Chapter 348: Scram“Priest w.a.n.g Chen!” Li Xianyu exclaimed.
This was Slime"s “home”, and it had been taken out to the world by Priest w.a.n.g Chen then. The man on the murals was of course Demonic Priest w.a.n.g Chen.
Moreover, Baoze"s keys were obtained from two fox demons scattered cultivators. Speaking about this, it was inextricably linked to him.
It so happened that he opened his spiritual eyes, saw the vengeful spirit of college hottie Zhang Mingyu, and found that his friend, Xu Wei had something to do with Zhang Mingyu"s death.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wei was killed long ago, and the two fox demons who had taken her place seized Li Xianyu, who had thrown himself into the net. Of which, the female fox demon, Qing Qing wanted to do unspeakable things to him. If only he had Slime then, he would be able to turn the tables on her.
Old Master Qin was responsible for protecting him and saved his life in time, thus obtaining the key to the Great Deities Palace.
In retrospect, although he was reluctant to admit it, his trouble magnet const.i.tution had always been present. Speaking of Old Master Qin, he hadn"t seen the old man for three months. The old man rarely came to the company, and didn"t really speak in the chat group either.
Old Master Qin was just a middle-ranking employee, attached to the Ministry of Public Security. He was not a member of the law enforcement department. The Ministry of Public Security was a second-tier department, similar to the difference between the CID and the community police.
The keys belonged to the Demonic Priest, and the keys Li Wuxiang had were in the hands of Buddha Head. Clearly, the person who came here was definitely the Demonic Priest.
Everyone present here was smart and they naturally realized it. They just wanted a confirmation from Li Xianyu.
Fire G.o.d extinguished his fireball, and as the heat dissipated, the whole pool was dark. Even though there were lighting devices in everyone"s hands, there was no way to compare it with the fireball.
The fireball suddenly went out, and their eyes couldn"t adapt to the change in the diminished light. Their field of vision turned dark for a few seconds.
Combat G.o.d crouched as the muscles in his legs suddenly expanded, stretching his pants, like a cheetah waiting to pounce.
Amongst the Ten G.o.ds of Baoze, in terms of close combat techniques, Combat G.o.d was undisputedly the top. He never practiced Taoism and Buddhism as he felt those were all fancy stuff. Other than developing superpowers and cultivating qi, he only focused on techniques to kill.
To Combat G.o.d, killing someone was something that ended within two blows. If an expert of the same rank is caught in his close proximity, even this expert would be slain.
In such a few seconds, he was confident in killing Shentu Changgong and Xu Changda. As for the rest, with the Ten G.o.ds of Baoze working together, they could easily wipe out the other party.
However, at this point, White G.o.d placed her hand on Combat G.o.d"s shoulder and shook her head slightly.
She realized that when Fire G.o.d extinguished his fireball, all the people present were on guard and went into defensive mode. They were all family masters and leaders who were shrewd. Thus, it wasn"t easy to a.s.sa.s.sinate them.
As everyone got accustomed to the sight, they switched on the light sticks they carried, and the bottom of the pool was lit up again.
Shentu Changgong raised the flashlight, and the beam of light fell on the murals. “That is to say, the black material on Demonic Priest is the creature on your left hand?”
Li Xianyu could feel scorching gazes landing on his left hand.
“Yes.” Li Xianyu took off the Thanos-esque glove and held his left hand high. “It was parasitic on the body of the Demonic Priest and left the Great Deities Palace. At first, it wanted to take over the Demonic Priest"s body, but it underestimated the willpower of the Demonic Priest.”
“It is true that the Demonic Priest entered Gokudo Path by lending on its power, but it is not a treasure. It is a curse. Anyone who becomes his host will have their will controlled by him.”
Now the whole world knew he had Demonic Priest"s inheritance.
Xu Changda smiled forcefully and mocked. “Since it is so dangerous, you should give it to us. Let"s endure the suffering for you.”
A bunch of ignorant idiots. Li Xianyu snarked.
The only reason why he could withstand Slime was that Great-Grandma was suppressing it. The reason why the Demonic Priest could entangle with it was that he had the talent of stepping into the Gokudo Path.
Those without extreme resilience and lacked willpower could only be swallowed by Slime and have their body"s control taken away.
No one would believe him, as people believe more in what they see. Demonic Priest obtained it and became a Gokudo master. Now Li Xianyu had it. That meant it was harmless or at least that side effect was something that normal people can withstand.
The leader of a foreign force whispered, “That is to say, the treasure of the s.p.a.ce we are in, is on him.”
“Yes.” Great-Grandma who rarely spoke up suddenly opened her mouth, and stared coldly at the guy who spoke. “Do you want to s.n.a.t.c.h it away?”
The Caucasian stopped talking. Shentu Changgong and Xu Changda also remained silent.
They suddenly realized one thing: this was the Great Deities Palace.
It was isolated from the outside world, mobile phones had no signals, messages cannot be transmitted, and no order or rule existed here.
They were unable to blackmail Baoze here, nor can they use the life of the Li family descendant to threaten the Unparalleled War Spirit. In turn, the Unparalleled War Spirit could slaughter them with impunity as long as Baoze doesn"t stop her.
When they realized this fact, the heads of the families were uneasy. After making eye contact with each other, they chose to leave the pool to join their family.
Climbing up from the bottom of the pool, Li Xianyu glanced around. The members of the big group were scattered across the vast palace. Some were chatting, some were eating and some were standing on the edge of the steps, wary and uneasy of a world that was too desolate.
“Let"s just split up here, I suggest that everyone explore it separately. This world is big, and might not necessarily only have this palace,” Wald Jones said.
The American was straightforward.
