Chapter 315: The Covenant of the Old Gods, After the Chaos

In the Wutong Temple.

As the chief temple priest, Lu Changsheng mobilized the temple guards and rushed to the previously designated location.

Then he went straight to the main hall of the temple.

The Wutong Temple was built around the branches of the Goddess.

On the wooden wall in front, the words "Wutong Shenmu" are written.

This is the most powerful old god in Qifeng Mansion!
He is also the only sober ancient god in the entire Qifeng Mansion!
He is the first old god in Qifeng Prefecture to take the initiative to extend his branches and protect the human race.

"The great elder of the Holy Land has entered the inner city early."

Lu Changsheng knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Goddess, why didn't you send down the oracle before?"

"..."

Mother Wutong was silent.

After a while, Lu Changsheng said, "The Great Elder has obtained the method of creating scenery, but this person has lost control and is insane. The inner scenery he created will definitely bring disaster!"

“Once it is exposed, it will cover all directions and cause heavy casualties.”

"Right now, within the city, only the Mother Goddess can suppress it by showing her power."

He raised his head and whispered, "Please Goddess, give me some advice!"

There was still silence in front, no response.

Lu Changsheng kowtowed again.

Then he lit three incense sticks and offered them before the gods.

I saw white smoke curling up and suddenly gathering above, and in a trance there seemed to be a sound coming from the white smoke.

This was a woman's voice, deep and gentle, with a soft sigh.

"This person has not completely lost control. Although he is under the influence of alien magic power, his body has collapsed and his mind is close to insanity, but his human will is still there."

"According to the covenant of the past, this god will protect the human race, but may not interfere in the internal affairs of the human race."

"If he is the Jie Cinder, it is a fight between the human race and other old gods. This god can help the human race."

"If he completely loses control, he will become a demon and evil spirit in the world, and this god can kill him personally."

"But at this moment, he is still a human."

"Then this turmoil is an internal struggle among the human race."

The white smoke gradually dispersed, and there seemed to be a sighing sound: "Even if this person wants to destroy Qifeng City, as long as he does not hurt my body, I can't really attack him!"

Lu Changsheng raised his head and his expression became extremely solemn.

According to Li Shenzong's intelligence, the Great Elder has basically lost control and is terrifyingly powerful.

In the entire Qifeng City, only the power of the Mother Goddess can easily kill the Great Elder without affecting the people in the city!

But now, the Mother of God is unable to help?
I saw the white smoke dissipate.

The Mother of God's voice gradually lowered.

"The promise we made in the past was that I, the god, would resist the strange night, expel the evil spirits, and help the human race suppress the old gods who betrayed the covenant!"

"And the last oath is that I cannot directly manipulate the fate of the human race!"

"Lu Changsheng, you are a human, and he is also a human."

"Even if this internal fight leads to the destruction of the entire city, this god cannot interfere."

At this point, the sound completely disappeared and no response was given.

Lu Changsheng sighed and bowed forward.

He took off the seal of the high temple priest and placed it on the table.

Without the power of the Goddess tonight, this seal is useless.

Then he stood up and walked out of the hall.

And in his body, the energy was gradually rising.

With the help of the holy land, one can also refine the power of the spirit.

"People like you are suitable for stirring up trouble behind the scenes, but this time you actually want to take the risk yourself?" An old man at the side of the hall had a calm expression.

"Uncle Master." Lu Changsheng glanced at him and said, "The Great Elder is not completely out of control. He still has something beyond our expectations! As expected, anyone who can carry the Tiangang Banner at Taixuan Divine Mountain is not a simple person..."

"If the Mother Goddess cannot take action and kill the opponent immediately, things will be troublesome."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "The battle in Yufu City affected too many people. If we want to kill him, we may have to destroy half of the inner city! So, in this battle tonight, don't be greedy for merit, just force the Great Elder out of the city!"

He looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "If you can't come back, no one can carry the seal of the great temple inside."

"I still have a long life ahead of me. I can't die."

Lu Changsheng paused and said, "Wuchang is still with Pan Chengkong, please take good care of him..."

He sighed, knowing that Wuchang had been thinking about the method of creating landscape for some time.

Now, after seeing with his own eyes that the Great Elder had taken away this method, even the vicious and crazy Wuchang had given up the pursuit. It must have been a huge blow and he must have been depressed.

