"Lord Saint!"
"Lord Saintess!"
A stone raised a thousand ripples. All the believers of the Church of Machinery and the Church of Steam were excited and cheering for Gus and Grey enthusiastically.
Caught unprepared, the sister and brother did not know what to do. Their cheeks were blushing.
"What do you mean? We — we are not 'Lord Saint' and 'Saintess'."
Gus looked at Luo Xinglong. His head was blank. He stammered, "What are you doing?"
"You are, of course, the 'Lord Saint' and the 'Saintess' of our cult. You have come to the human world with the mission to banish the false gods and establish the faith of the true gods. Of course, the will of the true gods is so mysterious that you may not have noticed it yourself."
Luo Xinglong looked at the two of them and said, "You must've noticed it too. After the enormous cracks in the sky in the south, the sky in the five hundred square kilometers around Qianyuan City in the north has also cracked. Something seems to be coming out of nowhere, isn't it?
"This is the sign that the mask of the 'Fist God' cannot cover his feeble and evil true face anymore. It is a sign that the spokesperson of the true gods has arrived!
"You, on the other hand, are the messengers of the true gods. Immense strength that you do not even realize is hidden in your body.
"If the two of you were not the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of my cult, how could the two of you possibly break through the team led by the Priest of the Fist God Palace, Lei Lie? I heard that you even killed almost a hundred experts who were skilled in fist techniques in one go?
"You should know that the Red Gold Town is the most powerful town among the dozens of towns near the Qianyuan City. It has the most martial arts clubs and the most powerful fighters. Even if the priest Lei Lie of the Red Gold Town comes to the Fist God Palace of the Qianyuan City to participate in the competition between the priests, he wins more than he loses. His strength is quite dazzling.
"Without the protection of the true gods, I'm afraid that the two of you would not have been able to defeat even one of Lei Lie's little fingers. Am I right?"
"Well …"
Gus was lost for words for a moment.
Naturally, he knew that the key to his sister and him breaking out of the siege was Demon Lu Qingchen.
Although they were all demons according to the Fist God's Temple, Lu Qingchen was not the same as the 'mechanical demons' and the 'steam devils'. The power Gus obtained was also far superior to the power of steam.
However, Lu Qingchen had warned him again and again not to tell the truth to anyone. Also, Gus did not like the zealous believers either. He felt that they were just two sides of the same coin, just like the equally zealous believers of the Fist God.
"If you're not the 'Saint', may I ask, how did you manage to break out of the encirclement?"
Luo Xinglong smiled and said, "Especially you, Gus. I've heard a lot about you from your father. I know that you … are not outstanding by the standards of the Path of the Iron Fist. In fact, you are quite weak.
"Don't get me wrong. The Way of Steam and the Way of Iron Fist are two utterly different power and evaluation systems. In the system of the Way of Iron Fist, the weaker one is in the system of the Way of Steam, the more outstanding one is in the system of the Way of Steam!
"We only want to know what exactly you did in the rainstorm deep in the mountains that caused Lei Lie to be badly battered and return in low spirits."
"I — I don't know, either."
Gus could only say vaguely, "I-I only felt that the world was spinning, and the whole world was blurred. After I don't know how long, I saw broken limbs all over the ground. My pursuers were either dead or wounded. Even my uncle, Lei Lie, had run away."
"That's right, Lord Saint. That's right!"
Luo Xinglong waved his fists in excitement and shouted, "You didn't even know what was going on, but you crushed almost a hundred strong pursuers in your confusion. What else could it be if not the power of a true god?
"Therefore, Gus and Grey must be the 'Saint' and the 'Saintess' of our sect. They were sent by the God of Steam to purge the sins and blind faith in the world and establish true faith!
"Everybody, the false god 'A Boxing Champion' has deceived the world for almost ten thousand years. For ten thousand years, our world has been backward, ignorant, and bloody. The noble human beings have become barbarians with more brawn than brains. Some of them are even wild animals that drink raw meat!
"The people who tried to ignite the fire of wisdom in the darkness and look for a way out were hunted and suppressed by the minions of 'A Boxing Champion'. Year after year, generation after generation, the blood has gathered into an ocean, and the bones have been piled into mountains.
"Today, the belief of the true gods finally has a new hope. In the south, the steam army has been gathered. They have occupied the towns and destroyed the temples of the false gods. With the invincible steam cannons, they have blown the so-called invincible army of iron fists of the false gods into pieces.
"In the north, the faith of the true god has also been secretly spreading in countless towns. It is like a wildfire in the prairie that cannot be stopped. It will tear apart the sky, and the 'Saint' and the 'Saintess' will descend.
"Their arrival means that the strength of the false god has been weakened to the minimum. The day when we raise the flag of justice and roar in the north is not far away. The false god will be defeated. Long live the true god! The false god will be defeated. Long live the true god!"
Luo Xinglong's voice was getting louder and louder.
Sweat the size of soybeans leaked out of his forehead and turned into wisps of white smoke that rose up, making him look like a steam engine that had been driven to the maximum.
"The false god will be defeated. Long live the true god!"
"The false god will be defeated. Long live the true god!"
The believers below were all in a frenzy. They were shouting crazily.
Gus and Grey were somewhat dizzy.
They did not expect that their arrival would cause an uncontrollable chain reaction.
As it turned out, the influence of the Church of Machinery and Steam in the north, especially in Qianyuan City, had expanded to the point where it was difficult to hide.
If the organization continued to expand and take action, it would definitely be noticed by the Fist God Palace.
Since there would be a battle sooner or later, they might as well take action first.
Recently, the news that the 'steam army' had crushed the 'iron fist army' had come from the south, which boosted the morale of the believers in the north.
The enormous crack in the sky was like a 'cardiac stimulant' that strengthened the belief of the believers and made them believe that 'the old god is dead, and the new god is rising'.
The news that Gus and Grey had fought their way out of the siege and almost killed Lei Lie, the priest of the Fist God Palace, was an out-and-out miracle. It was even a 'miracle'. It was a signal that the true god had clearly sent to the believers.
If they did not take the gift, they would be punished.
When the news came, the believers of the Church of Machinery and Steam in Qianyuan City had been eager to take action. They could not wait any longer.
Right now, Gus and Grey had appeared in front of them directly. It was almost like the horn of rebellion had been blown right next to their ears!
