Chapter 496: Undercurrents Surging

The Star Sage's figure appeared in mid-air.

She scattered starlight, and the Soul of the Deep One High Priest was imprisoned.

Now, it was Hastur's turn to be stunned.

"How did you get in? I clearly cast a Barrier; generally, it is impossible to pass through the Barrier and enter here."

Hastur could not figure out what was going on.

It felt like its cerebellum was about to atrophy.

"Old One, can I not enter here before you set up the Barrier?"

The Star Sage covered her face.

She felt that Hastur, who claimed to be the King in Yellow, seemed to have an underdeveloped cerebellum to ask such a stupid question.

"Oh, right."

Hastur suddenly realized, which left the Star Sage even more speechless.

"The Soul of the Deep One High Priest has already been imprisoned by me, you don't need to worry."

"I will read all the memories in its Soul and forge the truth that it is still alive."

The Star Sage was in a great mood at this moment.

"Blue Star is our territory after all, we cannot let some deformed creatures mix in."

"As for that Scepter, if you absorb the divine power on the Scepter, can you give this Scepter to me?"

The Star Sage asked Hastur for the Deep One High Priest's Scepter.

"No problem."

Hastur stretched out its slippery tentacles and handed the Scepter to the Star Sage.

"Thanks."

The Star Sage said with a smile: "Little martial nephew, I will give you a piece of advice now."

"Destroy the Abyss Gate as soon as possible, and I have now been expelled from the Gospel Society by the Necromancer."

"In the future, do not count all the affairs of the Gospel Society on my head."

"I am going to the Xingjie to search for the remains of gods; I should not return to this plane for several years."

"Let us meet again if fate allows."

"Perhaps I will take the final step and ignite the divine fire."

"Perhaps I will perish forever, but everything is possible."

After the Star Sage finished speaking, her body dissipated into starlight once again.

"Your martial aunt is quite a decent person; she eliminated the biggest threat for us."

"However, how should we deal with the Abyss Gate?"

The Abyss Gate was crafted from Abyss stones and was located to the right of Cthulhu's Clone.

If the disturbance was too great, it might wake up Cthulhu's Clone.

Even if this Clone did not have the consciousness of the main body, it was still very difficult for Ye Bai to deal with.

"How about this, leave Cthulhu to me, and you go solve the Abyss Gate."

"If you can solve the Abyss Gate alone, I am afraid this plane will give you a good reward."

Cthulhu snapped its fingers with its slimy tentacles and disappeared from where it stood.

Ye Bai then activated the Blood Pool, sweeping the body of the Deep One High Priest and his guards into the Blood Pool.

The moment the High Priest's body touched the Blood Pool, the flesh and blood on its skeleton fell off one after another, turning into blood water and merging into the Blood Pool.

The skeleton, however, was washed by the Blood Pool.

The snow-white skeleton was soaked by blood threads, gradually turning blood-red.

Once the bones turned blood-red, Soul Fire would be born within their skulls, and depending on the strength of the Soul and the blood-bone, they would become a Blood Skeleton King or a Blood Skeleton General.

"The inheritance of the Blood Saint Son is indeed terrifying enough."

"As long as you kill the enemy, you can turn the enemy's skeleton into your own servant."

"It is fortunate that I killed the previous Blood Saint Son, and this current Blood Saint Son has surrendered to me."

"By the way, I have not received any news about the Resurrection Society for a long time now."

"I wonder if the escaped Necromancer has spread the information that the Blood Pool is in my hands."

The Necromancer was a guy who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance; its narrow-mindedness was only as big as a needle's eye.

When it unilaterally announced that the Star Sage had been expelled from the Gospel Society, the Demon Swordsman and the Thorn Maiden immediately came looking for it.

"Necromancer, have you gone mad?"

"How many peanuts have you had to get this drunk?"

"Do you know the significance of the Star Sage to the Gospel Society?"

"Even if she does not do anything and does not manage the Gospel Society, we must coax her."

"Because she has the potential to break through to the Ninth Rank, or even ignite the divine fire."

"And she has three Clones, each of which has the same strength as the main body."

"With her, we have four more peak Eighth Rank powerhouses; this is the reason why other underground organizations have never dared to provoke us."

"Now that you have unilaterally announced that the Star Sage has left the Gospel Society, many eyes will be watching us immediately."

