Lin Chu lay on his back in the crater he had created, his limbs twitching uncontrollably.
Zhang Yu's sword had pierced through his heart and vaporized his internal organs. There was no chance for him to survive. He was only holding on with the tenacious vitality provided by the divine robe.
He heard the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs and knew that Zhang Yu was coming down. He wanted to get up and fight again, but this thought struggled in his heart for a while. In the end, he gave in to the feeling of weakness.
He stared blankly at the sky. In a trance, he felt that his body had become very small, as if he was still in swaddling clothes. He felt that he was enduring the violent jolts. Outside, there was noise, screams, fighting, and the clashing of spears. In the end, there was the sound of the carriage heavily overturning. However, he was well protected by a sturdy body, and did not suffer the slightest injury.
But this body soon stopped moving and gradually lost its temperature. He was held up by two soft arms amidst waves of suppressed sobs. Then, there was the sound of running and panting. There were tears on his face.
It seemed like a long time, but also like a short while had passed. The light dimmed, and he was already hidden in a bush. A gentle hand gently helped him tuck in his swaddling clothes, and whispered something in his ear. She gently wiped away the tears on his face, and then warmly left. The last thing he heard was the sound of a gun in the distance.
He suddenly laughed. As he laughed, golden blood was spat out.
"So I wasn't abandoned …"
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and as he exhaled his last breath, his entire body seemed to have been sucked dry. He slowly shriveled up, and wisps of smoke rose from his body. In the end, he turned into a pile of human-shaped black powder.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already walked down the stairs. He came to Lin Chu's side and watched as her body gradually disappeared.
He knew that some divine robes could be taken off at will. Even after death, there would be no strange phenomenon. In the end, the divine robes would leave the owner with blood and Qi and gather again.
But some divine robes, once taken off, would follow the owner's death. The body would also collapse. Obviously, Lin Chu's divine robe belonged to the latter.
The inheritance of power was not without a price.
And in the human-shaped black powder, there were two sparkling gemstones. One was light red and the other was bright gold. They were especially dazzling.
The two gemstones swayed and flew to his eyes. He glanced at them. The light red gemstone should have been Lin Chu's divine robe. The other gemstone was very likely the divine robe of the Army of God's deputy commandant, Ying Zhongguang. This time, he was mainly looking for this item. Therefore, he had to bring it back and protect it. He could not let it wander outside.
He reached out to grab the two gems and put them into his pocket.
At this moment, he felt something............................
......
...........................
..............
Could it be that one of the Profound Palace cultivators had died in his hands?
Immediately, he felt that something was wrong. This piece of profound jade looked slightly different from the one he had.
The Profound Jade in his hand had a glossy surface, and there were clouds surging within it. On the other hand, this Profound Jade seemed much more ordinary on the surface, and it seemed like a pure and beautiful piece of jade. Moreover, when he tried to sense it, he found that it was completely empty, and there seemed to be nothing inside.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his side pocket. His heart skipped a beat, and he extended his hand to take out the Mysterious Jade he was carrying.
At this moment, he realized that after the two pieces of profound jade saw each other, they both released a faint light. There seemed to be a strong attraction between them.
He pondered for a moment, and then he tried to loosen his grip. In an instant, the two profound jades seemed to be drawn by something, and they clanged together. At the instant they collided, a bright light was released, and it illuminated the surroundings in a vast expanse of white.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had a feeling that he seemed to be enveloped by the seal's light. When the light slowly dissipated, he looked again and discovered that the two mysterious jades had already merged together to form a complete jade pillar. It was about the size of a palm, and there were no gaps in it at all. There seemed to be lightning and clouds coiling and flashing within it.
Just when he was about to observe it carefully, he moved his hand. Fine cracks suddenly appeared on the left side of the jade pillar. Then, small pieces of it peeled off. In an instant, it shattered into a pile of jade shards.
Only the half of the profound jade that belonged to him was still there.
He couldn't help but reveal a pondering expression when he saw this.
The Profound Jade of the Profound Palace was divided into two types: Primary Jade and Secondary Jade.
The profound jade he was holding was a piece of secondary jade. Then, the only thing that could be combined with this jade was a piece of primary jade.
In fact, in terms of jade quality, there wasn't much difference between the two. They both came from the same source. The real difference was the content contained within.
In the secondary jade, there was nothing except for a seal left behind by a predecessor.
Primary jade was different. It was held by the head of the Xuanfu. Under normal circumstances, it contained all of the Xuanfu's techniques and seals.
Simply put, primary jade was used to pass on techniques, while secondary jade was used for inheritance.
