Chapter 262 I don’t know why I was born, and I don’t know why I died.

Changsheng Hall.

Lu Changsheng was wearing a serious and old-fashioned black suit. Gu Jia, Guan Shan, and Niu Jiashun sat quietly in a circle and enjoyed breakfast.

The aftermath of the Lost Ones has not yet completely ended. Guan Shan has been on a mission outside these days and only returned to Yaoguang City this morning.

Gu Jia and Niu Jiashun have been helping their master and have been busy for many days.

[The Demon Slayer Department announced that Li Junchang, the former Lord of Sun City, performed an inhumane sacrifice ceremony in Yaoguang City seven days ago, resulting in the deaths of more than 5,000 people, more than 90% of whom were reserve and city defense soldiers. ]

[The official discovered Li Junchang's plot in time and mobilized the highest combat power. With the help of that adult, the betrayer was finally brought to justice and executed on the spot to comfort the dead and show that justice cannot be deceived. 】

【For every officer and resident who died in this incident, the Demon Slayer Department has decided to give their families the most comprehensive and sincere pensions and compensation to ensure that their sacrifices will not be forgotten and their families can be properly resettled. 】

【Yaoguang City, a city that has witnessed countless glory and dreams, is now covered with scars due to evil deeds, but please believe that disasters will not crush the tenacious human race. 】

【After sadness and anger, we will work hand in hand with more determined steps to rebuild our homes and protect every inch of peace and hope on this land. 】

Lu Changsheng turned off the news and put down his phone.

The official announcement did not mention the artificial crystal core, let alone the [God-making Ceremony]. Most of the people did not know what happened and just went through the gates of hell.

I don’t know why I was born, and I don’t know why I died.

This is Lu Changsheng’s most profound feeling at this time.

Silence for a moment.

Lu Changsheng slowly stood up and called to his disciples, "Let's go, it's time."

......

Early morning, Yaoguang City Martyrs Cemetery.

After finishing Sun Wencheng's funeral, Lu Changsheng and his disciples stood in front of the grave pit, on which was a black and white photo of Sun Wencheng, with a serious and old face.

A large group of staff from the Supervisory Institute in black suits, as well as colleagues from the Shadow Moon Pavilion, had arrived early.

Hua Quan stood in front of the grave pit, with a bandage on his head, and his walking was not smooth enough. His eyes were empty and out of focus, and he didn't know where to look.

Lu Changsheng, Guan Shan, Gu Jia, and Niu Jiashun gently put the coffin into the grave pit.

Rustling.

The soil slowly filled in, the coffin was gradually covered, and soon the grave pit was filled.

The last stone slab was covered, and Lu Changsheng looked at the last epitaph of Sun Wencheng, which he had prepared before his death.

"Just do good things, don't worry about the future."

After the ceremony, everyone left one after another until only Lu Changsheng and his apprentice were left.

"Master, I'll go get the car." Guan Shan patted Er Gouzi's shoulder calmly and left the cemetery with his senior sister.

Lu Changsheng looked at the serious old face quietly, and suddenly chuckled.

"Are you satisfied with the girl group yesterday? I spent a lot of money."

"You are a little older, but you are not young anymore, right?"

"If you really find a group of young girls, I'm afraid you will be shy."

"Actually, think about it, you should have retired a long time ago. You are old and can't even get a Venerable. It's not worth working so hard, right?"

"That's good now, no need to toss anymore."

No one paid attention to Lu Changsheng.

"You brought the guy named Huaquan here, didn't you? I asked around, and he was so confused that he didn't even take a step back."

"I glanced at him just now, and that look, wow."

"There are still many people in this world who think the same as you."

"You are not alone."

After a long silence.

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and turned to leave the cemetery.

A breeze blew by, and it seemed that a whisper came from a distance.

"I heard..."

"Your answer."

......

Back at Changsheng Hall, Lu Changsheng personally cooked and prepared a large table of food.

At the dinner table, seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Lu Changsheng took the initiative to speak, "Gou Shengzi, haven't the Lost Ones' affairs been completely dealt with yet?"

"Well, in addition to those awakened ones who obviously showed symptoms of being lost, there are many milder ones. They are all hidden in the major cities and are no different from normal people on weekdays."

"But once they are seriously stimulated, they will deteriorate rapidly."

"The laboratory under the Sun City Lord's Mansion has been sealed by the Demon Slayer Department. If we can get detailed data, we can find out all the awakened ones who participated in the manufacture of artificial crystal cores."

Lu Changsheng nodded. As long as there is no behind-the-scenes manipulator, the Lost Ones will not appear in large numbers. The rest are minor problems and will not cause too much trouble.

Gu Jia sat at the dining table, gently stirring the rice in the bowl with her hands, and her eyes looked at Lu Changsheng from time to time.

Her brows were slightly frowned, her lips were slightly pursed, and she wanted to speak several times, but swallowed it back at the critical moment.

"Jia'er, do you have anything to talk about?" Lu Changsheng noticed his disciple's abnormality, picked up the largest piece of ribs and put it in Gu Jia's bowl.

"Master...can I...take some tasks?" Gu Jia added nervously, "I will ask Sister Hongye to take me with me, there are so many lost people outside now."

"It will definitely take a lot of manpower. I have the strength of the third level now. It should be no problem to deal with those low-level awakeners."

Puff——

Guan Shan covered his mouth and almost spit out the rice in his mouth all over the table.

"Cough...cough..." Guan Shan confirmed for a long time before speaking blankly, "Senior sister...what strength do you say you have now?"

Guan Shan had never used the Qi-reading method on his family, and had no idea about the progress of his senior sister's cultivation.

Looking at Guan Shan's expression of seeing a ghost, Er Gouzi, who had never practiced, looked at his senior brother calmly like Lu Changsheng, with a puzzled mind.

Is the third level difficult?

I saw that his senior sister didn't practice much during the day?

It looks easy.

Er Gouzi didn't know that if his senior sister wanted, she didn't need to sleep at all. In the corner where he couldn't see, Gu Jia's cultivation almost never stopped.

Lu Changsheng glanced at Gou Shengzi with an expression of "what's the fuss?"

"It's possible... You still have to learn to control your own strength. But Jia'er, you must pay attention to safety and don't learn to be brave."

"I know, if you can beat me, fight me, if you can't beat me, run away, if you can't run away, call Master." Seeing that Master agreed, Gu Jia's eyes flashed, her chin raised slightly, and she said happily.

In addition to being able to gain experience through tasks, Gu Jia still had some thoughts in her mind that she didn't say.

Although Master only mentioned the battle of Yaoguang City lightly, she had seen the damaged city wall, and the actual battle situation was definitely not as easy as Master said.

When she thought of Master fighting for life and death with powerful enemies in the outside world, while she could only hide in [Xuantian Realm] and could do nothing.

Gu Jia felt choked up in her heart.

Master...

I will work hard to practice...

I won't always hide under your wings.

One day in the future, I will also protect you.

Not only Master, but also Gou Shengzi and Er Gouzi, I will protect them.

I am the eldest sister!

Well, Gu Jia, you can do it!

Gu Jia clenched her fists and said to herself in her heart.
