Chapter 2755 - 57: Touch Cloud Demons Sleepless (2)

Yuan Jiazheng rolled his eyes, his beard curling up extremely High: "That Shenxiao Secret Cache, you’re not even the slightest bit tempted?"

"Ai!" Yuan Mengji finally let out a sigh and sat down beside him: "How could I not be tempted, but I was completely unprepared beforehand, what room do I have to interfere? Don’t be fooled by Ancient Nan Mountain’s Knowledge and Hearing Bell showing Yu Xin so clearly—who knows where he and that guy in black are hiding right now! How am I supposed to find them? And even if I do find them, if I rush over in a hurry, what good will it do me? Forget it, better I eat the meat I can see in front of me... Family Head, when the time comes I’ll need you to lend a hand."

Yuan Jiazheng snorted once, but in the end didn’t say anything else.

This Yuan Mengji—call him stupid, he doesn’t seem that stupid; call him smart, he doesn’t seem that smart either. One really doesn’t know how to judge him properly.

So he simply downed another cup of wine——

Don’t worry about it; those who come later will have the fortune meant for them!

...

...

In the deeply hidden Shenxiao secret chamber, all waves of Divine Power Techniques were completely cut off.

Yu Xin and Xiong Sansi had a hell of a time getting in here, expending a lot of bitter effort—one could say more than half of their preparations over these years had been poured into this. So after entering, they actually felt much more at ease.

If even coming here was this difficult for them, what about the demons?

After all, no one could have imagined the Knowledge and Hearing Bell would be activated.

This pair who had been plotting over the Shenxiao Secret Cache for years of preparation of course had no idea that their every move was being watched by the entire Mo Yun City... and they were still enthusiastically pressing ahead with their grand Shenxiao Secret Cache development project.

Yu Xin was especially fired up, only he didn’t know why, he kept feeling a chill down his spine, as if someone were staring at him——which of course was impossible; in this Shenxiao secret chamber laid bare at a glance, where would there be room for another pair of eyes?

The first wall’s puzzle had been solved by him and Xiong Sansi together. Mainly Xiong Sansi, but he’d also contributed some input... though none of it was adopted.

Right now each of them was in charge of one lock, advancing side by side, cracking The Gate of the cache.

Only at the wall he was responsible for, he pondered east and west, shifted left and right, and after quite a while still made no progress. Then he looked back at Xiong Sansi’s fluid, effortless movements... and felt baffled at his own usually sharp wit.

Unable to help himself, he frowned and asked: "Brother Xiong, how come no matter how I piece this together I can’t get it right, is there some trick to it?"

Xiong Sansi stood before the silvery-white wall, casually sliding the blocks, exuding an indescribable confidence and ease: "Do you know ’Winning Insufficiency’?"

For some reason, even though he was clearly wearing a mask and hiding his figure, even though his voice was so rough and grating, he somehow gave the viewer this strange certainty——that he really ought to be a handsome man.

"I just read it a few days ago! One of the Nine Numbers of the Human Race side!" Yu Xin proudly recited: "Borrow surplus and insufficiency to seek the hidden mixed numbers."

"That has nothing to do with this." Xiong Sansi took out a piece of animal hide from his chest: "Just piece it together following the pattern on this."

Yu Xin took it and glanced over; the drawing on the hide was indeed extremely clear—he only needed to follow the diagram. What had previously been a mass of Chaos in the wall’s block pattern now, with the comparison, became incomparably clear.

So that’s how Brother Xiong can do it so easily and freely—turns out it’s all off-the-board tricks!

Yu Xin gave his big brother a long, gloomy look, his gaze full of grievance.

Xiong Sansi remained unmoved, finishing the last few moves of metal blocks as he said: "I couldn’t give you this too early, otherwise you’d get cocky and lose your head. We need to control the timing of the Shenxiao Secret Cache’s opening; even if the intel can no longer be hidden, we should still try to avoid too many demons discovering us. When the treasure vault emerges, it’s bound to send light soaring to the heavens, and who knows what phenomena might appear. I’m guessing the arrangements outside the city won’t distract them for too long... at most a quarter of an hour. We have to seize this quarter-hour advantage and take the key of the cache."

Yu Xin started operating according to the diagram while jokingly chanting: "May the Shenxiao Ancestor bless us, may the Light King Tathagata bless us, may the Devil Master Tathagata bless us, may the Ancient Yama God bless us..."

Xiong Sansi couldn’t help laughing—if you really had Ancient Nan Mountain’s Light King Tathagata and Black Lotus Temple’s Devil Master Tathagata bless you together, wouldn’t they first kill you, Yu Xin?

