Chapter 569.

Nowadays, in addition to Jiang Ran and his party, Tian Youfang, Wu Di, Ah Zhuo, Xiao Jiu and Ah Zhu, who had recovered her original face, were also here.

Last night, after Ah Zhuo regained his memory, what he had to do was simple.

Find the hidden Tian Youfang and inform the clan leader of his plans.

The biggest problem between them was that the matriarch had killed Ah Zhu.

Since Ah Zhu was still alive, everything would be solved.

Therefore, today, when the Hundred Clans Competition was still going on outside, they came here first to wait.

At this time, when they heard the patriarch speak, a few people looked at each other, and Tian Youfang was the first to take a breath and said softly:

“Patriarch …… grandfather.

“Although the few of us were not brought up by you, we have been learning cultivation from a young age by your side.

“That story you told is too light and strange.

“It is still hard for us to visualize this ……

“However, since Azhu is not dead and you need our native compulsion, then no matter what, we have no reason to refuse.

“It’s just …… that I have a request.

“I still hope that Grandfather Patriarch, can agree.”

“You say.”

The patriarch looked at Ana’s eyes and also had mixed feelings.

“After this matter is over, I want to take Ah Zhu to leave the Flute Clan.

“I don’t know …… if the patriarch’s grandfather is willing to let us go?”

“Leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains?”

The patriarch slowly closed his eyes, but shook his head:

“The misunderstanding can be resolved, why do you still want to leave?

“Ana, you have to know that you are the most suitable candidate for the next patriarch.

“Whether it’s talent, heart, martial arts, or compulsion, you’re the top choice.

“You …… represent the future of the Flute Clan.

“No matter what, I can’t let you leave.”

Tian Youfang raised his eyes to look at the patriarch, and after a moment of silence, he reached out and nodded his hand in front of his chest a few times, followed by opening his mouth and spitting.

A large meat bug had then landed on his hand.

Along with it, his face turned pale, and his body stumbled.

Ah Zhu hurriedly assisted him, letting him sit down against the stone platform.

The old matriarch took out a box from his bosom and put the meatworms in his hand.

When he looked at Tian Youfang again, he saw him grinning:

“Grandfather Patriarch, I hope you didn’t lie to me …… this time, otherwise, it’s also my fault.”

There was a sense of inconsistency in his words before and after this.

In the front, he had asked the patriarch to let him go.

When the patriarch didn’t agree, he didn’t continue to pester him, but directly took out the Intrinsic Compass.

This last sentence seemed to be because the patriarch promised to make him the next patriarch, and Tian Youfang said that he hoped that the patriarch was not lying to him.

But in reality …… this is not the case.

Jiang Ran could see that this was Tian Youfang’s last test.

Wu Di had once said that since his childhood Tian Youfang had far surpassed his peers and stood out amongst the crowd of juniors.

It was recognized by all as the best candidate for the next clan head.

In the past, because of the death of Ah Zhu, caused Tian Youfang to leave the Flute Clan and mix with the five countries and rivers.

However, it was undeniable that Tian Youfang’s prestige amongst the younger generation, as well as his talent, made him the best candidate for clan leader.

Now that the misunderstandings of the past years have been resolved, he intentionally proposed that he wanted to leave the Flute Clan in order to see how the clan leader would respond.

If the patriarch agrees …… very quickly, it means that he has not considered the future of the Flute Clan in his heart.

What the patriarch wants to do now is to take advantage of that Compassion God’s weak time of awakening to make a move on her.

But that was the Compassion God after all.

He had once unified the 100,000 great mountains, beating the hundred clans with his own strength and tying their hands.

Even if he was about to die, he was still able to count the people in the mountains for a thousand years.

Such a person, who is sure that this battle will be won?

Defeat from needless to say, all have to die.

If the victory is complete, there is no need to say anything, although the matriarch is old, but his health is not bad, he has a few years to live.

For the time being, it is not Tian Youfang’s turn to take charge of the Flute Clan.

But what if the victory is disastrous?

In the end, the God of Compulsion was executed as expected, but the clan leader was also seriously injured, what about the future of the Flute clan?

As the clan leader of the Flute Clan, with a single minded consideration for the Flute Clan, the clan leader would inevitably have to take this situation into account.

The matter back then was something he had done intentionally, and the fault did not lie with Tian Youfang.

