Chapter 369: Holy Master one year later!
Two horses, one silver and one black, galloped forward.

Perhaps the effect of the poison had worn off, or perhaps the disaster had disappeared, Fu Zhong recovered quickly.

His cultivation was already quite high to begin with, enough to reconnect severed limbs. When he recovered to normal, his vitality was strong, and by this moment, his injuries had almost recovered.

During this period, Fu Zhong looked at Lin Yan many times.

He always felt that a great fortune in the dark protected him and saved him from disaster.

Otherwise, he would still be in bad luck and it would be impossible for him to recover.

"Holy Master, I feel a little uneasy."

Fu Zhong hesitated and said in a low voice.

"what?"

Lin Yan frowned and glanced at him.

"The backlash of the Heavenly Secret Flag was too strange. It always made me feel like I missed something."

Fu Zhong whispered, "My original intention was to calculate for Yuanshan City before leaving... to infer the results of the Taixuan Divine Mountain defense line in the near future..."

Lin Yan seemed to understand something, and said thoughtfully: "Can't you directly calculate the fortune of Taixuan Divine Mountain?"

"It's not that I can't, but that I don't dare."

Fu Zhong said: "The most powerful people in the Holy Land and the Three Prefectures are all there to resist the evil spirits. Among them are many Qi Refining Realm, some Spirit Refining Realm, and even God Lords who have successfully created landscapes... In addition, there are also many old divine artifacts that the human race has collected for many years, as well as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Flags and the Seventy-Two Earthly Evil Flags."

He sighed and said, "I can't make any predictions with just my Heavenly Secret Flag."

He paused, as if thinking of something, and said, "This is because my ability is low, not the limit of the Tianji Banner... Maybe the previous generation of Tianji Banner Master had this ability, but at least I am not qualified now."

Lin Yan nodded, and then pondered, "So you are worried about the situation of Taixuan Divine Mountain because you failed to measure Yuanshan City?"

“That’s just part of the reason.”

Fu Zhong whispered, "The bigger reason is that I wanted to measure Yuanshan City, but I couldn't do it in the end, and I felt uneasy!"

Lin Yan frowned and said, "Will it be fine when you recover?"

Fu Zhong shook his head and said, "It would be more difficult to calculate the secrets of Yuanshan City if we are not in Yuanshan City."

He hesitated, then said again: "Logically speaking, if there is no calculation, we don't know whether it is good or bad, and it may not be a bad omen!"

"But now, what makes me uneasy is no longer the good or bad fortune of the hexagram, but... the inability to predict it!"

"It seems destined."

"At least this time, I can't measure Yuanshan City."

"Logically speaking, the Holy Master descended upon Yuanshan City and contained the disaster."

"Now, there are still traces of the Saint Master in Yuanshan City, so there shouldn't be any problems there."

"But why, it seems like there is a hand holding down my Heavenly Secret Flag, preventing me from measuring it?"

After a pause, Fu Zhong whispered, "Something's wrong."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Go back to Yuanshan City?"

Fu Zhong shook his head and said, "I want to go directly to Taixuan Divine Mountain, to the defense line that the Lord of Tianji Banner should be responsible for, and take on my own responsibilities! The rest of the way, Saint Master, go by yourself..."

Lin Yan looked at him quietly and said, "This disaster of yours will cost you your life."

Fu Zhong said aloud: "After leaving Yuanshan City, it gradually disappeared. Even if you leave the Holy Master, it will not get worse."

With a sigh, he said, "It is precisely because the disaster disappeared so quickly after I left Yuanshan City that I suspected that there was a hand in the dark trying to stop me!"

"Returning to the position of the Heavenly Secret Flag and following the path of the previous generations of flag owners is the fastest way to grow!"

"When I grow up quickly and completely control the Heavenly Secret Flag, the affairs of Yuanshan City will no longer be hidden from me."

"Saint Master has great luck, and the holy land is a place for immortals and gods, which are beyond my calculation."

"But just now, I tested the Jiao-Scale Horse and it is safe and sound."

Fu Zhong said solemnly: "The trip to the Holy Land should not have too many twists and turns. Now the Holy Lord is in a strange situation and no one knows the clues... I hope the Holy Master can confirm his condition to reassure everyone."

-

Qifeng Prefecture City.

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes slightly.

He was silent for a while before he sighed.

"Teacher, are you sure you want to go to Taixuan Divine Mountain?"

"Are you a little arrogant?" Lu Tang pointed at his nose and said, "I want to go too. Why do you say that it's just Mr. Lu who went alone?"

"I'll go too!" The Saint Lady raised her hand and said, "I've become quite powerful now."

