The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 485 A Word is a Law

The second city on the ancient human route!
The area around the central square was once again teeming with people.

Most of them were just there to join in the fun.

Of course, there must be quite a few people among them who have something on their minds and want to know about the trial situation in the Ancient Dojo as soon as possible.

They wanted to know whether their clansmen had succeeded or not, and whether they had managed to obtain the Source of Dao from the Overlord Immortal.

After the twelve gates in the center of the square were opened one after another.

All eyes were fixed on the center of the square.

Immediately afterwards, everyone present saw figures rushing out of the twelve gates one after another, as if they had done something wrong.

At the same time, not long afterward, the expressions of the people who had gathered near the square changed drastically.

Within a short period of time, some people learned about what had happened inside the Taigu Dojo from those who had safely left.

They were horrified!

There was also fear.

His eyes were fixed on the twelve open gates in the center of the square.

Some people's gazes, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Commander-in-Chief Yu Han and Yan Chifeng.

Yan Chifeng was surrounded by a group of Yan people in the center.

It was clear that their faces were extremely grim; the phrase "gloomy and somber" was no longer sufficient to describe it.

Like them, there is also Yu Han.

If you look closely, you'll notice that Yu Han's gloomy face is twitching incessantly.

As time passed, nearly half an hour flew by, and it was almost time to completely close the Ancient Dojo.

During this time, Yu Han never saw the alien beings who had approached him leave the Ancient Dojo.

This dashed his last glimmer of hope.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he spoke loudly.

"The time has come; close the training ground!"

Upon hearing him announce the closure of the dojo, some people's expressions changed, while others were secretly delighted.

Those who were overjoyed, like Yu Han, wanted to trap Ba Xian to death in the Ancient Dojo.

Among those whose expressions changed, an old man spoke up.

"and many more!"

"The dojo cannot be closed!"

"There are still Ba Xian and his group who haven't left the dojo. There's no way they could have perished inside the dojo!"

"According to the rules, Grand Commander, you should first use the Primordial Dao Mirror to examine the situation within the Dao Temple before deciding whether to close it."

This old man was also a prominent figure in the Second City, a subordinate of the Guide, and had always been somewhat at odds with Yu Han.

He had already keenly sensed the abnormality of Yu Han and the situation on the spot, and secretly guessed that there would probably be major changes in the Ancient Dojo during this trial.

Therefore, he stepped forward at this moment, speaking with an upright and righteous air, adhering to the rules.

However, upon hearing him say this, Yu Han gave him an extremely cold look and then spoke.

"No need. The time has come, and the Ancient Dojo should be closed immediately. This is the rule."

Of course, Yu Han couldn't use the Ancient Dao Mirror to check the situation inside the Ancient Dao Field.

Not to mention that a few days ago, he ordered someone to bring the Primordial Dao Mirror into the Primordial Dao Field, where it fell into Lu Zhou's hands, and now he no longer has the Primordial Dao Mirror in his possession.

Even if the Primordial Dao Mirror were still in his hands, Yu Han would not listen to the old man and use the Primordial Dao Mirror to check the situation inside the Primordial Dao Field.

He doesn't want to waste a single second now.

Their only intention was to trap Ba Xian and his group within the Ancient Dojo, hoping they would be killed by some awakened Holy Beast Kings within the Ancient Dojo.

In this way, he can also cover up some of his furtive actions these days.

Therefore, while Yu Han was saying this, he had already given another order to some of his trusted subordinates, ordering them to close the dojo immediately, without giving anyone else a chance to stop him.

'Rumble'

The twelve gates in the center of the square rumbled and closed completely in an instant.

Seeing this, not only Yu Han but also others breathed a sigh of relief.

Near the square, there were also many people who breathed a sigh of relief, their faces breaking into smiles.

But soon, the smiles that had just crept onto their faces froze completely.

because
With a deafening boom, a sound as loud as the creation of the world reverberated in the ears of everyone near the square.

The central square trembled violently, as if a major earthquake had occurred.

Everyone present was taken aback and looked in the direction from which the explosion came.

Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Then, one of the twelve completely closed portals suddenly exploded open.

