Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 247 - 246: Shushan Upheaval, the Scarlet-Clad Maiden [Part 3]

The Supreme said:

"Furthermore, it's not only the Imperial City preparing for a national ascension."

Lin Heng's eyes narrowed, blurting out: "Is it also Little Sumeru Mountain?"

"Exactly!"

The Supreme gazed westward: "These past years, the Buddhist Sect has flourished, and Little Sumeru Mountain has long gathered immense fortune. Recently, they obtained the reincarnated body of Fa Hai."

"Fa Hai has awakened, and again a great fortune descends upon Little Sumeru Mountain."

"I believe it won't be long before the spectacle of monks flocking to Little Sumeru Mountain unfolds."

"At that time, it will also be when they prepare for ascension."

At this point, the Supreme couldn't help but warn Lin Heng:

"You should have that White Snake leave."

"With Fa Hai's awakening, you won't be able to keep her safe."

Lin Heng slightly raised an eyebrow: "What grudge does Fa Hai have against her? Why pursue her even after reincarnating to the mortal realm?"

The Supreme replied: "Grudge, certainly there is no grudge."

"Specifically why he won't let the White Snake go."

"I'm actually not very clear."

"But it seems there was once a prophecy within the Buddhist Sect."

"White Python Swallows Dragon!"

"As for whether this has any connection to the prophecy, I can't guarantee."

"You know, those people in the Buddhist Sect, they love to speak of cause and effect."

"Outsiders cannot fathom their minds."

The Supreme rarely scoffed, his tone full of helplessness and disdain for the Buddhist Sect.

"Indeed."

Lin Heng nodded in agreement.

"However, regarding Bai Suzhen..."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "She has been with me for long, repeatedly guarding my realm."

"If Fa Hai truly wishes to take her."

"I don't mind testing my strength against the legend of Jinshan Temple."

Lin Heng's eyes sparkled with sharpness.

With an invincible heart birthed long ago, now elevated to Celestial Human Realm, and fortune upon him, he feared nothing.

Remaining inconspicuous was fine.

Once his battle intent was revealed, he would be domineering and unbeatable, no one could make him retreat.

The Supreme caught the gleam in his eyes, momentarily stunned, and then chuckled softly:

"Indeed."

"Eight hundred years ago, Fa Hai was invincible to the world."

"In this era, aren't you also renowned across the lands?"

"I truly want to see, which of the two unparalleled prodigies of two eras is greater."

A touch of anticipation appeared on his face.

He then asked: "Now, do you have any more questions?"

Lin Heng pondered long, eventually setting his gaze on the six cities outside the Imperial City:

"If this Imperial City truly ascends, how many will be fortunate enough to leave with it?"

The Supreme replied truthfully: "It depends on themselves; now with everyone cultivating, it's actually a test of each person's innate talent."

"The Imperial City can't take everyone."

"The only thing I can guarantee is that before ascension, they will all receive protection."

"As for after..."

The Supreme fell silent, his meaning evident.

Lin Heng's eyes turned complex, but he didn't say much, only leaving one sentence.

"As for affairs afterward, I will find a way."

"As for affairs before, I hope you fulfill your words."

"Remember, during your promised time, if the people don't receive protection."

"Do not blame me for disrupting the ascension!"

"Farewell."

With those words, Lin Heng had already vanished.

The Supreme quietly gazed at the distant scene, chuckling quietly after a long while: "Indeed, hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once."

"Daoism has birthed a formidable figure once again."

...

...

After leaving the Imperial City, Lin Heng flew straight to Shushan.

The Corpse Fiend was dead, and the chaos of Maoshan was settled.

Now, he had to see if the traitors in Shushan had been rooted out.

However, halfway there.

Lin Heng encountered the anxiously waiting Black Bear Spirit.

"Boss? Boss!"

When he saw the one in the clouds was Lin Heng, the Black Bear Spirit was instantly overjoyed.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Heng was slightly astonished, it was a central point, left to Maoshan, right to Shushan.

The Black Bear Spirit hastily said: "I'm waiting for you here!"

"After you chased the Corpse Fiend out, I figured I couldn't catch up to you, so I thought of returning to Shushan to have a look."

"Then as I entered the mountain gate, I saw all of Shushan was in chaos."

"What?" Lin Heng's brow furrowed.

"What happened?"

The Black Bear Spirit quickly said: "I don't know either, there's a red mist, the Daoists of Maoshan were all sprawled on the ground, some seemed unconscious or dead."

"What about the three Masters?" Lin Heng showed signs of worry.

The Black Bear Spirit became more urgent upon hearing this: "They've gone mad, like possessed by ghosts, Master Gui Xu and Master Lian Zhou are fighting fiercely."

"Master Chao Ling is crashing into the Demon-locking Tower."

"The situation is too bizarre, I didn't dare go further in, so I hurried to run out."

"Waited outside Shushan for a long time without seeing you return, I feared you went to Maoshan, so I came to this must-pass location to wait for you."

"By the way, Boss, why did you take so long?"

The Black Bear Spirit was somewhat speechless.

"I went to meet Jigong, then took a trip to the Imperial City, so I was delayed."

"Enough, let's hurry to Shushan!"

Lin Heng couldn't afford to waste words, hurriedly rushing to Shushan.

The Inner Heaven and Earth of Shushan had long been opened by him, so entering this time was effortless.

But just upon stepping in, Lin Heng indeed saw the red mist the Black Bear Spirit spoke of.

At that moment, the entire Shushan was already enveloped in the red mist.

The path ahead was hazy, nothing could be seen.

Around him, only the sounds of intense battle echoed from the depths of Shushan.

Lin Heng's brow slightly furrowed, standing before the mountain gate he closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.

Dense Purple Qi blossomed in his eyes.

The path ahead instantly became clear.

Just as the Black Bear Spirit described, the Daoists guarding the Demon-locking Tower were all sprawled on the ground, unconscious.

At the sky's edge, Master Lian Zhou and Master Gui Xu, appearing as though they had lost their minds, each summoned their Dharma Aspect for battle.

What surprised Lin Heng even more was, Master Chao Ling, already elevated to Celestial Human Realm, also seemed to have gone mad in the red mist, now fiercely destroying the Demon-locking Tower's enchantments.

"Kuh kuh... kuh kuh..."

A silver bell-like laughter rang out.

Lin Heng's gaze fell upon the top of the Demon-locking Tower.

There, an enchanting girl dressed in a crimson Flowing Immortal Skirt, sat at the eaves' corner, dangling her slender legs while joyfully watching the battle between Master Lian Zhou and Master Gui Xu.

She rejoiced in others' misfortunes, her laughter lively and joy unbounded.

But the next second, she noticed a gaze upon her.

The red-clad girl's eyebrows furrowed, giving a direct stare back at the young Daoist beyond the mountain gate.

Then, with a swish, she leapt onto the eaves, balancing like walking a steel wire, standing atop the Demon-locking Tower spire.

The girl ceased her laughter, seemingly disrupted in her enjoyment, angrily making a bow-and-arrow gesture.

In an instant, the red mist around her surged wildly, converging on her slender hands.

A red bow, a red arrow, thus appeared.

Then, carrying terrifying demon energy, with a swish, it shot straight at Lin Heng.
