Chapter 199: Everyone, Rest Assured!

The plan for the Guardian Divine Soldier began to be implemented in an orderly manner.

A large amount of manpower and material resources successfully entered the corresponding areas under a green light all the way.

Apart from Bishop Qiao En as the primary creator, famous sculptors from all over Water Blue Star were unwilling to miss this excellent opportunity and came uninvited, hoping to join in this grand event.

For this, they were more than happy to even pay out of their own pockets to work.

On the night of the second day after reaching the cooperation plan, Bishop Qiao En was summoned into the Pot Heaven.

There, Bishop Qiao En received a bestowal and gained more profound knowledge.

He also obtained the holy water he most urgently needed at the moment to replenish his consumption of Dharma Power.

Su Ping, meanwhile, learned quite a few new ideas regarding the way of puppets from this fellow.

He also gained some insights into higher-level related knowledge.

After letting Bishop Qiao En leave.

Su Ping originally intended to summon He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

But he suddenly remembered Zhang Ping'an, whom he had arranged to travel the world.

This kid was mainly in the southern countries and regions; logically speaking, the area was no smaller than Zhou Xuan's trip to the Beidi, and the possibility of discovering rare treasures was still quite high.

Su Ping sent an invitation to Zhang Ping'an.

Not long after, Su Ping saw his new Registered Disciple, Zhang Ping'an, while sitting cross-legged on the Burial Ground.

Compared to before, Zhang Ping'an, who had traveled to hundreds of temples and hermitages on behalf of the Burial Ground and visited thousands of experts, looked more mature in temperament.

His eyes were bright and piercing, and sharp light could be seen within them.

Seeing Shu Daoren in person, Zhang Ping'an hurriedly bowed respectfully.

The excitement and enthusiasm at the corners of his mouth could not be concealed.

Su Ping nodded slightly and took out the other party's Dharma Artifact, the Copper Mirror.

He infused it with Dharma Power with his right hand and gave it a light wipe.

The information regarding things Zhang Ping'an had come into contact with during this period that could trigger a reaction was revealed.

There were only seven places with reactions; six of them were extremely dim, presumably because there were some valuable pigments on the statues or the raw materials of the utensils.

The light of this seventh place, however, made Su Ping's eyes brighten.

"It looks like there should be rare treasures here!"

Su Ping whispered in his heart, and then asked Zhang Ping'an in detail.

After Zhang Ping'an received the Storage Bag and accepted the order to head south.

He first went to the temples and various grand halls in nearby towns.

Relying on his identity as a spokesperson for Ghost Gods in the eyes of others, Zhang Ping'an could be considered to have received quite a bit of courtesy.

After leaving the towns and entering the primeval forests, Zhang Ping'an felt as if he had gone to another world.

The indigenous people and sorcerers here did not care about Zhang Ping'an's identity; often, only after he displayed extraordinary means would he be revered as an Avatar of various great gods, and then be allowed to visit their secrets.

Speaking of the thrilling parts beyond that, Zhang Ping'an was very excited.

He had also tried roasting and eating the fierce beasts that wanted to ambush him in the forest after killing them.

He had also encountered heinous kidnapping and robbery gangs hiding in the forest.

Under the premise that the other party opened fire first, Zhang Ping'an used Talismans and Dharma Artifacts.

Using a trick version of sword control, he killed his way through the entire gang alone, rescued the kidnapped boys and girls, and thus made the headlines in the south once.

As for the location of the rare treasures that Su Ping cared about most.

It was also asked out from Zhang Ping'an's mouth.

It was precisely the Baixiang Shenta in Baixiang Guo, where Zhang Ping'an had not yet left.

The Baixiang Shenta could also be considered a well-known tourist attraction in that region.

However, Zhang Ping'an naturally did not discover the treasure in the tourist area, but was invited to a private museum near the Baixiang Shenta.

It was there that Zhang Ping'an caused the Dharma Artifact Copper Mirror to heat up and issue a warning.

"Master, you want something in that private museum, right?"

Zhang Ping'an guessed Shu Daoren's thoughts and was not surprised by this; he had gone south for this very purpose.

Being able to find good things that Shu Daoren cared about was also a good thing for him.

"Although that private museum is registered under the name of a certain wealthy merchant, the real owner is actually the former president of the Baixiang Chamber of Commerce!"

"The former president of the Baixiang Chamber of Commerce?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping began to recall the relevant materials he had read.

Soon, he remembered the information about this former president.

The Baixiang Chamber of Commerce possessed immense power in Baixiang Guo, and its influence permeated every aspect of the entire Baixiang Guo.

Even though that former president had the word 'former' in his title, he was still a heavyweight figure within the Baixiang Chamber of Commerce.

