Chapter 775: Chapter 363: Blood God’s Lingering Calamity (2)

“But those ordinary people…”

“The gap between them and the Spiritualists is still too large; they simply can’t resist. Once they’re cursed, they will die instantly.”

“So, when faced with such special situations, my actions may seem reactive, but there’s no other choice. If I hesitate and react slowly, people will die because of me. I’d rather err because of that.” Ji Xuankong said.

In the dim light of the cabin, the old man’s figure appeared hunched, his head bowed as his gaze turned towards the depths of the dark corner, his eyes sorrowful and dim.

The incident following the death of the God of Blood was a mess intentionally left to the world in anger and despair.

Ji Xuankong acted for a reason.

But he wouldn’t explain away or make excuses for it, because he knew clearly in his heart that right is right, wrong is wrong. When a mistake is made, one should first acknowledge it and face the consequences, then explain the reasons—that’s the correct process.

Rather than thinking only about one’s own matters, ignoring others’ feelings, prioritizing one’s own emotions, and expecting others to understand.

“Taught by the Ancient God, yet still having this extent of residual energy?” Ye Mingqiu frowned.

“That’s a matter of tier difference. The God of Blood, after all, is a Tier Seven Divinity. Even if it’s just a billionth of His power causing an impact, it’s still insufferable for these ordinary people.” Tang Ruobing explained.

“Hmm.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded.

From a certain perspective, the influence left by the God of Blood after death should not be substantial. If there was really a lot of residual power, then it wouldn’t be ordinary people dying in batches now but mid- and low-tier Spiritualists.

Moreover, the previous outbreak took place in the suburbs rather than in public areas of the city, which indicates that the security within the city is still decent. Ji Xuankong’s deterrence is very strong, others dare not take action under his watch, or they’d be killed before they could harm anyone.

This old man feeling stress-induced guilt is primarily because of his exceedingly strong sense of responsibility, which ultimately led him to feel that he hadn’t done well enough, even when the impact wasn’t as severe, thereby making himself stressed.

If he really hadn’t protected well enough, the city environment would be entirely different now.

“Is there a solution now?”

Ye Mingqiu asked.

“Currently, no. But this crisis won’t last long; whether they take action or not, they will certainly die… In a way, this can be considered a thorough detoxification by bleeding.” Ji Xuankong sighed helplessly.

“…”

Ye Mingqiu remained silent.

He did want to help, but his perception is based on hostility, and given the strength he has showcased, it’s too immense. Those remnants of believers wouldn’t harbor hostility toward him, as they’re fundamentally not on the same level.

Sigh!

Shouldn’t be…

As his thought hadn’t completely ended, he suddenly felt a weak hostility originating from the suburbs. Because the power-gap between him and them is too vast and their hostility is vague, his perception isn’t very clear.

But that’s sufficient.

“Phew~”

Ye Mingqiu released Abyssal Power from within, the pitch-black force forming a three-dimensional map on the ground.

The other people in the room couldn’t help but show surprised expressions, among them, Tang Ruobing was the most confused, still thinking inwardly: No, those guys, wouldn’t really dare show hostility toward him, would they? Are they crazy?

No, are these remnants ill?

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Mingqiu released sacred golden Holy Power once again, using this power to draw a circle on the map. The extreme contrast between gold and black made it easy for them to notice the location Ye Mingqiu marked.

Pointing to that spot, he said, “Search here, within this range, there may be remnants of the God of Blood believers.”

‘Divination Ability?’

Ji Xuankong’s heart trembled, yet feeling incredulous at the same time, as even using Divination Ability, shouldn’t there be a basic casting process? But just now he actually did nothing, yet pinpointed the precise location, what does this count as?

Was it a guess?

Or is he really sure?

…..

Ten minutes later

Four shadows arrived at the indicated location, Ye Mingqiu gazed at the place where malice dissipated, it seemed to be dozens of meters underground, and the position relatively secluded. Judging from the surface, it was completely hidden.

Faced with the slightly skeptical gazes of others, Ye Mingqiu didn’t respond, simply released pressure toward the indicated area below.

Although he was now just at Tier Two Level 2, the real value was Divinity Level. Having slain countless formidable enemies, the terrifying murderous pressure he exerted could even stain the world crimson.

After Ye Mingqiu released pressure, it was obvious from inside the hidden base that some people were panic-stricken, suspecting they had been discovered, even further harboring hostility toward Ye Mingqiu, hoping he wouldn’t locate them.

“Truly a makeshift bunch.”

Ye Mingqiu muttered quietly.

Their actions at this moment seemed laughable and absurd to him, they didn’t even know to calm their minds when being targeted, and then seize a chance to flee.

Of course, this might be because they originally had no hope for survival, and thus were resigned.

In any case, whatever happens.

They’ve been exposed.

The grand Holy Power behind Ye Mingqiu shaped into an arm, then the gigantic arm struck the ground, grabbed, and lifted.

“Boom boom boom!!”

Dozens of meters of earth were upturned, revealing the hidden base interior, where the ceiling had been flung along with the ground, the Spiritualists inside wildly stared at Ye Mingqiu, their eyes resembling they were looking at a monster.

“Look, found it, didn’t we?”

Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

“….Amazing.”

Ji Xuankong couldn’t help but marvel, his eyelids twitching, he couldn’t fathom how Ye Mingqiu managed it.

Meanwhile, to the side, Scott spoke up, “No, something’s off, why do I feel their appearance doesn’t resemble the Blood God followers more like another hidden force.”

“?”

Ye Mingqiu paused slightly.

His Hostility Perception only sensed hostility; the exact source of hostility wasn’t actually relevant.

“Hmm, this looks like a biological experiment site, there are many experiment subjects inside.” Tang Ruobing surveyed the base interior and glanced at Ye Mingqiu beside him, holding back laughter and saying, “Hmm…seems you’ve accomplished quite the feat, resolved a lurking threat.”

“Uh.”

“Although it’s not the target, the target you found seems even more crucial than the Blood God followers; I’ll go down and take care of it first.” Ji Xuankong said.

….

Over two hours later, the hidden base was entirely uncovered.

They weren’t the indigenous forces here but came from an external Spiritualist organization, intending to conduct various biological experiments here. The area they covered was relatively wide, even capturing previous Blood God followers and transforming them into biological weapons.

Regrettably, their transformation hadn’t completed, only reaching the second stage. If nothing unexpected happened, given two more years, perhaps they could incite a much larger commotion.

Even more terrifying than the Blood God followers’ attacks!

“Well done, though you didn’t find the specific target, you did a great job catching the hidden big fish.” Tang Ruobing said with a smile.

The cause of this incident was a mad scientist within the base. Although merely ordinary, he possessed immense wisdom, reaching pinnacle levels in biological research.

His understanding of Spirit Realm exploration wasn’t much, he solely focused on experimentation.

Upon discovering Ye Mingqiu in the city, this scientist became intrigued, thinking if he could turn Ye Mingqiu into his own specimen, it would be splendid. Thus arose subtle hostility and malice.

And then he was perceived.

However, in truth, it wasn’t that he and the lab personnel were incautious, but rather previously no Spiritualists could perceive hostility from an ordinary person with such terrifying efficiency.

In reality, Ye Mingqiu couldn’t achieve this either, he could merely detect a general range, then specify the location by releasing pressure.

“Brilliant work, without you pulling them out earlier, perhaps in a few years Chenghai City would face a horrific disaster.” Ji Xuankong said with a smile.

“….”

Ye Mingqiu felt a bit guilty at the praise, but since it solved the problem, the result was acceptable.

No big deal.
