Chapter 497 – Under Control

　　”Where is the Sword Saint?”

　　”Attracted away by Lord Raving and a dragon.”

　　The Third Seat let out a slight sigh of relief, “That’s good, if he’s still around, the next step won’t be easy ……”

　　A puzzled look surfaced in Shen Qingzhu’s eyes, “Hasn’t the altar already been destroyed? What else can we do next?”

　　The Third Seat shook his head and looked towards this altar in front of him that had been split in half, stretching out his hand and gently affixing it to the surface of the altar.

　　On the gray altar, those yellowish-brown unknown objects attached to the gap, as if they had come to life, bizarrely wriggled, leaving from the original gap and surging towards the crack in the center ……

　　They crawled to the central break, like glue with life, pulling the left and right halves of the altar towards the center, slowly repairing the altar into a whole.

　　Shen Qingzhu froze in place as he watched the scene before him.

　　”This altar, it was already damaged, even if the Sword Saint chopped it into two halves with a single sword, it’s only broken a little bit more severely.” The Third Seat looked at those writhing yellowish-brown objects and said slowly:

　　”Those yellow things are called [Source Conductor], Sequence 476, not something dangerous, but an important forbidden object treasured by the Church of the Ancient God, because it possesses absolute spiritual power adaptability, just like the Mystic Side’s Universal Glue, no matter where it is stuck, it can perfectly serve as a spiritual power conductor.

　　Even if this altar shattered into crumbs, as long as it was still connected to it, it would still be able to function.

　　Now, with just two more days of spiritual power injected, the Underworld God Altar will be able to revive ……”

　　A fiery color emerged in the eyes of the Third Seat.

　　Shen Qingzhu’s expression was subtle.

　　”Third seat.”

　　The Ninth Seat leapt down from the ground that had been chopped open by Zhou Ping and landed in front of Shen Qingzhu and the Third Seat, his face somewhat grave, “Have you seen the Seventh Seat?”

　　The third seat shook his head, “I have been underground, I was affected by the sword qi of the Sword Saint before and only awakened not long ago, what happened?”

　　”The seventh seat is gone, the twelfth seat is also gone.” The ninth seat frowned and said, “Earlier, the seventh seat ran over and told me that a foreign enemy had broken into the manor, and asked me to search the courtyard, and then I never saw her …… again.

　　Little Shen, have you seen them?”

　　Shen Qingzhu thought seriously for a moment and shook his head, “Never seen them.”

　　Dang-!

　　The top of the underground space suddenly burst open, rolling smoke rose in all directions, and several figures landed steadily on top of the ground.

　　The brows of the third and ninth seats wrinkled at the same time.

　　They turned their heads to look.

　　Only to see five figures wearing Western Masks slowly walking from the smoke, some carrying black boxes, some carrying black coffins, and in midair, a white ghost floating.

　　”It seems …… that the seventh seat was right.” The third seat coldly spoke, “Sure enough, a rat has broken in.”

　　Seeing the face of the Third Seat, the eyes of Jiang’er floating in the air instantly burned with rage.

　　Her fists clenched tightly.

　　Lin Qiye and the others noticed her expression and simultaneously looked at the third seat standing in the center.

　　”That’s him?” Lin Qiye slowly spoke.

　　At An Qingyu’s waist, Jiang’er’s cool voice came from the MP3:

　　”Well, he’s the one …… holding the dog.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded, his eyes narrowed as surging killing opportunities surfaced in his eyes, “Don’t worry, he can’t possibly walk out of here alive, today.”

　　Beside the altar.

　　The third seat’s gaze swept over a few people and whispered in the ears of the ninth seat and Shen Qingzhu:

　　”Listen to my instructions in a moment and retreat in different directions.”

　　A puzzled look surfaced in the eyes of the ninth seat, “Retreat? We’re not going to fight?”

　　”I’m now injured by the Sword Saint’s sword qi, my strength is greatly reduced, it’s better to be careful, anyway, they don’t know the secrets of the altar, when we lure them away, we’ll circle back and complete the altar’s ritual.”

　　Beside him, Shen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and spoke solemnly:

　　”Elder Third Seat, I don’t think it’s a good idea to do this.”

　　”Hmm?” The Third Seat looked at him.

　　”There are only six of them, and the highest realm is the ‘Sea’ realm, while we have a ‘Sea’ realm here, a ‘Limitless’, and a ‘Klein’ ……

　　In terms of battle power, the ninth seat senior alone can suppress them, plus my [Qi Min], I can definitely catch them off guard, and although you are injured, the third seat senior, you can definitely exert ‘Limitless’ level battle power, so when you do the math, how can they alone be our opponents?

　　There’s no way we’re going to lose.

　　Therefore, there’s no need for us to run.”

　　The ninth seat nodded repeatedly.

　　The third seat looked at Shen Qingzhu’s certainty and also hesitated a bit.

　　In fact, from the depths of his heart, he didn’t feel that he would lose this wave either, but to be on the safe side, he still felt that it was better to avoid a head-on clash……. After all, the current him was too weak.

　　”Moreover, if we run away, what will Lord Raving think if he comes back and sees that the altar has fallen into their hands?” Shen Qingzhu slowly threw out a king bomb.

　　Hearing this, the third seat instantly dismissed the idea of running away.

　　”You’re right.” The third seat coldly looked at the few people in front of him, “We won’t lose, so there’s no need to run …… and kill them.”

　　As the words fell, the ninth seat and Shen Qingzhu swept towards Lin Qiye and the others at the same time, their eyes filled with killing intent!

　　”A bunch of rats, how dare you act recklessly in front of us?!” Shen Qingzhu said viciously.

　　The ninth seat poked out his hands and a strong spiral of qi energy swirled above his palms as the fluctuations of the Infinite realm descended on the battlefield!

　　Since Lin Qiye and the others were wearing masks, he naturally couldn’t recognize them as his “good brothers” who had fought alongside him on the Hundred Mile Building, and in fact, even if he had, he would still have taken action against them.

　　After all, he was a [believer], and this was a difference in position.

　　Before Lin Qiye and the others made their move, the white shadow floating in midair was the first to fly out and slammed into the ninth seat’s body.

　　The ninth seat’s body shook and violently stopped, and the manipulated body slowly turned back to look at the third seat standing at the back ……

　　and then violently reversed and charged towards the third seat!

　　Seeing this scene, Shen Qingzhu was first stunned, then a smirk flashed across his eyes.

　　He glared fiercely at Lin Qiye and raised his palms in a gesture of snapping his fingers.

　　”Today, I’m going to fight you to the end in blood!” Shen Qingzhu said with warlike vigor.

　　He blinked at Lin Qiye.

　　As if Lin Qiye thought of something, he raised one finger to point at Shen Qingzhu, a flash of black light lit up from the tip of his finger, and his eyes were dipped in a bizarre black color ……

　　”Spirit manipulation!” He shouted out with a straight face.

　　”Ah!”

　　Shen Qingzhu suddenly covered his forehead and took two steps back, his expression changing dramatically.

　　Afterward, he raised his head somewhat muddledly and stiffly turned his head to look at the bewildered third seat at the back ……

　　”Today, I will fight you to the end in blood!!!”

　　Shen Qingzhu shouted, following the ninth seat that was being manipulated by Jiang’er as he rushed towards the third seat.

　　The original situation of six against three was instantly reversed …… into eight against one.

　　The third seat looked at the unimaginable scene in front of him and

　　Frozen like a wooden chicken.
