Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 465 The Association Calls for Action, All Parties Gather

Now, the invasion of the four otherworldly forces has been successfully completed.

The good news is that these four otherworldly forces are also competing and interacting with each other.

The bad news is that the new Abyss of the Flesh and Blood Demons is clearly more powerful and is constantly assimilating and integrating the power of the other three other worlds.

Meanwhile, the power of the flesh and blood demon god seemed to be constantly being perfected and transformed in this process.

At first, there were only various deformed arms and fleshy tentacles, as well as some demonic fleshy monsters. The fleshy demon god himself could only appear in the human world by residing in the bodies of the two Radiant Guardians.

However, now, three kinds of other-dimensional monsters controlled by flesh and blood have begun to appear, as well as many scroll puppets that have perished in the war.

Perhaps this is the power and strangeness of the demon god?

Currently, it seems that the "assimilation" power of the Flesh and Blood Demon God is somewhat similar to the [Divine Shaping] power of the current true god.

"I wonder how Mayor Chen Shilong is doing?"

Wu Xian sighed softly, his heart heavy with worry.

At this moment, Yaoyang City has completely become a thing of the past and no longer exists.

It's just unclear where the property rights behind Yaoyang City went, or how Chen Shilong protected and controlled them.

It's certain that the Flesh and Blood Demon God hasn't succeeded yet.

Otherwise, the moment Yaoyang City collapsed, his Evil Realm Dojo could immediately step in and reshape this world.

Ultimately, we still need to break into the new abyss as soon as possible and find Chen Shilong.

"Ok?"

On his way back to the club, Wu Xian suddenly realized something.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were other evil god scroll painters on the chaotic battlefield of Yaoyang City.

It seems that with the collapse of Yaoyang City, those evil god scroll painters from the surrounding area have also poured in.

Compared to the threat of flesh-and-blood demon gods, these evil god scroll painters are no longer so important.

"Perhaps we can get some information out of them?"

Wu Xian's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately performed an aerial spin, rapidly diving down to strike a nearby evil god scroll painter.

Strictly speaking, it should be called a servant of an evil god, because the evil scroll of that evil god scroll painter has been controlled and assimilated by the flesh and blood demon god.

It was supposed to be an eerie scroll depicting the ocean, but the overall design resembles a bizarre tentacle monster.

But at this moment, it has been "transformed" into the shape of a flesh and blood demon god.

The skin, flesh, eyes, and other features are gone; it looks like a lump of rotten flesh with tentacles coiled together.

Compared to those flesh-and-blood demons, this scroll of evil gods clearly possessed the power of other evil gods, its body shrouded in an eerie, dark aura, radiating a fear that struck straight to the soul.

"He does resemble the evil god's servant we first encountered," Wu Xian thought to himself with surprise. "Could that guy back then have been this person's servant?"

As he pondered, the Mechanical Dao Ancestor appeared beside him, and the Mechanical Universe Array immediately sealed off the scene.

The evil god's servants, who were wreaking havoc and seizing territory below, were completely dumbfounded. "Who is it?"

"your dad!"

Wu Xian, riding a flying sword, slowly floated down in front of the evil god's servant.

"..."

The servant of the evil god looked at the mechanical Dao Ancestor beside Wu Xian with a slightly stiff expression.

They tried to escape in secret, but found that the surrounding world and space were completely sealed off by that mysterious mechanical array.

"Damn it," the evil god's servant complained, seemingly confused, "Yaoyang City is gone, what are you still doing guarding this wretched place? Do you want to become nourishment for the flesh and blood demon god?"

Wu Xian remained silent. "Have you all been working for that Flesh and Blood Demon God all along?"

"Otherwise what?" the servant of the evil god replied calmly, without the slightest panic. From the moment he offered his soul and power to the evil god, he had already become an immortal being.

"What is the relationship between Chen Shilong and that evil god?" Wu Xian continued to question.

“We don’t know about that,” the servant of the evil god grinned wickedly, “but we were willing to cooperate with the evil god back then because of his aura, and we lay in wait around Yaoyang City, all for this moment today.”

Wu Xian remained expressionless, but a realization gradually dawned on him.

Chen Shilong did indeed have connections with the Flesh and Blood Demon God, after all, the Flesh and Blood Demon God was suspected to be the first mayor of Yaoyang City.

Those evil god scroll painters were actually after the evil god.

"It's laughable, really. Your mayor sold Yaoyang City to the Evil God a long time ago, so what are you still resisting for?" the Evil God's servant mocked. "From now on, this place will become the holy land for all the Evil God Scroll Painters in the world. If you don't want to die, you'd better run away as soon as possible, lest..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was enveloped by a powerful plague force, which began to erode and destroy his evil scroll.