The heads of the families agreed, as they had the same thought. It was an once-in-lifetime opportunity to enter the Great Deities Palace and they will not rest until they turn it upside down to search for treasures.
It was good to split up so they didn"t have to fight to the death for the “treasure”.
Li Xianyu nudged Victoria with his foot, who was sitting on the floor, chatting with a familiar Baoze employee. She looked up and glared at Li Xianyu with her blue eyes.
“Go catch up, your boss is leaving.” He pointed to the members of the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings who were gathering.
“Mhm.” Victoria nodded and said to the female colleague, “In the future, I will bring your cosmetics back. The whole world knows that it"s easy to earn money from the Chinese. Those luxury goods are not that expensive in Europe and the United States.”
Li Xianyu was moved. “Count me in, help me buy too.”
That woman Battle Lady was a luxury fanatic. If she had money, she would have to spend it. From clothing to jewelry or even everyday items, nothing was a civilian brand.
Victoria, a rich young lady of the American demon descendant family, had a lot of connections and could buy a lot of luxury goods of nice quality at a discount.
I actually neglected such a good purchasing agent, I must be too full of myself, Li Xianyu thought.
“NO!” Victoria huffed and rolled her eyes at him.
“It"s not me who became full of myself. It"s you. Is my left hand no threat to you anymore?” Li Xianyu grabbed Victoria"s shoulder like he was holding his brother.
The sudden intimacy surprised the Caucasian girl, and she subconsciously tensed up and glared at him. At this point, her waist was poked by something hard. It was a military-use walkie talkie that Li Xianyu quietly pa.s.sed to her.
“Take it, contact me if you are in danger.” Li Xianyu whispered, “Be careful.”
Victoria frowned and looked at him.
“Don"t ask. I don"t know. Just take it.” Li Xianyu shook his head in a subtle manner.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Victoria put the walkie talkie away and nodded. “Thank you.”
She then sashayed away in her military boots to catch up with the a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings.
Ryder stood on the steps, looking at Li Xianyu, nodding slightly. His superpower was super hearing, and he could hear every word of Li Xianyu"s conversation with his sister. Although he disliked Li Xianyu, he approved of his actions just now.
The other party really regarded his sister as a friend.
The people of Baoze Group didn"t leave. They stayed in place to rest and took a seat around the Ten G.o.ds of Baoze.
“Let"s have a chat.”
Thunderlord drank an energy drink, opened the can and then smoked, while the others ate and smoked and talked.
“We may have some definition of the Great Deities Palace!” Thunderlord puffed out the green smoke and grabbed a cow"s tendon and put it in his mouth. “I think the Great Deities Palace is the tomb of the ancient demons, and we are in this world where a powerful creature is buried or imprisoned.”
“You make such a rash judgment just based on this world we are in?” Earth G.o.d, Tian Hao raised his eyebrows.
“There are seven other doors,” Ape G.o.d said. He, like Earth G.o.d, disagreed with Thunderlord, Lin Chuan.
“I agree with Thunderlord,” Combat G.o.d said.
“I agree too,” Fire G.o.d said, flicking ash from his fingers. “I have seen your summary video of the Great Demons" Alliance mission. The meat of awakening was brought out by Li Xianyu"s father from the Great Deities Palace.”
“Although the effects are different, it has the same nature as Slime. From this, we can infer that there is an ancient demon trapped or buried in the other six doors.”
Black and White G.o.ds and Equal nodded.
Earth G.o.d frowned. “Saying that it"s a tomb is obviously incorrect. We all saw the frescoes, and the giant creature below has been trapped here.”
“Thus, we have to think about two things. One, why is it in the Great Deities Palace? Two, who locked it up here and why did it die here?”
That was the crux of the question. If they could solve the puzzle, the truth of the Great Deities Palace would be clear.
Everyone glanced at Li Xianyu. The Li family descendant was sitting far away from them and had his own small team. There was only one man in the team, surrounded by girls of all styles.
The long-legged Thunderbolt Battle Lady, the charming Unparalleled War Spirit, the heroic Cat Demon, the gentle Hua Yang, the adorable but dull-minded San Wu…
At this point, the Li family descendant was shuffling poker cards and seemed to be planning to start a game.
“Hey, San Wu, you"re on our side. What are you doing over there?” Earth G.o.d let out a sad cry.
They didn"t know when the Ten G.o.ds of Baoze became the Nine G.o.ds of Baoze. San Wu had disengaged from the team.
San Wu heard the call and looked up expressionlessly. She then looked down and watched Li Xianyu shuffle cards attentively. She didn"t want to talk to them and glanced away coldly…
“Speaking of which, San Wu has not spoken to us since we entered the Great Deities Palace,” Ape G.o.d said in a low voice.
“It"s normal that she doesn"t speak, she hasn"t spoken much before. The point is that she no longer comes with us.” White G.o.d frowned.
“Looks like she found someone she likes,” Black G.o.d said sincerely.
“Ha, Li Xianyu?” Earth G.o.d rolled his eyes. “I"m afraid you haven"t seen the Li family descendant"s memes, which became viral this year.”
Black G.o.d replied, “I have seen it. Honestly, he"s really endowed, I"m rather envious.”
“Yours is good too,” White G.o.d touched her husband"s biceps. “You are just lacking a 0.”
Earth G.o.d covered his face. “Black G.o.d, I can"t stand your wife, she always says dirty things suddenly.”
“If we continue, the meeting will become a tea party,” Combat G.o.d, Gu Zhi commented.
Oh right, they had business to attend to. It was not a time for gossip.
Ape G.o.d yelled, “Li Xianyu, come here, we have something to ask you!”
Li Xianyu glanced at them and said coldly, “Scram!”
Everyone froze.
