Chapter 463: Chapter 304: Old God’s Technique! Tree of All Life!_3

"..."

All five of them fell silent.

Would such characters really stoop so low as to collude with Xu Changyi?

Perhaps from the beginning, they had not considered such collusion.

In fact, they were probably just looking for an excuse to seize back the Flames and the Magic Artifacts and regain control of the entire East Mountain Prefecture.

"Lord Xu, how do you plan to deal with them?" Lin Yan asked.

"Assassinating the newly appointed lord is a crime that deserves death!" Xu Changyi said gravely.

"The Human Clan is in dire straits, and although they have their own selfish desires, they don’t seem like the kind that would cause tribulation and ash," Lin Yan said, "If they had killed you, it would have been a huge loss for our Human Clan, but killing them would also be a loss of strong warriors for our clan."

"Master, are you pleading for them?" Xu Changyi asked with a smile.

"To put it accurately, I intend to redeem them with this Old God’s Magic Artifact," Lin Yan stated.

"Old God’s Magic Artifacts are naturally far more valuable than the lives of these five, even more than my own life," the Lord Xu said.

"Thank you!"

Having said that, Lin Yan continued, "But though the death penalty can be spared, they must not escape punishment for their other crimes! Their actions today have insulted the honor of the former lord!"

The five men remained silent for a long while.

Throughout history, the words of the insignificant have carried little weight.

But this young man was so fearsomely powerful that his words were far from light.

More importantly, he did not covet the Flames or the Old God’s Magic Artifacts, a clear indicator of his pride and broad-mindedness.

"We recognize our wrongdoings and are willing to accept punishment!"

The leader finally spoke in a low voice, "Master’s stern warning has awakened us from our misguided ways, and we wish to learn from your teachings!"

"I saved you today not for your gratitude or for any favors," Lin Yan stated, "It’s natural for humans to have their own selfish interests, but amidst the treacherous nights filled with endless evil, the Human Clan is already facing tough challenges."

"To fight over power and profit is simply courting self-destruction!"

"Considering your Cultivation levels, you’re among the top figures in East Mountain Prefecture. To die here would truly be a loss for the Human Clan."

With that, he said indifferently, "From now on, devote yourselves to the service of the Human Clan and do not tarnish the reputation of the former lord! As for the Old God’s Magic Artifact, if you perform admirably and achieve great deeds, it can still fall into your hands!"

——

Outside the Great Feng mountain range,

the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau Commander stood with his hands behind his back.

Next to him was the East Mountain Prefecture Observatory Commander.

"I really envy you, old ghost, to have such an outstanding person under your command," the East Mountain Prefecture Commander sighed.

"Indeed, it’s very precious," said the Qifeng Prefecture Commander pensively, "Everyone says he only knows how to draw his sword and kill... But I actually thought that following this assassination attempt, he would decapitate these men to enforce the law!"

"Not only did he refrain from killing, but he also resolved the conflict in just a few words," said the East Mountain Prefecture Commander.

"If he were merely a killer, he would be nothing but a sharp weapon, but now it seems, he truly has the makings of a leader."

"A young prodigy with formidable combat skills, steadfast resolve, a sense of the bigger picture, and a long-term vision," he added.

"What’s even more significant is that he could easily relinquish both the Flames and the Old God’s Magic Artifact."

"Decisive in killing yet not lacking in benevolence, this person has both virtue and talent, an immeasurable future ahead. It’s a pity that I do not have such extraordinary talent under my command..." said the East Mountain Prefecture Commander, with a hint of regret.

"The more he behaves like this, the harder it is for me to make a decision," the Qifeng Prefecture Commander said, shaking his head, "He lacks human ’desires,’ his divinity is too strong, which actually doesn’t suit my backbone."

"Dammit..." the East Mountain Prefecture Commander suddenly sneered, "Are you bragging to me that you have successors, and not just one?"

"Not really, it just occurred to me," the Qifeng Prefecture Commander spoke, "The garrison commander under my command gave up the Flames and Magic Artifact that were already his and returned them to East Mountain Prefecture... That’s his nobility, but your East Mountain Prefecture can’t not reciprocate, right?"

"What do you mean?" The East Mountain Prefecture Commander became wary.

"That Old God’s Technique, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch," the Qifeng Prefecture Commander mentioned, "Compared to the Flames or the protective Old God’s Magic Artifact, I think this Magic Method suits him better."

"You..." The East Mountain Prefecture Master’s cheek twitched, but he did not reject the offer and instead asked, "The Old God’s Technique is not something that the Human Clan can master."

"The Combat Technique he has shown is also an Old God’s Technique, hasn’t he mastered it?" pointed out the Qifeng Prefecture Commander.

"Very well," agreed the East Mountain Prefecture Commander, nodding slightly.

Then he heard the Qifeng Prefecture Commander continue, "But for his great deed this time, assisting the Lord and sealing the Forbidden Land, bringing fortune to the whole East Mountain Prefecture..."

"To hell with you, is this never-ending?" the East Mountain Prefecture Commander grumbled discontentedly, "How did you become so insatiable?"

"Qifeng Prefecture has a grafting Magic Method that once cultivated a branch of Liu Venerate’s original body into a New God," stated the Qifeng Prefecture Commander.

"I came here this time to impart this method to East Mountain Prefecture! However, given Wu Chang’s merits, giving him a sapling of the ’Tree of Myriad Lives’ isn’t too much, right?" he said.

"The ’Tree of Myriad Lives’ may not be an Ancient Old God, but its existence is a vital source of survival for the Human Clan of East Mountain Prefecture," the East Mountain Prefecture Commander said in amazement, "Are you saying you already plan to have him govern a region on his own?"

"Didn’t you say he has the qualifications to lead a Human Clan?" the Qifeng Prefecture Commander laughed, "Besides, it’s not that we have plans, but from the beginning, it could only be him."

Continuing, he said, "And also, given the great achievements of Master Wu Chang, returning both the Flames and the Magic Artifact to East Mountain Prefecture... don’t go, I have not finished speaking. Don’t you think with Wu Chang’s character, he is a perfect fit for that Ancient Divine Pill..."
