Chapter 1656 - 1532: Offending the Heavenly God?
What Good and Evil Envoys, and the Captain of the Good and Evil Envoys—he’s practically like a Heavenly God, a figure out of legend, an unmatched powerhouse.
"Then how did Ye Qingfeng..."
"The Judge personally made a move, he and Ye Qingfeng both suffered heavy injuries, and in the end, Wan Potian chased Ye Qingfeng down and killed him." That man reported.
"So that’s how it is..." Mu Wushuang murmured, her heart still trembling, unable to believe it. "Ye Qingfeng is dead—shouldn’t that be something I should be happy about..."
...
This scene was spreading through other Sects as well—for example, within the Mountain River Sect.
The Mountain and River Sect Master and the elders had died tragically, the Mountain River Sect had plummeted, but their Sect’s genius Mu Pingping was still alive; the Mountain River Sect still had hope of rising again.
At this moment, the Mountain River Sect was in an uproar of excitement. Having received the news of Ye Qingfeng’s death, the Mountain River Sect was overjoyed, just short of laying out a wine banquet to celebrate. At the same time, Ye Qingfeng had stepped onto a broad avenue, halfway up the mountain stood a series of magnificent temples.
Moon Worship Sect.
The Moon Worship Sect was built halfway up a large mountain, bustling with people. A wide staircase spiraled upwards, people heading up the mountain in an unending stream.
Among them were not only people from nearby towns; even villagers from dozens of kilometers away had come here to worship and pray.
There were even many people from the cities, full of a modern vibe; some were even wearing West Lake ties, looking quite luxurious, like a bunch of big bosses.
Yet they still went up the mountain devoutly, their manner extremely respectful.
After passing a corner, one could see the temples of the Moon Worship Sect.
In front of Ye Qingfeng, the path was crowded with people; this was a long staircase.
Whether villagers, urban white-collar workers, or wealthy big bosses, all were kneeling on the staircase, moving forward a few steps at a time, bowing their heads to the ground.
"Big bro, up ahead is the territory of the Moon Worship Sect. W-we can leave now, right?" Ding Xiao’s older cousin was named Ding Tong; his face was ugly as he spoke.
Ye Qingfeng gave him a glance, saying nothing.
Ding Xiao’s body trembled instantly. This guy had just killed his cousin—he was a murderer, someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.
"Th-then should we kneel and move forward too?" Ding Tong asked cautiously.
"Say one more word... and die." Ye Qingfeng’s voice was utterly cold, while his expression remained perfectly calm.
Ding Tong didn’t dare say another useless word. His body shook, and he immediately led the group, stepping onto the staircase.
As Ye Qingfeng and his people walked up the stairs, they instantly drew surprised stares. The Moon Worship Sect was very famous in this area; everyone knew their rules—if you wanted to go up the mountain to worship, you had to kneel and move forward.
Rumor had it that when the Moon Worship Sect was first established, some local punks had come to cause trouble and were severely taught a lesson.
Later, a boss of an underground force refused to accept this; not only did he go up the mountain without kneeling, he even barged into the temple to make a scene. An elder from the Moon Worship Sect came out, barked a single rebuke, and scared that gang boss off.
A week later, that notorious gang boss died quietly and without a sound; even the coroner couldn’t find a cause.
After that incident, the Moon Worship Sect’s fame soared. Later, various supernatural events happened, and the Moon Worship Sect’s reputation grew more and more illustrious.
As the group strode forward, the kneeling believers were each shocked and furious.
"How dare these people be so bold, not kneeling in front of the Moon Worship Sect?"
"Exactly, they’re desecrating the Heavenly God—do they want severe punishment?"
"Heh, they won’t perform the kneeling ritual and still hope for the Heavenly God’s protection? Their hearts aren’t sincere—this trip of theirs is destined to yield nothing!"
The kneeling crowd all began voicing their opinions.
"Bro, stop kneeling, okay? It’s useless, all of this is just superstition." At this moment, a girl kneeling on the steps spoke to a man beside her.
