Chapter 175 The Supreme Guardian!

In the inner city of Gaoliu, the main building of Jiantiansi.

The commander stood with his hands behind his back and let out a light breath.

"It's done." The unknown old man chewed the peanuts sent from Fengcheng, his expression showing a rare solemnity.

"The things that I am responsible for have been completed at this stage."

The commander said calmly: "The success or failure from now on will be left to these younger generations... I can only fight with Jie Jin on the periphery. As for the key inside, it is not something we can interfere with."

The old man smiled and said, "After spending so much energy, the key to victory or defeat will be handed over to these younger generations. Are you assured?"

"In this life, one must always accept old age."

The commander took a bronze mirror, looked at his face, and said, "I still look young, still as handsome as before, and still as charming as before, but I am actually old."

"Look at the common people and the leaders of various families. Once they reach middle age and old age, what they often compete with is not their own wisdom and skills, but whether their descendants will have a bright future."

"Although we are beyond the realm of the mundane, when we grow old, we are all the same."

“No matter how strong you are, if there is no one to take over, the situation you create will not be able to be maintained.”

“Look at this guy Han Zheng. He is far inferior to Li Shenzong and has been depressed for many years. But now, the younger generation he values ​​is worse than Xu Dingye of Xiao Shenzong. Let Han Zheng’s knot disappear, be full of energy, and successfully advance to the Qi Refining Realm.”

"The truth is similar."

The commander sighed, "I am old and will soon die. It is time to let go of my power and let the younger generation take our place and stand at the forefront."

The nameless old man seemed to be thinking about something, and slowly said: "That's true. If you protect too much, you won't see the wind and rain, and you won't see blood, and you won't be able to achieve anything. The current situation in the inner city is an example!"

"This time, a large number of newcomers from the inner city should go to explore the ancient ruins. It's time to see blood." The commander stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I will clear the external obstacles for them... and the ancient ruins inside are the real battlefield. Whether they can win is also crucial to the future of the human race!"

"Can you rest assured?" the old man hesitated.

"You and I are both dying. Whether the ancient monument can become a blessed land or not, it will not benefit you and me. It is also something that you and I may not be able to see." The commander smiled and said, "It is a matter of their generation, so... let's start the game and leave it to them to fight for this generation."

"Are you also planning to use this ancient monument to remind those guys in Gaoliu City who hold power and are afraid of rising talents?" The old man suddenly realized.

"These old monsters can no longer enter the ancient ruins, so future generations are extremely important." The commander nodded and said, "Gao Liu City is too stable. Although they know the long-term principles in their hearts, they have not faced such a choice for a long time. Therefore, they understand the long-term principles, but when doing things... they usually only consider the immediate principles."

"People are stubborn, selfish and greedy, and it is difficult for them to let go of power. They will not wake up if they explore ancient sites." The old man said quietly, "In this life, it is difficult for people to change until they die."

"Things have to be done step by step."

The commander waved his hand and said, "Everyone should be here now. I will go down first."

"The City Guard sent another summons yesterday. Are you still insisting on sending that Wuchang to the ancient ruins?"

"He decides his own path in life. I just chose him, not forced him."

"This child is extremely talented, has outstanding abilities, and has a temperament that I like. It would be a pity if he died in the ancient ruins."

"There have been many talented people in the human race throughout the ages. Who dares to say that they will definitely grow up?"

The commander said: "Emperor Li Shenzong is now famous, but who can tell how many times he encountered life-threatening dangers when he was young?"

He waved his hand and said, "As I said just now, we are born in this era. No matter how talented we are, how can we achieve great things without going through wind and rain and seeing bloodshed?"

Without waiting for the old man to reply, he had already walked down the tall building.

At this moment, in the Jiantian Division, more than thirty people had gathered on the open space.

Han Zheng and Lin Yan were among them.

When everyone saw him coming, they all bowed to him.

"I've seen the commander."

"No gift."

The commander put his hands behind his back and said, "I have already informed you of the ancient monument. Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

“Explore the ancient sites.”

Han Zheng took a half step forward and said seriously.

The commander nodded slightly and said, "This ancient site is mysterious and contains great secrets. The people of Jie Jin know more about it, and they will definitely enter it."

