Chapter 1681: Just Endure It

Forming a Dao Seal with both hands, Chen Yu took a deep breath, then pointed straight ahead.

Xin'er shrieked; she felt as if something were being forcibly stripped from her physical body, a pain so intense she could not endure it at all.

A thick mass of black Qi was forcibly squeezed out of her body, and her legs went weak, causing her to collapse to the ground in exhaustion.

What had fallen to the ground was the Dark Mark; it was more like a parasitic creature that had been lodging inside Xin'er's body.

Now that this thing had been forcibly expelled from Xin'er, it scurried about in a panic, seemingly searching for a new opening, and then it rapidly rushed toward Xin'er.

Then she walked forward and snatched this thing into her hand.

This mass of black Qi kept changing shape in her hand, looking quite ferocious.

"Giggle, this is actually quite interesting; the dark aura on it is very thick." Hong Hou looked at the thing in her hand with interest and chuckled: "It's a pity, you cannot escape my control."

After speaking, Hong Hou actually opened her mouth and swallowed the thing in her hand.

The black Qi let out a human-like scream and then vanished into Hong Hou's mouth.

"That move of yours is quite terrifying." Chen Yu was somewhat dumbfounded.

The dark aura on this thing was very heavy; for Hong Hou, this thing was a tonic, but for her to swallow it so directly was indeed quite terrifying.

"Sorry, I haven't seen such a potent tonic in a long time, and I couldn't hold back for a moment." Hong Hou said somewhat embarrassedly. She turned her head to look at Xin'er, and seeing Xin'er's face deathly pale, she smiled: "I didn't scare you, did I?"

"No, no." Xin'er hurriedly shook her head, though she said she wasn't scared, it would be strange if she weren't, judging by the expression on her face.

"Alright, the Dark Mark has been completely stripped from your body, and from now on you will be free." Chen Yu said: "To be safe, I will have Hong Hou follow you, because Jiutun must have had his reasons for choosing you as his spokesperson."

"Perhaps there is something on you that he needs, which is why you were the suitable candidate."

"Okay." Xin'er stood up and nodded slightly.

Just at this moment, a man wearing a long black robe appeared in their field of vision; this man was clad in a black robe and looked very mysterious.

He slowly approached Chen Yu and the others, then lifted the black hood from his head, revealing a look of confusion.

"Who are you people?" The man in black spoke: "Where is our handmaiden?"

"Handmaiden?" Chen Yu furrowed his brows: "A handmaiden of the Apocalypse Society?"

"That's right." The man stared at the group, his gaze falling on Xin'er, who was standing at the very back.

Xin'er was the handmaiden he was looking for, but when he saw the aura on her clearly, his expression changed slightly, and he blurted out: "What is going on? Where did the Dark Mark on you go?"

"Oh, I see." Chen Yu nodded: "You are from the Apocalypse Society, right?"

"I am a Special Envoy of the Apocalypse Society. Who are you?" The man's gaze toward Chen Yu also became guarded; he grabbed with his right hand, and a Bone Staff appeared in his hand.

"So you're also one of Jiutun's dogs." Chen Yu suddenly realized, and he nodded: "Not bad, you came to collect the power Xin'er condensed, right?"

"You forced the Dark Mark out?" The man looked at Xin'er, his expression growing increasingly ugly: "No one can refuse the favor of a god. The mark the god bestowed upon you is the god's trust in you; now you have betrayed the god's trust."

"So what?" Chen Yu blocked Xin'er's front and said coldly: "Go back and tell Jiutun that Xin'er has no interest in his bullshit divine affairs, and you lot should stay away from her in the future."

"You have betrayed the god's trust, that is blasphemy." The man roared: "I, Qingtian Ye, shall represent my god to punish you; you should be executed."

Qingtian Ye tapped the Scepter in his hand forward slightly and shouted in a deep voice: "The glory the god bestowed upon you, yet you desecrate it. Those who betray the god's trust shall be purged."

Following the tap of his Scepter, a green light suddenly appeared and struck toward Chen Yu and the other two. Since this guy was a Special Envoy, he certainly had some extraordinary qualities.

Actually, although Jiutun's strength was less than one-thousandth of what it used to be, he was, after all, someone who had luckily obtained a Divinity, so as long as he gave this so-called Special Envoy a little Divine Power, this guy could become very strong.

Now, the way this guy was acting so ferociously really made one feel quite annoyed.

Hong Hou smiled slightly, walked forward, and flicked her sleeve.

A gust of Qingfeng arose, and that green light vanished without a trace, leaving only Qingtian Ye standing there in a daze.

"What happened? You dispersed my Divine Power? This is impossible." Qingtian Ye was furious; he didn't believe this was real, because ever since he became a Special Envoy, no matter where he went, he possessed the power to summon wind and rain.

But the situation today was something he had never encountered before, and he didn't know what had happened; he had clearly used the Scepter to unleash Divine Power.

"You are a believer of Jiutun, right?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and sized up Qingtian Ye: "Looking at you, one can tell at a glance that you are someone who has been deeply brainwashed; otherwise, you wouldn't have been appointed as a Special Envoy."

"Great God Jiutun is the only god that exists in this world; I will not allow you to insult the god." Qingtian Ye said angrily.

"Is he a god? He bestowed a little Divine Power upon you, and you think you're special?" Chen Yu sneered: "I know these charlatans too well. They brainwash you, then bestow a little Divine Power, and in the end, make you feel like you are unique."

"But in reality, you are nothing more than his slave, understand?"

"Heh, do you know what you are saying?" Qingtian Ye laughed out of extreme anger: "Your behavior is very dangerous. Ever since Great God Jiutun awakened, he has been developing his own doctrine."

"Our Apocalypse Society was born to conform to the times, so do not resist, because resistance is useless."

"Haha, constantly calling Jiutun a Great God, I have never encountered something so amusing." Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "In fact, he is nothing more than a monster who obtained a bit of Divinity by chance."

"And during the upheavals of antiquity, he was sealed for so many years; now he is just a remnant soul of a clone struggling to survive. If he were truly a god, he wouldn't have been beaten to a pulp by me last time."

"What did you say? You have clashed with our Great God? This is impossible. If this were true, you couldn't still be alive." Qingtian Ye was simply stunned; he looked at Chen Yu in disbelief, instinctively feeling that Chen Yu was spouting nonsense.
