Chapter 221 God's Blessing
Screams rang out continuously.
The smell of blood assailed her nostrils.
Every time the black shadows in the gray fog approached, her heart seemed to be tightly clenched, and she couldn't breathe.
Despair filled the Grand Priestess' heart.
She felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It was her stubborn decision that brought destruction to the others.
She knelt heavily on the ground.
"God, if you can hear the prayers of a devout believer, please send down a miracle and save your followers!"
The next moment, the Grand Priestess opened her eyes.
Streaks of bright sparks flew past her eyes.
Wherever the sparks shone, the gray fog was dispelled. The monsters wrapped in black shadows were hit and instantly burned to ashes.
The Grand Priestess looked up and saw Zhao Mu walking towards her on fire like a god.
No, he is a god!
He is the greatest son of god of our Gui Yi Sect.
He really heard my prayers and came in this time of crisis.
God is really protecting us!
At this moment, the Grand Priestess' faith was unprecedentedly pious and pure.
Zhao Mu didn't expect such a coincidence.
But since he had pretended, he had to be more thorough.
"Devout believer, I heard your prayers. Maintain your piety. This is the only way to the Door of Eternal Life."
Zhao Mu was neither sad nor happy. His eyes were filled with the radiance of divinity. He walked towards the Grand Priestess and stroked her hair.
The Grand Priestess was so moved that her whole body trembled. When Zhao Mu stopped, she couldn't help but crawl down, take off Zhao Mu's shoes, and kiss his instep.
Well, she felt that the worship of the Gui Yi Sect had been led astray by Zhao Mu.
But it wasn't a big problem.
Just as the Grand Priestess was kissing his instep, the gray fog in the distance surged again, and several black shadows suddenly jumped out.
Zhao Mu snorted coldly. Like a divine punishment, he blasted out sparks that instantly pierced through the bodies of the black shadows.
Dharma flowed, and flames ignited. A large safe area was quickly cleared out in the gray fog.
At this time, Ji Meng also led the little Phoenixes over.
Seeing that the Gui Yi Sect had suffered heavy casualties, she immediately said, "Go treat the wounded."
Hundreds of disciples were quickly transferred to a safe area.
Except for a dozen who died on the spot, the rest of the injured disciples were properly treated and recovered in a short while.
This included the Priests of Judgement and Fortune.
Zhao Mu called the three of them over for questioning. Very quickly, he understood the whole story.
The first half was the same as what Dami said, but the second half was a small accident.
The Great Priest had led his followers into the core of the Mountain of Flames to search for the remains of the Fire Dragon. However, he accidentally triggered a trap and fell into the ground. He was trapped in this space filled with gray fog and was then attacked by a black shadow.
If Zhao Mu had arrived a few minutes later, they would have been completely wiped out.
Ji Meng also learned about the cause of this from Zhao Mu. When she learned that the Ghost Dao Sect was behind this, Ji Meng was not surprised at all.
"Sister Ji Meng also knows about the Ghost Dao Sect?"
"Don't forget that the mission of our Phoenix Clan has been to resist the Path of Deceit for generations. However, the Path of Deceit is an illusory Law of Will, and it's impossible to resist it directly. On the other hand, the Path of Ghost that was born from the Path of Deceit is our true enemy!"
Zhao Mu's expression changed. "Sister, how much do you know about the Ghost Dao Sect?"
"A lot, but also very little. The Ghost Dao Sect is too secretive. What we can see and come into contact with are all superficial disguises, while the real big fish are hidden deep under the water."
"These years, I have not only lived in seclusion here, but also secretly traveled all over the Immortal Martial Continent, searching for all traces of the Ghost Dao Sect. During this period, I have interacted with the Ghost Dao Sect many times, and even disguised myself to sneak in for a period of time. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I could not get close to the core of the Ghost Dao Sect. Even with my identity as a Tribulation Passing Cultivator, I could not do it."
Hearing Ji Meng's explanation, Zhao Mu's understanding of the Ghost Dao Sect deepened.
This was indeed a very secretive organization, and the power behind it was unimaginable, and could not be underestimated.
Now, it seemed that Kong Miaoyin was the one who knew the most about the Ghost Dao Sect.
But it was too difficult to pry words out of her mouth, more difficult than prying open her other mouth.
Cough, cough, too frivolous.
After a period of rest, the sect members recovered.
Zhao Mu ordered the Great Divine Priest to let them immediately withdraw from this place. Ji Meng also took care of them, and let the clansmen lead them back to the Phoenix Nest Space, and then escort them back.
Then, Zhao Mu began to speed up the cleaning of the surrounding gray fog.
This gray fog was the rotten gas born from the Fire Dragon's corpse, and it was mixed with some other auras, and its composition was very complicated.
But no matter what the composition was, when it encountered Zhao Mu's Pure Yang Qi, it had to be obedient.
As for the monsters in the gray fog, they were not worth mentioning, and could be taken away by a small flame.
But Zhao Mu dealt with it easily, but the phoenixes did not think so.
Even Ji Meng could not help but be a little absent-minded when she saw Zhao Mu quickly clear the underground space.
This efficiency was too fast.
It was not that they had not tried to clear this area, but the gray fog was extremely strange, and ordinary methods could not eliminate it at all. Even if it was temporarily suppressed, it would soon come back again.
But the gray fog that they could not get rid of even with the power of their entire clan was like a toy in Zhao Mu's hands, and it was cleaned up in just a few moves.
Was this the terrifying part of the Divine Body?
The Little Phoenixes, who had previously questioned Zhao Mu, were now looking at Zhao Mu in a different light.
Even Lingling couldn't help but doubt herself.
How could a mere human be so powerful?
Softy, on the other hand, was completely captivated. The way she looked at Zhao Mu was almost the same as those believers.
Zhao Mu could feel the passionate gazes of the girls behind her, and she became more spirited as she worked.
Not long after, the clearing was completed, and the group had arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
After approaching this place, the earth emitted a red light. The temperature was incomparably high, and the rocks were all melted, forming a magnificent lava terrain. The obsidian on the ground emitted a strange luster.
Further ahead was a dark red abyss.
Blazing lava flowed below, and vaguely, one could hear the roar of a dragon.
"The Dragon Spirit is hidden below?"
Ji Meng nodded.
"The Dragon Spirit has been contaminated by the power of the Sly Way and is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to go down?
It's not too late to turn back. "
Zhao Mu smiled faintly. "Follow me closely. I'm very fast."
As soon as she said that, Zhao Mu leaped into the lava.
The scorching heat of thousands of degrees was nothing to Zhao Mu.
The high temperature was secondary. The most terrifying thing about this lava was that it contained an extremely evil aura that would constantly corrode a cultivator's body and even affect their soul.
However, to Zhao Mu, who had the Sun Divine Body, it was still not a threat.
Seeing this, the Phoenixes all followed Zhao Mu into the lava. They all unleashed their Nirvana Flames to protect themselves from being corroded by the lava.
When Phoenix Dawn saw this, she felt a little uneasy, but she still gritted her teeth and followed.
