Zhu Rong looked at Shebi Shi and said with a smile, "Old Poisoner, it's been so many years, let's catch up."
Shebishi glanced at the halberd wreathed in flames in Zhurong's hand, swallowed hard, and said, "We can reminisce, but we can't fight."
"Hey, just reminiscing is no fun, let's fight and chat at the same time."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Rong slashed his flame-wrapped halberd toward Shebishi.
"Damn it, you really think I'm afraid of you? Go ahead and hit me!"
The corpse of Shebi was surrounded by countless black mists swirling with deathly energy, making it appear sinister and terrifying.
……
old Town.
Hongying arrived, soaked to the bone, panting heavily, with a black box on her back.
"Xiangnan, I've arrived in the old town. Where's Lao Zhao?"
"Junior Lin Qiye bids farewell to General Zhao Kongcheng on his triumphant return!"
Following the sound, Hongying looked up and saw Lin Qiye carrying Zhao Kongcheng's corpse, while Gu Tianchen, holding the head of the Ghost-Faced King, was slowly walking towards her.
……
A dozen minutes later.
A small, black, mangy dog walked along the ground covered in knife marks.
A small cloth bag was hanging around its neck.
Xiao Hei arrived at the place where Zhao Kongcheng had died in battle, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and spoke in human language.
"May your soul return!"
But after a long time, the soul-gathering pouch around his neck remained completely still.
"Will the soul return?"
Little Black Leper tried again, but the Soul-Gathering Bag still didn't react.
"That's impossible! Only a quarter of an hour has passed. The soul shouldn't have dissipated so quickly!"
Just as the little black toad was wondering what was going on, a mocking voice rang out from behind it.
"Wangcai, what are you looking for?"
Chapter 10 The Guardian Deity of Great Xia
Little Black Tortoise turned around and looked at Gu Tianchen, who had suddenly appeared behind him, with a look of surprise.
When did this guy get behind it? It didn't even notice!
A gray glint flashed in Gu Tianchen's eyes. In the vision of the Netherworld Eye, the little black mangy dog in front of him transformed into a huge black vicious dog, exuding divine might.
"The Celestial Hound under the command of the True Lord of the Mysterious Dao of Qingyuan, the legendary Sun-Swallowing Divine Lord, I have long admired you." Gu Tianchen greeted him with a smile.
Seeing that the other party had seen through his true identity, the little black leper simply stopped pretending and asked in human language, "Which Great Xia deity are you reincarnated from?"
The Celestial Hound could smell the aura of a Great Xia deity on the other party, but this aura was not from any of the Heavenly Court gods it recognized.
The gods of the Great Xia Dynasty are scattered throughout the Three Realms. Not all gods cultivate in the Heavenly Court, so it is normal for them to encounter gods they do not recognize.
If it weren't for the aura of a Great Xia deity emanating from Gu Tianchen, the little black toad would have already attacked and started biting him.
They take life and death lightly, and fight anyone who disagrees. Even that monkey that once swaggered around in the Heavenly Court, would bite without hesitation if its master gave the order.
"Relax, Celestial Hound. I mean no harm. I am the agent of the God of Fire, Zhurong," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.
"Zhurong, the God of Fire?!"
The Celestial Hound looked at Gu Tianchen with a surprised expression.
Unexpectedly, this kid is actually the agent of the ancient fire god Zhurong. But the fire god Zhurong died in battle in ancient times. How did he resurrect?
boom!
A purplish-red divine fire ignited in Gu Tianchen's palm, radiating a wisp of divine power.
Although the Celestial Hound did not recognize the Heavenly Flame, it could sense the ancient divine power contained within it, which was more powerful than any other divine flame it had ever seen.
Apart from Zhu Rong, the ancient fire god who controls the origin of fire, no other deity can cultivate such pure divine fire.
Even the Fire God of Heaven is just a younger brother, or even a grandson, in front of this person...
The Celestial Hound sniffed carefully and slowly said, "You possess more than just this one divine aura..."
"Hey, your nose is pretty good. What did you smell?" Gu Tianchen asked with a smile.
"A god skilled in using poison? Plague God Lü Yue? No, no... This divine power is far stronger than Lü Yue back then, not to mention that guy was listed on the Investiture of the Gods, his cultivation couldn't possibly have improved any further..."
"Alright, stop guessing. You might not even recognize him even if I told you. Call your master over; I need to speak with him," Gu Tianchen said.
Lin Qiye's house.
Yang Jin put down his chopsticks. "Mom, I'm full. I'm going to go find my brother."
My aunt said anxiously, "Why do you all like to go out in the rain? Remember to bring an umbrella."
"Mom, the rain has stopped."
Yang Jin walked out the door and came to the spot where the little black toad had summoned him.
Gu Tianchen used his Netherworld Eye to see a divine general, wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword and dressed in silver armor and white robes, appearing as a phantom soul three feet above Yang Jin's head.
The Pure Source Mysterious Way Manifests the True Lord, Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
"Erlang Shen, can I borrow a light?"
Gu Tianchen smiled as he looked at Yang Jin, who was walking over.
