Chapter 541: Chapter 0513: The Three Strongmen Join Forces!_1
"Hehehe..."
Suddenly, a soft, intimate voice came from the distant Holy Light, and a figure deeply imprinted in his mind appeared.
He had shimmering golden hair, a calm, peaceful temperament, and a wisdom that seemed to understand everything.
This... this was Jesus!
The God that all archbishops, bishops and even all believers of the Sanctum Church revered!
"Ho...Holy Lord, y...you... how did you appear?" Alexander the First’s mind went momentarily deaf, hastily bowing to "Jesus", stammering.
Disastrous!
At this moment, Alexander the First’s mind was in utter chaos.
Actually, the era that Alexander the First existed in was but a hundred or so years away from Jesus’s era. Back then, Alexander the First had grown up hearing the legends of the "Holy Lord".
After Alexander the First became a clergyman in the Sanctum Church, he had been subjected to continuous brainwashing by high ranking officials. Although his growing power allowed him to gradually break free from this restraint, the fact that he had been brainwashed during his youth meant that there were lingering effects.
These lingering effects sometimes proved fatal, pushing one toward death.
"Hehe, Alexander, you’ve done well these years. My church’s influence has spread across the world, and you’ve played no small part. Now, you have fulfilled your duties and my heart has sensed this, so I have come down from heaven to bring you back to the realm of God..." The figure in the light chuckled, its aura of sanctity surging once more.
It was precisely because of this pure-to-the-extreme holy light power that Alexander the First was drawn further in. Coupled with the brainwashing he had received in his youth, at this moment, Alexander had completely sunk in.
"R...really?" His heart suddenly surged with ecstasy, and Alexander the First hastily knelt down before the "Holy Lord", thanking him joyously: "Thank the Lord for his generosity, I, Alexander, will definitely not let you down--"
Just then, a small flame suddenly flashed out from the brilliant holy light, landing on Alexander the First’s shoulder at a lightning-fast speed.
"Argh..." Alexander the First let out a long scream, hastily mobilizing all his energy to resist this small flame.
However, his energy came from the Sun.
When faced with the utmost Yang and rigidity of the Sun’s True Fire, his light was incapable of withstanding the impact of the Sun’s True Fire.
Soon, the Sun’s True Fire directly infiltrated his flesh, quickly igniting countless strands of fire that scorched and burned within his body...
"Ah, Ho...Holy Lord, sa...save me..." Thinking that the Holy Lord was still by his side, Alexander the First hurriedly pleaded to the "Holy Lord" in his heart for help.
However, at this moment, when Alexander strained his eyes wide open, he realized that there was no "Holy Lord" in front of him. Except for the strange flame on his body, there was just a beautiful white butterfly, and around this butterfly were countless holy beetles.
"Bu...burning... Great... Great Light Butterfly..." It seemed as if Alexander the First knew the origins of this mysterious butterfly. His horror-struck cry gradually faded.
The Sun’s True Fire had completely incinerated his five internal organs and six hollow organs, even reaching his head and the scepter in his hand...
Just like that, the most formidable Grand Patriarch in the history of the Sanctum Church fell under the joint attack of a butterfly and the Sun’s True Fire.
Alexander the First’s energy came from the Sun, and now, his entire body’s energy was being returned to the Sun’s True Fire, enhancing the Sun’s True Fire slightly.
However, it was a pity that even though people in the Sanctum Church could store energy in their bodies, it was still not as much as what a cultivator could store. The majority of the Sun’s energy was stored in Alexander the First’s secret silver scepter. The energy that the Sun’s True Fire absorbed from this object was far stronger than what it got from Alexander the First’s body.

"Huh, why is there fog in the large array? I can’t see clearly what’s happening inside, I wonder how that fool from earlier is doing?" Outside the array, Lei Xiaoyun was also softly murmuring.
Ever since Alexander the First entered the array, the large array had been activated. Not only was it impossible to visually see what was happening inside, spiritual sense also couldn’t penetrate it.
He originally wanted to learn how to break the formation by observing how Alexander the First did it.
But clearly, his calculations were off.
"There can only be two outcomes!" unexpectedly, He Qiu took the initiative to speak up, "Either that blonde foreigner perished within the formation, or he’s trapped."
Damn!
Lei Xiaoyun glared at He Qiu resentfully, "You’re just spouting nonsense, that blondie hasn’t been in there for long, he’s probably still testing out the array."
He Qiu glanced at Lei Xiaoyun in disdain, and said lightly, "If you don’t believe me, you can go in and see for yourself..."
He felt that Alexander the First was likely in trouble. Although he couldn’t see clearly what was happening within the formation, he vaguely sensed that it was running wildly. However, now the rotation speed of the formation had slowed down. And since Alexander the First hadn’t come out, it wasn’t hard to guess his situation.
