Although he had long rehearsed how he would face the true body of a demigod, when he actually faced it — no, just looking at it from afar — that overwhelming pressure had destroyed most of his confidence.
The reason he still had a shred of confidence was that the concentrated poison in his hand was indeed quite powerful, and he had Yuyuan City as a shield.
If any of these factors were missing, he would not have come up with such a crazy idea.
As the saying went, wealth came from danger. There were many people in the world who would risk their lives for benefits.
Capitalists once said that fifty percent of the profits would make most capitalists take risks. With a hundred percent of the profits, they would dare to trample all the laws of the world. With three hundred percent of the profits, they would dare to risk the gallows.
Moreover, the benefits Lin Xiao wanted to obtain now were not just three hundred percent. It was ten times, or even a hundred times. This was enough for him to risk losing a large number of his clan members to do this.
Moreover, this Saint incarnation of his was not his true body. If he died, so be it. It would not affect his true body.
In just six minutes, Lin Xiao was already close to the edge of Yuyuan City. From afar, he could see the huge city base standing in the sea and the dense cluster of parasitic barnacles parasitizing the city base.
As expected, the snake-person demigod was attracted by the bait he had deliberately released and was delayed for a while. Otherwise, with the demigod's strength, there was no reason why he could not catch up to him.
Lin Xiao quickly rushed to the edge of Yuyuan City. In the name of meeting the city lord, he brought a small portion of the Naga clan members to his side. The other merfolk and Naga were all left outside the city.
He had no choice. He wanted to bring them all in, but the city did not allow it. He could only leave them outside, but he ordered them to circle around the city to the other side.
He did not know if it would be of any use, but it was at least a psychological comfort.
Less than a minute after entering the city, Lin Xiao felt a terrifying pressure rapidly approaching at the city gate. Before he could react, the city reacted violently. An old Murloc in luxurious clothes suddenly flew out of the tall temple in the center of the city and said to the distance, "Sir, I'm here.
"Your Highness Glass, this is the territory of Her Majesty the Sea God!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating. The entire city could hear it clearly.
Lin Xiao expressionlessly raised his head and glanced at the old man before retracting his gaze. This old man was an archbishop of the Sea God's Shrine in Jade Abyss City. He was a devout believer of the Sea God and a powerful priest.
He had never seen him before, but according to various rumors, the Archbishop's strength was estimated to be at Level Five, but his strength could temporarily increase by one level to Level Six in the vicinity of the shrine.
The priests of the churches of gods were usually devout believers and true believers, but not fanatics with stronger beliefs. The main reason was that fanatics were too fanatical and easily affected their daily decisions.
Think about it, if a certain noble privately slandered a certain God, if the Pope of the Church was a fanatic, his first reaction would be to arrest the person regardless of whether it was true or false. Even the King was no exception.
If it were a more rational devout believer, they would investigate first. If it was true, they would secretly warn the other party in an informal setting. It would be smoother to deal with church affairs and more in line with the god's wishes.
After just a glance, Lin Xiao didn't look again, in case he was noticed by this old merman.
At this moment, a faint pressure surged from the horizon. A faint red light quickly spread over from the sea surface far away, dyeing the entire western sea surface of Jade Abyss City blood-red.
Not long after, an extremely thick blood-red water column suddenly rose from the sea that was like an abyss of blood. A tall golden figure shrouded in blood-red light slowly rose. His cold gaze swept across Jade Abyss City and swept past the old merman. A slight muffled sound was heard. The old merman groaned, and a flush appeared on his face.
The old merman wasn't angry. He bowed to the tall golden figure, and a faint blue light slowly rose from his body to contend with the demigod pressure.
"Prince Glass, this is the territory of the Sea God. You have crossed the line!"
Glass's slightly fearful gaze swept across the shrine in the center of the city. He vaguely saw a looming huge pupil staring at him. He snorted coldly and pointed at Lin Xiao.
"Hand him over to me, and I'll leave immediately."
Lin Xiao, who was pointed at, had a slight change in expression. He turned around and bowed to the shrine without hesitation.
"I'm the chief of the merman tribe in the southwest. Great Sea God, save me. 140,000 mermen will be your devout believers!"
After saying that, he knelt down without hesitation and lowered his head to show his piety.
His voice was very loud, and almost half of Jade Abyss City heard it.
He did this on purpose so that more people could hear him.
At this time, he would be a fool if he still dared to look down on the native gods. The key to his crazy idea was whether the Sea God was willing to protect him.
If he was willing, there would be a chance to continue.
If he wasn't willing, then there was no need to say anything and just return.
He deliberately said it so loudly to increase the stakes. He was betting that the archbishop wouldn't dare to take the risk of losing his faith and refuse to save his believer in front of everyone.
It didn't matter whether he was a true believer or not. At the very least, a fake believer like him wouldn't be able to fool the priests of the church. However, the various sea tribes in Jade Abyss City didn't know. Lin Xiao said that he was a devout believer of the Sea God, and the various sea tribes in Jade Abyss City believed him at this time.
If the archbishop was a fanatic, his lie would immediately be exposed and sent out. Unfortunately, the archbishop wasn't. He was more rational and needed to consider the impact of saving or not saving him.
Moreover, the 140,000 mermen in Lin Xiao's hands were also quite tempting.
The archbishop also had a saying that educating more believers would make the gods more happy, and thus gain the favor of the gods. 140,000 mermen was a rather large new faith.
After pondering for a while, the archbishop finally made his decision. Of course, there were also the whispers that suddenly made his expression turn serious and agitated. When he raised his head, his expression was very solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice to the majestic figure standing high in the sky.
"Any creature in the sea is the child of the supreme Sea God. His Majesty won't give up on any child."
The snake-man SemiGod, who was patiently waiting for a reply, suddenly had his golden eyes light up. A golden flame spurted out from his eyes, and he snorted coldly.
"I'm here to tell you, not to discuss it with you. I'm definitely taking this person!"
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the air. The blood-red light in the sky gathered and turned into a giant blood-red hand that was more than a hundred meters long. It suddenly pressed down on Jade Abyss City.
"How dare you!"
A cold snort exploded above the shrine. The blue light in the sky gathered above Lin Xiao and turned into another giant blue hand that collided fiercely with the blood-red hand. A ring of transparent light exploded, stirring up layers of undercurrents in the sea.
Of course, the one who attacked was not the archbishop. How could he fight against a SemiGod? The one who attacked was an incarnation of the Sea God.
