#787 - Chapter 787 Lost God
“Looking back now, attacking Modo was not a wise choice.”
“The disappearance of the Mani Sect has not brought peace to this world. On the contrary, the situation has become even more complex and treacherous.”
“I feel like I'm trapped in a quagmire. The more I struggle, the deeper I sink.”
“Tired, I'm really tired!”
“Hmph. What? Trying to show off your achievements in front of me? Or do you want my sympathy? Sorry, you won't get it.” The Mani Sect leader glared.
“That's not it. I just envy your stupidity. Because when people are stupid, they have fewer worries. And when they have fewer worries, they seem much more confident.” Dongfang Chen mocked.
“You may not know it yet, but almost all the high-ranking missionaries lurking within China have been wiped out. Your sect has no hope of revival.”
“This sub-space was also seized by me from a lurking secret missionary. Her name is Gu Qingyi. I don't know if you've heard of her.”
“That person is amazing. After you were wiped out, she revealed her flaws because she wanted to rebuild the Mani Sect. Before that, I observed her for three years and didn't find a single clue.”
“You said they were wiped out, what do you mean?” the leader asked.
“It's nothing much. The gods in the sky you're trying to contact have controlled them, and now they've all become mindless puppets. The remaining small portion that hasn't been controlled has mostly betrayed you.”
“You wouldn't naively think that only you can activate the sacrificial array, right? Those high-level cultivators can easily activate it as long as they gather the five major divisions.”
“And the consequence of activating it is being controlled.”
Dongfang Chen told him the situation, regardless of whether he believed it or not.
Saying this was also to prove that he was not completely ignorant of these matters.
“You're talking nonsense. Why is it that nothing happens when we activate it?” the leader questioned in disbelief.
“That's because your level is too low. Those lingering things in the sky disdain to control you.”
“Otherwise, why do elders who advance to the fifth level have to leave as missionaries?”
“Because they need to continue weaving lies, not letting you know that improving your cultivation level is a dead end.”
“I don't believe it!” The leader's expression was obviously wrong.
“I'm a little puzzled. Where have all the previous leaders of your sect gone? Those missionaries often have lifespans of hundreds or thousands of years, but it's impossible for all of you leaders to be short-lived ghosts, right? But I've only caught you, one leader. Isn't that strange?” Dongfang Chen keenly seized his weakness.
“The leader has his own place to go.” The leader's eyes flickered slightly.
Dongfang Chen guessed that he probably had doubts about this as well.
If he has a desire for knowledge, it will be easy to handle.
“If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me. I said, we can exchange information.” Dongfang Chen immediately threw out the bait.
“Let me guess, the leader must know some secrets that the elders' hall doesn't know, and these secrets cannot be taken out. And as the leader's cultivation level increases, he can't continue to stay in Modo. What happens if you can't leave and can't stay?”
“Most likely, they all turn into a pile of withered bones in the end.” Dongfang Chen speculated.
This should also be what the leader is most worried about.
“In that case, being a leader really isn't worth it. You give the most, but the ending is the worst. It's really not worth it!”
Dongfang Chen gradually increased the weight.
The leader's expression became confused and sad, as if he was recalling some past events.
“The reason I chose to meet you in the small world today is to tell you a huge secret.” Dongfang Chen felt it was time to cast the hook.
“What secret?” the leader asked.
“The secret of the Secret Department's Myriad Dharma Scripture.” Dongfang Chen said plausibly.
“What's the secret of the Myriad Dharma Scripture?” the leader asked.
As the leader, he certainly knew something about the scriptures of the five divisions.
It's just that he hasn't studied them in detail due to specialization.
“The specific location of the lost deity left by several founders of the Mani Sect that you have been looking for.” Dongfang Chen deceived him.
The Myriad Dharma Scripture repeatedly mentions an important place: the lost deity. But it is vague and unclear where it is.
In order to get information from him, Dongfang Chen deliberately fabricated this bait.
“You know where it is?” The leader stared at him intently.
It seems this bet was right.
“I've already cracked it with a supercomputer. But you know, I can't tell you for nothing. Besides, if I don't let you leave, it's useless even if you know.” Dongfang Chen said.
The leader pondered for a moment and replied:
“Okay, I agree to the trade.”
“Whew~”
Dongfang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting it done.
