Chapter 457: Revenge of the Past (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)
"Elder Gu, it takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a moment to deploy it. Now is the time for you to sacrifice yourself for Mother Wangyou. If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Chenzhou and his men will lead a team to encircle and suppress you tonight. You will hold him back for me for a while."

"Master, do you want to do it yourself?"

"I'm still in the Silver Eagle Federation, but someone will take action. We're going to give up the Jiangnan region anyway, so why not use it as bait to lure Lu Chenzhou to take the bait and see if we can take this opportunity to kill him. The Demon King Palace is now recuperating, so it's time to see how we perform."

"Will Lu Chenzhou really come?"

"Apart from the Heavenly King, he is the most powerful grandmaster in the system of the Great Xia Lantern Masters. The Heavenly King of Zhenbei intends to support Lu Chenzhou to become the head of the Jiangnan region. He will definitely come to such a major case." The black-robed shadow said confidently.

"Okay, but I have just entered the realm of elders, and I have only mastered a fifth-level divine art... Leader, I can't seem to restrain him. He can even face the projection of the Red Lotus Demon Lord and remain alive." Gu Qianqian was sweating profusely.

Is the leader serious?
Let her restrain Lu Chenzhou.

"I'll give you a sixth-level magic scroll. If you're lucky, you can even kill him directly. But I think he has a life-saving trump card, so the hope is slim. So you just need to hold him back, and the experts will take action."

"it is good."

Gu Qianqian regained her confidence.

"Elder Gu, don't worry. If you die, Mother Wangyou will lead you to the paradise homeland."

"Through fire and water, no matter what!"

The black-robed shadow disappeared.

Gu Qianqian sat on the ground, looking at the stars and the moon.

Chen Yongjing's figure appeared and sighed:

"Who would have thought that a mere seedling of enlightenment would grow into such a person decades later. If I had known this would happen, I would have risked my life to kill Lu Chenzhou in the trial of Sucheng Longwu in the Fengbo Forest."

Time passes.

Chen Yongjing became a Dharma protector as he wished, but he couldn't be happy. The incident with Feng Bolin was the closest he had ever been to strangling Lu Chenzhou, but unfortunately there was no if.

……

time flies.

A hundred miles away from the old site of Jinling, Lu Chenzhou said, "Senior sister, you lead the team to ambush here. If there are any fish that slip through the net, they can be killed on the spot. I will go for a round."

"Junior brother, be careful. Although there are not many strong people in the Ancient God Church, they are all very cunning and their magic is strange. If you encounter a crisis, saving your life is the first priority." Lin Xia said.

The next moment, Lu Chenzhou's figure quietly disappeared into the shadows, as if he had never been there. Lin Xia was stunned.

"This... what kind of method is this? I feel that even if it is Junior Brother Wang's [Floating Clouds Free and Easy Way], it is far inferior to Junior Brother in terms of hiding the body. It's incredible."

She still underestimated her junior's strength.

……

"Chen Yongjing, are you scared?"

Gu Qianqian suddenly asked.

"When alive, I am a human being. When dead, I am a ghost!"

Chen Yongjing is righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Then if Lu Chenzhou comes, you use the fifth-level magic scroll [Heavenly Illusionary Body] that I gave you to hold Lu Chenzhou back for a while, so that I can use my killing move..."

"Protector, me? To hold back Lu Chenzhou?"

Chen Yongjing suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Can't you?"

"let me try."

Chen Yongjing clenched his fists.

He kept recalling the past scenes in his mind. "Elder, if you kill Lu Chenzhou, Forget-Sorrow Mother should help you become the leader... At that time, I will still follow you, I just want the position of elder."

"Elder?"

"Elder?"

Gu Qianqian did not answer Chen Yongjing.

"She's dead."

A calm voice came from the silent night sky, which made Chen Yongjing feel a chill down his spine. He recited scriptures and looked in the direction of Gu Qianqian.

Gu Qianqian disappeared...

He looked around, his divine power dispersed, and he didn't even find where the murderer was? He knew that Lu Chenzhou was coming.

What happened to the promise to contain Lu Chenzhou?
Where is the promised sixth-level magic scroll?
As a result, in the blink of an eye, an elder of the Xinle Sect who was comparable to a grand master disappeared from the face of the earth.

This death is too hasty, isn't it?

How strong is Lu Chenzhou? Even if a powerful Heavenly King came to close the net in person, he would have to listen to the noise, right?
Feelings of fear and despair surged in my heart.

The next moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of Chen Yongjing. He was wearing a white robe and standing with his hands behind his back.

"Long time no see, Chen Yongjing."

"You... Lu Chenzhou..."

Chen Yongjing still wanted to resist, but in the face of the domineering aura that carried the majesty of a real dragon, he was unable to move.

He had no chance to use the magic scroll at all, and was turned into meat paste by Lu Chenzhou's palm in the air.

"ended."

Lu Chenzhou released the Bloody Hell Ghost King.

"Kill them all."

Anyone who has been bewitched by the evil god will basically have no chance of changing their mind. At the same time, under the constraints of the evil god's power, no useful clues can be obtained by questioning.

The sea of ​​blood descended, and although in the human world, its power was far less than that of the small world, it was still able to cover an area of ​​dozens of miles, turning all the cultists hiding in the old site into blood.

From the time he appeared to the time this branch was destroyed, it took less than ten breaths of time, which made him a little confused.

"As the largest branch in Jiangnan, there is only one elder? And he is a weakling who has just been promoted."

……

"Junior brother, is it over?"

