Chapter 369 - 162: Who is he? The First Divine Power of the Ancient Domain, Reversing Divine Treasure, the generation-dominating Lu Changsheng!

Therefore, unless it’s absolutely necessary, Taoist children generally refrain from taking action.

The three Taoist children glanced around at the martial artists gathered in Wolf Cry Gorge, then said in a somber tone, "The Immortal Eagle of the Purple Dragon Daoist Monarch has died. Once the Daoist Monarch learns of this, his wrath will be thunderous. All of you are in Wolf Cry Gorge, so none of you can escape suspicion over the Immortal Eagle’s death."

"However, now you have a chance to redeem yourselves. As long as you capture or kill this person, the blame for the Immortal Eagle’s death will fall solely on him, and have nothing to do with you."

"So, how you choose is up to you, but you should know what’s best for yourselves."

After finishing, the Taoist children stood smugly in place.

They were even prepared to watch a bloody brawl among the martial artists.

But once the three Taoist children finished speaking and had "shown" the martial artists a way out—

The result?

No response!

Not one of the martial artists reacted.

Silence!

The entire Wolf Cry Gorge was eerily quiet.

Only the sound of the fierce wind howling remained.

The expressions on the faces of the three Taoist children gradually froze.

They even noticed the ridicule in the eyes of these martial artists.

A mere group of Divine Astral Realm martial artists, destined never to ascend to the Divine Treasure, dared to mock them, who were future Qi Refining Immortal Masters towering above all?

Had these people all lost their minds?

"If you refuse to act, and the Daoist Monarch’s thunderous rage descends, you’ll all be waiting to die!"

The Taoist child barked sharply.

At that moment, a Divine Astral Realm martial artist lightly shook his head and slowly said, "I’m afraid you’ve miscalculated. Asking us to act? That’s absolutely impossible!"

"Not just us—any Divine Astral Realm martial artist from the Ancient Domain wouldn’t act under such circumstances either."

The Taoist child frowned: "What do you mean?"

The Taoist child had sensed something amiss.

"Do you even know who he is?"

The Taoist child shook his head.

They normally paid no heed to martial artists—why would they bother to recognize a mere Divine Astral Realm martial artist?

The martial artist took a deep breath.

His gaze turned to Lu Changsheng, carrying a trace of reverence, and he uttered each word with weight: "He is Lu Changsheng!"

The name "Lu Changsheng" brought confusion to the faces of the three Taoist children.

"Who is Lu Changsheng?"

The Taoist children genuinely had never heard of "Lu Changsheng."

"You don’t know him?"

The martial artist’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Lu Changsheng is the True Inheritance seed of the Heavenly Sect in the North Region! The trailblazer of martial arts, the Ancient Domain’s First Divine Gang, the one who reversed the Divine Treasure and suppressed an entire generation—Lu Changsheng!"

Lu Changsheng’s list of "titles" or "epithets" seemed a bit lengthy.

The three Taoist children were momentarily stunned.

Such titles and epithets looked extraordinary indeed.

But when had such a powerful Divine Astral Realm martial artist appeared in the Ancient Domain?

"Hold on, a mere Divine Gang, with titles piled on this extravagantly—this is clearly overblown bragging."

"The Heavenly Sect of the North Region? Oh, we’re aware—it’s just the Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain. Although it’s one of the great martial arts sects, we’ve never heard of it producing some earth-shattering Divine Astral Realm disciple."

"And this so-called Ancient Domain’s First Divine Gang, this reversing of the Divine Treasure—such exaggerated claims! There’s never been any instance of a Divine Astral Realm martial artist successfully reversing the Divine Treasure."

"If this Lu Changsheng were truly so formidable, wouldn’t his name have already reverberated across the Ancient Domain? Why haven’t we heard of him?"

"Surely you don’t think our Immortal Spirit Sect is so poorly informed, that we Taoist children are ignorant country bumpkins?"

The three Taoist children sneered.

They seemed to have already deduced the "intent" behind the martial artists’ words.

Obviously, they were reluctant to act.

To avoid possible peril.

After all, Lu Changsheng may have some status and exceptional strength.

If they were to fight him, casualties would be inevitable.

They didn’t want to take such a risk.

"Hmph, since you refuse to act, we’ll have to do it ourselves."

"A mere Divine Gang—a single Spirit Stone and a Sword Talisman is more than enough!"

The Taoist children had already made their decision internally.

The death of the Immortal Eagle must be accounted for before the Purple Dragon Daoist Monarch.

If no "culprit" was found, they themselves would bear the punishment.

Although acting personally would come at some cost—

The savings they had accumulated over several years might be depleted.

Nonetheless, they had no choice but to act now!

"Crack."

A Taoist child crushed a Spirit Stone.

At the same time, the Taoist child pulled out a Sword Talisman and infused it with Divine Thought.

"Buzz."

The sword techniques within the talisman vibrated violently, absorbing all the spiritual power from the Spirit Stone, before being activated by the Taoist child’s divine sense.

"Whizz."

The Sword Talisman transformed into a sharp and lethal Flying Sword that instantly shot toward Lu Changsheng.
