#518 - Chapter 517: Dirty Tricks

"This matter, this Divine Envoy agrees!" Fire Crow Daoist said with a smile.

This was not because he couldn't withstand the crowd's pleas, nor was it a momentary impulse, but because of his distrust of Chang Guangming, the incense master of the main altar.

He absolutely did not believe that this person would help them for no reason. Moreover, if he listened to this person's arrangements and went to the main altar with him, their lives would be in his hands. But if they stayed here, at least they had this Golden Law King to keep him in check, and so many believers to rely on as a backing.

Therefore, in these short two breaths, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he finally made a decision contrary to Chang Guangming's voice transmission.

Immediately, cheers thundered, and the sound of shouting 'Long live the Divine Grace Envoy' surged like a landslide, rushing towards the 'Fire Envoy' in the field, whose face was flushed and heart uneasy. He remained unmoved, looking confident.

Chang Guangming behind him had a gloomy face, his eyes darting around, not knowing what he was plotting.

Golden Law King laughed loudly, stepped forward and bowed to Fire Crow Daoist, and said in his rough and hearty voice: "On behalf of Nether Valley, and on behalf of the more than 100,000 believers of the Northern Three Altars, Jin thanks the Divine Grace Envoy for his favor, and thanks the Upper God for his great kindness. I will brave fire and water and repay you with my life!"

If this person were the real 'Divine Grace Envoy,' he certainly wouldn't be able to laugh, because he knew too well what a great achievement it was to drive away the Earth Demon Beasts in the hearts of the believers. As long as someone could do it, their position in the hearts of the believers would be no different from that of the Cult Master, or even three points stronger than the Cult Master.

However, this person, or these two people, obviously did not have this ability. Once they failed to do it, this so-called 'Divine Grace Envoy' would only be able to be trapped in Nether Valley, slowly clearing the Earth Demon Beasts here!

He glanced approvingly at Chai Laoqi in the crowd, thinking that he was indeed worthy of being his, Lao Jin's, number one strategist. With a casual idea, he resolved this accident with a combination of offense and defense.

It could be said that the 'Fire Envoy' agreeing to the request to eliminate the Earth Demon Beasts pushed the welcome banquet to a climax. All the believers spontaneously danced the dance of praise to the Candle God, expressing their gratitude and joy.

Fire Crow Daoist, Golden Law King, Chang Guangming and others still sat at the main table, watching the magnificent dance under the bonfire while talking about the Earth Demon Beasts.

This topic was of course brought up by Chang Guangming.

"Fire Envoy, do you know what Earth Demon Beasts are?"

Fire Crow Daoist knew that this person was somewhat resentful and wanted to test him, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "I suppose they are just some demonic creatures."

A sneer appeared on Chang Guangming's face, and he said unceremoniously: "Fire Envoy, Earth Demon Beasts are indeed some demonic creatures, but they are not simple. They have one major characteristic, which is that they live in very deep places in the soil, like cultivators who are good at earth escape, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and are difficult to defend against. To talk about their strength, most of them are below the Foundation Establishment stage, not worth mentioning. However, their tracks cannot be found at all, so how can they be driven away? Does the Envoy have any good methods?"

When Fire Crow Daoist heard that they could only use earth escape, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Since this Envoy has come with the will of the Upper God, I naturally have a way. I just don't know, among these Earth Demon Beasts, how many are at the Saint Core realm, and how many are at the Avatar realm?"

Chang Guangming was the most certain among all the demonic cultivators that Fire Crow Daoist and his group were Daoist cultivators who had accidentally been drawn into the Netherworld Cave. He was the first to acknowledge and maintain these people's status as Divine Grace Envoys, but only to disrupt Golden Law King's arrangements. He didn't really care about their strength.

At this time, seeing Fire Crow Daoist pretending to be calm and composed, he couldn't help but find it a little funny and a little annoyed.

If these two 'Divine Grace Envoys' stayed in Nether Valley for a long time, it would be very bad for the Left Envoy's plan. Because, since the Upper God sent an envoy to heal Lord Candle Dragon, the Cult Master candidate cannot fuse with Lord Candle Dragon before the Divine Grace Envoy bestows divine grace, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to the Upper God.

However, Earth Demon Beasts are not so easy to deal with! In the history of the Divine Cult, many Cult Masters have organized large-scale hunts, captures, and destruction campaigns, but they only achieved temporary success, scaring the Earth Demon Beasts from showing their heads for many years. However, as time passed, those Earth Demon Beasts emerged everywhere like bamboo shoots after a rain, and were still rampant.

