BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1701 - Call Upon the Unholy One
Chapter 1701: Call Upon the Unholy One
Zhu Honggong was furious when he heard those words. He stepped forward and kicked Yan Chengui as he said, “You still dare to threaten us? Tell the Unholy One to come out now! See if I don’t beat him down!”
Yan Guichen: “...”
Qi Sheng turned to Zhu Honggong to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
Yan Guichen endured the intense pain in his chest and said, “Who doesn’t know how to brag? If you want to avenge Shang Zhang, then do so! I won’t move!”
Qi Sheng smiled and said, “Don’t pretend and say such righteous words. You used despicable means to imprison Prince Mulberry in Ji Ming, and you also made Shang Zhang abandon his daughter. With these two matters alone, it’s reasonable for me to cripple you.”
Yan Guichen said, “Do you think things are so simple? Do you think the entire Nihilist Congregation could stir up such a commotion in the entire Great Void? You’ve overestimated us. Back then, was there anyone who dared to oppose the Great Void? Do you think the Sacred Temple was unaware that Wu Zu’s words were false?”
Qi Sheng was not surprised as though this was within his expectations. He said, “That’s why I’ll spare your life first.”
“What do you want?”
“Hand over the Unholy One’s painting and the Heaven Suppressing Pestle,” Qi Sheng said, “I was asked by Xihe Hall’s Holy Maiden to take back the Heaven Suppressing Pestle.”
Yan Guichen scoffed. “I’ve already said it. If you have the guts, go and demand them from the Unholy One. You young people, you don’t know what the Unholy One is like!” He took a deep breath and wiped the blood off the corners of his lips before he turned to the black-clad cultivator and said, “Fire Deity, what do you think?”
The black-clad cultivator only looked at Yan Guichen silently.
Qi Sheng smiled. “You’re wrong.”
“Hmm?”
“If I could find out that you’ve deciphered the eighth character from the poem, do you think I don’t understand the Unholy One?” Qi Sheng asked with a smile.
Yan Guichen’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Indeed. For him to know so many things, it’s obvious he has a deep understanding of the Unholy One.’
It took the Nihilist Congregation a long time to find the Unholy One’s painting and an even longer time to decipher a few characters. The other party tricked him by using the eighth character, exposing the secret base of the Nihilist Congregation.
‘This person is very… sinister and cunning.’
Finally, Yan Guichen looked at Qi Sheng and asked, “How?”
Qi Sheng said with a smile, “Because... I bear the mark of the seventh character.”
“...”
Yan Guichen’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “Qi Sheng… means the seven lives… The seventh character… It’s you?!”
Zhu Honggong kicked Yan Guichen again.
Bam!
Yan Guichen grunted. “You!”
Then, Zhu Honggong cursed, “F*ck! Are you going to say it’s heaven’s will again?! Qi Sheng is just a random name he came up with! You really like to make coincidences into something grander than they really are, don’t you? I feel angry just looking at you! I really have to beat you up!”
“...”
Qi Sheng rolled his eyes at Zhu Honggong and said, “I haven’t had enough fun yet. Why are you jumping the gun?”
Zhu Honggong turned around and grabbed Qi Sheng’s collar as he said, “Boring! Hurry up and return me my Seventh Senior Brother!”
Qi Sheng pushed Zhu Honggong’s hands away. “Let go, let go! I’m so dashing and handsome. Can you please pay some attention to my image? Don’t touch me.”
Yan Guichen: “...”
‘Did I really fall into these two idiots’ trap?’
Yan Guichen felt indignant. He had lived for so long, but he was fooled by two idiots! He felt like he had lived for such a long time in vain.
Zhu Honggong let go of Jiang Aijian’s collar and said, “Hurry up.”
Jiang Aijian straightened his collar before he said to Yan Guichen, “Since you’re a believer of the Unholy One, why don’t you ask him to come out?”
Yan Guichen thought about it for a moment before he said, “Very well, you asked for it. The Unholy One is the only god our congregation believes in. Today, I’ll ask the Unholy One to seek justice for me!”
At this time, Yan Guichen could only place his hope on the Unholy One. Whether the person who visited the Nihilist Congregation was a fake or not did not matter. He only needed to stall for time. Perhaps, the cult master and the other two cult leaders could save him. If the Unholy One had truly returned, it would be even better.
