Chapter 1724: The Number One Believer’s Contributions (2)

‘No wonder,’ Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘The Nihilist Congregation believed in the Unholy One. Logically speaking, it should be an enemy of the Sacred Temple. Who would have thought the congregation has its own purpose as well…. Moreover, it was also in line with the Four Divinities of Heaven’s mission to maintain the balance between heaven and earth…’

Rumble!

Another thunderous sound rang in the air.

Jian Bing’s mind spun very quickly. He bowed and said, “Perhaps, the Heavenly Dao Flag is unstable today. It originally belongs to you, my lord. Please help us!”

‘Damn liar! Let’s see how you’re going to continue this ruse!’

The three cult leaders were speechless. They thought that their cult master was really bold to have asked the Unholy One for help so directly.

Lu Zhou glanced at Jian Bing before he said, “Considering you’re my most loyal believer and have performed quite well from the beginning, I’ll help you with this. However…”

Jian Bing maintained his bowing posture and said, “Please instruct me, Lord Unholy One!”

“You have to agree to two things,” Lu Zhou said.

Jian Bing said loudly, “My lord, you’re being too courteous! I’m your most loyal believer! Let alone two things, even three or ten aren’t a problem! As long as you’re able to stabilize the ruins, I’ll do anything!”

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction and said, “Alright. First, I want a drop of your blood essence.”

Jian Bing nodded. “That’s not a problem! Even if you want a bowl of it, it’s fine!”

The three cult leaders: “…”

‘Usually, the cult master isn’t like this. Why does he seem a little… crazy today?’

Lu Zhou continued to say, “Second, if it’s possible, I’d like to borrow your divine soul pearl.”

“That’s not a problem!” Jian Bing answered without hesitation.

“???”

The three cult leaders were dumbfounded. They could still accept the blood essence, but they did not expect their cult master would readily agree to lend his divine soul pearl. This was really out of their expectations. After thinking about it, they thought that their cult master was indeed the number one believer of the Unholy One! The cult master was even willing to use his bones to make soup for his idol to drink!

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction and said, “Okay!”

Then, without another word, Lu Zhou walked out of the meeting hall.

The three cult leaders moved to their cult master’s side and gave him a thumbs-up.

Jian Bing glanced at the trio before he straightened his back and said with his hands on his back, “Tell everyone to gather in 15 minutes.”

“Why?” Yan Guichen was puzzled.

“If I tell you to do it, just do it,” Jian Bing said.

“Understood.”

Yan Guichen left very quickly. He thought to himself, ‘The cult master is really impressive! He even plans to have everyone welcome the Unholy One! It seems like I thought too much and was worried for nothing!’

The earth continued to quake. Its frequency was much higher than before.

Jian Bing turned around as he thought to himself, ‘When he approaches the Heavenly Dao Flag, he’ll trigger the power of the flag. At that time, I’ll use the power from the flag and cooperate with the three cult leaders to take that old thing down….’

Rumble!

The earth and the mountains shook again.

Cracks began to appear on the ancient city walls.

Seeing this, Jian Bing hurriedly shouted, “Lord Unholy One, please stabilize the ruins!”

Lu Zhou said before he flew into the air, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, peace will return to the ancient ruins.”

The cultivators in the surroundings looked up with reverent expressions on their faces.

Zhou Cheng and Chu Lian looked excited as well. Although they had seen Lu Zhou in the Unholy One’s state before, they were still looking forward to seeing it again.

Under Yan Guichen’s orders, many cultivators were also rushing over from all directions.

At this time, Lu Zhou was only about 30 feet away from the Heavenly Dao Flag.

Crackle!

The flag shook.

Within a radius of 1,000 miles in the ancient ruins, patterns lit up on the ground before they quickly rushed toward the Heavenly Dao Flag.

The Heavenly Dao Flag was absorbing the power of the Great Void.

Lu Zhou admired the Heavenly Dao Flag for a moment.

At this time, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky and hit the flag.

Boom!

“So that’s how it is…”

Realization dawned on Lu Zhou. The Nihilist Congregation relied on the Heavenly Dao Flag to maintain the stability of the ancient ruins, but the flag did not seem to be playing its full role.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared above the Heavenly Dao Flag. When the second lightning bolt appeared, he pushed his hand up before he stepped on the flag with one foot.

Boom!

An incomparably huge lightning bolt descended from the sky.

“It’s time!” Jian Bing exclaimed. His expression was a mix of excitement and solemnity.

“Time for what?”

Zhou Cheng and Chu Lian looked at Jian Bing in confusion.

When the lightning bolt struck Lu Zhou, it passed through him as though he was made from water. As it flashed on the surface of his body, the divine mark robe fluttered in the air as the ancient Dragon Soul flew out after sensing the power of heaven and earth.

Following that, the Heavenly Dao Flag grew from 1,000 feet long to 10,000 feet long. Its height increased many times in just a moment.

The ancient Dragon Soul circled the pole of the Heavenly Dao Flag from the top to the bottom twice before it flew back.

At the same time, the blue lightning bolt left Lu Zhou’s body and entered the Heavenly Dao Flag. With that, the flag was activated and began to absorb the powerful energy.

Lu Zhou’s eyes shone with a dazzling blue light as his hair and robe fluttered in the air. At the same time, blue electric arcs flashed on his body.

‘This is… the Unholy One!’

“Ahh?” Jian Bing staggered two steps back.

“Cult Master?” Yan Guichen, who had just returned, supported Jian Bing and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I, I, I’m dreaming!”

“You’re not dreaming…”