I don't smoke.
Gu Tianchen: (ー_ー)!!
Gu Tianchen briefly explained his situation.
Yang Jin nodded. "I see. No wonder I sensed the aura of the Witch Clan that day. It was you..."
"Therefore, I need your help. Give me a wisp of Samadhi True Fire so that Senior Zhurong can reappear in the world as soon as possible," Gu Tianchen said.
Yang Jin hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended his hand, condensing a Samadhi True Fire in his palm and transferring it to Gu Tianchen's hand.
Gu Tianchen absorbed this Samadhi True Fire and poured it into the Pangu Temple.
The Samadhi True Fire appeared in the main hall, then dissipated into a sky full of flames, and the mission progressed without any progress.
"Invalid? What happened?" Gu Tianchen frowned.
Zhu Rong said loudly, "The Samadhi True Fire formed by magic has no origin, so the Pangu Temple will not absorb it."
"Ah, this..."
"This won't do, Erlang Zhenjun. Could you give me a Samadhi True Fire containing the essence of the source?" Gu Tianchen asked.
Yang Jin shook his head with a wry smile, "To be honest, I only recently woke up from the cycle of reincarnation. The magical power I've cultivated these past few days is only enough to condense that Samadhi True Fire just now."
"Huh? You're so weak right now?" Gu Tianchen asked in surprise.
Yang Jin's face was full of helplessness, while the little black toad on the ground let out a series of low growls.
"Aside from regaining my memories of my past life, I'm no different from an ordinary person now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stood by and watched my brother's friend die on the battlefield to protect our family of three..."
Yang Jin clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The mighty God of War of the Heavenly Court, who once dominated the Three Realms, lost all his divine power and became a mortal in order to protect the Great Xia Dynasty. He could only watch helplessly as the Night Watchmen fought against the monsters.
His bitterness and guilt were no less than Lin Qiye's and the others'...
Gu Tianchen smiled and patted Yang Jin on the shoulder, “In order to protect the Great Xia, you did not hesitate to destroy the origin of the Heavenly Court and lose your divine power to transform into nine national guardian divine steles to resist the invasion of the mist and protect the millions of people of the Great Xia. Compared with those foreign gods who did not hesitate to sacrifice their own people in order to maintain their own divine kingdom, the gods of the Great Xia have done enough.”
"How fortunate is the Great Xia to have gods like you protecting it!"
Gu Tianchen bowed to Yang Jin.
Yang Jin wondered why Gu Tianchen knew so much, but then he thought about it and realized that Gu Tianchen was the agent of the ancient fire god. Senior Zhu Rong could not sense the existence of the Heavenly Court's origin. Combined with the nine national guardian steles on the border filled with the divine power of the Great Xia Dynasty, he naturally understood what was going on.
Yang Jin quickly helped Gu Tianchen up. “The people of our Great Xia have endured countless hardships yet remain steadfast in their self-reliance. Whether they are warriors who shed blood on the battlefield to protect their homeland or night watchmen who carry heavy burdens through the darkness, they dare to fight against the gods with their mortal bodies. They are the true guardians of Great Xia. I, Yang Jian, am unworthy of such praise.”
"Now that the outer gods are eyeing us covetously, and most of the gods of the Great Xia are still in the cycle of reincarnation and their divine power has not been restored, when will Senior Zhu Rong be able to appear in the world?" Yang Jin asked anxiously.
"I need to collect nine different flames to make Senior Zhurong appear. I've only found two so far. I came to you this time hoping to obtain the third flame, but unfortunately, the flames don't contain any essence, so they won't work." Gu Tianchen said with some regret.
“I mainly cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Five Thunder Techniques, and I am not good at fire-based magic. However, my brother Nezha is proficient in this art. Once he recovers his strength, he might be able to successfully give you the Samadhi True Fire containing the origin,” Yang Jin said.
"Alright, hurry up and recover your strength. Only the gods can defeat the gods. The people of Great Xia still need you. Until then, Great Xia is in the care of us, the Night Watchmen."
"If that traitor from Heaven ever wakes up, remember to let me know so I can borrow a light from him."
Gu Tianchen turned and left, waving goodbye to Yang Jin.
Yang Jin watched the receding figure, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"The people of our Great Xia have not relied entirely on the power of the gods, but on their unyielding belief in self-improvement, they have fought against demons, against gods, and against heaven and earth. With such a spirit, our Great Xia will not perish!"
Chapter 11 The Miracle of Cangnan, the Hope of Great Xia
Peace Bridge, Cangnan City.
Peace Agency, underground.
After saying goodbye to Yang Jin, Gu Tianchen secretly followed behind Hong Ying and Lin Qiye, and without anyone noticing, replaced the Divine Fire clone at the back of the group.
Even Lin Qiye, who was immersed in grief, did not notice.
"What to drink?"
Gu Tianchen looked at Lin Qiye on the sofa and asked.
Plain water is fine.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire 136th squad, Gu Tianchen effortlessly found a cup, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Lin Qiye.
"Thank you."
