Chapter 1905: The Mysterious Altar

This is a terribly terrifying scene.

It’s ten thousand times more horrifying than scenes in horror movies.

The altar in the rainforest, nine eerie statues, vines seemingly possessing life and consciousness, and ninety-eight wax corpses—all of these together present a sight reminiscent of Hell.

Especially those vines.

They seem to be extracting energy from the female corpses and then feeding it back to the nine statues.

Whenever the energy from the female corpses is absorbed by the vines, a layer of frost covers their surface. Only when the power completely merges into the statues, does the frost disappear, before starting to draw the female corpses’ energy again...

This scene repeats constantly, cycling endlessly.

Guardian Ma paused for a moment on the outskirts of the altar before slowly approaching the statues. As he stepped forward, the vines seemed to become aware, starting to entwine like venomous snakes, ready to strike.

If outsiders witnessed this, they would surely be scared to death.

Even though Guardian Ma has seen this scene many times, his heart is still apprehensive. But he quickly took out a pendant from his pocket—an exact mini replica of the nine statues.

It looks similar to the Ancestor Statue Xiao Zheng obtained in Europe.

As soon as Guardian Ma held the pendant in his hand, the snakes-like vines, poised for attack, finally calmed down. They slowly unfurled, revealing the nine statues.

Seeing this scene, Guardian Ma let out a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly stepped forward and picked up the last sculpture with only the eyes carved, holding it tightly to his chest. Although the statue is carved from stone, it isn’t heavy, instead, it feels slightly light.

Guardian Ma did not feel tired carrying it alone.

Once he got the statue, he prepared to set off immediately with it, heading to Zhonghai City to rendezvous with the Saintess.

Although Demon God Sect’s forces in the southern provinces have suffered a blow from Xiao Zheng, some remnants survived. With help from these remnants, Guardian Ma successfully carried the statue into Zhonghai City and finally met the Saintess.

After days apart, the Saintess’s face still looked unpleasant.

The last punch Xiao Zheng delivered during their confrontation nearly killed her; surviving now is nothing short of a miracle.

Upon meeting the Saintess, Guardian Ma immediately placed the statue beside her and said, "Saintess, this time, I come by order of the Sect Hierarch to join you."

"The Sect Hierarch asks me to convey that he hopes you can use the power of this statue to heal. Once you recover, go and kill the Evil God!"

Without further ado, he went straight to the point.

Upon hearing the name Evil God, both the old shopkeeper and the Saintess showed a hint of shock in their eyes.

Especially the old shopkeeper, he couldn’t help but frown after the shock, asking, "Why did the Sect Hierarch make this decision? Could it be that the one who broke into the contact point to snatch the flower list was the Evil God?"

They have been hiding here to heal for many days.

Aside from the shopkeeper venturing out once to deliver a message on the day of the incident, they’ve stayed in this place. Thus, they remain uninformed about the outside world’s happenings until now.

Upon hearing, Guardian Ma nodded and said, "That’s correct, the person who snatched the flower list was indeed the Evil God. This time, our losses were disastrous. The forces in the south were almost entirely wiped out, leaving us severely weakened!"

Hearing his words, even though the old shopkeeper and the Saintess didn’t personally experience the recent massacre, they could feel the brutality.

The Saintess nodded, but inadvertently aggravated her injury, making her face pale: "I understand. You go back and tell the Sect Hierarch that I will definitely kill the Evil God!"

When she said this, her eyes revealed little emotion.

It seemed to her that killing Xiao Zheng was as easy as crushing an ant on the roadside.

It’s not because the Saintess underestimated Xiao Zheng’s abilities; on the contrary, after having fought him once, she knew his horrors better than anyone. Her calm demeanor only stems from having abandoned concern for her own life and death.

In her view, the assassination of Xiao Zheng this time is a mission with no return.

Put simply, she has resolved to perish with Xiao Zheng.

Guardian Jin and Guardian Ma both understood the Saintess’s resolve clearly.

The two exchanged a glance, eventually sighing.

Guardian Ma then said, "I’ve delivered the Sect Hierarch’s orders. Since I have other tasks to complete, I must leave now. Please take care, Saintess!"

The Saintess made no movement, nor spoke.

In the end, it was Guardian Jin who rose and said, "I’ll escort you out, allowing the Saintess time to heal. Given the dire situation, there’s no time for us to delay further."

The two then left the room together.

Once the room was left with only the Saintess, she removed her black robe, revealing her exceptionally beautiful appearance again. Although not enchanting, it is pretty close.

Had it not been for her extremely poor complexion, her beauty would surely reach several levels higher.

After removing the robe, the Saintess placed her hands slowly on the Demon God Statue.

Then she began murmuring as if chanting some incantation.

Soon, a strange scene unfolded.

The originally dark statue emitted an eerie glow.

Subsequently, peculiar energy steadily flowed into the Saintess from the statue, causing her pale cheeks to quickly flush with red. Her aura also rose steadily...

Xiao Zheng was unaware that the Demon God Sect had already started retaliating against him.

After the siege incident, his life seemed to return to its former tranquility.

Every day was spent either accompanying Leng Ruobing shopping or picking up Chu Xiaoran from work. Otherwise, it was drinking and chatting with Mo Anna. Occasionally, he made a call to Su Zimo far in Europe; life could only be described as blissfully happy.

Today happened to be the weekend.

Chu Xiaoran was also at home since it was her day off.

Due to filming a new movie for the company, she spent almost every day on the set. Now, with the rare opportunity to take a break, she naturally clung to Xiao Zheng.

"Xiao Zheng! Shall we go out and play today?"

"I’ve been almost driven crazy by work lately! How about we go shopping together?"

Chu Xiaoran proposed.

Leng Ruobing immediately showed great interest in her suggestion.
