Chapter 1432: Warning from the Hidden God
Before Miao Su could finish speaking, the eight figures had already charged into the beast horde.
Several Human Apex-level auras surged forth—thunder, hurricanes, sword lights... attacks blossomed within the beast horde like flowers. In merely a moment, a large swath of the beasts had been slaughtered.
Two Divine Beasts seemed to sense the danger, letting out furious roars as they charged directly toward the central black-cloaked figure!
"Little Grass, Little Stone."
A low voice emerged from beneath the black cloak. Two shadows dashed forward—one clapping both hands against his chest, releasing a solid wave of sound that slowed the two Divine Beasts mid-air, while the other placed his hand on the sword hilt at his waist, a brilliant blade light blooming forth!
The sword light struck the two Divine Beasts, leaving ferocious blood wounds. As a shadow rose slowly in the sky above, two thick bolts of thunder crashed down, instantly charring the Divine Beasts to cinders.
"Captain Lei." The central figure murmured softly. "Let's take back what belongs to us..."
As dense arcs of electricity crackled around the figure in the sky, shattered silver fragments beneath the earth were drawn up by the lightning, slowly floating into the air!
The electric lights intertwined in the air. Hundreds upon hundreds of silver fragments, like iron drawn to a magnet, rapidly converged before the figure.
A moment later, the outline of eight silver pillars gradually took shape!
Originally, these seven Thunder God Pillars had been shattered in the initial fierce battle. Now, after reconstruction, each pillar was slightly smaller, but the number had grown from seven directly to eight!
With a forceful press of the figure's hands, the eight cracked Thunder God Pillars plunged into the earth with a thunderous roar. Thunder lights interwove, forming a dazzling wall of lightning across Chennan Pass.
The eight figures leapt lightly, landing atop the eight Thunder God Pillars respectively. A terrifying pressure of realm descended!
"Hmm?"
The Human Apexes battling at various positions outside Chennan Pass seemed to sense something and turned their heads simultaneously.
"It's him?" Zuo Qing's figure gradually descended near the southern outer wall. Seeing the figure standing at the center of the Thunder God Pillars, a complex expression flickered across his eyes.
He stepped forward, arriving before the eight figures.
"[Spirit Medium] Squad's current captain, Wu Tongxuan, pays respects to Commander Zuo." Wu "Old Dog" on the Thunder God Pillar lifted his black cloak's hood and spoke solemnly.
"Wu Tongxuan..."
Zuo Qing knew Wu Tongxuan, but they weren't close. Wu "Old Dog" had entered the Purification Chamber during Ye Fan's tenure as Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch. At that time, Zuo Qing was merely Ye Fan's assistant. He only knew of Wu "Old Dog"'s existence within the Purification Chamber but had no deep interactions with him.
"Thank heavens you arrived." Zuo Qing said with relief. "With new Human Apexes joining, our pressure will be greatly reduced..."
"[Spirit Medium] Squad awaits Commander Zuo's orders."
Not far away, Hongying and the others gazed at these eight figures descending from the heavens. Their sweaty palms finally relaxed.
"So this is [Spirit Medium]... truly powerful." Hongying couldn't help but exclaim.
"How else could they be a special squad?" Wen Qimo smiled. "Speaking of which, Qiye the kid is the captain of [Nightfall] now, right? I wonder if we'll see him this time..."
Upon hearing the name "Qiye," Hongying's eyes immediately brightened.
"We should be able to, right? With something this big happening at Chennan Pass, they definitely have to come! I wonder what Qiye looks like now after all these years..."
"You know Lin Qiye?" Molly asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Hongying placed her hands on her hips, speaking proudly. "Back then, he used to call me 'Sister Hongying' too!"
"You know him too?" Wen Qimo asked.
"Mm." Molly nodded slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she still spoke. "Many people in [Nightfall] were my同期."
In her mind, the image of that figure wearing the Zhu Bajie mask unconsciously surfaced, and a pang of bitterness stirred in her heart.
"That's great then! When they arrive, we can all get together!" Hongying said excitedly.
Just as everyone was conversing, a thunderous boom echoed from the horizon!
Everyone turned their heads simultaneously. Two streaks of light had broken through the mist at Great Xia's border and were rapidly approaching Chennan Pass!
"Gods?" Molly's brow furrowed tightly. "Do the Indian Gods have reinforcements?"
Almost simultaneously, a blade of azure light shot into the sky, intercepting the two divine figures.
Zuo Qing gripped his Straight Blade, pushing his speed to the extreme. His expression was grim beyond measure.
At this critical moment, if more foreign gods invaded, it would undoubtedly pose an enormous threat to Great Xia, potentially even breaking the balance between the Great Xia Gods and the Indian Gods.
Just as Zuo Qing was about to pour his spiritual power into the Straight Blade and strike, the two divine figures stopped simultaneously.
They were two oddly dressed deities. From their appearance, they didn't belong to Takamagahara nor Olympus. The aura they radiated was of Lesser God-level fluctuation. Upon seeing this, the heart that Zuo Qing had been holding finally relaxed slightly.
Fortunately—even if a battle broke out, two Lesser Gods were within their capability to handle.
"What do you want?" Zuo Qing gripped his Straight Blade and spoke in a low, stern voice.
The two Lesser Gods exchanged glances and nodded slightly. "We bear no hostility. We were merely ordered to find the Great Xia gods, or a man named Zuo Qing, to deliver a message."
Hearing this, Zuo Qing's brow arched. "I am Zuo Qing... Who are you?"
"We are the 'Hidden Gods.'" One of the Lesser Gods spoke.
"We carry a warning from the Minister of Gods for Great Xia..."
"Minister of Gods?" Zuo Qing was stunned for a moment, then seemed to recall something. "Si Xiaonan? What message did she ask you to convey?"
"The Olympian Supreme God Zeus has been excavating a Cthulhu Faction ruin." One of the Lesser Gods slowly said. "He seems to be attempting to contact the power of the Cthulhu pantheon and make it serve him... Moreover, the Olympian Gods have already gathered on Mount Olympus, seemingly preparing to strike at Great Xia."
Hearing these words, Zuo Qing's expression immediately became grave!
"How do you know this?"
"When we were searching for the Hidden Divine Kingdom, we accidentally entered that ancient Cthulhu ruin. The Minister of Gods sensed something was wrong and immediately led us in breaking out. During our breakout, we encountered Zeus... He was in the center of the ruin doing something. Upon discovering us, he attempted to pursue and kill us. Fortunately, the Minister of Gods' abilities excel at escape, and Zeus seemed somewhat cautious, unwilling to venture too far. In the end, we managed to escape.
After that, we observed the area near the ruin. The Minister of Gods personally went to Olympus to monitor the Greek gods' movements, while sending us ahead to deliver the message."
