Hiding His Deeds and His Name
That being said, Yu was cautious by nature. He peeked around to make sure no one was around, then suddenly leaped away and changed locations.
Not far away, the little fox stared dumbfounded at the creature that had swallowed the rest of the night's Martial Fortune in one gulp.
Is this guy some kind of High Antiquity Taotie reincarnation?
Inside and outside the town, along the riverbank, there was already an uproar.
The first battle for destiny, which all the disciples had been eagerly anticipating, ended abruptly before it even began, and they didn't even know what had happened.
The group gathered around Xie Linchuan, Ao Xiyu spoke first, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt:
"What exactly happened? How could Martial Fortune just disappear all of a sudden?"
Everyone frowned, but Xie Linchuan looked around and eliminated everyone present one by one.
Disregarding those disciples who were not within his purview, Qin Shaoyou and Jiang Yungu were also not present.
In addition, there's Brother Yu.
Xie Linchuan looked towards the rolling green hills in the distance.
The direction in which Martial Fortune landed just now seemed to be deep in the mountains?
Brother Yu... could it really be you?
While the young disciples were still waiting for their elders to give an explanation, the various guards were already arguing fiercely.
After the initial fury, each family, confined to their homes, could only rely on the power of their Primordial Spirit to sweep across the heavens and earth.
Their Primordial Spirit power was not enough to cover the entire cave, but it could detect who was not "in the field".
Where is Yu Tunzhou? Why is there no sign of this boy?
"That guy surnamed Mo, the one who just swallowed all the Martial Fortune, was it Yu Tunzhou?!"
Soon, someone confirmed with Old Mo. After Old Mo did not deny it, everyone's hearts sank, and they subconsciously thought of the tragic Daoist struggle in history where only one person survived.
That was the most serious "loss of control" in history.
Later, all the factions proved that the reason why the Dao dispute went out of control was because the one suppressed under the cave heaven was secretly manipulating people's hearts!
It was as if, on a whim, the Martial Fortune were used as bait to lure the sons of various families into becoming deeply entangled and unable to extricate themselves.
By the time the last person discovered it, it was too late to turn back. He could only become the puppet of this person, acting according to his will. In the end, he broke through the cave and became the only Immortal Seed of that generation.
Even after leaving the cave, this person continued to act according to the Martial Ancestor's prior arrangements!
By the time the various sects noticed the anomaly, this person had already left the sect under the pretext of traveling the martial world for training.
When the various families sent people to find him, he was already a corpse lying dead in an unnamed mountain forest, his death gruesome!
This made all the sects and clans realize that they could not be too careful when dealing with this person.
Since then, each sect has placed increasing emphasis on guiding the Dao heart in the training of its disciples who enter the grotto heaven.
This is why Daoist Qingzhi of the Nanhua School was so furious after Cao Jianjia's defeat; Long Hua Daoist of Floating Hill Mountain was extremely disappointed with Zhang Buyu's previous performance, never expecting that Zhang Buyu, who had followed his senior brother for many years, still couldn't distinguish the fundamental principles of the Great Dao.
Do you really think you're so talented that you're invincible?
With the lessons of the past still fresh in everyone's minds, how could they not wonder if Yu Tunzhou had also received that person's "support"?
Could it be that he's just impulsively deciding to help a country bumpkin out of nothing, only to then slaughter and massacre the younger generation?!
Is the tragedy of that year about to repeat itself?
"Expel them!" someone said solemnly, enunciating each word clearly, "They must be expelled! Otherwise, this struggle will once again spiral out of control!"
"Hasn't Yu Tunzhou always wanted to leave this grotto-heaven alive? Fine, we'll grant his wish! Let him leave this grotto-heaven peacefully!"
"The battle for destiny has begun, and those two sages should step down. As long as two-thirds of the sects agree, this matter will be settled!"
"Vote, everyone."
It seemed that everyone was about to finalize the matter with just a few words.
However, the fourteen families belonging to the Northern Dark Continent in the town suddenly fell silent.
With the addition of just a few other establishments, including [Evergreen Mountain], the once bustling scene suddenly seemed to have a large empty space.
Luo Shiwu of Dongting was the first to notice something amiss, and angrily shouted, "Are you all crazy? What did that bandit Lu say to you? Are you really going to risk the Daoist struggle spiraling out of control?!"
The garrison commander in the South Sea was a powerful member of the turtle clan, usually mild-mannered. He spoke slowly, "Too hasty. How can we draw conclusions so easily? We must give the young man a chance."
"Old Wang bastard, you have no right to speak here!"
