Chapter 174 Preaching

Napolidisley didn't offer much explanation; he simply asked Helmaine for a room in the Night Abbey and settled in.

"You believe that Napolidisley is the true form of Fabti?" Amanisis's voice slowly echoed from the darkness.

Although Napolidisri's words were intended to sever the connection between Him and Fabti, Amanisis, who knew Hermaine well, could tell that Hermaine did not believe, or rather, did not care.

In response, Helmani smiled faintly and said, "That's not important. What I want is the uniqueness of the 'Abyss' and the 'divine abomination' characteristics that Fabuti brought to the Abyss. Whoever can take it will live."

The combination of ascetics and reconnaissance machinery is the source of Helmaene's confidence in searching the Abyss, and Helmaene has not yet mobilized the extraordinary beings from other avenues within the Church of Man.

If Napolidisley can bring the uniqueness of the "Abyss," then we can cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. If Napolidisley cannot bring it, then we will continue to exert pressure and coerce.

Hermaine's current advantages make it easy for her to overwhelm the uniqueness of "The Abyss".

Had the "Fallen Mother Tree" shown no signs of descending through the uniqueness of the "Abyss," Helmaenie would have even plotted an opportunity to spar with this old friend.

"Once you obtain the uniqueness of the 'Abyss,' must you seal it away?"

Helmani nodded: "That's not all. While sealing the Abyss, I also want to try to use it as a springboard to establish a closer connection with the Western Continent."

Amanisis said in surprise, "You said that the Western Continent would not be unsealed for a long time... but judging from how much you value the Western Continent, it must be quite important to you."

"After all, this is the place where the Source Beings are sealed. And—"

Helmayne said:

"Since the Outer Gods are temporarily holding back and dare not infiltrate any more of their power, I plan to take this opportunity to 'talk' with that one..."

"Therefore, I need more anchors to stabilize the situation."

"The human church has developed to its peak... but the western continent that we came into contact with by chance is a blue ocean of faith."

"You want to preach in the Western Continent?" Amanisis glanced at Helmani, not believing that Helmani was only after the anchor.

Helmani chuckled softly, “In the Western Continent, to be precise, it is ‘preaching.’ Just as the name ‘God’ spreads throughout the world, the name ‘Origin’ cannot and should not be neglected.”

……

Northern part of Zhongzhou, Beast Mountain.

It attracted many martial arts practitioners who came to search for treasure.

On her way here, Zhou Mei followed Hermaine's instructions and changed the way she sealed the bamboo sword from the conspicuous divine silk to a talisman engraved on the bamboo sheath.

She then tucked her bamboo sword into her waistband and, following the marks left by Napoli Disri, led her horse to an inn at the foot of a mountain.

"Do you have any rooms available?"

"Does this look like there's still some left?" The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, then turned and called to the waiter, who was busily moving among the customers in the lobby.

After shouting his wares, the manager added with a playful tone, "However, there are a few vacant farmhouses ahead, reserved by a wealthy merchant for passing martial artists. If you, heroine, are confident in your skills, you might want to give them a try."

"A wealthy businessman?" Zhou Mei asked in surprise.

The shopkeeper chuckled, "Everyone says there's some treasure left behind in Beast Mountain. A wealthy merchant, who wishes to remain anonymous, wants to use this opportunity to make some friends in the martial arts world and go into the mountain together to search for the treasure..."

Although she didn't believe the shopkeeper's explanation, Zhou Mei still led her horse in the direction he indicated. She hadn't found Napoli Disley yet and needed to find a place to stay in this small town at the foot of the mountain.

Soon, Zhou Mei saw a fighting arena that was completely surrounded by a crowd.

On the arena, two martial arts practitioners were engaged in a fierce duel. A conspicuous notice hung next to the arena, stating that only the person who became the champion at sunset could rest in the courtyard.

Although the champion selection can indeed select some experts from the gathered martial arts practitioners, how can the wealthy merchant guarantee that these selected experts will be at his beck and call?

Moreover, how could a wealthy merchant dare to get involved with a treasure that is sought after by those who have received the talisman? Is the merchant ignorant and fearless, or does he have ulterior motives?

Now that Zhou Mei has been ordained, the fights between the martial arts practitioners on the arena are full of flaws. However, she hasn't seen such a lively scene in a long time, so she led her horse to find a good vantage point to watch the fight.

But in this chaotic place, Zhou Mei, who had a good spot to watch the competition, was approached by someone.

"Make way!" A rude arm appeared from the side, threatening to shove Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei frowned, intending to step aside, but the man's actions became increasingly outrageous, his hand stubbornly reaching for Zhou Mei's waist.

This is an attempt to take advantage of the situation.

Zhou Mei didn't make any obvious move; she merely tugged the reins slightly, and the horse beside her kicked the burly man away.

The dust and smoke from the heavy fall of the burly man even caused the onlookers to disperse.

"You!" another angry shout rang out.

They seemed to be the burly man's companion.

The man assumed that Zhou Mei was injuring people by relying on the animals beside her, so he leaped up, trying to snatch Zhou Mei's horse first.

But in mid-air, he was kicked back by the horse, which did not turn around, with a precise hind leg, and landed next to the burly man.

Among the onlookers, some figured out the reason: either the horse was intelligent, or the horse's female owner was strange.

"you--"

"You vixen! My servant merely touched you by accident, why are you attacking me!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Zhou Mei then turned around and saw that there were quite a few people on the other side. Apart from the two who had been kicked away, it was obvious that the remaining seven or eight people were a group.

Moreover, it was immediately obvious that the two leaders were women disguised as men.

Those who call her a witch are the ones standing slightly to the side.

Even though she was dressed as a man, the woman's ample bosom was still undeniable, even with a corset.

She even dressed up as a man... To call it self-deception would be an understatement.

She also has quite a temper.

Zhou Mei ignored it.

The other woman, standing in the main seat and clearly the mistress, saw Zhou Mei's appearance and her eyes lit up. She made no attempt to hide her admiration and said:

"What a beautiful woman!"

Zhou Mei frowned.

The woman dressed as a man casually opened her folding fan and, with a self-satisfied air of elegance, invited Zhou Mei to join her:

"Since this lady wants to watch the match, why don't she join us? It'll be more exciting with more people."

Zhou Mei felt a little uneasy under the woman's gaze; the woman's eyes were somewhat... hungry.

At that moment, the voice of the Primal Elder rang in her heart, reminding her that the woman standing to the side was Napolidisley in disguise.

Is Napoli Disri the woman of great calamity?

Zhou Mei was surprised. She withdrew her gaze, which was meant to investigate Napoli Disri, and merely glanced at the self-proclaimed charming woman in men's clothing before leading her horse away.

But Napoliddisley blocked her way at that moment, and, like a servant, crossed her arms and snorted:

"My master is of noble status. Since he has invited you to watch the match, how can you be so disrespectful?"

"Ah Yao, you mustn't be rude."

The woman dressed as a man tugged at the disguised Napoli Disri, staring intently at Zhou Mei, and said:

"Since you're here to watch the competition, you must enjoy a lively atmosphere. As the saying goes, 'When you're traveling, you rely on friends.' We share similar interests, so why not become friends?"

Senior Napoli Disley is deliberately trying to entangle me... Is this woman in front of me special?

Zhou Mei thought to herself, then looked at the woman.

The woman met her gaze and said, "I am the owner of this courtyard. Since you seem to have nowhere to stay, please rest in my courtyard for the night after watching today's arena match."
