Chapter 981: 635
Just in time....
Li Changhe found the information revealed by the Three Corpses God somewhat strange. The Three Corpses God knew what threatened him on the mute girl and also knew that the current mute girl posed no threat to him... at least not for now.
"So, does this mean that the key will evolve or grow over time until it reaches a point where it can threaten the Three Corpses God?" Li Changhe pondered, while the other golden giants also uttered their seductive words.
"Hand over that Taoist lass, and I’ll let you leave!"
"Kill her, and I will not only let you go. You will also receive the Ghost Valley Inheritance! This is a great opportunity!"
"Do you really think you can withstand my legions?"
"This is my final act of mercy."
"Do you truly believe these mortals’ weapons can withstand my tens of thousands of Taoist Soldiers?"
"Hahaha...."
The golden giants laughed boisterously as they fought against the Earth Level Extraordinary, their voices echoing back and forth across the wilderness.
Rather than saying they had come to attack the old temple, they seemed more like they were there specifically to say these things.
Whether effective or not, these words would embed themselves like seeds in the hearts of everyone present.
Either face the Three Corpses God and his legions or abandon the mute girl and live.
Of course, the latter would still depend on the Three Corpses God keeping his word. Any rational person wouldn’t be troubled by this choice.
But in the face of despair, human nature becomes extremely complex.
As long as the association could bear the pressure, they naturally indicated they would fight to the end.
But when it really came to the end of their resources, who could guarantee that no one would choose the latter?
In Li Changhe’s history line, the association probably faced such situations too. Doubt, betrayal, isolation... and ultimately destruction. It’s hard to imagine the pain they must have gone through back then.
But now, the association’s side is completely dominated by Li Kun’s say. Psychological warfare is of little use.
Most here are his disciples and grand-disciples. Naturally, they follow his orders.
And the mute girl is his adopted daughter, Ghost Hand... although he doesn’t want to admit it, is also his son-in-law.
As long as he and Ghost Hand are alive, who would lay a finger on the mute girl?
Who dares to touch the mute girl?
Anyone with such thoughts might as well plan their own death date.
"Such strategies of the heart, senior, please save your effort. There’s only one voice in our team, and that is my voice," Li Kun said calmly, waving one hand, from which a thick lightning snake roared out from the loose sleeve of his Taoist robe, instantly turning a golden giant into charcoal.
Li Kun extended his other hand and grabbed the now charred golden bean.
The remaining golden Taoist Soldiers retreated while shouting, "Well done, Li Kun, you’re only a step away from becoming a Celestial. With my Ghost Valley Inheritance, your ascension to Celestial is imminent. I look forward to your choice!"
"There’s no need to wait, I have made my choice," Li Kun smiled faintly: "That is to take you down."
"Hehe, I hope you can still be so confident once you know the truth," the golden giant had already backed off quite a distance, soon about to return to the woods.
Just then, a deep voice sounded.
"Stop!"
Just two short words, yet they carried immense authority, as if a monarch was issuing his sacred decree.
For some reason, the Golden Armored Giant’s body really came to a halt.
No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t escape this state.
"Another Celestial technique? You little..." The Golden Armored Giant didn’t finish his question.
Before he could, Qiu Wentian, who had caught up to him, cleaved him in two with her sword. He changed back into a broken bean.
"Little your head!" Qiu Wentian roared in anger, "I’m such a beautiful woman, are you blind? Huh!"
Enraged, she picked up the iron sword and smashed the bean into dust.
Indeed, she was concerned about this. That’s why even in her choice of player equipment, she would wear outfits that clearly marked her as female. Ostensibly to showcase her figure, but in reality, it was because she feared being mistaken for a man.
As a result, the Three Corpses God even called her a lad. Now she had a score to settle, and she’d probably need to whip his corpse even after his death.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, the Taoist Soldiers were quickly assembling into a battle formation but did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, they formed some sort of Array.
During this time, everyone quickly returned inside the Defensive Array to discuss tactics.
Li Changhe stepped forward and dragged the still furious Qiu Wentian back, narrowly avoiding an elbow from her.
...
Inside the room, Earth Level Transcendents and players gathered together.
"We can’t delay; we must find his location immediately," the Fish Pond Master spoke up first: "Going head-to-head with such a large army will only result in our defeat. We don’t have many rockets left, and once our weapons are exhausted, we’ll have no choice but to slug it out with the army."
"That’s right, but how are we going to find him?" Sword in Wine asked.
"I’ve already got a lead on that," Li Kun said as he pulled out a charred bean and a compass, "As I was destroying the Taoist Soldiers just now, I captured the Qi of the Three Corpses God. Although it dissipated quickly, I used a magical instrument to find his approximate location."
The compass Li Kun mentioned was the magical artifact he was talking about.
It was actually a specially-made magical artifact within the association for tracking down Transcendents who engaged in misdeeds.
Placing any object containing Qi on top of the compass, one could locate the source of Qi within a certain range.
Just now, the compass pointed towards about ten degrees northeast.
The area it indicated within the Array was a not-so-tall mountain range.
"His movement is slow, so it’s unlikely he’ll go somewhere too troublesome. There’s a good chance he’s at the foot of the mountain. However, there might be an Array concealing him," the Fish Pond Master said. "Now that we’ve determined the location, let’s consider how to split up the teams and how to evade the Three Corpses God and the Taoist Soldiers’ notice. We can’t just kill our way through, can we?"
"Avoiding regular Taoist Soldiers isn’t difficult. I brought some magical instruments that can hide our presence. They are, after all, deployed using a magical skill through magical treasures, lacking any real intelligence aside from following orders," Jiang Shenchui said as he took out several relatively intact golden beans, "I’ve already researched it. Although it’s difficult to replicate the intricacies within, this point is certainly correct. The problem is the golden giants you guys just destroyed, which were obviously controlled by the Three Corpses God himself. Normal methods might not be effective."
"Hmph, leave it to me; I also have Celestial techniques," Qiu Wentian was still fuming, "My Celestial technique can force an action upon him, as you all just saw. So, count me in for the strike team. I want to twist off his head myself!"
This was the Divinity Qiu Wentian had mentioned before, the strength left to her by the Emperor.
Royal Power Divinity, when Qiu Wentian used this divinity, every word she spoke would be compelled upon the other party.
Of course, depending on the strength of the opponent, the effect of the divinity would vary. But it posed no problem at all for the Golden Armored Giant.
(Don’t rush, everyone... the story must flow naturally. We can’t just throw a knife in front of the boss and end it all with one cut, can we?)
