MARTIAL PEAK 5942
After being called out by the Saintess, a hunchbacked old man walked out among the eight Flag Masters and turned to look down. Clenching his fists, he coughed lightly and said, "I would like to let you all know that ten years ago, the Holy Child of the Spirit Religion had secretly appeared. All these years, he has been hiding his strength in the Divine Palace and cultivating himself!"
The entire hall fell silent as a huge uproar broke out.
Everyone stared at this Xun Flag Master in disbelief, many of them silently digesting this sudden news while many of them asked loudly.
"Flag Master Sikong, the Holy Child has already appeared, how could we not know about this?"
"Saintess, did the Holy Child really appear ten years ago?"
"Who is the Holy Child? What is his current cultivation?"
…
Those who were able to stand in the main hall at this time were all the higher-ups of the Spirit Religion, and all of them were Immortal Ascension stage masters, so they definitely had the qualifications to understand the many secrets of the Spirit Religion, but only now did they discover that there were some things in the Spirit Religion that they were completely unaware of.
Sikong Nan raised his hand slightly, suppressing the clamor of the crowd, and said, "Ten years ago, this old master went out on a mission and was besieged by a group of masters from the Black Ink Religion. I was forced to hide under a cliff to heal my injuries when a young man suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of this old master. The young man's cultivation was still shallow, but he didn't die from falling from a high cliff. This old master's injuries were quite severe, after this old master recovered, he was brought back to the Spirit Religion."
Saying so, he paused for a moment to let everyone digest what he had just said.
Someone said in a low voice, "One day, the sky will split open and a person will descend from the sky, igniting the glory of the light, tearing apart the seal of darkness, defeating the final enemy!" He looked around, his voice becoming louder and more excited, "Isn't this the prophecy left behind by the Saintess?"
"That's right, that's right. To be able to fall from such a high cliff without dying, this child must have a great fortune!"
"Isn't this the Holy Child?"
"No, that boy fell from the sky and indeed fit the prophecy, but the prophecy also said that the sky split open. How do you explain this?"
Sikong Nan seemed to have known that someone would ask such a question, so he slowly said, "You may not know, but the place where this old master was hiding was called Front Line Heaven!"
The person who asked suddenly understood, "I see."
If one were to look up from the top of the Front Line Heaven, the gap between the two cliffs would indeed look like a crack in the sky.
Everything matched!
The appearance of the young man who had descended from the sky fit the prophecy left behind by the first generation Saintess. It was a sign that the Holy Child had appeared!
Sikong Nan continued, "Just as everyone thought, when I rescued that boy, I recalled the prophecy left behind by the first Saintess. After bringing him back to the Spirit Religion, the Saintess summoned several other Flag Masters and opened the sealed land!"
"What was the result?" Someone asked. Although they knew that the result would definitely be good, they couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.
Sikong Nan replied, "He passed the first generation Saintess' test!"
"It's undoubtedly the Holy Child!"
"Hahaha, the Holy Child actually appeared ten years ago. My Spirit Religion has been waiting for so many years, and now it has finally arrived."
"Now those bastards from the Black Ink Religion will have a good time."
…
After letting everyone vent their excitement for a while, Sikong Nan continued, "After ten years of cultivation, the talent, and aptitude displayed by the Holy Child is all top-notch. When this old master saved him, he had just begun cultivating, but now, his strength is no less than any Flag Master."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
The Eight Flag Masters of the Spirit Religion and the Eight Faction Commanders of the Black Ink Religion were all top masters in this world, but they had all cultivated for a long time, at least several dozen years, or even more than a hundred years before reaching their current height.
However, the Holy Child only took ten years to accomplish this. He really was the legendary savior.
Such a person might really be able to break through the limits of this world's Martial Dao and sweep away all of the Black Ink Religion's evils.
"The Holy Child's cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Originally, I had planned to make the matter of the Holy Child public in a while so that he could officially come into being, but now this has happened." Sikong Nan frowned.
Immediately, someone said indignantly, "Since the Holy Child has already appeared and passed the test left behind by the first Saintess, there is no doubt about his identity. In other words, that fellow who has yet to enter the city must be a fake."
"The Black Ink Religion's methods are as despicable as ever. Over the past few years, they have repeatedly used this prophecy to try to plant people into the Black Ink Religion, but none of them have succeeded. It seems they don't even remember the slightest lesson."
Someone stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Saintess, various Flag Masters, please allow this subordinate to lead a group of people out of the city and kill this little thief who pretended to be a Holy Child and blasphemed the Spirit Religion as a warning to others!"
It wasn't just one person who said this, but several others also jumped out, wanting to lead their people out of the city and kill the person who was pretending to be the Holy Child.
The Master of the Li Banner snorted lightly, "If the news hadn't leaked out, we could have just killed him, but now that this news has spread throughout the entire city, all the disciples are eagerly waiting for it. If you kill him now, how are you going to explain this to the disciples?"
A Protector said, "But that Holy Child is a fake."
