Chapter 1003 Governor of Xuzhou – Lu Hongyi
The north wind was bitterly cold, cutting like a knife.
The extremely low temperature had covered everything in the mountain forest with a layer of frost.
However, there was one area where the temperature was frighteningly high.
Surrounding plants and rocks had all turned to ashes, streams had dried up, and creek beds were cracked.
Lin Feng was at the center of this area, with the fire attribute celestial crystal releasing astonishing heat, as if streams of celestial fire were bursting forth, merging with his body and burning his soul.
“Mmm!”
The seven-colored little person actually hummed.
It was a sound of pleasure!
Earlier, when absorbing the wind attribute essence, its body color was primarily green, but now it was predominantly red!
The fiery red light was brilliant and scorching, covering everything, seemingly about to melt the mountains!
“Ah!!!”
Lin Feng also suddenly let out a long howl!
As he absorbed the fire attribute essence, he felt his body undergoing significant transformation. His divine soul was like swimming in a sea of fire, feeling no burning pain but rather exhilaration!
At the same time,
He looked inward at his body, scanning his meridians, and discovered that the surging energy now contained both wind and fire essence powers!
Wind promotes fire, fire generates wind!
The two essences working together could brew even more terrifying power!
“Crack!”
As time passed minute by minute,
The fire attribute celestial crystal floating in mid-air finally depleted its energy, cracking apart. The seven-colored little person gave a satisfied burp and flew back into Lin Feng’s sea of consciousness, falling into a deep sleep!
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.
“I seem to have become stronger again… but the energy flowing within me is still just spiritual power, not comparable to celestial power!”
Lin Feng paused, then murmured:
“However, my spiritual power now contains two types of natural essence powers… could this compensate for the gap between spiritual power and celestial power?”
Lin Feng couldn’t find an answer!
Such things needed to be proven in reality; otherwise, all speculation was meaningless!
“It’s time to go back!”
Lin Feng stabilized his chaotic breath and prepared to return to Cloud River City!
Meanwhile.
Still at that rustic cabin.
After Lin Feng left, an elderly man with graying hair had arrived!
True Person Ming De sat opposite this elderly man, discussing the world situation and the governance of Yangzhou.
“Young friend Lin has agreed to guard Yangzhou for ten days. After ten days, who should take office?”
True Person Ming De looked at his old friend and asked.
“Should we consider someone from the Wu Clan?”
His old friend pondered for a moment before speaking.
This person was none other than the Governor of Xuzhou, one of the Nine Provinces Governors—Lu Hongyi!
“The Wu Clan?”
True Person Ming De frowned, then sighed lightly:
“The Wu Clan has many capable people, but unfortunately they have never considered themselves part of the human race! Having someone from the Wu Clan as governor is inappropriate on one hand, and on the other hand, they probably wouldn’t be willing!”
“I think it’s very appropriate! The world’s situation is deteriorating, and relying on us old folks isn’t enough anymore. If someone from the Wu Clan becomes governor, when the celestial path opens and the Divine Race attacks, the Wu Clan certainly won’t stand idly by!”
“As for whether they’re willing, I’ll handle that! You know I happen to have an old friend who is an elder of the Wu Clan!”
Lu Hongyi said slowly.
“We still can’t be so hasty! Involving the Wu Clan is no small matter! Let’s hold a governors’ meeting and gather everyone’s opinions!”
True Person Ming De shook his head.
Lu Hongyi looked calmly at True Person Ming De and finally said:
“Let’s do as you say, but you should know that besides the Wu Clan, there aren’t many good candidates left!”
True Person Ming De sighed lightly.
He certainly knew about the current chaotic situation!
But it was better to be cautious in all matters.
With this thought, True Person Ming De took out an ancient token, which was the Governor’s Token that could be used to contact other governors!
Now that the Yangzhou Governor position was vacant,
He only needed to summon the other six governors.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a golden talisman arrived. True Person Ming De took the talisman, checked the information inside, and his expression changed drastically.
“Not good!”
“What’s wrong?”
Lu Hongyi asked.
“People from the Wu Clan have gone to Cloud Layer to cause trouble for the Heaven and Earth Alliance! Both sides have already clashed, and the Heaven and Earth Alliance has sent a Class Four powerhouse…”
True Person Ming De’s expression was grim.
He knew something about the previous events at the southern battlefield.
Although hundreds of people from the Wu Clan had died, in his view, it was their own fault. Using parasitic insects to devour the Divine Race’s corpses was one thing, but they even wanted to devour the fallen cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
He had also feared the Wu Clan might cause trouble, so he had personally advised them, hoping the Wu Clan would give him face and not make things difficult for the Heaven and Earth Alliance. At that time, the Wu Clan’s leadership had agreed!
Who would have thought that just a short day later, they would show up at the Chen family’s doorstep!
This clearly showed no respect for him as the Governor of Qingzhou!
“I must go to the Chen family to see what’s happening and prevent a major disaster.”
True Person Ming De transformed into a streak of light and flew quickly toward the Chen family!
Seeing this, Lu Hongyi’s eyes flickered slightly, and then he followed.
At this moment,
The recently rebuilt Chen family estate had once again turned into ruins!
People naturally wouldn’t know that two major governors had been alarmed and were rushing over.
At this moment, they were anxiously looking ahead!
There were two people suspended in the air, their eyes locked in a gaze that seemed to generate lightning and thunder, captivating the soul!
“Venerable Divine Pupil, born with three eyes, blessed with great fortune in childhood, was a good seedling for cultivation, and should have progressed smoothly!”
“Unfortunately, you wasted this excellent talent, being cowardly in ancient times, afraid of trouble, colluding with the Great Saint of Chaos, barely surviving until the modern era, and only then reluctantly completing all realms to enter Class Four!”
The Wu Clan youth expressionlessly looked at Divine Pupil Venerable across from him, slowly revealing Divine Pupil Venerable’s background.
Meanwhile, the elder leaning on a skull-headed cane was observing from a distance, with no intention of joining the attack!
This was because the Wu Clan youth was a person of destiny, a child of great fortune. Such a person had no fear of anyone at the same level and had enough confidence to defeat Divine Pupil Venerable.
“You’ve investigated me?”
Divine Pupil Venerable coldly questioned.
“Is investigation necessary? How many Class Four and above powerhouses does your entire human race have, including both ancestral lands and spirit realm combined?”
The Wu Clan youth said disdainfully.
“Isn’t the Wu Clan part of the human race?”
“We of the Wu Clan are certainly not part of the human race! Our Wu Clan descends from the Wu Ancestor, who has entered the celestial realm, so our Wu Clan possesses bloodlines stronger than the Divine Race!”
“Is that so? Let’s not discuss whether the Wu Ancestor’s disappearance was truly because he entered the celestial realm! Even when the Wu Ancestor was alive, he always considered himself human! Unfortunately, the twelve branches of the Wu Clan he left behind have forgotten their roots!”
Divine Pupil Venerable laughed coldly.
