Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1124 - 341: The Secret of the Ascension Path, the Sixth Tombstone Fragment! (Part 3)
This State Governor had also safely weathered the storm.
However, the families and forces behind those experts were putting pressure on the State Governor one by one.
Though the State Governor was unafraid, he was not as efficient in his work at the State Government as before.
It wouldn't be an understatement to say he was in dire straits.
"Hoo..."
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew through.
The State Governor seemed to feel a slight chill.
He prepared to get up and close the window.
But as soon as he stood up, he seemed to see a figure standing right in his room.
"Who?"
The State Governor shivered all over.
"Greetings, State Governor!"
Lu Changsheng stepped out.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, the State Governor immediately recognized him.
"You... you're the Divine Body expert from Holy Zhou City who once asked me to visit the Academy's library. You're Lu Changsheng?"
The State Governor recalled.
He had an impression of Lu Changsheng.
He knew Lu Changsheng's name and background.
However, that was precisely why the State Governor was so shocked.
"How... how did you come out of the Ascension Path?"
"I remember, you entered the Ascension Path, there's no mistake."
"No one else came out, just you?"
The State Governor's eyes revealed a hint of shock.
Lu Changsheng came out!
Came out of the Ascension Path, no less.
What does that mean?
The so-called State Governor, belonging to a high-ranking official, knew some detailed information.
For instance, about the Ascension Path.
The Wenhua Divine Dynasty made it very clear.
Once you step into the Ascension Path, there's no doubt you'll die!
No one could possibly come out of the Ascension Path.
Yet, now Lu Changsheng was standing right in front of him.
And he was unharmed.
How is this possible?
"Why does it seem the State Governor looks quite surprised?"
"It seems the State Governor also knows the terror of the Ascension Path."
"Then why did the State Governor call us to our deaths back then?"
Lu Changsheng's tone was very calm.
However, the meaning in his words was not polite at all.
If the State Governor did not give him a satisfactory answer today.
Then he wouldn't mind slaughtering the State Governor.
Mere State Governor.
Even if he offends the Wenhua Divine Dynasty, so what?
He dared to kill the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty, would he be afraid to kill a State Governor?
At this point, the State Governor also realized his situation was quite dangerous.
He didn't hesitate any more and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Lu, back then I didn't know it was the Ascension Path. I thought it was some Outer Heaven divines entrenched in Shannan Prefecture City, so I gathered experts to deal with those Outer Heaven divines."
"It was only after people from the Wenhua Divine Dynasty came, that I learned it was the Ascension Path."
"Now I'm overwhelmed, and I don't even know how long I can remain as State Governor, all because the families or forces of those experts are giving me a hard time."
"If I knew such severe consequences would ensue, how could I have sent everyone to their deaths? Why bring this upon myself?"
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, it seemed to make sense.
The State Governor had no reason to send them to their deaths.
This would be an ungrateful task.
Most likely, the State Governor didn't know about the Ascension Path.
It was only when someone from the high echelons of the Divine Dynasty came down and informed the State Governor about the Ascension Path.
"What explanation did the high echelons of the Divine Dynasty give you?"
Lu Changsheng asked again.
"The high echelons of the Divine Dynasty did come down, and personally investigated Shannan Prefecture City."
"Later they said they clarified everything, had the army withdraw, and declared the area around Shannan Prefecture City a restricted zone. They explained to me that it was the Ascension Path, and it was extremely dangerous."
"Once entered into the Ascension Path, you're doomed to die! Anyone entering the Ascension Path is likely dead, and no one can save them."
"I had no choice but to obey orders to withdraw the troops, until Mr. Lu came to the State Government today…"
The State Governor was indeed quite curious.
Why was Lu Changsheng not dead?
Could it be, Lu Changsheng never entered the Ascension Path?
But that didn't make sense, he clearly saw Lu Changsheng enter…
The State Governor dared not pursue further questions, but Lu Changsheng could roughly guess the State Governor's thoughts.
So, Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, we all entered Shannan Prefecture City, not the Ascension Path."
"In Shannan Prefecture City, there is the Ascension Path. Almost everyone stepped into the Ascension Path. However, because I was cautious, I planned to enter the Ascension Path a little later."
"As a result, after waiting for a few days, none who entered the Ascension Path came out. That's when I realized there was a problem, and I dared not enter the Ascension Path, instead hiding in Shannan Prefecture City, until I recently came out, only to find the army had withdrawn."
Lu Changsheng's explanation indeed made sense.
But it was still quite forced.
The State Governor remained skeptical.
But Lu Changsheng didn't need the State Governor to believe him unquestionably.
Whether the State Governor believed it or not was not important to Lu Changsheng.
"State Governor, so many people died, I barely escaped with my life."
"I wonder, where is the State Governor's compensation?"
Since Lu Changsheng came, he wouldn't leave empty-handed.
He had indeed escaped death when entering the Ascension Path, it was not as easy as he made it sound.
Even if the State Governor hadn't sent them to their deaths, Lu Changsheng still intended to make the State Governor pay dearly.
"Compensation?"
The State Governor was slightly surprised.
What compensation?
In reality, the dead were just dead.
After all, the State Governor was a high official, how could the families of those experts oppose him?
The citizens can't fight against the officials.
If those Divine and Spiritual Body experts were alive, naturally they wouldn't fear the State Governor.
But they were already dead.
And Lu Changsheng was different.
He was a living Divine Body expert, standing right in front of the State Governor.
