Chapter 212

Walking along the main road, passing the imperial palace and walking for another half an hour, an eighteen-story palace stood in front of them.

The palace was majestic and magnificent, with glazed gold tiles shining in the sun, and even the walls were decorated with pearl powder and painted with gold lacquer.

Hanging under the eaves were not ordinary wind chimes, but strings of night pearls the size of pigeon eggs!

On the palace plaque: the four big characters "Guiyuan Shendian," shining with gold, majestic and intimidating.

Dongfang Qi couldn't help but click his tongue: "The folk houses are simple, the imperial palace is crude, but only this Guiyuan Shendian is luxurious to the extreme! Such luxury is truly breathtaking!"

When Lin Qingyue saw the appearance of the Shendian clearly, she was also somewhat surprised in her heart.

The appearance of the Guiyuan Shendian was actually the same as the Yun Gong in the Immortal Cultivation World back then!

The Yun Gong was originally a palace built by the alliance of major sects in the Immortal Cultivation World, used to discuss and decide major affairs, and also to recruit direct disciples of major sects to preach and teach.

The Yun Gong was built jointly by various sects; in order to show their strength, all kinds of rare treasures were piled up, reaching the extreme of luxury. Just for decorating the outer walls, tens of thousands of gold pearls were used, ground into pearl powder paint.

After the Yun Gong was built, it towered into the clouds, magnificent, like a pearl of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Later, after Qingyue ruled, she took it as her own.

She disliked those pearl-powdered white walls for being too monotonous, and after slaughtering the Eight Great Immortal Sects, she decorated the outer walls with blood. Thus, the holy Yun Gong became a bloody palace.

However, this Guiyuan Shendian in front of her was simply a reduced version of the Yun Gong. It was a bit shorter and smaller, but its luxury was exactly the same.

So, did that Guiyuan God really come from the Immortal Cultivation World three thousand years ago, like Lin Qingyue, trying to restore everything from back then?

Back then, her master died at the hands of those hypocrites, and she herself destroyed that absurd world at the cost of falling into the Demonic Path.

Now she still wants to make a comeback?

"Wishful thinking!" Lin Qingyue's voice was cold.

Outside the Guiyuan Shendian was a huge square, where tens of thousands of people were gathered at this moment, kneeling and kowtowing devoutly to the Shendian.

Some people took out all their family property and offered it devoutly to the altar.

The altar was piled with gold and silver treasures, and people kept sending offerings.

Beside it, an official was holding a book and recording the names of those who made offerings and the quantity of the tributes.

Anyone who sent tributes would receive a bottle of holy water, and then retreat with gratitude.

Among them, an old woman tremblingly sent a basket of eggs to the altar.

The registering official frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "You actually want to use a few broken eggs to perfunctorily deal with the Guiyuan Great God; it shows your sincerity is not enough! Go back, the god will not bestow blessings on you."

The old woman was panicked: "This basket of eggs is what I have saved for a long time, the only valuable thing in my family. Please, I beg you to accommodate me and bestow a bottle of holy water! My son is seriously ill, just waiting for the holy water to save his life!"

"The god only bestows blessings on sincere believers. Stop talking nonsense; if you disturb the god and the god brings down evil retribution, your whole family will be unlucky! Go away, go away!"

The old woman was still crying and begging, and was dragged away rudely by two guards.

The basket of eggs she had saved so hard was also overturned on the ground in the struggle, the golden egg liquid shattering into a pool of despair that could not be cleaned up.

At this time, two foreign merchants couldn't help but discuss:

"Are they crazy? They are starving themselves, why do they still make offerings to the god?"

"If the god here were really so miraculous, why are the people dressed in rags and looking like they are not living well at all?"

Their voices were not loud, but the people nearby heard them clearly, and the crowd immediately became angry.

"These two foreigners are blaspheming the god!"

"People who question the god are demons reincarnated; they should be burned alive and then thrown into the Wujian Hell!"

"Burn them, throw them into hell!"

The two foreigners were startled, never expecting that those people who looked stupid and cowardly would be so violent.

Realizing the situation was bad, they wanted to run.

However, the angry crowd surrounded them and started punching and kicking without saying a word. As if this would let the god see their sincerity.

Seeing that the two were about to be beaten to death, Dongfang Qi finally felt a touch of compassion and quietly drew a protective talisman and threw it over, which offset some of the damage.

Before they were beaten to death, the two fled in a panic.

Such a scene that turned the world upside down also made Dongfang Qi worry: "The people here have been completely brainwashed. If we really take action, I am afraid they will be the first to jump out and defend it with their lives. I am afraid that at that time, it will truly be a disaster for the people!"

Lin Qingyue knew better than him how terrifying those crazy believers were.

The worship of the god had been deeply rooted in their thoughts. They would rather lose their lives than believe that they had been deceived.

Lin Qingyue said: "The mastermind, that so-called god, since he is hiding in the Shendian enjoying happiness, let's find a way to mix in and find out."

If the other party's strength is not enough and is just bluffing, then give him a blow from the bottom of the pot and settle it once and for all.

If it is very powerful...

Lin Qingyue's face slowly sank.

... At worst, I will be the villain one more time! Slay the god one more time!