Kane took the lead, riding his tall and mighty Qilin beast, his dragon spear pointing to the sky, carrying an overwhelming and terrifying aura, like a divine knight who had fought his way out of hell, bursting out of the door that he had blasted apart with his spear.

The void trembled and cracked, seemingly unable to withstand the force of the Qilin beast stomping on it.

Before the people near the square could recover from the shock,

Then everyone saw the Golden-Winged Roc King, another follower of Ba Xian, and Hong Luan, who had been traveling with Ba Xian and the others all day.

They also rode their two sacred birds, the Golden Roc and the Colorful Phoenix, closely following behind Kane as they strolled out of the blasted-open portal.

Once outside the gate, they immediately dispersed to the left and right, their cold eyes scrutinizing everyone present before finally settling on Commander Yu Han.

Yu Han stood there, his hands behind his back suddenly clenched into iron fists.

Just then, another noise came from behind the blown-open door.

A dragon's roar seemed to transcend time and space, coming from ancient times. It shook people's souls, caused the stars to fall, and made all the savage beasts and divine birds in the Second City tremble in fear, as if awakening a fear hidden in their blood and bones.

Ripples appeared in the void, and a huge stone dragon head came into view of everyone around the square.

Immediately following was Lu Zhou, dressed in white with his dark hair slightly raised, standing atop the dragon's head like a banished immortal.

He was so perfect that it felt like a dream, so otherworldly that he seemed untouched by any worldly affairs, as if he shouldn't exist in this world at all, but rather descended from the celestial realm, or stepped out of a painting in people's imaginations.

Rhythmic ripples spread across the void, like pebbles thrown into a mirror-like lake, creating gentle waves.

This is a scene of the Holy Spirit Dragon carrying the continent, its claws treading on the void.

A shocking turn of events soon occurred again.

Without any warning, as Lu Zhou and the Holy Spirit Dragon strolled out of the Ancient Dojo, Kane thrust his spear at Yu Han, who was standing in the central square.

This single shot caused the heavens and earth to tremble, its holy might overwhelming all directions, alarming all living beings within the Second City.

"Be bold!"

Yu Han's eyes were bloodshot, and with a roar, he burst out from his chest and abdomen.

He never expected that Ba Xian and his group would be so arrogant, conceited, and incredibly audacious.

In full view of everyone, right here in the city square, he dared to disregard the city's rule against arbitrary violence and attempt to kill him, the dignified commander of the Second City.

Yu Han had prepared many arguments as a backup plan in case things went wrong.

For example, he had already planned that if Ba Xian and the others were to leave the Ancient Dojo in the end, he would shift all the blame onto the captain of the soldiers who led the team into the Ancient Dojo.

He would say that it was due to his momentary carelessness that he believed the lie and was tricked by the sergeant into giving away the Ancient Dao Mirror that he was in charge of.

He would also say that it was because he had failed to manage his subordinates properly and had not done his job well that he had failed to discover that his sergeant had dared to collude with other soldiers to sneak into the Ancient Daoist Temple while he was not paying attention!

He prepared many excuses for himself.

That's enough to completely absolve him of any responsibility.

Even if there are survivors, witnesses, or evidence of memories left in the primordial spirit, he can still claim that they are all so-called witnesses or 'evidence' that have been controlled by some unknown evil magic or have been altered.

He was confident that, as the Grand Commander of the Second City of the Human Race, he could easily distort the truth.

Even if things go wrong, for the sake of the bigger picture, both the guide and the enforcers on this ancient road would side with him.

The Ancient Path of Humanity must not be exposed to any public opinion regarding violations by administrators, and even less should it be revealed that any administrators personally intervened to harm the trial participants.

Yu Han believes that this is the big picture.

It is the overall situation that all the managers, guides, and ancient law enforcers of this term will protect.

He was confident that even if Ba Xian and the others knew that he was the one who did all this, they couldn't do anything to him now.

Just like some of the trial participants he had oppressed in the past.

They could only silently swallow the bitter pill.

They dared not do anything disrespectful to him.

At most, they might grumble and spread some rumors, but it's impossible for them to cause him any real harm.

Yu Han believed that he would still be the supreme leader of this second city, enjoying this high and mighty prestige.

But he had planned everything meticulously.

He never expected that Ba Xian and his group would be so audacious and incomparably powerful.

They didn't argue with him at all.

