Chapter 1101 608: The Desert G.o.d Is Dumbfounded, Am I A Subst.i.tute?
Madness was the theme of chaos.
In the background of the turmoil, everyone felt a strong sense of restlessness and danger.
It was the uneasiness of the future and the confusion of tomorrow.
It was enough for everyone in an environment to seize, even if only a sliver of hope.
The Desert Sect played such a role at this moment.
In the endless despair, it was as if a savior had descended from the sky in the darkest moment. It gave everyone light and hope and caused the residents trapped in the quicksand to go crazy.
The energy of a drowning person would enormously erupt if he spotted a life-saving straw.
In addition, the n.o.bles who ruled Solan City were timid. That boosted further the prestige of the Desert Sect.
The situation gradually tilted towards the Desert Sect.
The boss behind hid in an inconspicuous street in Solan City.
A tall figure wore a yellow cloak in a dilapidated and narrow house. He calmly looked at the sky through the open window.
A wall of the small courtyard stood two meters away from the window. Dewy moss covered it. The wall was not high, but it blocked most of the line of sight.
Even looking up at the sky would become extravagant during low tide.
That was because the sky also charged according to its value.
Three black-robed priests stood quietly behind this mysterious existence.
However, their eyes were like burning fireb.a.l.l.s.
That was the only light that lit up the starry sky because the person before them was their faith, their ruler!
The Desert G.o.d!
There was an indescribable restlessness in the silence.
A loud shout came from outside the wall in this remarkable atmosphere.
"Praise the G.o.d of the desert!"
The sudden figure broke the silence in the room. The three black-robed priests immediately became excited.
Words of praise for the Desert G.o.d rang out incessantly.
The few black-robed priests became excited.
"Your Excellency, did you hear that? The believers praise your glory!
"Your light has already enveloped the entire Solan City!
"Half of the residents in Solan City will become believers of the Desert Sect in half a month at most!
"You are eternity!"
The Desert G.o.d slowly turned around with a hood over his head. Richard looked closely. He could see a clear face under the hood. It was like a layer of mist covered it.
It gave off an endless sense of mystery and majesty, making people not dare to look directly at it.
One could see a pair of amber eyes in the haziness.
They emitted a sharp light that made people dare not look directly at it. That was like an eagle that hunted.
The other party stared at the three black-robed priests. They trembled and lowered their heads. They did not dare to be disrespectful to their beliefs.
"The rules of the world have changed.
"Those mortals who think they have great power sought even greater might. And this method is to kill G.o.ds!
"Before the situation has completely stabilized, don"t be arrogant. Don"t be conceited.
"A small achievement is far from enough to be proud of!
"I"ll congratulate you when Solan City becomes the territory of the Desert Sect.
"As the oracle says."
The three black-robed priests immediately agreed. Their att.i.tudes become increasingly humble.
The Desert G.o.d turned around and looked at the sky again afterward.
An indifferent voice entered their ears.
"How did the n.o.bles react to the expansion of the Desert Sect?
"Most of them only dare to restrict us in the dark and don"t dare to fight us head-on.
"There are even a few n.o.bles who have become your believers…"
"However, those n.o.bles are still on high alert. They are still waiting for the return of the ruler of this city."
At this point, the black-robed priest in the middle revealed a hint of killing intent.
"My Lord, the Grand Duke in Solan City has already obstructed our progress. Please give the order for us to get rid of him."
The Desert G.o.d didn"t turn around and said sarcastically.
"The three of you want to deal with the Grand Duke in Solan City?"
That didn"t convince the three black-robed priests.
"My Lord, we are all level-28 legends, and you have given us a semi-divine weapon. Is it not enough to join forces to deal with the level 29 Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City?"
"It"s enough."
The Desert G.o.d turned around and looked at the three black-robed priests. His amber eyes revealed a hint of playfulness.
"It"s barely enough to kill the Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City."
His tone suddenly sounded solemn as he spoke.
"Do you think that a level 29 ascetic is so easy to deal with?!"
"Let me tell you, even I don"t have the confidence to win against the Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City!"
A few of them narrowed their eyes in disbelief.
"My Lord, how, how is this possible? You"re a G.o.d!"
The Desert G.o.d shook his head.
There was a complicated look in his eyes.
"You don"t understand how powerful ascetic monks are. They are a group of beings who have tempered their bodies to the extreme. Any control skills, mental magic, or even poisonous curses are ineffective against them.
"Their bodies are even immune to more than 90% of magic damage and more than 95% of physical damage..."
"You can"t wear equipment or weapons in exchange for mighty combat power.
"Forget about the three of you as legends, even if you double. We can"t be a match for that ascetic."
These words silenced a few of them.
They knew the Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City was powerful. But they did not expect him to be so powerful.
They looked at each other bitterly.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
"Wait.
"Wait until everything falls.
"When the situation develops to the extent we want..."
The Desert G.o.d"s gaze revealed a profound meaning.
He finished speaking, and the black-robed priest in the middle suddenly closed his eyes.
