183: Chapter 183: Red Lotus is Considered a Sacred Artifact

“I’ll go! This is solid proof! The Red Coat Sect truly are thieves, and this Holy Son even tried to steal someone else’s artifact!” The Holy Envoys’ conviction grew stronger; it was clear the Red Coat Sect had plagiarized others’ doctrines.

“How is this stealing? This is clearly blatant robbery! The Red Coat Sect is indeed no good!” The rebel Holy Envoys observing from the side had already reached their conclusion.

“A bunch of rabble, daring to openly slander the Holy Sect’s Holy Son, truly not worth pitying even in death!” the Holy Son said fiercely.

“Hmph! Only my Red Lotus Sect can be called a Holy Sect. Are you worthy?” Qu Zhengping said, setting the rhythm as he conversed with the Holy Son.

“Ignorance is bliss! Then let me show you the power of the Holy Sect!”

With that, the Holy Son placed his left hand, palm open, on his chest, extended two fingers of his right hand onto his left palm, and began to chant:

“Amabori Kuosa, Husa Ke Buo Niu Lie! Amabori Kuosa, Husa Ke Buo Niu Lie!…”

The 18 Guardians looked at each other, not knowing what gibberish this Holy Son was muttering.

“Hasek!” Suddenly, the Holy Son pointed his two fingers forward, and an anomaly occurred.

The ground vibrated violently, and a gigantic beetle burst out from underground.

How big was it? Its body was at least ten meters long and over two meters tall.

Its body was dark brown.

The carapace on its back was composed of blue and brown, adorned with some white spots. The pattern was like a painting of stars scattered across the night sky. Of course, no one was in the mood to appreciate this painting.

The people around felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this colossal beetle.

Its carapace was shiny and reflected the red light emitted by the Red Lotus.

With a single leap, the Holy Son flew onto the beetle’s back.

“Lu Ha!” The Holy Son pointed forward.

Although the surrounding people didn’t know what he was saying, they could guess that he was commanding the large beetle to charge forward.

The 18 Guardians looked at each other, not showing any concern at all.

“Isn’t this a coincidence? Isn’t this walking right into a trap? If you were flying in the sky, attacking the Red Lotus aircraft, then we’d have to go through some trouble. But you conjured a beetle; isn’t this clearly delivering food to us?” This was the true thought of the Guardians.

Their standing position was perfectly within the 200-meter range; even if they stood still, this beetle probably couldn’t harm them.

So they nodded to each other, reaching a tacit understanding.

This show-off was doomed.

Traveling a thousand miles to deliver a head, a very well-delivered gift.

The Holy Son had already ordered the beetle to charge, but the 18 people standing in front of it showed no reaction at all. This was illogical, wasn’t it?

The Holy Son suddenly had an ominous premonition.

But he also wasn’t clear what the other party’s reliance was.

The arrow was on the string, and it had to be shot.

No matter what the other party’s reliance was, he would never retreat. If he retreated, the Holy Envoys watching from around would definitely turn to the Red Lotus Sect without hesitation. This was something he absolutely would not allow.

Soon, the beetle came within the 200-meter range. The crystals scattered on the ground clearly marked this boundary.

“Screech~!”

As soon as it stepped into the 200-meter boundary, the beetle began to emit a sharp, ear-piercing scream.

Its body trembled violently, and the Holy Son, unable to stand steadily, quickly leaped up and jumped backward.

This sudden scene startled him greatly.

The beetle was now rolling on the ground, and everyone could see that it had been stimulated by something and would not live much longer.

Within one minute, this large beetle, over 10 meters long, had completely flipped over, belly up, lying motionless on the ground.

Why wasn’t the beetle completely decomposed by the nanobots?

Because decomposing this giant consumes too much energy, and there was no crystals to gain. So the Bee Queen only destroyed its nervous system.

“Pfft~” The Holy Son spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

It must have been the beetle’s death that affected him.

“Hiss~!” Everyone collectively drew a sharp breath.

“What happened? How did this big bug just die?”

Everyone was confused.

They all looked up at the sky, realizing that it was the red light emitted by this Red Lotus that had killed it.

What they didn’t know was that the beetle’s death had nothing to do with the red light. But what was to be created was precisely this kind of mysterious, bizarre, and powerful effect.

It took a while for the Holy Son to snap out of his daze, and he also looked up at the sky.

“Divine artifact! I didn’t expect this to really be a divine artifact! This Red Lotus must be seized!” The Holy Son’s greed arose.

But he knew that the beetle he had raised was dead, and he was injured because of it. At this moment, if he wanted to seize the Red Lotus from the other party’s hands, he had to find a way.

“All Holy Envoys, listen to my command, release the red curtain to block the red light!” the Holy Son commanded loudly.

Well, it must be said that the Holy Son had a good mind. But unfortunately, he got the direction wrong.

Upon hearing the command, the Holy Envoys appeared one after another, conjured red curtains, and flew towards the Red Lotus.

Under the cover of the red curtains, the red light indeed weakened significantly.

“Command the zombies to attack!” the Holy Son issued another command.

The 18 Guardians stood there motionless, completely disregarding the other party’s plan.
