Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236: Panic Spreads (Part 2)

Heavenly Demons’ monsters are divided into two types: one is that with overwhelming combat power, and the other is that with overwhelming abilities.

Some abilities rival Ali, and even more exaggerated, like the thing this time.

When Elder Long started making repeated mistakes, Chen Qing roughly guessed that the thing might have already arrived. Logically, it shouldn’t be so soon, but unfortunately, the facts seem to be just that.

Fear Calamity: Xingtian, one of the three most terrifying Demon Statues in the Spiritual Domain, and Chen Qing recalled that the other two were never completed because Pu YunChuan fell seriously ill back then and also frequently argued with the company’s top management before eventually resigning. This means that this thing is indeed the most terrifying creature in the Spiritual Domain.

It can create panic, regardless of level!

In the domain of some Evil Gods, such existences can only seduce ordinary people without spiritual power or with low spiritual power, leaving heavy traces that make it easy to find them based on those traces. But this thing is different; its existence can disperse, spreading rapidly in a range like an airborne virus.

And once infected, a person’s fear would be infinitely magnified by something.

And in this range, it almost disregards your level of spiritual power, only looking at your psychological endurance. Most people find it irresistible; the longer they live, the more complicated their minds, especially the Ghost King of Hell Ruler. Dragon Elder’s issues arose from being overly suspicious, burdened with too many thoughts, while the Path of Yin Yang is different. The Ghost Kings have seen many Resentful Spirits, whose minds are actually not normal for a long time.

This is troublesome...

Chen Qing’s face was grave. The Path of Yin Yang is an excellent target to exploit; the Resentful Spirits inside already distrust each other. Slightly creating panic makes it hard to explain away, and in such a situation, trying to recruit those Ghost Kings might be difficult. Moreover, if the things spread by the Path of Yin Yang infect inside, Jiangnan will also be affected.

But if the attack on the Path of Yin Yang is delayed because of this rumor, they might fall prey to various rumors. Look, even Wei Gongcheng is starting to doubt now.

For a moment, Chen Qing’s heart went cold.

He looked at the other, enunciating slowly: "What do you think?"

Wei Gongcheng was silent. He didn’t want to doubt Chen Qing, but once the idea formed in his heart, it seemed uncontrollable. He didn’t know what’s wrong with him; he used to entrust his life, but now... what’s going on?

"My lord... I..."

"I actually am not too sure either," Chen Qing opened up immediately.

"Huh?" Wei Gongcheng was taken aback.

"Sometimes I feel like it’s all pre-written in a script," Chen Qing suddenly sighed. "It seems like every time things go seamlessly, every time it seems like a near miss. To be honest, no matter the crisis faced, deep down, I’ve never been afraid. It’s as if I’m still playing a game, even if this game already relates to life and death, but this mindset just can’t be set aside."

Upon hearing this, Wei Gongcheng was silent for a while before finally saying, "Do you think there’s an external cause as well, my lord?"

"Perhaps..." Chen Qing smiled. "Perhaps I really am just a pawn to be sacrificed at the critical moment, but I still don’t believe I’ll change, maybe because I haven’t reached that point, at least now, at this moment, my past intentions have not changed at all!"

Chen Qing looked seriously at him: "Do you believe in me, Wei Gongcheng?"

Wei Gongcheng looked at Chen Qing dumbfounded; his eyes finally turned from hesitation to determination and he knelt down to perform a great courtesy, saying, "My lord, I believe you!"

Loyalty points visibly rose; Chen Qing nodded slightly, it seems the influence is not irremovable. Wei Gongcheng is inherently a person with strong personal beliefs; once he commits to something, he can eliminate external mental control.

But people like Wei Gongcheng are after all a minority, what about the others in the team?

Tian Heng aside, especially those from the Shen Family who are inherently thoughtful.

They are probably the key targets for turning.

We must capture that thing.

"Xingtian?"

At the position of the Buddha Kingdom, the Victorious Fighting Buddha was organizing materials. The North has now been entirely divided by the Siao Family and the Buddhist Nation, and the vast resources made the Victorious Fighting Buddha extremely excited, never having been this wealthy in his long life.

If they can seize the Northern Wasteland, the combat power of the Buddhist Nation would restore to its peak momentarily, and even if facing so-called Heavenly Demon invasions, he is confident enough!

But when he heard Old Liu mention the Demon Statue, his curiosity was piqued.

The fourth version is top secret, and not many know about it. Moreover, some names of Heavenly Demons can’t be uttered carelessly, as it seems you would be targeted.

"It should be considered the highest level of monster among the Heavenly Demons," Old Liu said solemnly. "At least as per current known materials, it’s the highest-level Heavenly Demon Pu YunChuan made, originally thought to be encountered only much later. Unexpectedly, it has arrived so quickly."

"Highest level?" The Victorious Fighting Buddha’s interest perked up immediately. He read many materials on Heavenly Demons, knowing that most of those creatures are super abnormal, and if not for the long distance, those things could only project for battles or undertake long journeys draining themselves. The world’s strong might not even be enough for a bite.

Now that the opposite’s highest-level monster has come, his natural fighting spirit was sparked, and upon hearing the news, his hands itched.

"Don’t get too excited." Old Liu glanced at him. "That thing isn’t something that high combat power can solve, and you wouldn’t want to encounter it."

"So, what kind of monster is it?" He was very curious, Xingtian in ancient Huazhong mythology seemingly can even make the Heavenly Emperor fearful. Pu YunChuan naming it thus made him very intrigued by its monster capability.

"It’s a kind of... how should I say it... formless yet lethal monster." Old Liu looked at the sky, expression solemn. "Actually, we knew about this monster’s data very early, so we tried to create several Evil Gods mimicking its ability, attempting to crack it. But the fact proved we underestimated it."

"That thing’s ability to spread fear is formless and traceless, entirely unable to locate. It can slowly erode your will in places you can’t see, and an empty, flawed lie can cause extreme panic, and the more panicked, the more powerful it becomes, the range expanding continually!"

"When Elder Long had issues, I was suspecting that thing might have come, because given Elder Long’s steady character, he shouldn’t make successive mistakes. A few foolish commands nearly doomed the Heaven’s Court, and thinking now, it was indeed excessive."

"Those Ghost Kings all went over to support the Siao Family’s Emperor, and that is probably not a good thing. That kind of thing is contagious, and the Emperor can’t have issues, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?"

"I have to go check it out first." Old Liu sighed, then said: "You continue distributing the resources; I will personally take a trip to the Capital."