He didn't even publicly explain his actions that had provoked the wrath of the trial participants.

Instead, after leaving the Ancient Dojo, they didn't bother to say another word to him and immediately attacked him. They completely disregarded him as their commander.

They even disregarded city regulations.

This rendered all the excuses Yu Han had prepared beforehand meaningless, unspoken words.

"You're asking for it."

"How dare you attack your commander in broad daylight! You are all traitors to the human race!"

Yu Han roared, his voice sharp on the outside but weak on the inside.

While shouting, he reacted very quickly.

After all, he had been a saint for over 2,400 years, and now he had almost stepped into the realm of the Saint King.

Therefore, his combat strength should not be underestimated.

Seeing Kane charge at him without a word, Yu Han immediately raised a star banner to meet the attack.

As he waved the banner, countless stars suddenly appeared and bombarded Kane.

All of this happened so fast that it shocked most of the people present.

Not only Yu Han, but he also didn't expect that Ba Xian and his group would be so bold, daring to openly violate the city rules and kill him without saying a word in front of everyone.

Most of the people present, including Qing Shi and Ling'er in a restaurant in the distance, did not expect that Ba Xian and his group would be so powerful and audacious.

"boom"

The dragon spear pierced the sky with a deafening roar, and stars shattered one after another.

Kane and Yu Han quickly exchanged blows, and the aftershocks of that battle, carrying the immense power to shatter the heavens, swept outwards in all directions.

If it weren't for the powerful array protecting the city, the city square, which had been built over countless years, would probably have been destroyed by the sudden attack of their battle.

"presumptuous!"

"Are you all planning a rebellion?!"

"Brightly in front of everyone, he openly violated the city rules and attempted to murder the Grand Commander of the Second City of the Ancient Road of the Human Race!"

"Come on! Ba Xian and his gang have rebelled! They are traitors to our human race and deserve to be killed by everyone!"

"Everyone, follow me and kill them all to uphold justice."

Kane and Yu Han are still locked in a fierce battle.

In a short period of time, they had exchanged more than ten blows, and judging from the current situation, they seemed to be evenly matched.

At this moment, some people finally came to their senses from this sudden and astonishing scene.

Another trusted sergeant of Yu Han seemed to suddenly emanate a righteous light from his body.

He shouted righteously and forcefully, pinning one huge blame after another on Ba Xian and his group.

They were called traitors to humanity.

The goal is to incite everyone present to kill Ba Xian and his group in public, in order to uphold the laws of the ancient human path.

Believe it or not, quite a few people are actually echoing his sentiments.

Those people were either guilty, had offended the powerful immortals, or coveted the source of the Dao.

Not only did they echo each other, but some others, like the captain, also brandished their weapons, shouting slogans such as "Slay the human traitors and uphold the laws of the ancient road," and prepared to attack Ba Xian and the others together.

"laugh"

Seeing this scene, both Hongluan and the Golden-Winged Roc King were so angry they laughed.

What is human rebellion?

"What exactly are these so-called ancient road laws and regulations?"

"Yu Han, as the commander of the second city of the ancient road, broke the law in order to obtain the source of the Dao from the Overlord Immortal. He colluded with the alien races who had smuggled themselves into the city and secretly allowed them to enter the Primordial Dao Arena to murder our human race's trial participants."

"After this failed, Yu Han once again violated the rules of the Ancient Road Trial, breaking the law once more. He dispatched his trusted soldiers, who personally carried the Primordial Dao Mirror into the Primordial Dao Arena, intending to harm us."

Hongluan sneered, her beautiful eyes filled with contempt, regarding the scumbags present as dirt.

As she spoke these words, an ancient mirror rose from her outstretched palm.

Upon seeing the ancient mirror, some onlookers immediately exclaimed that it was the Primordial Dao Mirror that controlled the Primordial Dao Field.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

A constant stream of gasps of horror filled the air.

Countless people were shocked and horrified.

They all looked at Yu Han, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Divine Knight Kane, with disbelief.

Yu Han wanted to speak up and forcefully argue his point with the excuse he had prepared beforehand.

But Kane's power exceeded his expectations.

To this day, he and Kane have fought for nearly a hundred rounds. Yu Han has been a saint for many years and is almost halfway to the Saint King realm, but now he is gradually falling into a disadvantageous position in the great battle with Kane.