It was just that rumors had it that the reason this former president retired early was not because he lost power, but due to health reasons.

"Hehehe, since that is the case, then this old man will go there personally."

"You... after informing the other party of this matter, continue your journey."

Hearing this, Zhang Ping'an naturally dared not refute and nodded repeatedly.

After sending Zhang Ping'an away, Su Ping prepared to set off for the south.

He had also considered giving Zhang Ping'an Spirit Pills and medicine, having him keep those rare treasures on his behalf, and then bringing them over during the next summoning.

However, considering Zhang Ping'an's knowledge and cultivation.

Things like 'returning the pearl to the merchant' might not necessarily not happen.

It was better to suffer a little himself and go see it personally to be more at ease.

After all, he was still just an unremarkable Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and he had no capable people under his command.

Once he became a Golden Core Cultivator and could act as an Old Ancestor to establish a sect, this situation should improve significantly.

At least on Water Blue Star, he truly did not fear any accidents happening.

Su Ping summoned Da Hei, fed it a Blood Qi Pill, then mounted its back and steered it as it swam all the way from the seabed to the coast of Baixiang Guo.

Along this journey, Su Ping deliberately chose a different route than the one he had taken when coming.

His Divine Sense was also fully activated, not letting go of any lost items in shipwrecks or various ruins on the seabed.

Scanning along the way like this, top-tier heavenly treasures were naturally not that easy to find.

However, he did discover some usable materials from places like seabed volcanic craters, coral mountains, and the bodies of deep-sea fish.

…………

In Baixiang Guo, on a mountain near the Baixiang Shenta, inside a private museum that looked low-key on the outside but was luxurious on the inside.

After receiving the notification from Zhang Ping'an, the former president of the Baixiang Chamber of Commerce brought his family and trusted aides to this building complex.

Furthermore, to show his respect.

This former president utilized his powerful influence to add quite a few treasures to this private museum in just a single night.

This time, Su Ping did not make a dark and gloomy entrance with a swarm of rats.

Leaving the other side with a memory akin to a horror movie scene.

After putting away Da Hei, who was tired from the journey, into the Pot Heaven, he steered a dark cloud and arrived near the Baixiang Shenta.

Causing those tourists to discover one after another that the sky had suddenly changed drastically.

Then, these tourists let out exclamations of surprise.

It was because they discovered a mass of black mist suddenly flying out of the dark clouds, which circled the surrounding sky twice before flying down to a certain hilltop.

"Is that an extraordinary being from our Baixiang Guo appearing?"

"Why does it feel a bit eerie?"

A tourist happened to be filming with a mobile phone at the time; after capturing this scene, he zoomed in on the footage and watched it repeatedly.

Yet, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the rapidly moving black mist was filled with some kind of sinister feeling.

Some busybodies, knowing there was a museum over there, hurriedly ran toward it.

Only to be stopped by security guards at the mountain gate very quickly.

"Private territory, entry to the mountain is prohibited today!"

The security guards had not expected that the extraordinary being from the Burial Ground would cause such a huge commotion.

Fortunately, the former president of the Baixiang Chamber of Commerce was not short of people, and security preparations had been made in advance.

This time, it came in handy.

As several buses drove up to the mountainside.

Security personnel carrying shields marched in formation, directly blocking the mountain gate physically.

This action naturally caused an uproar.

There were even reporters from Flower Flag Country and Ouluoba who ran over, holding up their press passes in hopes of obtaining interview rights.

For this, they even brought up the names of some big shots they knew.

It was just that... facing these privately contracted, expressionless security personnel, these little tricks of theirs clearly had no use at all.

Meanwhile, the former president and others in the first-floor lobby of the private museum knew that the extraordinary being from the Burial Ground had arrived after seeing the black mist descend.

They hurriedly opened the main door to welcome them.

Jie jie jie!

Suddenly, the expressions of the former president and the others changed, and their footsteps came to a sudden halt.

It was because they heard a burst of strange laughter coming from behind them.

Immediately, the former president and the others turned their heads to look, and were surprised to discover that a certain wizard, who had been wrapped in a black robe and had seemingly followed them, walked out and let out a signature strange laugh.

This wizard showed not a shred of awe toward the extraordinary being that had landed, but instead radiated black energy and coldness.

Leaning on a cane, he quickly leaped past the crowd.

"It's Grandmaster Po Wu!"

The former president's wife recognized the identity of this wizard and was somewhat excited:

"He is one of the most famous wizards in my hometown, rumored to be proficient in one hundred and eight methods of wind, fire, water, and lightning!"

"It's just that apart from his disciples, outsiders have never seen it with their own eyes, so I even thought he actually had no real skills."

