Chapter 624: Chapter 373: Please Saint Master to become Saint Master!_2

"There’s a group of relatively astute scholars who see things more clearly; they realize the current situation and are willing to cooperate to overcome the difficulties together, comforting the people for us!"

"But more people are ultimately swept along by the tides of internal chaos... Among them are over ten scholars from the academy, who arrogantly consider themselves wise but are actually foolish, unable to grasp the current situation, and are used as scapegoats at the forefront."

"Now, some people on the academy’s side are even starting to shout ’The Saint Master is incompetent, let him die to apologize!’ "

"If this continues, no later than half a month, there will definitely be a bloody battle!"

"They are already planning to secretly seize the Great Array and open the formation!"

"If the Holy Land has become a Forbidden Land, then once the formation is opened, no one will survive."

"I suggest that we should publicize the truth in its entirety, rather than internal slaughter!"

"If in the end, it still cannot be suppressed, we can only cleanse it with blood, eliminating these reckless fools!"

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became silent.

After a while, the previous elder shook his head slightly and said, "No, they are not unforgivable death convicts; they are just people of the Human Clan from the Holy Land."

Another young man said in a deep voice, "If we don’t eliminate them, they will be a scourge. Once the formation opens, everyone will die."

"The real troublemakers are just a small group; they are the ones stirring up the tide! As long as we eliminate this small group, there is still hope of survival, otherwise continuing the chaos, we won’t survive either..."

All eyes were on the elder at the highest level.

This elder at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm was the leader of the third branch of the Holy Land.

"This matter does not fall under any law of the Holy Land. If in the future there is hope of getting out..."

The leader of the third branch said in a deep voice, "Those of us making decisions here, according to the Punishment Hall’s penalties, should all lose our heads!"

The young man from before said coldly, "Losing our heads is fine, but we can’t just watch them cause chaos and let everyone perish! As long as we save a group of people... after the bloodbath, I will accompany them in death as the executioner!"

Everyone began to speak, discussing intensely.

After a while, they heard the leader of the third branch raise his hand and say, "It has come to this; let me personally come forward, publicize the matter, clarify the advantages and disadvantages, and state the truth..."

"Our ancestors also sought survival within the Pure Land."

"Our contemporaries are now scattered across the Three Prefectures."

"Now that the Holy Land has changed, I believe they can..."

Before he could finish his words, they heard chaotic sounds coming from outside!

And the outside noise grew more intense.

"No one can open the formation except the Saint Master!"

"Now that the Saint Master hasn’t opened this array, he must have been harmed by them!"

"If we want to escape this desperate situation, we must seize the core of the Great Array to open the formation and escape with our lives!"

"Break in!"

"Kill!"

——

Inside the Holy Land.

Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly.

He flipped open the third book and immediately put it in his chest.

He sensed the changes and turmoil in the underground Great Array.

"Master?"

The little White Ape said softly, "The disturbance below is very unusual..."

Lin Yan nodded, "In a desperate situation, people will become almost insane. When they think they’re in a desperate situation, they’ll have no more scruples."

Upon hearing this, the little White Ape said, "We’ve fought with Tribulation Ash so many times. It’s also an invisible struggle between the Human Clan and the Old God! But this time, it seems we’re truly witnessing the internal conflict of the Human Clan, right?"

"That’s what the Saint Master wanted me to see."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "As the leader of the Human Clan, sometimes what he guards against is not only external enemies, not only Tribulation Ash, or even not only the wicked... but also our own people within the Holy Land!"

He looked down and said, "Earlier, the Saint Master was always watching from the mountaintop, observing the open and covert struggles within the underground Great Array, yet he didn’t choose to open this formation!"

"First, he was already exhausted, leaving his last bit of energy on me!"

"Second, he wanted me to see this scene and understand that, as a high-ranking member of the Human Clan, there are still some ridiculous, trivial matters to face!"

"Third, he let me open this formation to pave a way for survival for those in despair and earn their support."

While saying this, Lin Yan drew out the Night Illuminating Divine Sword and said, "The Saint Master also meant well, but I probably don’t need it much!"

Boom!!!

He fiercely slashed down on the ground with his blade!

——

Under the underground Great Array, the conflict began, chaotic and disorderly to the extreme!

Order had completely collapsed, and chaos abounded!

