Where Could You Find Such a Good Ancestor?
Absolutely brilliant!
Lu Changzhi had only one comment on the scene before him.
It was completed in one go, and it looked exactly like the real thing.
If he hadn't known in his heart that Ancestor Jiang was an accomplice, and hadn't given him the Life Spirit Spring Primal Liquid, he probably would have been fooled by such acting skills.
You should know that the reason you can deceive people with your acting skills is because you have a natural talent for disguise.
Unlike Ancestor Jiang, he didn't receive any special blessings; he relied entirely on his own abilities.
Lu Changzhi deeply felt that there is no end to learning.
In the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
Jiang Yuanyin's sudden coughing caught countless disciples off guard.
The momentum was building up, and then this happened out of nowhere.
Of course, these are not the most important things.
What's even more unsettling is the glimpse of blood clots.
Those who cough to this extent are often seriously ill or are elderly people in their twilight years.
But this is their Saint King Realm ancestor! Such a powerful figure, how could they possibly...
"Could it be that the ancestor...?"
Poisoning, critical condition, demonic possession...
Many disciples' expressions changed, and various guesses flashed through their minds.
The elders knew more, and their hearts immediately skipped a beat.
This is exactly what Duan Yi had said earlier.
The ancestor's lifespan is nearing its end.
The violent coughing just now was likely due to the excessive force used during his entrance, which resulted in injury.
Unconsciously, many elders seemed to be able to see with their own eyes that Jiang Yuanyin's lifespan had suddenly dropped by a bit.
"Ancestor!"
Immediately, an elder cried out in grief, his expression one of anguish.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuanyin waved his hand and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."
"As long as I live, I will protect this holy land."
His voice was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable conviction.
At this moment, all the elders present were deeply moved.
How could they not see that the old ancestor's cough just now clearly indicated that his physical condition was extremely poor?
In other words, the ancestor is currently just putting on a brave face.
Facing a powerful enemy, with little lifespan remaining and failing health, they still endured the pain and stood in front of the Holy Land, sheltering it from the wind and rain. Such a righteous act—could they, in their own shoes, have such a noble and awe-inspiring spirit?
In particular, the example of the Western Region Buddhist Order sect's desertion at the last minute serves as a case study.
Such an action is all the more precious now.
Where can you find such a wonderful ancestor?!
"Hehe."
Faced with this, the old man who arrived by flying boat chuckled lightly.
"Since you won't move aside, then consider today your last day."
As the words fell, he slowly raised his hand.
In an instant, the world was filled with the surging winds and clouds.
Jiang Yuanyin, who was already inferior in comparison, now appeared even weaker in terms of presence.
Just then, a flash of light appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes, and another option popped out.
"Huang Pi intends to forcibly Origin of Fire. What are your plans in response?"
"I. Borrowing the tiger's might to resolve the trouble. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade martial skill - " Desolate Cloud Earth-Splitting Hand " *1.]"
"Second, observe the situation calmly and watch how things develop. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade cultivation technique - 'Purple Extreme Pupils' *1.]"
"Third, strike at the root of the problem; let others rob you while you reap the benefits. [Reward: Core of the Origin of Fire *1]"
The sudden choice surprised Lu Changzhi somewhat.
However, the current situation still appears to be quite urgent.
After all, the situation clearly suggests that a decision is about to be made.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi's eyes quickly scanned the three options.
The options provided by the system were clearly not given randomly.
As for the first option, Lu Changzhi thought about it for a moment and it seemed quite easy.
Not to mention that on their side right now, there are three Saint Kings from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Chen Yi.
Even if they don't get involved, using Lu Yuan's name, Huang Pi alone might be enough to make them retreat.
However, after thinking it over, Lu Changzhi still rejected it.
The fact that Ancestor Jiang is putting so much effort into this performance clearly indicates that he has ulterior motives.
Perhaps I can use this opportunity to drop out of school at the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
If I get involved, things might go wrong, and the ancestor might have to find other methods.
As for the second option, it's worth considering. After all, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is currently in the same situation, hiding in the shadows and observing how things develop, so we'll leave it for now.
"But the third one..."
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly.
"That seems feasible, but with only this small amount of Origin of Fire power from the Extreme Arms Holy Land..."
To be honest, it's still a bit too weak.
Perhaps it was because of the Five Elements Sacred Physique, but as soon as he arrived in this vicinity, he sensed the approximate intensity of the Origin of Fire.
The Origin of Fire was not very concentrated, and it had not yet condensed into Core of the Origin of Fire.
Back then, in that pool beneath the Flower Spirit Sect, he found the Core of the Source of Water.
In other words, even after refining the Origin of Fire in the Extreme Arms Holy Land, he still needs to continue searching for and refining other Origin of Fire.
However, when they saw the rewards that followed...
Lu Changzhi immediately made a decision in his heart.
That's it.
To cut off the fuel supply at the source.
Once the robbery in Huang Pi is successful, I'll do the same to myself.
As for the present, let's just wait and see.
Meanwhile, Lu Changzhi was considering specific actions.
On the field, as Huang Pi's power converged, the surrounding void, spiritual energy, and the power of heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic.
Even with the sacred ground's array providing some protection, the sight still instilled a deep-seated fear in everyone present.
The other party's actions seemed to possess the power to destroy the world!
"What terrifying power! Ancestor, you must be able to defeat them!" A disciple looked at the two in mid-air and said with concern.
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone nearby shouted angrily:
"You're so damn selfish! The ancestor is already in this state, and you're still thinking of relying on him? Don't you have any conscience?!"
"But what do we do if the patriarch doesn't take action?" the boy retorted.
Don't ask me, what do I know?!
At this moment, Jiang Yuanyin's heroic voice resounded throughout the void:
"Good timing!"
"Let this old man have a go at you!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuanyin himself around him, and his power began to gather.
Below, Duan Yi and the Elder Fang were in a flurry of activity.
The current situation is far from optimistic.
They weren't blind; they could clearly see the difference in their auras between the two sides.
They're not even on the same level.
Not to mention, the ancestor was barely clinging to life, with little time left to live.
To put it bluntly, even if you risk your life, you might not be able to do anything to the other party.
In this matter, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty provided a good example for them. Even Zhou Mu's grandfather was furious, but it is said that the Devil Creature did nothing as a result.
At most, they can only obstruct the other party for a moment, but if the other party doesn't leave, the consequences won't change much.
Right now, it's not a matter of which is better or worse, but rather choosing the lesser of two evils.
On this point, there is actually very little room for debate.
After a quick exchange of opinions, before the two sides could even clash, Duan Yi suddenly shouted:
"Etc!"
