Chapter 312 The Future of Longhu Mountain
Chapter 312 The Future of Longhu Mountain
Before he finished speaking, the old Taoist's eyes became bright and sharp.
It seemed as if he had regained the vigor and fighting spirit of his youth.
Once upon a time, the old Taoist priest was also young and vigorous.
The memories of countless battles seemed to resurrect in my mind.
But now, this act of challenging the dignity of righteousness once again stirred up the long-dormant arrogance in his heart.
Lu Jin looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him and his expression became solemn.
He knew that although the old master was old, his determination and anger were still strong.
But it is unmatched by any young person.
Back then, Longhu Mountain stood tall and firm, and the old Heavenly Master led his disciples through countless storms.
Got through countless life and death tests.
Now, despite his age, his heart is still filled with overwhelming indignation and determination in the face of such provocation.
Lu Jin's mood also began to become excited and passionate.
He raised his head slightly, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, and muttered to himself:
“The Quan Xing faction dared to provoke Longhu Mountain so wantonly, and it was obvious that they had made sufficient preparations.
But since they have gone so far, we can’t just sit back and do nothing.”
The old Taoist priest raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he was looking at the glory of the past, and also as if he was looking for his own determination.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and said slowly:
“This is not just for revenge, but for the dignity of justice.
If the Quanxing faction is not eliminated, it will definitely bring more troubles in the future.
This time, the hidden hand behind this is probably not just targeting Longhu Mountain."
Lu Jin nodded and said in a deep voice:
“As you said, if this battle is fought only for personal revenge, it will not be a good one.
But we must be clear that the enemy’s target is not only Longhu Mountain, there must be deeper plots behind them.
If we don’t eradicate it completely, the situation in the future will probably become more complicated.”
The old Taoist's eyes gradually became cold, as if he had seen a huge battle about to unfold.
“The power behind the Quanxing faction should not be underestimated.
We must investigate deeply and eradicate its roots first.
If we don’t do this, the dignity of Longhu Mountain will be completely lost.”
There was a firm light in Lu Jin's eyes. He took a deep breath and said slowly:
“In this case, my Lu family is willing to follow the old Heavenly Master to ride out on horseback to destroy Quan Xing!
Although I am old, my strength is still as strong as before, and some things are still unbearable!"
The old Taoist nodded, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes unconsciously:
"Old Lu, I am enough to handle this matter.
Although I am no longer young, the passion in my heart has never faded.”
Lu Jin's eyes lit up, sensing the passionate emotion in the old Taoist's words.
His mood also surged.
He silently clenched his fists, as if he was infected by the old Taoist's passion:
"In that case, let's set out together to completely eradicate this evil force!"
The old Taoist priest slowly stood up, his steps steady and powerful:
“No rush, stabilize the situation in Longhu Mountain first.
Furthermore, Su Chen’s joining may provide us with important clues.
If we can work together with him, we might be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Lu Jin raised his eyebrows: "
Suchen?
You mean, cooperate with Nadutong?
However, his abilities should not be underestimated.
If we can unite with Su Chen, perhaps things will go more smoothly."
The old Taoist stared at Lu Jin and said in a steady tone:
“Su Chen has some special powers that we haven’t mastered.
His presence may allow us to take more initiative.
If he can help us get more intelligence, our actions will be more secure."
When the old Taoist mentioned Su Chen, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes filled with complex emotions:
“Although Su Chen is not a disciple of our Longhu Mountain, he has contributed the most.
He played an indispensable role in defeating Quan Xing this time, and he should still be interrogating Quan Xing's demon in Nadutong."
When Lu Jin heard the old Taoist's words, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
He nodded, his tone firm:
“Indeed, Su Chen’s ability is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
However, I have to admit that Su Chen’s previous rejection of my granddaughter Linglong also made us a little embarrassed.
There was a gap between him and me because of this.”
After hearing this, the old Taoist frowned slightly.
He didn't seem surprised by what Lu Jin said.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "
This is a small episode in the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
But no matter what, Su Chen did make great contributions to Longhu Mountain.
Although he is not my disciple, he is indeed the backbone of the righteous path in the future."
Lu Jin's heart moved slightly, and his thoughts were complicated.
He turned his head and looked out the window, his eyes vague, as if he was recalling something from the past:
“Su Chen is a genius, and he’s not a bad person.
But, I once hoped that he could marry Linglong.
But he politely declined.
At that time, Linglong was injured and felt somewhat disappointed. "
He paused, took a deep breath, and continued:
"But no matter what, since Su Chen was able to stand up so bravely against Quan Xing,
These little feelings between Linglong and I seem insignificant.”
A hint of understanding flashed across the old Taoist's eyes. He nodded slowly, his tone slightly comforting:
“Love is something that cannot be forced.
However, since Su Chen can stand firmly on the side of justice at this time,
No matter what happened between him and Linglong, it does not prevent us from affirming him."
Lu Jin thought for a moment and sighed.
A slight wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
“Yes, if you really want to achieve great things, feelings are nothing but clouds.
Linglong might have been a little sad about this at first, but given the current situation, we can no longer take this into account."
At this time, the old Taoist patted Lu Jin's shoulder gently, and said in a steady tone:
"You and I have come to this point today.
How can I still be bound by these emotions?
However, what is the fate between Linglong and Su Chen?
Let them handle it themselves.
The most important thing is that we must eliminate the enemy before us."
Lu Jin's eyes sternly nodded, and then a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes:
"You are right. Eradicating Quan Xing is our most important task right now."
The old Taoist priest looked at Lu Jin deeply and said:
"Su Chen is not just an ordinary young man.
His appearance changed a lot of things.
I once felt that there seemed to be some unknown power hidden in him.
These forces will be of great help to the battles we will face next."
Lu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were serious:
"You mean, Su Chen has some special power?"
The old Taoist nodded, his expression becoming profound:
"Yes, I also do not fully understand his power,
But I know that at critical moments, he can unleash potential that ordinary people can hardly imagine.”
