Chapter 456 - 456 Crimson Python!
456 Crimson Python!
Moreover, the methods of obtaining them were somewhat different.
The power of virtue must be supported by incense. As for the power of faith, as long as there were devout believers, it would be constantly nourished.
For example, a person who believes in God. To prevent the God from obtaining the power of faith, the only way was to make the faith of his believers collapse or kill them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop the supply of power of faith.
Lin Qiye thought to himself. “In my previous simulations, although I didn’t deliberately use the power of faith, I could feel that power and use it at will no matter where I was.
“However, although I could gather the first wave of power in the Wuxiang Village, I can’t replenish it later.
“Could it be that I didn’t obtain the power of faith but the power of virtue?”
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tightly. He sensed it carefully and confirmed that his power was no different from the power of faith.
He couldn’t help but feel even more puzzled. “What’s the problem?”
Just as Lin Qiye was frowning, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
“My Lord, something has happened!”
Chang Shi and Gui Nian came to the hall with panicked expressions.
Lin Qiye gathered his thoughts and turned around. “What are you panicking for? What’s the matter?”
His face was expressionless, but he had some doubts in his heart.
These two guys had been with him for more than a year, and their temperament and knowledge were far from what they had been.
However, they were still in a panic. It seemed that it was not a small matter.
“My Lord, it’s an invasion! We’ve just received a message from a good friend. The crimson python of the Shifang Mountains has come out of his seclusion and is coming with his army!”
Chang Shi’s voice sounded a little rushed.
Lin Qiye only nodded slightly.
He knew that other than being on good terms with Lonemoon, the three demons also had a close relationship with many other demons in the nearby mountains.
Therefore, he did not doubt the authenticity of the news.
Lin Qiye had already thought of the possibility of the village being invaded.
After all, his influence constantly radiated to the surrounding villages, and the incense he was enjoying had already aroused the jealousy of many people.
It was only a matter of time before they were invaded.
“My Lord! We can’t underestimate this matter. The python is a brutal and violent person. As he kills his way over, the people in the villages along the way will suffer!” Chang Shi said nervously.
He was not worried that Lin Qiye could not deal with Chi Jin. Or rather, he and Gui Nian had never thought of this possibility.
What made them nervous and worried was that Chi Jin would definitely slaughter the villagers of the nearby villages.
If they didn’t stop him, Lin Qiye’s incense offerings would drop drastically!
“What’s the python’s strength?”
Lin Qiye’s expression remained calm, as if he had absolute confidence in his strength.
Chang Shi replied respectfully, “Chi Jin has just come out of seclusion. He might have already reached the Embodier Realm. However, the biggest threat this time is not him but the tens of thousands of lesser demons under him!”
Chang Shi didn’t continue.
He believed that Lin Qiye could easily kill Chi Jin. However, he could not face tens of thousands of demons.
Even Lin Qiye could not guarantee that he could protect all the villagers from so many demons.
If that happened, many villagers would die, and the survivors’ faith would collapse, making them lose their offerings and future.
Lin Qiye knew the underlying meaning. However, he wasn’t afraid of anything.
“It’s not a big problem. Where’s the python now?” He said indifferently.
“My Lord, Chi Jin has been clearing out the demons in the nearby mountains along the way. Although his progress has been delayed, he will arrive here the day after tomorrow at most!”
Chang Shi shared all the information he had obtained from his exchanges with his friends.
The day after tomorrow?
Lin Qiye nodded.
The distance between Shifang Mountains and Tata Village was about a few hundred miles.
However, the middle path was blocked by the mountain road. If it were an ordinary person, it would take more than ten days on a fast horse.
That group of demons could arrive the day after tomorrow if they were able to clear the obstacles along the way while moving forward.
They couldn’t be ignored.
Lin Qiye stretched his back. Just as he was about to step forward and solve the problem himself, the Butcher’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Your subordinate, Butcher, requests an audience!”
Lin Qiye looked at the door, wondering why Butcher was here.
When he had gone to treat him before, that guy had still been addicted to ancient books, as if he wouldn’t come out of seclusion until he had made some progress.