"Hey, you little rascal, when your grandfather came to this grotto-heaven back then, I gave him a few pointers, and he even Xie Xie me for it."
Zhang Qingtong of [Evergreen Mountain] remained calm, but suddenly remembered the time Lu Huaiqing came to find him.
He couldn't yet determine whether Yu Tunzhou had truly been chosen by that person.
With Lu Huaiqing here, even if something were to happen, he wouldn't let the young man sink into depravity.
The crowd argued incessantly, but the Northern Dark Sea faction remained silent, ignoring whatever they said.
Some of them gazed at the figure atop the mountain, wanting to ask, "Does Lu Huaiqing truly possess the ability to foresee the future, and have already foreseen this scene?"
Ninety years have passed, and they have never liked this guy, yet they have to respect his final battle.
It was precisely because of Lu Huaiqing that the defenses of the Northern Dark Sea Continent were able to remain intact.
Throughout the continent, from prominent Aristocratic Clan to humble peddlers, everyone is obligated to serve the people.
On the fishing boat, Old Mo picked at his ear. "Sigh, the voices of ordinary people are a bit noisy."
As expected, ordinary people can't understand geniuses; only Old Mo can truly appreciate Tunzhou!
Old Mo suddenly spoke up:
"That person didn't make a fuss about Yu Tunzhou. If there's any dispute about this, you can ask those two on the mountain."
Upon hearing Old Mo's words, most people didn't believe him, which was true because Old Mo didn't have much credibility with them.
But upon hearing about the two, everyone frowned.
Could it be that Yu Tunzhou was truly not chosen by that person?
But soon, someone sighed, realizing that whether it was true or false, it was useless, because the guy surnamed Lu had already persuaded fourteen factions of the Northern Dark Sea Faction.
Adding in the [Evergreen Mountain] and a few others, that's almost halfway there, but it's still not enough to make up two-thirds.
Their attempt to drive away the Yu Tunzhou is nothing but wishful thinking.
Now we can only hope that Lu Huaiqing still has some conscience and won't sit idly by and watch this struggle spiral completely out of control...
Once the thought was made up, everyone's focus suddenly shifted.
If Old Mo's words are true, then Yu Tunzhou did not receive support, but --
How did he manage to swallow all the Martial Fortune in one gulp?!
This is blatant cheating!
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Hey Chen, what kind of Qi Ingestion Method did you use to feed the Yu Tunzhou?!"
Inside the Chen Household mansion, the elderly man surnamed Chen stood with a somber face, feeling inexplicably wronged. They had been arguing peacefully, so why had the blame suddenly shifted to him?
He immediately searched for the source of the sound, but found that he couldn't find it at all!
Just as someone realized that there was no way to move the Yu Tunzhou tonight, but the anger in their chest could not be vented, they secretly stirred up new conflicts.
"Not bad! This can't possibly be the [Spark Instruction]! Even if he mastered it Higher Vehicle the highest level, and even with extraordinary talent, managed to raise it by one level, let's say ten! How could it possess such power to instantly devour the Martial Fortune of Tuntian?!"
"Old man Chen Household, did your Northern Chen dynasty set up a trap for Yu Tunzhou?"
"Is that even a question? It must be the Northern Chen's doing!"
Soon, many people in the crowd began to echo this sentiment, glancing meaningfully at Northern Chen.
After enduring for a moment, the old man of the Chen Household realized he couldn't hold back any longer. A nameless anger rose within him, and he shouted sharply:
"Don't try to frame Laozi!"
"Even the most advanced Qi Ingestion Method of Northern Chen don't possess such power! Are you bunch of idiots brainless?!"
Not far away, someone said coldly, "Who knows what you dug up from which [Human Emperor's Tomb]? Maybe you used the Yu Tunzhou for experiments."
"That's right! Otherwise, how do you explain how that kid did it?" someone immediately chimed in, revealing their true intentions, "Unless your Northern Chen Dynasty makes the name of the ruins public for all to examine!"
"Laozi inspect your mother!" the old man from the Chen Household cursed.
The guard at [Moon-Worshipping Mountain] suddenly spoke up, "I just asked Hongyi, and she said she happened to see Chen Xuanye from the Chen Household going to find Yu Tunzhou this afternoon."
The old man from the Chen Household glared angrily. "Then how did your younger generation see it?"
"Never mind that, first clarify the suspicions against you Northern Chen!"
After finishing his mission, Old Mo, keeping his achievements hidden, watched as one hunt ended and another began, sighing with regret and feeling very sorry for Old Master Chen.
Tell me, what kind of mess is this?!