As long as the matter was made clear, a hundred years after him, it would be logical for Tian Youfang to take charge of the Flute Clan.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to let Tian Youfang leave the Flute Clan.

On the contrary, he had never considered this possibility.

Although it wasn’t enough to fully explain the problem, it showed that there was still a mystery in it.

Even if there was even the slightest hint of something wrong, Tian Youfang would not easily hand over his own Essence Compass.

But now that the matriarch’s answer really made it impossible to find the slightest crack, Tian Youfang didn’t hesitate too much.

The matriarch put away that Intrinsic Compass in a box and gently patted Tian Youfang’s shoulder:

“Don’t worry, everything is with grandpa.”

Then he looked at Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu.

Wu Di’s Intrinsic Compass had already been obtained by him, and now Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu were left.

The two looked at each other without much hesitation, and after forcibly forcing out their own instinctive compels, they handed them over to the patriarch.

The matriarch put these instinctive compels away and told them to rest here.

After the matter was over, he would come back to return the instinctive compels, and everything would be over.

After doing so, the patriarch looked up at Jiang Ran:

“I also ask Your Holiness to assist the old man in his battle.”

“Good.”

Jiang Ran nodded and glanced at Poetry and the others:

“You guys take care of Wu Di and the others here, I’ll just go alone.”

“Demon Lord …… just leave the matter of taking care of them to me.”

Ah Zhu suddenly said:

“The Compassion God is unpredictable, one more person is more certain.

“My martial arts are far inferior to all of you present, but the matter of staying here to take care of them is, for the time being, still manageable.”

Jiang Ran glanced at her and nodded after a slight thought:

“Good, in that case, then I’ll leave it to Miss Ah Zhu.

“Let’s go.”

The matriarch also glanced at Ah Zhu:

“Everything, then, is in your hands.

“We’ll go and return.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the Compassion God Cave, with Jiang Ran and his group following closely behind.

This time, when they went deeper into the Compassion God Cave, it was even more of a breeze.

Only halfway there, the matriarch proposed to split into two.

Jiang Ran and his group went down the path that Ah Zhu had led for them earlier, while the patriarch followed the original path.

He was trying to resurrect the Compassion God, so naturally he had to get those Compassion God sacrifices to cooperate, so that no matter what the circumstances were, they could not enter to disturb them.

While Jiang Ran and his group traveled in that hidden pathway, they could arrive at the target location without the Compassion God Rituals being able to detect it.

Otherwise, the Compassion God Sacrifice had a life-transmitting compulsion in its body, which would most likely cause things to go awry.

Jiang Ran had no opinion on this, and the patriarch took the first step, and after one step, behind him, Jiang Ran and the others had already disappeared.

He gently exhaled a breath, reaching out to touch the several boxes in his arms.

As well as the Blood Dan Flower held in his palm, he then took a big step towards the front.

Within a moment’s effort, two people had appeared in front of him.

These two people were both dressed in white, with white scarves covering their faces.

All over their bodies, only a pair of eyes could be exposed.

“Greetings, Matriarch!”

The two people saluted at the same time.

The matriarch glanced at them and nodded slightly:

“A thousand years of great plans are finally at hand.

“Bring the parasites that have been seized over the years, today, the old man will awaken the Compassion God, so that the light of the Compassion God will reappear in the 100,000 mountains!”

“Patriarch, please follow us.”

The two Compassion God Priests turned to lead the way, with the Patriarch following behind.

As their steps moved forward, the number of Compassion God Sacrifices behind them increased.

A moment later, there were surprisingly as many as twenty to thirty people behind them.

And further ahead, he saw a priest wearing blood-colored clothes and holding a walking stick in his hand appear before his eyes.

This person held the walking stick in one hand, while the other hand handed over a four-square box with a length and width of about one foot.

The box was smooth, but as soon as someone approached it, it emitted a tremor as if it were a warning.

It was only after the matriarch took the box in his hand that the trembling subsided.

Then he heard that red-robed priest say in an almost breathless voice:

“This is fate …… you have to recognize!”

Said, reached out and gently patted on the old patriarch’s shoulder.

The old patriarch’s eyes were flooded with a few unwilling colors, but in the end, he slowly nodded his head:

“Yes, I resign to my fate.”

“It’s good to resign yourself to your fate.”

