Ch.201: Dominate Heaven and Earth; Divine Being Breaks Through the Kiln 3
That giant stone statue was just slowly crawling up to its feet from the ground when the first
mountain spirit came crashing over.
Xie Lian recalled Hua Cheng had once told him back then when he was in Mount TongLu, those
three large mountains were a menace chasing him down, so naturally they shouldn’t be
underestimated. Xie Lian subconsciously planned to volley up and flip over its head, but he had
never controlled such an enormous divine statue before after all, and to manipulate such
complicated movements, he couldn’t help but mess up, so he didn’t manage to jump up but was
instead knocked down once again.
Rumble rumble, the heavens shook and the earth quaked. That giant stone statue fell down
near the royal capital of WuYong, and crushed an entire street. With just a slight movement, a
series of cracking could be heard, and it was the sound of those glamourous residences and
palaces being crushed and shattered by that giant stone statue. In the midst of all the shaking,
Xie Lian was almost thrown off again, but Hua Cheng firmly grabbed on to his hand and
exclaimed, “Come with me!”
He took Xie Lian and hopped onto the head of that giant divine statue with a few steps. Turns
out, this giant Flower-Crowned Martial God used a small crown to tie up its hair, looking like a
small balcony, and the two hopped onto that crown, finally finding a place to settle, much
steadier than standing on the shoulder and in the palm of the divine statue.
They hadn’t had a chance to relax when the mountain spirit came at them again, knocking that
giant stone statue back a few steps, but fortunately Xie Lian was prepared this time and wasn’t
knocked down, but he accidentally trampled another series of houses. Xie Lian couldn’t help but
ache for them, praying for forgiveness in his mind. Controlling that divine statue to clumsily slip
away to avoid those houses, Xie Lian wondered in bafflement, “Why do they keep chasing after
me to beat me down? What did I do?”
“It’s not that they’re chasing gege specifically, they’d chase down anyone to beat them down,
and gege looks particularly conspicuous right now.”
“Such a big creature, he is rather conspicuous...” Before Xie Lian finished his thoughts the three
mountain spirits came besieging together, surrounding this giant stone statue, and crushing
towards the centre incessantly, trying to crush the statue to pieces. That divine statue couldn’t
move a limb and Xie Lian couldn’t move either. He used all of his strength to have the statue
push back but it couldn’t move an inch, so it might not be able to defend!
He was just trying to think if there might be another way to escape and involuntarily backed up a
step, bumping into a chest. He looked back and Hua Cheng grasped his shoulders, “Let
everything go and fight! Don’t worry, none of them are your match. There is nothing in this world
that can stop you in your step!”
His chest was like the strongest of shields, and suddenly, Xie Lian was filled with confidence, a
wave of refreshing currents flowed through his body, and he gave it his all to strike back,
breaking through the siege!
Rumble rumble, those three mountain spirits were forcibly pushed miles a mile away, and dust
flew, rocks fled, smoke and debris rolled. However, after they were pushed back they
immediately came forth again, ready to attack once more. Xie Lian’s hands instantly changed
into several hands seals, “DO, NOT, BLOCK, MY, WAY!”
That giant stone statue leapt into the air, its feet landing over the head of two of the mountain
spirits, then its hand rested on the hilt of the sword hung on its waist – pull out the sword!
This entire string of movements flowed like streams of clouds and water, and that giant stone
divine statue completed the actions fluently, its might like a long stretch of a rainbow without any
hesitation, no different than the real person. Sucking in a breath, Xie Lian shouted, “I’LL CUT
Y... Uh, I won’t cut you yet, hold on???”
He was already prepared to swing a glorious sword and cut the mountains into valleys yet
unexpectedly, when the sword was pulled out, it didn’t feel right. When he looked up, he
instantly sweatdropped. That giant stone statue certainly pulled out a sword, but... there’s only a
hilt in its hand. What’s going on???
Where’s the blade???
Xie Lian was dumbfounded while Hua Cheng on the side, dropped his face and supported up
his forehead with two fingers, “...Gege, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you, I didn’t carve the blade of
this divine statue. It’s my negligence.”
“...”
But of course!
Hua Cheng had carved this statue upon the inner stone walls of the Kiln, and in a standing
posture that giant stone statue’s robes were flowy and layered, the sword on the waist was
concealed beneath the sleeves unexposed, so only a hilt was carved. Before the divine statue
was injected with spiritual powers and started moving, since it didn’t have a blade especially
carved, naturally a blade wouldn ‘t just magically appear.
