MARTIAL PEAK 5938

Yang Kai suddenly asked, “Brother Zuo, does your Sect often find hidden Black Ink Religion disciples?”

“What?” Zuo Wuyou instinctively replied, but quickly reacted, “Holy Child means…”

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Anhe’s voice rang out beside their ears. With the concealment of the Spirit Array, no one knew where he was hiding, but at this moment, his gentle and warm tone had completely changed, his voice filled with cruelty and ruthlessness, “Zuo Wuyou, the Spirit Religion has nurtured you for so many years and trusted you. Today, you colluded with a member of the Black Ink Religion and ruined my Spirit Religion’s foundation. Do you understand your crimes?!”

Zuo Wuyou heard this and called out, “Sir Chu, I, Zuo Wuyou, was born in the Sect and grew up in it. It was the Sect that gave me everything. If it weren’t for the Sect’s protection all these years, how could Zuo Wuyou have today’s glory? My loyalty to the Spirit Religion can be seen by the Heavens and Earth. What did Senior say about me colluding with the members of the Black Ink Religion?”

Chu Anhe coldly snorted, “Still trying to act tough? Isn’t the person beside you a member of the Black Ink Religion?”

Zuo Wuyou frowned and asked, “Senior Chu, are you…”

“Ha!” Chu Anhe shouted, “He is a disciple of the Black Ink Religion, how dare you call him Holy Child?”

Zuo Wuyou immediately changed his tone, “Brother Yang and I traveled together and killed many members of the Black Ink Religion, he chased the Yu Faction Commander away, and injured the Earth Faction Commander. If it weren’t for Brother Yang’s protection, this Zuo would have long become a lonely ghost. Brother Yang is definitely not a member of the Black Ink Religion.”

Chu Anhe’s voice remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, “You said that he chased the Yu Faction Commander away and injured the Earth Faction Commander?”

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Hahahaha!” Chu Anhe laughed loudly.

“Why is Sir Chu laughing?” Zuo Wuyou asked solemnly.

Chu Anhe shouted, “Idiot! This person on your side is only a True Element stage cultivator. You must know that Yu Faction Commander and Earth Faction Commander are both powerful masters of this world. Even if this king were to face them, he would only be able to poke his neck. How could he possibly defeat those two? Zuo Wuyou, did you eat too much lard and lose your mind? How could you not see through such a simple trick?”

Zuo Wuyou suddenly became suspicious and couldn’t help glancing over at Yang Kai.

That’s right, before this, he had only been shocked by Yang Kai’s display of strength, yet he was able to fight across realms and even defeat the two leaders of the Black Ink Religion, but what if this was a show arranged by the enemy to gain his trust?

Now that he thought about it, there seemed to be something wrong with the timing and location of the appearance of this suspected Holy Child…

Zuo Wuyou was somewhat confused.

Meeting his gaze, Yang Kai simply smiled lightly and said, “Old Sir, I’m actually not very interested in your Holy Child, but Brother Zuo seems to have misunderstood something, so he called me that. Whether I am or not, it doesn’t matter. The only reason I’ve come all this way is to see your Saintess. Old Sir, would it be convenient for you?”

Chu Anhe coldly snorted, “Even in the face of death, you still dare to speak such sweet words. The Saintess is such a noble character, how could a mere Black Ink Religion disciple like you see the her?”

Yang Kai immediately became somewhat unhappy, “You keep calling me a spy from the Black Ink Religion, how can you be so sure I’m from the Black Ink Religion?”

Chu Anhe was silent for a moment before he finally spoke, “Now that things have come to this, there’s no harm in telling you! The true Holy Child of the Spirit Religion was found ten years ago! If you weren’t a member of the Black Ink Religion, why would you pretend to be one?”

“What?” Zuo Wuyou was shocked.

“This matter was originally classified and only the Saintess, Eight Flag Masters, and a few others knew about it! However, the Spirit Religion has already decided to let the Holy Child appear and stabilize the hearts of the Spirit Religion, so it is no longer classified!”

Zuo Wuyou stood there in a daze. This news had a great impact on him.

It turned out that ten years ago, the Holy Child of the Spirit Religion had been found!

But if that was the case, then what was the person standing beside him? When he appeared, he had indeed embodied the prophecy left behind by the first Saintess.

It was no wonder that along the way, the Spirit Religion had not sent anyone to receive them. The Black Ink Religion had already dispatched two Commander level powerhouse, but not only was the Spirit Religion's response slow, the only one to arrive was only an Elder level. In that instant, Zuo Wuyou understood many things.

It wasn’t that the Spirit Religion didn’t value the Holy Child, but rather that the true Holy Child had been found ten years ago.

“Zuo Wuyou!” Chu Anhe’s voice calmed down, “Your loyalty to the Spirit Religion is unquestionable, but in the end, this trouble was caused by you, so you need to resolve it.”

Zuo Wuyou cupped his fists and said, “Please instruct me, Sir.”

“Very simple! Kill this fellow who dares to pretend to be the Holy Child beside you and cut off his head!”

Zuo Wuyou was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Yang Kai again, a look of struggle flashing across his eyes.

Yang Kai, on the other hand, didn’t even look at him, as if he hadn’t heard Chu Anhe’s words. Instead, a golden shaft suddenly appeared in his left eye and began to size up the surrounding space, a strange look appearing on his face.