"Some of the people of Jie Jin are exiled outside the Pure Land. They are open enemies."

"Some of the robbers are among the various forces in the city. Even I, the Heavenly Supervisor, may not be able to completely eliminate them."

"You are all people I personally selected, but I don't know whether there are any people among you who are destined to be ruined."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed and their expressions became solemn.

The commander looked calm and said, "Say this before going into battle, it is inevitable that it will shake the morale, but I still want to warn you that once you enter the ancient site, you can't trust anyone except yourself."

"clear."

Everyone responded in unison.

"This time, apart from our Tianshi, all the forces in Gaoliu City have suitable candidates to go together."

After a pause, the commander continued, "They are from various forces outside Gaoliu City, many powerful children, and some of them were selected by Qifeng Mansion to enter the ancient ruins."

"You can form an alliance with them to explore, but you must never let your guard down."

"The enemies in the open are powerful, but the enemies hiding among us are even more terrifying."

"Among you, the one with the lowest cultivation level is at the peak of Inner Strength, and the one with the highest cultivation level is already at the Qi Refining Stage."

"On this trip, you only need to do two things. The first is to save your life, and the second is to understand the situation, seek opportunities, and break the shackles of the Refining Essence Realm."

"The Heavenly Supervisor has prepared some things for you. Go get one each and wait at the door."

"I have already sent someone else to take over all the matters under your command. Now... you just need to think about how to come back alive from the ancient ruins!"

The commander waved his hand and said, "Those in the Qi Refining Realm, stay."

-

This time, there were four people selected to be in the Qi Refining Realm.

Lin Yan, Han Zheng, and two other garrison commanders of the inner city.

"I have already selected you two garrison commanders."

The commander smiled and said, "It's Wuchang and Han Zheng who have just broken through this realm. The timing is perfect."

He put his hands behind his back and asked, "Do you know why I chose you four?"

Han Zheng nodded and said, "The ancient ruins contain great secrets and great dangers. It is easy to get out of control! The four of us have only been in the Qi Refining Realm for a short time..." "Yes, you have just entered the Qi Refining Realm. With your own foundation, you have refined your essence into Qi and have not accepted any strange Qi from the outside world. There is no risk of losing control for the time being."

The commander looked at the other two and said, "Although you have accepted the strange energy from the outside world, the amount of true energy is small and the risk of losing control is not high, so I will decide on you!"

"The other forces are basically the same. The biggest advantage of the selected people is that they are not easy to get out of control."

"For example, Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan has already advanced very far in the Qi Refining Realm. More than 99% of the Qi he has cultivated comes from external Qi."

"So even though he is more capable than you, it's easy for him to lose control once he enters the ancient ruins."

"And this time, I chose you because I want you to fight for the highest talisman deep in the ancient ruins!"

His voice fell and he paused for a moment.

Lin Yan and Han Zheng had expected this and looked calm.

The other two garrison commanders seemed more solemn.

"The four of you will have to rely on your own abilities. Whoever gets the supreme talisman will be the same to me, the Heavenly Supervisor."

“But one thing is for sure. We cannot kill each other, and we cannot ignore the overall situation just for the sake of fighting for it, and let the Supreme Guardian fall into Jie Jin’s hands in the end!”

The commander spoke again, "Except for the four of you, who I can trust, there is currently no way to tell whether the other forces, including the local forces in Gaoliu City, have been destroyed."

"Therefore, my selfish wish is that this supreme talisman must fall into the hands of my Heavenly Supervisor."

The commander looked serious and said slowly: "If it comes to the last moment, it must not fall into the hands of my Heavenly Supervisor. I will do my best to destroy him!"

"destroy?"

Including Lin Yan, the four of them all looked surprised.

"The supreme talisman is extraordinary. Even the brute force of a person at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm cannot shake it."

The commander said slowly: "The blood and qi of the Refining Essence Realm have the most yang and strong effect, which can restrain evil spirits, but it cannot control this supreme talisman! At present, only true qi can destroy it..."

He paused and said, "If we can subdue the talisman, this ancient site will become a blessed place for the human race! If the talisman cannot be subdued, or is captured by Jie Jin, or even by other races, it will become a forbidden place for our human race!"

