Chapter 1626: I Offer My Body To Slay This Fiend
“Hahaha... you should worry, but not too much.” The Chief Libationist laughed. “The situation is not as troublesome as you think.”
“It is true that King Taishan is an ancient natural deity, but it is equally true that his power has hit rock bottom after surviving for untold millennia. As if that isn’t enough, his plot against Chu had ended in failure, and he even lost his wisp of consciousness to our young friend here. This worsened his injuries and made him even more impotent than he already is.”
“Show them, young friend Ye!”
“Got it.” Ye Qing waved the Earthly Sovereign Bell into the air, and everyone saw the wisp of consciousness trapped within its confines.
Everyone subconsciously held their breaths when they saw the wisp of consciousness. Everyone was wearing varying expressions, but no one said a word.
“Oh, I forgot to make the introductions. This is Ye Qing.” The Chief Libationist put a hand on Ye Qing’s shoulder and explained, “He is the one who singlehandedly captured King Taishan’s consciousness.” They weren’t unfamiliar with Ye Qing. After all, this was the man who singlehandedly blocked the Great Emperor of Fengdu and bought time for the Chief Libationist to complete his ritual.
“Most importantly, Ye Qing is the successor of the Earthly Sovereign and the man who will eliminate the Four Evils in the future.”
“Junior Ye Qing greets you all.” Ye Qing saluted the group respectfully after the Chief Libationist had introduced him.
It was clear that the Chief Libationist was trying to build a connection between him and the group. It was so that he could enlist their help against the Four Evils in the future. Naturally, he had no reason to turn down such a kind gesture.
Every bit helps against threats such as the Four Evils.
The group was silent once more, and this time they were all wearing stunned expressions on their faces.
“Hahaha... how courageous and responsible you are! As expected of the Earthly Sovereign’s successor! Heroes truly do come from the young!” The Old Heavenly Master was the first to snap out of his shock and offer him a compliment.
