Douluo: I am the Heavenly Azure Dragon, the God of the World

Chapter 124 is full of clever ideas! (Two chapters combined)

Qian Daoliu floated down and arrived in front of the Azure Dragon Temple.

At this moment, the believers were busy painting the Azure Dragon Temple.

Everyone's face was filled with genuine joy, as if what they were doing was a sacred thing.

Qian Daoliu looked at their faces and was slightly taken aback.

It's unclear when it started, but the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters have rarely shown this kind of faith anymore.

Those Soul Masters joined the Spirit Hall not because they believed in the Angel God, but for other reasons.

The Spirit Hall can no longer be considered a temple.

Qian Daoliu sighed, somewhat wistful.

He stepped into the temple, attracting the attention of the believers.

Although he wasn't wearing fancy clothes, it was obvious at a glance that he wasn't an ordinary person.

"My lord, are you also a follower of the Divine Lord?"

Someone asked boldly.

Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly and said, "No, but I'm very curious... who ordered you to build the Azure Dragon Temple here? You all seem very happy?"

The believers spoke up one after another:

"Of course, it's the divine decree of the Divine Lord!"

"We are so honored that the Divine Lord is willing to entrust this task to us! Of course we are happy!"

"I was originally a villager outside Tiandou City. During those three years of severe drought, I was so desperate that I was about to hang myself, but the Divine Lord saved me!"

"..."

Everyone began to feel grateful for the kindness of the Azure Dragon God.

They were extremely enthusiastic and wanted to attract Qian Daoliu to become a believer.

Qian Daoliu listened and nodded slightly. From the words of these believers, he could not see any sinister intentions from the Azure Dragon Temple.

These people are not some kind of force in disguise; they are simply driven by pure faith.

If Qian Daoliu had been young, and these believers had dared to build a temple next to the Spirit Hall, he would have definitely gone on a killing spree.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been called the executioner.

But now, he is older, and his heart is more at peace.

"Then I'd like to see just what kind of charm this Azure Dragon God possesses..."

Qian Daoliu smiled faintly and entered the temple. Inside, it was entirely built of wood and stone, with only one statue, a statue of the Azure Dragon God with two feet on his head.

From his perception, it was just an ordinary idol.

Its most distinctive feature is that it is carved from a single piece of wood.

But it definitely won't last long...

"Just the delusions of a bunch of mortals? Oh well, I actually took it seriously and was on high alert..."

Qian Daoliu chuckled, shook his head, and realized that he had been overly nervous.

He turned around, just about to step out the door.

A sudden energy fluctuation appeared behind them.

At the same time, a faint divine aura emanated from it.

This aura made him tremble with fear.

There was only one feeling, and that was... God!

This must be a deity, not some mortal power!
Qian Daoliu slowly turned his head and looked at the statue again. The originally stiff sculpture now had a kind of divinity, and was imposing without being angry. Especially the eyes, which seemed to be staring at him!

Such divinity surpasses even the angel statues in the temple!
"!!!" Qian Daoliu took a deep breath.

"You are Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall?"

Yu Mengzhang suddenly appeared, looked at Qian Daoliu whose whole body was tense, and asked indifferently.

Qian Daoliu was nearly startled again, staring at Yu Mengzhang in astonishment.

He hadn't seen Yu Mengzhang just now; now the other party had appeared out of thin air.

This...could be an ordinary person?

Especially since there was no fluctuation of soul power...

Qian Daoliu's mind raced with emotions. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "That's right, I am Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall and the patriarch of the Angel Clan..."

Yu Mengzhang nodded slightly, showing no hostility.

He came here not to destroy the Spirit Hall, but to keep an eye on them and prevent them from doing anything "foolish".

"Is Lion Douluo still alive?"

As he spoke, Yu Mengzhang waved his hand.

Instantly, the entire Azure Dragon Temple was transformed, becoming a unified whole, as if connected to the earth, and imbued with a sense of divinity.

The believers noticed the change and rushed to the temple entrance, where they all knelt down in worship.

"Greetings, High Priest...!!!"

"Long live the Divine Lord! Long live the High Priest!"

"..."

They all prostrated themselves in worship.

In fact, their blessings, "Long live the Emperor!", sound more like a curse.

If Yu Mengzhang really lived to be ten thousand years old, then we would be at a huge loss.

He didn't correct them, saying, "Get up. You did a great job."

As he spoke, Gu Tian pointed at them, and a golden light of merit flew out, spreading to these people.

From now on, they will hardly ever get sick or suffer from disasters again.