"Do not think that you are safe and sound within the lair."

"There are many methods in the world that can restrain you."

The Demon Swordsman broke down the logic and spoke to the Necromancer.

But the Necromancer intended to go all the way to the end.

"Hmph, she has already backstabbed me, and you still want me to be magnanimous and forgive her?"

"You want me to turn a blind eye?"

"How could I possibly swallow this insult!!!"

The Necromancer said, exasperated.

"It is only the Eighth Tier, I still have Eighth-Tier undead in my possession, and in my lair, the Wangling Damudi, I have set up many traps; those underground organizations simply cannot break in."

The Necromancer said very proudly.

"I only came to advise you; if you won't listen, so be it, I will not force you."

"However, if the Gospel Society is besieged by other organizations and cannot withstand it, I will unilaterally announce my withdrawal from the Gospel Society."

"Necromancer, you had better watch yourself."

The Demon Swordsman gripped the Demon Sword in his hand, which emitted streaks of black light, and he vanished into the Shadow.

"Necromancer."

"You are too conceited."

"I can guess your thoughts; you do not wish for the Star Sage to surpass you, as that would hurt your pride."

"So you would rather resort to underhanded tricks than lower your face to properly negotiate with the Star Sage."

"You are too disregarding of the big picture."

The Thorn Maiden's words struck the Necromancer's sore spot.

He glared at the Thorn Maiden, his eyes wide with rage, the rubies within them flickering with an eerie light.

"Disregarding the big picture?"

"Heh heh, it is precisely because I am too concerned with the big picture that I let the Star Sage step on my head."

"I was already a Seven-Tier powerhouse hundreds of years ago, and for so many years, I have been stuck at the Seven-Tier Peak."

"Do you understand how I feel?"

"Watching one person after another surpass me, and even my Grave Whip was snatched away by you."

"Thorn Maiden, I envy you; behind you is the protection of the Suffering Goddess and Madam Butterfly."

"As long as you follow their will, you can steadily improve, and even ignite the divine fire to become a god."

"But I am different."

"Behind me, there is no big shot who can protect me, so all along, I have relied only on myself to get here."

"You think I am conceited and arrogant, but you have not discovered what a great price I have paid."

"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a Dashan, truly an insurmountable Dashan."

"The image of me in your minds has already been set."

"No matter what I do, you all think I have ulterior motives."

"You think I will infringe upon your interests and harm you."

"But I have never thought of such things; I only want to develop and strengthen the Gospel Society to become the number one underground organization on Blue Star."

The Necromancer spoke his thoughts, but the Thorn Maiden sensed that the Necromancer had not actually told the whole truth.

He had merely used clever rhetoric to blur the parts that were unfavorable to himself.

"When it comes to glib talk, I am no match for you."

"But Necromancer, do not let me down."

"Once I discover that the Gospel Society is beginning to decline, I will find another place to develop."

The Thorn Maiden transformed into countless thorns and vanished from the scene.

"Hahaha, you all blame me, one by one; is it wrong for me to want to pursue progress?"

"I have never asked you for, um, I haven't asked you for many favors in front of you."

"How could you three treat me like this?"

"When disaster strikes, everyone flies their own way."

"When disaster strikes, everyone flies their own way."

The Necromancer gripped the Scepter in his hand tightly, a flash of deep unwillingness in his eyes.

Could it be that the vast Gospel Society would ultimately dissolve in his own hands?

Where would he go from here?

At this moment, the Resurrection Society.

The four giants were sitting in the four corners of the conference room.

The Energy Saint Son, Spirit Saint Son, and Blood Saint Son were all standing in the middle.

"Blood Saint Son, the Necromancer is widely proclaiming that a person named Ye Bai has snatched the inheritance of the Blood Saint Son."

"You go yourself and verify the truth of this disappearance."

"If it is true, kill him directly and take back the inheritance."

"If it is false, kill him anyway and light his Soul as a sky lantern."

"Blood Saint Son, your strength is currently the weakest."

"You must work hard and strive to one day achieve great things just like the Spirit Saint Son and Energy Saint Son."

The Blood Saint Son lowered his head and did not look directly into the eyes of these Elders.

"By the way, since everyone has been gathered, I will discuss one thing here."

"I want to expand the Resurrection Society and absorb some of the middle-level cadres from the Gospel Society."

"The Star Sage left on her own, but her subordinates did not follow her."

