Chapter 101: The Fake Goddess Against the True Deity

Bai Wei could not understand.

Along this journey, no information had been leaked, so how did Xiao Rui know about Xiao Moting's return to the capital, and why had he arranged so many Imperial Guards in advance?

A message from Xiao Moting came back immediately.

"There is a very powerful National Preceptor in the Imperial Palace who can not only calculate my whereabouts but also foresaw your existence. Tonight, Xiao Rui will lead eighty thousand Imperial Guards to search the entire city; we cannot hide for long."

"A National Preceptor? Predicting the will of Heaven?" Bai Wei held her breath, her eyes full of surprise. "He can even foresee me?"

Isn't this the kind of plot that only appears in xianxia dramas?

It is not mythology, nor is it unofficial history or miscellaneous notes!

There are actually real immortals in ancient times!

At this, Bai Wei was completely shocked.

Immediately after, a chill crept up her back.

She had been sending modern items to Daliang through her wardrobe to help the people of Beijiang, which is why everyone revered her as a "Goddess"!

But Daliang actually had a real deity.

This deity possessed true divine power, capable of not only summoning wind and rain and predicting the will of Heaven, but even foreseeing the future!

What was even more terrifying was that this real deity was standing on the opposite side of Xiao Moting, helping Xiao Rui!

In that case, wouldn't it be even harder for Xiao Moting to unify the world?

A true deity helping Xiao Rui, while she helped Xiao Moting.

She, a modern fake Goddess, was up against a true deity who possessed supreme divine power.

In the end, who would win?

Bai Wei's brows were tightly furrowed.

Now is not the time to consider this!

Xiao Moting must break out through the West Gate within one hour, otherwise, he would have to face the pursuit of eighty thousand Imperial Guards.

She must help him escape as soon as possible.

But... even if she sent equipment, it was simply impossible for just seven people to break out of the West Gate guarded by two thousand heavily armed soldiers.

Sending them tanks, bombers, air-to-ground rockets... that would indeed wipe out those two thousand soldiers.

But such large-scale thermal weapons could not be bought in the country even with money, and she had no way to go abroad to purchase them at such short notice!

What... on earth should she do?

Bai Wei's brows were twisted into a knot.

Ideas flashed rapidly through her mind one after another.

On Xiao Moting's side, it was now the middle of the night...

Daliang had no lights, only torches...

There was one method that might be worth a risky attempt.

If it succeeded, they could retreat safely without any casualties at all!

Thinking of this, Bai Wei immediately began to write.

"Xiao Moting, wait for me for half an hour! I will think of a way!"

Xiao Moting saw Bai Wei's message.

He looked up at the sky.

There was not much time left.

Qin Zhan asked anxiously, "Prince, what did Shennü Daren say?"

"Shennü Daren told us to wait for half an hour; she will think of a way."

"What?" Wu Da was startled. "We only have one hour, and nearly half an hour has already passed. If we keep waiting..."

Xiao Moting turned around, his expression calm.

"Since Shennü Daren has spoken, we will wait."

"This..." Wu Da's heart hung by a thread.

Wait for half an hour?

If they broke out right now, there was still a glimmer of hope.

If after half an hour, the Goddess had not thought of a way.

Wouldn't they have wasted their chance to get out of the city alive and be left to wait for death?

Wu Da was so anxious he felt as if he were burning up inside.

But since Xiao Moting had given the order, he could only wait.

"Don't worry." Qin Zhan patted him on the shoulder. "Anyway, if it weren't for the Goddess, we would have died long ago; this life we have now is a bonus! Even if Shennü Daren doesn't come up with an idea, we will accept our fate."

"So be it!" Wu Da gritted his teeth. "I should have starved to death in Yannan long ago; I've only lived until now thanks to the food the Goddess sent! Waiting a little longer won't hurt!"

For seven people to defeat two thousand heavily armed soldiers was an impossible mission.

If the Goddess did not provide a plan, he would accept his fate!

Time passed minute by minute.

Bai Wei did not reply.

The Northern Frontier Army outside the city sent another message via Drone.

"News from the city: the National Preceptor observed the celestial phenomena at night and predicted that you would break out through the West Gate!"

"Xiao Rui received instructions from the National Preceptor and has personally led ten thousand Imperial Guards to rush to the West City to seal off the district."

Xiao Moting's heart sank.

It's the National Preceptor again!

Who on earth is this National Preceptor?

The group fell silent as well.

Xiao Rui has taken ten thousand Imperial Guards to the West Gate; the troops stationed at the West Gate number twelve thousand, so it is already impossible for the seven of them to break through the encirclement.

"Chirp—"

Xiao Moting looked up at the sky.

The rocket signals in the sky are becoming increasingly dense.

Signals like these mean the Imperial Guard is mobilizing troops.

They have already discovered that the patrol squads in the streets have not reported back and are sending troops over.

Very soon, they will track them down here.

Xiao Moting leaves a message for Bai Wei.

"Shennü Daren, the National Preceptor has predicted that I will exit through the West Gate."

"Xiao Rui has already brought ten thousand Imperial Guards to the West Gate and is about to seal off the West City."

Bai Wei stands in the shop, her brows tightly furrowed.

"I really didn't expect the National Preceptor to be able to predict Xiao Moting's movements!"

"Such divine power is truly formidable."

It seems that tonight is not a battle between Xiao Moting and Xiao Rui at all!

It is a showdown between her and the National Preceptor!

Bai Wei takes a deep breath and urgently urges the shop assistant.

"Please hurry, I'm in a rush! I'll pay extra!"

"Alright, all shop assistants have been sent to the warehouse to look."

Bai Wei nods, her gaze firm.

This time!

She will win against an ancient true god!

A great person once called upon everyone.

To sweep away all monsters and demons!

Now, she will let this National Preceptor see how modern science will shatter his miracles!

Rumble... rumble...

From the distance comes a sound of rhythmic footsteps!

It is the iron hooves of the Imperial Guard, stepping on the blue bricks, emitting a thunderous roar!

The ground seems to be trembling slightly as well!

"The Imperial Guard has sent iron cavalry!" Qin Zhan's expression changes slightly, "Judging by the numbers, there are at least five thousand!"

The light of torches in the distance dyes the sky red.

Vaguely, one can see looming figures rapidly approaching.

"So many Imperial Guards, more than five thousand." Wu Da grits his teeth, "They've discovered the anomaly; it looks like we have no choice but to fight for our lives!"

The sound of iron hooves moves from afar to near!

They are already very close!

In the wind, the scent of rust blows over!

This is the smell of the Imperial Guard's iron armor!

Xiao Moting's expression is cold and stern as he grips his horse-chopping saber!

It seems there is no choice but to fight a bloody battle!

Just at this moment, a pile of things suddenly appears in the wardrobe.

"Shennü Daren has come!" Xiao Dabao cries with joy.

But immediately after, he opens his mouth in astonishment.

"This... what is this?"

In the wardrobe lies a pile of soft, squishy things, and they are flesh-colored.

Xiao Moting picks one up, and his brows immediately knit together.

He cannot recognize it.

"Is this... human skin?" Qin Zhan exclaims.

At this time, Bai Wei's message appears on the wardrobe.

"Xiao Moting, these are Silicone Masks from our side; I bought them roughly according to your contours, and your names are marked on the inside."

"Follow your own names and put the masks on."

"Although they don't fit perfectly, it won't be noticeable in the middle of the night for a while, hurry up and put them on!"
