226: PUA master, Song Zhong!

"Ye Fan, there's no need for you to worry."

Just as everyone was fretting over how to return to Great Xia, the followers of the New Ancient God Church spoke again.

"Besides, Anta County is the Holy Land of my New Ancient God Church. My Lord will naturally lead his followers home."

Ye Fan's face darkened, and an indescribable, strange feeling lingered in his heart.

Home?

If Song Zhong really took Anta County back, wouldn't that mean the New Ancient God Church saved all the Night Watchers?

What would that be?

Not only himself, but every single Night Watcher present today would owe him an immense favor.

If they met again in the future...

Ye Fan dared not continue thinking, as more and more bizarre images appeared in his mind.

Ye Fan was not the only one who thought of this, so the Night Watchers collectively chose silence.

"Oh? What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and call your boss over."

The Night Watchers had many things to consider, but Memorial had fewer scruples.

The followers of the New Ancient God Church nodded.

The representative gathered the more than 200 surviving followers in an open space.

Then they formed a huge circle.

The followers sat cross-legged on the ground, closing their eyes.

"Praise my Lord, your faithful servant, with the most devout belief, begs you to lead the lost travelers home..."

"Praise my Lord, your faithful servant, with the most devout belief, begs you to lead the lost travelers home..."

...

A simple prayer was constantly repeated in the mouths of the followers.

Everyone had their own rhythm, and to outsiders, the ceremony sounded as noisy as a bustling market.

Memorial frowned, "Does it really work? Why does this New Ancient God Church feel like a makeshift organization?"

"Uh!" Shen Qingzhu explained, "The organization that Song Zhong established actually has no strict constraints. Strictly speaking, a few of us are also members of this New Ancient God Church."

"Oh?" Memorial immediately became interested, "But looking at you, you probably don't truly believe in that Song Zhong, do you?"

Shen Qingzhu nodded, "He doesn't seem to care whether people truly believe in him."

"Ah?"

This surprised Memorial, "Then I can confirm it, this New Ancient God Church is indeed a makeshift organization.

If I can meet him later, I'll have to teach him a good lesson. As the leader of an organization, he can't be so casual."

Ye Fan sighed helplessly, "Memorial, I called you here to help, not to cause trouble."

Memorial pouted, "Mysterious was killed for you, and the people were brought out for you. I've done all the favors you asked of me."

Just as the few of them were talking, an anomaly suddenly occurred in the hazy sky.

A red mist was particularly conspicuous in the hazy sky.

Within that red mist, a blood-red staircase extended downwards.

A figure walked out from within the red mist.

"It's my Lord!"

"My Lord has come."

"He's here to take us home!"

"Great, it's my Lord, we're saved!"

...

In the lonely Anta County, the joyful laughter of the followers resonated.

Song Zhong walked out from within the red mist.

"You have done well. Now, I will take you home."

Song Zhong looked calmly at the followers and Night Watchers below, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Whirlpool looked at Song Zhong, who was high above, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Captain, do you think we still have a chance to get even?"

Before Wang Mian could speak, rose hit him on the head with a sharp tap.

"When you become a god in the future, you'll be able to get even."

Whirlpool covered his head, feeling incredibly wronged, "How can I become a god? Am I supposed to go to the New Ancient God Church to study and exchange ideas?"

Becoming a god as a Mortal, Song Zhong is currently the only example.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.

Zhou Ping thought to himself silently:

Go to the New Ancient God Church to study and exchange ideas? It's really worth a try.

But I must never let Ye Fan know. If he knew, he would definitely go to my third uncle and tell on me.

Shen Qingzhu looked at Song Zhong, his emotions complex.

He carefully recalled his performance from entering the Training Camp until now.

His growth speed was too slow.

What was the purpose of him becoming a Night Watcher?

Wasn't it to prevent the weak from being bullied and to eliminate so many senseless deaths in the world?

His mind involuntarily recalled what Song Zhong had once said to him.

"If you hope fewer people die, then your goal should be to become strong."

"Because humans, this animal, always hope to have strong people to lead them."

Shen Qingzhu's thoughts drifted, and soon he recalled the scene of Song Zhong taking him to the dilapidated church.

"Shen Qingzhu, how does it feel to sit on the throne?"

"Shen Qingzhu, you are still too weak."

"Shen Qingzhu, are you willing to let me be your guide?"

...

"Lin Qi Ye, Lin Qi Ye?"

Lin Qi Ye's shout pulled Shen Qingzhu back from his thoughts.

"Lin Qi Ye, what's wrong?" Shen Qingzhu's expression was a little tense. His recent thoughts should absolutely not have appeared in a Night Watcher's mind.

"I see your face looks a bit off," Lin Qi Ye asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just too tired," Shen Qingzhu's voice was a bit weak.

Lin Qi Ye knew he was worried about Bai Li Pang Pang, so he didn't say anything more.

"Get some good rest when we go back," Lin Qi Ye said.

"Look, Song Zhong is walking this way," An Qingyu reminded.

Everyone's gaze focused on Song Zhong.

Seeing Song Zhong walking towards them, Ye Fan straightened his clothes and took a step forward.

"Hello, I am Commander Ye, of the Great Xia Night Watchers."

Song Zhong nodded gently, "Venerable Ye Fan, I have long heard of your great name."

Seeing Song Zhong's surprisingly calm attitude, Ye Fan felt a slight sense of relief.

The other party's attitude was much better than he had imagined.

Ye Fan had even thought that perhaps the first thing Song Zhong would do upon arriving here would be to attack the Night Watchers.

However, Song Zhong's next words made the relieved Ye Fan tense up again.

"Your Great Xia Night Watchers actually lost your own territory.

Ye Fan, I want to ask you, when you hear others call you Commander,

do you feel ashamed?"

"Shut up!"

"You cult leader, how dare you speak disrespectfully to our Commander."

Song Zhong's words were very hurtful, and even more insulting.

So much so that the Night Watchers behind Ye Fan simply couldn't accept it emotionally.

"Song Zhong, that remark of yours is a bit much. The Night Watchers were just shedding blood and sacrificing themselves to protect Anta County," Wang Mian said.

"Oh?" Song Zhong looked at Ye Fan with a chuckle, "Commander Ye, did you hear that? These innocent Night Watchers still have to pay for your dereliction of duty.

Those young lives are truly regrettable."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression finally changed.

Song Zhong watched the changes in Ye Fan's expression, a smile appearing on his face.

His PUA method was working.
