Chapter 967 - Phony (2/2)

Their current situation was similar to soldiers who went to the battlefield. Not only did they fail to complete their combat mission, but they also suffered great losses and sacrificed more than half of their team.

Their strength plummeted and there was no chance of continuing the mission, so they decided to rest and regroup.

What they did not know was that they were lucky that the Heavenly Axiom absorbed real-life experiences from actual wars on Earth instead of unverified and superficial battle situations from web novels.

Else, with the introduction of a “King of the Gods Mode” where those who failed to complete their mission were to be killed, they were going to cry buckets of tears…

Naturally, they were the ones who bore the responsibility of failing to complete the mission instead of the Heavenly Axiom. The reason was simple, they were not brave enough and they were too weak…

Fang Ning took back control of the body from the System and asked, “What’s your opinion, Bodhisattva?”

“It’s better for those below the Sea level to leave this place. The World of Spirits and Souls is too brutal and unsuitable for them.” Bodhisattva said slowly.

There was no protest from the other people. In a matter of seconds, there were people helping up their injured teammates and all of them pleaded to return.

Just like last time in the World of Deadly Souls, a bright ray of light flashed across the ones who requested to leave and they disappeared.

Soon, there was no one in the refuge area, except for the Bodhisattva Spirit King, Tianjing Fawang and Vigilante A.

They were also the three most powerful individuals that could be ordered around by the present Heavenly Axiom.

“What do you want to do next, Bodhisattva?” Fang Ning inquired with curiosity. Without those fellows slowing them down, he felt at ease.

From this perspective, the Heavenly Axiom still bore a high strategic value.

“I haven’t been to the World of Spirits and Souls in a long time. This time, I want to observe its changes. We’d better speak as we roam about this place and it depends on what we encounter.” Bodhisattva did not have a clear goal either. Although he betrayed the Buddhist clan, he still has the clan’s charisma.

Fang Ning asked again. “What about you, Tianjin Fawang?”

“Oh, I shall be a follower and follow Bodhisattva around.” Fawang pressed both of his palms together.

“Eh, what a sycophant.” Sir System sniggered.

“It’s normal.” Fang Ning comprehended this as he was sucking up to an even greater force.

“I have something to ask you, Bodhisattva.” Fang Ning continued. “Could you tell us where the Five Great Spirit Lords are hiding and what their abilities are?”

“Eh, are you going to stir up trouble with the Spirit Lords, Venerable One?” Bodhisattva frowned. “That’s not a wise move.”

Judging from his tone, it was apparent that Bodhisattva did not believe in Vigilante A’s abilities. Despite Vigilante A’s lack of worthy opponents on Earth, his level was far below that of the Spirit Lords. The latter were not simple figures.

“I’m not trying to stir up trouble with them, but they are going to stir up trouble with me and I need to defend myself beforehand.” Fang Ning explained.

“Oh, if so, why didn’t you return together with those people?” Bodhisattva was puzzled.

‘Hey, I also want to go back, but a certain greedy fellow doesn’t want to…”

System Notification: [The System has seized the Host’s body.]

“Damn you, you with your bag of tricks again!” Fang Ning yelled. “Are you afraid that I’ll return at once?”

“That’s the truth.” Sir System replied firmly.

Then, Vigilante A declared in a righteous manner. “Earlier, I’ve roamed many parts of this world and I’ve discovered lots of evil situations where the strong prey on the weak. It’s a place where the good ones die and the bad ones thrive. There’s no justice and righteousness here. Despite my limited strength, I still need to think of a way to rescue more benevolent spirits and prevent them from being stuck in this evil realm. Even if I offend the Spirit Lords and Spirit Generals because of this and my karma is affected, I’ll have no regrets!”

When he finished his speech, the group of old and sickly Heavenly Spirits Clan specters with dull looks reappeared…

“Hmm…” The Bodhisattva Spirit King saw this and was touched. He pressed both palms together and praised. “Since ancient times, benevolent individuals like you are extremely rare. Even I can’t compare myself to you, Venerable One. These specters from the Heavenly Spirits Clan are the rare benevolent spirits. It’s highly commendable that you’ll provide them deliverance, Venerable One.”

“Nah, I’m still lacking as compared to you, Bodhisattva.” Vigilante A remarked courteously.

“Phony.” Fang Ning sniggered.

“Touché.” Sir System chuckled.