Hua Cheng frowned slightly, his expression solemn, “It’s my miscalculation. It’s not exquisite
enough, next time I will carve out every detail.”
“...” Xie Lian could tell he was serious and quickly said, “No no no, it’s already very exquisite.
Really!”
In any case, there was no blade so the mountains couldn’t be cut. Thus, Xie Lian instantly
changed battle tactics – bolt!
He hastily directed that giant stone statue to jump off from the head of those two mountain
spirits, tossing that useless stone hilt behind, and opened its legs to continue its mad run. The
two stood on the crown atop of that divine statue’s head as wild winds blew at their faces, their
black hair, white robes and red sleeves flipping and fluttering. Even though they were fleeing
they painted a beautiful image. A silver butterfly flew next to Xie Lian’s ears and transmitted a
few human voices. He instantly seized the butterfly and called out, “Is that Feng Xin and Mu
Qing on the other side? Is Lord Rain Master and General Pei there too?”
Sure enough, familiar voices came from the other end through the butterfly.
“I say, Your Highness,” Pei Ming said, “There’s no need to be so loud when asking questions?”
“Ah, sorry, I have too much spiritual powers at the moment, let me control it a little.” Xie Lian
said.
“...”
Mu Qing’s voice came too, “What? Did you just say you have too much spiritual powers? You?”
“Have you all met up?” Xie Lian asked, “Where are you?”
“We’ve met up with General Pei, General Pei Junior, and the others, and everyone is in the
woods near the WuYong river. We’re about to retreat to the outside.” Mu Qing said.
Feng Xin’s voice came, “What’s going on on your end? A strong unusual movement seemed to
have come from the Kiln just now! Do you need us to go back and assist?”
Xie Lian quickly replied, “No need! You just stay there and we’ll come pick you all up very soon,
we’ll talk then! Ah, we’re already here!”
Ahead was the dried up WuYong river, and that giant stone statue crossed the gully and
crouched down next to the dense forest. Coincidently, Xie Lian saw Feng Xin and Mu Qing also
come out of the woods, looking around, seeming to be searching for them. However, they were
looking in the wrong direction, and they never thought to look up, so they didn’t see Xie Lian and
Hua Cheng at all. Feng Xin said to the butterfly, “Your Highness you’re not here yet? Where are
you?”
Xie Lian cupped his hands by his mouth and yelled towards the bottom, “I’M HERE ALREADY,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUP, LOOK UP, ABOVE YOUR HEADS!”
“...”
Only then did the two notice that they were shrouded in a gigantic shadow and they looked up
uniformly.
Thus, they both saw at the same time an incomparably gigantic “Xie Lian” that was currently
crouched down by the forest, looking downwards at them. There was even a very Xie Lian like
friendly smile on its face.
Hua Cheng couldn’t be bothered to spare a glance at the two down below, and he stood on the
side hugging his arms, his demeanour lazy. Xie Lian waved to the bottom, “DO YOU SEE ME?
OVER HERE!”
However, because the visual shock of this gigantic version of “Xie Lian” was too great, it was
hard to notice anything else at first glance. Mu Qing’s entire field of view was completely
overtaken by this face, and he mumbled, “...I haven’t gone mad, have I?”
Both of Feng Xin’s eyes were filled with this face too and he mumbled, “...What the fuck, what
the fuck, what the actual fuck, what in the fucking world is this thing???”
Xie Lian, “Uh...”
Hua Cheng raised his brows, looking as if he exerted an immense effort to hold back his laugh.
Truth to be told, there really was never anyone who had ever seen such a large and incredibly
realistically sculpted divine statue. In the past, the largest divine statue belonged to Jun Wu, but
even that one only reached halfway of this giant stone statue...
Feng Xin and Mu Qing were both too shocked, and Xie Lian had to yell a few times before they
found where the real one was located. The others all came out of the woods one after the other,
and when they looked up, almost all of them were so shocked by this giant divine statue that
they almost twisted their necks and feet. Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and made
that giant divine statue lay its hand on the ground, opening its palm, “The Kiln Volcano has
erupted, the fires are going to scorch this area soon, and there’s also three mountain spirits who
might catch up soon, so come up quick, I’ll take you all away!”
The party climbed up the hand of that divine statue and each found their place to settle. Xie Lian
smelled that suffocating smell of sulfur in the air, and when he looked back, that black smoke
and flying dust were rapidly spreading, so he closed the palm of that giant divine statue and
stood up, continuing its large steps forward.
