Chapter 394: Chapter 184: People from Jiang Country_1

The rain persisted incessantly.

In the broad streets of Fei Huang City.

Wearing a raincoat, Wang Wenqi suddenly maneuvered into an alleyway.

Her pace suddenly quickened, splashing water all over the ground.

Behind her, a man clad in black robes appeared with a mocking smile on his face, "Remnant of Jiang Country, where do you think you’re running to!"

The man dressed in black swiftly moved to capture Wang Wenqi.

At that moment, an elderly figure in a Confucian robe intervened.

Suddenly, the alley was filled with brilliant light, stopping the black-robed man’s attack in its tracks.

The man in the black robe halted, surprise in his eyes, "A member of the Teaching of Wushi?"

The elderly man in Confucian robes looked at him, a sigh in his eyes, "You are a member of the Lin royal family, why do you serve the Evil God?"

"Finest birds choose the best trees to perch on; I have simply made a better choice." The man in black robes did not engage further, his voice laden with depth.

"Allying with the Evil God is akin to asking a tiger for its skin.

The Evil God will gradually influence you all, you will only become its true puppets!" The elderly man warned sternly.

Many countries in the northern lands are now occupied by the Evil God, with a history stretching back years.

Most citizens of those countries are not true citizens but have become real puppets to the Evil God.

Believers from The Teaching of Wushi once infiltrated these occupied cities and saw horrifying sights.

The people there seemed no different from ordinary folks, working during the day and resting at night.

But every individual exhibited the same expression, the same routine, and never initiated any conversation.

The children did not cry, the dogs did not bark - it was eerily disturbing.

Why did the elderly man in Confucian robes and others resist the new gods so fiercely?

A large part of it was due to these strange happenings.

As for the ritual contributions of children every month, to some elites, it was... of no consequence.

The black-robed man heard all this, displaying neither sorrow nor joy, "The Great God has already promised us, those of us who pledged loyalty first, we can retain control of our own consciousness.

Your strength is considerable... perhaps you would like to join our ranks too, the Great God will welcome you."

"You..." The elderly Confucian robe-wearing man seethed with rage, "So as long as you can control your own consciousness, you don’t care about others?"

"Those others are weak, they don’t even have the qualifications to serve the Great God, they cannot control themselves merely because they are too weak." A smile leaked out from the black-robed man’s usually expressionless face.

"That is no justification for your complicity in their tyranny!" The Confucian robed elder retaliated furiously.

The black-robed man noticed something, "Reinforcements have arrived? I will spare your lives for now."

The black-robed man disappeared as soon as he finished talking.

Several breaths later, six or seven people arrived in the area.

The two leading them were Huang Mengying and Nangong Wuji.

Looking at Huang Mengying and others, Wang Wenqi who was wearing the raincoat earlier, showed a grateful look in her eyes, "Thank you for saving me, Sister Mengying."

Huang Mengying looked at Wang Wenqi, her eyes full of complexity, "You should stay indoors for the time being."

Wang Wenqi bit her lip and said, "I never thought the minions of the Evil God would find me here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present tightened their hearts.

Just a moment ago, the elderly man in the Confucian robe had sent a message that Wang Wenqi was attacked by a member of the Lin royal family.

"The defeat of Jiang Country and the devastation of its capital... has terrified many." Huang Mengying’s voice was laced with deep helplessness.

Evil God who had fully mastered sky stepping descended upon the capital of Jiang Country.

The ancient god who guardians Jiang Country swore to resist the Evil God to the death.

Reportedly, this angered the Evil God.

After the Evil God slew the ancient god of Jiang Country, it eradicated the capital city leaving nothing but flat land.

Of the six million people living in the capital of Jiang Country, none survived.

This incident terrified many.

The upper echelons of Lin Country trembled in fear.

A lump formed in Wang Wenqi’s throat as she heard this, her tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

Huang Mengying hastily said, "I’m sorry, sister Wenqi, I didn’t mean to remind you of your sorrows."

Wang Wenqi hails from Jiang Country, and Huang Mengying knew that Wenqi’s relatives and family resided in the capital of Jiang Country, now devastated by the Evil God.

Only because she had to travel to Fei Huang City for some matters did she manage to escape the horrors.

Wang Wenqi covered her face with her sleeves and quickly asked, her voice edged with resentment, "Did Origin Venerable truly alliance with the new god?"

Huang Mengying couldn’t help but recall the handsome and rugged young man she had seen at the feast that day.

That man, an ancient god, disregarded the Evil God.

A few days ago, he had attacked and killed several gods of the Violent Wind Town. Indeed, it stunned them.

After all, even Nangong Wuji couldn’t handle the Evil God of the Hexian Town.

Nangong Wuji was even aware of the half-god’s power.

However, he was still killed by Origin Venerable, how could they not be shocked?

What came next was even more incomprehensible.

Origin Venerable actually wanted to join forces with the new god and guide the True God.

This left them more confused than ever.

"I am not entirely sure," Huang Mengying responded. "Yesterday, the person we sent to Qing Shui Village came back. Origin Venerable confessed... that he indeed is cooperating with the new god, intending to guide the True God to Qing Shui Village."

Huang Wenqi’s eyes reddened upon hearing this, "And to think that my grandfather trusted him!"

In reality, Huang Wenqi is a descendant of Heavenly Treasure Venerable.

A dozen or so days ago, at the behest of her grandfather, she traveled far to Fei Huang City in Lin Country to find a man named Origin Venerable and deliver some items to him.

These items were priceless treasures capable of helping celestial beings who had reached the realm of Purple Mansion Consummation to break through to the realm of the True God.

Her grandfather placed such high hopes on Origin Venerable, sending her thousands of miles to present him with these gifts.