"You can't go."

Lu Changsheng glanced at her, then fell on Lu Gong, and said: "The fierce attack from the Demon Realm this time is unprecedented!"

"In the past demonic realms, as the strange night falls, a large number of demons will invade Taixuan Divine Mountain."

“But those are just the most common waves.”

“It’s standing on the shore, with waves appearing all the time.”

"But this time, the entire ocean rushed over. It was an unprecedented tsunami."

Following Lu Changsheng's words, the other three fell into silence.

In the past, information about Taixuan Divine Mountain was sent to the holy land.

But something happened in the holy land.

A large number of the high-level officials of the holy land distributed in the three prefectures gathered in Qifeng Prefecture because of the Holy Master.

Therefore, the information about Taixuan Divine Mountain was sent to Qifeng City many times.

The temple priest Lu Changsheng, the temple saint, and Mr. Lu are all high-ranking figures in the city, so they all know the current situation of Taixuan Divine Mountain.

As for Lu Tang, he had always been by Lu Gong's side, so he also knew the current situation of Taixuan Divine Mountain.

Although the Taixuan Mountains faced the threat of the Demon Realm in the past, due to various reasons, those demon kings and evil lords who were above their level failed to reach a consensus and did not act in unison.

But this time, all the demons that surpassed their ranks put in all their efforts, determined to break through the Taixuan Mountains.

Not only did they show up themselves, but they also rushed towards the Taixuan Divine Mountain with the many demons under their command and even the human slaves they kept in captivity!

"The methods currently used by Taixuan Divine Mountain are unable to resist the Demon Realm."

"They are just using human lives to build dams and slow down the tide."

"But before long, a huge tsunami will break the dam."

Lu Changsheng sighed, "Even though you have reached the Soul Refining Realm, you are not a true warrior Soul Refining Realm after all. You have too many drawbacks and shortcomings, and you will be buried there."

Lord Lu stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "People are dying all the time on the front lines. Many young and passionate soldiers have been buried there. What's a pity if an old man like me dies?"

Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice: "If you stay in the capital, you can play a greater role."

"Do you really think so?" Mr. Lu said indifferently.

"..." Lu Changsheng fell silent.

"When I was your age, I was not as smart as you, nor as capable as you." Lu Gong sighed, "When you reach my age in the future, you will definitely surpass me completely... But someone as smart as you is prone to emotionality."

"..." Lu Changsheng did not respond.

"The Supreme Mysterious Dao of the Holy Land can make people lose all emotions and desires, and all kinds of distracting thoughts. It can make people calmer and more rational, and can be called cold-blooded and ruthless."

Mr. Lu said: "I have always had a big prejudice against this technique! But today, it seems that the existence of the Supreme Mysterious Way Supreme Saint Technique is indeed very important..."

He sighed and said, "You knew that Taixuan Mountain needed reinforcements, but you were afraid that your mentor would die in Taixuan Mountain, so you chose to stop them! As a senior official with important decision-making power over the fate of the human race, you did a very bad job!" Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment, and said, "Taixuan Mountain currently does not need someone like you who is old and weak and has great defects in the Refining Spirit Realm."

“The Taixuan Mountains do not lack a Spirit Refining Realm warrior who can charge into battle, but they lack a military advisor who can give advice and plans,” said Lord Lu.

"The leader of the Tianji flag will be back soon." Lu Changsheng said calmly.

"He is the new leader of the banner and is too young." Lord Lu shook his head slightly.

"He is growing very fast." Lu Changsheng replied.

"But many people will die during his growth period," said Mr. Lu.

"So you plan to make plans for the leader of the Tianji Banner before he grows up?" Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment and asked again.

“I am naturally not as good as the leader of the Tianji Banner, but a small half of the high-level officials of the holy land scattered in the three prefectures have already gone there. If we work together, we should be able to buy more time.” Lord Lu said in a deep voice.

"You are needed here in the city."

"But Taixuan Divine Mountain needs me more!"

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent.

The Saint and Lu Tang looked at each other and neither spoke.

"Inside Qifeng Mansion, Jie Jin suffered heavy damage. He won't be able to become a threat in a short period of time!"

After a moment of silence, Lord Lu spoke again: "Although the various forces in the various cities are inevitably selfish and have the idea of ​​fighting for power and profit, with your current power of refining the spirit, control of the temple, trust from the Mother God, respect from the Holy Land, cooperation from the city guards, plus your wisdom... there won't be any chaos at all."

"You know in your heart that if I stay here, I will just be an idler drinking tea, reading books, and waiting for death."

“Only when we go to Taixuan Divine Mountain can I be of some use.”

