Chapter 366: [365] The Finger of the Divine Being

On the airship.

The farce that happened in the observation hall made the merchants lose interest in chatting.

Cheng Han greeted everyone and went straight back to his single room.

"Bang!"

The door was closed.

Cheng Han looked around and his gaze fell on the small table.

The vine that had just drawn the spiritual map had returned to its original seed state, lying motionless on the small table.

He then looked at the easel.

On the easel, there was no longer the secret realm map containing the underground cave.

Instead, there was a brand new spiritual map.

The theme presented was the wilderness several dozen kilometers away from Anxi City.

A cluster of small black dots was slowly wriggling.

They were the people who had escaped from the Destruction Legion.

A ghost was monitoring these guys from a distance, and the vine served as a link to draw this secret realm map.

The seven lines of the spiritual maps extended from the void, connecting to the small black dots.

Each line corresponded to a follower of the divine being.

Cheng Han blinked and muttered, "There are quite a few people who managed to escape!"

One of the lines appeared slightly blurry.

This was the line connecting to the spiritual map of the powerful Xuan Master. Due to the Xuan Master's more sensitive soul, the monitoring was slightly looser.

"Buzz~"

The sound of an illusory string vibrating.

From thousands of kilometers away, Cheng Han "eavesdropped" on the conversation of the divine being's followers.

"Lord Arthur, it seems that all the members of the Prayer Society have been killed, and the survivors are all our people."

The so-called "Lord Arthur" was the Satyr name of the powerful Xuan Master of the Destruction Legion.

"I know, the enemy's intentions are too sinister!"

The powerful Xuan Master paused and said in a deep voice, "I strongly suspect that the killer is currently monitoring us from a distance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Han saw the remaining six lines of the spiritual maps tremble.

There was no doubt that the brutal massacre by the ghost just now had scared these people.

Cheng Han couldn't help but grin, "They react pretty quickly! They truly deserve to be Xuan Masters!"

The conversation continued.

"Lord Arthur, what should we do now?"

This voice was filled with obvious fear and anxiety.

"Don't worry, the enemy deliberately spared us. Their main goal is to disrupt the alliance between the Destruction Legion and the Prayer Society."

"Lord, should we try to explain to the Prayer Society?"

Arthur sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, the Prayer Society's precious treasure should have been lost. In this situation, will the Prayer Society listen to our explanation?"

This guy does have the demeanor of a powerful individual. His tone is quite calm, "The killer is an extremely cunning person. This is an unsolvable conspiracy."

Everyone fell silent.

Cheng Han couldn't help but laugh when he overheard this: "Indeed, it's unsolvable!"

If Arthur and the others are alive, Qisheng will definitely come looking for them.

If Arthur and the others are dead, Qisheng will still persist.

In short,

Whether they are alive or dead, this group of people, one after another, has gotten into a huge trouble.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth slightly curled up: "It's time to proceed to the next step of the plan."

In the sea of spirits.

The Secret Realm Profound Seal instantly expanded several times.

A ray of light extended from it and struck a line on the spiritual map like lightning.

The "Hidden Soul Secret Technique" derived from the Profound Seal instantly condensed several extraordinary imprints and passed them along the line of the spiritual map.

Another key function of the Secret Realm Spiritual Map is to use it as a guide to transform the target into a puppet.

And to perform such an astonishing operation across thousands of kilometers of distance, this is truly an incredibly unimaginable thing.

Anliang Small Spirit Realm.

Under the night sky in the wilderness, it seemed as if countless evil spirits were lurking, ready to devour all living beings at any moment.

Arthur gazed at the lights in the distant city and sighed deeply once again.

The plan to jointly ambush important figures from the Profound Palace went extremely smoothly. The first phase has been successfully completed, and the strong individuals from the Profound Palace have also been paralyzed.

According to the insider information, besides the Palace Master Xuan Shi Lingye of Tianjing Hall, the other four strong Xuan Shi experts have already prepared to leave the Small Spirit Realm overnight.

Unfortunately, they encountered an unexpected event.

An extremely terrifying expert, as if jumping out from between the cracks in the stones, easily slaughtered the members of Qisheng.

Arthur decisively gave the order: "Let's go! Anliang Small Spirit Realm is too dangerous. Everyone should leave this cursed place separately."

The subordinates immediately responded.

"Understood!"

"Yes, sir!"

The intention of "leaving separately" is obviously to deal with the surveillance of the Netherworld.

There is also an implicit meaning of "every man for himself".

From the side, it can be seen how much pressure the Netherworld has brought to this group of people.

Just at this moment.

Arthur's body suddenly tensed.

He suddenly sensed a strange aura descending from the sky and instantly entering the body of one of his subordinates.

What's even more terrifying is that he couldn't sense where the aura came from, which instinctively made him think of that incredibly cunning culprit.

A chill ran through Arthur's heart as he sighed: "What advice do you have, sir?"

The strength of the subordinates was slightly weaker, and they didn't sense the change in aura at all, each wearing a puzzled expression.

The next moment.

The guy who was marked suddenly laughed softly, a burly man: "Speaker, you are even more perceptive than I expected."

The subordinates finally reacted.

They retreated quickly as if they had been bitten by a venomous snake, fearing getting too close to the burly man.

