Translator: 549690339

Time flowed by bit by bit.

Including Mr. Mao, all the Holy Sect followers knelt on the ground, silently waiting for Xuanwu’s arrival.

Even though 10 minutes had already passed.

Among them,

No one dared to get up.

Everyone present was a desperate person.

But this only meant they were willing to take risks for their interests.

If they accidentally showed disrespect to Xuanwu and were casually obliterated by him,

It would be a tragic death.

Another 10 minutes passed.

Step.

The sound of footsteps on the ground came from outside the church.

He’s here!

The crowd’s hearts shuddered, and they hurriedly lowered their heads even deeper.

Only Mr. Mao slowly raised his head.

He wanted to see

Whether the arriving Xuanwu was the one he was familiar with or…

Just when everyone thought that the church’s door was about to be pushed open,

Whoosh!

A blur flashed before Mr. Mao’s eyes.

A shadow instantly covered his pale face.

A figure,

Directly appeared before him.

His pupils contracted slightly.

Before he even had the chance to see the newcomer’s face,

He saw the iron plate hanging around the person’s waist.

The plate bore the image of Xuanwu.

As he had seen before, it was the symbol of Xuanwu’s identity.

The only difference was,

Compared to the one he had seen before,

This plate’s surface was adorned with deep blue rune patterns, giving it an extraordinary look.

The one who possessed this token, Must undoubtedly be Xuanwu.

No one had ever dared to impersonate him.

Therefore,

Mr. Mao didn’t even have the chance to take a glance at the other party’s face,

He immediately lowered his head.

“Greetings to Lord Xuanwu.”

The crowd behind him echoed in unison, burying their heads deeper.

Showing utmost respect.

“Greetings—Lord Xuanwu! ”

The crowd’s voices were rather subdued.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to express their respect for Chen Sheng.

The first reason was that,

The church was located in the urban area.

Although the location was remote, being too ostentatious would inevitably attract attention.

The second reason was that,

The aura surrounding Chen Sheng was too intense.

The fear-inducing momentum, akin to divine might, made everyone present feel as if a massive boulder was pressing on their hearts when he first appeared.

Even breathing became incredibly difficult.

Even Mr. Mao was no exception.

“Mmm.”

“You may rise.”

After the two had paid their respects,

Only then did the low and hoarse voice ring out,

Everyone felt the pressure on their bodies lighten.

It seemed Xuanwu had withdrawn his aura.

As expected!

With his head lowered, Mr. Mao’s eyes narrowed.

This voice,

Definitely didn’t belong to the Xuanwu he had seen before,

And it wasn’t any of the four strong people he was familiar with from the Four Saints.

“Thank you, sir!”

Mr. Mao slowly got up.

As he looked forward,

Chen Sheng’s current appearance was revealed to him.

For a moment,

Mr. Mao was slightly lost in thought.

This man,

He had never seen before. Moreover,

He’s so handsome!

Although now Chen Sheng has adjusted his muscle and bone structure and skin condition in order to make him look older,

It only added a hint of vicissitudes and melancholy to him.

Based on appearance alone,

Chen Sheng far surpassed the previous Xuanwu.

Therefore,

Mr. Mao, with his unique tastes,

Couldn’t help but be somewhat lost in thought.

The Holy Sect followers behind him looked at Chen Sheng with a touch of curiosity and doubt in their eyes.

Some of them had seen the previous Xuanwu before.

As for Chen Sheng,

They had never seen him before and didn’t know where he came from, yet he was wearing the title of Xuanwu.

They were very curious.

As for the thoughts of the crowd, Chen Sheng didn’t pay attention.

This mission for him was nothing more than a walk-through.

He simply used the Eye of True View to sweep over everyone present, confirming that they were all just a bunch of weaklings.

Chen Sheng turned his gaze to Mr. Mao. “You…you are Mao?”

He showed no emotion, speaking indifferently.

It seemed as if he didn’t even care about Mr. Mao, who was one of the Twelve Holy Envoys.

But this was the normal behavior for someone from the Four Saints.

Mr. Mao didn’t think much of it. “Subordinate is present!” He immediately responded.

“Hmm.”

As the voice fell,

Mr. Mao informed Chen Sheng of the original plan for today.

“Sir, do you need to make any adjustments?” After explaining the plan,

Mr. Mao looked cautiously at Chen Sheng.

Xuanwu’s sudden appearance,

Normally, it was either because the Martial Arts Association had sent a high-level strong person, or that there had been changes in the Slumbering Land.

That’s why Mr. Mao asked this question. “No need, proceed as planned.”

Chen Sheng waved his hand dismissively.

“Once we reach the Slumbering Land, I’ll have my own arrangements.”

‘Yes.”

When faced with Chen Sheng’s order,

Mr. Mao didn’t dare to have any objections.

He immediately turned to the gathered followers,

His cautious demeanor quickly faded, replaced by an aloof expression,

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

The crowd responded in unison,

Then, under Mr. Mao’s guidance, they swiftly moved outside the church.

“Hahaha. ”

“Yes, yes.”

As soon as they left the church,

The Holy Sect followers, who had just experienced Chen Sheng’s suppression and were still somewhat fearful, immediately put on a different face.

They talked and laughed with one another,

And it seemed as if,

There was no difference between them and an ordinary tour group. The crowd wore church clothes in unison,

Making Chen Sheng, who stood at the front, seem somewhat out of place.

Mr. Mao noticed this and delicately pointed it out,

“Sir , ”

“Do you require…”

“No need, let’s just go.”

He stepped forward and cautiously inquired Chen Sheng by his side,

Only to be directly declined.

Chen Sheng wasn’t like the others.

He was well aware of the schemes and dealings of the Holy Sect and the Martial Arts Association.

According to the message sent by Vermilion Bird,