-

City Shoufu.

The age of the Great City Guard seemed to be only in his early fifties, with black hair and beard and cold eyes.

He stood on a tall building, looked down ahead, and whispered, "You came back sooner than expected."

Behind him was the highest commander of the Tianjian Division.

He actually returned to the city tonight.

"Things tonight went generally smoothly."

The city guard said, "But something must have happened to Lu Changsheng."

The Great Elder entered the city ahead of time and without making any noise, and seized the landscaping method, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Either the Mother Goddess did not warn, or Lu Changsheng chose to conceal it.

Either way, it means that things have become more difficult than originally expected.

"The method of landscape creation did not fall into the hands of impermanence?"

Commander Zhou clenched his fists and whispered, "Didn't you say that Pan Chengkong wanted to steal the truth, hand over the real method, and use a fake method to confuse the Great Elder?"

"We all underestimated the great elder. Now that things have come to this, let's ignore the landscaping method for now."

The city guard sighed and asked again, "Have you managed the people in the Heavenly Guards?"

The commander nodded and said, "There is basically no mistake."

Upon hearing this, the city guard nodded and said, "I have also given orders in advance to restrain my men."

"Those who cannot be controlled tonight... are like the one from the Shi family. They are all people in Qifeng Prefecture who are unwilling to be deployed and have different intentions."

"When rotten flesh grows on a person's body, it will inevitably rot and gradually spread, endangering life."

"Qifeng City, with these rotten meats, will also be in danger of destruction if it continues like this."

"In recent years, the orders of the City Guard Office have been difficult to implement when they are passed down... Some people enrich themselves, some pretend to obey but secretly disobey, some fight for power, some collude with each other, and some protect each other. It is difficult to find all the evidence and clues, and even the Sky Monitoring Department can only catch some small rats."

The Grand City Guard said this, with his hands behind his back, "We will take this opportunity to conduct a bloodbath. We don't need evidence or trial. We can just scrape off the rotten flesh and eliminate all the evils. From now on, we will enforce the law without any resistance!"

"Even if you remove the rotten flesh, you still can't cure the root cause."

Hearing this, the commander shook his head and said, "It won't take too long. In another ten or twenty years, people's hearts will change, and private interests will outweigh public interests. We will still be in the same situation today."

The Great City Guard paced back and forth, speaking again in a calm tone.

"If we don't count those who have lost control due to the invasion of strange energy, and just consider the nature of being a human being..."

"Among the three prefectures, Canyu Prefecture is the most united. People are willing to sacrifice their lives to slay demons and eliminate evil for the sake of justice!"

"Although Dongshan Prefecture is inevitably plagued by intrigue and struggles for power, judging from the sealing of the forbidden area, thousands of people have died one after another, and justice will last forever."

"On the contrary, Qifeng Prefecture is the most stable and prosperous among the three prefectures, so people are the most scattered and selfish."

The great city guard put his hands behind his back and said, "Among all the cities, the 'inner city' has the most problems!"

He looked at the commander and said, "You should understand."

The commander nodded and said, "Most of the leaders of the various forces in the inner city in this generation were born noble, so they rarely take risks."

"They have never seen evil spirits, nor do they know the strange night. They have been raised in the inner city since childhood, enjoying all the resources. They have cultivation skills but have never fought fiercely. Instead, they use their high cultivation skills to fight for power."

"If you have never seen the suffering of the lower-class people, and do not know the evil in the strange night, it is difficult for you to truly understand the plight of the human race from the bottom of your heart."

"People like you and me have faced the strange night, wandered outside the city, fought against demons, seen refugees in the Pure Land, and seen humans being kept as food."

"We know the difficulties and dangers of life, so we can plan for the overall interests of humanity in the days of clarity before things get out of control."

"And people like them occupy the best resources of the human race, but rarely face the threat of Guiye."

"It is said that the best steel is used on the blade. They have the best 'steel' of the human race, but it is only hidden in the handle behind the blade."

At this point, the commander sighed, "Within the rules, there must be solid evidence before a conviction can be made! Over the years, the Heavenly Supervisory Department has focused more of its energy on dealing with Jie Jin, while they have been working hard to find loopholes, especially under the newly revised laws. They are very skilled in playing with the rules. It is difficult for us to control complete evidence and make a conviction..."

