Chapter 462: Chapter 304: Old God’s Technique! Tree of All Life!_2

"And these ’nobles’ above the common people, the mediocre ones, hold important positions."

"Then add the internal fights and power struggles to come."

"If the sage cannot rise and the mediocre occupy high places, in such a treacherous era, it is a sign of self-destruction!"

Mr. Lu spoke thus, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and said, "In fact, the old house master also bears considerable responsibility for this matter."

The previous lord of the house, nearing loss of control, forcefully attempted Creation, ultimately failing and causing chaos in Prefecture City.

The prior old house master, being his direct kin, fortunately obtained Old God’s Magical Objects and managed to kill his father, preserving the fire.

This was the first time in the history of East Mountain Prefecture that a son succeeded his father to become the new Lord.

But the more important reason was that the old house master was the most outstanding sage among his peers!

Lin Yan glanced and spoke, "The old house master was a smart man; he must have foreseen today."

"Leaving behind his personal Old God’s Magical Objects was to leave a glimmer of hope for future generations when disaster erupted in the Forbidden Land, and that could also be considered his selfishness."

"But after being confident about sealing the Forbidden Land, he commanded the removal of Old God’s Magical Objects, not leaving them for the future generations... It was to prevent the latter from acquiring these magic artifacts and instead causing a major disaster."

"However, he didn’t anticipate that not only his clan members but also his old subordinates couldn’t let go of power."

"If it were just his clan members, they wouldn’t have been sure to assassinate Xu Changyi."

Pausing a moment, Lin Yan said, "I know it’s not good for us to intervene in East Mountain Prefecture’s affairs."

Mr. Lu laughed and said, "But you still want to intervene."

Lin Yan sighed, "The old house master wouldn’t want to see his clan and old subordinates washed in blood after he was gone."

With his hands behind his back, Mr. Lu said, "Now it seems, passing the torch to you and delivering these Old God’s Magical Objects appears to be the old house master’s long-standing plan... Using this fire to curry favor with the new Lord on your behalf, and these Old God’s Magical Objects are your compensation for saving his clan and old subordinates."

"A bit of insignificant personal desire hidden beneath great righteousness does not harm the overall situation. The way the old house master handled matters is admirable."

Speaking so, Lin Yan slowly drew his sword from its sheath.

He walked forward, placing the sword across the neck of the person at the forefront.

Looking down calmly, he said, "I am Wu Chang, the garrison commander of the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau. If you have any grievances, speak them all!"

"..."

The man’s eyes twitched, staring at the sword lying across his neck.

Even if there were grievances, who would dare to speak them?

"Nothing to say? Then let me speak!"

Lin Yan sheathed his sword and said indifferently, "In the Forbidden Land, the old house master faced death for the sake of all under heaven, deciding before his demise to entrust the fire to my arrangement. Among you, if there is one who is a sage, stronger than Xu Changyi, the fire belongs to him..."

The crowd exchanged looks, speechless for a moment.

"So, none of you believe that you are more suitable for the position of Lord than Xu Changyi."

Lin Yan said, "Since ancient times, in East Mountain Prefecture, the fire has been passed on, chosen for the sage! Xu Changyi was more qualified than you, which is why the previous old house master selected him!"

"And I am stronger and have greater potential than Xu Changyi, which is why the old house master chose me."

"But I am not of East Mountain Prefecture and have no need for the divine fire, so it was passed back to Xu Changyi."

His voice spread in all directions as he spoke.

The people of East Mountain Prefecture all showed complicated expressions.

The new Lord Xu Changyi touched his face and sighed inwardly, "He really isn’t humble... although everything he says is true, couldn’t he be more tactful?"

The five subdued individuals ahead hadn’t expected the reasoning behind it all to be this and were stunned.

However, they couldn’t help harboring some doubts.

After all, it was just one side of the story from the man before them.

But remembering the capabilities of the man just now, they fell silent once more.

Perhaps not even the old house master resurrected could defeat him.

This young man seemed very young, yet his fighting power was not inferior to the Refining God Realm.

It seemed there was no necessity to deceive them.

Just then, they heard Lin Yan’s voice again: "As for the Old God’s Magical Objects, given by an elder, I dare not decline!"

The five exchanged glances, their eyes filled with mockery.

So, in the end, what he wanted to seize was the Old God’s Magical Objects!

Of course, the fire is for the next Lord.

Only the Old God’s Magical Objects he could take.

So it is to each his need?

Before their thoughts settled, they heard Lin Yan abruptly change his tone and say, "Now, I give these to East Mountain Prefecture!"

All were astonished.

Including Xu Changyi and Fu Zhong, all were startled in their hearts.

Those were Old God’s Magical Objects; possessing them within the Qi Refining Realm could potentially wield the Refining God’s Power.

Though Wu Chang already possessed great prowess, acquiring these magical objects would be like adding wings to a tiger!

"You don’t even want the Old God’s Magical Objects?"

The five who were suppressed were shaken and bewildered beyond belief and now even more puzzled.

"What exactly is your relationship with Xu Changyi? You can give him the fire, and even the Old God’s Magical Objects? With these two treasures at stake, even husband and wife would harbor murderous intentions toward each other!"

"..." Even Xu Changyi furrowed his brows, wondering internally about any past interactions he had with Wu Chang.

"No relationship, this is our first meeting."

Lin Yan slowly began to speak, "These Old God’s Magical Objects are not for him; they are for East Mountain Prefecture! Whoever has the capability, possesses the wisdom and talent, and is willing to exert themselves for the Human Clan, to him, these objects will be granted!"

Pausing, Lin Yan added, "Lord Xu has already received the fire; these objects have no connection with you!"

"..."

Xu Changyi spread his hands and smiled, "I never had such greed."

He bowed to Lin Yan and said, "Today, Wu Chang, the garrison commander, can even leave behind the Old God’s Magical Objects for the whole East Mountain Prefecture, which shows your selflessness and dedication to justice!"
