Chapter 140: Ancient Evil God scroll?

After a long while, Bai Shiqi finally calmed down. “Let’s properly introduce ourselves. I am Bai Shiqi of the Bai Family from Dengfeng Dojo.”

“Wu Xian, courtesy name Gongming,” Wu Xian replied with a light chuckle.

Bai Shiqi looked at Lord of the Sun Star beside Wu Xian, and the more he looked, the more astonished he became.

For some reason, the more he looked, the more he felt that this gold scroll painting spirit was extraordinary. Whether it was its naturally perfect divine charm or its unique and powerful Qi, it made him feel a sense of inadequacy in his own scroll Master level.

Even the top-tier scrolls of his Family elders had never given him this feeling.

His mouth hung open for a long time, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Wu Xian, on the other hand, looked calm, curiously examining the dog-headed painting spirit beside him. “Brother Bai, this gold scroll is quite something, isn’t it? What’s its name?”

“Desert God of Death,” Bai Shiqi said. “A God of Death from an ancient desert kingdom.”

“Oh, oh, no wonder its Qi is so powerful.”

Wu Xian nodded in realization, his mind already full of complaints.

He now strongly suspected that Dengfeng Dojo also had another scroll named [Desert Butcher].

“...” Bai Shiqi gave an awkward smile. “Still, Brother Wu Xian’s gold scroll is even more astonishing.”

Born into a prestigious Family, he had always been arrogant, but in front of Wu Xian, he couldn’t bring himself to be “arrogant” at all, even feeling a little inferior.

“Heh~ My kind of unconventional path is just small-time,” Wu Xian waved his hand and chuckled. “How can it compare to a Dojo-level Legacy like Young Master Bai’s?”

Bai Shiqi gave a stiff smile. “Speaking of which, what is the name of Brother Wu’s gold scroll?”

“Lord of the Sun Star.”

“Mao Ri... Xing Jun (Pleiades Star Lord)...?”

Bai Shiqi murmured softly, pondering in secret.

Although he didn't understand the concepts of “Mao Ri” and “Xing Jun (Pleiades Star Lord),” these two words together had a mysterious sense of nobility, full of prestige.

“Brother Bai, why are you in a place like the Shantytown?” Wu Xian asked, his curiosity tinged with a hint of oddity.

At least in his opinion, it was unlikely for a Young Master like Bai Shiqi to normally come to a dilapidated place like the Shantytown.

Hearing this, a trace of awkwardness flashed in Bai Shiqi’s eyes. “Now that Yaoyang City is in distress, I, Bai, naturally cannot stand idly by. In the process of pursuing, I arrived here.”

“Oh, oh,” Wu Xian nodded. “Brother Bai, you came to a small place like ours, presumably for the Heretical Scroll Master, right?”

Bai Shiqi neither confirmed nor denied, as there was nothing to hide.

“I just didn’t expect a villain like Hong Xiao to have fled to the lower city. No wonder there hasn’t been any news of him all these years.”

“Hong Xiao?” Wu Xian’s eyes lit up slightly. “Brother Bai knows that villain?”

“Of course,” Bai Shiqi said without hesitation. “This person is the youngest major criminal on the bounty list, and also the Evil God Scroll Master most valued by the various Dojos over the years.”

“The youngest major criminal?” Wu Xian asked curiously. “What is so special about this person?”

Bai Shiqi pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, “On one hand, it’s because he’s young and has a lot of room for growth. On the other hand, it’s because this person’s Evil God scroll is quite special.”

“Oh?”

“Has Brother Wu ever heard of Ancient Scroll?” Bai Shiqi asked in return.

Hearing this, Wu Xian’s heart skipped a beat. “Are you saying that this person’s Evil God scroll is the legendary Ancient Scroll?”

Bai Shiqi nodded gravely. “Although it’s only speculation from various parties and cannot be fully confirmed, from the information gathered over the years, Hong Xiao is likely an Evil God Scroll Master who possesses an Ancient Scroll.”

“Hiss~!”

Wu Xian took a deep breath, secretly clicking his tongue.

He hadn't expected that there were Ancient Scroll Masters even among the Evil God Scroll Master group.

Based on his current understanding of Ancient Scroll, anyone who could create an Ancient Evil God scroll was absolutely an inherently evil individual.

“There are probably still many hidden Servants of the Evil God within Yaoyang City. Why don’t you and I act together?” Bai Shiqi suggested.

