Chapter 374 Invite the Holy Master to become the Holy Lord!
This area of ​​land is dark.

Only the gems embedded on all sides shine like moonlight.

These orbs all came from the Holy Land's Weapon Refining Hall. They are interconnected to form a large formation.

This formation draws power from the dark rivers flowing deep underground, and shines for a long time.

This little bit of light brought a glimmer of hope to the endless darkness.

But hope is too slim and has turned into disappointment, and today, it is close to despair!
And the wave of outbreak has become even more violent today!

The shouts came one after another, extremely chaotic, and mixed with murderous intent!
"Why is there only one bowl of porridge today? Do you want to starve me to death?"

"There is clearly still a large amount of food in the storehouse, why aren't you taking it out?"

"Did you withhold the grain, resell the silver, or exchange it for some treasure?"

"Where is the Holy Lord?"

“We want to get out!”

"I said before that we would hide for a while. How many days have passed? Are you trying to kill us and make room for your descendants?"

"The people of my Holy Land are actually living worse than those refugees outside the Pure Land?"

"Let me tell you, my ancestors also served in the Taixuan Mountains. Don't bully us!"

"Why hasn't the Holy Lord come to administer justice?"

“Let us out!!!”

……

Deep in the formation.

There are hundreds of people gathered here.

Here are the elders, deacons, disciples, etc. from each lineage who were ordered to stay behind.

"The current situation in the outside world is unclear, and we don't know how long we have to wait in the battle array. We must save food for now. No matter how big the turmoil is, we can't open this loophole!"

"It's OK for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, something unexpected will happen."

"The people of the Holy Land are different from the people of the outside world. They cannot be satisfied by simply distributing food every day and giving them clothes at the change of seasons."

"The ones who made the most noise were those who had no worries about food and clothing and enjoyed wealth. They were most dissatisfied with their current situation where they could only barely survive."

"And most of these people come from good families, so it's hard to suppress them by force."

"But if we don't come up with a solution for a long time, we won't be able to convince the people and changes will definitely happen."

"..."

All the senior executives present had complicated expressions.

They were responsible for guarding the holy land under the order of the Holy Lord.

Before the Holy Lord got into trouble, he was afraid that one day something strange would happen and he would not have enough time to relocate all the people in the holy land.

Now it is just as the Holy Lord expected. Even though he had arranged in advance for people from the Holy Land to disperse into the three prefectures one after another, the unexpected events still happened too quickly!

When the incident happened, there were still a large number of people left in the holy land. In order to avoid being affected, they had no choice but to move into the underground formation.

This large formation took nearly twenty years to build, and preparations began after the Holy Lord was attacked that year.

From widening the underground rock layer to setting up formations, they continuously stored food, raised livestock, and tried to plant various trees and vines that could survive in the underground formation, hoping that every season they would be able to grow branches and leaves, and bear fruits for use as food.

Logically speaking, the food stored so far, the livestock raised, and the spiritual plants that will be grown with the help of the formation in the future, if they are frugal, will be enough for everyone living under the underground formation today to make a living.

After all, what was predicted at the beginning was the worst possible outcome... When the Holy Lord fell, this world became a forbidden area.

This formation can barely protect the forbidden area from disasters and can last for about sixty years!
"Since the attack on the Holy Lord, all our preparations have been for survival. It was too hasty after all! We didn't have enough time to deal with the changes in people's hearts, which led to the chaos today..."

The old man in the lead said solemnly, "If the Holy Lord is fine, he will open the formation. Now that the Holy Lord is silent, the outside world must have become a forbidden area! We can't get out of the formation now, and we are living off our savings. If we don't save money, order will be disrupted and the consequences will be disastrous!"

"What should we do now? Should we suppress it by force?" another middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"Forcible suppression will not convince the people, and this will cause endless troubles!" The old man said this, and then he pondered, "Have you found the source of the unrest behind it?"

"I found it."

A young man stepped forward and said, "When the Holy Lord was attacked, the head of the three sects lost control and affected his followers, but a small number of them were out at the time and were not affected, so they were not executed... But their relatives were slaughtered, and they were resentful, so they took action at this time to incite people!"

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "They are adding fuel to the fire, but the real spark... is still because of the current situation, which has indeed caused dissatisfaction among the people! Moreover, at the beginning, there were some low-level disciples who took advantage of their power to bully others, which aggravated the chaos among the people..."