Because even a fool could tell that the burly man had definitely been tampered with by the enemy.

Arthur stood still, his expression calm: "No, compared to you, sir, all of us are as dull as dead people."

As the Speaker of the Destruction Expedition, he deeply understood how terrifying the other party was and didn't dare to not be humble.

The burly man grinned and said something strange: "Speaker Arthur, your performance today has greatly pleased our master."

Arthur couldn't help but pause, and instinctively asked, "I'm sorry! I don't quite understand what you mean, sir."

The corner of the speaker's eye caught the change in his subordinate's expression, and his heart skipped a beat.

In that instant.

He finally realized that this was a scheme of manipulation!

The massacre of the Prayer Society just now was the first manipulation!

And now, saying this in front of everyone, was the second manipulation.

Anyone who hears words like "master" and "pleased" will definitely start to suspect that they have some kind of insider deal with a powerful figure.

Arthur stared at the burly man's face, feeling a chilling sensation that pierced his heart.

Damn!

How can there be someone so cunning in the world?

It's terrifying!

The burly man slightly bowed and showed a sincere smile, "Honorable Speaker, our master is eagerly looking forward to your joining us!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

A group of subordinates involuntarily took a few steps back.

After a moment.

The burly man suddenly ignited a pale blue flame all over his body, turning into a burning fire person in the blink of an eye, and then into a pile of flying ashes.

This scene truly sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

Silently controlling a person, and then silently burning another person to death, what kind of method is this?

It's terrifying!

In addition to fear, Arthur was also engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

He hesitated whether to directly kill these subordinates.

There is no other reason.

If these people safely return, the enemy will undoubtedly hear the words spoken by the burly man, and he will definitely be in big trouble.

If he kills these people, the aftermath will be equally severe.

By then, he will be the only one left alive, and the Destruction Corps and the Prayer Society will definitely join forces to dig him out.

In short.

This is an extremely difficult decision.

*

Airship.

Inside a single room.

Cheng Han looked at the secret celestial map with a face full of sympathy and muttered, "Life is indeed too difficult!"

From today onwards, poor Mr. Arthur, I'm afraid you won't have any good days.

"Snap!"

Cheng Han snapped his fingers.

"Boom!"

The seed instantly burst open.

Several vines shot out and placed the map in a leather case, then folded up the drawing board and closed the case, finally stuffing it under the bed.

Then.

The vines retracted and returned to their seed state.

Cheng Han glanced at the dark window outside and smiled, "What a peaceful night."

Next.

It's time for the harvest.

Cheng Han commanded in his heart, "Prepare everything to assist me in deduction."

The Secret Realm Mysterious Seal trembled slightly.

An illusion flashed before his eyes.

A ghostly figure held a stone box with both hands and respectfully replied, "Yes, my lord!"

Inside the stone box was the blood-colored skull stolen from the Prayer for Life Assembly, also known as the "Skull of Prayer for Life."

This thing was extraordinarily sinister.

After obtaining this item, the ghostly figure immediately sealed it with the power of the True Secret.

He tentatively touched it, and the skull began to extract vitality frantically.

Although he intercepted it in time with the power of the True Flame, cutting off this strange power, one of his fingers still had its vitality drained.

If it were an ordinary Universal Truth practitioner, faced with such a situation, they would probably be drained of vitality.

And this once again proved that the power of the True Flame Mysterious Seal naturally restrained the power of the Divine.

At this moment.

Cheng Han's mind moved.

Countless stars appeared in the sky.

A halo of light flashed along with it.

A star representing the Skull of Prayer for Life and a star representing the powerful member of the Prayer for Life Assembly, Gerald, leaped into the halo of light.

The halo of light instantly expanded by twice its size.

Cheng Han decisively silently said, "Analyze!"

One second later.

Bloody and extreme illusions quickly flashed on the screen at the center of the halo of light.

He saw:

In a huge square.

A massive elongated object, reaching an astonishing length of five hundred meters, was placed on an equally massive altar.

From the shape of the object, it looked like a severed finger.

Cheng Han glanced at it and was suddenly shocked, "Could this be a part of a divine corpse?!"

Even though he had already guessed that the Skull of Prayer for Life had a significant background, he never expected it to be related to the divine body of a god.

In the scene.

The side wall of the giant altar was carved with many exquisite reliefs, among which there was a familiar pattern - flowers, nuts, and seeds.

Cheng Han muttered softly, "The Emblem of Evil Life!"

The so-called "Emblem of Evil Life" was none other than the familiar Lady Serpent, or the holy emblem of sin and life, the Serpent.

This gave him a subtle feeling of "old enemies meeting again."

And around the altar, there were countless people kneeling.

Roughly judging, there were at least a hundred thousand people.

From their attire, they seemed to be commoners, and they were all fed with drugs, each with a foolish and dazed look.

Cheng Han showed a look of disgust, "It's indeed a blood sacrifice of ten thousand people."

After obtaining the Skull of Prayer for Life earlier, the All-Knowing Eye provided some information, revealing that this evil artifact was tainted with a large number of resentful souls.

The essence of the vitality extracted by the ghostly figure was countless resentful souls devouring vitality greedily.
