Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 435 No Evidence, But I Believe

Seeing that Bai Yang agreed, Fang Lingji regained his composure and began to answer the believers' questions.

Bai Yang stood still, listening attentively, wanting to see what this sect was really up to.

At first, the poor Protestants asked some seemingly respectful questions, but later they lost patience and started asking for all kinds of food.

Fang Lingji was neither surprised nor impatient. As long as the other party needed it, she would continuously provide various kinds of rice and grains to satisfy the believers' hunger.

A day passed just like that, and as evening approached, everyone gradually dispersed.

The two exchanged a glance and together climbed over the city wall and headed out.

Both of them were realm lords and moved extremely fast. In an instant, they had traveled a hundred miles and stopped at the foot of a small mountain.

Fang Lingji seemed very familiar with the surroundings and invited Bai Yang to rest in a thatched hut.

Bai Yang used his mental power to sense that no one was around.

Seeing that the other party had taken out a set of tables and chairs and started pouring tea and water, he went in and sat down as well.

After a while, Fang Lingji served two steaming cups of tea.

Bai Yang noticed that her tea-brewing technique seemed quite sophisticated, so he took the cup with both hands and took a sip.

He couldn't help but praise, "Not bad."

Even though he didn't understand tea ceremony, he still found the tea to be fragrant and pleasant.

Fang Lingji raised her head and carefully examined his features with a very strange look in her eyes, without saying a word.

Bai Yang wondered to himself, "Miss Fang, do you know me?"

Fang Lingji shook his head and said:

I don't know you. I have no idea what your name is.

What brings you to the church to see me?

Bai Yang asked, "To make friends through martial arts?"

Fang Lingji glanced at Bai Yang in surprise and said:

"You've come to challenge me to a fight?"

Bai Yang laughed and said, "I guess so."

I enjoy challenging geniuses, and I've heard you're a prodigy in the laws of time.

I happen to be good at this, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Furthermore, I am also very interested in the doctrines of your Salvation Church.

I've always felt it's quite different from other sects, so it'll be good to learn more about it.

Fang Lingji's expression immediately returned to normal, and she asked:

"That's easy. May I ask how you address my friend?"

"My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Yang."

Fang Lingji nodded slightly to indicate that she had remembered, and then said:

"Our sect's doctrines are indeed extraordinary, Mr. Bai... Fellow Daoist, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

Bai Yang asked earnestly:

"May I ask, what are the demon king Zoshank and the end of the world in your religion's teachings?"

Fang Lingji said:

"A great calamity is coming. One day, this demon king will descend and completely destroy our world."

Only by praying to the god Puti can we have a glimmer of hope.

Bai Yang hurriedly asked, "Is there only a sliver of hope? Can't Puti defeat or destroy him?"

Fang Lingji slowly shook her head, which was also a major reason why her missionary work was unsuccessful.

This is because it would be tantamount to denying Puti's power, which would be considered blasphemous by most people.

"No! Even the great god Puti cannot... cannot fight against that demon king!"

So we only have a sliver of hope!

Bai Yang thought to himself, "No wonder this kind of missionary work can't possibly go well."

This doctrine was far too negative, but in his view, it actually increased its credibility.

Bai Yang's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked:

"Ms. Fang, did you come up with this yourself, or did someone tell you about it?"

Let's be frank, you yourself are the leader of the Salvation Cult, aren't you?

Fang Lingji's identity was not actually kept secret, and many powerful figures did not cause her trouble, mainly because of the City Lord's Mansion.

She knew this herself, and remained calm even after Bai Yang exposed her, slowly saying:

"This is an answer I received from God myself."

"Can't we escape? Leave the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Fang Lingji shook her head sadly:

"It won't work. Originally, after breaking through to the realm master level, all immortals were supposed to enter the divine kingdom of Puti God."

But when the Demon King attacked, none of the immortals appeared.

No one had time to escape.

Bai Yang frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any evidence for these things?"

Fang Lingji smiled sadly and said, "How could there possibly be any evidence?"

If Fellow Daoist Baiyang doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do.

Her face was pale, but she seemed used to no one believing her, so she wasn't too disappointed.

After hearing her description of the relationship between Zuoshanke and Puti, Bai Yang believed her even more.

Those in the world of mountains and seas who are unaware of the inside story probably cannot even imagine such a terrifying situation.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do to gain the help of the god Puti?"

Fang Lingji's expression changed; the other party actually believed it?!

She quickly looked at Bai Yang and saw that his eyes were clear and there was no hint of teasing or mockery in them. She was overjoyed.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, are you willing to believe me?"

Bai Yang nodded and said, "I have some of my own sources of information."

"Miss Fang, you don't seem like the type to fabricate such a lie without a reason, and you certainly don't seem like a madwoman."

Bai Yang had previously exploited the human race's misunderstanding of the AI-driven movement, so he knew about it.

If someone were to unexpectedly awaken a talent related to the laws of time at the planetary level.

There is a possibility of prophecy, especially since this simulated world of mountains and seas is destined to produce a super genius in the laws of time.

The possibility increases once Fang Lingji's talent in the laws of time is confirmed.

After saying that, Bai Yang stood up and struck a pose as if challenging someone to a duel.

He said, "Please enlighten me!"

Fang Lingji was surprised that he was so quick to attack, and felt a slight unease.

Then she immediately agreed, saying, "Okay!"

The two walked out of the thatched hut and headed down the mountain, stopping in an empty space.

Bai Yang didn't take out a sword, and Fang Lingji didn't intend to use any weapon either.

The two stood in their respective positions, without needing to explain the rules in detail.

At almost the same time, they launched an attack on the other side.

Bai Yang's hands were like knives, and he used his bare palms to perform sword techniques.

Given the physical strength of other androids, this power is definitely not inferior to that of ordinary Force weapons.

Fang Lingji was also unarmed, but he used a series of leg techniques.

Beneath her flowing skirt, she wore a pair of bright red embroidered shoes, her movements exquisitely graceful.

It seems that his upper body didn't move at all, and he only used his knees to exert force.

But he did it without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, his toes were not far from Bai Yang's temple.

"good!"

Bai Yang was overjoyed. The opponent's kick was so fast that it must have used the law of time.

However, he could hardly detect the fluctuations of the time tides. Fang Lingji's understanding of the laws was definitely deeper than that of the 17th floor of the Tongtian Bridge!

This move was truly brilliant, not to mention Bolan and Rongjun.

It's hard to say whether Luo Feng can catch this kick now.

Fang Lingji is absolutely a super genius in the laws of time!

Bai Yang immediately activated "Time-Forged Light and Sound," causing chaos in the surrounding River of Time.

Having narrowly avoided the attack at the last moment, Fang Lingji now faced his pair of fleshy palms.

Her movements were as graceful as a lotus leaf swaying in the wind, her jade-like feet moving lightly, and she narrowly dodged the attack.

Tap tap tap tap!

Both men retreated five steps, feeling that the other was an unprecedentedly formidable foe, and their fighting spirit reached its peak.

"Again!"

With a shout, the two attacked each other simultaneously, this time with all their might!
