Chapter 362: The Young Supreme Venerated One is About to Arrive at His Loyal Li Family!
“I still feel more comfortable kneeling…”
The strong warrior from the Profound Sky Hall said with a dignified posture. As a Sage, he understood a profound truth:
Strong warriors must have the nobility of the strong, while weak ones must possess the humility of the weak!
The reason he had survived until now was entirely due to Zhou Tong’s charity.
All the information or knowledge in his mind had belonged to Zhou Tong since the moment he was defeated.
Although he had spoken it himself, if he dared not to cooperate, Zhou Tong would use the Soul Search Technique, gaining information while also destroying his soul.
Moreover, Zhou Tong truly honored his promises and did not abandon him after using him, which is a rare and precious quality.
In this vast world, bustling and busy, who would adhere to agreements with the weak? At least he wouldn’t!
At this moment, Zhou Tong looked down from above, able to bestow both mercy and dominance at will.
The so-called mercy meant granting him an equal pact.
The so-called dominance meant that he could reclaim everything at any time!
It was precisely for this reason that he did not choose to leave, because he could not, and did not dare!
“O mighty young Supreme Venerated One, I admire your strength and compassion, and feel ashamed of my foolishness and narrow-mindedness!”
“From this day forward, please allow me to prostrate myself at your feet, listen to your teachings, bask in your brilliance, and I would not regret even a thousand deaths!”
The strong warrior from the Profound Sky Hall said devoutly. From the moment he knelt down, all barriers in his heart had disappeared, accepting Zhou Tong as his god.
This was indeed due to the “Respecting the Divine” rules, but as a Sage, he could resist the legal principles to some extent. His submission was more from the heart!
Even though he knew that everything Zhou Tong did was to make him submit, he still gladly accepted it.
Compared to the ruthless rulers of the Profound Sky Hall, he would rather choose to follow this promising young man.
“Get up!”
Zhou Tong patted his shoulder. The other party did not hesitate and immediately stood up straight.
To strong warriors, Zhou Tong’s words were commands; he had no need for modesty and no qualification for it.
Seeing this scene, those around widened their eyes, unable to understand what Zhou Tong had done to so easily subdue a Sage!
Such means were truly unfathomable.
“No need to be so formal.”
Zhou Tong smiled and patted his shoulder. “What is your last name?”
“There’s no need for formalities…”
“What is your last name!”
“My last name is Xia; you can call me Xia Qiu!”
“Alright, Xia Qiu, do you dare to accompany me to the Li Family?”
Zhou Tong spoke straightforwardly.
“Going through fire and water, I will not refuse!”
Xia Qiu cupped his hands, very decisive.
But then he added, “Though I fear nothing, I should still point out the dangers involved. In my view, it is extremely difficult for us to invade the Li Family with our current formation!”
“What difficulty is there?”
Chen Ju frowned and asked.
“There are a total of four difficulties. First, the Li Family worships a remnants of a Holy King; in a critical moment, they can trigger the Holy King’s Spiritual Energy Surge to doom their enemies!”
“Very true!”
Li Mu nodded; this was not a secret to him.
“Second, the Profound Sky Hall’s strong ones have already set up a sacrificial formation above. Recklessly stepping in, even a Sage would find it hard to retreat unscathed.”
“Third, the Mountain Ghost Clan has also laid down prohibitions there, making it easy to defend but hard to attack, impregnable.”
“And fourth…”
At this point, Xia Qiu’s voice trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing immense fear, but he still spoke out.
“If I am not mistaken, the Hall Master’s daughter should also have arrived at the Li Family.”
“Who is she? Is she very powerful?”
“Extremely strong; in my view, she is on par with you. Of course, this is just based on my limited perspective.”
Xia Qiu cautiously said: “This woman is named Xuan Ge, said to be a natural Supreme Venerated One. At birth, she had the cultivation of a peak Semi-Sage, and for twenty years has not cultivated, yet is now close to the level of an Intermediate Sage!”
“How is this possible? You must be lying!”
Once these words were spoken, everyone refused to believe it. Zhou Tong was already outrageous enough; this person was even more unbelievable!
In fact, they did not realize that in terms of outrageousness, this level could not be compared to Zhou Tong.
Being born a Semi-Sage is rare, but not impossible.
For example, with the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill Ninth Level, once initiated, the fetus can cultivate spontaneously in the mother’s womb. The mother can even transfer part of her strength to the child, making it a strong one right at birth.
“Is that all?”
Zhou Tong asked lightly, causing the crowd to sigh; it seems that only a prodigy could be accustomed to other prodigies.
“I don’t know much more; although I once fought her, neither side used their full power. However, I can assure you that if she were to take it seriously, I definitely wouldn’t last long!”
Xia Qiu’s eyes sparkled with memories: “I heard others say that this woman has a talent for predicting the future, and also bears a set of rules!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong became intrigued.
“Rules, huh? It is indeed worth fighting her!”
Zhou Tong’s eyes turned, and a plan formed in his mind.
“From now on, we will split into two groups.”
He looked at the close-by Empress: “I will pretend to be captured by Xia Qiu and my uncle, and follow them directly to the Li Family.”
“And you will bring the team to apply pressure from the outside. After drawing out their means, just hold your position and await my signal!”
“This is too risky!”
The Empress said with concern.
“Without entering the tiger’s den, how can you get the tiger’s cubs?”
Zhou Tong’s mouth curled into a confident smile.
“Alright, but you must be careful!”
After giving instructions, Zhou Tong’s gaze fell on the other two corpses of the Profound Sky Hall strong ones.
“Old Xia, can I borrow these two from you?”
“Of course, feel free to borrow. They bullied the weak and deserve to die… Huh? What use is borrowing dead people?”
“Hehe… Sometimes, dead people are more useful than living ones!”
Zhou Tong waved his hand, and blood-colored runes infused into the two corpses. Very quickly, the two stood up, vivid and lifelike, causing Xia Qiu to gasp in astonishment!
“You actually utilized the ‘Fate Puppets’ to this extent, even controlling the dead!”
“Just a trivial skill; it’s merely borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha!”
Such a calm tone made him even more shocked. At this level, even the Hall Master couldn’t achieve this.
“Greetings, Master!”
The two puppets said respectfully, with no signs of stiffness in their expressions.
“You two, return to the Profound Sky Hall right now. Investigate the details of my parents and adoptive father, and report back at once if there’s any news!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The two obediently responded and were about to leave.
“Wait a moment, don’t return empty-handed; bring back some local specialties.”
Zhou Tong took out ten spirit talismans, placing them into the two’s arms, a scene that made everyone feel a chill!
…
At this moment, the Li Family was in complete chaos. Except for the strong ones from the Profound Sky Hall and the Mountain Ghost Clan, a shadow of panic loomed over everyone else’s heads.
Since receiving information that Zhou Tong and the others had successfully left Profound Yin Mountain, all onlookers could no longer sit still.
They did not expect this army to be so formidable, slaying gods and buddhas along the way, facing almost no obstacles.
Even the previously swayed neutral strong ones began to abandon the idea of helping the Li Family.
Because just moments ago, another proclamation had quietly spread within the Li Family.
Its content can be summarized in one sentence…
The mighty young Supreme Venerated One will arrive at his loyal Li Family today!
