Boom!
The moment Yuan Daoshcng and Chen Zongtian stepped into the temple, they immediately felt a majestic aura sweeping over them like a flood. They were almost suffocated. Even their souls could not help but tremble as if they were about to be destroyed at any moment.
“Divine might!”
Yuan Daosheng’s heart trembled.
Although he had always heard of the legends of temple Gods, he had never seen any in person in the Great World of Divine Desolation.
Now, seeing a living temple God with his own eyes, even though he was a descendant of the Heavenly Master House and had extraordinary means, he still felt endless respect for the vast divine might.
If the figure before him made a move, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
After all, the other party was a True God!
Moreover, compared to the True Gods in the human world who cultivated Dao themselves, True Gods who achieved Dao through offerings were more powerful. At the same level, the latter could kill the former in an instant.
Therefore, Yuan Daoshcng had no choice but to treat the matter seriously.
“Fortunately, this God has just awakened and the offerings of the Leishan tribe are not flourishing. Otherwise, just His divine might alone would’ve been enough to suppress me to death.”
Yuan Daoshcng took a deep breath.
At this moment, he could not help but feel a sense of reverence in his heart.
Chen Zongtian felt the same. He didn’t dare to act rashly in the face of the temple God’s powerful divine might. Even though he still maintained his calm and composure on the surface, he was already terrified deep down.
“Don’t you want to worship the Great God? You can start now. Present your offerings and kowtow sincerely. If you are lucky enough to be favored by the Qingshan Great God, it will be your good fortune.”
Behind them, Tushan Cangyue’s cold voice was heard.
Hearing this, Chen Zongtian glanced at Yuan Daoshcng who was next to him. After receiving the latter’s signal, he took out the Geocentric Fire Lotus and placed it on the altar.
Then, he and Yuan Daoshcng knelt respectfully.
“Chen Zongtian greets the Qingshan Great God! May the Great God bless the Chen family, allowing it to prosper and not decline for eternity…”
“Chen Daoshcng greets the Qingshan Great God! May the Great God bless the Chen family, allowing it to prosper and not decline for eternity…”
The two of them pretended to kowtow respectfully.
To not arouse the suspicion of Tushan Mang and the others, Yuan Daoshcng even changed his name to Chen Daoshcng.
Unfortunately, they had never expected that Tushan Cangyue and the others had already seen through their real identities.
All of this was an act the latter was putting on.
Since they were uninvited guests from the outside world, how could they not leave something behind after coming to the temple?
“Heh…”
Looking at the two who were kowtowing piously, both Tushan Mang and Tushan Cangyue sneered.
However, they could not expose Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng’s intentions just yet. Instead, they cooperated very well and pretended to be oblivious.
“According to the rules of the Tushan family, when our people offer sacrifices to the Qingshan Great God for the first time, besides offering treasures as sacrifices, we also have to…”
“Chen Zongtian is willing to sacrifice 500 years of lifespan to show devotion!” Hearing Tushan Cangyue’s words, Chen Zongtian suppressed the anger in his heart, then gnashed his teeth and kowtowed again.
“Chen Daoshcng is also willing to sacrifice 500 years of lifespan!”
Yuan Daoshcng followed closely behind.
Although five hundred years of lifespan was not too much for him, it was not little either. He would remember all this on the accounts of the Southern Region’s grave robber aristocratic family.
After this matter was over, he would settle the score with the Chen family. With his methods and ability, the Chen family would not dare to go back on their word.
Therefore, Yuan Daoshcng was very cooperative.
“Tushan Cangyue is indeed qualified to be the High Priest of the temple. This is how one should treat the members of the Southern Region’s grave robber aristocratic family. In any case, they have plenty of treasures in their hands. Taking out one or two should not be a big deal.”
Within the statue, Lin Wudao smiled brightly as he watched Tushan Cangyue and Chen Zongtian’s performance.
He was increasingly satisfied with Tushan Cangyue.
This time, not only did he get a 30,000-year-old Geocentric Fire Lotus, but he also gained 1,000 years of lifespan.
