Chapter 104 Something’s Wrong with the Script
In fact, even Li Changshou, the Sea G.o.d, felt that the Sea G.o.d Ceremony in Anshui City…
was done quite well today.
Besides, it was already very difficult to gather such a large number of disciples at the border of the mortal world in the South Ocean.
Although there were too many people outside the city and it looked a little messy at first, there was no disturbance everywhere. The disciples were maintaining order on their own…
That alone was very rare.
However, Li Changshou still had not had a good impression of the Sea G.o.d Sect yet…
The original Village Chief of the Xiong Village was the current High Priest of the Sea G.o.d Sect, Yanyang, was wearing a black bear-hide jacket. He sat on the gold-plated throne and was carried out by four burly men…
The village chief was strong, to begin with. The scene looked like a black bear spirit being carried out of the city!
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
As expected, he should destroy the Sea G.o.d Sect as soon as possible.
The Sea G.o.d’s statue was moved to a hill five kilometers away from the city. Hundreds of thousands of disciples in the city followed it out.
Li Changshou’s immortal senses continued to envelop the place, and he soon discovered some interesting scenes.
Along the way, the gorgeous young girls were holding hands and singing songs.
The strong and energetic young men were all in high spirits. When they saw the girl they liked, they would go up and say—they would show off their st.u.r.dy and toned bodies under the pretext that they were fis.h.i.+ng.
The large-scale celebration was also a good opportunity for young people to hook up with each other, ahem… to get to know each other and develop romantic relations.h.i.+ps
The old men who were walking at slower speeds had strong young men supporting them from the side.
The lively children were being held onto tightly by their adults.
There were also some women in long skirts and solemn expressions everywhere in the crowd.
They scattered some dew-stained petals and leaves in the crowd. That was a blessing from the Sea G.o.d Sect.
Most of the disciples were singing missionary songs and smiling as they chased after the Sea G.o.d’s back…
The atmosphere of the celebration was harmonious and warm.
When the statue stabilized, the eight Divine Envoys of Xiong Village were also drenched in sweat from exhaustion.
They quickly adjusted their auras and spread their legs with both hands behind their back. They stood on both sides of the statue.
There were more than a hundred burly men from Xiong Village. They were dressed in black short-sleeved s.h.i.+rts, leg-bound trousers, carrying huge sabers, double hammers, and other “heavy” weapons as they surrounded the statue…
“It’s time to go,” Li Changshou muttered to himself.
He slowly disappeared from the small courtyard and used the Earth Escape technique to rush to the statue.
It was almost time.
His immortal senses were focused on the disciples who were rus.h.i.+ng towards the hill. Li Changshou could only apologize in his heart.
He was not an expert who could protect an entire place. The Primordial World was too big and too dangerous.
Now, he could not even pluck his own Dao Fruit of Longevity. Even if he continued being the Sea G.o.d, he could not protect those devotees.
After obtaining the merit from incense offerings, he would have to protect those who wors.h.i.+ped him. That was the rule of the Heavenly Dao.
Today, he would personally break the illusions of those devotees…
Great demon?
Li Changshou, who was about to appear underground, suddenly stopped.
The paper effigies that Li Changshou placed at the periphery, released his immortal senses to capture the strange scene in the sky.
It had indeed come
The Sea G.o.d Sect’s ceremony this time was of the highest-scale in the past years.
Due to the rapid expansion of the Sea G.o.d Sect, they had already started a conflict with other sects this year. Li Changshou had predicted that the celebration today would attract some fiendish demons and ghouls that would cause trouble.
Li Changshou had a feeling that there were probably traces of people from the Western school behind him.
Someone must be thinking of finding out something about the Sea G.o.d Sect’s background during the ceremony today… “Fortunately, I’m here.
Otherwise, how many negative karma will I have to gain if I let you start killing?” In the Pill Chamber of the Little Qiong Peak in the Immortal Du of the East Continent, Li Changshou’s main body opened his eyes and raised his hand to grab the box in the corner of the Pill Chamber. He took out three black talismans with red words and secretly stuck them into his sleeve.
Then, he immediately conjured a seal with both hands and formed the Immortal Du Sect’s lotus flower-shaped seal.
Wisps of immortal light stabilized his Essence Soul and strengthened his telepathic detection towards the paper effigies…
At the same time, about 600 kilometers northwest of Anshui City, three black shadows swept up a black cloud and flew towards Anshui City.
The black cloud was still far away and had yet to be discovered by the mortals of Anshui City. Li Changshou slowly closed his eyes and put his attention back onto the paper effigies.
This time, it was different from the past.
He realized that the three demons had already decided to attack. They did not hesitate.
He had already thought things through. Of course, the most important thing was that Li Changshou had made sufficient preparations for this trip to the South Sea.
In terms of defense, he had achieved the maximum he could.
If the paper effigies were to encounter any expert, they would instantly self-destruct and turn to dust.
In addition, the Immortal Du Sect had just suffered a calamity, and the Perfected Du’e from Ren School had appeared. The Immortal Du Sect had officially been recognized as a faction by the Three Sects.
Although the head disciple of the Ren School, Xuan Du, did not appear directly, there were rumors in the Immortal Du Sect that the Great Daoist Master had gone to Golden Ao Island and talked some sense into the disciples of the Jie School.
With someone backing him up, Li Changshou had more or less gained some confidence… to secretly steal a glance at the Western school…
He would not dare to kick them. Just looking at them made his heart ricochet in fear.
To be safe, the paper effigies had to pretend to be human Qi Refinement cultivators who were just pa.s.sing by.
If he allowed the three demons who were in the Perfected Immortal realm to disturb the Anshui City’s celebration, he would be considered to have gained negative karma for every mortal that died.
That was the reason he had to make a move.
The forces behind the three demons were too much of a bully…
In the eyes of some Connate lifeforms, mortals might only be Dharma artifacts that could provide merit from incense and karma, just like rice and wheat.
Retracting his attention, Li Changshou quickly began to attack.
In the direction of the three great demons, Li Changshou controlled a ‘G.o.d’ paper effigy and made it use Earth Escape to move 150 kilometers into the forest where there was no one.
He first used some illusions and the Transformation Technique to disguise the benevolent-looking old Daoist priest as a middle-aged Daoist.
After that, he released five original paper dolls and quickly set up an isolation array there. He also started preparing for the expiation ritual.
Immediately after, Li Changshou charged into the sky and faced the black clouds in the north-west. He generously blocked the path of the three demons and with a longsword in his hand!
Unlike before, this time, Li Changshou first pulled out the sword from its scabbard. A cold light flashed.
It… was actually a real sword!
However, don’t be fooled by its appearance. It was actually a poison-dispersing Dharma artifact.
It was not quite accurate to call it a Dharma artifact. It should be considered a good-quality Dharma treasure.
