Storm of Gods

Chapter 222 The Pursuit from the Abyss

That night, Li Xin drank a lot and trained Simmons to be able to fight Raymond Didia to a draw. Unknowingly, he had already conquered everyone in the Holy Ze Church Academy. There was no shortage of strong people in Montaleta. Being strong yourself is not true strength. Making others strong is true strength. Whether it was Locke, who could endure, or Lancer, who could not withstand it, they all admired Li Xin from the bottom of their hearts. When the duel was set, they all thought it was over. Simmons was finished. As Simmons's people, they were also finished. But now, Raymond is finished. This was something they never dared to think about before.
Li Xin had a good tolerance for alcohol, but it was never the alcohol that made him drunk. Celia was definitely the mastermind behind the trouble. Her sexy dance and the enthusiasm of the crowd made people forget that they were in a foreign land. In the end, it was Baraklee and Locke who carried Li Xin back to the Carp Dragon Inn.

Men are generally a bit rough around the edges, so Li Xin didn't mind and went straight to sleep, his dreams free of worries.

But there are ghosts...

Just as Li Xin was sleeping comfortably, the dice began to spin, releasing an alarm signal. He felt something was invading him. He didn't know if it was because of his special condition, but he was always exceptionally "awake" when he had dreams. In order to distinguish them, Li Xin even thought of various methods to locate his state.

In a moment of near-daze, Li Xin felt as if he were being watched by something, like a pair of eyes in a void. This feeling grew clearer as the eyes drew closer, and he faintly heard a voice in his ear. The voice was distant, but Li Xin was instantly alert. He had come to Dao Abyss, and although the immortals in the secret fortress were terrifying in appearance and disregarded life and death, they did not harbor any killing intent. They were like machines carrying out their tasks, their only concern being to insert the right divine relic into the right human body. Until he encountered that thing under the mist, and Li Xin clearly felt a strong sense of malice.

"finally found you……"

The distant voice gradually became clearer; was the other party trying to invade his dream?

Li Xin clasped his hands together, holding the Immovable King Seal, and everything became clear. The dream itself was like an invisible defensive shield, and covering the shield were some moving, transparent worm-like things. Moreover, the number of these things was constantly increasing. People with trypophobia would explode on the spot. These worm-like things were tearing and biting, and the mist was released from their mouths.

Li Xin dared not be careless. He continued the hand seals, then turned to the inner binding seal, and shouted, "Formation!"

With the use of the Inner Binding Seal, the worms immediately lost their target and began to bite blindly. At the same time, the worms began to boil, as if something was burning them, and they were swept away piece by piece with a sizzling sound. They looked like a raging storm and were wiped out in an instant.

"You...can't escape..."

A voice filled with resentment and anger rang out once again. Li Xin frowned. The thing burning the worms was not his own power; it possessed an unparalleled strength.

Li Xin dared not let his guard down. After waiting for a while, he found that there was no more danger and the dice had returned to calm. Only then did he feel relieved and slowly returned to sleep. It wasn't that he was careless, but that scaring himself was the most terrifying thing. The only way to deal with hidden forces was to deal with them as they came and to eat and sleep as usual.

Chirp chirp chirp... Cluck cluck cluck~~~
On the bed, Li Xin was wearing only a pair of shorts, his body twisted and turned, clearly not sleeping well. The sun was shining brightly outside, and he had slept until noon. The birdsong was like an unreliable alarm clock. Li Xin shook his head, his head throbbing. He hadn't felt this kind of pain in a long time since he had received the replenishment from the sacred land.

I stood up, clutching my head, poured myself a glass of water, gulped it down, patted my head, opened the window, and the blazing sunlight shone on me, dispelling the chill and gradually warming me up. My headache also subsided a little.

That damn thing beneath the sacred ground has tracked me down. Damn it. I wonder how Simmons is. If he's alright, then the Grand Bishop must not have used enough force on me. How could he be tracked down like that? I need to find a church to be baptized. May the Earth Mother or the Moon Goddess protect me.

What lies beneath the fog, and what is inside?
Is the fog meant to act as a barrier?
Is it possible that the mist is protecting humanity? The power of the monsters inside is beyond imagination, definitely not on the same level, and the power level of their dice under the mist is also different from what we have now.