But now, he had found Lin Qiye so quickly.
“Come in,” Lin Qiye said.
Butcher strode into the hall and knelt with a thud. He said respectfully to Lin Qiye, “My Lord, I just heard what Chang Shi said and came to ask for your permission.”
Chang Shi and Gui Nian turned to look at him.
Before they came to look for Lin Qiye, they had indeed discussed Chi Jin for a while.
They also noticed Butcher was beside them, but they didn’t try to hide it.
Lin Qiye looked at Butcher and raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, he had an idea.
“Permission? What permission?” He pretended to be confused.
Butcher’s words were sonorous as he said solemnly, “My Lord, this subordinate requests to go and stop the crimson python!”
“Hey! You’re too arrogant. Do you know that…”
Seeing that Butcher wanted to stop Chi Jin to show off, Chang Shi immediately stood up.
However, Lin Qiye waved his hand and interrupted him before he could finish.
Lin Qiye looked at Butcher and said without emotion, “You’re going to stop the crimson python? Do you know that he has tens of thousands of demons under him?”
“I know.” The Butcher replied respectfully.
Lin Qiye stared at him for a while, then revealed a faint smile.
“Alright, I’ll leave the task of stopping him to you.”
After saying this, he turned to look at Chang Shi and Gui Nian. “Chang Shi, Gui Nian.”
“My lord.”
Chang Shi and Gui Nian wanted to stop him, but they didn’t know what Lin Qiye was thinking. They could only swallow their words.
“You two and Hou Tu have many friends, do you?” Lin Qiye said to the two demons.
“Yes, my Lord. Most of the demons in the nearby mountains are acquaintances with us. Now that they are being threatened by Chi Jin, many have sent us messages, asking us to discuss countermeasures,” Chang Shi bowed and said.
Lin Qiye smiled.
“Good. You can go and contact the demons on the various mountains. Let Butcher lead the way and fight against the python’s army together.”
Hearing this, Chang Shi and Gui Nian were not surprised.
However, they couldn’t help but worry.
They had come to meet Lin Qiye to get him to show up. Then, they would contact their friends and ally to fight against Chi Jin’s army.
But now, Lin Qiye had sent out Butcher and even let him lead the way.
The two demons immediately felt a little uncertain.
Was Butcher strong?
He was strong. At least to them, he was an undefeatable existence.
However, he was nothing compared to Lin Qiye.
In Chang Shi’s eyes, even if Lin Qiye were to step in personally in this crisis, there might still be some losses.
If it was Butcher, who was much weaker than Lin Qiye, wouldn’t they have to bear even greater losses?
“Is there a problem?”
Seeing that Chang Shi and Gui Nian didn’t answer, Lin Qiye’s face darkened, and he glanced at them.
The two demons were shocked and quickly replied, “No, no problem. This subordinate will definitely complete the mission perfectly!”
They did not dare to disobey Lin Qiye.
With their relationship with Lonemoon, Lin Qiye might not harm their lives.
However, if they wanted to continue following him in the future, they would probably only be able to do so in their dreams.
“Alright, let’s hurry. If we delay any longer, the village in front will be lost.”
Lin Qiye waved his hand.
Butcher and the three demons quickly bowed and took their leave.
After they left the Holy Infant Temple, Chang Shi complained with a distressed face, “You’re too arrogant! How can you possibly deal with Chi Jin?”
Gui Nian did not speak, but his expression did not look good.
Seeing this, Butcher looked at the two demons and said sternly, “You don’t believe in my strength?”
“How do we believe that? Chi Jin was very likely to have broken through to the Embodier Realm, and he had seven peak Nascent Soul Realm guards. So what if you entered the Embodier Realm earlier than him? The seven guards alone are enough to hold back an Embodier Realm expert!
“If you are tangled with them, what will happen to the remaining tens of thousands of demon soldiers? It’s already amazing that we can gather ten thousand with our friends and their subordinates!”
Chang Shi loudly vented his dissatisfaction.