He opened his eyes again. Excitement filled his face.
"Your Excellency, the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce is closely related to the Solan Chamber of Commerce and the Phoenix-Tail Flower Merchant a.s.sociation. They had just made contact with a bishop. The other party expressed that they would fully support the expansion of the Desert Sect.
"Your Excellency, this is the first time a large chamber of commerce has officially announced their support for us. It has extraordinary significance!"
The Desert G.o.d raised his eyebrows and revealed a playful look.
"The Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce announced their support for us. That is Interesting.
"The ruler behind it is a Grace Mainland Overlord in the desert. I hope to remember it correctly."
Almost everyone knew Richard"s ident.i.ty as Qingqiu throughout the world.
However, Richard hadn"t exposed Twilight City to the world. The only information the outside world knew was that he was a big shot of the Desert Camp. And his territory was in the desert of death.
No one knew what his territory leader looked like.
His relationship with the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce and Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City was even more mysterious.
The G.o.ds lost their authority and no longer had the power to see through everything. The Desert G.o.d was one of them.
"That"s right, the other party said you"re his loyal believer..."
The black-robed priest in the middle seemed very excited. Once the top n.o.bles of Solan City supported the Desert Sect, they wouldn"t be far from taking control of Solan City.
The Desert G.o.d"s eyes moved slightly and revealed a meaningful light.
"Believers? No, he"s just an ant who wants to pry into the power of the G.o.ds."
"I didn"t sense any kindness from them…"
That shocked the black-robed priest, and killing intent filled his face.
"That d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d dared to lie to us, and, and even dared to blaspheme! They"re courting death!"
"Your Excellency, we"ll immediately arrange for people to clean up..."
The Desert G.o.d waved his hand before he could finish.
"No, accept them."
The righteous indignation of a few people froze, and confusion filled their faces.
"Your Excellency…"
The Desert G.o.d spoke slowly.
"The most threatening thing is the unknown hidden in the dark, not the enemy that has already surfaced."
"He is no longer dangerous after we know his purpose."
"On the contrary, we can borrow their arrogance and use their strength to accelerate the integration of Solan City."
He slowly closed his eyes as he spoke.
"It"s already chaos. No one knows what will happen. Therefore, we need a territory utterly under our control to deal with the unknown terror.
"Fate guided me to this area.
"I sensed a corner of the future in the fragment of fate. It was a world where despair and death coexisted.
"And Solan City will be the place where I die."
The three legendary priests held their breaths and no longer spoke loudly.
"Fallen?"
They couldn"t imagine what would happen if their G.o.d fell!
His emotions churned, and he was at a loss. The Desert G.o.d"s voice suddenly became high-pitched.
"There is still a trace of life even in death.
"That"s why we have to capture him at all costs!!
"The Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce"s probe will be our push."
"We can use this to conduct a deeper probe. One. How many spies are still lurking in the shadows in Solan City? Two. Is the Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City stationed there? Three. Draw out potential danger."
"Don"t be afraid of enemies getting close to you. Dances with wolves is an intoxicating thing."
The three black-robed priests felt ashamed when they heard this.
His bearing and vision were like clouds and mud compared to the ruler.
"As you wish."
The Desert Sect headed on the Desert G.o.d"s will.
The Desert Sect"s deliberate cooperation and the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce"s support for the Desert Sect quickly spread throughout Solan City.
That alarmed several n.o.ble forces. That seriously considered how to deal with the Desert Sect.
The Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce, the Phoenix Tail Flower Merchant a.s.sociation, and Solan City"s representative, the Solan Chamber of Commerce, had also quietly relaxed their restrictions on the Desert Sect and even secretly supported it.
The change in the direction of the wind made countless n.o.bles feel sensitive. They relaxed their suppression and supported the Desert Sect like the Violet Merchant a.s.sociation Chamber of Commerce.
The Desert Sect had already won the people"s sympathy and the cooperation of all parties.
Half of the residents of Solan City had become believers of the Yellow Sand Sect on November 10th, after nearly a month of development.
The Desert G.o.d could feel the prayers of his believers at all times.
The situation gradually moved toward what the boss had predicted.
"Wait a little longer."
He would go out and take over the city as the number of believers exceeded 70%. He would wait a little longer.
The Desert G.o.d watched as the number of believers skyrocketed, and his calm emotions soared.
On November 15th, 60% of the residents in Solan City had become believers in the Yellow Sand Sect.
A piece of news that shocked the Desert G.o.d suddenly came.
The G.o.d of the Desert, the great protector of the desert, the eternal supreme G.o.d, had descended on the square of Solan City and summoned his believers!
The Desert G.o.d heard the news from his subordinate. He looked down at himself blankly.
The Desert G.o.d had appeared?
Then who was he?
An indescribable fear suddenly rose in his heart.
The mastermind didn"t just want him. He wanted the entire Desert Sect!
He had become the other party"s subst.i.tute. The other party seemed to have eaten the fat meat in his hand.
"d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how dare he? How dare you!"