After Pei Ming and the others got over their shock they were fine, but Feng Xin and Mu Qing still
never came back to their senses. This was probably because they were both too familiar with
the faces, demeanour, and physique of the owner of this divine statue, so after having it
magnified to such a size, the shock was particularly strong. Feng Xin was already standing on
top of this divine statue’s shoulder but was still stewing in disbelief, “Just who did this? Who
carved this? How come I’ve never seen this before? I’ve never even heard of it before?”
Hua Cheng smiled fakely, “There’s way too much you haven’t seen in this world.”
Although he didn’t clarify who, but almost everyone, especially Feng Xin and Mu Qing, locked
down on the same answer:
THIS GUY DID IT!
“I almost can’t believe this...” Mu Qing said, “How are you moving this thing? Just how much
spiritual powers does this need? Do you have enough? I thought you don’t have any spiritual
powers?”
This time Hua Cheng didn’t answer. Xie Lian stole a glimpse at him and pressed his fist to his
mouth, answering ambiguously, “Um, well...”
“If there isn’t any you can borrow, am I right? Such an easy thing.” Pei Ming said.
“Hahahaha, yea...”
Along the way, when the various monsters and demons saw lava pouring down, blazing fires
blowing crazily, they also realized that things were going wrong, and when they saw people
were climbing up that giant stone statue, they all cried out, “WAIT FOR ME TOO!”
“ME ME ME, I’M COMING TOO!”
“TAKE US, TAKE US!”
However, Hua Cheng said, “Get the hell down.” And a wave of silver butterflies flew out,
shimmering a chilling light, and then there was wailing and howling down below. Yin Yu was
cradling Gu Zi who was sound asleep and he called out from below, “CHENGZHU! Your
Highness! The empty-shelled people and Corpse-Eating Rats from before suddenly became
rowdy and they started moving in large groups, looking like they were heading out of Mount
TongLu!”
The Rain Master on the other hand, was riding the black ox, watching the sky intently, “Those
creatures inside the black clouds also seem to want to fly outside.”
Her words were true. Those creatures writhing inside the black clouds were all resentful spirits
that thirsted for fresh, live flesh to possess, and become the human face disease. There
weren’t any living beings inside Mount TongLu, there were only monsters and ghosts or
heavenly officials they couldn’t penetrate, so of course they wanted to get out. Millions of
contorted human faces dragging their long tails of black smoke swirled like deformed snakes
and worms above in the sky. Xie Lian’s hands trembled slightly but still said, “Mount TongLu has
a barrier, nothing outside can come in, and nothing inside can go out, so those resentful spirits
shouldn’t be able to fly out for the moment...”
Yet unexpectedly, before he finished Hua Cheng suddenly clutched his hand. Xie Lian’s heart
tightened at the same time by the gesture and quickly clutched back, “What is it? Have I drained
too much? Sorry sorry, I should conserve my use after all...”
One of Hua Cheng’s hands was covering his right eye, “That’s not it. Gege, you don’t have to
worry about that. It’s Mount TongLu’s barrier. It’s broken.”
Xie Lian was stunned, “What? Broken?” He only just said not to worry because there was a
barrier, what the heck???
“It’s broken.” Hua Cheng said. “It was probably White No-Face who opened it. Those things,
they’re going to fly out.”
———–
Ch.202: Taking the Helm; Four Martial Gods Transform into a Sword
If they really did allow those resentful spirits to fly out, then wouldn’t that unleash a third
epidemic of the human face disease?
Xie Lian instantly cried, “WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO STOP IT!”
Below on the shoulder, Mu Qing’s black robes and hair were getting windswept and mussed,
“HOW CAN WE DO THAT?”
That giant stone statue abruptly stopped and roused clouds of dust and sand, “EVERYONE
HOLD YOUR BREATHS FIRST!”
Then, that flying black smoke that had been right on their trail caught up. That giant stone statue
raised a hand and smashed, the winds of that smash shook the heavens and quaked the earth,
and if this was on the ground, it would’ve been a gale that could uproot centuries old trees.
However, there were nonetheless still a part that were broken up and another part that were
blown away. Xie Lian couldn’t bear the sight of it and said, “If only there was a sword!”
As if seeing right through what he was thinking, Hua Cheng said, “Gege, there is a way to get a
sword.”
Xie Lian was delighted. “How?”
“This we’ll have to see if your heavenly colleagues down there would be willing.”
“If you’ve got a way then just say it, stop cajoling him!” Feng Xin said.