On the side, Zuo Wuyou struggled for a long time before pointing his sword towards Yang Kai, his killing intent slowly condensing.

Yang Kai glanced at him and asked, “Is Brother Zuo going to take action?”

Zuo Wuyou nodded before slowly shaking his head, “Brother Yang, I only have one question, are you really a spy from the Black Ink Religion?”

“If I say no, would you believe me?” Yang Kai smiled at him.

Zuo Wuyou said, “Although this Zuo’s strength isn’t high, he still has a good eye for people. If Brother Yang says no, this Zuo will believe you! But…”

“What?”

“There’s just one more thing I hope Brother Yang can explain.”

“Speak!”

“When the cave’s secret room was surrounded, Brother Yang was contaminated with the Ink Force, so how could he be safe?”

'Do you know about the World Tree? Do you know about Universe Four Pillars?' Yang kai couldn't help complaining in his heart, so he could only say, “If I say that my talent is extraordinary and I have a natural resistance to Ink Force, that thing can’t do anything to me, would you believe me?”

Zuo Wuyou slowly put down the long sword in his hand and smiled bitterly, “I’ve seen too many unbelievable things along the way. I will verify what Brother Yang has said in the future!”

“Oh?” Yang Kai was stunned, “Shouldn’t you believe in the Spirit Religion at this time instead of me, a stranger you’ve only known for a few days?”

Zuo Wuyou shook his head bitterly.

“What are you waiting for? Have you been contaminated by the Ink Force and become a disciple of the Black Ink Religion?” Chu Anhe saw that Zuo Wuyou didn’t move and couldn’t help shouting angrily.

Zuo Wuyou suddenly raised his head, “Sir, whether or not this Zuo has been contaminated by the Ink Force, all I need to do is meet with the Saintess and allow her to use the Cleansing Incantation to clear my mind. It’s just that this Zuo has something he doesn’t understand right now, please enlighten me!”

Chu Anhe’s impatient voice rang out, “Speak!”

Zuo Wuyou said, “Sir thinks that Brother Yang is a spy from the Black Ink Religion, so it’s reasonable for this operation to target Brother Yang! But why does this Great Array… involve this Zuo! Sir, this Great Array is extremely dangerous, this Zuo has some experience in the Dao of Arrays and can more or less understand some of its mysteries. Does Sir want to kill this Zuo and Brother Yang here?”

The last sentence was shouted.

Yang Kai raised his brow and couldn’t help patting Zuo Wuyou’s shoulder, “Good eyesight!”

With his Demon Eye of Annihilation, Yang Kai was able to see through the mysteries of this great formation. This was an absolute killing formation, and once the power of this formation was activated, unless one had the ability to break it, they would definitely die without a burial.

Zuo Wuyou was keenly aware of this, which was why he didn’t dare trust Chu Anhe completely. Otherwise, no matter how much of a person he was, when it came to the Holy Child of the Spirit Religion, it was impossible for him to trust Yang Kai so easily.

“Stubborn fool!” Chu Anhe didn’t explain anything, “It seems your temperament has been distorted by the Ink Force. Unfortunately, my Spirit Religion has lost another good man! Kill them!”

As soon as he finished speaking, both Yang Kai and Zuo Wuyou noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had changed, and a fierce killing intent surged towards them from all directions!

Zuo Wuyou roared, “Chu Anhe, I want to see the Saintess!”

“You’ll never see her again!”

Zuo Wuyou suddenly realized something, “So you’re the Black Ink Religion’s spy!”

Chu Anhe coldly snorted, “What is the Black Religion to this old master? Zuo Wuyou, everything in this world isn’t as simple as you think it is. It’s not just black and white, it’s a pity you can’t see it.”

“Old bastard!” Zuo Wuyou grit his teeth and cursed before reminding Yang Kai, “Brother Yang, be careful. This great formation’s power is extraordinary, it’s not easy to deal with, we may all die here.”

The Dao of Array was not something ordinary people could resist. Although he had witnessed Yang Kai’s strength, once he fell into this great array, it would be difficult for him to display his full strength.

Yang Kai just smiled lightly and sat down on a nearby stone block, “Don’t worry, we won’t die.”

Zuo Wuyou was stunned, unable to understand how this brother could remain so calm at this time.

Just as he was puzzled, he heard a miserable scream from outside. This scream was extremely short and suddenly stopped.

Zuo Wuyou was no stranger to this sound, it was the cry of a dying man.

Miserable screams rang out one after another as Chu Anhe’s voice rang out, accompanied by great terror, “It’s actually you! No, don’t, I’m willing to submit to the Black Ink Religion, spare my life!”

Zuo Wuyou’s hair stood on end.

One had to know that Chu Anhe was also an Immortal Ascension master, but at this moment, he was actually shaking his tail and begging for mercy.

However, it was obviously ineffective, and in the next moment, his screams rang out.

A moment later, the dust settled.

Most of the people from the Spirit Religion outside had died, and without them presiding over the Spirit Array, the illusion enveloping Yang Kai and Zuo Wuyou had also disappeared along with the destruction of the Spirit Array. A graceful figure carrying a shriveled body gently landed in front of Yang Kai, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light as she stared at him, her red tongue licking her lips as if Yang Kai was some delicious food.

Zuo Wuyou’s face paled as he raised his sword and shouted, “Xue Ji!”
