The Devil Vine Priest Charnasum led the way in front, and the Divine Guards all followed. However, the Bloodfeather Warriors on both sides of the road made them feel very uncomfortable.
Captain Mo said to Lin Chu, "Behind the Devil Vine Priest is the God of Massacre, Gakku. The deal you mentioned, is it with this EsGod?"
Lin Chu replied, "It's him. Don't look at me. This was decided by the Marquises. I'm just following orders."
Captain Mo said, "I just feel that it's not enough."
Lin Chu knew what she was worried about and said, "Don't worry, we'll go back after the exchange. We won't stay for long. Plus, the three Marquises are all at the Honghe Pass. A war is about to break out, and we're just small fries. What can killing us change?"
Captain Mo didn't say anything else, but she knew that things were definitely not as simple as Lin Chu said.
After walking for half a day, the team stopped in front of a bare hill. There was a cave on top of it.
The Devil Vine Priest turned around and said, "Only one person can follow. Which one of you will go?"
Lin Chu said to Captain Mo, "Captain Mo, you guys wait here. I'll be back soon."
Captain Mo looked at him and said, "Don't die. I won't avenge you. I'll be the first to run."
Lin Chu looked at the Devil Vine Priest's dark and shriveled face and coughed. "Captain Mo, I'm just joking."
He walked out and said, "Priest Tsarasum, I'll go with you."
The Devil Vine Priest looked at him and didn't say anything. He walked up the hill with his cane, and Lin Chu immediately followed.
The hill wasn't high, and the two reached the cave after about a hundred steps. The Devil Vine Priest paused and pointed with his cane. "It's inside."
For some reason, Lin Chu felt a little nervous at this moment. He stroked the back of his left hand and followed the Devil Vine Priest into the cave. After about ten steps, the cave passage turned. He turned around, but the moment he turned his head, his eyes widened involuntarily.
At the end of the cave, there was a reddish-yellow crystal as tall as two people. It looked like a huge piece of amber, but there was a blurry figure inside.
The Devil Vine Priest said, "He's the only person who came out of the Resting Land of Gods. We've tried everything but still couldn't open this thing." He stared at Lin Chu and said, "It doesn't matter if he's the one you're looking for. You have to give this thing to me."
Lin Chu came back to her senses and said, "Don't worry. Since we're here, we'll definitely give you the item. Now, I need to identify this person. Can you please leave us for a while?"
The Devil Vine Priest didn't say anything and walked out with her walking stick.
When Lin Chu heard that he had walked away, she took two steps forward and carefully examined the amber-like object. He could not see the face of the person inside, but he could see that the person was half-kneeling there, as if he was holding something.
At this time, he suddenly felt a heat on the back of his left hand. He hurriedly tore off a layer of fake skin on the top, revealing a pair of eyes that were rolling around. He raised his hand and waved it in the direction, asking in his heart, "Army Marquis He, is this the person we're looking for?"
After a while, he heard the voice of a second person. "That's right, it's him. The former Army of God Deputy Commandant Ying Chongguang. The Gods Restoration Society didn't lie to us!"
Lin Chu said, "What's this thing that's wrapped around him?"
The voice said, "We've confirmed that this is a cultivator's method. I'm guessing that Ying Chongguang was heavily injured when he came out of the Resting Land of Gods. Maybe he's about to die, but he must have been prepared and used this thing to protect himself. He sealed himself and waited for the people of the Protectorate to come find him after they won the battle. But he probably didn't expect that even though the Protectorate won the battle, they wouldn't be able to find him again."
Lin Chu said, "Then should I give the secret scroll to those natives now?"
The voice said, "Give it to them. The Resting Land of Gods is of no use to us and we don't plan to go in. But the people of Xuanfu should have gotten the news and might be able to find that place. Let them fight for it. No matter who loses, it won't be bad for us."
Lin Chu was a little hesitant. "But, aren't there still the robes of the former Commandant and the four Army Marquis in the Resting Land of Gods? Are we just going to give it to them? "
The voice said, "This isn't something you should be concerned about. Just do as I say."