Xie Lian had pretty much guessed it however, “Are you saying, have General Pei and the others
come together and transform into a sword?”
“That’s right.” Hua Cheng said, “Heavenly officials inside Mount TongLu have their powers
restricted, but there’s several martial gods here, so if four of them transform into one spirit body
and strike together, their might should be considerable.”
Pei Ming was the first to respond, “I think this idea is doable.”
Mu Qing however, was still doubtful, “Is it really? There’s how many martial gods here? Three,
right?” Pei Su and Yin Yu’s powers were completely gone and the Rain Master wasn’t a martial
god, so the only ones who could come together were Pei Ming, Feng Xin, and Mu Qing.
Pei Ming replied, “No, there’s four. Qi Ying is here too.”
“Huh?”
Yin Yu hesitated for a moment, then with one hand still holding Gu Zi, the other flipped out a
daruma doll. Yet unexpectedly, before the seal was released that daruma doll started shaking
wildly on its own, even shrieking in a noise that was sharp to the ears. That sound stabbed
everyone in the ears and they all reached up to cover their ears, and Yin Yu hastily sealed it
anew, flipping out a different daruma doll before he nervously explained himself, “Sorry about
that, I grabbed the wrong one. That was the Green Ghost Qi Rong just now. This one is the right
one.” Then, he tossed that daruma doll in the air, and it exploded into red smoke, the form of a
young man appearing within the mist, tumbling down.
That giant divine statue lifted a hand to catch him, and that young man slipped around and
landed steadily in its palm. He scratched that curly hair stained with a head full of blood and
looked up, then saw a large group of people and became confused. Yin Yu had already snuck
behind someone’s back to hide but was instantly picked out by Quan Yi Zhen, and he jumped
up and shouted, “SHIXIONG!”
“...”
In an instant, Quan Yi Zhen came stomping up. However, Yin Yu got headaches just seeing his
face; he’d rather listen to Qi Rong shriek for three days and three nights than speak one more
word with Quan Yi Zhen. Fortunately, Pei Ming snatched Quan Yi Zhen away, “Come come
come, time to get to work, Qi Ying. Have your reunion after work is done!”
Quan Yi Zhen was profoundly confused, plus he was biased against Pei Ming and seemed
ready to punch his face, but then he looked up and saw Xie Lian was up there, his hands
clapped in a prayer towards him begging sincerely, “Please and thank you, Qi Ying.”
“...”
While he didn’t understand the situation at all, still he scratched his head and joined the ranks.
For Mu Qing to become a sword for another martial god, he wasn’t without opinions, but now
that they managed to put four together in a group, he couldn’t just say he wouldn’t do it, so he
stayed silent. Thus, upon the palm of the divine statue, the four formed a line in the order of Pei
Ming, Feng Xin, Quan Yi Zhen, and Mu Qing.
Hua Cheng leaned his elbows on the edges of the crown platform and took a glance, “Isn’t the
order of the last two reversed?”
Logically, the order Pei Ming, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Quan Yi Zhen would’ve made more
sense, since in comparison, Quan Yi Zhen’s spiritual powers weren’t too stable, so if he was
situated in the middle of the sword, it might ‘snap’ halfway if it was swung too aggressively. Xie
Lian wiped a face of sweat, “No, it’s not. Feng Xin and Mu Qing should never be placed
together, because they just might start beating each other up halfway through, so there must be
someone in between to separate them.”
Hearing this, Hua Cheng raised his brows, his expression seeming to say please have them
beat each other to death, that’d be great. When they looked down again, the spiritual light
suddenly emitted from those four bodies, stronger and stronger, spreading out, forming into one
body until finally, they became a sword of spiritual light!
The moment the sword took shape, that giant stone statue toss it into the air, reached out, and
gripped it!
With a sharp sword in hand, Xie Lian was like a tiger with wings added, his might increasing
exponentially, and he struck out!
Those resentful spirits with long black smoke tails screeched unceasingly when slashed through
by this sword of spiritual light, then abruptly stopped. Chasing after them on the tailwinds of
victory, Xie Lian’s sword danced like wild flowers, slashing millions of ghosts into shattering
pieces, like the winds blowing apart fragmented clouds. Wherever the blade swept through, it
was as if fireworks exploded in the sky, extremely beautiful to see. All the monsters and demons
down below were stupefied by the sight, and only when the thousand tonned boot of the giant
stone statue came stomping over did they remember to flee. Just as Xie Lian was engrossed in
all the slashing, suddenly, that giant stone statue seemed to have stumbled a step, like it was
going to fall forward, and Xie Lian hastily used the sword to support it off the ground, steadying
it somehow. The martial gods who formed the sword array also asked, “Your Highness, what’s
going on?”
