The Red-Clothed Woman's body trembled violently in shock.
Between her frantic movements, it was as if she was holding a hot potato.
She tossed it back and forth between her two hands like a circus trick, and only after a long while did she manage to catch the shrine steadily.
She looked closely.
When she saw the sculpture inside the shrine had exploded,
the Red-Clothed Woman was utterly stunned.
That was a terrifying, high and mighty deity!
That was also the strongest backing of Nili Hall!
How could it just explode like that?
Even if the deity's combat power wasn't at its peak, it could still exert fourteen levels of combat power. A terrifying deity with fourteen levels of combat power actually exploded just like that.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would believe it if she told them.
The Red-Clothed Woman sat on the ground, bewildered and at a loss.
Her mind was a blank, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.
After a long while,
the Red-Clothed Woman hugged the shrine, lay on the ground, and gathered the fragments of the sculpture.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?
Did you two see what happened just now?" the Red-Clothed Woman, looking deranged, asked Wen Chou'er and Ai Xi.
Wen Chou'er was also in shock, and when he heard her, he stammered, "To answer Hall Master, the deity's sculpture was pierced by a surge of power just now!"
"Pierced! Pierced!" the Red-Clothed Woman repeated the phrase continuously, her movements of collecting the sculpture fragments suddenly halting.
The Red-Clothed Woman seemed to remember something. "Fang Qingdi! It's Fang Qingdi! It must be him! Only he would be so strong, only he would have the guts to blaspheme a great deity! And only he would dare to challenge a great deity!
Fang Qingdi! It was bad enough that you insulted me in the past! Now you've even killed the deity I believe in! I will not rest until I get revenge! I will not rest until I get revenge!"
The Red-Clothed Woman knelt on the ground, clutching the empty shrine, and shrieked furiously.
Wen Chou'er and Ai Xi knelt below, not daring to breathe.
After a long time, the Red-Clothed Woman had collected all the fragments and held them in her palm.
Wen Chou'er continued, "Hall Master, this servant believes that the most urgent matter at hand is to leave this place. Our spatial coordinates here have been discovered by that Jie Liu Zi. Now that we no longer have the protection of the great deity, that Jie Liu Zi is very likely to come knocking! The consequences of that Bai Mao going berserk are unimaginable!"
The Red-Clothed Woman stood up. "Notify the Nili Hall members scattered outside. Everyone, proceed as planned, do not return here! Wait for my message!"
"Understood!"
Wen Chou'er thought for a moment. "Hall Master, where do we go now?"
The Red-Clothed Woman looked at the sculpture fragments in her hand, then placed the shrine and all the sculpture fragments into her spatial ring.
"We will find a way to summon another ancient deity!"
Wen Chou'er thought for a moment. "Hall Master, how do we explain this to Young Master?"
The Red-Clothed Woman turned her head to look at Ai Xi, who had remained silent.
Ai Xi immediately prostrated herself on the ground. The wrinkles on the Red-Clothed Woman's face twisted, and her eyes were filled with ruthless venom. "Two things: First, you go coax your godfather. Tell him we're moving, and you'll take care of him on the way. Second, you go tell Yanzhi to find a way to get close to Fang Xin. Use her seductive talents. If she can't kill Fang Qingdi's grandson, then she should drain him dry and turn him into a useless cripple!"
Upon hearing this, Ai Xi paused. "Grandmother, I want to go with Yanzhi!"
The Red-Clothed Woman cast a cold glance. "Ai Xi, when did you learn to talk back?"
"Ai Xi knows her mistake!"
The Red-Clothed Woman clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and slowly closed her eyes, looking up at the sky. The wrinkles on her aged face squirmed and twisted. "I will definitely get my revenge for this!"
Within the dark space.
The King of Slaughter sat askew on his throne.
Fang Xin's gaze was fixed on a cluster of essence blood suspended in mid-air.
This cluster of essence blood was the most energy-dense one Fang Xin had gathered since his debut.
It emanated terrifying energy fluctuations.
"This trash brought you enough essence blood to significantly boost your combat power! Do you want to devour it?"
Fang Xin quickly said, "Not yet, there are other people nearby right now! We'll do it when we find a safe place!"
Having said that, Fang Xin scrutinized the King of Slaughter, who sat on the throne looking exactly like him but with a completely different aura.
"Will you come out if I encounter an extremely dangerous situation?"
The King of Slaughter said lazily, "Not necessarily, because today is the night of the full moon!"
Fang Xin still wanted to ask something, but the King of Slaughter said, "Given time, this Bai Mao will surely cross the other shore and seize a divinity! Perhaps even more than one! How interesting!"
"Divinity? What divinity?" Fang Xin asked.
But when he turned his head,
the King of Slaughter's words still echoed in his mind, but the King of Slaughter, along with his throne, had vanished.
His vision blurred.
The darkness completely receded.
Bai Mao Zai pinched Fang Xin's cheek.
The six small red dots on Fang Xin's forehead had disappeared.
His soul had also returned to his body.
He seemed to have no problems, but Fang Xin still hadn't woken up.
After the healing-type Zhang Yaozu checked him, he scratched his head. "Xin Ge is fine now! Why isn't he waking up?"
"How about we try CPR?"
Shi Tailang licked his lips, rolled up his sleeves, and grinned wickedly, "I'll do it!!!"
Bai Yulin pushed Shi Tailang away. "You've French-kissed a toad, you're too dirty. Don't ruin Xin Ge; I'll do it!"
Zhang Yaozu rolled up his sleeves. "Everyone, move aside. I'm the healer, so I'll do it!"
Shi Tailang pushed everyone away, his face covered in the lewd grin of a villain harassing an innocent girl from a TV show. "My mouth can even kiss a toad well, so why wouldn't I be able to kiss Xin Ge well?"
As he spoke, he puckered his lips and leaned in to blow into Fang Xin's mouth.
Slap!
Fang Xin reflexively raised his hand and grabbed Shi Tailang's mouth.
He quickly pushed Shi Tailang away, involuntarily shivering.
"See! My mouth! Isn't it awesome!"
Zhang Yaozu habitually retorted, "Your mouth certainly is awesome!"
"Then you think... Huh? Zhang Meiqiu'er! Are you insulting me?"
Fang Xin opened his eyes and sat up, patted his head, and looked around.
"How do you feel?" Zhuge Heng asked.
Fang Xin blinked hard, then rubbed his head. "Much better! I owe you again this time!"
"Why are you being so polite with me!"
Hua Cheng leaned against the car. "You really scared the hell out of me! But then again, it's great to have an awesome grandpa! He directly killed that terrifying existence!"
At this point, Fang Xin looked at Zhuge Heng. In his vague memories, Bai Mao Zai seemed to have opened a spatial channel and could contact Fang Qingdi. "Can you contact my grandpa?"
Zhuge Heng shook his head. "No, I only created a special space and placed a spatial particle inside. He also holds a spatial particle. If I want to contact him, I open that space, the spatial particle will be triggered, and if Old Master Fang is available, he will pierce through the void. The reverse is also true. If Old Master Fang hadn't intervened today, I would have had to ask Old Master Ye for help!"
Fang Xin interjected, "Speaking of Old Master Ye, it's been half a semester since we joined the Ninth Division, and I still haven't seen him?"
