Chapter 1200 Response
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a salute: "Elder."

Zhou Chongming clasped his hands in a fist salute and lowered his voice: "Is there something confidential?"

He quietly approached, relying on the unique connection between practitioners of the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture.

Upon seeing Chu Zhiyuan, he knew that Chu Zhiyuan had ulterior motives and had deliberately met with him in secret.

"There is indeed some news," Chu Zhiyuan said softly. "Uncle-Master, I saw..."

He recounted the events of the Giant Spirit Sect in detail, including the arrival of the Evil Lord.

He didn't want to hide this matter.

Zhou Chongming's brows furrowed more and more deeply.

"The Evil Lord has descended?"

"Ah."

"It really happened, did you see it clearly?" Zhou Chongming confirmed again.

“Elder, I saw it clearly. That Divine Son of the Giant Spirit Sect was like a completely different person. He was very imposing and even punished their Elder Sun Haoyang.”

"You even know about Sun Haoyang," Zhou Chongming remarked.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I dared to sneak up close to observe because I have the Shadowless Divine Sword."

“Your lightness skill is indeed quite good now.” Zhou Chongming nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan's lightness skill has now surpassed his master's, advancing by leaps and bounds, even faster than his cultivation level.

It's not wrong to say that he has the best lightness skill in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Using the wonders of the Shadowless Sword, one can stalk and eavesdrop nearby, and once discovered, one can flee far away, leaving no one able to harm one.

"The Evil Lord has descended..." Zhou Chongming said slowly, his expression grave. "Indeed troublesome!"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Do we have a way to deal with this descending evil lord?"

Zhou Chongming shook his head and said, "I have never encountered a descending evil lord before. I would have to ask the sect leader."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "His cultivation is extremely high, so we should avoid him."

“Well, that’s fine,” Zhou Chongming said. “I’ll have everyone take a slightly longer route.”

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Zhou Chongming said, "You should also be careful and not be reckless. We should wait until we have consulted with the sect leader before deciding how to proceed."

"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Zhou Chongming waved his hand and took his leave.

Through his extrasensory perception, Chu Zhiyuan saw Zhou Chongming return to the main force and summon the experts from the other three sects together, saying that he had decided to change the route and take a detour.

They encountered no obstacles, and the other three masters quickly agreed, so they changed their route.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to persuade them.

After they took a detour and missed the Giant Spirit Sect, Chu Zhiyuan was completely relieved.

Zhu Lingyun remained solemn, paying no heed to the passersby.

Seeing his expression, Hu Chengxiang and Sun Haoyang dared not urge him to make a move.

Moreover, his previous injury to Sun Haoyang already demonstrated his formidable cultivation.

This is only the beginning; after a while, its strength will likely continue to surge.

At that time, it will be even more terrifying, perhaps even the best in the world.

That would be the perfect time for the Giant Spirit Sect to dominate the world; there's no rush now.

Chu Zhiyuan was not behind them, but in front of them, heading towards the main altar of the Giant Spirit Sect.

They stopped a dozen miles away from the main altar of the Giant Spirit Sect and searched for the statue of the Undying Evil Lord.

Soon, a statue of the Undying Evil Lord was discovered three miles away from the headquarters of the Giant Spirit Sect.

Through his extrasensory perception, Chu Zhiyuan saw a vast expanse of soft golden light.

The true appearance inside is not clearly visible.

Based on his experience, he knew that this was a statue of the Undying Evil Lord.

While the statue of the Undying Evil Lord was not clearly visible, twelve youths could be seen standing around it.

They stood with their backs to the statue, guarding the three nearby peaks and preventing others from entering.

These twelve youths were disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect, and each of them had a serious expression.

Chu Zhiyuan did not rush to destroy it. Instead, he sat on a mountaintop ten miles away and looked out over here.

Half a day later, Zhu Lingyun and his group arrived at the foot of the statue.

Zhu Lingyun stood beneath the statue, staring at it for a moment before turning to look to his left and right, and coldly asked, "Where is Zhao Ruilin?"

Hu Chengxiang beckoned, and a young man stepped forward and whispered his report.

Hu Chengxiang nodded, then respectfully reported to Zhu Lingyun: "Your Majesty, the Sect Master is currently inside the sect."

"Let him come over!" Zhu Lingyun snorted.

Hu Chengxiang hurriedly said, "I will personally invite the sect leader over."

Zhu Lingyun gave him a cold look.

Hu Chengxiang sneered and looked at Sun Haoyang.

Sun Haoyang was taken aback and pointed to himself.

