Chapter 341: Chapter 238: With This Sword, I Slay the God in My Heart! [Monthly Tickets! Subscribe!]

On the southern outskirts of Linjiang Square.

The Willow Venerable Roots broke through the earth, flipping the land and toppling houses, chasing after Lin Yan.

And Lin Yan headed towards the city gates, fleeing in desperation.

The roots, like dragons, followed closely behind.

"Insane!"

The elder who was once the head disciple of the temple, bursting with anger, stomped his foot and cursed, "What is he trying to do?"

"He doesn’t want to bring disaster to the entire Linjiang Square!"

The Commander, after all, understood Lin Yan’s temperament and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "This also shows that he indeed hasn’t been implanted with the Tribulation Ashes!"

"What do we do now?" the elder asked aloud.

"Since Liu Shen is targeting him, let’s follow his wishes."

The Commander immediately sheathed his sword, grabbed the elder’s arm, and said in a deep voice, "We have no use for this altar in the house anymore..."

"As long as the task is accomplished, it doesn’t matter where one dies."

The elder suddenly laughed, saying, "Let’s go!"

The Commander, carrying the elder, rushed towards the city gate to the south.

Meanwhile, at Mr. Lu’s small courtyard.

Han Zheng and Lv Tang looked at each other.

"Otherwise, how about I give you this fierce weapon to help Wu Chang?" Lv Tang suddenly suggested.

"Mr. Lu’s place can’t afford any mishaps either." Han Zheng shook his head and said, "The concealed members of the Tribulation Burning Sect and those old fellows who are trying to use Mr. Lu’s Refining God event for their own ends, are troublesome to deal with. We cannot give them any opportunity! Without the fierce weapon, neither you nor I can protect Mr. Lu!"

"Why did he come back?"

Lv Tang’s expression was complicated as he spoke in a low voice, "I thought he could protect himself once he left the city, but who knew that the enemy would be so easily defeated, and Wu Chang returned so quickly!"

"What exactly is the real scheme tonight?"

Han Zheng suddenly spoke up, looking at Lv Tang, "Why does the last step involve Liu Venerate?"

Lv Tang fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don’t know the specifics of the plan, but, when Mr. Lu was stripped of his temple priest role and chose to return to High Willow City, it was from the beginning for Liu Venerate!"

"For today?"

Han Zheng’s breathing faltered, his heart sinking.

However, the southern city gate had already been blasted open in a large section.

Fortunately, the retreat of various powerful figures had caused the City Defense Army to avoid the area early on, and there were no casualties for the time being.

At this moment, Lin Yan had reached the outside of the city.

The Willow Venerable Roots, still like Jiaolong dragons, followed closely behind; the earth bulged and shattered!

"No escaping it!"

Lin Yan looked at the three to five li distance outside the city, where the bulging rocks and earth formed continuous hillocks blocking the originally flat road ahead.

And the land beneath his feet also suddenly collapsed.

The undulating earth clamped him at the waist down, trapping him in the crevice.

Boom!

Lin Yan once again unleashed the Golden Body Divine Power.

Then, he added all of his Evil Qi on top of his cultivation.

Next, he tightened his grip on the Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade and took a deep breath.

The root trailing behind him, as thick as a bucket and as imposing as a dragon, was already close at hand!

But this time, the root didn’t immediately attack Lin Yan.

Instead, as light flickered, the tip of the root slowly unfurled.

Then, countless tendrils extended from within.

At an extremely slow pace, they began to converge toward Lin Yan once again.

It seemed to want to re-encase Lin Yan into a cocoon.

"Something’s not right..."

Previously, Lin Yan had barely managed to hold his ground with the Golden Body Divine Power.

With the help of the Gold of the red-clad woman, he was able to break out of the cocoon.

But at this moment, Lin Yan had an intuition—although Liu Shen seemed to be using the same tactic, the speed at which it approached had slowed.

Upon closer observation, those countless threads appeared to be arranged in a "special" pattern!

When Liu Shen attacked once more, it would certainly not be the same as before!

The Golden Body Divine Power might not withstand it!

"If my Golden Body can’t withstand it either, and the myriad threads enter my body, then from that point on..."

Lin Yan inward thought, "I probably qualify to inherit the position of the next Tribulation Burning Sect Leader!"

He had always harbored great suspicions about the origin of Tribulation Ash.

But he had never imagined that the source would be Liu Venerate.

To be more precise, as someone born in High Willow City, he did not dare to contemplate that the source would be Liu Venerate.

Only after witnessing tonight’s events did he finally let go of his last bit of wishful thinking.

The seeds of Tribulation Ash!

The source of disaster!

Originated from Liu Venerate!

Lin Yan gripped the blade in his hand, his eyes becoming resolute, and he said with conviction, "Then bring it on!"

——

In the southwest direction of High Willow City.

The garrison commander from the Observatory had climbed over the city wall and headed outside the city.

He was the garrison commander from the Observatory who had taken the initiative to let the tenth temple priest identify Wu Chang, allowing Wu Chang to enter the city.

Just now, as Wu Chang fled southward and the Willow Venerable Roots followed closely behind.

All the powerful characters, upon witnessing this, could not help but feel fear and hastily fled to both sides.

They hadn’t expected that he would actually escape High Willow City and head directly west.

"Zhu Qi, what a pity to give up your hard-earned position as the garrison commander and flee like this."

Just then, a voice came from ahead.

"Who is it?"

This Mr. Zhu, the garrison commander, turned pale and looked to the side.

A man in a white robe emerged from behind a rock.