The Saint Master had encountered trouble!

Besides the Saint Master, no one could open the Great Array from the outside!

Only by seizing the Supreme Town Object controlling the formation can they escape alive!

However, at this moment!

A booming rumble!

The world spun!

In an instant, a ray of white light descended from the sky!

Everyone involuntarily stopped their actions and raised their heads blankly, looking at the source of the white light shining down from the sky.

It was a giant crack!

The earth was split open!

The formation was torn open with a fissure!

And above the fissure, a person stood with a blade, looking down.

The light illuminated his body, penetrating through the crack, shining down into the earth.

A massive shadow projected onto everyone.

"The Saint Master has passed away, and this Holy Land is now ruined!"

Lin Yan said slowly, "I will temporarily assume the position of Saint Master and take charge of the Holy Land!"

"Who are you?"

The leader of the third branch shouted, "Who in the Holy Land are you? Does someone from the outside world qualify to take charge of the Holy Land?"

"I am the Inspection Envoy of the Three Prefectures of the Observatory, Wu Chang!"

Lin Yan said calmly, "When the Saint Master met me, he called me the Master of All Generations!"

An uproar instantly erupted within the formation, like tides surging, wave after wave!

"Saint Master!"

"He is the Saint Master!"

"The Saint Master saved us from death, our reborn parent indeed!"

Everyone abandoned their weapons with no further thoughts of conflict, feeling relieved to escape death, and some couldn’t help but weep with joy.

Yet more people, though swept up by the tide, still felt a bit confused in their hearts, but they also knew that the arrival of the Saint Master had averted a bloody, tragic event!

...

Something’s not right!

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the True Master of the third branch leader.

Seeing this elder’s complex expression, he nodded slightly.

Instantly, Lin Yan understood.

This True Master of the third branch had recognized him from the beginning!

From his very first words, he was creating momentum under his name as the Saint Master!

"Welcome, Saint Master!!!"

The True Master of the third branch threw down his Magic Sword, bowed, and shouted loudly, "Please, Saint Master, deliver justice!!!"

Listening to the subsequent cries from below.

The little White Ape said softly, "His acting is a bit poor, not as good as ours."

"The acting is a bit off, but the show is real."

Lin Yan sheathed his blade and said slowly, "Let’s wrap it up, and head to the Taixuan Divine Mountain!"

——

Half a day later.

The people within the underground Great Array gradually migrated out, looking at the Holy Land that had turned into ruins, all of them weeping bitterly, cries of mourning resounded everywhere.

With their homeland destroyed, everyone was at a loss.

A heavy gloom hung over this land.

"What do you plan to do?" Lin Yan looked at the leader of the third branch and said calmly.

"The Holy Land has been too stable; these people can’t endure hardships." The leader of the third branch whispered, "It’s been fine in the past because the Holy Land was stable, but now... they need to suffer a bit."

"The Holy Land needs to be rebuilt." Lin Yan said.

"I will leave behind a relatively stable group to rebuild the Holy Land."

The leader of the third branch said slowly, "According to the laws of the Holy Land, all other troublemakers will be executed!"

Lin Yan frowned, "That’s too harsh."

The leader of the third branch smiled and said, "I also know it’s a bit harsh... so the Saint Master can plead for them."

Lin Yan said slowly, "Is this also a method that the Saint Master left me, to win people’s hearts?"

The leader of the third branch did not speak but pondered and said, "The root cause of this chaos, in part, knowing that breaking the formation would lead to everyone’s death, they planned to take everyone down with them."

"These people, if left behind, will be a dire threat; I will personally clean them out!"

"The other troublemakers are mostly incited; I plan to scatter them into the Three Prefectures to help rebuild the Sea Cliff Pure Land, expand Feng City, and New City of Tall Willows... especially the Martial Artists, send them to the frontline."

"Only through hardships can they understand how hard-won stability is."

After pausing, he looked at Lin Yan and said, "But these people are not important. The most important thing right now is that the Supreme Town Object of the Holy Land is in the hands of the Saint Master! If you are willing to become the next Saint Master, it will be enough to convince everyone!"

As his voice fell, he bowed and said, "Please, Saint Master, become the Saint Master!"

Lin Yan quietly looked at him, and after a moment, said, "I am not the kind of person who can be the leader of the Human Clan!"
