Chapter 1752: You Are Very Insecure

"Chen Yu, I swear, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces. I mean what I say." Jiutun stared fixedly at Chen Yu, eyes wide open, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

He felt hatred, and he was also extremely furious.

Yes, he was pathetic, and he was insecure.

In ancient times, he was nothing more than a small demon in the land of Huaxia who was bullied with nowhere to run.

He barely managed to escape to Fusang, where he was worshipped as a god by the uncivilized local fools, enjoying excellent treatment.

But good times did not last; that unavoidable war destroyed everything, and he fell into a deep sleep.

After he awakened, he discovered that he was the only god in this world, and he was initially ecstatic.

But he never dreamed that he would actually be pinned to the ground and rubbed—no, ravaged—by an ordinary human.

"Then I'll wait for you. I'm right here. If you have the guts, come out and let's spar?" Chen Yu laughed. This guy's threats were of no use to Chen Yu; Chen Yu's heart was almost completely calm.

Jiutun's phantom slowly disappeared. He was currently racing against time to recover his Divine Power. Choosing to fight Chen Yu to the death at this moment? His brain wasn't dead yet.

After Jiutun disappeared, Chen Yu's Divine Sense swept across the great hall. In his consciousness, a high-ranking Divine Official was acting sneakily, not knowing what he was doing.

"Come out, why are you hiding?" Chen Yu said indifferently.

Just as Chen Yu's voice fell, a wisp of light smoke suddenly flashed from within the great hall, and this wisp of light smoke streaked toward the outside of the hall at extreme speed.

Chen Yu grabbed at the void with his right hand, brought two fingers together, and slowly closed them. An extremely powerful Primordial Qi suddenly erupted from his body, and immediately after, this Primordial Qi firmly locked the light smoke in place.

The light smoke congealed in mid-air, its blue-purple color appearing as if it had solidified; it looked extremely spectacular.

Chen Yu changed his Dao Formula with his right hand and flicked his palm outward. Hearing only a scream, an Onmyoji wearing a white robe rolled out of the great hall.

This was a person from the Divine Brightness Path. The white robe indicated that his status and position belonged to a Great Divine Official, and the symbol embroidered on his high crown showed that he was at the Great Divine Official level, which meant he was the head figure of the Divine Brightness Path.

That's right, this guy was Matsumoto Masaaki. He had originally wanted to take advantage of Chen Yu's distraction to escape, but he didn't expect Chen Yu to grab him out with a casual gesture, and the feeling was as simple as pinching an ant.

"You are Matsumoto Masaaki?" Upon seeing this guy's attire, Chen Yu instantly guessed his identity.

"That's right, I am Matsumoto Masaaki." Matsumoto Masaaki climbed up from the ground with difficulty, then straightened his clothes, and bowed slightly in a somewhat disheveled manner: "Mr. Chen."

"Oh, it seems you know me." Chen Yu smiled slightly, looking at this guy.

Although the slap just now was not light, Matsumoto Masaaki did not seem to have suffered too serious an injury, and after this guy got up, the first thing he did was straighten his clothes. It seems these guys still pay quite a bit of attention to their image.

"Of course I know. After Mr. Chen arrived in Fusang, your information was already placed on our desks. These past few days, we have also been paying attention to Mr. Chen's movements," Matsumoto Masaaki said.

"Hmm, Jiutun's idea? He let you deal with me?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not exactly." Matsumoto Masaaki smiled awkwardly: "He just let us study your weaknesses and then defeat you."

"Shouldn't his primary demand be to kill me?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not at all. He feels that Mr. Chen's heart is different from ordinary people, and your strength is very strong. If... he devours you, perhaps it could help boost his Cultivation," Matsumoto Masaaki said cautiously.

This guy was good at observing expressions. While he spoke, he watched Chen Yu, keeping his eyes on Chen Yu's expression the whole time.

"Like cures like, is that what he thinks? He feels that devouring a strong person helps his strength recover, and what's more, my Primordial Qi is very strong. Devouring me alone is more effective than him devouring ten thousand people?" Chen Yu asked.

"This... we don't know the true thoughts in Lord Jiutun's heart; we are just executing his mission," Matsumoto Masaaki said.

"Fine, it's all the same anyway." Chen Yu laughed: "You are his lackey, that's true, right? You have his Divine Power on you; this was bestowed upon you by him, right?"

Matsumoto Masaaki didn't speak either, directly giving Chen Yu a tacit admission. He paused for a long time before saying: "Mr. Chen, we are all ordinary people. We resurrected Jiutun just for power."

"When he awakened, he treated us with the attitude of a god, so we are also victims," Matsumoto Masaaki said.

"You're being a bit shameless saying that, aren't you?" Chen Yu was a bit angry: "If it weren't for you resurrecting him, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

"The Divine Brightness Path has existed for hundreds of years, using the name of the Heavenly Dao to resurrect the gods, and only then did you cause such a huge disaster. Do you think this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"It does, of course it does. The culprit of this matter is us." Matsumoto Masaaki said somewhat awkwardly: "But the current situation has clearly exceeded our control."

"Whether it's Jiutun or the so-called bullshit god you worship, which one of them isn't a vicious and evil person?" Chen Yu sneered: "Jiutun's strength is insufficient. If he waits for his power to recover, the one thing they will do is kill everyone who once served him."

"Everything he gives you now is nothing but exploitation."

"I know." A bitter expression appeared on Matsumoto Masaaki's face. Yes, he knew now, but it was already a bit too late.

After all, that guy Jiutun had already grown. If it were when he had just come out, they could have gathered all the power of the Divine Brightness Path, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred, to destroy Jiutun and seize his Original Spirit.

But now that Jiutun had recovered quite a bit of his strength, I'm afraid it's too late to say anything now.

"Regretting it now?" Chen Yu glanced at him: "Too late."

"I know it's too late, so I want to talk to Mr. Chen now." Matsumoto Masaaki raised his head to look at Chen Yu.

"Talk? What is there for us to talk about?" Chen Yu was somewhat baffled.

Yes, what was there for them to talk about? Both sides were hostile forces; when they fought, it was a life-or-death struggle. What were they going to talk about?

"We want to cooperate with Mr. Chen." Matsumoto Masaaki gritted his teeth and still said the idea he had been thinking about.

"We? Cooperate? I say, are you mistaken?" Chen Yu laughed out loud: "You want me dead, and I am also finding ways to destroy your Dao Lineage. We cooperate? Are you kidding me?"

"Mr. Chen, I know that by suddenly bringing this up, you must have doubts in your heart, but I am bringing sincerity." Matsumoto Masaaki said earnestly: "Actually, we have already been forced into a dead end by Jiutun."