Following that, Yan Guichen brought a talisman out with great difficulty before lighting it up.
Swoosh!
Cult Leader Zhou’s projection appeared immediately. He was shocked to see Yan Guichen in such a miserable state. “Cult Leader Yan, what happened to you?!”
Yan Guichen said, “I’ve fallen into the trap of despicable people. I’d like to ask the two brothers to call upon the Unholy One for me!”
“Call upon the Unholy One?”
Qi Sheng moved to stand in front of the projection, appearing before Cult Leader Zhou. He said with a smile, “I’m Qi Sheng, the Commander of Tu Wei Hall. I was asked by the Xihe Hall’s Holy Maiden to take back the Heaven Suppressing Pestle.”
Realization dawned on Cult Leader Zhou, and he frowned. “Qi Sheng, the Commander of Tu Wei Hall? You actually schemed against Cult Leader Yan?”
“Your words sound very unpleasant even if they’re the truth,” Qi Sheng said, “If you can’t bring out the Heaven Suppressing Pestle and the Unholy One’s painting, I’ll annihilate your Nihilist Congregation.”
“...”
‘How arrogant!’
Cult Leader Zhou was about to lose his temper, but when he thought about how Yan Chenghui was deceived, he felt that the other party was not simple. His eyelids kept twitching as though they were foretelling a disaster. Then, he recalled the Unholy One had said to inform him immediately when Yan Chengui returned. He thought this was a good opportunity to raise the morale of the Nihilist Congregation. It was also a good opportunity to stop the Great Void from underestimating the Nihilist Congregation.
With all these thoughts in mind, Cult Leader Zhou nodded and said, “Very well. I’ll fulfill your wish.”
“I’ll be waiting for you in Winter Spring Valley,” Qi Sheng said.
Then, the projection cut off.
Zhu Honggong asked worriedly, “Isn’t this too risky? If they bring a lot of people over, won’twe be in a disadvantageous position?”
“What are you afraid of with the Solar and Lunar Concentric Jade?”
“You have a point. In any case, you’re the only one at a disadvantage,” Zhu Honggong said, growing bold.
Then, the trio waited.
…
At the same time.
In the ancient ruins.
Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu led a group of people and flew to Winter Spring Valley in a hurry. All in all, they brought almost 1,000 cultivators.
…
Less than two hours later.
The Nihilist Congregation’s flying chariot flew over from the distance and appeared in the distant sky above Winter Spring Valley.
“They’re here,” the black-clad cultivator said in a very deep voice.
Zhu Honggong flew up and saw the flying chariot and a large number of cultivators. After he landed, he said with a nod, “You’re right. Senior, your perception is really amazing. I’ll make sure to hide behind you so you can protect me later!”
Zhu Honggong quickly moved to stand behind the black-clad cultivator.
The black-clad cultivator: “...”
Qi Sheng stood with his hands on his back and looked at the sky.
Yan Guichen felt that the young man in front of him was strange. He did not know how to describe the feeling or the reason. After a moment, he said, “Since you understand the Unholy One, you should know how powerful he is. Who or what gave you the confidence to act like this?”
“Shut up,” the black-clad cultivator said in a hoarse voice.
Yan Guichen: “...”
Among the people present, only the Fire Deity could suppress him.
Yan Guichen said, “Fire Deity, you were one of the Four Divinities of Heaven, but yet, you’ve been reduced to a follower. This is really hard to believe.”
The black-clad cultivator raised his hand, and it began to burn.
“Stop!”
Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu stood on the deck and looked down.
The appearance of the duo gave Yan Guichen hope.
Cult Leader Zhou frowned. “So there’s an expert present.”
Yan Guichen turned to say to his fellow members, “With the presence of the Fire Deity, how can we be his opponent? It’s better for us to invite the Unholy One over.”
Upon hearing Yan Guichen’s words, the two cult leaders’ hearts skipped a beat.
‘Fire Deity? That black-clad cultivator is Ling Guang the Fire Deity?!’
With this, the duo no longer dared to be careless.
Cult Leader Zhou nodded and said, “I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Then, Cult Leader Zhou brought a talisman out before he ignited it.
