Chapter 1731: Safe and Sound

The boat captain steered the boat out, and the vessel entered a safe stretch of sea.

Chen Yu's hanging heart settled slightly; once out of the plane space, it would be much safer.

The reason Chen Yu's heart was hanging was because matters of planes are truly hard to explain clearly; one moment of carelessness, and you could potentially stumble into other worlds. This was nothing to joke about.

Someone like Chen Yu is better off, but for ordinary people who stumble into other planes, they will face nine deaths and one life.

The journey out was full of surprises but no danger; for the days to come, Chen Yu would wait for Tang Xue's news.

Although deep in his heart Chen Yu did not want her to continue taking risks at all, Tang Xue's stubbornness left him with no choice.

This woman who turned love into hate really goes all out when she plays with her life.

In the deep mountains, inside that same imitation Shrine, Jiutun's expression appeared increasingly gloomy.

Qiu Mingtai and Yamamoto Shangming were still standing respectfully below the platform, though both of their expressions were rather ugly.

Furthermore, there was some panic, because the task of recruiting new members was not going very smoothly, and the results the two had turned in over these past few days made Jiutun very dissatisfied.

This moody fellow was extremely angry, and the consequences after he got angry were very serious, so heaven knows what kind of things might happen?

"Is this the return you give me? I expended such powerful Divine Power to help you grow, and you only recruited these few believers for me?"

Jiutun raised his head, red light flickering in his eyes, which represented that he was extremely angry right now.

Yes, for the sake of the Divine Dao, he had also paid a great price; he had just awakened, yet he had expended a large amount of Divine Power to help them become stronger and establish the Apocalypse Society.

He did it to absorb more believers and allow himself to possess more Faith Power, but now he discovered that his investment was not proportional to what he received; these pieces of trash had not given him what he wanted at all.

"Master..." Qiu Mingtai steadied himself, stepped forward, and said with difficulty: "We have tried our best, but the current situation has changed somewhat; previously, half of our Red-robed Archbishops were beheaded by Chen Yu."

"Moreover, he has resolved matters for many believers, so now these believers do not trust us; simply displaying divine miracles is no longer enough to convince them."

"Indeed." Yamamoto Shangming also sighed and said: "Those foolish people had already been brainwashed by us."

"But because of Chen Yu's appearance, they have now undergone a huge change; they are more willing to believe that Chen Yu can resolve their suffering than to believe in us."

"Chen Yu... it's him again." Jiutun was furious; he stood up abruptly, his aura changing suddenly.

The pressure inside the great hall doubled in this instant; Yamamoto Shangming and Qiu Mingtai's faces turned bright red as they resisted the powerful pressure coming from Jiutun.

"You pieces of trash, can a mere Chen Yu force you to this point? I don't care what method you use, within one week, bring the number of believers to a certain scale, otherwise, I will replace you at any time."

Jiutun finished venting his anger and waved his right hand; the two men's figures flew outward involuntarily, and with two thuds, they fell one after another outside the great hall.

After a long while, the two stood up panting; they looked at each other, their eyes full of panic.

Because they could see that Jiutun had no patience left; after all, the Apocalypse Society had been established for so long, but the effect it had achieved was mediocre.

What he needed now was Faith Power to enhance his own strength and allow his own power to slowly recover.

At the very beginning, it had achieved a little success, but with Chen Yu's intervention, their way of fooling people seemed to no longer work.

"Qiu Ming-jun... what do we do next?" After climbing up, Yamamoto Shangming asked with worry.

"Let's go down first and talk." Qiu Mingtai gave a look, signaling that this place was too close to the great hall.

Yamamoto Shangming understood immediately; being outside the great hall, their conversation was highly likely to be heard by Jiutun.

This grandson was currently in a state of mania; if he happened to hear anything he didn't like, he would very likely just finish the two of them off directly, so it was better to keep whatever matters they needed to discuss hidden from him.

The two arrived at a temple at the foot of the mountain and sat down.

"The current situation is not optimistic for us; I have already had the believers under my name spread our doctrine as much as possible, but the effect received is minimal."

Qiu Mingtai said helplessly: "People now are not as easy to fool as before; they are more willing to believe in those who can help them."

"All of this was ruined by Chen Yu." Yamamoto Shangming struck the table heavily with his fist and said hatefully: "If it weren't for him, what would that group of foolish people know? They would still be in the palm of our hands."

"The only way now is to have Jiutun display his Divine Power once; that way, it will be more convincing." Qiu Mingtai mused: "After all, what most people want is not just peace of mind, but the ability to truly resolve their own predicaments."

"Given the Master's current situation, do you think he still has the ability to display Divine Power?" Yamamoto Shangming's face was somewhat dark: "After he awakened, his Divine Power could not be gathered at all."

"And he..." At this point, Yamamoto Zhengming lowered his voice and said with an annoyed face: "He himself is just a greedy fellow; the Divine Power he condenses is all used for other things; how could he possibly expend power to help some unimportant people."

"Indeed, so the problem we are facing now is very serious." Qiu Mingtai sighed and said: "I really don't know what he is thinking; even if he just appeared once and saved a few people, someone would trust him immediately."

"What's more, he is a god; it's just a mere Chen Yu; he only needs to make a move, and he could resolve the matter, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move to resolve things."

"Is there a possibility." Yamamoto Shangming lowered his voice: "That he... simply doesn't have the ability to resolve Chen Yu right now."

Qiu Mingtai was startled; he hurriedly looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "You think so too?"

"Could it be that you also think so?" A glimmer of sharpness flashed in Yamamoto Shangming's eyes.

"Yes, according to the Master's temper, if he really had the ability to resolve Chen Yu, he definitely wouldn't let Chen Yu sit back and grow, especially since Chen Yu's actions now have already threatened his status; how could he possibly ignore it?"

Qiu Mingtai analyzed: "So, there is only one possibility for the current situation, and that is that our Master does not have the ability to resolve Chen Yu; his strength and Chen Yu's are evenly matched."