“Keep fighting! They’re gathering again!”
Xie Lian had controlled this giant stone statue for so long and was feeling slightly tired, his head
covered in sweat, his mind also in high tension, “It’s nothing! Just...”
It’s just all the spiritual powers had been burnt through, that’s all!
He whipped his head around, and Hua Cheng was standing but inches behind him, seeming like
he was just about to reach out for him. So, Xie Lian stop caring for everything else and went
right ahead.
He glomped over and cupped Hua Cheng’s face with his hands, slightly tipping his toes, closing
his eyes before he pressed his lips over.
Feng Xin: “...............”
Mu Qing: “................”
Quan Yi Zhen: “?”
Pei Ming: “Ho ho.”
It wasn’t enough just cupping Hua Cheng’s face, and since it was going to be the same either
way, Xie Lian thought he might as well suck more, so his arms circled around Hua Cheng’s neck
tightly and kissed deeper. All the fatigue earlier was completely swept away, his body was
suddenly filled with spiritual powers again. However, the giant sword of spiritual light in the grip
of the giant stone statue was instantly clamouring with riotous noise.
Feng Xin was shaken, “WHAT IS THIS??? WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING??? YOUR
HIGHNESS???”
Xie Lian accidentally choked a bit and only then did he break away. He didn’t dare to look down
and shouted towards the sky, “B-BORROWING SPIRITUAL POWERS! I’M ONLY
BORROWING SPIRITUAL POWERS! VERY PROPER!”
Mu Qing was shaken too, “YOU DIDN’T NEED TO DO THIS TO BORROW SPIRITUAL
POWERS THOUGH??? JUST A SLAP OR A SMACK OR SOMETHING WOULD’VE BEEN
FINE???”
Xie Lian didn’t know what he was saying anymore either, and cried randomly, “HAHAHAHA!
I’VE BEEN SEEN THROUGH! IT’S NOT ACTUALLY BORROWING ANY SPIRITUAL
POWERS! HAHAHAHA...”
Seeing him like this, Hua Cheng also laughed out loud, cupping Xie Lian’s face back with his
hands, leaned down and kissed his forehead, speaking gently, “Don’t be nervous, gege.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“...”
Strange as it was, after this, Xie Lian suddenly returned to normal. He pretended he hadn’t
heard Feng Xin and Mu Qing’s voices, and he grew solemn, forming hand seals once more.
That giant stone statue pulled the sword of spiritual light from the ground and started slashing
and cutting wildly, like it was filled with inexhaustible strength!
Quan Yi Zhen was suddenly filled with awe and respect, “So that really was borrowing spiritual
powers just now! It’s suddenly become strong!”
Mu Qing couldn’t hold back and exclaimed, “COMPLETE BULLSHIT, WHAT DO YOU KNOW...”
But soon after he probably thought there wasn’t a need to explain such a thing to a man child
like Quan Yi Zhen and forcibly changed his tune, “Yes, that’s right, it was borrowing spiritual
powers.”
Pei Ming laughed heartily, “That’s right indeed, but you can’t borrow like that so casually,
understand, Qi Ying?”
Feng Xin gaped, “??? WHAT ARE YOU ALL SAYING??? DO YOU ALL ACTUALLY BELIEVE
THAT???”
However, while the might was increased, those resentful spirits enveloped the entire sky after
all, and there wasn’t a giant net that could capture them all, and upon seeing how powerful this
giant god was, they all fled, flapping their tails as they swam far away, like giant human faced
tadpoles. Xie Lian cried, “CHASE THEM!”
Yet unexpectedly, it didn’t make chase for a few steps before that giant stone statue slumped
over without a warning suddenly and fell to the side!
Enough spiritual powers were clearly taken just now, and Xie Lian was in excellent form, so
there was no reason for this to happen. Just as they were about to fall over, Xie Lian looked
down, and only then did he notice that on the leg of this divine statue, there was actually a giant
hole as shattered rocks rolled down from the wound. The figure of a white clad man came
fluttering down from it, and landed languidly, vanishing immediately afterwards, truly elusive like
ghosts, leaving not a trace. It was White No-Face.
He actually broke the leg of this divine statue with his bare hands!
