Xue An nodded, "In that case, let me ask you, since the aim is to seize the Divine Position of the Moon Mother Deity, why didn’t the Three Manifestations Lord come personally? Instead, he only sent a few of you. What means do you have to complete this task?"
These three questions struck at the core.
Just as Wutong was about to respond, the elder leader of the Four Divine Envoys suddenly turned pale and shouted sternly, "Wutong you...."
He intended to say that betraying your master like this wouldn’t end well for Wutong.
But before he could finish his words, Xue An’s eyes flashed, and a streak of sword light swept through.
The leader of the Four Divine Envoys didn’t even have time to grunt before he was sliced into nothingness.
This ghostly, unpredictable method left the remaining three envoys trembling in their clothes.
Xue An gently said, "Alright, you may continue!"
Wutong, face pale, stammered, "Re...replying to you, sir, originally the Three Manifestations Lord planned to come personally, but he suddenly received an important task from above and had to carry it out first!"
"As for how we will complete this task... the reason is simple, the Moon Mother Deity has actually been gravely injured and is barely alive!"
This statement was like a thunderous revelation, causing an uproar in the crowd.
"What? This is impossible, how could the Moon Mother Deity be gravely injured?"
"Indeed, this guy must be fabricating nonsense!"
The crowd grew restless, with a fervor that seemed they’d swallow Wutong whole.
But among the Mengzhu Tribe leadership, Mengzhu Feifeng and others, all wore grave expressions because they knew that their deity must be in grave trouble; otherwise, there would be no such long silence towards their followers.
And if things were as Wutong said, that the Moon Mother Deity has been gravely hurt, then trouble was indeed brewing.
Just then, Xue An slowly stood up, and the room fell silent in an instant.
Then Xue An walked up to Wutong, looking down at him.
"You mentioned the Three Manifestations Lord followed orders from above, who is this ’above’ you speak of?"
By this point, Wutong had abandoned all principles, immediately responding, "Replying to you, sir, the Three Manifestations Lord has pledged allegiance to the Witch God Cult. This time, he also went to carry out an order from the Witch God Cult, to hunt down a person!"
"Oh? The Witch God Cult?" Xue An’s eyes glistened slightly; he truly hadn’t expected such an unexpected revelation.
He was, of course, no stranger to this Witch God Cult.
Back in the Zhu Family mining area, Xue An and the Witch God Cult once clashed over the Zhu Rong Fire Seed at Mount Bu Zhou.
But he hadn’t expected to hear about it again here.
Yet upon hearing the three words Witch God Cult, the crowd’s faces uniformly changed color.
The reason was simple.
This Witch God Cult was too powerful within the land of the witchcraft, to the extent that even the self-proclaimed rulers of the mountain, the Jingman Clan, would steer clear of them.
The Witch God Cult worships ancient witch gods which clash with the deities of the Jingman Clan.
Thus, a deep enmity exists between the two.
It was unexpected that the Three Manifestations Lord had turned to the Witch God Cult, no wonder his power soared, allowing him to permit his subordinates to rebel and even covet the Divine Position of the Moon Mother Deity.
"Do you know who this person the Witch God Cult wants the Three Manifestations Lord to pursue is?" Xue An asked calmly.
"This small one isn’t quite sure, but I heard the Three Manifestations Lord mention that the person he is to hunt is called Shu Ling’er!"
Shu Ling’er?
This name caused Xue An to momentarily pause, then a peculiar look appeared in his eyes.
If he guessed correctly, this Shu Ling’er was the same Witch God Cult Holy Maiden who once fell to his sword in the Zhu Family mining area.
How had she appeared again this time?
Could it be someone with the same name?
At this moment, Yue Qinghuan also approached Xue An, whispering in surprise, "What’s going on? Didn’t Shu Ling’er die?"
