Chapter 143: What Can Be Done?

of Zhuang, as a benevolent ruler ought to be, looked at him with tolerance: “A true gentleman does not dwell on trifles. I see your sincerity, but not disrespect.”Du Yehu lowered his head and whispere...In the magnificent palace, the Holy Lord seemed to have been meditating for a hundred years.

Below the throne, Zhang Linchuan and Lu Yan stood on either side, the atmosphere somewhat... tense.

At least those behind Zhang Linchuan, including Tu Gu Mian, looked terrified, not even daring to breathe.

A man wearing a dragon bone mask stood in the lowermost position, but he was centered on the line, neither leaning towards Zhang Linchuan nor Lu Yan, only facing the Holy Master on the throne.

Standing beside him was someone wearing a monkey bone mask.

Lu Yan closed his eyes, which were only white, and said in a sinister voice: "The plague lurks, grows, and explodes in ordinary people before suddenly affecting the extraordinary. It's a complete plan! But now there are so many things missing. Zhang Linchuan, you want to take command, but what have you done You even used the magic artifact left by the rat face, is this all you can do"

"It was the Holy Lord who unleashed the plague in advance. You mean... are you saying it's the fault of the Holy Lord"

Faced with Elder Lu Yan's accusations, Zhang Linchuan showed no fear at all. It was evident that after the battle of Fenglin City, his status within the Bai Gu Dao had risen considerably.

"What does it have to do with the Lord It's your incompetence in choosing people. You entrusted such an important thing as the plague bell to Snake Face Back then in Maple Forest City, she acted alongside Rat Face and Dog Face, and yet stronger Rat Face and Dog Face died, while she survived. How can you still be so foolish as to trust her"

“Isn't that proof of her strong survival instincts” Zhang Linchuan replied with a lack of enthusiasm, “I also considered this.”

"Don't try to justify yourself!" Lu Yan roared. "Do you think I dare not kill you"

“You dare! Kill me right in front of the Holy Lord!” Zhang Linchuan also seemed to have genuinely angered, no longer maintaining a peaceful facade: “Anyway, under your so-called ‘wise’ plan, Bai Gu Dao has been utterly defeated in Fenglin City. High-ranking officials who died are dead, those being pursued are being chased, and it’s as if they are falling apart. I don't care if another mere messenger dies!”

"You!" Lu Yan was so angry he couldn't speak.

"Who am I I, guiding the development of the plague. Such an important matter should not be entrusted to the weak. But who can move Your plan has elevated Zhu Chengqian to a higher level and allowed Du Ruhui to break free from constraints. With Du Ruhui within reach, is it you who can move, or me"

Lu Yan gritted his teeth for a long time, then turned angrily and looked at the Dragon-Faced Man and said, "Dragon Face, what do you say"

Among the twelve bone faces of the White Bone Dao, the Rat face is the first among them. In terms of pure combat power, the Dragon face is the strongest of them all.

Of the twelve skeletal faces, only he had unlocked the inner sanctum.

In terms of strength and realm, he can be compared to Zhang Linchuan.

Therefore, compared to other Bone-Faced Ones, his status was also subtly higher. However, he had been in seclusion for a long time and rarely ventured out, so he was not as notorious as the other Bone-Faced Ones.

Lu Yan's question, on the surface, seemed to be asking Long Mian to clearly state his stance. However, there was also a hint of reproach in it, implying that Long Mian often went into seclusion, making him unavailable to the sect.

While Zhang Linchuan might have struck Lu Yan's sore spot, the Battle of Fenglin City is already over. Even if the Saint Master was oblivious to worldly affairs, it would be impossible for him to reopen old wounds at this time. Therefore, this sore spot is actually not painful or itchy.

The twists and turns here are many. The one standing beside the dragon's face, with a monkey-bone mask, eyes flickering, remained silent.

"Second Elder," Long Mian's voice was full of strength: "Why don't we just kill Du Ruhui That way, you would stop being so hesitant and afraid, and even dare to leave the underground palace."

Lu Yan: ...