"Other races?"

The four of them were slightly shocked.

The younger garrison commander whispered, "They will also enter the ancient ruins? Isn't that the Pure Land?"

"When the nine pure lands become ancient ruins, they are no longer pure lands."

"The current location of the ancient ruins is too far from Gaoliu City. There are many powerful evil spirits with spiritual intelligence and monster species comparable to the Qi Refining Realm in the wild. They will all explore the opportunity."

The commander sighed and said, "You have all heard that warriors slay demons and temples suppress evil! Do you all think that once you enter the Qi Refining Realm and can slay evil spirits with your true Qi, you have reached the level of slaying all demons and evil spirits, and the human race is supreme and there is no more threat?"

The four of them looked at each other but didn't say anything.

But even Lin Yan felt that cultivating true Qi could exterminate evil spirits, which was beyond the rule of "temples suppress evil, warriors slay monsters".

"A strange night has come, demons and evil spirits are everywhere, and our ancestors have been seeking a path beyond the limits of the human body."

The commander sighed and said, "But the demons have innate advantages. Evil spirits can devour each other, and demons have ancient bloodlines and can even devour each other... From the moment they are born, they follow the rule of the jungle and have a way to become more powerful!"

"In this strange night, there are always many demons and evil spirits more powerful than me!"

"You must always remember that Jie Jin is an extremely terrifying threat, but he is not the only threat, nor the most powerful threat."

"Even monsters and evil spirits are not the biggest threat!"

"The greatest threat to the human race is the strange night!"

"This time, I hope you will do your best to capture the Supreme Town Object and build a blessed land for the human race!"

After a pause, the commander said solemnly: "If you can't subdue him for your own use, use all your strength to destroy him!"

"understand!"

All four of them nodded.

"I have reached the peak of my Qi Refining Realm. The Qi transformed from the strange Qi in my body far exceeds the amount of Qi transformed from my own refined essence. To avoid losing control, I cannot enter the ancient ruins."

The commander straightened his robe, bowed and saluted, saying: "The foundation of the human race was consolidated by our ancestors generation after generation! The foundation of the human race's future needs to be consolidated by us. Whether this ancient monument can become a blessed place that is one of the foundations of the human race depends on you!"

-

Outer South Division.

General Han and Lin Yan returned together.

"Do you know why the commander keeps emphasizing the risk of losing control?" General Han asked suddenly.

"Why?" Lin Yan asked.

"We are afraid of losing control, but Jie Jin is not." General Han said suddenly.

"Doesn't that mean that the Jie Jin who enters the ancient ruins will be stronger than us?" Lin Yan's expression suddenly became solemn.

"That's one of the reasons why I asked you to stay out of this."

Han Zongqi Envoy said: "Do you know why we can't guard the entrance to the ancient monument to prevent evil spirits from entering?"

Lin Yan pondered and said, "The ancient ruins are huge, with nine entrances. After we enter the ancient ruins, the guards in the city are already short of manpower and unable to guard the nine entrances!"

"There are many powerful demons in the darkness. If we guard the entrance, there will be heavy casualties. We cannot defend it."

General Han nodded and said, "But more importantly, we should use the demons to contain Jie Jin."

"Jie Jin knows more about ancient relics, so he must know the location of the relics earlier than Gao Liucheng."

"I'm afraid that by now, some of the Jie Jin people have already entered the ancient ruins."

"And these powerful demons have begun to possess wisdom, so they may not be unable to communicate..."

General Han did not say it explicitly, but just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be careful when you enter the ancient ruins. Save your life first, and put other things aside. As for the supreme talisman... don't force it!"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "What do you mean? You won't go with me?"

Han Zongqi Envoy said: "The nine entrances to the ancient monument are different. You and I have very different fates, so we must enter the ancient monument through different entrances."

Lin Yan frowned and said, "Another fate? The commander-in-chief of Zhaozhou had the same fate as me, so he was led to the slaughterhouse by Wang Yuan as a sacrifice..."

"The nine sacrificial towers in the slaughterhouse were built by Jie Jin based on ancient relics."

Han Zongqi said in a deep voice: "This time, anyone who dies inside the ancient site will be considered a sacrifice..."