"Damn, do you think I’m as stupid as the guy earlier?" Lei Xiaoyun, having been fooled once, wasn’t about to be deceived again. True to the adage, "once bitten, twice shy", this Great Formation was set up by people from the Cult of Plague God, which made him wary.
He Qiu gave a slight smile, "Haha, turns out you, Lei Xiaoyun, are quite a mouse. You were just mocking others..."
"You...You want to die, huh? Fine, I didn’t get to fight enough with you earlier—" Lei Xiaoyun turned furious and was readying to take a swing at He Qiu.
Mu Yue Wu Shuang frowned, saying coldly: "Stop it. Let’s break through this formation together, okay? I believe that the three of us can do it."
"That..."
Lei Xiaoyun seemed interested now, and looked at He Qiu.
He Qiu remained calm and asked after a pause, "So, how do we work together, and how do we share the treasures? There are only two Dayu Cauldrons in this formation!"
Mu Yue Wu Shuang felt a bit annoyed but didn’t show it. She tried to persuade, "Can’t we break the formation first and then discuss it?"
To be honest, she wanted both of the Dayu Cauldrons, but of course, she couldn’t say that aloud.
Lei Xiaoyun and He Qiu also wanted them for themselves.
However, while Mu Yue Wu Shuang held back and tried to recruit He Qiu first, Lei Xiaoyun didn’t, and said, "Fairy Mu Yue, this guy is just from Earth. If he doesn’t want to cooperate, let’s go it alone. Two Cauldrons, one for each, it’s fair. Why involve him? Besides, there is another golden-haired guy in the array whose strength is quite good..."
He Qiu, quite unbothered, spread his hands and said, "If that’s the case, go on, I’ll just stand by and watch. Hehe, who knows? I might be the one collecting the corpse of some fool later..."
What?
Lei Xiaoyun felt like exploding due to anger. He raised his fists like hammers and roared at He Qiu, "Old fool, do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"
"Hehe, you definitely don’t have the ability!" He Qiu retorted, nonchalantly.
"Seek death—"
Lei Xiaoyun roared, then threw a punch at He Qiu.
"Enough!" Mu Yue Wu Shuang suddenly yelled and caught Lei Xiaoyun’s punch mid-air, "Stop it! Not only do we have Two Dayu Cauldrons in this formation, there’s also a 6th Grade Golden Lotus, the one that appeared in the North Pacific before. Everyone should know that a 6th Grade Golden Lotus is an immortal artifact that is even higher grade than a Dayu Cauldron. After all, the Dayu Cauldron was simply made by Emperor Dayu, while the 6th Grade Golden Lotus grew in a Merit Pool in the West. Therefore, if the three of us break the formation and restrain Lv Zhong, each of us can have an immortal artifact. So, are you in?"
Two Dayu Cauldrons and a 6th Grade Golden Lotus?
Not only was He Qiu surprised, but Lei Xiaoyun was also drooling.
"Are you talking about the exotic treasure that appeared in the North Pacific two months ago?" Lei Xiaoyun quickly asked.
He had to leave Earth for a while when that happened. However, when he returned some time ago, his agent on Earth had mentioned this. At that time, he regretted missing it. If he were there, he could have grabbed the shiny Immortal Treasure.
Lei Xiaoyun couldn’t believe that the Immortal Treasure was now in the hands of Lv Zhong from the Cult of Plague God. His eyes gleamed.
He Qiu too was informed of the situation by his disciples after coming out of isolation.
Given that He Qiu knew Lv Zhong had killed Jade Void’s Yun Tianfan and Elder Yu Qingzhi, this made him furious. He saw Lv Zhong as openly slapping the face of Yuxu Palace. Did he think Yuxu Palace was unmanned?
Now, hearing what Mu Yue Wu Shuang had said, He Qiu was interested.
"Okay! Then let’s get into the formation!" He Qiu thought for a while and agreed.
"I have no problem either!" Where Lei Xiaoyun would find the strength to fight with He Qiu now, he didn’t know. All he wanted now was to rush into the formation and grab the Dayu Cauldrons and the 6th Grade Golden Lotus first. He didn’t care about the agreement at all.
"Great!" Mu Yue Wu Shuang nodded with satisfaction, "So, it’s settled then. When we’re inside the formation, we stick together. We are not to leave each other until we’ve broken the formation and overpowered Lv Zhong..."
"No problem!" Lei Xiaoyun had a big smile on his face, while He Qiu merely nodded casually.
Once they’d settled, Mu Yue Wu Shuang looked at He Qiu with a smile, "The formation techniques of Yuxu Palace are top-notch in the Cultivation World, so we’ll be relying on you to break the formation."
"I know. And I want to see if these Cult of Plague God formations are really as great as they say. Humph, I’ve never even heard of the Cult of Plague God before. Now, I want to see how much they have up their sleeves..." With a cold snort, He Qiu was the first to stride into the formation. (To be continued. If you like this work, support is appreciated!
