Chapter 1539 - 579: Turning Truth Upside Down
Shi Shengtian displayed his divine might, and no one in the field could match him.
With one of the Eight Great Heavenly Kings of Gui Xu Island dead and another injured, the remaining ones were all struck down, failing to stand as a force.
Qi Dingtian scanned the scene, but hurriedly spoke:
"Not good, Lei Zhenming has fled!"
"He won’t get away!"
Shi Shengtian snorted coldly: "Watch me capture him."
After speaking, he tapped his foot and had already dashed out.
Qi Dingtian originally wanted to say, "Then I’ll trouble the Martial Elder," but before the words could leave his mouth, he suddenly realized:
"Hey, hey...don’t go!!"
However, how incredible is the Qinggong of the Nanhai Martial Elder?
By the time Qi Dingtian finished shouting, the man was already nowhere to be found.
In a moment, the old man was so enraged he stomped his feet repeatedly:
"How unreasonable, no one listens to the old man.
"If you lose him, see if I don’t go looking for you..."
Before finishing the sentence, he saw a silhouette suddenly chasing after Shi Shengtian.
It was a large monk from Jingang Temple.
Qi Dingtian was instantly delighted, as he needed to tidy up this messy scene and couldn’t walk away for the moment.
Sure enough, the great masters of Jingang Temple are benevolent and righteous.
Turning back, he saw Master Kong Xing and others chanting the Rebirth Scripture.
Blinking: "May I ask which Master chased out?"
Master Kong Xing looked up at him, with a slight smile:
"Master Qi can be at ease, the one who chased out is my brother Kong Yan."
"Oh?"
Qi Dingtian was taken aback: "I don’t know which one?"
"It was the one who just now did not chant the Rebirth Scripture, because Brother Kong Yan’s practice is silent meditation, and he has not opened his mouth for over thirty years."
"..."
Qi Dingtian felt something was odd, but couldn’t pinpoint it at the moment, so he just nodded, glanced at the people on the ground either wailing or already dead, and shook his head lightly:
"In terms of wisdom and intellect, it has to be Xiao Mo.
"Lei Zhenming thought he was hiding flawlessly, yet unknowingly was seen clearly all along.
"However, the ones who left were far more than just these few.
"Who are the remaining ones?"
Muttering to this point, he looked toward Ying Wuzong and smiled slightly:
"Ying Tianwang, could you perhaps enlighten the old man?"
Ying Wuzong closed his eyes, pretending to be dead.
...
...
Within the corridor of Martial God Temple, Lei Zhenming rushed urgently.
Just now, he wanted to ambush Qi Dingtian and others, but upon seeing the absence of Xuanzhen at the secret room’s entrance, he sensed something was amiss.
Instinctively, he fell to the rear.
When Qi Dingtian, Shi Shengtian, and others descended from the sky, launching a killing spree.
Without a second thought, he sprinted away!
He knew clearly Shi Shengtian, the Nanhai Martial Elder, was not renowned without reason.
The monks of Jingang Temple each cultivated the Great Brahma Golden Physique.
Their assault may not be perfect, but none were easy to deal with.
With the advantage lost, attempting to take down this group was immensely difficult.
Luckily, the green hills remain, no fear of having no wood to burn, leaving first was wise.
He was running wildly, but suddenly furrowed his brow, stopping abruptly, and looked around:
"No, did I just come to this place?"
Where he was, the right side was a pitch-black wall, moving forward, the left wall had an opening like a portal.
On either side of the portal was a small lamp, flickering faintly.
With a thought, he suddenly extinguished the lamp on the left with a flick, then spun the treasure sword in his hand with a ker-runch, leaving a mark on the right-side wall of the portal.
After marking, he continued forward.
But after a moment of running, he again arrived at a familiar place.
The right side was a pitch-black wall, moving forward.
The left wall had an opening like a portal, with a lamp burning on each side.
Seeing this, Lei Zhenming couldn’t help but sneer:
"Trying to fool me with cheap tricks?"
He was about to move forward but suddenly noticed that on the right wall beside the portal, there was indeed a clear sword mark.
At the sight, Lei Zhenming’s scalp tingled.
"Am I really going in circles here? But every step I’ve taken, I’ve followed the previous path clearly. I’m not like Shi Shengtian and his grandfather, totally unaware of being directionless.
"How is it that I arrived at this place?"
Frowning, he was inclined to explore further, see if he was still circling.
But worried Shi Shengtian and Qi Dingtian might catch up soon.
He gritted his teeth:
"I’ll check it out first..."
Immediately, he turned the Blade Light and, carrying it on his back, stepped toward the portal.
Setting foot inside, he was taken aback.
In front of him was another wall.
Yet, there were paths on both sides.
Which one should he choose?
With a slight thought, he made up his mind:
"Left is honored, when encountering a path, choose left, regardless of the kind of path, surely able to go out."
To prevent mistakes further along, he not only chose the left path but also stuck to the left wall, striving to keep this direction without fail.
He moved forward briskly, seeking to avoid being caught.
Little did he know, Shi Shengtian, who originally chased him, was now facing the same predicament.
He stood at a fork, looked left, then right, feeling either side seemed like it had Lei Zhenming.
Couldn’t help but furrow his brow:
"What kind of trick is being played in this Martial God Temple. It appears grand and expansive, yet the paths within are so intricate.
"How did I navigate it the last time I came here?"
