Chapter 298: The Arrival of the Gospel
Yu Fuhai saw Li Heng, his gaze dim as he did not answer, feeling somewhat strange. "Senior, what has happened again?"
Li Heng's expression was subtle.
"How does your Hundred Saints Academy deal with traitors?"
Yu Fuhai was startled upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
On Hundred Saints Mountain, that Shaojun saw his teacher remain silent and continued to speak with a smile. "Teacher, do not use your decayed eyes to perceive us."
"We are not monsters; we are also human!"
"If you must use a rank to distinguish us, we are people who have received the True Baptism and True Enlightenment—True Humans! While you are merely fake humans living in illusion and utter decay."
Lv Zi frowned deeply.
He flicked his sleeve and rebuked, "Nonsense!"
"Humans are formed from the true essence of Heaven and Earth, walking the Righteous Dao!"
Although he intended to let his "disciple" go, hearing such rebellious words that deviated from orthodoxy, he had to speak out to rebuke and oppose them, so as to stabilize his Dao heart.
Shaojun shook his head and chuckled.
"Teacher, reality is just like this. Otherwise, why would Heaven and Earth undergo such changes, and why would there be True punishment upon you? The reason is that you and we are no longer the same species."
"The true will eventually eliminate the false, to exist Eternally."
Lv Zi did not continue to refute.
He admitted that Shaojun's words did indeed have some logic.
But if he were to truly acknowledge these words, it would be equivalent to denying himself and denying the path he walked.
"Do not try to bewitch me anymore; go. I do not know if you still value the inheritance of my Zha Jia, but I hope you can help me continue the Zha Jia inheritance in the future."
"What if I don't agree?"
"If you don't agree, you will not be able to leave and will only be executed by me on the spot," Lv Zi replied coldly.
He never considered himself to have betrayed the Hundred Saints Academy, nor did he feel he was on Shaojun's side. To him, he was just doing one deal after another, as he had always done.
He would let Shaojun go.
Shaojun would help him continue the Zha Jia inheritance.
This was fair.
Shaojun smiled and shook his head.
"Fine, fine, fine. I agree, Teacher. Since now others are the knife and chopping board and I am the fish and meat, I have no choice but to agree."
"I hope you keep your promise."
Lv Zi waved his large hand, and a spatial passage appeared.
"This spatial passage leads directly ten thousand miles away and shields your aura and heavenly secrets. Those fellows will not find you. Go quickly, do not delay any longer."
Shaojun nodded.
"Rest assured, Teacher. Today's kindness will surely be repaid in the future. If you ever fall into danger and are beyond redemption, I will certainly come to guide you, let you listen to the Gospel, and achieve True reality."
Shaojun said sincerely, about to step into the passage.
Lv Zi gave a self-deprecating smile upon hearing this.
Do these "monsters" even know how to be grateful and repay kindness?
"Lü Tao, what are you doing!"
A roar rang out.
Yu Fuhai and other accompanying figures appeared, their power erupting as they tried to seal the entire All Saints Secret Realm and sever this spatial passage.
Lv Zi's expression changed.
"Not good, go quickly!"
He kicked Shaojun directly into the spatial passage, and the passage vanished instantly. Yu Fuhai and the others had arrived a step too late, allowing that Shaojun to escape.
Lü Tao smiled.
"Sinner of the Academy, sinner of the human race Lü Tao, is willing to accept death."
"Heh, death? Do you know that even if you died a thousand times or ten thousand times, what you have done today could not be compensated for! Do you know how many similar monsters are lurking among the human race!"
Yu Fuhai sneered.
But this reaction made Lü Tao frown.
"You are the ones acting strange; you aren't that angry."
"I understand, you have a backup plan." Lü Tao's expression turned ashen.
Ten thousand miles away from the Hundred Saints Academy.
This place was on the edge of the Zhuzhu Dynasty; just a little further and one could step out of the range covered by the Luck of the Zhuzhu Dynasty and go into the many Uninhabited Forbidden Zones.
Even Heavenly Humans of the human race would not want to set foot in such a place.
It could be said that the Zha Jia Half-Saint Lü Tao had put in effort.
Shaojun appeared in a wide open space, looking at the gradually closing spatial passage. He spread his spirit, and not sensing any pursuers or ambushes, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
His expression turned gloomy, and he frowned tightly.
Damn it, why was it exposed?!
Although various forces had some suspicions about those of them who had successfully advanced to the Dharma Aspect, those were only suspicions, and they would not have moved to kill them at all.
And with such a grand display from the Hundred Saints Academy, his companions within the Academy must have met with misfortune. He must report this to the organization so that all his companions would know.
However, this place was not a place to stay for long.
He should first fly out of the territory under human jurisdiction, go to an Uninhabited Forbidden Zone where human Luck did not reach, and then use a Secret Technique to notify them; otherwise, it was highly likely to be detected by those human powerhouses.
Having made his decision.
He drove the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and flew toward the outside of the human border.
Then, with a *plop*, he fell to the ground.
Shaojun looked just like a bird with broken wings, plunging headfirst onto the ground. He was completely stunned; what was going on? Why had he suddenly fallen? The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was clearly obeying his commands, and there was nothing unusual about the surrounding rules.
