Chapter 413: Chapter 278: The Divine Bow Related to Duke Murky Spirit

All matters of the Three Gods Valley had already been taken care of by various factions of the Human Clan.

Mr. Lu himself was the temple priest of the Wutong Temple in Qifeng Prefecture City, holding a position of high status and wide connections.

Now that he had reached the Refining God Realm, his significance had only increased.

Together with Lin Yan’s importance as the strongest of his generation, surpassing even the talents of Li Shen Sect, perhaps he would soon be the foremost powerhouse of Qifeng Prefecture’s Human Clan.

The battle at Three Gods Valley, where two Great Divine Venerables were slain and the Ape God Venerate fled severely wounded, had already spread far and wide.

Even the upper echelons of the Human Clan could no longer underestimate this group.

Originally, it was thought that Mr. Lu was merely a temple priest who had just entered the Refining God Realm, and not on par with those who entered this realm through martial practice.

Originally, it was thought that Lin Yan was merely at the Qi Refining Realm, relying on some skills to be able to slay the Daluo Immortal Body’s Evil Spirit.

But this battle showed that the Great Divine Venerable was truly a monstrous and evil being, who genuinely fell in this fight.

"In the Qi Refinement Realm, there are not many people who can stand against you," Mr. Lu said from the carriage, reflecting, "For the vast majority of the Human Clan, reaching the Refining Essence Realm is already an insurmountable feat, but in your hands, they fall to a single stroke... In a short period, you have also reached a position near the peak."

"That Great Divine Venerable, almost transcending the tier, armed with the Divine Bow, and even our master defeated it. Not to speak of invincibility within the Refining God Realm, within the Qi Refining Realm, he should have no opponents now." Little White Ape said, "Why does Mr. Lu speak as if there is still someone in the same realm who can stand shoulder to shoulder with our master?"

"Not shoulder to shoulder."

Lin Yan said calmly and slowly, "Just now, the Supreme Commander of Qifeng Prefecture City’s Sky Observation Department, who is also at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, likely possesses combat power slightly higher than mine... The town object within him, from the era of the Old Gods, is also of an extremely high tier!"

Mr. Lu chuckled and gently stroked his beard, remarking, "The intuition of a Martial Artist is indeed a terrifying power."

For someone like Lin Yan who had refined his skills to this extent, intuition was truly formidable—foreseeing the autumn from a single leaf.

Then Mr. Lu looked at Lin Yan and expressed, "I worried that after defeating two Great Divine Venerables, pride and self-satisfaction might fill your mind, causing you to regard the powerful entities of the Human Clan and those monstrous evils lightly... Now, it seems your original intention remains unchanged."

"I’m not a sage, nor am I devoid of pride."

Lin Yan, mounted on the Jiao Lin horse, spoke slowly, "In this battle, Mr. Lu consumed mana, and Little White Ape, holding a long halberd, restrained both the Ape and Hawk God Venerates."

"Mr. Lu’s mana was then used upstream and downstream to block off, making it difficult for the Great Divine Venerable to escape."

"Lastly, it was Lv Tang who seized the Divine Bow, and my elder brother used a treasure from the Netherworld to block it for a moment."

"Without support, I would have had a hard time winning, at least... defeating the Great Divine Venerable would indeed have been impossible!"

"Yet in this battle..."

Lin Yan paused before saying, "Ultimately, it was my ability to suppress worldly Evil Spirits that played a role!"

If the Great Divine Venerable wasn’t an Evil Spirit, the Demon Suppression Divine Power would have been of minimal use.

But Lin Yan had perfected his Five Mountains Dragon Capture, unleashing its formidable power, on par with those who acquired town objects in the Qi Refining Realm.

Combined with the power of the Xingxi Blade, he wouldn’t even be inferior to a powerful Martial Artist who had just entered the Refining God Realm.

Yet he knew that the defeat of the Three Gods Valley wasn’t solely his own achievement.

It was Mr. Lu, Lv Tang, Lin Lei, and Little White Ape all making concerted efforts to assist.

The Supreme Commander of Qifeng Prefecture City’s Sky Observation Department might not necessarily be stronger than the Great Divine Venerable.

But Lin Yan, who possessed the Demon Suppression Divine Power, could defeat the Great Divine Venerable, yet might not be able to defeat the Supreme Commander.

"The Supreme Commander, once attacked by a great demon, was clawed from behind, breaking his spine and sustaining severe injuries, becoming a cripple and nearly dying. Falling into the Forbidden Land, he managed to find an opportunity..."

Mr. Lu slowly said, "In the Forbidden Land, an object merged into his body, becoming his spine, harboring Divine Power!"

Upon saying this, Mr. Lu added, "The Supreme Commander appears to be in his sixties, but actually, he is over a hundred years old."

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows but did not respond.

"You, not yet twenty, have already approached his hundred years of Cultivation and the shocking opportunities he obtained."

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "Ultimately, he isn’t in the Refining God Realm, and his lifespan is nearing its end."

"Is he about to lose control?" Lin Lei inevitably asked.

"No, he is purely old." Mr. Lu sighed, "This opportunity of his, though extraordinary, is meant to be passed to the next Supreme Commander of Qifeng Prefecture."

"Does Mr. Lu wish for this young man to take over?" Lv Tang looked incredulous.

"What I wish for is actually not important, what matters is what the Supreme Commander thinks." Mr. Lu slowly said, "Originally, it was supposed to be the Deputy Commander’s responsibility to handle the affairs of Three Gods Valley... But the Supreme Commander personally coming here clearly shows he is willing to give you an opportunity."

"Is he very impressive?" Little White Ape couldn’t help but ask.

"Back then he was gravely injured, almost losing control, his body began to revolt." Mr. Lu said, "With this spinal object, his combat capability is comparable to the Refining God, and now having lived for over a hundred years, unaffected by the alien True Qi within his body, shows not the slightest sign of losing control..."

"With this town object, not only can he become stronger, but he even can fend off the signs of losing control?" Lin Lei whispered, "This..."

"This is a rare and invaluable treasure."

Mr. Lu said, "For the Human Clan’s Cultivators, the stronger their Cultivation, the more they are affected by eerie influences... Those in the Refining Essence Realm easily lose control, those in the Qi Refining Realm are even more likely to lose control, and those in the Refining God Realm face even greater risks of losing control!"

"The Human Clan needs powerful beings to sustain the continuation of the race and to protect the livelihood of the masses."
