Chapter 852: The Robbing Heavenly God

Combining these two legends, there is a connection between True Person Sanshui, the Great Fanghu lid, and the Que Beasts.

Removing the factor of True Person Sanshui, then, the Que Beasts running wild in Panlongcheng might have been released by the Great Fanghu lid.

Zhang Lianhai had been active in Heishui City of the Yuan Nation for several months, collecting a lot of intelligence, and even found three people involved. Two years ago, these three had followed the then-Prefect He to explore the Panlong ruins, and after surviving by luck, they often boasted about this past in taverns.

They all mentioned that once water was poured into the well of the Mitian God Temple, the entrance to the secret realm would open.

Note, it was the entrance to the Panlong secret realm.

However, this time Zhang Lianhai entered Panlongcheng again, and the Que Beasts of the Great Fanghu lid actually rushed out from this entrance? The disciple asked again: "After these monsters died, why did small light spots appear on their bodies? Zhang Lamp Envoy has been chasing the light spots, having walked very far, and avoided several groups of monsters along the way."

"Chasing the light spots?" He Jing realized, "Zhang Lianhai saw the clue." The one that could absorb these light spots might be the Great Fanghu.

Zhang Lianhai's ability was not weak, otherwise the Tiangong wouldn't have sent him to monitor the Panlong Desert. The current Panlongcheng was extremely dangerous, and he wouldn't rush out of his hiding place for no reason.

Unless he believed that there was something there worth risking.

He was still pondering carefully when the disciple suddenly widened his eyes: "Dou Envoy, look, look quickly!"

He looked at the mirror surface and saw Zhang Lianhai and others offending the little ghost-faced monkeys, and then, a huge monster pack rushed over!

Zhang Lianhai and others were chased by the beast pack. Even through the Haofang Mirror, the Tiangong envoys outside could feel the suffocating urgency.

The average strength of these monsters was far above the Danube beasts of the Fu Realm.

After all, the most unfriendly thing about the Fu Realm was the environment, the gravity.

The monsters sealed in the Great Fanghu lid appeared one after another, stealing the limelight from the Great Fanghu.

Why were they full of resentment and killing everyone they saw?

Even the people watching the mirror heard a few exceptionally loud beast roars.

What made them? A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and He Jing muttered: "No way? Could it be...?"

He had a strange idea:

Is there a possibility that it has been almost half a year since the unknown person wreaked havoc in the Tiangong, but the lid snatched back hasn't completely merged with the Great Fanghu body? Who said these two treasures could hit it off? The Tiangong had countless treasures, and He Jing knew one point very clearly: the more divine the object, the more personality it had.

This could explain the various anomalies in the Panlong Desert.

Perhaps they had been separated for too long, or perhaps these two treasures were too individualistic, and the Great Fanghu lid seemed quite resistant to the merger. The monsters Zhang Lianhai encountered in Panlongcheng were likely its means of resistance.

Every time a Que Beast was eliminated, the power of the Great Fanghu lid was taken away by the pot body, one diminishing and the other growing.

To achieve the final merger, one had to wait until the last Que Beast was also eliminated... right?

This should also be the Great Fanghu lid's final desperate resistance.

The disciple stared intently: "The Que Beast pack is chasing them, but Zhang Lamp Envoy is still desperately rushing to the east of the city!"

What's in the east of the city? He Jing and the attendants soon discovered Zhang Lianhai's destination: General Hong's cenotaph! Yes, it should be General Hong's tomb.

One hundred and sixty or seventy years ago, the connection between this half-human, half-god monster and the Great Fanghu was closer than that of Zhong Shengquan and the Great Fanghu.

Watching Zhang Lianhai dig open General Hong's tomb and discover the relic armor and small pot inside, He Jing's breathing became rapid.

The Great Fanghu! He could actually see the Great Fanghu with his own eyes! This was the supreme treasure the Heavenly Gods were thinking about, the root of countless bloody battles, the divine object that the Heavenly Gods had to pursue even if they killed all the holders!

Zhang Lianhai actually found it! This was truly a historic moment.

But the next second, the tomb moved further and further away from the young attendant.

The last image he saw was the blood-red mouth of the Que Beast! The image in the mirror disappeared here, only reflecting He Jing's face.

He sighed: "Just a little bit, just a little bit!" Zhang Lianhai, this useless thing!

The disciple asked: "Dou Envoy, what now?"

He Jing looked up at the dilapidated Panlongcheng, the hollow Nanchengmen like a wide-open mouth, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

But the Great Fanghu was indeed there! If he could retrieve the Great Fanghu, he would be the undisputed number one person in the Tiangong from now on—the main Douyun Envoy was already old, and there were four Douyun Envoys; the one with the highest voice for the position was originally Bai Ziqi.

His secret fight with Bai Ziqi had also lasted for several years.

This Great Fanghu could help him settle the situation in one fell swoop.

However, he had to say "however," He Jing also knew the danger of this trip.

Not to mention anything else, these Que Beasts always made him feel worried. The Danube beasts of the Fu Realm were not as strong as them in overall power, but the leader of the Danube beasts was very powerful.

What about these Snow Beasts? And there must be other dangers hidden in Panlongcheng.

Invisible dangers are the most terrifying.

The Great Fanghu, this supreme treasure, had never been separated from bloody battles and conspiracies.

He Jing, who had seen big storms, was also hesitant at this time.

He naturally knew the principle of high risk and high return, but how high was this risk?