He immediately waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let Senior Brother Hu go. I'll stay and keep you company!" Hu Chengxiang looked at Zhu Lingyun expectantly.

Zhu Lingyun turned to look at the other young people and sneered, "Fine, then go ahead."

Hu Chengxiang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Lingyun waved his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the glittering golden statue.

Chu Zhiyuan had already appeared on the mountaintop a mile away, standing behind a rock and surveying the area.

From this distance, one can clearly see the situation over there; the statue of the Undying Evil Lord is no longer a soft glow, but a real and tangible one.

The spiritual power of the Undying Evil Lord statue could not distort his vision and mind, and he could clearly see its appearance.

Three heads, their expressions sorrowful, angry, and pained.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The expressions on these three faces are different from those seen before, which means that there is yet another new immortal evil lord!
In the end, how many immortal evil lords will emerge, one after another?

If you kill one, two more will come out. Will the problem never end?

Only by repairing that divine artifact can we prevent the intrusion of the Undying Evil Lord and stop the statue from falling.
He saw Hu Chengxiang float into the valley where the Giant Spirit Sect was located, enter the main hall, and come to Zhao Ruilin's side.

Zhao Ruilin was engrossed in reviewing case files when he heard the noise. He glanced up and then continued reviewing the files.

"Senior brother." Hu Chengxiang sighed and sat down in the chair at the bottom of the steps.

While reviewing the case files, Zhao Ruilin said, "It's rare to see you looking like this, Senior Brother Hu. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Hu Chengxiang said, "The Divine Lord has descended, and Lingyun has now become the Divine Lord."

"Finally done?" Zhao Ruilin put down the file and stared at him intently.

Hu Chengxiang said, "The descent of the deity is different from what I imagined."

"What is the difference?"

"I originally thought that the gods looked down on everything and were fearless."

"So what do you think now?"

"The God did not directly attack the imperial city, but instead returned to deal with the statue first."

"Is the statue more important than the imperial city?"

"The God-Emperor may not be confident of breaking into the Imperial City, and may have sensed a power within the Imperial City that could threaten him."

"This is not surprising. The imperial city has accumulated so much over the years, it is full of hidden talents and powerful treasures."

“Senior brother, the Divine Lord is not a divine weapon, but the person who wields it.” Hu Chengxiang shook his head and said, “I’m afraid the first thing the Divine Lord will do is kill you, senior brother.”

"Impossible." Zhao Ruilin shook his head.

Hu Chengxiang sighed, "I didn't want to guess this, but I sensed his murderous intent towards you, Senior Brother."

Zhao Ruilin frowned and said, "I am the sect leader, how can I kill without authorization?"

"If you want to completely control our Giant Spirit Sect, isn't it only right that you kill your senior brother first?"

"That's alarmist!" Zhao Ruilin scoffed. "What is the Divine Lord doing right now?"

“We are studying that statue.”

Zhao Ruilin said, "This statue actually belongs to the Undying God, who is a higher-ranking god than us."

Hu Chengxiang's spirits lifted: "Can we borrow their strength?"

Zhao Ruilin nodded slightly: "The method of communicating with the Undying God is the same as the method of communicating with our God."

Hu Chengxiang's eyes lit up: "Then let's communicate with the Undying God!"

“If the God hadn’t descended, we could have communicated with the Undying God, but now…” Zhao Ruilin shook his head and said, “We must cut off this thought.”

“…Yes.” Hu Chengxiang nodded slowly.

Zhao Ruilin frowned and pondered.

He paced back and forth on the steps, his steps becoming slower and slower, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Chu Zhiyuan, through his extrasensory perception, knew that he was struggling and making a painful choice.

His face was like a calm lake, but his heart was like a raging storm.

Zhao Ruilin finally stopped, his expression grim.

"Senior brother?" Hu Chengxiang said, "Why don't you hide for a while and come out when the God returns?"

Zhao Ruilin shook his head: "Let's go see the God."

"Senior brother, don't you believe me?" Hu Chengxiang asked hurriedly.

"I believe you," Zhao Ruilin said.

"That……"

"We must see the deity."

"It will be too late once we see the deity!" Hu Chengxiang said anxiously, "There will be no way to escape."

Zhao Ruilin said in a deep voice, "If the God really wants to kill me, I will accept it."

Hu Chengxiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

In his memory, Zhao Ruilin was not such a devout person.

Before becoming the sect leader, he was an extremely devout disciple of the Divine Lord, but after becoming the sect leader, his thoughts gradually changed.

He knew Zhao Ruilin's ideal: to go further, to master even greater power, and to become a true god.