Therefore, the Divine Cult's method is to organize a large-scale beast-killing operation about every hundred years, severely打击 them once, and ensure decades of peace.

However, for the past thousand years, the Candle God Cult has had no Cult Master. In the first few hundred years, the Left and Right Divine Envoys could still get along harmoniously. They joined hands to unite the believers and were still able to carry out the beast-killing operations on schedule.

However, in the past three or four hundred years, the new Left and Right Divine Envoys have been at odds, leading their respective forces in endless infighting, and have never organized a single beast-killing operation, resulting in a rampant plague of Earth Demon Beasts, and ordinary believers in various places have suffered unspeakably, hoping that a new Cult Master will appear and lead everyone back to unity and restore glory.

Chang Guangming restrained the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "The Earth Demon Beasts are not strong individually. There are very few at the Saint Core realm. I'm afraid there are not even a few in the entire Desolate Death Zone. In this Nether Valley, I have only heard of two or three. As for those at the Avatar realm, I have never heard of them in ten thousand years.

"However, the power of the Earth Demon Beasts does not lie in their individual strength, but in the fact that they often act in groups, sometimes even like ant swarms, with thousands of Blood Refining realm Earth Demon Beasts swarming in, easily devouring Foundation Establishment realm believers. Even the Law Transmission Envoys in the early Saint Core realm have to avoid their edge. The Envoy has the power and treasures bestowed by the Upper God, so he can easily defeat or even slaughter any Earth Demon Beasts, but these reptiles hidden in the soil are very difficult to clean up, and I am afraid it will take a lot of time!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as the Divine Grace Envoy has the means, it won't take much time. It's good to stay in Nether Valley for a few more days, so that the more than 100,000 believers of the Northern Three Altars can receive the Divine Envoy's blessing up close and enjoy the Upper God's grace." Golden Law King said with a smile. He changed his previous melancholy and became high-spirited and very proud, his big mouth always unable to close.

Chang Guangming rolled his eyes, glared at him and said: "Golden Law King, what you said is very inappropriate. The Divine Grace Envoy is carrying out the Upper God's will and is going to the main altar to heal Lord Candle Dragon. How can he put the cart before the horse and delay time here. If Lao Chang has his way, it's better to go to the main altar first, complete the Upper God's instructions, and then come back here to assist the Cult Master in driving out the Earth Demon Beasts. The round trip won't take much time!"

"Putting the cart before the horse?" Golden Law King glared with his copper bell-like eyes, "Lao Jin doesn't like to hear this! Aren't the believers the foundation of this cult? This is a truth that Cult Masters of all generations have adhered to! Without these believers, where would the Candle God Cult's strength come from!"

Chang Guangming knew that he had misspoke in his haste, and did not dare to argue, and quickly avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial, saying: "Chang did not mean that, but that things should be prioritized. Clearing the Earth Demon Beasts is, after all, a time-consuming task. It may be best to put it aside for the time being, and wait until Lord Candle Dragon is healed, and a new Cult Master is born. Then, the new Cult Master, with the help of the Divine Grace Envoy, will concentrate the power of the entire cult and launch a grand Earth Demon Beast clearing operation. Wouldn't that be more powerful and effective!"

Although Golden Law King was a rough man, he still had a few tricks up his sleeve. How could he let Chang Guangming get around him like this? He immediately retorted: "Incense Master Chang, what you said is still wrong. It is certainly true that things should be prioritized. However, in Lao Jin's opinion, driving out the Earth Demon Beasts in this Nether Valley and the Northern Three Altars is the top priority.

"You also saw the believers' pleas just now. After the Divine Grace Envoy agreed to their request, you felt their heartfelt joy even more. What does this mean? It means that the believers have suffered from the Earth Demon Beasts to the point of being unbearable. If we don't do something, the believers may run away and disperse. At that time, even if a new Cult Master is born, who will he be the Cult Master of? There will be no believers!

"Moreover, Lao Jin thinks that the Divine Grace Envoy does not need to clean up all the Earth Demon Beasts, just roughly kill them and suppress their arrogant arrogance, giving the believers a chance to breathe. Then go to the main altar to heal Lord Candle Dragon and merge to produce a new Cult Master. At that time, everything will naturally be promising!"

These words left Chang Guangming speechless. Although he knew that Golden Law King was somewhat sophistical, this was his territory after all, and the surrounding people were all believers of Nether Valley. How could he dare to take the risk of depriving them of their hope of survival!

After the banquet, Golden Law King arranged for Fire Crow Daoist, Zhang Yuanjing and others to stay in the luxurious guest rooms on the top floor of his building, while he lived in the outermost room, and arranged for Chang Guangming to stay on the floor below, not giving him the opportunity to contact the Divine Grace Envoy alone.