Divine relics can absorb a certain power in the Sacred Land, so that the relics will not add a burden to the body when used. Is this because of killing those Lickers, or is it just because of the Sacred Land itself?
Li Xin now leans towards the latter. The connection between the divine relics and the sacred land is clearly closer, and the divine relics thrive even more under the mist, meaning that the divine relics are more closely connected to the area under the mist.

Li Xin's mind was a bit muddled. He could make these judgments because he came from another world, his thinking unconstrained. However, even his analysis seemed utterly useless, solving nothing. The real problem was that he was definitely carrying some kind of negative energy, and he needed to find a way to remove it. He didn't want to be targeted by that kind of thing; his connections weren't enough to get the Grand Bishop's help. It seemed he'd have to rely on Young Master Simmons. Having a child with a young master was a treasure. These things weren't entirely useless, though. He should be able to exchange something with Mr. Cancer, at least a little provocation, and he could get something useful out of him. Thinking this, Li Xin felt it wasn't a complete waste of time.

咕噜 咕噜
Li Xin rubbed his stomach. Damn, he was starving. He changed his clothes and had breakfast and lunch at the same time. When he opened the door, Li Xin sensed that something was wrong. Daenerys's big face was right in front of him, and she looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Mother Daenerys, you're scaring me half to death! What are you doing standing at my door like that?"

"My dear young master, you're finally awake! My legs are aching from standing all this time!" Daenerys was about to yell, but then she changed her tone.

Li Xin instantly got goosebumps. "Mother Dragon, let's talk this out. What are you doing? Is Simmons here?"

At this moment, a hint of shyness appeared on Daenerys's face. "It's not Master Simmons, it's an extremely noble, the most noble person waiting for you down below. Master, although I knew you must have an extraordinary background, I never expected you to be so extraordinary."

Daenerys Targaryen continued, speaking in a high-pitched voice.

Li Xin couldn't take it anymore. "Dragon Mom, if you keep this up, I'm moving out! Who's coming here? What's going on?!"

This is practically a nuclear weapon, on par with a nightmare you just had.

"Oh my god, it's our most handsome, most noble, and greatest Prince Akris of Montcarette! Waaaa, so handsome, so incredibly handsome! I've never seen anyone so handsome before, waaaaaah..." Daenerys was so excited she was almost crying. Although she didn't clench her legs, she didn't yell and scream like before. It was clear that she had put in a lot of effort to suppress herself. Her thighs were trembling, and instead of clenching her upper legs, she started clenching her lower legs.

"Mother Daenerys, don't overthink it. His Highness just came to ask me some questions about Simmons."

"Oh, oh, my Mother Goddess, oh, oh, it really is His Highness! I knew it! The moment I first saw him, his smile, as radiant as the sun god's, was so unique. His noble eyes, his face as handsome as Cupid's... oh, I've fallen in love..."

In the morning, someone came looking for Li Xin. It was a joke; could just anyone come to see Young Master Xin? Daenerys assumed it was because of the grudges at Mount Utopia, so she ignored them. There had been a few people trying to find out about him recently, but she was careful to dispel any rumors, otherwise, what if the little lucky god ran away? As a result, the other party took out a token and called Daenerys out. The carriage was parked outside, with the Golden Tree symbol on it. Then she saw the handsome young man and was told not to wake Li Xin, and to tell him when he woke up.

Daenerys didn't pay much attention at first, after all, young master Simmons was the most important person in her heart. But after returning, she felt more and more that something was wrong. The symbol of the Golden Tree could only be used by people of royal blood. In Heldan, there were royals, princes, dukes and marquises with Aura blood... but such a dashing and approachable person seemed to be only His Highness Prince Akris.

Li Xin was speechless. This guy was trying to trick him. "Dragon Mother, I was just kidding. Where is he?"

Daenerys Targaryen looked at Li Xin, who resembled a mascot, with a smile. "Outside, on the carriage, there's a sign for the Golden Tree. Go quickly."

Li Xin, wearing slippers, pattered downstairs, still feeling Daenerys's ardent gaze behind him. It seemed that Simmons was no longer appealing to him.