The city guard sighed and said, "That's why we need a riot that doesn't require any evidence to cleanse them with blood." He said this and then said, "First, get rid of the current problems, and then consider how to cure them in the future!"

"Makes sense."

The commander nodded and said, "We should go and finish it... This great elder is too powerful!"

"There is no Great Elder tonight!"

The city guard looked solemn and said, "Only the leader of the Qifeng Mansion, Jie Jin, broke into the city!"

-

This night passed quickly.

And the news spread far and wide.

There was unrest in the inner city and the soldiers defending the north gate suffered heavy casualties.

Deputy city guard Shi was killed in front of the north gate. The murderer was suspected to be the celestial official Wuchang, who had a six-meter-tall golden body and was extremely ferocious.

After an investigation by the City Guard Office, the Chief City Guard determined that this was the leader of the Jie Jin Sect, who had obtained the Vajra Bones from the Pure Land of the Canyu Palace and cultivated into the Small Vajra Body mentioned in ancient books.

The first disciple of Li Shenzong was severely injured in the general's mansion and almost died.

Before he fell into a coma, he mentioned the leader of Jie Jin, and from his wounds, one could identify Jie Jin's Blood-Transforming Demonic Sword.

During this period, someone saw the murderer, whose body was as tall as a building and golden in color.

Now the remaining knife energy from his wound has been sealed as evidence in this case.

The attack on the General's Mansion also confirmed the conclusion reached by the city guards after their investigation at the north gate. It was the Jie Jin Sect leader who had cultivated himself into a small Vajra body and broke into the inner city!

At the same time, in the outer city, the Sky Supervisor Wuchang generously gave advice and left knife marks for visitors from all sides to gain insights.

Among them, the current patriarch of the Han family crossed the knife mark, faced impermanence, and had one arm cut off.

This also proves one thing, that Wuchang was in the outer city and was not the one who forced his way into the north gate of the inner city.

Perhaps these proofs are not very convincing. After all, there are still clues to follow, such as carrying a longbow, holding a long sword, and having a six-meter golden body... These are all the abilities that Wuchang reveals.

But when Lin Yan forced his way through the north gate, he changed his appearance.

The guardian of the city believed that the leader of the Jiejin Sect possessed a small Vajra body and had obtained an ancient divine bow in the Canyu Mansion.

The conclusion reached personally by the Grand Lord Mayor was that the City Guard's Office had closed the case.

The Astronomical Observatory reviewed the case, filed it on file, and approved the conclusion.

Lu Changsheng, the chief priest of Wutong Temple, also issued an order that night, ordering all the guards to encircle and suppress the leader of Jie Jin.

There was also the horrific wound of Wen Chen from the General's Mansion who was cut by the "Blood-Transforming Heavenly Demon Sword", as well as the sealed sword energy, which all confirmed the existence of the Jie Jin Sect Leader.

There is no room for doubt on this matter.

"It is said that in addition to the Jie Jin Sect Leader, there is another extremely terrifying evil spirit that actually broke into the inner city!"

"No, the news last night was that the leader of Jie Jin suddenly lost control and turned into a flesh-and-blood evil spirit. Pus oozes from his entire body and it stinks extremely bad. In addition, the area around him, a thousand steps in radius, is filled with evil and poisonous barriers!"

"I heard that the Great City Commander was seriously injured. Even if he holds the Great City Commander's token and can call upon divine power, he is still vulnerable."

"It's not just that! The major families in the inner city, following the order of the Grand City Commander, joined forces to surround and kill the enemy, suffering heavy casualties!"

"I heard that in the end it was the Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Monitoring Department, the Great City Guardian, and the Great Temple Priest who joined forces to take action... Each of them also mobilized tens of thousands of elite soldiers to form an army formation to assist them!"

"But according to the intelligence, it seems that the 'evil spirit in the flesh' had no intention of continuing the battle and rushed out of the city. Otherwise, this war would have affected a wider area!"

"Right now, the temple's people are clearing away the remaining evil spirits along the way. Not to mention the living people being infected by the poisonous gas...even the walls and floor tiles have been baked with talismans to eliminate the poisonous evil spirits."

"By the way, I heard that there was another nobleman who was attacked last night. However, the temple guards sealed off the mansion, and we still don't know what happened there."

-

at the same time.

