Chapter 470: Wushen Cult

The phantom in the air didn’t react much to the kneeling Black-robed Man below; instead, he looked in the direction Liang Yu came from.

He immediately frowned and said to the Black-robed Man below with great displeasure.

“How do you people do things?”

“A few little mice ran in, and you didn’t even notice them.”

Seeing the phantom above getting angry, the leading Black-robed Man immediately responded.

“Respected Wu Shen, your humble subordinate will immediately send people to deal with those mice.”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and about a dozen Black-robed Men beside him retreated backward until they reached a certain distance before daring to turn around and quickly rush towards Mario’s side.

At this moment, the leading Black-robed Man asked again.

“Also, may I ask why Wu Shen has manifested this time?”

The phantom in the air, the one referred to as Wu Shen, directly ignored the Black-robed Man’s question.

He looked at the other Black-robed Men, dissatisfied.

“Bai Hong.”

“Let everyone else leave; you stay.”

Upon hearing Wu Shen’s command, these Black-robed Men naturally dared not linger and left at their fastest speed.

After they left, Wu Shen looked at Bai Hong and said.

“Bai Hong, you have been with me for many years; now I shall give you an opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Hong’s eyes instantly lit up. Putting everything else aside, this was an opportunity given by Wu Shen; how bad could it be?

At the same time, he raised his head and looked at Wu Shen above with a yearning gaze, anticipating the opportunity he would speak of next.

Not to mention Bai Hong, even Liang Yu, who was off to the side, was filled with curiosity.

Liang Yu was very certain that this Wu Shen, as referred to by the other party, was not a deity. He did not sense the kind of aura on him that he felt in the abyss, which allowed him to make such a judgment.

But even though the other party was not a deity, Liang Yu also knew that this opportunity was extraordinary. At the very least, this Wu Shen in front of him was a powerful individual, one who made him feel a threat of death.

The opportunity offered by the other party was naturally extraordinary. How wonderful would it be if he could get his hands on it? So, he was also very much looking forward to this opportunity.

Wu Shen did not keep him in suspense. He raised his hand and released a phantom for Bai Hong to observe.

Bai Hong looked at the phantom in front of him, a bit bewildered, not understanding what connection the person in this phantom had with the opportunity.

He didn’t recognize it, but that didn’t mean the other sly one didn’t.

At first glance, Liang Yu only felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

After a second, careful look, he finally realized and confirmed with his gaze that it was himself.

That iconic, domineering armor, besides his Ultimate Emperor Armor, who else here possessed it?

It couldn’t be that the gods and demons in the abyss had transformed into his appearance to cause trouble, getting him wanted, could it?

After watching the confused Bai Hong for a while, he sought guidance from Wu Shen.

“Wu Shen, your subordinate is ignorant and cannot comprehend your meaning. Please enlighten me.”

Wu Shen showed no emotional fluctuations and casually presented a few items.

This time, the items were not projections but tangible objects pushed in front of Bai Hong.

“You know how to use these things.”

“Find him, dead or alive, and bring that armor back to me.”

“The person should be in Jubei City. After things here are settled, you can use the jade slip to cross space to Jubei City.”

“Remember, it can only be used once.”

Liang Yu was startled, not expecting that what this Wu Shen wanted was his Ultimate Emperor Armor.

In Liang Yu’s view, this Wu Shen had already embarked on a path to his own demise.

It was just that there was a problem he had to face: this Wu Shen was currently just a projection, or perhaps an expendable clone, and destroying him would only expose himself with no other benefits.

So, for a short time, Liang Yu really had no way to deal with this Wu Shen.

In any case, he had made an enemy of him. Although he couldn’t kill Wu Shen, he absolutely had to interfere with the Wu Shen Cult’s affairs. Not only would he interfere, but he would also destroy the Wu Shen Cult.

Completely unaware that danger had already arrived, Bai Hong respectfully received the items and said to Wu Shen.

“As Wu Shen commands, your subordinate will surely complete the mission.”

Wu Shen nodded slightly, and his figure gradually dissipated.

After Wu Shen’s phantom dissipated, Bai Hong’s eyes became sharp. He knew that although this task was difficult, the opportunity given by Wu Shen was rare, and he must give it his all.

Although he was unsure of the armored man’s strength, since it was Wu Shen’s entrustment, he figured the opponent’s strength must be extraordinary, and he needed to plan carefully.

There was still plenty of time, and Wu Shen had also told him to handle the current matters first before going to Jubei City, so Bai Hong wasn’t worried about this. His mind was now focused on the treasures Wu Shen had bestowed upon him.

However, with Liang Yu, that sly one, by his side, there was no surprise at all.

The few items that were originally floating in front of Bai Hong vanished in the blink of an eye.

This left Bai Hong stunned.

Bai Hong snapped back to reality, his eyes instantly wide with rage, and he roared.

“Who is it? Get out here!”

The furious roar echoed in the confined space.

Liang Yu did not step out from the shadows. At this moment, a playful smile played on his lips.

He just wanted to see this Black-robed Man’s impotent rage, looking like he wanted to kill him but couldn’t, unable to even find where he was.

Bai Hong gritted his teeth and, remembering the mice Wu Shen had mentioned earlier, immediately shouted loudly.

“You damned mice, how dare you steal what Wu Shen bestowed!”

“Today, I will make you sleep here forever.”

With that, Bai Hong’s figure flickered, and he flew like a ghost towards the path they had entered from.

Liang Yu’s brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.

After all, by his count, nearly thirty people had already gone that way, and he didn’t know if they could hold out.

However, he hadn’t heard any gunfire yet, so in Liang Yu’s opinion, the problem shouldn’t be too big; at the very least, they could stall for a while.

It would be different once that Black-robed Man named Bai Hong arrived. The other party was like a maddened beast at the moment; he might just unleash a powerful attack upon meeting them, instantly killing Mario.

This precious time couldn’t be wasted, and he didn’t know how long Mario could hold out.

Looking at the scattered items on the ground, Liang Yu didn’t even bother to see what they were. He collected them, all of them.

Soon, besides the thirty-six white jade pillars, everything else at the scene was put into Liang Yu’s backpack.

Looking at the only remaining white jade pillars, Liang Yu was deeply conflicted.

He very much wanted the white jade pillars, but there was a prerequisite: he didn’t know what would happen if he moved them.

That Wu Shen had just emerged from the white jade pillars.

So now he was a bit worried that moving these white jade pillars would alert the so-called Wu Shen.

After much deliberation, he felt that the old saying was true: the bold get to eat their fill, while the timid starve.

He decided to take a risk.
