Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 412: Can’t Save Fools

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Can’t Save Fools

Let’s be honest.

This tourist spot is crafted quite well.

A garden-like landscape, in the center of the city where every inch of land is precious, having such a vast area for this park speaks volumes about the power of the Celestial Dragon Sect.

Of course.

More accurately, it is the power of the Celestial Dragon Group backing the Celestial Dragon Sect.

It’s just that.

This beautiful garden-like landscape is now overcrowded, almost impossible to move.

Lu Ran and the others had no sense of direction and were just squeezing forward with the crowd.

Lu Ran almost wished he could just summon the Abyss Bone Dragon to fly ahead smoothly.

Just as Lu Ran was about to be overwhelmed by the crowd and couldn’t bear it anymore.

The crowd’s pace slowed down.

Lu Ran looked up.

This seemed to be the core area of the Celestial Dragon Sect’s park.

Not far away, temple buildings stood densely.

The overall scale was much grander than that of the Great Buddha Temple.

Although both are part of the Seven Zen Observation Gates, the Great Buddha Temple and the Celestial Dragon Sect are not on the same level.

Yet, this way of conducting things really is typical of the bald monks.

Because at this moment, the crowd was all gathered in the large square in front of the main hall, which was huge, much larger than the square where brainwashing took place at the Great Buddha Temple!

Moreover.

The people in the Great Buddha Temple were sitting separated on mats, which was somewhat orderly.

But here, it’s almost person against person, like dumplings in a pot!

The number of people here compared to the Great Buddha Temple is dozens of times more!

This is even with a constant stream of people outside trying to squeeze in, but it’s already nearing capacity here.

If the area was a little larger, there could be even more people!

“Oh my God, what are all these people coming here for?” Lu Ran muttered speechlessly.

“Probably all seeking protection,” Cheng Maixiang said.

She stood to Lu Ran’s right, unable to do anything because of the crowd.

Could only lean towards Lu Ran.

Since the surrounding people were all strangers, it was impossible to snuggle up to them.

Thus.

She appeared to be half-leaning against Lu Ran’s chest.

As for Cen Yunuo, she was in a similar situation.

However.

She was much more familiar with Lu Ran. Seeing people crowded together, to prevent being taken advantage of, she directly stuck to Lu Ran’s chest, leisurely looking around.

The pressure of the crowds all fell on Lu Ran.

“Everyone, please be quiet.”

At this moment.

A sudden shout came from the high platform at the front.

The crowded scene quieted down a bit.

Lu Ran heaved a sigh of relief, and conveniently pulled Cen Yunuo and Cheng Maixiang into his arms to stabilize them.

Then he looked up.

The speaker was a middle-aged monk, with a broad forehead, Lu Ran glanced and muttered, “A level fifty-five monk, not bad.”

At the same time.

Behind this middle-aged monk stood some high-level members of the Celestial Dragon Sect.

The most striking among them was an old monk.

The cassock on him was obviously extraordinary, similar to Master Wujue of the Great Buddha Temple, only the runes on it were clearly those of the Celestial Dragon Sect.

It seems this old monk was the highest-ranking person in the Celestial Dragon Sect, essentially the leader.

Several other middle-aged monks took their seats around him.

Also accompanied by some younger monks.

But it was worth mentioning.

In the seats next to the old monk, surprisingly, there weren’t monks sitting, but some well-groomed men in suits.

“What are those guys doing? Monks too?” Lu Ran asked curiously.

“They’re all shareholders of the Celestial Dragon Group,” Cheng Maixiang said.

Lu Ran nodded in astonishment.

Normally, the business executives behind such institutions do not show up easily.

It’s easy to undermine the Buddhist aura crafted by the temple.

They don’t expose their commercial nature lightly, because it would greatly reduce the impact.

But the Celestial Dragon Sect went ahead anyway.

This shows how deeply brainwashed people are!

Despite this, with the top executives who earn money behind showing face, it still drew such a crowd. Clearly, no one cared about such things here.

“I didn’t expect that after the Celestial Dragon Sect opened today, it would gain such admiration. On behalf of the Celestial Dragon Sect, I welcome all of you,” the monk said with a powerful voice.

No microphone was needed.

The scene wasn’t that quiet, yet the voice was still mighty and clear.

After a brief greeting.

The middle-aged monk got straight to the point.

Skipped even self-introduction.

Perhaps because the monk is so well known in Jingzhou that introductions were unnecessary.

“I understand why everyone is here today, rest assured, there’s something for everyone. Our Celestial Dragon Sect anticipated this worldly catastrophe long ago, so, our sect’s masters have worked tirelessly, sacrificing their longevity, day and night to consecrate a large number of Buddhist artifacts. Whoever wants to buy them, there will be enough for everyone. Let’s first thank the masters for their efforts!” the monk shouted.

Lu Ran sneered at this.

What a load of crap those masters came up with.

Masters have no time for such things.

Clearly, it’s the machines in their factories working non-stop. As long as there’s a target, there’s an endless supply of artifacts!

But the crowd around was unusually excited.

“Indeed, I came to the right place!”

“Haha… My neighbor said it’s impossible to get one.”

“My blessings are coming!”

“As long as I get an artifact, I will be safe!”

“Sob… so touching, the masters are sacrificing their longevity for us!”

“Masters, take care of your health.”

“Yes, yes, don’t exhaust yourselves.”

…

Listening to the crowd.

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo had lines of frustration across their foreheads.

This is just too exaggerated!

“Ridiculous, completely absurd! Tricking people to this extent!” Cen Yunuo gritted her teeth and said.

“What? Feeling sorry for these people?” Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and asked.

“If you asked me before, my answer would be: yes! But now, I realize, constantly saving the miserable ones won’t save an idiot!” Cen Yunuo cursed angrily biting her teeth.

“As long as you understand, some things aren’t about lacking the ability to change, but about not needing to change. People should live for themselves,” Lu Ran said to Cen Yunuo.

Cen Yunuo nodded.

Then she asked, “What do you plan to do now, act now?”

Acting means extinguishing the Celestial Dragon Sect.

“No rush, first get the money back, get Cheng Maixiang’s money back first, then I have an even better idea,” Lu Ran said.

“What?” Cen Yunuo was stunned.

“These people abandoned the Taoist Sect, right? Didn’t they all think Buddhism could protect them? Of course, it can’t in my hands, but under this world’s digitized rules, watching Buddhism unable to protect them isn’t that more fun?” Lu Ran said.

“What do you mean?” Cen Yunuo blinked and asked confusedly.

“How come you get cloudy upstairs, forgot, you can manipulate part of the data, like back in the Imperial Capital and Jialong City…” Lu Ran reminded.

Cen Yunuo immediately caught on.

“Monster invasion!” she exclaimed.
