Chapter 598: Chapter 361: How Many Strikes Can Master Chen Withstand This Time?

Qifeng Prefecture City.

Great City Guard Mansion.

Noble figures from many Holy Lands, City Guard Mansion, Observatory, and Wutong Temple are all gathered here.

"In the depths of the Sea Domain, the Chi Dragon King, armed with oaths of the Old Gods and ancient evils, offers great rewards to kill the Saint Master and sever the Human Clan’s destiny."

As the intelligence resounded, all present remained silent, their hearts heavy.

In the past, although the leaders of the Human Clan were wary of the Ancient Old Gods and the ancient evils that slept for centuries.

In their eyes, the greatest threats were Deceit Night, the evils within it, and the taboos of various Forbidden Lands!

But now, even more profound evils, even stronger Old Gods, have finally revealed their stance!

Or rather, they harbored hostility towards the Human Clan all along!

They only dismissed these ants, ignored these prey in the past!

But as the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction emerged and the Saint Master was born, their prey, once like ants in their eyes, would possess the power to resist in the future!

Thus, these mighty beings began to show their fangs, to snuff out the hope of the Human Clan before it could grow!

"My opinion is to select powerful humans from various Holy Lands and cities, exclude those possibly affected by Tribulation Ash, and exclude those of poor character, deciding on twelve to follow the Saint Master as protection!"

"The Saint Master’s power rivals that of the Creation God, if there are threats to him, the twelve are merely there to die alongside."

"Unless we could bring out twelve Heavenly Mechanism Banner Masters from the Taixuan Mountain Range line."

"Yet the Taixuan Divine Mountain is currently under severe siege from the Demon Domain day and night, suffering heavy losses, unable even to hold the line, let alone spare any personnel!"

"Among the Human Clan, anyone in the Qi Refining Realm is the backbone of their respective groups! And those possessing Old God’s Magical Objects, capable of refining God’s power, are leaders among them!"

"Whether they are willing to leave their esteemed positions to become mere guards, taking them away would unsettle their factions!"

"Most importantly, the Saint Master is so powerful, even bringing twelve peak Qi Refining Practitioners, by his side, would they protect him, or would he protect them?"

"This matter shall be discussed later; currently, with the new Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master accompanying him, the Saint Master can face danger with fortune turning his way."

With Lu Gong’s voice, the matter was temporarily shelved.

Everyone’s gaze fell upon Lu Gong.

Lu Gong understood their intent and sighed.

"I understand you wish to persuade the Saint Master to stay in the Prefecture City, to focus on cultivation, to guard the Human Clan’s destiny, and to define the clan’s belief."

"However, from humble beginnings, the Saint Master wielded a saber alone, slaying demons, exterminating evil, eradicating wrongdoings, and has accomplished so much without change in heart."

"He always believes that the greater one’s skills, the more one should fight at the forefront, protecting the Humans behind, to avoid further casualties!"

"At present, his cultivation surpasses past achievements, his resolve to kill enemies burns even hotter, and no one can persuade him!"

Lu Gong calmly said, "I am no exception! Moreover, you all misunderstand him..."

The crowd turned more solemn.

Especially the Second Seat True Master from the Holy Land, who leaned in, listening intently.

"You all think the Saint Master is a creator of new laws, comparable to scholars of the Creation Law Lineage, a sage well-versed in ancient and modern wisdom!"

Lu Gong slowly continued, "But he himself is ultimately a Martial Artist who wields a saber to strike down foes!"

"You devise strategies from the stable Inner City."

"But he has always charged with his saber at the front lines of Deceit Night."

"When a fearsome tiger of the mountains grows wings, equipped with greater prowess and a fiercer determination to protect its kind... but its kin wishes it to become a caged house cat, isn’t that ridiculous?"

With Lu Gong’s words, none knew how to respond.

After a moment, the Second Line’s True Master sighed, "The Saint Master now travels the lands, though his cultivation is high, those who act against him are backed by ancient powerful entities!"

"The Heavenly Mechanism Flag may avert calamity, but risks remain unavoidable."

"Even the strongest cannot always defend against both visible and invisible threats."

After a hesitation, the Second Line’s True Master asked, "Lu Gong, do you think, after experiencing all manner of dangers, can the Saint Master find peace?"

"No, to him, settling down is akin to cowering from battle."

Lu Gong shook his head, "He is not foolish, so he might temporarily avoid confrontation! However, someone like him would never evade challenges for life; as long as he is strong enough, he will still charge into Deceit Night!"

"But..." someone hesitantly spoke.

"There are no ’buts’!"

Just then, the Great Temple Priest Lu Changsheng spoke, "Since the Saint Master’s early days, those who aided him were mentor Lu Gong and the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau!"

"They are the ones who understand the Saint Master best but never think to intervene with him, so what basis do you have to challenge the Saint Master’s decisions?"

"From ancient times, the Holy Land has nurtured many talents across the Three Prefectures, expending countless resources and efforts."

"Yet only the cultivation bestowed upon the Saint Master was the least... Of course, he grew so quickly that we couldn’t invest all our strength into his nurturing!"

"But regardless of the reason, the fact is, the Saint Master did not rely on your cultivation, mostly relying on himself, and created new laws."

"Therefore, his own path is the one to becoming the Saint Master!"