"Praise be to the Divine Lord! Praise be to the High Priest! It is our duty to do anything for the temple!"

Everyone expressed this sentiment sincerely, without a trace of falsehood.

They do indeed find inner satisfaction and peace in serving the temple.

Qian Daoliu was deeply moved as he watched this scene.

Does the God of Angels still have such believers today?
And is this the legendary high priest?

With a casual strike, Bibi Dong was forced to recuperate for a year before recovering. At the same time, he was also the "culprit" who indirectly caused the loss of all the elites of the Spirit Hall.
That being said, Qian Daoliu was quite obedient at this moment and had no desire to have a conflict with the other party.

With his level of cultivation, it's easy for him to tell the difference.

Who is inferior to me, who is stronger than me...

As for Yu Mengzhang, he couldn't see through him at all, so there was only one answer: the two of them were simply not on the same level!

This is just the High Priest; don't forget that the Azure Dragon God also makes frequent appearances.

Not long ago, they directly swept through the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

With such great courage, the Spirit Hall has no chance of competing.

Therefore, we can't force it!

We must never make enemies; instead, we must resolve our grudges.

"So it was the High Priest in person... The Lion has indeed returned. Upon learning of his foolish act, I severely punished him. Then I heard that the Azure Dragon Temple is going to build a branch temple here, so I came here specifically to wait," Qian Daoliu said with a smile.

Yu Mengzhang hummed in agreement. "He doesn't hold a grudge against me? Nor is he seeking revenge against the Azure Dragon Temple?"

Qian Daoliu immediately shook his head and said, "How could this be? I have also heard about the actions of the Azure Dragon Temple. For three years, they have been bringing rain and clouds to relieve the suffering of the people... which coincides with the principles of our Spirit Hall."

"We're too busy offering our support to even think about revenge."

Qian Daoliu's eyes widened, as if he knew it was true.

Yu Mengzhang's lips curled up slightly, and one could hear the pounding of Qian Daoliu's heart.

However, since Qian Daoliu was pragmatic, he was too lazy to go after them all.

He did not personally intervene to support the rebels, partly because he did not want to commit too many atrocities.

Of course, the main reason is that the dragon's energy is limited!
Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Mengzhang did not pursue the matter.

Fortunately, the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Azure Dragon Temple has not yet reached the point of no return!

On the contrary, the two sides could actually cooperate because of the bond of the rebel army!

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to speak to build rapport, the voice of Lion Douluo suddenly rang out from outside. "Big Brother...!"

Qian Daoliu's expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly rushed out the door.

Yu Mengzhang's figure flashed and he arrived at the door.

Among the worshippers kneeling outside, five figures appeared, all imposing and extraordinary, dressed in golden armor, clearly noble people, with a particularly powerful aura that made people dare not look at them.

They were the other enshrined members of the Spirit Hall.

"Brother, something seems off about the Azure Dragon Temple..."

"The Lion Douluo spoke in a loud voice."

"Shut up! This place is the abode of the gods, so it is naturally different from other places. You can't talk nonsense!" Qian Daoliu hurriedly interrupted, shouting coldly as he stared at the Lion Douluo.

Lion Douluo was startled and scratched his head. "Big brother, what are you doing...?"

The other worshippers were also taken aback.

They had never seen Qian Daoliu so panicked before.

At this moment, they noticed Yu Mengzhang standing at the door.

Yu Mengzhang was only nine years old and not as tall as Qian Daoliu.

They then realized that when they looked into each other's eyes again, they felt a sense of oppression and dared not look for long.

Only Lion Douluo frowned and muttered, "I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..."

Qian Daoliu saw Yu Mengzhang come out and quickly came to the side of the Lion Douluo.

With an anxious expression, he grabbed Lion Douluo's shoulder.

The Lion Douluo was completely bewildered.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Qian Daoliu said earnestly, "High Priest, this is my muddle-headed brother. He is not a bad person, but he is too foolish. I hope the High Priest can forgive him. The Spirit Hall is willing to pay any price."

"Lion, why don't you apologize to the High Priest? You actually offended the Azure Dragon Temple back then."

Qian Daoliu spoke to the Lion Douluo with a stronger tone.

The Lion Douluo bared his teeth, and Qian Daoliu's hand on his shoulder was exerting force, like an iron hoop, almost crushing him.

"pain……"

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw Qian Daoliu's tense expression.

That was a fear he had never seen before.

The Lion Douluo opened his mouth, lowered his head, and mumbled, "I'm sorry, High Priest, I was wrong back then. I... I was impulsive. Whatever punishment you deem fit, it's all right..."

Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lion Douluo was stubborn and might actually become an enemy of the High Priest.

Let the Spirit Hall face a true god...

That would probably be the time when the Spirit Hall is destroyed.

Yu Mengzhang glanced at him indifferently, "You mean you want me to come to Wuhun City?"

"!!!" Qian Daoliu opened his mouth slightly, his heart skipped a beat.

Having yielded to this extent, does the High Priest still not intend to let the Spirit Hall go?
"Pfft...!"

Lion Douluo gritted his teeth and knelt down. "I mean, if the High Priest comes to Spirit City, then I will personally apologize to the High Priest!"

"They came here, not because they dared to come..."

"It's fortunate that the High Priest arrived today, otherwise I would have been recuperating from my injuries in another city for the past year. That sacred dragon really hurt me badly..."

The Lion Fighter cleverly said.

"..." Upon hearing this, the other worshippers all bowed and pleaded for the Lion Douluo.

Although they didn't know how powerful the High Priest was, they knew what to do now, judging from Qian Daoliu's attitude.

"Please forgive me, High Priest..."

Qian Daoliu cupped his hands in greeting.

His heart pounded; now was the time to decide the future safety of the Spirit Hall.

Yu Mengzhang glanced at them and said indifferently, "Then forget it."

"Thank you for your mercy, High Priest!"

Qian Daoliu immediately expressed his gratitude.

The other worshippers also expressed their gratitude.

At this moment, another stream of light descended, revealing a "young man" with medium-length gray hair, exceptionally handsome, but in reality, he was a mischievous old man over a hundred years old.

"Big brother, what's going on? Are you about to make a move?"

"I am a chuckle," said the Light Feather Douluo.

"!!!"

Qian Daoliu's face changed in fright.

The other worshippers also had stiff expressions.

Why did this guy come back at a time like this?!
"Do not speak recklessly!!!"

"These words are too misleading... We are here to help the Azure Dragon Temple clean up the surrounding area..."

Qian Daoliu also used his wit to come up with an excuse.

Guangling Douluo blinked, startled by the shout. Then, seeing that the other worshippers were offering to help, he immediately understood and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Sigh! My bad, my bad! Big brother, I was just trying to slack off, but I didn't expect you guys to be starting all of a sudden..."

"Light Feather Douluo responded in agreement."

He glanced quickly at Yu Mengzhang, thinking that the person in charge of the Azure Dragon Temple seemed to resemble him somewhat.
Do they all like to pretend to be young?
Qian Daoliu asked respectfully, "High Priest, shall we then begin to lend a hand?"

"casual."

Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly, not caring.

He naturally knew what Qian Daoliu was trying to cover up.

However, there is no need to pursue the matter further; offenses committed unknowingly are forgivable.

However, if one knows that the Azure Dragon God is in person and still commits blasphemy, that would be truly unforgivable.

……

Thus, the seven top mortal natives of the Douluo Continent, who currently hold the highest authority in the Spirit Hall, led by Qian Daoliu, cleared the grassland within a ten-mile radius.

Even the small pebbles that hurt your foot are gone.

They didn't return to Wuhun City until late at night.

Upon arriving at the Pope's Hill, everyone's attention immediately fell on Qian Daoliu.

They made them work all day, they deserve an explanation, right?

Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief and did not reply to them immediately. He first entered the offering hall.

He knelt before the statue of the Angel God and prayed devoutly for a while.

Other offerings followed suit.

However, I only caught a fleeting glimpse of the statues inside the Azure Dragon Temple.

When they looked at the statue of the angel god again, they always felt that something was missing.

In short... it can't compare!

"Do you know that the high priest is not a mortal at all, but a true god..." Qian Daoliu suddenly spoke up.

Instantly, all the worshippers showed expressions of disbelief.

"!!!"

A true god walking among humans?

With such a figure existing, which force can rival him?
You might as well surrender now!
The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, said in a deep voice, "Doesn't that mean that the Azure Dragon Temple might have two deities?"

The other worshippers felt a chill in their hearts. Now they realized that Qian Daoliu's unusual behavior during the day was to save their lives!

If it weren't for Qian Daoliu's quick thinking, they would probably all have died under divine punishment!

"Our ancestors left behind some instructions regarding the gods..."

"Logically speaking, gods cannot linger in the mortal realm. Even if they remain there due to matters of inheritance, they cannot influence or interfere with mortal affairs. This is perhaps why the Azure Dragon Temple does not take the initiative to intervene..."