Normally, such a good thing was something that could not be obtained even if one begged for it.
“As a grave robber aristocratic family with a history of more than ten thousand years, the Chen family must have a very strong foundation. This is a big fat sheep and I certainly can’t let them off so easily. That Yuan Daoshcng is also a scheming person. Since he is willing to cooperate so selflessly, he must also have designs on the Chen family. He’s very valuable as well. If there is a chance, I must think of a way to harvest some benefits from him…”
Lin Wudao calculated.
At this moment, he had already treated Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daoshcng as two fat sheep.
The two were ignorant of all this. Taking advantage of the time during the sacrificial ritual, they observed the environment and layout of the temple while using secret techniques to search for Chen Changqing and the others.
Soon, Chen Zongtian made a discovery, and his eyes fell on the bottom of the statue.
“Sir, I used the bloodline secret technique of the Chen family to search for them and found that Chen Changqing and the others arc hiding under this temple. They are still alive. I’ve already gotten a good grasp of the situation around the temple but it’s not a good time to act now. Why don’t we leave for now and wait until we’re ready before we act? After all, the Leishan tribe is not to be trifled with.”
Chen Zongtian sent a voice transmission.
Yuan Daoshcng nodded discreetly.
Seeing that he had agreed, Chen Zongtian’s heart was instantly set.
Following this, the two of them pretended to perform the sacrificial ritual for a while before preparing to leave.
“Are you leaving?”
Suddenly, Tushan Cangyue said slowly in her cold voice.
“Yes. This time, we came to the tribe to offer sacrifices to the Qingshan Great God. Now that we’ve done what we wanted, it’s time for us to leave,” Chen Zongtian replied.
“I see. The sky is about to turn dark. Thunder Swamp is filled with danger and terror. I’m afraid that if you leave rashly, your lives will be in danger. Why don’t you rest here for the night and leave tomorrow? Moreover, it wasn’t easy for you to return to the tribe. You should at least familiarize yourself with the environment here. At least by doing so, you wouldn’t be ignorant when you come here the next time. The Tushan family is very humane, after all.”
Hmm? Were they so kind?
Hearing Tushan Cangyue’s words, Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daoshcng were both stunned. They didn’t expect such a good thing to happen.
They didn’t believe that Tushan Cangyue would be so kind either.
Perhaps she had other plans?
Chen Zongtian was suspicious.
“Let’s stay here for a night. We do need to observe the situation of Thunder Nether Mountain and the temple. It’s always good to be prepared.”
“Sir, I’m worried that this woman has ill intentions…”
“There’s nothing to worry about. As long as we don’t act rashly, well be fine. It won’t be too late for us to act after we figure out the situation.”
“Very well. In that case, well do as you say.”
The two of them communicated in secret, then agreed to Tushan Cangyue’s invitation to stay in the Leishan tribe for the time being.
After that, Tushan Cangyue sent two divine servants to show them around.
“High Priest, those two are extremely vicious grave robbers. Why are you keeping them in the tribe? If they do something bold, won’t we be in trouble?”
After the two left, Tushan Mang asked in confusion.
According to his thinking, they should just chase Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daoshcng away to save unnecessary trouble.
“Those two aren’t here for our tribe. Their real goal is the tomb under the temple. There are people they need to save there. The reason why I kept them in the tribe and even gave them a chance to familiarize themselves with the environment was so that they could dig out the tomb. As long as they dare to make a move, well catch them red-handed and take the goods. Then, we can take the opportunity to squeeze out all the value from them. Other than that, I also want to see what’s so special about the methods of these grave robbers,” Tushan Cangyue said calmly.
Hearing this, Tushan Ya’s eyes lit up.
“The High Priest is smart. Now, I do hope that those people will make their move earlier. Hehe…”
His eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.
Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daoshcng were rich. He had long coveted them and was naturally looking forward to a suitable opportunity to strike.
“Everyone is an actor. This time, let’s see who’s scheming against whom, hehe…”
Lin Wudao, who had seen everything from within the statue, smiled.
At this moment, he was also looking forward to Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng’s actions..
