I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 286 - 205: Mr. Lu’s Mistake! Lin Yan’s Blade!

High Willow City, Linjiang Square, Mr. Lu’s courtyard.

The sky was approaching evening, gradually dimming to a dusky yellow.

Atop the wicker chair, Mr. Lu lay on it, yawning, placing the bamboo fan over his face to shield the bright light.

Beside him, in the middle of the water channel, there was a wooden cart.

The water flowed past, the wheels of the wooden cart turned, the edges ford vanes, stirring a slightly warm breeze.

"There are indeed so skilled craftsn in High Willow City."

The Ninth Great Temple Priest chuckled and said, "It is said that this ti, those people experienced the visions of an ancient city within the ruins. The city is now organizing all that they have seen and heard. Could it be that this wooden cart was also crafted based on what was seen in the ruins?"

"Nonsense, this is the masterpiece of my proud disciple, the product of diligent research, not an imitation of the ancients."

Mr. Lu took the bamboo fan away from his face, angrily said, "I’ll tolerate you watching over here, but don’t disgust !"

"I’ve also heard about Mr. Lu taking on disciples. The Great Temple Priest is quite curious too but..."

"Nonsense!"

"Why should Mr. Lu take his anger out on ?"

"You surround my courtyard, and you don’t expect to be angry?"

"We are simply following orders."

Rubbing his brow, the Ninth Great Temple Priest said, "Besides, the earlier ssage was the sa for everyone, it wasn’t my idea! And now, it is the wish of the Great Temple Priest, for the sake of protecting you, Elder..."

"I’m fine here in High Willow City, perfectly safe, no need for protection."

Mr. Lu said calmly, "Should I be assassinated, let it be blad on the Tribulation Ash. First hold responsible the City Guard Mansion of High Willow City, second the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau, but don’t involve others!"

"Why must Mr. Lu be so stubborn?"

In a low voice, the Ninth Great Temple Priest said, "The Great Temple Priest t with a Holy Land Envoy last night, and they have already made concessions, changing from execution to imprisonnt!"

Mr. Lu threw the bamboo fan on the ground and said, "On what grounds? What cri is there? Haven’t they revised so-called laws? By which law or regulation?"

The Ninth Great Temple Priest sighed and said, "Actually, this matter was originally ant to be imprisonnt! As for silencing soone, it is because you, Elder, have offended soone..."

At this point, he said helplessly, "Of course, even though everyone knows that this envoy is suspected of seeking personal revenge in public affairs, even if it was brought up to the Holy Land and he claims it was for the greater good to silence soone, the senior officials of the Holy Land would at most consider his actions overly severe and not necessarily find anything wrong with his thods!"

"There’s no problem?"

Mr. Lu scoffed, "A person without guilt, with rits to his na, changing execution to imprisonnt, and there’s no problem with that?"

The Ninth Great Temple Priest fell silent for a mont, then added, "Has Mr. Lu forgotten how he was forced to resign from his position as a temple priest at the Wutong Temple?"

Mr. Lu fell silent.

The Ninth Great Temple Priest stood up, hands behind his back, and spoke softly, "Qifeng Prefecture and Residual Prison Mansion, both locations of Tribulation Ash, have a combined total of six Supre Elders."

"The leading one, who stepped down from the position of Tribulation Burning Sect Leader, has already been killed by the Li Shen Sect."

"There are five left now, Mr. Lu, don’t forget, the two who follow, were cultivated by your own hands."

Turning, he looked at the old man on the wicker chair who appeared dejected, and said slowly, "In those days, Elder, you also believed that they were the backbone of the Human Clan, never suspecting that they could reveal the clan’s secrets. Yet, what happened during the great unrest in Feng City, with such heavy losses? How many people died from the famine that year?"

Mr. Lu closed his eyes slightly, and after a long mont, he said gruffly, "You know them too, don’t you also think that I misjudged?"

"Of course not."

In a low voice, the Ninth Great Temple Priest said, "I know that they were resolutely determined by nature, people who were willing to die for the Human Clan."

"Especially the elder with the surna Zhuo, before he beca part of Tribulation Ash, he held the position of Inspection Envoy in Qifeng Prefecture City, he once escorted us incense burners out of the city to receive the town object."

"It was far away, the wind and rain ca suddenly, delaying the journey, and after nightfall, evil creatures attacked, with heavy casualties, only he alone stood guard!"

"To save people, he pushed a boy away, his own intestines were pulled out a section."

"At that ti, he held a knife in one hand, his belly in the other, stuffing his intestines back in, urging us to leave first, telling us not to wait for him."

Laughing bitterly at himself, the Ninth Great Temple Priest said, "Who could imagine, such a person, would end up becoming one of Tribulation Ash? So, how can we say, for their youth, that you misjudged, Elder?"

Mr. Lu remained silent, putting down the bamboo fan in his hand.

"I also know that you, Elder, have always been helping to suppress the hidden dangers from their ancient practices, hence there were no oversights."

The Ninth Great Temple Priest sighed, "But no matter what, regardless of the reasons, in the end, they all beca senior figures in Tribulation Ash, completely corrupted, past the point of no return."

"Actually, I’m not well-acquainted with Han Zheng either, but I’ve heard about his grievances with Li Shen Sect."

"As for Lv Tang, when I was just a temple incense burner, not yet promoted to temple priest, he, as Commander of the Guard, was acquainted with ."

"The two of them were upright and righteous individuals, striving for justice, willing to lose their heads but never bowing down."

"It’s not surprising that such people were valued by Mr. Lu."

"But if we talk about integrity, righteousness, and the resolve to risk life without hesitation, weren’t those two Supre Elders of Tribulation Ash, in their youth, just as formidable as them?"

"So, what was their end result?"

Looking at Mr. Lu, he said, "The Qi Refining Realm is not yet perfected, but setting aside fears of the hidden dangers of ancient practices! Speaking of the future, can you, Elder, guarantee that they won’t beco part of Tribulation Ash?"

As his voice dropped, he walked up to Mr. Lu and placed his hand on the wooden cart.

The water flowed by, but the wooden cart remained still, the breeze also ceased.

"Today these two n won’t reveal secrets, but what about tomorrow? Even Mr. Lu can’t promise that, can he?"