If the primary jade passed on all of its secret seals and techniques to the secondary jade, then the "secondary jade" would become the "primary jade".
In a Xuanfu, there could be many secondary jades, but only one primary jade was allowed to exist. Therefore, after every inheritance, the primary jade would shatter on its own. This was a kind of inheritance ceremony.
What happened just now seemed to be an inheritance.
He focused his gaze on it for a moment. Whether it was true or not, he would know at a glance.
Immediately, he calmed his mind and tried to probe inside with his perception.
As his mind entered, in an instant, seals appeared in his mind. He identified them and found that not only were there all the seals he had seen in the six-seal book, but there were also some that he had never seen before.
He thought to himself, "These must be the seals that Xuanfu lost."
If nothing unexpected happened, these were undoubtedly left behind by the previous head of the Xuanfu, Yan Zhang. However, he had clearly appointed Qi Hua as the head of the Xuanfu, so why did he do this?
However, after thinking about it, this was also reasonable.
This was because although the predecessors of the East Court were prepared to launch a surprise attack on Azizama in an attempt to bury the Blood Sun Ancient Kingdom, they most likely didn't expect that they would never return. Before leaving, they had appointed Qi Hua as the head of the Xuanfu as a last-minute arrangement, just in case.
Later on, when the situation changed, Yan Zhang probably knew that he couldn't return, so he tried to send this piece of jade out. However, it seemed that it had been lost outside due to an accident.
He thought about how Ying Chongguang's mark had disappeared from the Divine City, so he guessed that this item was very likely taken out by someone else. This also explained why Lin Chu had this item on her body. She must have obtained it when she obtained the divine robe.
It was really a pity. If this piece of jade had been successfully sent to Xuanfu, then the situation in the Protectorate would have been completely different.
Thinking of this, his heart trembled slightly. If this was the case, then could there be a mystery that led to the third chapter? He looked carefully for a while and found that there was still a faint consciousness within.
Just as he was about to continue his investigation, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps from afar.
He looked up and saw that the Army of God soldiers who had entered the Divine City with Lin Chu were approaching. Among them, a woman wearing a full face armor and holding two axes stood out and asked, "Where did the Commandant go?"
Under Lin Chu's spiritual oppression, their bodies, minds, and consciousnesses had been forcibly suppressed. Although Lin Chu was dead, there was no way to reverse this situation for the time being.
Commandant?
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. This should be the name for Lin Chu. It seemed that Lin Chu also had her own thoughts. He didn't waste time talking nonsense with the Army of God. A light flashed in his eyes, and a strange light suddenly flashed across the field.
After seeing this light, the Army of God was first stunned. Then, a fierce look appeared on their faces. They glared fiercely at the people around them, and with a roar, they began to kill each other.
The outcome of the battle was quickly decided. Captain Mo's strength was obviously higher. It only took a while for everyone to fall to the ground. However, after this massacre, she seemed to have woken up.
She looked at Zhang Yu, who was not far away, and suddenly threw the two axes to the side. She knelt down and said, "Wait a minute, don't kill me."
Zhang Yu stood there and didn't speak. His face couldn't be seen clearly under the hood.
Captain Mo gritted her teeth and reached out to press between her eyebrows. Then, she took out a red gem. Suddenly, her whole body collapsed, and her body became visibly thinner. She raised her trembling hands and handed over the gem, saying, "I am willing to give up my divine robe."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "You are very smart."
Captain Mo raised her head and said carefully and cautiously, "Are you from Xuanfu? Although I am the captain of the Army of God, I have never killed people indiscriminately. Instead, I have protected many civilians. I don't want to die here, but I know that the strong have the right to decide the life of the weak. Therefore, my life will be decided by you. I only beg you to let me go. "
With his extraordinary senses, Zhang Yu could tell that she was telling the truth. He thought for a moment and said, "Lin Chu asked you to collect the divine robes here?"
Captain Mo replied carefully, "Yes."
Zhang Yu said, "I have a task for you. Go and collect all the divine robes here." The divine robes here belonged to Tianxia, not the Army of God. They shouldn't be left here. If he could take them away, he would.
Captain Mo relaxed. Solemnly, she said, "I understand."
Zhang Yu said, "You can put on your own divine robe. That way, it will be faster. I don't know how long I will stay here."
Captain Mo said respectfully, "Yes."
After Zhang Yu gave his instructions, he didn't care about her anymore. He took a step to the side, and his figure became ethereal. The next moment, he was on the roof of the temple. He took out the Xuan jade again, ready to take a good look at what was inside.
