Gods: Start with Goblins

"Then... then why did you say something would happen to us?" a disciple asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear.

"Because I saw the dangers of the future." Elder Tianji spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, "I saw several powerful forces approaching, and their target is us. Moreover, I also saw... I saw the breath of death, and it is quietly approaching."

His words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts in an instant. They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with fear and anxiety.

"No... Impossible!" A disciple shook his head. "Luo Dan said he would keep us safe. How could he let anything happen to us?"

When Luo Dan was mentioned, a glimmer of hope flashed in everyone's eyes. They knew that Luo Dan was a leader in the sect, very powerful, and always kept his word. If he promised to keep them safe, then they would definitely be safe.

However, Elder Tianji sneered again, and his words were like a loud slap in their faces.

"Don't count on Luo Dan to save you." Elder Tianji said coldly, "You all know Luo Dan's character. He always keeps his word. But have you ever thought about it? He can save you, but he can also destroy you! If something unpredictable really happens in the future, do you think he will still protect you like he does now?"

Elder Tianji's words were like an icicle in the cold wind, piercing everyone's heart. They were immediately furious, and their trust in Luo Dan began to waver.

"No! We have to go find Luodan and ask for clarification!" a disciple roared. He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Elder Tianji.

"Stop!" Elder Tianji said in a deep voice, "What's the point of you going to Luodan now? What answer can he give you? What you should do is believe in your own strength and be prepared to deal with all difficulties in the future!"

His words were like a warning bell, instantly waking everyone up. They all stopped and began to ponder. They knew that no matter what difficulties they would encounter in the future, they could only rely on their own strength to truly protect themselves.

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was thin, and a towering pavilion stood in the night, as if it was the last fortress in the world. At the staircase of the pavilion, several figures had just stepped onto the steps, but were suddenly bounced back by an invisible force, as if they were suddenly pushed away by an invisible big hand. They staggered to stand firm, and wherever they looked, they saw that the building was covered with layers of barriers, which shone with light blue light, like a huge net, firmly blocking them out.

"What's going on?" A sect disciple roared, his face full of anger and unwillingness, "Luo Dan actually set up a barrier to keep us out!"

At this time, Pei Sheng walked out of the crowd, his expression solemn, his eyes revealing a trace of uneasiness. He knew very well that these sects came with a fierce momentum and a face full of anger, and it was obvious that they came prepared.

"Everyone calm down!" Pei Sheng tried to calm everyone down. "Let's first figure out the situation and then find a solution."

However, his persuasion did not have much effect. The sect disciples were still furious and clamored to see Luo Dan.

"We want to see Luo Dan. Call Luo Dan out and have him come to see us!" a disciple shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the night sky, "We will all wait for him here. If he doesn't come, don't blame us for being rude!"

"That's right!" Another disciple also agreed, "Didn't he agree to take us to the border? How could something go wrong on the way? This must have something to do with him!"

Pei Sheng frowned, his heart full of doubts. He did hear that Luo Dan had promised to take these sects to the border, but how could something go wrong on the way? Moreover, why did Luo Dan suddenly set up a barrier to keep them out?

At this time, Elder Tianji slowly walked out from the shadow of the pavilion. His steps were steady and his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. When Pei Sheng saw him, he immediately understood something. This old man must have used his mysterious prediction method to predict something ominous.

"Elder Tianji, what are you doing..." Pei Sheng asked, with a hint of awe in his tone.

Elder Tianji sighed slightly, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally stopped at Pei Sheng's face. "Pei Sheng, you don't know. I just used the prediction method to glimpse the dangers of the future. I'm afraid this trip will be dangerous."

His words were like a bombshell, instantly exploding in everyone's hearts. The sect disciples all changed color, looking at each other, with fear and anxiety flashing in their eyes.

"How could this happen?" a disciple asked in a trembling voice, "Aren't we fully prepared?"

Elder Tianji shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness. "Who can predict what will happen in the future? But since we have foreseen the danger, we can't take it lightly. Luodan set up the barrier, perhaps to protect us."

Pei Sheng's mind suddenly became clear when he heard this. He understood Luo Dan's intentions and also understood Elder Tianji's concerns. He took a deep breath, turned around and said loudly to the sect disciples: "Everyone listen! Since we have foreseen the danger, we must not act rashly. We must trust Luo Dan and believe that he can lead us through this crisis!"

His words were like a warm current, instantly warming everyone's heart. They nodded one after another, and the fire of hope rekindled in their eyes. They knew that no matter what difficulties they would encounter in the future, as long as they united as one, they would be able to overcome everything. The night was still dark, and the moonlight shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the open space in front of the pavilion, adding a touch of silver to the tense atmosphere. Pei Sheng's words were like a sharp blade, directly piercing the soft spot of Elder Tianji, making the already solemn atmosphere even more tense.

"Old man, if your prediction method is really that accurate, how could you not predict it that time in Lingshan?" Pei Sheng's voice was somewhat provocative, and his eyes were fixed on Elder Tianji, as if to penetrate his soul. "This proves that your method is useless! How can we pin our hopes on an unreliable prediction?"

His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples. The disciples of the surrounding sects recalled their experience in Lingshan, when Elder Tianji did not predict the impending crisis, which almost put them in danger. This memory was like a shadow, once again shrouding their hearts.

