Chapter 536 - 536 The Holy Infant Is Invincible
536 The Holy Infant Is Invincible
Cultivators and fiends of all shapes and sizes passed by the streets from time to time.
The little girl was in the crowd, but she wasn’t scared by this scene. Instead, she seemed to be used to it.
“Damn you, fatty. You tricked me into coming out and ran away. When we get back, I’ll ask big sister to give you a good beating!”
After making sure that the owner of the previous shop was fine, the little girl quietly slipped away.
She mumbled along the way and didn’t dare to talk to anyone as casually as before.
Although the little girl looked naive, her intelligence was not low. By listening to the passersby’s conversation and observing their actions, she quickly made a judgment.
This area of thousands of miles was the territory of the Holy Infant.
“To occupy thousands of miles of land in the secular world, he must have stepped into the immortal realm…”
“Fatty has been here before. I’ll ask him. Maybe I can get some news about him.”
The little girl mumbled as she walked and quickly made a decision. She was going to find the local boss and ask about the whereabouts of a fat guy.
However, she was unfamiliar with the place, and it was not easy to get in touch with the local boss. Therefore, her first goal was to find out information about the Holy Infant.
On the side of the road, an old man was sitting in the shade in front of the door. The little girl immediately noticed him when she passed by.
She put on a dazed and adorable look and came to the old man’s side.
She didn’t say anything and stood there quietly.
The old man waved his fan, thinking the little girl was passing by. Seeing that she didn’t leave for a long time, he couldn’t help but sit up and ask, “What’s the matter, little girl?”
The little girl shook her head.
“Mother said she was going to the Holy Infant’s place and told me to wait for her here.”
From the little girl’s point of view, the people here all had fanatical worship for the Lord Holy Infant.
If she rashly asked around, she might attract attention.
Therefore, by pretending to be harmless and ignorant, she could reduce the possibility of being suspected.
And that was indeed the case.
After hearing her words, the old man immediately smiled.
He looked at the crystal dress the little girl was wearing and said kindly, “It turns out that you’re also from other places to pay respects to the Holy Infant. But recently, the City God Temple is crowded, so you might have to wait a while.”
For a mother to leave her child on the side of the road at will was extremely abnormal, but because Tata Village had been harmonious in recent years, the children in and out of the village no longer had to worry about getting lost or being kidnapped.
Therefore, the old man didn’t find it strange. Instead, he thought the little girl’s mother was not a newcomer but a loyal and devout believer.
Seeing that the old man was not on guard against her, the little girl asked, “Grandpa, who is the Holy Infant? He seems to be powerful. Can you tell me more about him?”
“You’ve never heard of the Holy Infant?”
The old man revealed a surprised expression.
In his opinion, since the little girl’s mother was a believer in the Holy Infant, she must have told her about it.
“No. I got lost in the past, and my mother only found me two days ago.”
The little girl saw the old man’s doubts and quickly made up a lie to cover it up.
“I see. Then I’ll tell you the story of the Holy Infant.”
The old man didn’t suspect her. He only knew that the little girl had gone missing and was found by her mother.
“What do you want to hear? There are many stories about the Holy Infant!”
The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said, “I want to know everything. Please tell me from the beginning.”
The old man was happy to have someone willing to listen to him in his free time.
He pulled the little girl to the side and sat down.
“Our Lord Holy Infant is like a Bodhisattva who has descended to the world to save all living beings. For example, when he first arrived at Tata Village, he saved many children from the hands of fiends. Not long after that, he even blocked the attack of thousands of demons at the village entrance. That scene was really…”
The old man was beaming with joy as he spoke while the little girl listened quietly.
“To the west of Xiangjiang, there was a ferocious crimson python with tens of thousands of fiends under its command. After hearing that our Tata Village was rich, it immediately led all the soldiers to attack. However, Lord Holy Infant was extraordinary and had long anticipated that the python would cause trouble, so he sent five of his subordinates. They killed the python’s subordinates, and even the python was killed by Lord Butcher on the spot!”
The content of the old man’s story was quite different from the situation, but it was already the version closest to what happened.
The little girl continued to listen quietly. From the old man’s story, she could roughly judge Lin Qiye’s strength as below the Incarnation Realm.
After all, the old man’s cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The power he thought was unbelievable was only relative to him.
“Besides, some time ago, Lord Holy Infant defeated an Immortal Level expert and then led an army to fight the four Immortal Level fiend lords and made them run away! It’s because of the Lord Holy Infant’s protection our people can live and work in peace, enjoying all the good fortune!”
“Huh?”
The sudden mention of recent events caused the little girl to exclaim on the spot.
She had thought the Lord Holy Infant was an Incarnation Realm cultivator at the most, but she did not expect he could even defeat an Immortal Level master.