Looking again at the humanoid scroll that appeared beside Wu Xian, the evil god's servant felt his scalp tingle.

That powerful divine aura instilled in him a fear that originated from the depths of his soul.

"This scroll..." The evil god's servant was shocked. "You...you...you are someone who has been inspired by a true god from elsewhere?"

"Where is Chen Shilong?" Wu Xian asked indifferently.

"In that case, let's stay and become part of the evil god, hahaha."

The evil god's servant suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, displaying a fearless attitude towards life and death.

Immediately afterwards, the fleshy tentacle monster beneath their feet exploded with a rich aura of flesh and blood, and countless tentacles danced like strands of hair.

At the same time, giant fleshy tentacles "burst out of the ground" on the surrounding fleshy land, and the power of the evil god's servants began to rise steadily.

As mentioned before, the larger the flesh and blood of a flesh-and-blood monster, the stronger it is.

The scroll depicting the evil god seemed to be merging with the flesh and blood beneath its feet, drawing upon the power of the earth beneath its feet.

"People like you are the most wanted prey of the Evil God!" the servant of the Evil God laughed wildly. "Behave yourself and become a part of the Evil God!"

Seeing that he couldn't get any substantial information out of him, Wu Xian stopped wasting words and went straight to the kill.

Just kidding, I chased away your evil god before, and you little lackey are still pretending.

With the Twenty-Eight Constellations divine diagram above their heads activated, the power of the ancient starry sky, combined with the mechanical Qiankun Array, suppressed the attack.

Then, the God of Wealth beside him threw out the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, causing dizziness and obscuring the other party's senses.

boom!
From the surging tribulation clouds above, tribulation lightning struck down.

He immediately shattered the eerie scroll.

"what?"

The evil god's servant seemed to be questioning his existence, clearly stunned by Wu Xian's strength.

The problem is that he can't escape now and is forced to fight back.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me Chen Shilong's exact location, and I'll give you a quick death!" Wu Xian said coldly.

“I admit, you’re indeed very powerful, and I’m no match for you,” the servant of the evil god said confidently. “But you don’t think you can kill me, do you?”

Seeing that the other party was still smug and stubborn, Wu Xian directly unleashed the [Ancient Ferocious Beast - Taotie].

The terrifying beast emerged with its mouth wide open, already in a feeding frenzy. It gulped down the entire meal in one go, smacked its lips, and seemed to find it tasteless. It hadn't even tasted anything before it was completely digested.

Just as Wu Xian was about to leave, he saw a fleshy tumor rise up on the fleshy ground below. The evil god's servants that had just been swallowed by the Taotie reappeared, and even his evil god scroll was re-condensed.

“I told you, you can’t kill me,” the evil god’s servant laughed triumphantly. “You know nothing of the power of the great evil god.”

"..."

Wu Xian's lips twitched, and he remained silent.

Clearly, these evil god's servants have become one with the flesh and blood demon god, and as long as the flesh and blood demon god is alive, these people cannot die.

"You can have fun all you want."

Wu Xian ignored the smug evil god's servant and left on his sword.

Before leaving, he used the power of the Mechanical Dao Ancestor to set up a small-scale barrier between heaven and earth, and put the plague power and Bifang Divine Fire into it, then closed it up and simmered it over a low flame.

Seeing Wu Xian leave helplessly, the evil god's servant couldn't help but feel smug.

Unfortunately, they were soon tormented by the plague and flames, suffering excruciating pain.

He could only watch helplessly as his body and the scroll of the evil god turned into rotten flesh and thick liquid, and were burned from the inside out by that eerie flame.

……

On his way back to the club, Wu Xian was blocked by a large number of flesh-and-blood monsters.

To him, these fleshy monsters posed no threat; the Taotie charged ahead, crunching them down one by one.

Incidentally, it also relieved a lot of pressure on some resistance forces in Yaoyang City along the way.

"Hmm? That's... a strange beast, isn't it?"

My gaze inadvertently fell upon a group of strange beasts fighting against flesh-and-blood monsters. At first, I thought it was the Beast-type scroll of the Legendary Beast Gym, and that reinforcements from the Legendary Beast Gym had arrived.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that those strange beasts were not scrolls at all, but rather otherworldly creatures of pure beast blood.

"The great demons from the Beast Realm have also come?" Wu Xian was both surprised and suspicious.

It's understandable that creatures from the Beast Realm are interested in the flesh and blood power here, but the key question is, where did they come from?
After all, there is no dimensional rift in the Beast Realm in Yaoyang City.

Surely they couldn't have come from the Ghost Realm, the Mechanical Wasteland, or the Insect World, by taking a detour?
I thought it was outrageous enough that creatures from the Beast Realm came to join the fun, but I never expected there would be something even more outrageous.

