455 Crimson Python!
Luo Xiaobei’s heart was a mess. Scenes of the days when he was taught by the Butcher appeared in his mind.
He did not know what to do.
...His senior brother and his two good friends.
One was his benefactor, while the others were his close friends. Which side to choose was an excruciating decision.
While Luo Xiaobei was deep in thought, the evil spirit stood behind Lin Qiye, looking sad.
It had just recalled what had happened after the erosion had worsened.
Not to mention Luo Xiaobei, even itself could not accept the sins it had committed.
The evil spirit suddenly turned to Lin Qiye and pleaded, “My Lord, please hand me over to him.”
It wanted to atone for its sins. Only by letting Luo Xiaobei kill it personally would it feel slightly better.
Lin Qiye did not say anything and waited for Luo Xiaobei’s reply.
Luo Xiaobei looked at the evil spirit and suddenly had an idea.
It would have been better if Lin Qiye had not purified the evil spirit.
However, Luo Xiaobei was shocked by the thought. For the sake of revenge, he wanted his senior brother to die!
He couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
The one who killed his close friends was not the senior brother who treated him like his own brother!
Instead, it was an evil power that had infected his senior brother’s mind!
Luo Xiaobei suddenly understood.
The root of all this, the culprit, was that evil power!
Whether it was his best friend or senior brother, they were all victims!
The target of hatred was transferred, and Luo Xiaobei was no longer pained by his choice.
Instead, he looked at the evil spirit with a firm gaze and called out softly, “Senior Brother.”
These two simple words seemed to contain everything he wanted to say.
At that moment, the evil spirit felt as if it was shrouded in holy light.
Its eyes instantly became wet, and it rushed forward and hugged Luo Xiaobei.
It did not apologize, nor did it say a word.
The two hugged each other and cried. Every emotion was conveyed without words.
Lin Qiye was a little touched.
After the two separated, he said half-jokingly, “That’s enough. Two grown men hugging each other? If I don’t know better, I’d think that you’re gay.”
The evil spirit, or more appropriately, The Butcher and Luo Xiaobei wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and finally smiled.
“How is it? Have you made your decision?” Lin Qiye looked at Luo Xiaobei with a smile.
Luo Xiaobei turned to look at Butcher, then turned to Lin Qiye and said firmly, “I won’t go back on my word! If you hand senior brother over to me, I’ll bow down to you and become your servant!”
Since he did not know why Lin Qiye had captured Butcher, Luo Xiaobei was prepared to sacrifice his freedom to ensure the Butcher’s safety.
“Oh?”
Lin Qiye looked at Luo Xiaobei with great interest.
He was a little surprised by his choice.
Although Luo Xiaobei’s choice had not changed, the reason behind it had changed greatly.
“I broke through. I broke through!”
In Gui Nian’s residence at Tata Village, an extremely excited voice came from the room.
Then, a burst of laughter came from the room next door.
“I’ve also broken through!”
Chang Shi pushed open the door and walked out, displaying his might.
Fortunately, there was a formation to isolate their aura. Otherwise, ordinary villagers would not be able to withstand such an action.
“Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm. It’s only been a year, and I’ve broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!”
“It’s good to follow Lord Holy Infant. With a little guidance, we can easily break through our bottleneck.”
Chang Shi and Gui Nian sighed.
Ever since the two returned from Wuxiang Village, they had a faint feeling that they were about to break through.
Now, they only needed to gather Qi slightly, and they did not go deep into seclusion, but they could easily break through that barrier.
The two demons stepped out of the door and were about to show off to Hou Tu.
Suddenly, their expressions fell.
Almost at the same time, Chang Shi and Gui Nian both received a message from their good friend.
The contents of the talismans were the same. There were only two simple sentences.
“The crimson python of the Shifang Mountains has gone berserk. He’s leading an army and sweeping the mountains in the direction of Tata Village!”
“Everyone, please reply immediately and discuss our countermeasures!”
Chang Shi and Gui Nian looked at each other, their faces grim.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t Chi Jin in seclusion? Could it be that he has broken through?”
“Whether he’s broken through or not, it’s no small matter. He has tens of thousands of small demons under him. We can’t deal with them all. We must tell the Lord about this!”
The two demons quickly made a decision.
When they went to look for Lin Qiye, they had also drawn up a communication talisman and asked for more details.
In the Holy Infant Temple, Lin Qiye sat cross-legged on the main seat in the hall in the backyard as he recalled his experience in Wuxiang Village.
“When I was in that courtyard, I could only gather a small portion of the power of faith, and I couldn’t replenish it after I used it.
“But in Tata Village, the power of faith I can gather has increased almost tenfold, and as long as the villagers keep offering, I can almost always replenish it.
“Could it be that the range of power of faith is related to the incense offerings received?”
Lin Qiye recalled what Lonemoon had told him about the power of virtue.
The power of virtue and the power of faith had a similar effect. However, the power of merit was greatly limited. Once the incense offerings were lost, the wielder would lose their ability.
The power of faith didn’t have this flaw.
As long as Lin Qiye had obtained the power of faith, even if he lost the incense offerings, he would not lose the energy under the condition that he hasn’t used them.