"Could it be... Could it be that it failed at that moment?" a disciple murmured to himself, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

Everyone's eyes fell on Elder Tianji, waiting for his answer. Elder Tianji's face was ashen, and his beard was shaking with anger, as if it would jump out and bite someone at any time.

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about here!" Elder Tianji shouted angrily, his voice full of resentment and anger, "What do you mean my predictions are only predictions? Things hidden by the Heavenly Dao are not something that ordinary people like us can easily see. But this time, I am absolutely sure! If you don't believe it, then forget it!"

There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his words, as if he was telling a truth that could not be understood. However, Pei Sheng was not moved by this. He shook his head, his eyes still full of doubt.

"I don't believe it." Pei Sheng's voice was firm and indifferent. "If the predicted numbers are really so reliable, why are we still in such a predicament? Why are there still disciples in danger in Lingshan? Elder Tianji, your prediction method is probably outdated."

Elder Tianji was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard this. He widened his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Pei Sheng into his stomach. However, at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Pei Sheng, you've made enough trouble!" Luo Dan walked out of the pavilion slowly, his expression calm and majestic, "The number predicted by Elder Tianji is a secret method passed down in our sect for thousands of years. It may have some shortcomings, but it is definitely not as useless as you said. I have my own arrangements for this trip, you just need to obey my orders, no need to say more."

Luo Dan's appearance seemed to inject a sedative into the tense atmosphere. The sect disciples lowered their heads and dared not speak. Pei Sheng also restrained his edge, but his eyes still flashed with an unyielding light. He knew that this debate about the predicted number was far from over. However, at this moment, they must unite as one to face the upcoming challenges together.

Elder Tianqi, oh no, it was Elder Tianji, who was so angry that he was shaking all over. His eyes, which were usually as deep as a pool, seemed to be able to spit fire at this moment, staring straight at Pei Sheng. His voice trembled slightly because of anger, but he still maintained an unquestionable majesty: "Pei Sheng, my prediction technique is the secret treasure of the sect. It has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. How could it be false? Otherwise, how did several sects turn danger into safety and avoid disasters time and time again under my guidance? You shameless child, it's okay to be ignorant, but you actually dare to slander me openly, it's really ridiculous!"

His words were like thunder, exploding in the night sky, causing pain in the eardrums of those around him. Upon hearing this, several disciples of the sect nodded, with a flash of realization in their eyes. They recalled the past, and Elder Tianji had indeed used his magical prediction skills many times to help them avoid countless crises, allowing the sect to remain safe and sound.

"The elder is right. How could his prediction skills be false?"

"That's right, Pei Sheng, you've gone too far this time. How can you question the elders like this?"

The disciples were talking one after another. It was obvious that Elder Tianji's words had successfully convinced them. Pei Sheng was anxious when he saw this. He couldn't let these people be fooled by Elder Tianji's words.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination, and immediately retorted: "I tell you, if you really believe what he said, then you might as well go to the spirit world by yourselves! Luodan wanted to take you there with good intentions, and he took great pains along the way. Now that something has happened, not only are you not grateful to him, but you are blaming him for the responsibility? What kind of nonsense is this! Check your conscience and ask yourself, is this the right thing to do?"

Pei Sheng's words were like a sharp blade, piercing everyone's soft spot. After hearing this, they all looked ashamed and lowered their heads. Yes, Luo Dan had always taken good care of them, and this trip was also for their own good. How could they deny all of Luo Dan's efforts because of an accident?

Elder Tianji saw this and smiled slightly. He knew that although Pei Sheng's words were sharp, they did enlighten these people. He spoke slowly, with a hint of relief in his voice: "Pei Sheng is right. Luo Dan has always been working for us. We can't deny him because of an accident. However, my prediction skills are not just for show. They do have their value. I will calculate this matter again carefully to ensure that we can safely go to the spirit world."

Elder Tianji's words were like a warm current that warmed everyone's hearts. They nodded one after another, and the fire of hope rekindled in their eyes. They knew that as long as they were united, no matter what difficulties they would encounter in the future, they would be able to overcome them together.

"If you have the ability, go by yourselves!" Pei Sheng's words were filled with anger, but also revealed a hint of helplessness. His eyes were like torches, sweeping over the disciples of the sects in front of him, only to see them all lower their heads and dare not say a word. They knew in their hearts that relying solely on their own strength, even if they could barely reach the spirit world, they would probably find it difficult to cope with the unknown challenges and dangers. The spirit world is a mysterious and ancient realm. It is said that it retains the form of ancient times, full of unknowns and opportunities, but it also hides endless crises.

After a moment of silence, one of the sect's disciples mustered up the courage, looked up at Pei Sheng, and said tactfully: "Pei Sheng, don't be angry, aren't we worried? Luo Dan is our leader. If anything happens to him, we will all be affected. Let us go in and see Luo Dan, and sit down and have a good discussion to see what the next countermeasures should be, which is much better than making blind guesses here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately echoed by other disciples of the sect. They nodded one after another, their eyes full of expectation and anxiety. "That's right, Pei Sheng, what is the purpose of us all going to the spirit world together? Isn't it to explore that unknown area and find the secrets of the ancient times? That place is the closest to the ancient times. If we don't work together, how can we overcome the difficulties together?"

Pei Sheng listened to their words, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew very well that although these sect disciples sometimes seemed dull, they all had good hearts and were working hard for a common goal. He sighed and said slowly: "Okay, since you all want to see Luo Dan, then I will take you in. (End of this chapter)