Exhausted from defending himself, Yu Han was already terrified and had no energy left to defend himself or save face.

His confidants, and some people like Yan Chifeng who had already stood against Ba Xian, also wanted to say something.

But before they could speak, Hongluan, with her long black hair slightly tossed, questioned everyone present with eyes as sharp as knives.

"Tell me, what exactly is human rebellion?"

"What is this ancient road law?"

Hongluan raised her hand and pointed at Yu Han, then at Yu Han's confidants, and then at all the people who were about to charge at them.
"Do they even deserve to wear this skin and this armor and become the managers and enforcers of my human race's ancient road city?"

"What right or face do these lawless, despicable scoundrels have to label us as traitors to the human race with just a word?"

This scene is destined to be remembered by everyone in the Second City for a long time.

High above the square, Hongluan, dressed in a red gown with her skirt swaying slightly, stood like a fairy descending to earth on the back of a five-colored phoenix, her question silencing everyone present.

People looked up, their gazes filled with a variety of emotions as they looked up at her high in the sky.

Bathed in the radiant sunlight, Hongluan seemed to be draped in layers of divine radiance.

This is what truly represents the light of the righteous path.

Hongluan's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally powerful, rumbling and echoing throughout the second city.

Hongluan, who had always appeared very calm and stood quietly atop the Holy Spirit Dragon's head, seemingly unconcerned about the matter, looked towards Lu Zhou, who had left it to Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King to handle.

Lu Zhou's lips curled slightly, but he said nothing.

The Golden-Winged Roc King smiled, thinking to himself that Hongluan's path had now been widened considerably.

Based on his understanding of Lu Zhou, he believed that Lu Zhou would make an exception and take Hong Luan as his maid.

At the same time, the Golden-Winged Roc King now understood why, back in the Ancient Daoist Temple, after they had killed that group of soldiers, Hongluan had taken the initiative to ask them to give her the Ancient Daoist Mirror for a while.

It turned out that since they hadn't left a single witness alive, she planned to use this Ancient Dao Mirror as evidence to solidify the crimes of the Grand Commander and his associates.

Thinking of this, the Golden-Winged Roc King shook his head with a smile.

He couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Hongluan.

"Haven't you always wondered why our lord, who always seems so peaceful and kind, and who never appears domineering, is revered by everyone as the Overlord Immortal, and not some other kind of immortal or honorific title?"

"This is because you still know too little about the Lord!"

"But it doesn't matter. I think after today, not only you, but everyone else on this ancient road will understand why our lord is revered as the Overlord Immortal!"

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Hongluan still seemed somewhat confused, glancing at the Golden-Winged Roc King with a puzzled look in her eyes.

The Golden-Winged Roc King didn't elaborate further, simply telling her to watch over things from here on out, and admonishing Hongluan.

“Hongluan, remember this: for our lord, he never needs any evidence, nor are there any rules or laws that can restrain him!”

“From a very, very long time ago, every word he uttered has been evidence, a rule, and a law.”

"The Lord is the law, and His word is law!"

As he spoke, images that he would forever remember flashed through the mind of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

Decades ago, in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, beyond the Fire Domain!

There was a man who smiled brightly, but in just a few words, without any evidence, he domineeringly pinned the crime of being attacked by a wisp of supreme imperial might on the Yao Guang Holy Land.

He didn't care how the other party tried to justify himself, nor did he care how others talked about him or how they viewed him.

He only cares about what he believes in.

And in response, they immediately launched a retaliatory operation.

He challenged Kong Yuanfei, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, to a duel.

Stirring up a storm in the divine city, gambling away the Yaoguang Stone Archway.

In the end, Kong Yuanfei was forced to fake his death to escape and drive out the Yao Guang Ruthless Clan.

He then took control of Yao Guang, becoming the new Holy Son of Yao Guang, and also gained the Holy Daughter of Yao Guang.

From that time on, anyone who knew all this understood just how powerful and domineering Lu Zhou really was.

He doesn't need any evidence, and he's never bothered to argue with anyone.

Along the way, there were no rules or laws that could be imposed on him.

Because his words are evidence, they are the rules.

His word is law!
