Chapter 3207: Members of the Quantity Organization
Wu Yin walked into the divine temple and asked, “What exactly happened? Gong Shang actually dared to seize Radiant Emperor’s Consort. Does he really think that just because his father is Gong Tian, he can act lawlessly?”
“It’s still unclear what he’s specifically plotting, but I, the Master, speculate that he most likely wants to help Tang Lan rescue Chi Cha Luo,” Zhao Wu said.
Wu Yin said, “Chi Cha Luo colluded with the Heavenly Court, the evidence is solid. A traitor like that deserves to die without mercy. If it weren’t for his profound cultivation requiring the Ghost Emperor’s personal judgment, I, the Master, would have long since beaten him to divine form annihilation. Gong Shang saving him—does he want to go against the entire Hell Realm?”
“Perhaps during the years Gong Shang went missing, he was cultivating in the Heavenly Court and has already been won over by them,” Zhao Wu said with a smile.
Wu Yin said, “Luo Wen and Yu Xunqing are all on the Starry Sky Battlefield. I, the Master, must sit in command at the Central Ghost Emperor’s Mansion. As for the Divine Prison, you go guard it for a while. Don’t really let Gong Shang take Chi Cha Luo away!”
“The Central Ghost Emperor’s Mansion has strong defenses, with divine formations one after another. Why do you need to personally sit guard? My good senior brother, this is Fengdu Ghost City. Who would eat a God Venerable or God King’s gall and dare to break into the Ghost Emperor’s Mansion?”
Zhao Wu walked up to Wu Yin, smiled, and said, “Leave the Ghost Emperor’s Mansion to Gong Lan and Gong Bai. Let’s go to the Divine Prison together. Gong Shang’s progress over the years has been enormous. Without senior brother’s help, junior brother alone facing him really has a bit of fear.”
Wu Yin was resolute and said, “No. When the Ghost Emperor left, he instructed that at least one Grand Void realm great god must sit in the Ghost Emperor’s Mansion.”
“In that case, how about junior brother stays to guard the Ghost Emperor’s Mansion?” Zhao Wu said.
Wu Yin became alert, looking at Zhao Wu with a strange expression.
Seeing his suspicion, Zhao Wu decisively struck. The horsetail whisk in his hand transformed into a white divine net, entangling Wu Yin.
“Boom!”
The porcelain bowl flew out, emitting a bone-chillingly cold force, and slammed heavily into Wu Yin.
The sudden turn of events left Wu Yin completely unable to react. His ghost body was blasted apart by the porcelain bowl. White ghost fire and ghost mist filled the entire divine temple.
The formation inscription patterns in the temple all emerged.
The walls, floor, and ceiling flashed with purple electric light, sealing the space, not giving Wu Yin a chance to escape.
“Zhao Wu, what are you doing?”
From within the white ghost fire, Wu Yin’s furious roar sounded. A powerful divine might erupted, and waves of power and tides of rule divine patterns surged toward Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu let out a sharp laugh, using his spiritual power to control the formations in the temple, and said, “The formations in the Azure Cang Divine Temple have already been modified by me, the Master. In this temple, even if it’s you, Wu Yin, or even a peak Grand Void realm powerhouse, don’t even think about escaping.”
Zhang Ruochen, standing outside the temple, discovered that Zhao Wu had released a strand of spiritual power, wrapping around him and suppressing him.
Clearly, Zhao Wu regarded Zhang Ruochen as a divine general and didn’t take him too seriously, so he only restrained him.
Wu Yin’s cultivation was profound. He recondensed his ghost body, sacrificed three Supreme Sacred Artifact ghost banners and a sun-like star, and resisted the formations in the temple.
Wu Yin was not a fool. He understood and said, “You want to control the formation hall in the Central Ghost Emperor’s Mansion? What exactly are you plotting?”
Zhao Wu and Wu Yin’s cultivations were originally about the same.
But just now, Wu Yin had been ambushed, his divine soul injured, and he was already wounded. Plus, Zhao Wu had the entire temple to rely on, so naturally he felt victory was certain.
Zhao Wu said, “Senior brother, the times have changed. The Calamity of Quantities is about to arrive. The revival of the demonic path and the great changes at the North Marsh Great Wall are omens! No one can contend with the Calamity of Quantities. Even existences like Wenhe Ghost Emperor, who could cover heaven and earth, have fallen. How can you all be spared?”
“The Calamity of Quantities is the calamity of heaven and earth. It is heaven and earth being disappointed with this world, wanting to destroy it and rebuild.”