Lin Chu's eyes flickered. "Okay, Army Marquis He."
He turned around and said to the outside, "Priest Charnasum, I've confirmed it. I'll give it to you now."
The Devil Vine Priest walked over and stared at him. "Where's the thing?"
Lin Chu took out two folded parchments from the leather pouch at his waist and handed them to him. "The secret scroll is here. I'll give it to you. As for whether you can find it or not, it's none of our business."
The Devil Vine Priest rushed forward and snatched the parchments. He opened them and looked at them. The vines on his body writhed. After he looked at them, he was very excited. He raised the parchments with both hands and shouted with fanaticism, "When we left with the gods, we forgot about the land of our ancestors. Now, it's finally going to return to our hands!"
Lin Chu couldn't understand what he was saying. He only felt that he was going crazy. He coughed and said, "So, Priest Charnasum, is our deal done?"
The Devil Vine Priest calmed down. He looked at him and said in Tianxia language, "Our deal is done. I will keep my promise. Until you leave the forest ruled by Mohaka, we will not attack you."
After he finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.
Lin Chu saw him leave and relaxed. He looked at the amber and asked in his heart, "Army Marquis He, what do we do when we come down?"
The voice said, "Open the seal and bring Ying Chongguang's robe back."
"How?"
"Put your hand on it. There will be a resonance between the robes. Ying Chongguang's consciousness will feel it and release the seal on its own."
Lin Chu said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."
The voice said, "Okay, don't dawdle. Quickly open this thing."
Lin Chu stood still. He suddenly smiled and said, "Army Commander He, do you know why I chose the robe of the God of Wings and why I can fly but don't have wings?"
Without waiting for the voice to answer, he continued, "Because I yearn for freedom and freedom. I don't need wings to bind me!"
After a while, the voice said, "What are you trying to say?"
Lin Chu raised her hand and stared at those two eyes without blinking. "So, why should I listen to you?"
"You want to rebel?"
Lin Chu laughed and said, "Aren't you the ones who want to rebel?"
The voice threatened, "I know everything you do here. Think carefully before you decide what to do."
Lin Chu showed a look of disdain and said, "Don't lie to me. This place is too far from the Honghe Pass. Your spiritual power can't reach that far. The spiritual power you entrusted to me is just a rigid consciousness. So, you can't know what I want to do, right?"
The voice was silent for a moment before saying, "Lin Chu, you are very smart, but you can't wear that robe."
"Oh? Why? "
The voice said, "Do you know why I am willing to let you do this?"
"Because I can fly?"
"That is only one reason. Ying Chongguang's robe can only be worn by people of Tianxia. It is used in times of crisis to pass down the legacy. You are a mixed blood of people of Tianxia and An, so you can't wear it. You should give up this idea as soon as possible."
Lin Chu said playfully, "How can you be so sure that I am not a person of Tianxia?"
"You are a person of Tianxia? Impossible, your father is from the Xia, and your mother is from An. We have investigated clearly! Otherwise, we would not have let you enter the Army of God. "
"Hahahaha …" Lin Chu laughed crazily. "You probably don't know, right? I was abandoned in the wilderness by my biological parents after I was born. It was my current father who adopted me. However, I am truly a person of Tianxia. I have never felt that kind of pressure from those EsGods. Only trash like you would be afraid of the power of those EsGods. "
The voice felt that something was wrong and said, "The power of the Army of God is beyond your imagination. We have a big plan now. Lin Chu, listen to me. Stop now and send the thing back. It will come back …"
Lin Chu did not wait for him to speak. He tore off the flesh on the back of his hand along with the two eyeballs and threw them on the ground. Then, he stomped on them and used the tip of his foot to crush them. "Bah, who do you think you are!"
He raised his head, looked at the huge amber, and said, "My path, I will walk it myself!"
He took a few steps forward and slowly reached out his hand.
He knew that the Army of God had received news of Ying Chongguang from the Gods Revival Society, so he was willing to use the news of the Resting Land of the Gods to exchange for this robe. However, this way, the remaining robes in the Resting Land of the Gods would be given to those native EsGods.