The middle-aged man whispered, "Those disciples who bullied others by taking advantage of their power have been killed, but the current situation cannot be improved."

The young man hesitated and asked, "If so, are we going to turn the holy land into ruins and make it a forbidden place? Should we make it public?"

"no!"

Another old man in the Qi Refining Realm shook his head and said, "This will cause even greater panic, and in desperation, order will collapse, and people will die immediately, and many people will die!"

"Our original intention was that as time went on, everyone would gradually accept the current situation. After a year or so, when the time was right and everyone had their own guesses, we could be honest with each other and feel at ease."

"But now the situation is obviously wrong, and someone has already brought up the conflict!"

"If they were refugees, they would have no worries about food and clothing here and would be content, but they are not refugees after all."

"There is a group of smart scholars who see things more clearly. They are aware of the current situation and are willing to cooperate, tide over the difficulties together, and comfort the people for us!"

“But more people were eventually swept up by the general trend and became part of the wave of civil unrest… Among them were more than a dozen scholars from the academy who were conceited with intelligence but were actually stupid and could not see the current situation clearly, so they were used as the front.”

"Now, some people in the academy have even started to shout, 'The Holy Lord is incompetent, and he will die to atone for his sins.'"

"If this continues, there will be a bloody battle within half a month at the latest!"

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

"If the holy land has become a forbidden area, then once the formation is opened, no one will survive."

"I suggest that we make the truth known to the public, rather than have internal strife and bloodshed!"

"If we still can't suppress them in the end, we can only conduct a bloodbath and get rid of these fools who don't care about their lives!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became quiet.

After a long while, the old man shook his head and said, "No, they are not unforgivable prisoners on death row. They are just human beings from my holy land."

Another young man said in a deep voice: "If we don't get rid of them, they will be a disaster. Once the formation is opened, everyone will die."

"The real rioters are actually just a small group of people. They are the ones who started the wave! As long as we get rid of this small group of people, there is still hope. Otherwise, if the chaos continues, it will be difficult for us to survive..."

All eyes were focused on the old man at the top.

This old man who is at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm is the head of the third lineage of the holy land.

"This matter is not subject to any of the laws of the Holy Land. If there is hope for this to happen in the future..."

The head of the Three Sects said in a deep voice: "Those of us who make decisions here should lose our heads if punished by the Punishment Hall!"

The young man just now said in a cold voice: "It doesn't matter if you lose your head. We can't just watch them cause chaos and kill them all. As long as we can save a group of people... after the bloodbath, I will be the executioner and be buried with them!"

Everyone opened their mouths and started talking.

After a while, the head of the Three Sects raised his hand and said, "Now that things have come to this, I will personally come forward to make this matter public, explain the pros and cons, and tell the truth..."

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

"Our peers are now scattered throughout the three prefectures."

"There are changes in the Holy Land today. I believe that they can..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside!

And the voices from the outside world are getting louder and louder.

"Except the Holy Lord, no one can open the formation!"

"Now that the Holy Lord has not opened this formation, he must have been harmed by them!"

"If we want to escape from this desperate place, we have to seize the center of the formation to open the formation and escape!" "Break in!"

"kill!"

-

In the holy land.

Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly.

He opened the third book and immediately put it in his arms.

He sensed the changes and turbulence in the underground formation.

"master?"

The little white ape whispered, "There's something wrong with the turbulence down there..."

Lin Yan nodded and said, "When people are in desperate situations, they will almost go crazy. When they think they are in a desperate situation, they will no longer have any scruples."

Upon hearing this, the little white ape said, "We have fought Jie Jin so many times, and it was an invisible struggle between the human race and the old gods! But this time, we can really see the internal struggle of the human race, right?"

"This is what the Holy Lord wants me to see."

Lin Yan sighed and said, “As the leader of the human race, sometimes he has to guard not only against external enemies, not only against Jie Jin, and even not only against evil people... but also against his own people in the Holy Land!”

He looked down and said, "The Holy Lord had been on the top of the mountain before, watching the open and secret struggles in the underground formation, but he did not choose to open this formation!"

"Firstly, he has run out of energy and his last bit of energy is left on me!"

"Secondly, he wanted me to see this scene and understand that as a high-ranking member of the human race, I have to deal with some terrible things!"

"The third is to let me open this formation, open up a way out for them in this desperate situation, and win their support."

