701 Before Mount North Qiong! (1/2)
The ultimatum given by the United States and the Christian Church was getting closer.
North Qiong Corp and the North Qiong Sect had prepared for the worst. Several members of North Qiong Corp's management, including Zheng Anqi, Lu Yanwu, Zhou Jinyi and Cheng Danqin, had been evacuated and taken to the Sword Palace.
Many members of the Chen Family like Chen An, Chen Ning and Chen Guoguo also left.
Hua Yunfeng, Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu and some of the others were still on East Mountain, waiting for the Christian Church and the Immortal State Warriors. They had never told the world that Chen Huaian had become an Earth Level Deity and this had become the North Qiong Sect's last card.
”Madam, you should also go to the Sword Palace. We'll stay here,” Hua Yunfeng said.
Wang Xiaoyun shook her head. ”Xiao Fan has spent his whole life running North Qiong Corp and the North Qiong Sect. As his mother, it's my responsibility to keep them going no matter if he's dead or not.”
”Let Xiaoyun stay. She has reached the Ethereal Enlightenment State. She can help,” Chen Huaian said.
The old man seemed to be connected to the thunder in the sky and his energy was surging endlessly. In just two months, Chen Huaian had reached a higher level; even an experienced Earth Level Deity would be stunned by his progress.
”Right, we'll stay.”
An Ya nodded firmly.
In the end, only Hua Yunfeng, Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu, Chen Huaian, Wang Xiaoyun and Qian Yexue stayed in the mansion on East Mountain, while the others were all sent away.
Half of the forces of the North Qiong Sect were in Southeast Asia.
However, the American Army stationed there had already arrived and was going after Xie Yan and the Dragon Hall. Some said that the leader of the American Wise Men came in person and many wondered if he was the CEO of the Star World Corporation, Brooke.
”Don't worry, we have our old man and the Green Dragon Grand Array. We can hide inside the array if anything goes wrong. I don't think that one Saint from the Christian Church can defeat the North Qiong Sect.”
Hua Yunfeng snickered.
The time had come.
On August 15th, 2012, the former Pope of the Christian Church, Saint Francis, led the nine Immortal State Bishops and many other members of the Religious Court to East Mountain, to meet the North Qiong Sect.
Before the Saint of the Christian Church arrived, countless Overlords from the Dark World had gathered around East Mountain.
”There are so many people! I didn't know Chen Beixuan had offended this many,” White Tiger said.
In front of him was a crowd that surrounded the mountain.
Many Dark Overlords from the West, Africa, the Middle East and Japan, who held grudges against Chen Fan, were there. Since Chen Fan was dead, they wanted to vent their hatred on the North Qiong Sect.
”Have you evacuated the residents around the area?” Azure Dragon asked.
”Don't worry. This is the suburb of Jin City; there are only a few mansions. Everyone has evacuated and our troops have set a restricted area around the periphery, saying that there's a military exercise. The residents won't come here,” Red Sparrow said seriously.
Having so many Dark Overlords and the Christian Church paying a visit was a massive load for Kunlun. The Special Department almost mobilized everyone to East Mountain, except Ye Qincang who had to stay in Yan Jin.
Black Tortoise frowned and said, ”The North Qiong Sect might have some top warriors, but the Christian Church has a Saint. How can they fight with the Christian Church?”
”Father told me Chen Beixuan always plans ahead. He must have left something for them,” Ye Nantian said.
Then, there was a commotion.
A beam of light swept across the sky and landed on East Mountain.
A bald elder, who was skinny and covered in gold, appeared.
”It's 'Guru Guja' of the Indian Brahmin. Chen Beixuan killed his brother Guru Rama and he's coming for revenge,” someone yelled.
Guru Guja remained silent.
Some people wondered why he didn't take revenge when Chen Fan was there, but they didn't dare say it out loud.
Soon, more Immortal State Warriors arrived from all directions.
”The Priest of the God of Gold Temple.”
”The Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine.”
”The elder of the Russian War Wolves.”
”The Patriarch of the Druid Sect of Northern Europe…”
All Immortal State Overlords were shining bright.
Everyone else was shocked. They thought there weren't many Immortal State Warriors left on Earth after Chen Fan killed plenty of them, but a dozen showed up that day.
”Boom!”
A pure white light shone over the mountain.
”The Christian Church is here.”
Countless people, including the Immortal State Overlords, got up and looked over.
A wood ship flew in the sky, coming towards them. The ship was made of some unknown Divine Wood and was covered in white sacred glitters, like the legendary Noah's Ark.
”It's a sacred ship! I heard that the Saints of the Christian Church would tour the world on this ship in the past. It can float in the air for a week without falling. I can't believe they brought it here,” someone exclaimed.
The rest were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a Dharma Treasure in modern society.
”Boom!”
The sacred ship landed and nine bishops came out. Every one of them was surrounded by sacred light, with power comparable to an Immortal State Warrior.
”The nine Immortal State Bishops!”
Many people gasped and those of the North Qiong Sect were startled.
Then, a blonde adjudicator helped an elder get off. The elder had no sense of life, just like a dead tree, but everyone knew him.
”Saint Francis, the 42nd Pope!”
”Ahem.”
The elder coughed and said with his narrowed eyes, ”Chen Beixuan took dozens of Sacred Artifacts and secret books from the Christian Church in the Vatican. Please give them back to us.”
”Hm! Master doesn't need any Sacred Artifacts. Why would he care about them? You're lying,” A'Xiu said.