Listening, he suddenly froze, as if something weird had slipped in.

"What’s this Ancient Yama God?"

"Oh, some Assassin’s God, belongs to a new Cult. I saw it in some files at the Public Security Office a few days ago." Yu Xin said casually: "Called Faceless Sect, it’s pretty interesting. Their doctrine seems to be ’I don’t want this face, let them say what they will’, and day in, day out they’re either healing this person or aiding that disaster. Other Evil Gods knock on bones and suck blood, but them? They deliver grain and hand out money! Truly bizarre and strange."

Xiong Sansi had already finished the last block on the wall before him, lighting up the second lock on the Shenxiao gate, so he simply turned around to watch Yu Xin work.

Since he had nothing to do, he asked with great interest: "Healing and disaster relief are benevolent acts—how is it you call them a Cult?"

Yu Xin let out a ’ha’: "Cult or not still depends on what our officials say, doesn’t it. Are those bald donkeys at Ancient Nan Mountain all full of benevolence and compassionate Thought? Hardly!"

In the Dog Family manor, Mage Yang Yu bared his teeth in a smile.

This Yu Xin truly gives a perfect demonstration of what’s called a tongue like spear and sword. A mouthful of exquisitely vicious Skill, accurately sniping every single entity in Mo Yun City, and even he, this newly arrived Monk, couldn’t escape.

In the Shenxiao secret chamber, Xiong Sansi asked again: "You said they deliver grain and money—do they give it just for joining? Then their financial base must be thick; they’re probably not a small Sect."

Yu Xin shook his head: "Not quite, seems you have to meet certain conditions. They say ’We help emergencies, not poverty’... I don’t really get it either. If you’re interested, I can dig up more files for you later."

"No need." Xiong Sansi said: "Slow down a little, no one’s urging you—what are you rushing for?"

"Heh heh, the Yu Zhen Ancestor’s inheritance—how could I not rush?"

"...Once you get the inheritance, what do you plan to do?"

"First marry a Zhu Lanruo. Rich, simple, and good-looking—when you’re finding a wife, that’s exactly what you should look for."

...

...

The entire Mo Yun City, tonight, came to know of the Faceless Sect and the Ancient Yama God.

No matter what they believed in before, once they heard about delivering grain and money, healing and disaster relief, it was hard to stay calm.

So the question arose... Where is the Faceless Sect? Who do you approach to join?

Ever since its founding, the Faceless Sect had spread strictly by word of mouth, one-on-one recruitment. The Pope of the Faceless Sect laid down the Three No-Transmissions: no transmission to those you don’t know, no transmission to the insincere, no transmission to those without good deeds.

The Sect’s own rate of development wasn’t slow, but tracking down their foundation was not easy at all.

Yuan Laoxi, who was busy explaining doctrine to a believer, had never imagined the Faceless Sect would enter the public eye in this manner.

And it was the Yu Family Young Master of Mo Yun himself, personally advertising the Sect to the entire city’s populace.

It was foreseeable that after tonight, the Faceless Sect would inevitably see explosive expansion. The Divine Power that he, this Pope, could call upon—how vast would it be?

If not for the fact that Yuan Laoxi’s public identity still depended on the Fruit and Flower Club for his livelihood and he had no way to climb up the Yu Family’s ladder, right now he’d at least have to step out and grant Yu Xin an honorary protector title or something.

Great Yama God, was this also Your arrangement?

...

I arranged my ass!

In the Chai Family’s old courtyard, the Ancient Yama God was already on the verge of going insane.

Longing was almost hard to keep sheathed!

He’d finally managed to grasp everyone’s psychology, directing Chai Asi to stir up trouble successfully, breaking free of the predicament under Heavenly Will. He was just about to talk the three Demon Kings into backing off so he could catch his breath and think about where to run next... and you suddenly pull this on him?

What Shenxiao Secret Cache.

What ’Brother Xiong, Brother Yu’, and the Human Race’s Nine Numbers and Winning Insufficiency, he’d never even heard of them.

Yu Xin, you dog thief, I will kill you!

In fact, under these circumstances, on such a chaotic and war-torn night, it wasn’t only the Ancient God in the mirror who was anxious.

The few Demon Kings standing beneath the night sky couldn’t stay calm either.

Especially Shujia Lan.

That damned thing ringing was the Knowledge and Hearing Bell!

The Supreme Treasure Black Lotus Temple dreamt of, the mountain-guarding artifact of Ancient Nan Mountain!

They just hauled it out like this?

Which Bodhisattva or Arhat is it that’s so lacking in martial ethics?

Is it to deal with him, the Mouse Lord Buddha?