Having said this, Lin Yan drew out the Zhaoye Divine Sword and said, "Holy Lord, this is a good idea, but I don't think I need it!"

boom! ! !
He swung his sword fiercely and slashed the ground!

-

Under the underground formation, the conflict just started, it was noisy and chaotic!
Order has completely collapsed and chaos is rampant!
Something happened to the Holy Lord!
Apart from the Holy Lord, no one else can open the formation from the outside world!

Only by snatching the talisman that controls the formation can they escape!

But right now!
Loud bang!

The world is spinning!

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

Everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and looked up in a daze, looking towards the source of the white light reflected from the sky.

That's a huge crack!

A gap was cut in the earth!
A gap was torn in the formation!
Above the gap, there was a man standing with a knife in his hand, looking down.

The light shone on his body, and through the crack, it shone into the ground below.

A huge shadow was cast on everyone.

"The Holy Lord has passed away, and this holy place has been destroyed!"

Lin Yan said slowly: "I will temporarily take over the position of Holy Lord and take over the Holy Land!"

"Who are you?"

The head of the Three Sects shouted loudly, "In our holy land, there has never been a person like you? Are people from the outside world qualified to take over the affairs of the holy land?"

"I am the Inspector of the Three Prefectures of the Heavenly Supervision Department, Wuchang!"

Lin Yan said calmly: "When the Holy Lord saw me, he called me the teacher of all ages!"

The uproar broke out in the formation in an instant, like a wave, rising and falling!

"Holy Master!"

"He is the Holy Master!"

"Saint Master saved us from death, he is truly our reborn parents!"

Everyone dropped their weapons and no longer had any thoughts of conflict. They just felt like they had escaped death and couldn't help crying for joy.

Although more people were swept up by the general trend and were still confused in their hearts, they also knew that the arrival of the Holy Master had prevented a tragic event with rivers of blood!

……

Something is wrong!
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the head of the three sects.

The old man had a complicated expression and nodded slightly.

In an instant, Lin Yan understood.

This first master of the three meridians recognized me from the very beginning!
From the very first words he said, he was trying to build momentum in the name of his Holy Master!

"Welcome to the Holy Master!!!"

The head of the Three Sects threw away the magic sword in his hand, bowed down, and shouted loudly: "Please ask the Holy Master to administer justice!!!"

Listening to the shouts coming from below.

The little white ape whispered, "His acting skills are a bit poor, not as good as ours."

"The acting is a little bit poor, but the play is real."

Lin Yan sheathed his sword and said slowly, "Let's wrap it up and go to Taixuan Divine Mountain!"

-

Half a day later.

The people in the underground formation moved out one after another. Looking at the holy land that had turned into ruins, they all burst into tears and wailed.

Homes were destroyed and everyone was at a loss.

A low haze shrouded the land.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Yan looked at the head of the three veins and said calmly.

"The Holy Land is too peaceful, and these people cannot endure hardships." The head of the Three Sects whispered, "It was fine in the past, after all, the Holy Land was stable, but now... they have to suffer a little."

"The holy land needs to be rebuilt." Lin Yan said.

"I will leave a group of relatively stable people behind to rebuild the holy land."

The head of the Three Sects said slowly: "According to the laws of the Holy Land, all other troublemakers will be executed!"

Lin Yan frowned and said, "It's a bit heavy."

The head of the Three Veins smiled and said, "I also know that it is a bit heavy...so Saint Master can plead for them."

Lin Yan said slowly: "Is this also the method that the Holy Lord left for me to win people's hearts?"

The head of the Three Sects did not speak, but only pondered and said: "Some of the people who caused the chaos this time knew that if the formation was broken, everyone would die, and they planned to drag everyone to death with them."

"These people will be a big trouble if they stay. I will clean them out myself!"

"Most of the other rioters were instigated. I plan to disperse them to the three prefectures to rebuild the Haiya Pure Land, expand Fengcheng, and Gaoliu New City...especially the warriors, and transfer them to the front line."

“Only after going through hardships and difficulties can we know that peace and stability are hard to come by.”

After a pause, he looked at Lin Yan and said, "However, these people are not important. The most important thing right now is that the Holy Land's Supreme Guardian is in the hands of the Holy Master! If you are willing to become the next Holy Master, you will be able to convince everyone!"

As his voice fell, he bowed down and said, "Please, Holy Master, become the Holy Lord!"

Lin Yan looked at him quietly, and after a moment, he said: "People like me cannot be the leader of the human race!"