The red-robed priest said softly:

“Over the years, you’ve made some small moves, but none of them were harmless.

“As long as we are able to awaken the Compassion God, the Flute Clan and us, will be able to completely free ourselves.

“From now on, we will no longer be subject to others, and we will no longer be unable to do anything we want.

“For this …… give everything is not to be spared.

“After all, if we do not pay, pay is our future generations of children and grandchildren.

“You say, is it not this truth?”

“What the High Priest said is good.”

The two casually gossiped, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the door that Azhu had opened earlier.

They had come and gone in a hurry then and hadn’t bothered to take a closer look.

If they had looked closely, they would have realized that on this door, there was also a mural of the Compassionate God.

It was engraved on top of this stone door.

The Compassion God was so high up that the blazing sun didn’t even seem to be able to match her, calling for people to only look up.

The high priest looked up for a moment before reaching out and touching the mechanism.

The stone door immediately unfolded, but unexpectedly, after the stone door, it was actually cold ice.

The High Priest was slightly stunned:

“In the Compassion God’s crypt, why is there so much cold ice? Could it be that …… the Compassion God has changed?”

“Perhaps it’s because we haven’t been in and out for many years, and those cold ice parasites are a bit agitated, aren’t they?

“If there really is a change, the ice should have disappeared.”

The matriarch said softly from the side.

The High Priestess murmured at his words and nodded with a complicated expression:

“How can we be allowed to wait for something that several generations could not wait for?

“Come in with me, the others will perform the resurrection ritual outside.

“Awakening the Compassion God is not a trivial matter, and no one can say for sure what will happen in between.

“So you all should not hear anything and rush in to disturb the Compassion God.

“Can you understand?”

“Yes, we understand.”

The crowd of Compassion God Priests in the arena agreed at the same time.

It was then that the High Priest casually tapped the cold ice with that walking stick.

The cold ice instantly cracked open, followed by a bang, the cold ice in front of the door crumbled as much as it could, and the portal appeared.

He took the first step and stepped into the Compassion God’s chamber.

Only then did the old patriarch follow him in.

“Close the door, don’t disturb the Compassion God.”

The High Priest spoke softly.

“Good.”

The patriarch was also a good-tempered one and obediently closed this gate.

The High Priestess, on the other hand, came before the Compassion God’s ice bed, put down the walking stick in his hand, and slowly knelt down to pay homage with great respect.

Just out of the corner of his eye, he realized that the patriarch behind him was still standing there, not kneeling, and could not help but stare:

“You still don’t kneel down and worship the Compassion God?”

“Yes.”

The patriarch sniffed and said softly:

“I will pay my respects now!”

With these words, he bowed to kneel, but at the moment he was about to kneel, he suddenly slowly raised his shriveled palm, and a mass of green vines was extending outwards in the center of his palm.

Poof!

Almost without any sign.

The High Priest’s body jerked up, and a demonic flower was seen to have sprung out from his front center.

In the mouth of the demonic flower, another object was struggling.

It was precisely the High Priest’s Life Transmission Compass.

He slowly turned back and looked at the patriarch with disbelief.

Wanting to reach out and grab it, yet the intense pain made his limbs powerless, and he could only grit his teeth and open his mouth:

“What …… are you …… doing?”

“If she died a thousand years ago, then I really should kneel in front of her and give her a respectful kowtow.

“But, she didn’t die ……

“What qualifications does a poisonous insect that clings to the Flute Clan and sucks blood and eats marrow have, to make me kneel and worship her?”

The old patriarch’s voice carried an indescribable ease.

It was as if he had just put down a million burdens.

Even the grayish color of his face seemed to have reddened a bit.

The high priest’s eyes were filled with dismay:

“You …… didn’t come here to awaken the Compassion God?

“You …… are confused!

“Sacrificing you and me in exchange …… for the future of the Flute Clan …… this, it’s worth it!!!”

“Worth it?”

The old patriarch, however, shook his head:

“No, you are wrong.

“After she really wakes up, the Flute Clan will not have a future.

“There will only be one more ancestor standing over the Flute Clan, shitting and pissing and taking what she wants.

“Her ambition is monstrous, and if she does come back to life.

“there’s no guarantee that my Flute Clan won’t be used by her to fulfill her ambitions.

“Now that the five nations of the outside world are in turmoil, she is bound to think it’s a heavenly opportunity.

