans within the city!"

"Master Chen knows, among the nine town objects in the ancient site, one fell into your hands."