"I didn't expect that he... was actually a real extraordinary wizard!"

Upon hearing this, the former president was surprised, but also secretly annoyed at these extraordinary beings; since they were right by his side, why didn't they show their true skills?

Could it be that the resources they possessed were truly not valued by the other party?

Clearly... judging by the matter at hand, his museum's treasures should have been quite attractive to these extraordinary beings!

Under the gaze of the trembling crowd.

The black-robed wizard arrived openly at the spot where Shu Daoren had landed and locked eyes with Su Ping, who was dressed like a villain.

Immediately after, both sides laughed and exchanged greetings.

This also allowed the former president and the others to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that these two extraordinary beings must be old acquaintances.

This black-robed wizard was naturally not some local extraordinary being who had suddenly popped up.

Rather, it was one of the silver paper doll Dharma Artifacts that Su Ping had obtained from the Storage Bag of the Blood God Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator!

After being activated by Su Ping's input of Dharma Power, this Dharma Artifact easily attached itself to the wizard who had followed the former president and the others.

And then, this silver paper doll possessed the other party, making him a puppet under Su Ping's control.

As for why he chose this wizard instead of other wizards.

That was not something Su Ping chose at random.

Under Su Ping's Divine Sense.

These wizards draped in black robes, who served as mysterious consultants for the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce.

Were all more or less entangled with resentment.

This is actually not hard to understand; in this region, the Cultivators of regular large temples and major lineages are fine, as they mostly focus on cultivating the heart and body.

But these wizards, who use witchcraft to swindle people and often end up swindling themselves, are not much different in behavior and temperament from the Side-Door Path of the Cultivation World.

Some of them even feel that it is not the art that is at fault, but that their own sacrifices were not diligent enough after failing to obtain supernatural powers despite using Evil Arts, so they choose to intensify their efforts and do not hesitate to commit heinous crimes for it.

The wizard Su Ping chose, named Po Wu, was the one among these wizards who was the most heinous and filled with soaring resentment.

And because there is no Spirit Qi on Water Blue Star.

The Divine Soul will gradually dissipate over time even if it is not damaged.

Even if attached to certain special implements or special geographical environments, it cannot last too long.

That the resentment can still be seen now only means this wizard had committed evil deeds not long ago...

"Po Wu."

After performing a salute, Su Ping gripped his cane tightly and tapped the ground lightly, addressing him by name:

"Originally, this old man did not intend to come this time."

"I did not expect a Registered Disciple to discover those things at your place, so this old man had no choice but to come."

"True Person Shu!"

Wizard Po Wu took a step back, and a blurry humanoid phantom about four or five meters tall emerged from the black Qi on his body.

"Do you really intend to offend the entire Witch Sect?"

"The entire Witch Sect?"

"Hahaha!"

"You Evil Cultivators, who don't even count as a Side Sect, are you worthy of representing the Witch Sect?"

After the former president and the others watched Shu Daoren burst into loud laughter, his tone changed abruptly.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became heavy.

Seeing that something was wrong, they hurriedly swallowed their saliva and slowly retreated back into the museum.

Afterwards, a bolder security guard had just closed the museum's glass door.

Boom!

They saw those two Evil Cultivators in the distance move!

It was just in the blink of an eye.

Their bodies could not even react.

They saw the humanoid black shadow released by Wizard Po Wu shattered by Shu Daoren with a single light strike of his cane.

And after the opponent's cane pointed at Wizard Po Wu.

This Wizard Po Wu flew backward, turned into a black shadow that smashed through the museum's glass door, and continued to fly backward, smashing through one curtain wall after another.

He did not stop in a wretched state until he rolled into a sculpture hall within a hundred meters of the museum.

Roar!

After falling to the ground, Wizard Po Wu quickly climbed up, his figure expanding and transforming into a giant ape four or five meters tall.

Only, the skin all over this giant ape was ruptured in many places, leaking black blood.

It let out a sound like a beast with a low roar.

Translucent wronged souls emerged one by one on its body, emitting painful wails.

And with the appearance of these wronged souls.

The entire museum's surveillance cameras malfunctioned one after another at this moment, accompanied by crackling sounds.

"To think you would make me reveal my true form! I will kill all of you! And devour your Divine Souls!"

"Today, in this place, there shall be no survivors!"

"Grandmaster Po Wu has turned into a monster!"

The former president's wife saw the transformed Wizard Po Wu through a hole in the curtain wall; her legs went weak, and she began to regret why her eyesight was so good.

Just as these people heard the giant ape's roar and were filled with fear and unease.

"Everyone, rest assured."

"The opponent is not a true demon, just an audacious Evil Cultivator who dared to devour demon blood."
