Chapter 446: Chapter 294 Please Behead Me!_2

The highest authority of East Mountain Prefecture took three steps back, then knelt down on both knees, bowed in prostration, his forehead touching the ground.

After three kneels and nine kowtows, the East Mountain Prefecture Master stood up and said, "I cannot seal it for thousands of years, but sealing it for several decades should not be a problem."

"After my death, please Brother Lu convey all of this back to East Mountain Prefecture."

"East Mountain Prefecture has never lacked brave souls willing to face death, when this flesh and blood body is of no more use, successors will definitely take over my position."

"Until one day, when the Human Clan becomes strong, no longer fears the eerie night, and can eradicate the source of this calamity."

Having said this, the East Mountain Prefecture Master advanced, and said in a low voice, "The younger generation wishes to enter the palace, reverse the Formation, follow in the footsteps of the predecessors, and block off the Forbidden Land... My apologies!"

As his voice fell, he gathered Mana in both hands, attempting to pry open the palms of the Divine Bone.

However, the skeleton did not budge an inch.

Just as the East Mountain Prefecture Master was about to forcibly prying them apart, he suddenly let out a muffled groan.

"Step back!"

Mr. Lu pulled him away, saying, "Sixty years ago, frequent anomalies began occurring in the Forbidden Land, causing harm to East Mountain Prefecture, and around that time, ’someone’ cut off this head, weakening the seal!"

"Therefore, this portal can no longer be completely closed, creating a slight gap."

"But after cutting off the head and opening a crack in the Yin Yang Bureau, they were not able to open it entirely."

"Perhaps they aren’t unwilling to move the corpse and fully open the gates of the Yin Yang Bureau, but can only create a small gap."

"If you forcibly move this corpse, you’ll surely suffer backlash."

With Mr. Lu’s words,

the East Mountain Prefecture Master’s expression slightly darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Have we come all this way, only to be stopped by this corpse at the final step, achieving nothing?"

"This gate cannot be opened?"

Lv Tang stepped forward, taking a sharp breath, and said softly, "Then how did Wu Chang and the others get out from here?"

"There is only one way."

Mr. Lu fell silent for a moment, then said, "Making good the head, with a complete body to release the hands, obtaining the foundation of the Formation, and then resealing it!"

The East Mountain Prefecture Master asked, "How to make good?"

Mr. Lu did not respond, falling silent again.

Realizing something, the East Mountain Prefecture Master slowly said, "I was originally here to meet my death."

"Grafting!"

Mr. Lu sighed and said, "This Divine Bone is far more useful than your flesh and blood! With your Primordial Spirit intact, and starkly more vitality than ordinary people, your head, once removed and placed upon it, might just work..."

"Might?" The East Mountain Prefecture Master frowned deeply.

"I am not completely sure," Mr. Lu remarked.

"..." The East Mountain Prefecture Master fell into silence.

"No!" The Refining Essence Realm elder spoke up, "We can die here, but we cannot die in vain! If there’s no assurance, to have our own people beheaded and if afterward it’s useless, wouldn’t that be a meaningless death?"

"Let’s give it a try!" The East Mountain Prefecture Master said sternly, "You are a temple priest of Wutong Temple, serving beside Wutong Divine Mother, having also received her guidance!"

"In today’s world, within the lands of the Three Prefectures of the Human Clan, when it comes to understanding the ’Old Gods’, there are surely no more than a handful who surpass you!"

"I have also heard that at Qifeng Prefecture, they took a branch from Liu Venerate of High Willow City and managed to plant it anew, allowing it to survive."

"By planting the surviving willow tree amid the eerie night, nurturing its growth, it can eventually exude divine power, fend off the Evil, and protect the citizens, and as time passes, it can turn into a fortification for a city!"

So saying, the East Mountain Prefecture Master looked solemn.

Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "Jinliu Manor has been destroyed, it ultimately failed to turn into a city... This path of protection has been proven unsuccessful and abandoned!"

"It might not become a city, but at least it was useful initially!"

The East Mountain Prefecture Master said, "I don’t need to protect any lands, nor require longevity, as long as I can make use of this Divine Bone to enter it, obtain the foundation of the Formation, and then continue to seal the gate!"

His expression grave, he slowly continued, "Mr. Lu, along the way, although you were reluctant, you still allowed us to risk our lives to find the way! You have a kind heart, but you’re not indecisive! Any delay could bring unforeseen changes, please make a decision!"

Taking in his words, Mr. Lu exhaled softly.

He closed his eyes briefly, somewhat wearily lifting his hand.

"..."