Of course, upstairs and downstairs, for these Saint Core realm demonic cultivators, were equal to being close at hand, and it was easy to monitor each other. He, Lao Jin, also had no way to contact the Divine Grace Envoy alone.

Late at night, Chai Laoqi went to the top floor and entered Golden Law King's room.

"Laoqi, why are you back so soon? Have you gone to see Right Envoy Jin and Lao Bai?" Golden Law King was waiting for Chai Laoqi. Seeing him come in, he invited him to sit down while activating the isolation formation in the room.

"I only went to Right Envoy's place. Zou Qizhi, White Law King's confidant, happened to be there, so we discussed the situation together, saving a trip to the Holy Fire Hall." Chai Laoqi first gave his master a salute, then sat down calmly and said simply.

"Are Right Envoy Jin and Lao Bai ready?" Golden Law King asked again.

"Right Envoy Jin is confident. He specifically asked his subordinate to bring a message to the Law King that he has contacted a strong ally and will definitely be able to maintain the status quo. As for White Law King, you know that Zou Qizhi of his often only says half of what he knows, hesitatingly, repeatedly saying that he has a way to keep Lord Candle Dragon in a weak state, so that no one can fuse with him." Chai Laoqi said contemptuously.

"Oh, Laoqi, you are not very satisfied with their attitude! What do you mean?" Golden Law King knew his chief strategist very well, knowing that once this person showed this expression, he had already seen through the essence of it.

Chai Laoqi smiled and spoke eloquently: "Law King, look, this strong ally that Right Envoy Jin is talking about is not simple. What kind of strength is needed to make Right Envoy rely on him as a strong ally to deal with Left Envoy, and the scheming Green and Red Law Kings? If the strength is not enough, it means that he is lying and has set up an ambush, and we have to be careful to guard against it. If the strength is strong, how strong must it be? Saint Core realm Great Perfection, or Avatar realm, or Nascent Soul cultivator? This requires even more vigilance.

"Compared to Left Envoy, Right Envoy has ulterior motives and great ambitions, always wanting to take power alone and seize Lord Candle Dragon! Therefore, in my opinion, maintaining the status quo, with everyone being evenly matched and carefree, is the best strategy; defeating Left Envoy and balancing the three families is the middle strategy; if neither of these two can be done, then I would rather rely on Left Envoy, it's just that there is one more Cult Master on top of us, that's nothing!"

Golden Law King patted his forehead and said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, you're making so many tricks, why do you say that Left Envoy and Right Envoy have so many thoughts! It's so good the way it is now, everyone manages their own area and gets along harmoniously, isn't it good? Why do you have to create these disputes, and kill and set fire at every turn! Although I, Lao Jin, like to fight and kill, I don't want to kill my own people!

"Well, Laoqi, I agree with everything you said, that's the truth. Our Nether Valley and the Northern Three Altars still have to stand on the side of the cult rules and the truth, we can't let the believers point fingers at our backs, and we can't let everyone suffer! What's the situation on Lao Bai's side?"

Chai Laoqi's face straightened, and he said in a low voice: "Your subordinate secretly asked Zou Qizhi a few more questions, and this guy still let something slip, saying that he has a way to tame Lord Candle Dragon!"

"What!" Golden Law King jumped up as if his ass was on fire, "He can still tame Lord Candle Dragon!"

"Shh, Law King, keep your voice down!" Chai Laoqi stood up, carefully listening outside with his ear, before sitting down and continuing, "This is my speculation. That kid's original words were 'appease'. I thought to myself, what is appeasement? What kind of appeasement can keep Lord Candle Dragon weak, and not take the opportunity to recover his strength? Obviously, it is to control Lord Candle Dragon, isn't this the method of taming beasts!"

Golden Law King clenched his fists, his lips trembling: "For thousands of years without a Cult Master, the faith of the cult's high-level in the Candle God has, has declined to this point! They are even trying to control Lord Candle Dragon, this is blasphemy against God! If the news leaks, the Divine Cult, the Divine Cult will collapse and disappear into smoke!"

Chai Laoqi said faintly: "Therefore, dragging the Divine Grace Envoy here is actually a good thing for the Divine Cult. If the Divine Grace Envoy does not arrive, the main altar ceremony cannot be held, and the so-called healing Lord Candle Dragon and merging with Lord Candle Dragon naturally cannot be carried out. In this way, no matter Right Envoy or White Law King, their prepared methods will have no chance to be used!"
