Chapter 1743 - 1829: Nine Heavens Saint Mother
Fujiwara Keiko claimed to have come to help eliminate the menace Su Xuan, supposedly representing a force of justice.Of course, his true goal was to have this group of foolish cultists distract Su Xuan while his own men secretly sneaked into Heroic Manor to plant explosives, intending to blow the entire place sky-high.
In Fujiwara Keiko’s words, it was "an eye for an eye"; Su Xuan had bombed his base, now he wanted Heroic Manor reduced to ashes.
The people were getting closer, and the voices of these foolish cultists grew louder, giving the impression that they were a bunch of idiots.
"No wonder the nation wants to crack down on these cults so heavily. It’s pure madness!"
Su Xuan smiled as he spoke.
"Indeed, these people don’t use their brains at all. This woman claims to be the Nine Heavens Saint Mother, and they actually believe her."
"Nine Heavens Saint Mother, I’ll see how composed she remains later."
Su Xuan smiled as he spoke.
"Do you think they might have planted explosives below us as well?"
"Uh... it’s not entirely impossible. I must admit, you’ve pointed out something I missed!"
Su Xuan rubbed his nose, a bit embarrassed as he spoke.
"You’re not joking with me, are you?"
Looking at Su Xuan, Bu Daming asked quickly.
"I really didn’t think of it. I’m no deity, everyone has a lapse sometimes, go check it out quickly."
"Okay, I’ll go take a look!"
Bu Daming was at a loss, wondering how this seemingly astute guy could overlook something like that.
By now, those foolish cultists had already arrived in front of Heroic Manor. Fujiwara Keiko muttered something unintelligible, then suddenly shouted.
"The Demon King is right here, everyone, let’s kill the Demon King. Only then can Miaojiang be safe!"
After he finished speaking, these people all seemed to go crazy and charged forward. But at that exact moment, a golden aura suddenly soared into the sky, followed by a dragon’s roar echoing out as a giant dragon, glowing with brilliant golden light, ascended rapidly, then hovered above Heroic Manor.
Witnessing this spectacle, everyone was stunned. Huang Long is Huaxia’s totem and definitely not some creature of evil. At the very least, the common people would never believe it. And the fact that Heroic Manor was under Huang Long’s protection left them bewildered.
"Whoa, what’s happening!"
Brother Meng saw Huang Long appear above Heroic Manor, while the entire manor seemed bathed in a radiant Buddha Light, making them almost want to kneel and worship.
"What kind of evil dares to cause trouble at Heroic Manor!"
Then, a voice echoing as if from the Nine Heavens sounded, carrying an ancient authority. As this voice reached out, another Huang Long ascended skyward, the two dragons flying in tandem, flanking Heroic Manor on the left and right.
"Wha... what’s going on!"
Those who were just shouting to slay the Demon King now felt something was amiss.
"Don’t be fooled by this creature. This is an eye-blocking technique!"
Fujiwara Keiko was equally speechless, confused as to why his informants hadn’t mentioned this.
"This... Nine Heavens Saint Mother, this is Huang Long, it can’t be an eye-blocking technique!"
These cultists had unwavering faith in divine beings. When they saw the legendary Huang Long, they were convinced it was a divine manifestation.
"Roar..."
Suddenly, a white tiger larger than an elephant appeared out of thin air on the right side of Heroic Manor, roaring mightily, causing the air to tremble.
At almost the same instant, a green light shot into the sky from the left, revealing an Azure Dragon that also spat flames.
"Coo..."
The sound of bird cries was heard as a Fire Phoenix soared in from afar, leaving a trail of flame.
Following closely was a giant tortoise with a serpent on its back.
"The Four Great Divine Beasts, it’s divine beings descending to the mortal world!"
"Indeed, indeed, Heroic Manor is blessed by divine spirits!"
"..."
Instantly terrified, those foolish cultists wet themselves, especially those carrying the sedan chair, who dropped it to the ground and knelt, hastily bowing.
"Great Gods, we were wrong, spare us!"
"You stupid fools, this is fake. I’m the real one!"
Fujiwara Keiko roared, but he had already fallen to the ground, with no one listening.
"Look quickly, it’s Buddha!"
Someone suddenly shouted, and amid the Four Great Divine Beasts, a massive Buddha statue slowly rose, radiating Buddha Light so intense it was nearly blinding.
"Why do you dare to cause trouble at Heroic Manor!"
The ancient voice spoke again, as the Buddha moved its mouth and began to speak. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird guarded Buddha, while the two earlier appearing Huang Longs transformed into a multicolored cloud beneath Buddha.
"Forgive us, Buddha, forgive us..."
At that moment, they pressed themselves onto the ground. Having been deceived by Fujiwara Keiko this foolish woman demonstrated the depth of their faith in divine beings. This appearance of the Four Great Divine Beasts at Heroic Manor, coupled with Buddha’s presence, left them no longer doubtful.
"Hmph, you foolish cultists, to be so deceived by a woman claiming to be the Nine Heavens Saint Mother. If she indeed is, then let her manifest her true self and face Buddha. Buddha originally never wanted to interfere in mortal matters, but for you to target Heroic Manor, a place of great virtue, righteousness, and service to the nation, falsely claiming Su Xuan as the Demon King, what punishment do you deserve!"
Buddha spoke while manifesting an enormous hand, as if blotting out the sky and sun, with bolts of lightning swirling between its fingers.
"Buddha, we admit our guilt, that blind woman misled us, please forgive us, for we are innocent!"
At this point, even the Nine Heavens Saint Mother seemed useless as they considered it fake. If not, how would Buddha appear? Indeed, their belief in the real presence of Buddha was firm.
Truly seeing is believing, hearing is deceptive.
