"Wait!!!!!!"
...
Yu Zhou gently leaped up and then floated in mid-air, slowly raising his right arm and closing his eyes.
Boom——
The weather suddenly changed, the once clear sky darkened abruptly, filled with dense clouds, the wind rising and clouds swirling.
Violent yet majestic thunder began incessantly roaming through the clouds.
On the ground.
Shanli glanced at Yu Zhou in the sky and closed her eyes as well.
Amidst the thunder’s roar.
The temperature at Chuituo Beach began to drop sharply.
The sea breeze became bone-chilling.
The air seemed about to freeze into frost.
At the same time.
On the sea surface... the invading force led by two Holy Coffin Knights was already nearing the coastline.
In an instant, the sky changed dramatically.
The temperature plummeted.
Both Holy Coffin Knights noticed.
The two simultaneously stopped.
Holy Coffin Knight—Witnesser, Karen Otting looked up at the heavy clouds overhead and said, "...Yu Zhou and Shanli?"
"Probably."
The other Holy Coffin Knight—Wolfhound, Schneider nodded and then laughed, "They’ve probably been waiting for us for a while."
"..."
Karen Otting squinted his eyes, gazing at the coastline, "Apart from the two... there seems to be quite a few people on the shore?"
"Not important."
Schneider shook his head, then smirked, "We’re not like that idiot Igri Saba. The Celestial Strategy Mansion’s advanced combat power is limited. To bring a public prosecution against that fool, Igri Saba, they can’t spare much advanced combat power for this side.
They’re just here to make up the numbers... Their main objective is probably to stall us, since they started releasing their Authority Ability before even seeing us.
Let those people be dealt with by the Mujin New Church and Ise Jingu folks."
"True."
Karen Otting thought for a moment, looked back at the recruits drawn from Mujin New Church and Ise Jingu, and agreed, "Who do you want?"
"That Shanli, perhaps, although she hasn’t become Celestial Strategy, I’ve heard her Authority Ability Source Canon is also God?"
Schneider revealed a cruel expression, "I’m very curious about the true power of these Pseudo-Gods."
Karen Otting smiled, "Yu Zhou’s Authority Ability Source Canon is also God."
Schneider shook his head, "But I’m more interested in women."
"Then let’s make a bet, how long can they stall?"
"Thirty minutes."
"Give them some face, let’s say an hour."
"Alright, the stakes are an audience opportunity."
"Deal."
The two completely ignored the oppressive clouds overhead and the biting cold wind, betting as if they were alone.
Chatting and laughing.
Not like invaders, but more like they were here for a spring outing.
Because they knew better than anyone how difficult the situation was for the Celestial Strategy Mansion after Xia Yue’s demise.
"Let’s get started then."
Schneider stretched his body, once again revealing a cruel expression, "Let them see! What it means to be a genuine Holy Coffin Knight! What it means to be unstoppable!"
Karen Otting was about to respond.
"...Or, do you want to bet with me too!?"
A buzzing voice suddenly rang out.
Then, a bearded man swiftly flew in from afar, appearing in front of the two in an instant.
[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, Xiang Zai!]
Karen Otting and Schneider saw the newcomer, their expressions changed slightly, just about to speak.
"I’ll bet with you, thirty minutes!"
But before they could speak, on the left, another figure suddenly appeared and quickly approached.
[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, He Fu!]
"I’m betting an hour, giving them some face!"
Following that.
On Karen Otting’s right, a voice echoed.
[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, Zhu Jun!]
"What’s the bet?"
"Tonight’s dinner?"
[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, Sima Zhi!]
[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, Xu Zi!]
"No."
As five Celestial Strategies surrounded Karen Otting and Schneider’s group from all directions.
The last voice rang out.
This time, it was a woman’s voice.
"The bet is... who takes off their heads."
[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, Ji Xin.]
When noticing the continuous appearance of Celestial Strategies from the Celestial Strategy Mansion... and even Ji Xin herself appearing in front.
Karen Otting and Schneider’s expressions grew extremely unsightly.
Including Yu Zhou and Shanli, who hadn’t appeared but were confirmed to be here.
A total of eight advanced combat power from the Celestial Strategy Mansion!
And these people were not Tang Language.
If it were just Shanli and Yu Zhou, one-on-one, the two wouldn’t flinch.
But one-on-two, or even one-on-three, one-on-four... that’s a different story.
Just... why?
Why are there so many Celestial Strategies here?
"Has your Celestial Strategy Mansion gone mad?"
Karen Otting looked at Ji Xin, who had rarely left her wheelchair and was floating nearby with a face full of indifference, and said with an unsightly expression, "After filing the public prosecution... completely ignoring it!? Do you know what this means? Have you even abandoned the Imperial Capital!?"
"Indeed, mad!"
Schneider breathed heavily, his expression equally unsightly, "Exchanging two Holy Coffin Knights for one!? You’ll regret it! Your Imperial Capital will be turned to ruins! Your Celestial Strategy Mansion will become the biggest joke, you’ll..."
"Are you done?"
Ji Xin directly interrupted him, her face full of indifference.
At the same time.
Boom——
The rumbling thunder sounded.
Streaks of lightning emerged, running across the clouds like living creatures, extending forward, then suddenly raining down destructive branches onto the earth.
Countless thunders descended from the sky, covering the sun and moon, instantly enveloping the two Holy Coffin Knights.
...
Imperial Capital.
Taishi Village.
Chen Lu Si walked out of the courthouse.
And just as he stepped out, he saw several white-haired old men.
A total of seven.
They stood quietly at the spot where Xiang Yi had just parked, with their eyelids drooping, trembling as if they would topple at the slightest breeze.