Lin Xia's eyelashes trembled and her eyes were shaken. "Well, what about other places?"

Lu Chenzhou asked.

"The battle is still going on, but we are well prepared. After tonight, we should be able to wipe them out."

Lin Xia smiled.

"Sister, please go and provide support elsewhere first. I will continue exploring here. I feel something is fishy."

Lu Chenzhou disappeared into the darkness.

Lin Xia led the team away.

……

After a period of time.

In the night sky above the old site of Jinling City, a white-faced scholar in green clothes quietly descended from the shattered void.

It is a white-faced man with the body of a celestial ghost.

One of the twenty-four kings of the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom.

"Why is it so quiet? Has the battle not started yet? Where's Gu Qianqian...did she escape from the battlefield?"

The white-faced young man looked solemn.

The vast spiritual power of the Heavenly Ghost spread out and swept across the entire city. Suddenly, it snorted coldly, stretched out its hand and waved it. Its long green sleeves grew longer in the wind and hit somewhere in an instant.

Lu Chenzhou's figure emerged from the shadows.

"As expected of a celestial ghost, your perception is indeed sharp."

During this year of seclusion, he had cultivated the Shadow Way, which he used more often, to the second level. With his Grandmaster cultivation, even a Heavenly King might not be able to find his trace if he didn't look carefully.

"Lu Chenzhou, you are so brave!"

The white-faced man's expression changed slightly, and he slapped Lu Chenzhou in the air without hesitation. A pale ghost claw wrapped in the power of heaven and earth pressed down.

The giant palm fell and hit nothing.

Lu Chenzhou's figure appeared on the horizon.

He had already guessed the intentions of the Ancient God Church.

Safety first, running is the best option.

The White-Faced Man did not dare to chase him. He was confused and worried that Lu Chenzhou was a bait and that he was afraid of being ambushed by the Parliament of All Nations, so he hurriedly tore through the void and retreated.

The assassination plan came to nothing!

……

Silver Eagle Federation.

In front of Master Ming, the shadow of a white-faced man appeared.

"Humph! You almost killed me."

"what happened?"

"When I went there, the battle was over. All the believers in the branch died at the hands of Lu Chenzhou."

"What? I gave Gu Qianqian a sixth-level magic scroll. Even though Lu Chenzhou is very strong, she can seriously injure him as long as she tears up the scroll."

"Lu Chenzhou has mastered some difficult escaping skills. He should have comprehended the Way of Void or Shadow. No wonder he was able to escape from the attack of the Blood Prison Ghost King. It will be even more troublesome to kill him next time."

……

The next day.

Dawn breaks.

The news spread in the Parliament of All Nations that Chief Wanxiang led a team of Jiangnan lamplighters and wiped out more than 20 branches of the Ancient God Church in the Jiangnan area overnight!
Elder Gu Qianqian, Dharma Protector Chen Yongjing and eight other high-ranking Dharma Protectors and above all died in this crackdown.

……

Vientiane Road.

After Lu Chenzhou returned triumphantly, he handed over many spoils including the sixth-level divine scroll to the Lighting Department. Overnight, more than a thousand candlelights were collected.

He opened the Zhulong store.

[Heavenly Treasure: Blood-Crying Star Divine Iron, this item was found by Yao Chi Immortal in a medium-sized world, worth 1000 candlelight, and can be used to forge supreme divine weapons.]

"This is it. A top-grade divine weapon can no longer keep up with my strength." Lu Chenzhou exchanged it, and a piece of white meteorite the size of a human head was teleported from the [Zhulong Source Space] to his storage ring.

"I still need the heavenly grade [Spiritual Jade Dew] to reforge the Tiger Soul Ten Thousand Souls Spear. The Council of Ten Thousand Nations and the sect's treasury don't have it either, so I have to find a way myself."

Lu Chenzhou was thinking.

The projection of Zhenbei Heavenly King emerged.

"Chen Zhou, you have done a good job. The Jiangnan region should be able to be stable for a while. I plan to make an exception and promote you to a senior lantern holder, with the same power as the Heavenly King."

"Thank you, senior."

"We still need to hold an internal meeting to approve this matter, and it is uncertain whether it can be accomplished. Anyway, you will be in charge of guarding the Jiangnan region in the future. The higher your prestige, the more beneficial it will be for you to control the Heavenly Man Ranking."

"Okay... By the way, I suspect that the Ancient God Church in the Jiangnan area evacuated on purpose. It was too easy for us to take them down." Lu Chenzhou said.

"It seems that you have also discovered that, yes, the evil gods in the forbidden area are changing their strategy. They found that it is very difficult to fight us on the basis of faith, so they plan to cut off the source of our practice methods, and spread evil methods everywhere through the grassroots people's desire for power. At present, many people have gone astray..." Zhenbei Tianwang shared some high-level secret intelligence with Lu Chenzhou.

“So, some of the mysterious and supernatural organizations that have emerged recently are, in essence, also sects of evil gods.” Lu Chenzhou said in a serious tone.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

These evil gods are truly a stubborn disease.

"The popularization of martial arts has a long way to go, and not everyone has a firm will for martial arts. For many grassroots people, they care more about the power in front of them."

Zhenbei Tianwang sighed.

He continued:

"So, the Heavenly Man Martial Arts Realm is extremely important. If we can evolve the Supreme Martial Arts Realm, the Xia Realm will also benefit from it, promoting its status to rise. The Xia Realm martial arts will also be easier than before... Ordinary people will naturally stop seeking evil ways if they have hope."