The Flag Master said, "Everyone here knows that this person is an impostor, but what about the ordinary disciples? They don't know, they only know that the legendary World Savior is about to enter the city tomorrow!"
The Gen Flag Master patted his fat belly and chuckled, "It's true that we can't kill them like this, otherwise the consequences will be too great." He paused for a moment before narrowing his eyes slightly, "Has everyone thought about how this news came about?" Turning his head, he looked towards a woman in the middle of the Eight Banners, "Sister Guan, your Dui Banner are in charge of the inside and outside information of the Spirit Religion, so you should have investigated this matter, right?"
Guan Miaozhu, the Dui Flag Master nodded and said, "As soon as the news spread, I immediately ordered someone to investigate. The source of this news came from a deacon named Zuo Wuyou from Zhen Banner. It seems that when he was out on a mission, he discovered the Holy Child and brought him back. He gathered a group of people outside the city and had them release the news, causing the entire city to know."
"Zhen Banner, Zuo Wuyou!" The Gen Flag Master pondered for a moment before saying, "I have vaguely heard of this name before." He turned to look at Zhen Flag Master and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Zuo Wuyou's aptitude is quite good. Sooner or later, he will break through to the Immortal Ascension stage."
The Zhen Flag Master said lightly, "Fatty, why do you care so much about my subordinates?"
The Gen Flag Master chuckled, "We are all disciples of the Spirit Religion, as the Flag Master, shouldn't I show some concern?"
"Don't even think about it, how many of the elites under my banner have been taken away by you over the years? I'm warning you, don't even think about the disciples under my Banner."
The Gen Flag Master wore a worried expression, "There's nothing we can do about it, my Gen Banner has always been responsible for charging and breaking through enemy lines. Every time we fight with the Black Ink Religion, we suffer losses, so we need to find a way to replenish our forces."
The Zhen Flag Master snorted lightly and said, "Zuo Wuyou is indeed under my Zhen Banner. He has no parents and has grown up in the Spirit Religion since he was a child. He is loyal to the Spirit Religion and has a straightforward personality. I plan to wait for him to break through to the Immortal Ascension stage before promoting him to become a Protector. There shouldn't be any problems with Zuo Wuyou, unless he is contaminated by the Ink Force and his temperament is distorted."
The Flag Master said, "I also have some impression of Zuo Wuyou, he doesn't seem like someone who would play tricks."
"If that's the case, then it was that fake Holy Child who had Zuo Wuyou gather his people to spread this news."
"Why did he do that?"
Everyone was puzzled. Since this guy was an impostor, how could he have the guts to make everyone know about this? Wasn't he afraid that someone would confront him?
Suddenly, a person rushed over from outside and after greeting the Saintess and the various Flag Masters, he came over to the Li Flag Master and whispered something to him.
The Li Flag Master's face went cold as he asked, "Are you sure?"
The man cupped his fists, "This subordinate saw it with his own eyes!"
The Flag Master nodded slightly and waved his hand. The man bowed and left.
"What's the situation?" Gen Flag Master asked.
The Li Flag Master turned around and bowed to the Saintess in the lead, saying, "Your Highness, after the Li Banner receive the news, I ordered people to go to the manor Zuo Wuyou once occupied outside the city. I wanted to take the initiative to control Zuo Wuyou and that fake Holy Child, but someone seemed to have taken the initiative and destroyed that manor."
Gen Flag Master raised his brow in surprise, "Someone secretly attacked them?"
Above them, the Saintess asked, "What about Zuo Wuyou and that fake Holy Child?"
The Li Flag Master said, "The manor has been reduced to ruins and there are no traces of blood or fighting. It seems that Zuo Wuyou and the fake Holy Child have already been evacuated."
"Oh?" The Kun Flag Master, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyes, a playful smile appearing on his face, "This is really interesting. Not only did this fake Holy Child spread the news that he was going to enter the city tomorrow, but he also sensed danger and moved his hiding place in advance. This guy is not simple."
"Who wants to kill him?"
"No matter who it was that wanted to kill him, now it seems that the environment he was in wasn't safe, which is why he spread the news, causing everyone to know about him so that those who were hostile towards him wouldn't act rashly!"
"So, he will definitely enter the city tomorrow! No matter who he is or why he pretends to be the Holy Child, as long as he enters the city, we can capture him and interrogate him!"
The several Flag Masters quickly concluded the matter!
It was just that Zuo Wuyou and the fake Holy Child had actually attracted the murderous intent of an unknown master, and now someone was trying to assassinate them outside the city. This made everyone somewhat puzzled, wondering what kind of enemy they had provoked.
"How long until dawn?" The Saintess asked.
"Less than an hour, Your Highness," someone replied.
The Saintess nodded, "In that case, Flag Master Li, Flag Master Ma."
Li Feiyu, the Master of the Li Banner, and Ma Chengze, the Master of the Gen Banner, immediately stepped forward and said in unison, "This subordinate is here."
The Saintess ordered, "The two of you will wait at the city gate. When Zuo Wuyou and the fake Holy Child appear, bring them over."
"Yes!" The two of them nodded and left the hall.