Wu Xian readily agreed and proceeded with Bai Shiqi through the skies above Yaoyang City.

“Brother Bai, do you know anything about his Evil God scroll?” Wu Xian continued to inquire.

“Not much,” Bai Shiqi said, treading on a peculiar leaf, his speed not slow. “It seems to be called [Evil Insect God Mother]. The scroll itself is extremely powerful. What those Servants have are likely just the lower-ranking offspring of the Evil Insect God Mother.”

Wu Xian understood. No wonder they were so easily defeated; he hadn't even encountered the main culprit yet.

But as long as it was an insect-type Evil God, whether it was a God Mother or not, using Lord of the Sun Star to deal with it was definitely fine.

In a word, just do it!

Subsequently, during the process of searching for Servants of the Evil God in the skies above Yaoyang City, Bai Shiqi was once again overwhelmingly shocked by the power of Lord of the Sun Star.

Good heavens, with one roar, large areas of evil insect infection were instantly cleared, and Hong Xiao’s Servants of the Evil God had nowhere to hide.

It was completely a one-sided slaughter.

Holding the [Desert God of Death], he was like someone just running errands.

It wasn’t that he wanted to run errands, but rather that there was no opportunity for him to intervene.

“Brother Wu, did you really conceive these scrolls by yourself?” Bai Shiqi finally voiced the doubt in his heart.

“Otherwise?” Wu Xian appeared very calm.

“...” Bai Shiqi was speechless. “I wonder if Brother Wu would be interested in developing at our Dengfeng Dojo? Don’t worry, our Dengfeng Dojo will definitely give you, Brother Wu, the best resources and the best training.”

Wu Xian shook his head and chuckled.

Are you kidding? He didn’t even want to go to the Undead Dojo, so naturally, it was impossible for him to go to any Dengfeng Dojo.

As for training, did he need training?

...In a certain cave outside the Advanced defense line of the Insect Race Dimension.

A young man in his thirties with an evil face had an ominous insect-type divine scroll above his head.

Within the divine scroll, strange Law Veins crisscrossed like worm, constantly surging.

This person was the infamous Hong Xiao.

The Lord-level monster material from yesterday had brought him a significant improvement, and it was a good opportunity to harvest a batch of prey from Yaoyang City.

However, the situation seemed to be different from what he had expected.

“What’s going on? Not much spiritual substance has been collected, and why are even those hidden Servants starting to be exposed?”

Feeling the continuous deaths of his Servants, Hong Xiao’s expression flickered between dark and light.

This made him recall the rooster cavalry camp of the Yaoyang City military when he made his move yesterday. That rooster-like painting spirit was very strange, actually making him feel a fear that originated from the depths of his Soul.

If not for that, he would have surely devoured all the people present at that time.

“Hiss~ Why is another one dead?”

“They can’t all be rooted out, can they?”

“Damn it, what exactly is going on in Yaoyang City?”

Watching his painstakingly recruited Servants about to be wiped out, Hong Xiao’s face was astonished and twisted.

Combined with the recent frantic expansion of Yaoyang City’s dimensional defense line, he realized that something must have happened in Yaoyang City recently.

But he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

How could such a small, lower-tier city suddenly rise up?

“Could it be that the various Dojos have intervened? That shouldn’t be. Didn’t the Evil God say...” Hong Xiao’s face flickered between dark and light. “Could it be that Lord Evil God tricked us all?”

Hong Xiao was utterly perplexed, having a vague bad premonition, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

Seeing his Servants about to be completely annihilated, Hong Xiao grew increasingly agitated and decided to personally investigate to find out the truth.

He conjured a blood-colored Fate Mark scroll emanating evil Qi from thin air, with five streams of Fate Mark flowing around its blood-colored axis.

With a slight movement of his mind, the blood-colored Fate Mark scroll infused into his body, and his mind merged with the divine scroll above his head... Meanwhile, Yaoyang City, under the illumination of Lord of the Sun Star’s radiance, was rapidly recovering from the evil insect disaster.

More than ten evil insect Servants were forcefully rooted out by Lord of the Sun Star, and in the process, two Servants of other Evil Gods were also incidentally found, which could be considered an unexpected gain.

“Found it,” Wu Xian’s side once again locked onto the Qi of an Evil God Servant. “This should be the last one!”