The giant stone statue came falling down in giant rumbles, and fortunately, everyone riding the
statue was no one common and they reacted extremely fast, leaping off first and landing safely.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng leapt up the chest of the divine statue, and Xie Lian tried commanding
it to stand but it struggled greatly. That giant divine statue sprawled on the ground and slowly
writhed, looking rather miserable. Within the sword array, Mu Qing questioned, “How is it? Can it
still stand?”
“Did powers run out again?” Quan Yi Zhen asked, “Do you need to borrow more?”
“No. This isn’t a question of spiritual powers.” Pei Ming said, “Qi Ying, there’s no need to
remember any of that, forget it completely.”
“It’s probably injured significantly...” Xie Lian said, “It wouldn’t be suitable to move again.”
While rocks felt no pain, if they still forced it to stand and continue to fight, the injured leg would
probably fall off completely. This wouldn’t just be a matter of striking powers be greatly cut
down; this was after all Hua Cheng’s most heartfelt masterpiece, and also Xie Lian’s favourite
divine statue. If it was really going to be destroyed like that he couldn’t help but feel hurt over it.
Seeing the enemy collapse, the resentful spirits in the air danced wildly with mad joy and darted
all over; were they just going to watch with open eyes those creatures escape to the outside?
He glanced to the side and Hua Cheng’s expression was one of dark anger. It was anger
towards White No-Face, and after humming for a moment he spoke up, “Gege...”
Just then, from within the dense and thick black clouds, a ray of bright white light came peeking
through, as if somewhere above the clouds, something had lit up.
Soon after, a second ray, a third, then a fourth...
Countless shining white light came piercing down, penetrating through the gloomy clouds and
stabbed through the resentful spirits!
This white spiritual light that was so strong it was going to blind was no stranger to all the
heavenly officials present. After all, the entire Heavenly Court was always endlessly enveloped
and shined down by this spiritual light.
Jun Wu had come!
———-
Ch.203: White Emperor Comments on the Mysterious Guoshi
When that powerful spiritual light shone onto the resentful spirits, large fields after fields of
smokes and clouds dispersed and dissipated, and a martial god donned in white armour with a
sword in hand broke through the clouds.
It certainly was Jun Wu. When the party saw him it was as if they saw their parents had come
back to life, and they all cried, “AH!!! My Lord!!!” and tears streamed down their faces. Each of
Jun Wu’s steps radiated glory as he languidly landed, “Don’t panic, don’t panic. Is everyone
alright?”
The four within the array of the spiritual light quickly disassembled, and transformed back to
their original forms. Pei Ming asked, “My Lord, aren’t you guarding the Heavenly Capital? How
come you’ve come personally?”
“Lord Rain Master had informed me through the communication array that the barrier of Mount
TongLu had broken. The circumstances are dire, and so I’ve come,” Jun Wu replied.
Everyone looked over and the Rain Master was still riding atop that black ox, and all thought
inwardly, so that was it. Since the barrier had broken, then surely the communication spells
would be functional again. Their heads were all rushed with blood earlier, their minds filled with
nothing but destroying the spirits, and almost no one thought to communicate through the array.
Xie Lian took a step forward, “My Lord, it’s White No-Face. He’s come back.”
Jun Wu nodded faintly, “I figure he would be relentless.”
“He’s very elusive,” Xie Lian said, “Now that you’ve come, we don’t know where he’s gone
hiding.”
“No matter,” Jun Wu said, “Let’s settle these resentful spirits first before we go seek him.”
Everyone looked to the sky and the rolling black clouds in the air were currently being purified
by the powerful light Jun Wu had brought forth. Pei Ming said, “So the birth of a new ghost king
has been stopped this time, right?”
“I guess so,” Xie Lian said, “After all, the one who broke through the Kiln wasn’t anyone but
this.” Everyone’s eyes moved uniformly to the side. After Xie Lian stopped controlling it, that
giant stone divine statue was still obediently lying on the ground, a gigantic, exquisitely sculpted
thing. Now that it’d fallen down, it also looked like a small mountain. Xie Lian stood near it and
raised a hand to pet its cheek, then he turned to Hua Cheng, “San Lang, what should we do
with it?”
Hua Cheng had looked thoughtful and when he heard the question, he snapped out of it,
“There’s no need for gege to worry. Until it’s been repaired, let’s leave it here for now.”
“Can it be repaired?” Xie Lian asked.
“Of course, as long as there’s the stones of the Kiln,” Hua Cheng said, “I will have it repaired for
sure, and have it stand once again.”
“Then let’s leave it for now,” Xie Lian said, “The volcano over by the Kiln is still erupting, who
knows when it’ll be safe again.”
