Three days later, in Qianyuan City.
This was the largest city within a radius of 500 miles.
It was also one of the most important strongholds of the Fist God Palace in the north.
It was said that the Fist God had once comprehended the invincible fist technique here ten thousand years ago. Therefore, it was the "holy land" of the Iron Fist.
Guss and Grey stood on the side of the road outside the city. Looking at the towering city wall in the distance, they couldn't help but feel absent-minded.
Since three days ago, Guss had killed many people with the help of the demon, and the hunting team had been completely annihilated. He had also cut off the way to track them. Since then, there had been no trace of the hunting team behind them.
Even so, the torrential rain, the difficult mountain road, and Grey's high fever and serious injuries had brought them a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, with the help of the demon, they had made it here without any mishap.
Now that Grey's fever had subsided and her injuries had healed, she could finally take a breather.
Grey couldn't remember clearly what had happened that day. Guss didn't know how to tell his sister in detail, so he could only blame everything on the demon.
Lu Qingchen said to Grey with a smile. He didn't want to hide anything. As long as they were in a safe place, he would tell her everything he knew.
Grey knew that this demon was an extremely dangerous existence. Just by seeing how it could help Guss defeat many experts of the Red Gold Town, including her uncle Lei Lie, she knew that if it really wanted to murder the siblings, she would not be able to escape.
If it didn't want to tell the truth and made up some lies, Grey didn't have the ability to expose it.
Therefore, Grey could only suppress her curiosity for the time being and come to Qianyuan City to find her father's old friend, the disciple of the Church of Machinery and Steam.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that the two siblings had come to Qianyuan City.
Their hometown, the Red Gold Town, was also a prosperous place with many geniuses and boxing schools. The importance of the hometown could be seen from the fact that the Fist God Palace had set up a branch in the Red Gold Town.
However, compared with a big city in the north like Qianyuan City, the Red Gold Town was insignificant.
This could be seen from the huge statue of the Fist God outside the main gate of Qianyuan City, which was hundreds of meters tall and could be seen from dozens of miles away.
It was said that the statue had been built with millions of tons of rocks, far beyond the technological level of the Fist God's World. It was an out-and-out 'miracle'.
The statue depicted the Fist God meditating and training with one hand pointing at the sky and the other pointing at the enemy. It truly had the magnificent aura of 'I am the only one in the world'.
Although it was a statue that was frozen, the Fist God was not wearing a shirt, and his lower body was only covered by a cloth. However, every muscle on his body was clearly revealed to the world.
These muscles were carved out of rocks, but they had the texture of surging waves. They were constantly flowing, giving people a feeling of vitality, as if they were alive.
It was said that the enormous statue was a masterpiece carved by the Fist God himself ten thousand years ago.
It was said that the Fist God did not use any tools. He simply blew the statue out with his fists as if they were chopping a knife or an axe.
Every line and ravine on the statue contained the will of the Fist God.
As long as one's mind was pure enough and their faith was pious enough, they would be able to understand the mysterious truths of martial arts if they stared at the statue and trained themselves.
Especially when the sun was high up in the sky. When the sunlight shone on the statue, it would reflect a magnificent light and shadow. The light and shadow would sway and transform into sets of extremely powerful fist techniques. Whoever could comprehend these fist techniques would be able to instantly break through and reach the pinnacle.
Therefore, for thousands of years, countless believers had worshipped the enormous statue.
Countless martial arts maniacs had spent their entire lives around the statue of the Fist God, studying martial arts, practicing martial arts, and perceiving the ultimate mysteries. Even though they were crazy, they never felt bored.
Before their father died, the siblings had been loyal believers of the Fist God. Their greatest wish in life was to visit the famous statue of the Fist God in Qianyuan City.
At that time, Gus had even naively imagined that he could receive the enlightenment of the ultimate mysteries from the statue of the Fist God and turn from 'garbage' into 'genius' instantly.
Today, his wish had come true, but he only wanted to sneer and look at the believers who were worshipping and meditating below the statue. He felt that it was pitiful, hilarious, pathetic, and hateful.
Gus even couldn't help but think that if he drew out the Vulcan Machine Gun that the demons gave him and shot it at the head of the enormous statue of the Fist God, blowing up the head of the statue, what an interesting picture it would be. How would the devout believers below the statue react?
Of course, it was just a fantasy.
Lu Qingchen had warned them that even the demons were not omnipotent. Before they reached the weakest part of the World of the Fist God, they had better be cautious and not be too arrogant.
Moreover, in the past few days, Qianyuan City had been preparing for war. It was filled with killing intent and was extremely vigilant.
Firstly, the cracks in the sky were not only visible to the residents of the Red Gold Town but also to the residents of Qianyuan City.
For a moment, everybody was panicking. They all thought that it was a sign of the doom of the world and the invasion of evils.
All the demons and devils took the opportunity to stir up trouble and take advantage of the chaos.
Secondly, Gus and Grey had killed their way out of the Red Gold Town, and Gus had even borrowed the power of the devil to kill the pursuers led by Lei Lie. This matter had a great impact, and couldn't be concealed at all. It had already spread to hundreds of miles around.
After all, the Red Gold Town had sent out all its people to hunt down the siblings.
But not only did they fail, they also brought back dozens of dead bodies of their own people. As for the unlucky guys who fell off the cliff and were smashed into pieces, there were even more.
The fact was that the Fist God did not bless his believers this time.
Or rather, there was a more terrible possibility. The Fist God had blessed his believers, but they were still no match for the demons.
Even Lei Lie, the representative of the Fist God in the human world and a priest of the Fist God's Temple, had retreated in a panic. He did not even return to the Red Gold Town but went straight to the Fist God's Temple in Qianyuan City to confess his sins and ask for the harshest punishment.
The name of the "demon siblings" spread like wildfire. The pious and kind people within a radius of five hundred square kilometers were all shocked. They sighed and panicked.
However, the demons and devils were even more arrogant. They did not even bother to hide their existence. They jumped out from every dark corner, stirring up trouble and dancing wildly.
In such a situation, it was no wonder that the soldiers outside Qianyuan City were all trembling in fear as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Even though they were so careful, there was still a mess. When Gus and Grey walked to the city gate, they saw a guy in a hooded cloak in the crowd suddenly take out a stack of yellowish-brown paper printed with colorful patterns from under his loose robe. He threw the paper into the air and shouted, "The old gods are dead, and the new gods are here. Long live the Steam God Religion!"
