Chapter 609: Chapter 165: Evil God Container, Love that Cuts Deep (Second Update 6K Seek Monthly Ticket)
It’s the "Slaanesh Sect"!
The Evil God worshipped by the Heroic Society, and the prayer uttered by the Slaanesh Sect on Principal Yang’s occasion, were almost exactly the same in format, the only difference being the descriptive language.
That is to say, there is a considerable probability that the Evil God worshipped here by the Heroic Society is the Abyss Demon Ancestor, one of the three other than "Slaanesh."
It could be Nagou, or it could be Horror!
What are they trying to do?
They brought the "Demon God’s Chosen" into the safety area!
No wonder I found it strange why the Heroic Society would dare to set up the sacrifice base within the safety area, wondering why they were not afraid of the Star Tower.
The ultimate reason lies here!
And the Demon Chosen is a grave affliction to the Human Clan; they possess a highly complete "Star Tower Stealth System"!
Xu Shu rarely cared to think, but he was someone who could quickly understand things once pointed out.
At this moment, after a few key pieces of information flashed through his mind, Xu Shu instantly grasped the truth.
After realizing it, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
"Back then, five or six Cultists could sacrifice and bring forth a Second-order Divine Chosen in the Wasteland, with so many offerings here, I’m afraid they could bring a Third-order, or even a Fourth-order Divine Chosen into the safety area!"
"Would the Star Tower be able to detect it then?"
"If a Fourth-order Divine Chosen enters the safety area, even if the Star Tower kills it after one strike, it would still be a tremendous disaster!"
As the former "Rashamon Ming King," as a true "Demigod," Xu Shu was acutely aware of how terrifying it would be if a Fourth-order being made a move within the safety area.
If a Fourth-order Divine Chosen indeed took command within the safety area and launched a full-force attack before being discovered by the Star Tower, it’s feared that not even one in ten of the three million inhabitants would survive.
The difference between humans and Demigods, sometimes, is even greater than the difference between humans and ants.
"No good, I must immediately tell Yu Mingluan the news!"
With this thought, Xu Shu quickly withdrew.
It was no longer safe to stay here, it was too dangerous.
Just then, he suddenly heard Lan Xin scream from the other side, as a man laughed, "Damn, this woman has gone mad, wants to kill herself! Giving her good food and drink for two days didn’t work! If sweetness doesn’t work, we have to get tough! Brothers, hold her down for me, this is a high-quality virgin we have here, I’ll give you a live show of unwrapping her, right here! I’ll infuse her with Divinity, cleanse the filth from her body!"
As he spoke, he chuckled, pulling open his robe and reaching to pull out his own support, clearly intent on doing something unspeakable.
"Ah! Let me go, you can’t do this! Save me, Xu Shu save me! Xu Shu save me!!!" Lan Xin screamed like a madwoman, desperately trying to slice her own throat with a dagger, seeking suicide.
However, the other guards, seeing this, increased their strength in restraining her to prevent her suicide, while chuckling with sly, eerie howls.
At this moment, it was the old priest who frowned, "Put her down, don’t mess around, she’s one of the vessels reserved by Qiansui."
"Don’t worry, elder, I’ve been blessed by the divine, God will like it! Maybe with me, she’ll genuinely be chosen!"
The male guard patted his chest proudly, revealing his torso, showing the bloody, mangled "X" on his chest.
Seeing this, the old priest didn’t stop him, but coldly said, "Daisi, not here, show some restraint in your actions, don’t ruin the master’s plans, they don’t want any complications."
"I know, praise the blessing of God!"
Daisi licked his lips, reached for Lan Xin’s partially exposed shoulder— and failed to grasp it.
"Huh?"
Daisi’s eyes suddenly showed confusion.
What happened? Where’s my hand?
He looked down to find his own hand had fallen to the ground, the cut at his wrist remarkably smooth; the blood didn’t react in time and only began to spurt out after a moment.
His head went lower and soon fell to the ground.
He was dead!
"Ah?"
"What’s going on!"
"Who are you!"
The surrounding guards shouted, as they saw a person standing over the body of their deceased comrade, his weapon a black-leather book.
This book was covered in blood; it had just sliced off Daisi’s hand and head.
A book, in his hands, was sharper than a blade!
"This seems to be the elder’s Bible..."
A guard felt the black-leather book looked familiar and turned to ask the old priest, only to find the old priest’s head had also fallen to the ground, lost and bewildered, staring at him.
The killer, of course, was Xu Shu himself!
This old priest was closest to Xu Shu, the first person Xu Shu took down.
Also a Second-order Transcendent just like himself, he had been entirely focused on using his abilities to control Lan Xin and was stealth-attacked by Xu Shu, not even able to scream before his death.
"Ah! An enemy—"
Crack.
The guard screamed, and then his head, too, was sheared off by Xu Shu.
But the cry had been heard, and other guards swarmed towards Xu Shu.
While Lan Xin was struggling and almost successful in her suicide attempt, she suddenly realized no one was restraining her anymore and they were all warily watching something in front of her, so she too looked.
Upon seeing who it was, Lan Xin’s eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Ah, it’s really you, Mr. Xu Shu!"
Lan Xin harbored deep guilt towards Xu Shu, a guilt that over time turned into a strong and profound affection. Now that he appeared before her, she was extremely happy, momentarily forgetting the peril she was in.
"Were you watching me just now?" Xu Shu sighed and asked.