He tried to fly up again, and then nothing happened.
He was dumbfounded; his flight technique had failed.
"Young man, what are you fussing about? This is a no-fly zone."
Hearing the voice, Shaojun turned his head to look. Not far from him, beside a small path, stood a small inn, and the innkeeper was pointing at a sign nearby, smiling as he spoke.
Shaojun walked closer to the inn and saw the sign clearly.
This sign was a wooden board with a bird painted on it, a circle surrounding the bird, and a cross drawn through the middle.
He suddenly realized.
"Ah, so that's it, it's a no-fly zone, I understand. Many thanks, Boss, I'll be going then."
He didn't even look back, heading quickly toward the border.
Then, after walking for a long time, he had not reached the border.
But he saw that small inn and that boss again.
Instantly, his expression turned gloomy.
How could he not know that the inn and the boss from just now were a bit strange? That was why he hadn't chosen to get entangled and had left directly, but now it seemed they didn't intend to let him go.
"May I ask, Shopkeeper, can you let me go?"
He walked up to the innkeeper and bowed sincerely.
"That is easily said, easily said."
The innkeeper smiled, and Shaojun smiled along with him. He hated him in his heart; sure enough, this damned fellow was the one playing tricks, but who exactly was this guy, and why was he waiting for him in this place?
"You help me sell this newspaper."
The innkeeper pulled a Weird Official Report out from under the counter.
Shaojun was instantly left in a state of disarray.
He was being asked to sell newspapers? What a joke, there was no one else here besides him and this damned innkeeper, where was he supposed to go to sell newspapers?
Moreover... this Official Report also looked problematic.
"What, are you unwilling?"
The innkeeper immediately furrowed his brows, his expression unfriendly.
Instantly, Shaojun cowered.
"No, I am willing."
Then he took the Weird Official Report with one hand.
A voice sounded instantly.
"You are a little newsboy, newsboy, hurry up and sell the papers... otherwise, die, die, die!"
Looking at this Official Report, the content also began to change, finally settling and revealing the specific details: 【Task: Sell one hundred newspapers within one hour, otherwise die!】
His expression was blank; it really was this kind of troublesome thing.
"Boss, can you let me go?"
The innkeeper pointed at this Official Report.
"You ask him if he agrees."
Li Heng said with a smile.
Even though he had reached the Dharma Aspect Realm, with strength sufficient to contend against a Heavenly Human, he had discovered that this Weird Official Report, which he had always ignored, was not simple. Even if he could interfere with Heaven and Earth Principles, he could not truly parse the core of this Weird Official Report.
And when he had come into contact with that Salvation Jade Slip.
After witnessing the Champion Marquis's strike that was guaranteed to hit, and experiencing Zhu Zi's Supernatural Ability to decide Life and Death with a single word, he discovered that it was very similar to the mechanism of the Strange, with effects just as unreasonable.
The difference was.
The Supernatural Abilities that the Champion Marquis and Zhu Zi comprehended from the Jade Slip were even more unreasonable, which once made him suspect that the Salvation Jade Slip was a higher-level Strange.
Although after he performed an Appraisal on this Salvation Jade Slip, that possibility was gone, but this gave rise to new associations for him.
For example, that so-called Salvation Plan.
Could the Salvation Plan be involved with this so-called Strange?
The Strange, immortal and indestructible, acting according to rules, able to kill by rules and characteristics, almost unavoidable. How similar was this to that strike of the Champion Marquis, and that sentence of Zhu Zi?
Li Heng seriously suspected.
This unreasonable power was the product of this so-called Salvation Plan researching the Strange and subsequently sublimating it. The nature was similar, yet it was even more unreasonable than the Strange.
Naturally, this was only his suspicion, and there was no evidence to prove it.
But since he already suspected it, and the current situation was relatively suitable for an experiment, he naturally had to try it out.
He wanted to use this Shaojun to see the upper limit of this Weird Official Report, and see if this Weird Official Report could interfere with that so-called Gospel.
From this, he would try to parse out the core of the Strange.
"Shopkeeper, you don't think this can do anything to me, do you?"
Shaojun suddenly started to laugh.
"Then you are welcome to try."
Li Heng was not too surprised by Shaojun's reaction.
The reason he let this Shaojun leave Hundred Saints Mountain, waited for him directly here, and even took out the Weird Official Report to do an experiment, was because he had seen that there was an unusual aura within Shaojun's body.
Perhaps.
It really might be able to draw out the so-called True Gospel, who knows?
Shaojun's expression was uncertain.
He had a trump card on him.
Otherwise, back at Hundred Saints Mountain, he would not have been so composed, or even had the presence of mind to beguile Lü Tao. However, the trump card was a one-time use; once used, it would be gone.
Was it truly necessary for him to use it in this place?
If he used this trump card to resolve this troublesome official report, could he incidentally also resolve this shopkeeper who had been waiting for him here and whose strength was unfathomable?
The answer was affirmative.
Because that was True Reality, that was Gospel.
He smiled; his own death was not worth pity, and this person's death was not worth pity either; he had to convey this information to all his companions.
"Gospel, descend," he said softly.
