Evil god of the starry sky, a puppet of flesh and blood!
Lord of North City’s Manor.
Council Hall.
Less than half an hour after Jiang Qing and Lin Sheng arrived at the Lord of North City’s Manor, the three top powerhouses of North City united and entered the Council Hall.
“Old Chen, what happened?”
The Martial Artist Alliance Master of North City spoke first, asking the Lord of North City.
“Come and see.” The Lord of North City led the three to the center of the Council Hall, where the scroll Gu Hun had depicted was laid out on a wooden table.
The three walked to the wooden table and looked at the scroll.
As soon as their eyes fell upon it, they noticed the striking central part of the scroll. All three focused their gaze on the decaying flesh monster confronting Jiang Qing.
“Is this a Flesh and Blood God Advent?”
The Association President’s eyes were filled with solemnity. The other two also felt a sinking feeling in their hearts as they looked at the decaying flesh monster.
The God of Flesh and Blood, an evil god of the starry sky worshipped by the Blood God Church, possessed extremely bizarre abilities. Martial Artists below the Martial Saint Realm found it very difficult to contend with it. Qi and blood power were completely ineffective before such an evil god.
Even though they were Martial Dao Thrones who had transcended the mortal Realm, facing a Flesh and Blood God Advent, they were merely lambs to the slaughter. With the slightest carelessness, they would be corrupted by the evil god’s power and turn into flesh Puppets.
“That’s right. This is a glimpse of the future that Old Gu accidentally saw half an hour ago. The scene in the street will appear this evening, right here in our North City.”
The Jiangcheng City Lord said, and as his words fell, the other three’s expressions all grew solemn.
“Summoning a Flesh and Blood God Advent is a major operation. At that time, several Evil Churches will definitely act together, simultaneously attacking Demon Suppression Pass, North City, and all nearby major cities, preventing us from receiving reinforcements in a short period.”
“The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the open. The Evil Church knows our combat power deployment, but we have no idea how many people the Evil Church can send. What’s more, there’s also a Flesh and Blood God Advent appearing.”
“The situation isn’t looking good…”
The Special Affairs Bureau Director spoke, his expression not looking good.
It was already nearing evening. It would be at most an hour and a half before dusk.
In such a short time, reinforcements simply couldn’t arrive.
Summoning a Flesh and Blood God Advent was a major operation, and the Blood God Church must have already conspired with other Evil Churches.
Once the war began, the Evil Churches lurking in several major cities would certainly cause chaos simultaneously. Other major cities would be too busy to help themselves, so they would naturally have no spare capacity to reinforce North City.
Cities further away were too distant from Demon Suppression Pass; by the time they arrived, everything would have already settled.
Now, North City was clearly in an isolated and helpless situation.
“There’s no need to be so pessimistic. Look here.”
The Jiangcheng City Lord pointed to the tall, spear-wielding figure in the image.
The three looked, but the figure they could see was extremely blurry, only barely discernible as a Human Race Martial Artist holding a long spear. Besides that, the most striking feature was the purple electric arcs swirling around the Human Race Martial Artist.
“Could this be… Spirit Lightning?”
The few people reacted, their gazes turning to Jiang Qing.
They knew Lin Sheng inside and out, and recently, they hadn’t heard any news of Lin Sheng acquiring Spirit Lightning.
Clearly, the one possessing the power of Spirit Lightning was Jiang Qing.
When their gazes shifted to Jiang Qing, they suddenly realized that this was the recently renowned Jiang Qing.
Upon entering, their attention had been entirely on the Lord of North City, so they hadn’t carefully observed Jiang Qing, who was standing beside Lin Sheng.
Information about Jiang Qing was already well-known to them. Although they hadn’t seen the Immortal Master in person, upon seeing Jiang Qing’s face now, they knew who Jiang Qing was.
“We have already discussed this. Jiang Qing possesses a Heavenly Spirit Lightning and his own strength can contend with a Martial Venerable, which is sufficient to counter the Flesh and Blood God Advent.”
“We only need to protect Jiang Qing while dealing with the high-level Martial Kings participating from the Evil Church. This way, we can suppress this Evil Church rebellion.”
As the Jiangcheng City Lord’s words fell, the other three all breathed a sigh of relief.
In that case, the situation wasn’t too bad. The most difficult problem, the Flesh and Blood God Advent, was no longer a threat. Even if the Evil Church could send more Martial Kings, the three of them could handle it.
Martial King Cultivators of the same Realm were not difficult to deal with. Those who could serve as high-ranking officials in North City at the border were all battle-hardened elites, Cultivators who had honed their strength to perfection.
Aside from the Evil God Incarnation, even if the Evil Church sent two more Martial Kings than their side, it wouldn’t make it difficult for them to resist.
“Now we need to know where this street is. The battleground between the Flesh and Blood God Advent and Jiang Qing is here, which means the sacrificial Formation is not far from here.”
The Jiangcheng City Lord pointed to the street in the image and said.
Among the four high-ranking officials of North City, the one most familiar with all the streets was undoubtedly the Special Affairs Bureau Director, who was responsible for North City’s public security.
He carefully looked at the painting on the table and quickly recalled its location.
“This is a street near the ‘Ma’ Family, one of the four great Families. The pedestrian traffic is moderate, and the vicinity is mostly residential buildings.”
As the Special Affairs Bureau Director’s words fell, Lin Sheng snorted coldly, “These hateful cult scumbags really know how to pick a spot. The vicinity is all residential buildings, so we can’t set up in advance, and we’ll be constrained once the battle begins.”
“A group of villains who betrayed the Human Race and pledged themselves to an evil god of the starry sky. They aren’t even considered Human, so how could they have humanity?” The Jiangcheng City Lord said, looking at the street with grave eyes.
“The most crucial thing now is whether the Ma Family has already defected. Only with the Ma Family’s deliberate deception could the Formation for sacrificing to the Evil God be completed without our knowledge.”
“If Old Gu didn’t have the ability to foresee, once they summoned the Flesh and Blood God Advent, the three of us would be powerless to contend with it. The result would be North City becoming a living hell, and that Blood God would use the flesh and blood of North City’s common people to summon its true body!”
As the Jiangcheng City Lord’s words fell, everyone fell silent.
“There’s a high possibility of this. We must guard against it.”
“In the image, many people have already been corrupted by the God of Flesh and Blood, turning into its flesh Puppets. It’s highly probable that they are members of the Ma Family, whose minds were already taken over by the God of Flesh and Blood and turned into Puppets before this.”
The Civilization Teacher Association Branch Master said.
After some discussion, the few people decided on a combat plan targeting the Ma Family, assuming they had already become flesh Puppets, and would remain vigilant against the Ma Family when the great battle began.
Afterward, the four each took out a life-saving item and gave it to Jiang Qing, to ensure that Jiang Qing would not encounter any accidents during the battle.
It was already their incompetence to involve Jiang Qing, a college freshman, in this great battle. If anything happened to Jiang Qing, they would not only be unable to explain to Yang Yi, but they would also have no face to continue living.
Cultivating the Martial Dao until now, they had always been the ones protecting the younger generation. This was the first time they needed to rely on the younger generation to resolve a crisis.