"Master Chen, when did you return?"

"Since the Sect Hierarch took over the matters of the Residual Prison Mansion, naturally I returned."

"Has it been accomplished?"

"It has."

Master Chen nodded slightly and said, "You escaped quickly."

Zhu Qi said in a low voice, "Previously, I took the opportunity to speak, allowing the temple priest of the tenth temple to confirm my identity early, enabling Wu Chang to return to the city ahead of time, thus leading to the current situation! But when they investigate back in the city, I’m afraid I won’t be able to deceive the Commander, nor that Mr. Lu..."

Master Chen did not express agreement or disagreement, just looked towards the direction of the south gate and slowly said, "If this is successful, you’ll be the chief contributor."

Zhu Qi said in a low voice, "Did you come here to bring him back, Master Chen?"

Chen Long, the leader of the Twelve Phases of the Tribulation Ash, remained serene.

"The number one prodigy of the Human Clan from Qifeng Prefecture, no, to be precise, he has already become a top-notch powerhouse."

"To have such outstanding talent within the Tribulation Ash, our great cause may be achieved in the future."

"Such a person, even if his identity is exposed and he can no longer stay hidden within the city, is still the pillar of our Tribulation Ash, the hope for the future!"

"We cannot allow him, who has just joined the Tribulation Ash, to be strangled on the spot by High Willow City!"

"So, I have come here to save him."

Chen Long, with hands clasped behind his back, said, "Once the will of the True God is infused into his body, we can take him away."

Zhu Qi hesitated and said, "This Wu Chang is young, but extremely capable, with endless tricks up his sleeve, and his True Qi seems inexhaustible... What’s more terrifying is that there’s not the slightest trace of being influenced by foreign True Qi!"

"He has killed countless people, yet he has not been influenced by the intent to slaughter, showing no signs of losing control!"

"Just now, when he turned to leave the city, he still regarded the lives of the common people as extremely important, which shows his determination!"

"The Venerate has already failed once."

After hesitating, Zhu Qi continued, "Without years of influence, to turn his will around in just one night and make him one of our Tribulation Ash, is likely to be difficult."

"The Venerate is supreme, not to be questioned by you!"

Master Chen turned his head, his eyes suddenly showing a murderous intent as he said coldly, "Had you not made a merit tonight, I would tear you apart right now!"

Zhu Qi’s face changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down, trembling all over, not daring to utter another word.

Master Chen then withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "Wu Chang is a native of High Willow City, where Liu Venerate is the heaven and earth, the parents! Let alone resisting, facing the pressure of the True God today, he does not even have the conviction to draw his blade!"

----

Those born in High Willow City have known, ever since they can remember, that Liu Venerate is the sole guardian god of High Willow City, supreme above all!

From the time they were aware, every household in the city offered sacrifices to Liu Venerate during the holidays.

As they grew up, they were even more aware of the weirdness of the night and understood the achievements of Liu Venerate.

Without the existence of Liu Venerate, High Willow City would not have been established, and the people within the city would not have a way to live.

Many generations of High Willow City’s citizens have been able to pass down their lineage and prosper, all depending on the protection of Liu Venerate.

And the faith in Liu Venerate has also been passed down among these generations of the Human Clan, from one generation to the next.

Liu Venerate is the heaven and earth, the parents, the faith in the hearts of the city’s people!

No one dares to disrespect Liu Venerate!

Even less dare to draw a sword against Liu Venerate!

"This is a great sin against the heavens..."

Lin Yan sighed and gripped the blade in his hand.

He had memories of a past life, but after all, he was born in this life in High Willow City.

In reality, he had once drawn his blade against the roots of Liu Venerate before.

But in his heart, what he cut with that blade was the physical body of the Jiazi Great Year Venerate.

His blade back then was to help Liu Venerate free himself from the entanglement of Jiazi Great Year’s physical form.

But at this moment, what he faced were the true roots of Liu Venerate.

The Commander is a personage from Qifeng Prefecture, who worships the Wutong Divine Mother.

But Lin Yan, in this life, has worshipped Liu Venerate from childhood!

He took a deep breath, looking at the myriad of thin lines that had arrived in front of him, less than ten feet away.

Suddenly, with a slash, he swung forward!

At this moment, Lin Yan only had 3,600 strands of True Qi left in his body, and he had also lost the help of the Little White Ape.

Therefore, this slash was far less powerful than the one that killed the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Tribulation Burning Sect.

But Lin Yan still persisted in unleashing this strike of Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

The blade’s light was blood-red, and thunder exploded!

But within the thunder, a hoarse voice intermingled.

"This blade ought to slay immortals and butcher deities!"

It was Mr. Lu’s voice!

Lin Yan was startled.

He then saw the blade’s light move forward.

The myriad threads were severed in an instant.

The blade’s light fell upon the roots of Liu Venerate!

And saw that segment of the roots, cut down by the blade!

"Did I succeed?"

Lin Yan lowered his blade, his eyes complex.

This single slash had not only cut the Liu Venerate roots before him.

This slash had also cut the god in his heart!

An endless feeling of fatigue swept over him in an instant.

After a night of fierce battle, up until this point, with his True Qi exhausted, the fatigue from his physical body and the weariness from his spirit all erupted in that moment.

Boom!!!

The severed section of the roots had yet to hit the ground when it suddenly shattered, reducing to countless fine splinters.

This innumerable fine sawdust spontaneously combusted without fire!

An endless fireseed!

Heading towards Lin Yan!

This was the true Tribulation Ash fireseed!