But why give it up?
As long as he obtained this robe and put it on, he would have the power of a deputy captain of the Army of God. After that, he would find the Resting Land of the Gods and gather all the lost robes to form his own Army of God!
From then on, he would no longer be manipulated by others!
At this time, his hand finally reached out to the huge amber. In an instant, a strong throbbing feeling arose in his heart. Then, he saw that the yellowish-red crystal-like substance seemed to dissolve and slowly recede, quickly disappearing.
In the deepest part of the cave, there was only a man full of power half-kneeling there. The Victory Robe on his body had long been damaged, and only a small part of it was still intact. It was obvious that he had been through an intense battle.
Lin Chu breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward, trying to reach out to touch the man. However, before he could touch him, the man suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder. Lin Chu's expression changed. The spiritual light on his body had no effect at all. He was actually grabbed by the other party directly?
A vigorous voice sounded in his ear. "Has the Protectorate army defeated the Blood Sun Ancient Kingdom?"
Lin Chu endured the pain and fear, standing there and trying his best to speak. "Yes, we have won sixty years ago. All the EsGods have been reburied by us!"
"Sixty years, huh …" The man raised his head and increased the strength of his hand. "What about Tianxia? Has Dong Ting and Tianxia reconnected? "
Lin Chu's eyes flickered. "Not yet, but … soon. The Turbid Tide is receding. The beacon fire, the beacon fire is about to be lit …"
"About to be lit …"
The man slowly stood up at this time.
Lin Chu could see that this was originally a very valiant man, but it was ruined by the wounds on his face. He was only a little taller than him, but when he stood there, he gave off a feeling of indomitable spirit.
The man looked at him with his pitch-black eyes and said, "Kid, you are from the Army of God?"
Lin Chu immediately replied, "Yes!"
The man looked at him and said, "Good, you are from the Tianxia bloodline. Your aptitude is a little lacking, and your strength is not very compatible. However, you might be able to use it."
At this time, Lin Chu was shocked to see that the man's feet began to burn, and the flames spread up his legs. The places where the flames touched turned into nothingness, but the man's hand was still firmly pressed on his shoulder.
"Kid, I will leave my divine robe to you."
"And this piece of jade on me, take it out and give it to the people of Xuanfu."
"Remember!"
"Wear this divine robe and protect Tianxia and the people!"
"You must remember that Tianxia's blood flows in your body. We are Tianxia's people!"
Lin Chu saw that the flames were about to burn the man's face, but the latter's expression did not change at all. Those pitch-black eyes were still staring at him. Lin Chu gulped and could not help but say, "I, I will remember!"
The man looked relieved. "Good!"
The flames engulfed his head, but his voice still reverberated through the cavern.
"May the flame of Tianxia continue to be passed down and burn forever …"
After saying this, the last hand dissipated like smoke and fire, and then a golden crystal with a bright fluorescent light fell to the ground.
Lin Chu could not help but take two steps back. He panted a few times and then stared at the golden crystal with a burning gaze. He was about to walk up to it when his foot kicked something. He looked down and found that it was a piece of beautiful jade that looked like a tile. He thought for a moment and put it away. Then, he bent down to pick up the golden crystal and held it in front of his eyes.
He greedily stared at this beautiful thing and took a deep breath. He reached out and grabbed another piece of crystal from his body. In an instant, his face turned pale and a sense of weakness surged up.
Without any hesitation, he tossed aside the crystal that he had grabbed and pressed the golden gem against his chest. In an instant, fine and exquisite patterns covered his entire body with light. It was as if he had put on a gorgeous robe. Soon after, an enormous aura surged out from his body. Amidst the soaring scarlet-yellow light, his body grew a lot taller.
After ten breaths, the light disappeared. He slowly stood up and looked at his hands that were thicker than before. He clenched them, and suddenly a burst of air burst out. The whole cave echoed.
"From now on, I have the final say in the Army of God!"