“Heaven and earth give birth to all things, so they are the masters of all things. Who can contend with their own master?”
“We can only follow the will of heaven and earth to have a sliver of hope for survival. Instead of sitting and waiting to die or making useless struggles, it’s better to take concrete action, to tell the heavens above that we are its most loyal servants. We are willing to welcome the Calamity of Quantities, to welcome the new world, and to help it destroy this evil old world.”
Zhao Wu grew more and more excited, his eyes shining, and said, “Senior brother, join us. Only like this can we survive the Calamity of Quantities. Then, in the new world, seek a breakthrough to a higher level.”
“So you’re a member of the Quantity Organization. Good, very good. How many of you have come, and what do you intend to do?” Wu Yin said.
“Bang!”
A Supreme Sacred Artifact ghost banner exploded, burning in the formation and turning to ashes.
The other two Supreme Sacred Artifact ghost banners developed cracks, barely holding on.
Zhao Wu restrained his excited emotions, smiled, and said, “If senior brother wants to join the Quantity Organization, first stop resisting and hand over half of your divine soul to me, junior brother. Then, junior brother will naturally recommend you to the Quantity Envoy!”
“Half of the divine soul? No. Doing so would put my life in your hands, wouldn’t it?” Wu Yin said.
“Bang!”
The second Supreme Sacred Artifact ghost banner shattered, burning fiercely.
“Senior brother, you can think it over some more. There’s still time.”
Zhao Wu let out a sinister laugh, opened the temple door, picked up the suppressed Zhang Ruochen, and threw him into the hall.
Although he was only a false god, once killed, his divine throne planet would go out, inevitably alarming the gods in Fengdu Ghost City. So Zhao Wu only suppressed Zhang Ruochen but didn’t kill him.
The cracks on the third Supreme Sacred Artifact ghost banner grew more numerous. Wu Yin quickly said, “First take me to see the Quantity Envoy. Even if I have to offer my divine soul, I will only offer it to the Quantity Envoy.”
“Why bother, senior brother? Junior brother understands what you’re thinking. Since you’re so stubborn and unyielding, junior brother has no choice but to use ruthless means!”
Zhao Wu fully released his spiritual power, activating all the formations in the temple. Instantly, six divine formations appeared, some like seas of fire, some like war hammers, some like starry skies...
The six formations pressed down simultaneously. “Bang!” The last Supreme Sacred Artifact ghost banner turned to powder.
Knowing he couldn’t resist the six divine formations, Wu Yin immediately hid inside the white sun-like war treasure.
“Since senior brother likes to hide so much, junior brother will refine you into the artifact spirit of this Blazing Sun Ball.”
Zhao Wu walked up to the Blazing Sun Ball floating in the formation, channeled divine qi from his body, pointed a finger, and began to refine it.
The artifact patterns of the Blazing Sun Ball appeared one by one, melting continuously under the refinement of Zhao Wu’s divine power.
Wu Yin’s voice came from within the ball: “No one knows whether the Calamity of Quantities is a calamity of heaven and earth or a man-made calamity. Willingly becoming a slave like this may not lead to a good end.”
“Senior brother’s resolve is firm. Junior brother cannot change you. But once you become an artifact spirit, we can still fight together in the future...”
As Zhao Wu was refining, his gaze suddenly sharpened. He sensed that the divine general he had thrown to the ground had actually stood up and appeared behind him.
How could this be?
Zhao Wu was so startled he nearly lost his soul. Without a second thought, his ghost body dispersed, rushing into the six divine formations.
Facing a ghost clan member without a physical body, Zhang Ruochen did not use sword techniques or fist techniques but instead cast a curse.
The Nether Light Curse erupted, forming a light barrier that trapped nearly half of Zhao Wu’s ghost qi inside.
The other half of the ghost qi escaped into the six divine formations, condensing into Zhao Wu’s divine body. His voice carried a hint of terror as he stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Gong Shang, why is it you again?”
Zhang Ruochen wore half a bone mask, touched his face, and laughed, “That’s right, it’s me, the Master. You, Zhao Wu, have been spreading rumors everywhere that I, the Master, captured Radiant Emperor’s Consort. Truly detestable. I originally came to settle accounts with you, but unexpectedly found a bonus gain.”

Today’s two chapters are only four thousand words. No way around it. I still want to try adjusting my sleep schedule. Otherwise, sleeping at three or four in the morning every day, my daytime state is too poor!