As Mr. Lu’s voice fell.

Lu Changsheng did not respond.

Just when Lu Tang and the Saint Maiden felt that the atmosphere was extremely depressing, they heard Lu Changsheng speak again.

"If you go, the Saint Master will definitely go too." Lu Changsheng said, "He can't take risks."

"If I don't go, the Saint Master will go." Lord Lu stroked his beard and said, "You know."

"So, you, old man, want to go to Taixuan Divine Mountain first to build momentum for the Holy Master?"

"almost."

"You, old man, are really indulgent to him."

"He has the capital to be indulged by this old man."

"..." Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you really think that he can make a name for himself and allow the human race to stand safely in this world?"

"Hasn't he already broken the shackles once, possessed of great fortune, and become a holy master?" Mr. Lu asked in return.

"The Mother Goddess said that before the Holy Master, there were also beings with great fortune, but after so many years, whose traces have been left?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "I have never thought of placing the hopes of the entire race on one person!"

"He has the strength to move mountains." Lord Lu said calmly.

"He did lift up the mountain of the human race, but how long can he hold it up?" Lu Changsheng asked.

"..." Mr. Lu thought about it and did not respond.

"When he can't hold on any longer, he will be crushed to death, and then the whole mountain will fall down and smash to pieces." Lu Changsheng's tone was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "By then, the human race will be scattered again, allowing the evil spirits to wreak havoc. Maybe they won't perish, but it will take countless generations before they can gradually reunite."

"You..."

Mr. Lu sighed and said, "You are clearly in your prime, but you look more decadent than me!"

"Hope has been shattered too many times. I can't think of a way out for the human race!"

Lu Changsheng sighed, "In ancient times, the leader of the human race who once carried great fortune was unable to maintain the prosperity of the human race, but instead made the situation worse!"

He exhaled and whispered, "In this life, I don't seek the present, only the future!"

"You mean, leaving hope to future generations?"

"Not bad!"

"But in my eyes, you are only leaving disaster to future generations."

"Because in this era, there is no solution to disasters, and there is no hope."

"Before I went to Gaoliu City, I thought so too, but after leaving Gaoliu City..."

Mr. Lu stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Maybe we can't solve the disaster, but we can't give up hope!"

Lu Changsheng did not respond.

As Mr. Lu walked out, he continued, "Today's era and current civilization are the result of countless generations of human beings passing down the legacy!"

"From warriors fighting against evil spirits, to temple priests worshipping gods, to writers writing down traditions, to craftsmen building houses, to chefs studying recipes..."

"From nothing to something, they broke the shackles, and then based on everything they had at the beginning, they worked hard generation after generation to make it better!"

"Every generation before us had a harder time than us."

“Because they didn’t give up, it was passed down to our generation.”

"Look at the refugees in the Pure Land..."

"I always thought that in this era, they can't even survive outside the city, so how can they think about reproducing?"

“Later… I finally understood that those who don’t want to reproduce will have no offspring after they die!”

“Only those who want to reproduce leave descendants!”

"I don't know what you have done recently to cause such despair, but..."

Lord Lu stopped and said, "I am already old. Although I have cultivated my primordial spirit, the disadvantages are too great. My life span has not increased much, and I cannot see a long future! At least, in my later years, I am willing to do my best for the human race..."

After the voice fell, Mr. Lu walked out.

Lu Tang said nothing and followed with big strides.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

The Saint was silent for a moment, then asked, "What on earth did you do?"

Lu Changsheng raised his head, his eyes full of bloodshot.

"Tian Kuixing intends to use all the people in Taixuan Divine Mountain to fight for a year or two of respite for the Three Prefectures, especially the Saint Master!"

"Mr. Lu also knew about this matter, and he passed it on to the higher-ups of the various holy places." The Saint said, "I was there at the time!"

"That night, I set up an altar and performed a ritual to predict the future." Lu Changsheng said in a low voice, "The Saint Master is so young, but his aura is soaring. In just a short period of time, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. I think in a year, he may be able to support the entire human race!"

"You don't want to die?" The Saint said in shock, "How could you predict that he has great luck? If he backfires, you will be reduced to ashes!"

"But I'm not dead."

Lu Changsheng smiled uncomfortably and said in a hoarse voice: "I have prepared for my funeral, but... I am not dead..."

"Saint, do you know what this means?"

"This means that one year from now, the Saint Master with great fortune will no longer exist..."

"You always think that the Saint Master brings hope, but only I know that in just one year, the Saint Master is gone, and hope is gone too."

Unconsciously, he was already in tears, and said with a sad smile: "But I dare not tell him..."
