Chapter 633: Chapter 296: Double Happiness
The sudden visit from the Eternal Life Sect caught the Blood God Branch off guard, as the various sects were constantly engaged in open disputes and covert struggles.
At most, under certain special circumstances, they would collaborate or trade.
For instance, the Blood God Sect would occasionally purchase living corpses or zombies from the Eternal Life Sect for security purposes.
And the Eternal Life Sect would also source corpses from the Blood God Sect, or join forces to attack a location.
But in many cases, the relationship between the two was not good.
Especially after the recent event where Red Fury and Xue Yin, two Blood God Chosen Ones, and Mo Ya, the Eternal Chosen One, were both grievously wounded in battle.
This left the relationship between the two sects extremely sour.
But now, the Eternal Chosen One Luo Duo had personally come to visit the branch?
This made the branch’s upper echelons feel that the visitor harbored ill intentions, but they still followed the command of the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One and welcomed this troop.
There was no helping it; whether Fen Xiao was a traitor was still under question, and whether he was already dead.
They could only follow the orders of the current sole Chosen One of the branch, Lord Di Yun.
Still, they took precautions, arranging a substantial number of soldiers nearby, putting the Chaos Ritual in a state of constant readiness for battle.
In case the troops from the Eternal Life Sect suddenly turned hostile.
Meanwhile, Li Yelai sat atop the city gate of the branch fortress, watching the Eternal Life Sect’s troops approach from a distance.
This was also a remnant army, and nearly all its members were injured. Not all believers could achieve rapid regeneration; most followers of Eternal Life would become mindless living corpses after death, continuing to exist in another form.
Leading them was an elite Plague Cavalry unit composed of ten Plague Knights.
In their midst was a robust Heavy Armor Knight.
He was not small in stature, over two meters tall, riding an Extraordinary Creature clad in green Scale Armor, resembling a wingless Black Dragon.
The creature was as large as a bus, and its Spiritual Power Strength seemed to be at Sixth Sense.
Wow, quite impressive; he himself was only at Sixth Sense, riding a mount that was also at Sixth Sense.
Of course, Li Yelai, the one who rode an Ancient Dragon, was no one to speak.
Li Yelai thought to himself as he looked at the Heavy Armor Knight.
The knight wore shattered plate armor. Judging from the damage on his armor, he had been subjected to a terrible attack, but his body bore no wounds, indicating it must have been healed.
“My lord, he must be the Eternal Chosen One, Luo Duo. His mount, the Black Poison Dragon, is quite famous, said to be a direct descendant of a Supreme being from the depths of Doomsday Forest,” Gongsun Craftsman, who was wrapped with several bandages, whispered a reminder.
He was fortunate; although he had been separated from Li Yelai, he had managed to escape from Giant City through sheer luck.
However, the same fortune did not extend to Li Yelai’s other servants, who had been completely wiped out.
Now, Li Yelai, the Chosen One,
only had Gongsun Craftsman and the Demon General Bai Ya, his two direct subordinates, appearing somewhat meager.
“Using a Supreme descendant as a mount?” said Li Yelai, “Does the Supreme being have no objections?”
“It is said that he once cured a chronic illness of that Supreme…” Gongsun Craftsman replied, “Extraordinary Creatures sow their seeds indiscriminately, probably they don’t care.”
“If the lord requires, we will go to Doomsday Forest to hunt Supreme descendants for you later,” suggested White Cliff Demon General.
“We’ll talk about it when there’s a chance, we have suffered too much loss this time,” Li Yelai shook his head slightly.
At that moment, the army stopped in front of the fortress gate, with most of the soldiers resting on the spot.
While the leading group of Plague Cavalry escorted the Chosen One Luo Duo, ignoring the Blood God Sect powerhouses on both sides of the valley, they entered the fortress.
Quite audacious!
The branch’s upper echelon thought, could a Chosen One from another sect dare to enter the Blood God Branch so boldly?
Were they not afraid of being encircled and killed? Or did they think the branch couldn’t handle two Sixth Sense and these few Plague Knights?
Despite the branch’s heavy losses, they still held some trump cards.
Some of the branch’s higher-ups looked toward Li Yelai, as if with just one command from him, they could capture Luo Duo.
But Li Yelai remained silent and walked down from the city wall to welcome the guest.
The Chosen One Luo Duo also knew how to play his part, leaping down from the Poison Dragon of his own accord.
And the moment he left his mount, the Plague Knights dismounted as well.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the countless Blood God Sect believers, these Plague Knights bowed their heads to Li Yelai.
“Greetings, Lord Di Yun!”
The Plague Knights were actually bowing down to the Blood God Chosen One?
What? Were they coming to pledge allegiance to Lord Di Yun?
The branch’s higher-ups widened their eyes, and one of them even hastily grabbed paper and pen, eager to record this moment in their doctrine, so that the Blood God believers of future generations would know of this deed.
But what surprised them even more was Luo Duo, the Chosen One, speaking at this moment.
“I have come to see you, my unfamiliar brother.” Luo Duo removed his helmet, revealing an honest face. “We are both children of the Father, we ought to get to know each other well. Great Chosen One of the Dual Gods.”
This was a special title used by the Eternal Life Sect’s Chosen Ones, who considered themselves children of the Father of Plague.
Thus, among the Chosen Ones, they referred to each other as brothers and sisters.
Even if they fought to the point of spilling their brains out, they still addressed each other like this.
Li Yelai nodded with a smile, “Come in for a chat, my ‘elder brother’.”
“Alright, let me see what the Blood God Sect’s ceremony is like. I’ve heard of it but never seen it before,” Luo Duo said with a smile, his already amiable face looking very friendly.
Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the branch and the believers were left with their minds crashing.
Dual… Chosen of the Double Gods? They all understood what such a being signified!