"We can poach these people to the Resurrection Society."

"The Necromancer made a wrong decision."

"Although he once founded the Gospel Society, he did not completely control it, instead giving those who came later time to take control of the big picture."

"Now, most of the Gospel Society's prestige was built by the Star Sage."

"By doing this, the Necromancer is equivalent to laying off his original shareholders and his main artery."

"Let us just watch the Necromancer's good show."

"Spirit Saint, you have been keeping a close eye on the Gospel Society; with the Star Sage's departure, the Demon Swordsman and the Thorn Maiden likely cannot withstand the pressure either, so now it just depends on when they also unilaterally announce their departure from the Gospel Society."

"At that time, it will be when our Resurrection Society launches a full-scale attack on the Gospel Society."

"The Necromancer's Soul power is very abundant and can become your supplement."

Elder Feng said with a smile on his face.

"I understand, Elder Feng, I will definitely keep your words in mind, keep a death grip on the Necromancer, and find an opportunity to strike first."

Deep Sea City.

Ye Bai manipulated the Deep One High Priest, who had been transformed into a Blood-Colored Skeleton King, and arrived beside the high platform.

The exterior of the Deep One High Priest's body was possessed by a Water Rabbit, simulating the Deep One High Priest's aura vividly and perfectly.

Even the Deep Ones who were most familiar with the Deep One High Priest could not tell the difference.

At this moment, a horn sounded.

It represented that the entire Deep Sea City had fallen into a state of emergency.

At this time, everyone had to gather near the plaza and wait for the arrival of the Deep One High Priest.

After the Deep Ones arrived, they saw the solemn-faced Deep One High Priest.

What happened?

Why is the Deep One High Priest's expression so ugly?

Could something bad have happened?

Could it be that humans have invaded this place?

Suspicions flashed through the minds of the Deep Ones one after another.

"Our great people," the Deep One High Priest spoke.

"Humans have mastered a very special method."

"According to reports from our front lines, the Deep Ones we sent out this time all died with their heads burst open."

"Blood has polluted the entire deep sea."

"Everywhere are the headless corpses of our Deep Ones."

"Seeing such a scene, can everyone endure it?"

The Deep One High Priest stirred up everyone's indignation.

"No, we cannot endure it, we must fight to the end."

The Deep Ones erupted with a deafening sound.

"Good, I am very gratified." A few drops of liquid fell from the eye sockets of the Deep One High Priest.

"Now our great army is retreating steadily."

"There is no other way."

"Now, it is also time for us to take the initiative to sacrifice ourselves."

The Deep One High Priest directly took out a sharp dagger and stabbed it straight into his own heart.

"We must merge our Soul into His Majesty Cthulhu, we must use His Majesty Cthulhu to complete our revenge."

"Brothers, it is not important that we fall; what is important is that our spirit must be passed on."

"Begin the Blood Sacrifice."

After hearing the words disguised by the Water Rabbit, the Deep Ones one after another used sharp fish bones to pierce their own hearts.

"Long live the Deep Ones, long live the Deep Ones."

"We will definitely build a more beautiful home."

After the hearts of the Deep Ones were pierced, they naturally could not survive for long.

They fell to the ground one after another, blood flowing everywhere, but it was not flowing toward the altar; instead, it was flowing toward the Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool absorbed the blood essence of the Deep Ones and stirred up the blood, rolling these remains into it.

Cthulhu's body, floating in the sky, remained motionless.

Facing the death of his believers, he also remained indifferent.

"Come out, Blood-Colored Skeleton King, give me the Magic Sword and cut the Abyss Gate."

Two Blood-Colored Skeleton Kings took a large blade and swayed as they approached the Abyss Gate.

They raised the large blade and slashed fiercely at the frame of the Abyss Gate.

Only a 'Dong' sound was heard; the hand bones of the Blood-Colored Skeleton King revealed dense cracks, while there was only a shallow dent on the gate.

This dent seemed to be mocking the Blood-Colored Skeleton King for overestimating his own strength.

"How should I destroy the Abyss Gate?"

Ye Bai was also a novice forced into a situation; doing anything was a first, so he naturally could not think of a better way.

"Let's experiment for now; if it really doesn't work, I will think of other ways."

At this time, the Abyss Gate was in a closed state, and the other side of the gate could not feel what was happening on this side.