In that moment, Lv Tang felt his halberd grow unusually heavy.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master turned around to face Lv Tang and said, "I shall seal my Primordial Spirit at the brow’s ancestral orifice, gather my Mana at the seven apertures, the body can be discarded!"

As his voice faded, he respectfully bowed, giving a greeting, and said, "Please, Brother Lv, behead me!"

"I apologize!"

Lv Tang, not one for indecision, immediately swung his halberd.

A sharp light flashed across the neck.

The large head suddenly took flight.

The Refining Essence Realm elder showed a saddened expression, opening his hands wide to catch the head.

"Rise!"

Mr. Lu extended his left hand, threads of Mana falling upon the body of the East Mountain Prefecture Master.

Life force, blood, and residual Mana were all drawn out by him, and immediately hit upon the Divine Bone.

He stretched out his right hand, threads of Mana falling upon the brow of the East Mountain Prefecture Master.

"Put it on!"

Mr. Lu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The old man at the Refining Essence Realm, equally decisive, stepped forward and placed the head of the East Mountain Prefecture Master on top of the Divine Bone.

At the neck, the vertebrae connected.

Mana flowed through, in an instant.

As the old man released the head,

the East Mountain Prefecture Master’s head had already fused with the Divine Bone.

However, after a while, Mr. Lu withdrew his hand, mana exhausted, his brow furrowed tightly.

"Failed?"

The complexion of the old man at the Refining Essence Realm instantly turned pale.

Lv Tang put away his long halberd, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

But in the next instant, they saw the East Mountain Prefecture Master’s eyes suddenly open, his lips slightly moving, his voice becoming hoarse.

"How long can I live?"

"Your Primordial Spirit is stored within the brow chakra, mana gathered at the seven orifices, with all life force concentrated in the head. Even beheaded, without a body, you can still survive for a moment," Mr. Lu said in a low voice. "I have merged all the remaining life force of your physical body with the Divine Bone, which might sustain you for a longer period, but not beyond two hours!"

In fact, the East Mountain Prefecture Master could have lived longer.

As long as his Primordial Spirit left the body and abandoned it.

If his Primordial Spirit entered the depths of the Forbidden Land, even if he could not attain the position of a Ghost God, he could still exist indefinitely as an "Evil Spirit."

But the East Mountain Prefecture Master needed to use this body to guard the Yin Yang Bureau, so his Primordial Spirit could not leave his body.

Therefore, he could only live for two hours!

"That’s enough!"

As the voice fell, the fleshless skeleton released its hands.

However, between the hands, unexpectedly fell an object, round and complete, black as ink.

"..."

Mr. Lu looked down and couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise, "This is...the foundation of the Formation?"

The expression on the East Mountain Prefecture Master’s face stalled for a moment, then revealed a look of joy.

The foundation of the Formation was not inside the great hall of the Yin Yang Bureau.

It was brought out by the owner of the Divine Bone before his death, tightly clutched in his palms, sealing the entrance?

"Does that mean... there’s no need to go inside?"

——

At the same time, deep within the Forbidden Land.

Lin Yan first shot an arrow, piercing through the front!

Streams of Yin Qi rolled turbulently.

Following that, it was Lin Yan’s sword!

He had transformed into a six-zhang-tall Golden Body, displaying the Five Mountains Dragon Capture with the power to move mountains.

The Blood Moon Sword glowed with blood, forming a blade over three zhang long.

The Sword Skill he used was an adaptation of the Old God’s Reflection Sword!

Six thousand four hundred and eighty streams of True Qi poured out, without the slightest reservation!

In the palm of his hand, he drew out the Little White Ape that had just recovered!

This sword’s might, even within the Refining God Realm, was unmatched!

And it was augmented with the Divine Skills of Demon Suppression!

"I have experienced this sword myself!"

The Netherworld General spoke with a cold tone, stepping forward, "Come again!"

The Sword Skill of severed self mastered by the Netherworld General far surpassed any Sword Skill in the mortal realm!

As a Ghost God, his Cultivation was far above Lin Yan.

The Netherworld General’s sword was sharper than Lin Yan’s.

Yet, He was puzzled as to why, despite His stronger and sharper blade, the opponent seemed to possess the power to counter Him, gaining the upper hand!

But at this moment, this no longer mattered!

Even if this young talent of the Human Clan could take the advantage, as long as he couldn’t kill the Netherworld General with one strike, he would ultimately lose!

Because if He could block Lin Yan’s sword, He would allow the Left General to capture him with chains!

But in the next moment, He was gripped by an unspeakable fear!

For Wu Chang’s blade light had suddenly become even more powerful!