"You don’t understand. The Moon Worship Sect really has a revered Divine. If we want the Heavenly God’s protection, to have Him bless Mother’s illness to heal, we must kneel devoutly all the way up the mountain!" the man said firmly.
"It doesn’t work at all. It’s superstition. Look, they’re just walking straight up the mountain." The girl pointed at Ye Qingfeng and the others.
"Hmph, if they don’t kneel to the Heavenly God, they not only won’t be protected, they’ll incur the Heavenly God’s wrath!" the man said coldly.
His gaze toward Ye Qingfeng actually carried a hint of displeasure and anger. He was a believer of the Moon Worship Sect; naturally, he was very resentful of those who didn’t believe.
"Bro."
The girl felt helpless. Their family’s money had all been donated to the Moon Worship Sect, and now they were still coming to kneel and pray devoutly, even offering blood in exchange for some illusory blessing.
Yes, blood.
The Moon Worship Sect demanded that these believers regularly come to the temple to offer their blood.
Yet these believers accepted it gladly.
"Stop right there!" At this moment, a fat man suddenly blocked Ye Qingfeng and his group, shouting angrily, "If you don’t kneel, you’re not allowed to enter the Moon Worship Sect."
"Yeah, don’t let them go up the mountain."
"We can’t let these people desecrate the Heavenly God!"
The fat man’s action immediately drew support from the crowd. Dozens of people all started shouting.
"Big bro... wh-what do we do?" Ding Tong turned and looked at Ye Qingfeng, his face very troubled.
Ye Qingfeng glanced at him again, still saying nothing.
Got it!
Ding Tong’s heart moved; he instantly shut his mouth, turned around, and slapped the fat man across his fleshy face.
"Hit him!"
A dozen lackeys immediately rushed up and started beating the fat man without hesitation. Ignoring his cries, they knocked him to the ground within moments.
The brother and sister from earlier both changed expression; they hadn’t expected this group to be so arrogant, daring to cause trouble here.
"You actually dare beat people at the gate of the Moon Worship Sect, you’re way too arrogant!"
"You’re showing disrespect to the Divine, you’ll be struck down by Heaven!"
The believers were enraged, all shouting harshly, eyes blazing with anger.
Ding Tong and the others glanced at Ye Qingfeng. Ye Qingfeng calmly spat out two words: "Do it."
Ding Tong’s face hesitated for a moment. There were so many believers—if they made a move, they would be completely offending the Moon Worship Sect.
"Hmph, they’ll definitely be punished. The Moon Worship Sect’s Divine will come out soon to severely punish these bastards!" the brother from before shouted sternly.
At this moment, Ding Tong and the rest finally moved. Anyone who dared stand in their way, they simply kicked over. These ordinary believers were no match for them.
"Stop!"
Just then, a man in a suit stood up.
He shrugged off his suit, revealing a body of bulging muscles. Looking at Ye Qingfeng, he said coldly, "A bunch of losers, just some local punks from around here, and you dare act tough at the Moon Worship Sect?"
"I’m the boss of Pingyuan Hall. If you’ve got guts, lay a finger on me and see what happens!"
The muscular man strode toward Ye Qingfeng and his group, his build massive, his roar giving him a very imposing presence.
"Weren’t you all acting tough just now? Come on, if you’ve got the balls, hit me!"
"Bang! Thud thud thud."
That was the sound of the muscular man tumbling down the staircase—he had just stepped in front of Ye Qingfeng when Ye Qingfeng kicked him straight down.
"Move."
Ye Qingfeng walked at the front, heading directly toward the Moon Worship Sect ahead.
"Stop, who are you people?"
Just then, at the top of the staircase, a figure appeared. He wore a gray robe and looked down, rebuking them from on high.
"He’s appeared, the Divine of the Moon Worship Sect has finally appeared—these people are going to be taught a lesson!"
"Hope the Divine strikes directly, uses a Spell to kill these people on the spot!"
"Yeah, let them know that the Heavenly God is not to be provoked!" the crowd of believers shouted angrily.