Actually, thinking back, what he had to do was not to fight the Que Beasts head-on, but to seize the Great Fanghu in General Hong's tomb when the opportunity arose.

If he made some arrangements properly...

Another attendant said: "There are several other teams in the city."

"People in the city won't last until dawn..." He Jing pondered, "Why lure them over?"

Whether it was the red light or the reflected city in the sky, it now seemed to be bait for the Great Fanghu to attract adventurers into the desert and explore Panlongcheng.

Why did it do this?

To find a new master, or to use external force to eliminate the Que Beasts to help it tame the lid that had been lost for many years?

It was not strange for divine artifacts to choose their own masters, but He Jing was more inclined to the latter option.

Could this mean that the Great Fanghu didn't have much energy at the moment?

But once the pot body and pot lid were completely merged, the Great Fanghu would definitely be more powerful and unpredictable. By then, would he still have a chance to get it? Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, each one a gain or loss.

What if he didn't go in?

Could he report back to the Tiangong?

But just then, the pillar of light soaring into the sky in Panlongcheng flickered a few times, and the color gradually dimmed.

"The red pillar of light is about to disappear." Everyone looked at He Jing, waiting for his final decision.

Fu Liang whispered: "Dou Envoy, perhaps we can wait for the next red light to go in!"

"Next time?" He Jing looked at him, "When is the next time?"

"To, tomorrow?" Didn't this red light appear every night recently? "Are you sure it will definitely appear tomorrow?"

"Ah..." The disciple was speechless, "No, not sure!" He wasn't the Great Fanghu, how could he guarantee it? The red pillar of light appeared every night recently, which didn't mean it would come every day in the future.

This was not a pattern at all.

Just looking at the Que Beasts in the city covered in wounds, perhaps the Great Fanghu's torture of them was nearing its end.

At this time, an attendant pointed to the sky: "Dou Envoy, look! Seems to be coming toward us."

In the dark night sky, a light appeared at some point.

Everyone looked up and saw it constantly growing in their field of vision.

Seemed to be aimed at them.

No, seemed to be aimed at the South Gate of Panlongcheng.

That kind of rich green light looked particularly eerie against the background of the dark night.

He Jing's face changed, and he sternly scolded the attendant behind him: "Who of you secretly invited a god to descend?"

Everyone was shocked and shook their heads desperately.

Dou Envoy He said, this is a god's descent?!

Then this green light falling from the sky, could it be...? Their surprised expressions didn't look fake, and He Jing just asked casually. The preparation for inviting a god was cumbersome, he assumed these kids didn't understand.

Looking at it this way, someone in Panlongcheng invited a god, and succeeded?

Which god was invited? In a blink of an eye, the green light flew close, as dazzling as a comet, and those with weaker cultivation didn't dare to look directly at it.

Feeling that this thing was ill-intentioned, He Jing immediately ordered: "Bring out the Lamp Spirit!"

It came too fast, there was no time to set up a formation, the Lamp Guard could only take out the most powerful weapon.

Three golden lights lit up in the crowd, and three Lamp Spirits appeared.

He Jing had one in his palm, Fu Liang had one, and another Tiangong attendant had one.

They flew above the master's head, merging into a golden light shield, protecting everyone in the middle.

He Jing chanted a few times, and more than a hundred runes appeared on the golden light shield, also shining with golden light, moving slowly on the shield.

They were still standing in the desert, more than ten zhang away from the land bridge. The green light seemed to be aimed at Panlongcheng, but when it flew to the bridgehead, it suddenly made a turn and crashed toward them.

He Jing shouted: "Calm your mind and keep your thoughts pure!"

Everyone immediately calmed down and chanted the prestige of the Lingxu Holy Venerable loudly.

Even if a Heavenly God's avatar descended to the world, it had to descend into a human body to have power. And this unknown Heavenly God was clearly aimed at Panlongcheng, so why would it choose to descend outside the city?

But for safety's sake, He Jing still had to bring out the Lamp Spirit.

Humans without marks didn't agree, and the Heavenly God's avatar couldn't successfully descend. But they would use all kinds of threats and inducements.

With the protection of the Lamp Spirit's "Heart Lamp," the Tiangong envoys wouldn't be easily tempted by this wild god of unknown origin.

The green light crashed into the golden light shield.

Everyone, along with the light shield, swayed, feeling that this thing was coming aggressively.

But the green light immediately swept over the top of the golden light shield, turned back, and plunged into the Nanchengmen of Panlongcheng.

Afterward, it disappeared.

Everything was quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

He Jing then put away the Lamp Spirit, his heart full of doubts: why did this wild god crash into them? Although he called it a "wild god," as a Douyun Envoy, he could feel that the aura of the green light was definitely not from the Lingxu gods, but it was also very powerful.

The Tiangong crowd looked at each other, not knowing why, only the disciple driving the Lamp Spirit exclaimed: "Dou Envoy, my, my Lamp Spirit!"

He Jing looked down and saw that the white-gold candle in his hand only had a bean-sized flame left, swaying in the wind, about to go out.

Looking at its weak appearance, He Jing frowned: "The essence of your Lamp Spirit was snatched by that Heavenly God's avatar."

It's almost time for the climax of this volume.

Although this volume is not as long as the span of the upper part of the book, it won't be finished in two or three days.

The text still has to be typed word by word.

Friends who are in a hurry can save up some energy first, and I will notify everyone after the volume is finished.

It feels better to read it in one go.