“Under these circumstances, once my Flute Clan is involved, I’m afraid it’s all doom and gloom.

“She won’t die, but only the sons and daughters of my Flute Clan will die!

“And by that time, you and I will be dead.

“And who will be able to stop this ……”

“But she …… she is ……”

The high priest wanted to say more, but he saw that the old patriarch withdrew his hand, and the blood danhua, which had swallowed the life transmitting parasites, was pulled out from his chest.

Before the High Priest could finish his sentence, he sprayed out another mouthful of blood.

His body went limp and lay on the ground.

“I know who she is …… But, she doesn’t know who I am.”

The Matriarch’s eyes fell on the High Priestess’s face:

“Or, does the High Priestess know who the old man would be?”

Within the High Priest’s eyes, a tinge of suspicion flared, until after the old patriarch whispered two sentences in his ear, his face completely changed.

“You …… you even …… you even want to ……”

His eyes widened and his voice rose with a bang, but in the end, he did not wait to finish his last words before he had already died of gas.

The old patriarch sighed softly:

“The heart devouring compulsion in my heart, was planted by your own hands, today, I help you to take away your life transmission compulsion, to say that it should be considered …… repaying grudges with virtue.”

After saying that, he gazed at the Compassion God on the ice bed.

The Compassion God was absolutely beautiful, but in his eyes, it was like a flooding beast.

He exhaled slightly and opened the box he brought in.

The box given to him by the High Priestess had two layers.

Each layer had nine small boxes, and in each small box, there was an Intrinsic Compass that concerned the life and death of a Compassion God.

He placed these boxes and arranged them around the ice bed.

The surrounding cold ice parasites paid no heed to his actions.

In fact, as long as they weren’t going to destroy the ice layer on the Compassion God’s body to the detriment of the Compassion God, these cold ice parasites wouldn’t pay attention to anyone doing anything here.

After taking out all of the small boxes from the large box that the High Priestess had brought, all of them were taken out.

He also took out the Instinctive Compassions that he had previously brought from Ah Zhuo and the others in turn.

Finally, he slightly shook his hand and placed that Blood Dan Flower on the body of the Compassion God.

The Blood Dan Flower had just touched that cold ice, and the blood-colored texture seemed to fade, falling from the Blood Dan Flower and covering the cold ice.

The entire blood color was like a net, stringing together all the surrounding boxes that held the instinctive compulsion.

Click-click-click-click!

Sound after sound rang out, and the moment that blood-colored network touched those boxes, they opened on their own.

Various kinds of life compels seemed to have been captured by the blood-colored network.

It made them involuntarily walk towards the blood dan flower at the core.

As the patriarch quietly watched this scene, he heard a voice suddenly come from his side:

“If it’s not a Blood Dan Flower, it can also have this effect?”

The patriarch’s hair almost stood all the way up.

Turning around furiously, he realized that Jiang Ran had already come here at some point and was standing beside him watching.

Footsteps also came from outside at that moment, and it was none other than Tang Shixiang and the others.

The patriarch slowly sighed in relief and patted his chest:

“Demon Lord …… The old man is after all old, this kind of scare is not good ……

“Almost went to see the Compassion God first.”

“Isn’t …… the Compassion God just around the corner?”

Jiang Ran said, pointing to the Compassion God whose roots and whiskers were already rooted into the cold ice and still hadn’t moved the slightest bit.

And as those Instinctive Compulsions circled around the Blood Dan Flower, the Blood Dan Flower’s green vines grew stronger and stronger.

The entire bed of ice was spread out and covered densely.

It was completely impossible to see where the Compassion God was.

At the same time, a large flower skeleton was presented in front of everyone’s eyes.

By this time, those parasites that revolved around the Blood Dan Flower were all climbing on top of the flower path of the Blood Dan Flower.

It was as if they were a little bit of decoration for this huge Blood Dan Flower.

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this:

“It seems …… not quite right ah.

“This thing is absorbing the essence of these Benthic Compasses.

“If they die, then Wu Di and the others, what should happen?”

The matriarch gently shook his head:

“It won’t die …… Well, the cold ice is disintegrating!”

It was indeed disintegrating, the cold ice around them was turning into water, flowing at will.

And as the patriarch’s gaze turned with these currents, he realized that Jiang Ran’s side seemed to be missing a person.

Who was the missing person?