The great temple prayed to Lu Changsheng and came to this mansion.

His face was blue, his lips were pale, he was wearing a cloak, and his steps were unsteady.

"How's it hurt?"

The second temple keeper glanced at him.

"I can't die. The Great Elder has learned the method of landscape creation, but he has only entered the stage of entry and has not truly cultivated the inner landscape realm."

Lu Changsheng said: "He was also anxious to find a secluded place to build his inner divine realm, so he didn't want to fight..."

At this point, he looked inside and asked, "Is the person still there?"

The second temple keeper nodded and said, "He is not in good condition. He stood in front of a pool of blood all night without moving. He seems to be deeply shocked."

"Withdraw all the guards."

Lu Changsheng said: "Announce to the public that the Holy Land's envoy was killed by the leader of the Jie Jin Sect!"

Having said this, he walked forward.

Come to the inner room.

Pan Chengkong's body is still there.

A figure stood in front of the bloodstain, without any movement.

Lu Changsheng sighed, walked into the inner room, stretched out his hand and pressed down on the altar.

However, a scene emerged from the "white pill" that was originally used to steal the truth.

The scene was full of light, from Pan Chengkong to the great elder who used his soul to take over Zheng Yan's body...

Pan Chengkong had his heart taken out.

The Great Elder chewed the heart slowly.

Until finally, the great elder twisted Pan Chengkong's neck and blood spurted out.

The seeds that carried the method of landscape creation were crushed into powder and scattered in the blood.

Then the great elder stood in front of the bloodstain and stared at it.

Lu Changsheng understood that the bloodstains must have given rise to a method of landscape creation.

However, it could not be reflected through the altar, and only a pool of bright red blood could be seen on the ground.

The Great Elder stared at the pool of blood for about eighty-six breaths.

Then the great elder was seen dancing and waving his hands like a madman, shouting loudly, rushing out of here and heading towards the distance.

But after a few breaths, Wuchang came here and saw the pool of blood.

I just took a quick glance and stopped here until this moment.

"The Great Elder's Yuan Shen has already cultivated to the peak. He watched this method 'Eighty-six Breaths' and then remembered it completely."

Lu Changsheng's eyes were dim, and he sighed inwardly: "The landscape creation method copied by the Holy Lord can only last for a hundred breaths!"

"After the Great Elder left, Wu Chang arrived. All in all, the method of creating the scenery... He only took a look at it, and it dispersed in less than three breaths."

"It's a loss at the last minute. This blow is really painful."

He tilted his head to look at Lin Yan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

After a while, Lin Yan's gaze turned away from the dried bloodstains on the ground.

"You came here and stood in front of me for a long time without saying a word. What do you want to do?" Lin Yan said calmly.

"I was the main person in the planning last night, but I underestimated the 'will' of the Great Elder, which led to the loss of the landscaping method." Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment, and then said, "If you have any needs, I will do my best to compensate you."

"I want to kill someone." Lin Yan looked at Lu Changsheng with a flat tone.

"If you want to kill me..." Lu Changsheng rubbed his brows.

"Why would I kill you?" Lin Yan brushed off the dust on his clothes and said, "I used me as a knife to tear a hole last night, giving you the opportunity to clean up the forces of all parties... If my guess is correct, there will be another group of people who will be pushed to the beheading platform today?"

"Yes, they are all extremely vicious criminals identified by the Temple, the Sky Monitoring Department, and the City Defense Office. We have known about their crimes in the past, but we have no evidence."

Lu Changsheng said: "But after what happened last night, if you pull out the radish, you will also get mud. If you implicate others, you don't need too much evidence..."

Lin Yan said calmly, "I will carry out the execution."

Lu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, looked at him deeply, and said, "Can't you hold back your murderous intent?"

Lin Yan did not respond, but looked at the great temple priest in front of him.

Although it was their first meeting, they were not strangers to each other because of Mr. Lu.

"I promise you."

Lu Changsheng said this, then hesitated and said: "I am responsible for not being able to obtain the landscaping method this time... Regarding your compensation..."

"no need."

Lin Yan turned and left, saying: "I have almost mastered the art of landscape creation."

Lu Changsheng sighed: "I know that you have already mastered the new method, and the only thing missing is the landscaping method. It's my fault. I will... Wait, what did you say?"

He froze there, not saying a word for a long while.