Boom boom boom...

From the distant horizon, an army of human spirit tamers appeared out of nowhere and joined the chaotic battle in Yaoyang City.

Each powerful, high-level scroll shimmered with light and displayed divine might.

But that's not the point. The point is that the army is also surrounding a moving mountain, like a moving floating island, and more and more spirit masters are rushing out from that "floating island" to join the battle.

If I remember correctly, the Peak Gym delegation entered the Mech Gym Invitational Tournament in a "mobile floating island" like this.

The landscape of the floating islands is somewhat similar to Summoner's Rift.

Just as they were still confused, a voice, like a broadcast, came from the moving sky island: "Citizens of Sunrise City, don't panic! The Peak Gym army has arrived! We haven't forgotten you, and we haven't abandoned you!"

Upon hearing that "broadcast," Wu Xian's expression turned strange.

When did the Peak Dojo start paying so much attention to Yaoyang City?
At least according to what Shiraishi Qi said before, Dengfeng Dojo didn't take Yaoyang City seriously at all.

They attach more importance to him than to Yaoyang City.

Surely they couldn't have come specifically to help him, could they?
The key is that Yaoyang City has collapsed, and this area has essentially become a dimensional control zone that has been eroded by dimensional forces.

Amidst his confusion, a figure flew out from the army of the Peak Dojo, controlling two golden scrolls to cut through everything in its path and approach him.

Who else could it be but Shiraishi Sai?

"Brother Wu, we've come to your aid!" Bai Shiqi asked with a hint of divine intervention, "What's the current situation? How do you need our cooperation, or are you leaving it to us to decide and act on our own?"

Faced with Bai Shiqi's sincere gaze, Wu Xian was actually a little moved.

"Thank you very much, Brother Bai, and your esteemed dojo for your support," Wu Xian said, expressing his gratitude. "But... what brings you here?"

“Such a big commotion has naturally been noticed by all parties,” Bai Shiqi explained with a light laugh. “Moreover, the association has issued a level one alert and a level one combat readiness order, and all parties are currently sending troops on their way.”

They will all arrive successively, responding to the association's call to jointly combat the calamity posed by the evil god!

"I see."

Wu Xian suddenly realized that it was the association headquarters that had put in the effort.

However, the association does not have the ability to mobilize various guilds, let alone provide such a large-scale support, with the "Summoner's Rift aircraft carrier" even arriving.

Although Bai Shiqi's words sounded grand, Wu Xian knew perfectly well that Dengfeng Dojo definitely had other purposes.

"Is it really necessary to make such a fuss just to respond to the association's call?" Wu Xian's expression was strange. "Be honest and tell us your real reasons."

Bai Shiqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said righteously, "Brother Wu's words are rather disheartening."

"..."

“Well,” Shiraishi Qi smiled awkwardly, “It’s mainly because the association and the Mechanical Dojo worked together that an unprecedented wave of public opinion was triggered. People all over the world are watching, and now the world’s attention is focused on this human crisis.”

Wu Xian understood that among the major powers of the world, in the face of this major crisis concerning the fate of humanity, anyone who did not take action would be condemned and their future reputation would plummet.

However, whoever achieves the greatest merit in this crisis will naturally gain a great deal of prestige and reputation.

Or to put it another way, dealing with this level of human crisis is the mission and responsibility of all the major dojos.

"Anything else?" Wu Xian continued to press.

“This…” Bai Shiqi pondered, “There is also my deep affection for Yaoyang City, after all, I am practically a Yaoyang City resident.”

Wu Xian chuckled inwardly, thinking that Bai Shiqi's words were just for fun.

He has absolutely no feelings for Yaoyang City; he should have a lingering resentment towards it.

If there were real feelings involved, the attitude wouldn't have been the same when the art studio incident happened.

I provided him with some information entirely out of consideration for our friendship.

……

On a necromancer warship in the Ghost Realm, where yin energy permeates the air and countless undead souls clear the way.

The first batch of reinforcements from the Necromancer's Guild are heading towards Yaoyang City, under the full coverage of various war correspondents.

When interviewed by various war correspondents, Zhao Qinghe and several high-ranking members of the Undead Dojo, who were leading the team, spoke eloquently and passionately, and the people of Yaoyang City expressed their deep concern and empathy.

But beyond the end of the interview, there was clearly another face.

Especially Zhao Qinghe and the members of the Zhao family.

The other necromancers were just there to make a show of it, but the Zhao family really didn't want to come.

"Qinghe, we're almost at Yaoyang City. What are your plans?" Several elders from collateral branches asked with concern.

"Support? Support my ass!" Zhao Qinghe grumbled through gritted teeth, "I'm already being very righteous by not causing them any trouble in secret!"