Du Ruhui is a powerful warrior at the level of the third rank, Shenlin Realm. Looking at the strongest combat power in Bai Gu today, there's only him, Lu Yan, who has reached the fourth rank, Wailu Realm. The messengers, Saintess, and Dragon Face of Bai Gu are all at the Neifu Realm, which is a lower level.

As for the might of the Lord...

The White Bone Deity "awakening" within the body of the White Bone Daoist, its combat power would undoubtedly be far superior to when it could only reach out from afar through imprints.

However, just how much it can exert itself remains a mystery.

More obviously, the Lord Himself would never readily reveal "the answer."

That is to say, if they were to set a trap to kill Du Ruhui, they could only rely on themselves.

How to kill

Then there's still Du Ruhui, who possessed the divine power of "reaching heaven and earth with a single step"! Even two or three powerful beings might not be able to hold him back.

However, looking at Long Mian's war-ready face and eyes brimming with fighting spirit, Lu Yan knew he wasn't joking or trying to mock anyone. This was his genuine thought.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

The ruffian...

Thinking about this, Lu Yan even forgave him for yelling "Second Elder."

Who doesn't know that the White Bone Path only has one elder now And to emphasize the ranking of the second elder, it is most likely sarcasm. As for the remaining first and second, they are probably people like Dragon Face or Pig Face...

“Cough.” Seeing Lü Yan’s silence, Zhang Linchuan cleared his throat and said, “Let’s put aside the matter of Du Ruhui for now. The most urgent task is still that of Lord Saint. Lord Saint intends to use the rampant plague in this country to forge a plague incarnation, achieving a white bone holy body. Triggering it ahead of schedule is not complete, what can we do”

Lu Yan let out a cold snort. "Isn't this the position you chose The personnel you dispatched"

"You see," Zhang Linchuan spread his hands. "We're back to the problem of why I have no one available."

The two high-ranking officials here were pushing and shoving, like two street toughs, each calling out to the other "Come here!" They looked intimidating, but in reality they were just putting on a show.

The Saintess isn't even in the Palace Underground. No one knows where she is, what she's up to. Ever since Maple Forest City, these people seem farther away than ever.

Long Mian raised his head and looked. The Holy Master was still sitting there, expressionless and silent. No one knew if He was listening.

The Lord has no attitude, nor will he have any towards this.

"Monkey face, rabbit face." The dragon bone mask said, "Come closer."

The monkey-bone face was already standing beside him, so this remark was primarily directed at the rabbit-bone face.

The rabbit looked at Zhang Linchuan with a hint of fear in its eyes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhang Linchuan nodded slightly, and she cautiously moved a few steps closer to the person with the dragon bone face.

“I ask of you. The Pig Face is dead.”

The dragon-boned face paused for a moment, then continued, “Of the twelve people, he was the craziest and also the most foolish. But he was the only one who truly considered you brothers and sisters. You, aren't you even a little sad for him”

The rabbit-boned man huddled his neck and didn't dare to speak.

The more she acted this way, the angrier Long Mian became. However, he knew that now, this woman was a member of Zhang Linchuan's faction. The Saint Lord still needed to rely on these people; if he didn't want to ruin the Saint Lord's plan, he could only endure it for now.

It was the monkey-bone man's turn to be silent for a while before he spoke, "Of the twelve of us, only three are left alive."

He looked at the Dragonbone man: "Dragon Brother. You said that one by one, my sad words would help me get over it"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The dragon bone face fell silent for a moment!

Lu Yan closed his eyes, his face dark and gloomy, his thoughts unreadable.

Zhang Linchuan hid all his expressions behind the mask, only leaving a pair of eyes whose emotions were difficult to discern.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Every person in this subterranean palace hall has a face, and each one has a feeling.

No one knows what anyone truly thinks.

Even the greatest among us, who can truly say they understand the will of the Lord

This is a tricky request! I can't directly interact with HTML tags. My job is to understand and translate the text within them. So, if you provide me with the text inside the > tags, I'll be happy to translate it into English for you.

Just then.

The seated Lord spoke, his voice emotionless.
