578: C578 Trap and Invitation

C578 Trap and Invitation

The attack of the Cloud Saint was too fast and without any warning. Before Lu Chong could react, a Seventh Empty Saint was killed by his sneak attack.

Of course, the main reason was that the opponent wasn't targeting Lu Chong.

Although Lu Chong was shocked, he didn't panic. He just looked coldly at the Lian Yun Saint in the distance and the two other Saints that had joined him.

"These three Saints, something is not right." Lu Chong wasn't in a hurry to make a move or express his stance. He wanted to know the true intentions of these three people.

The other Saint that had followed him here had automatically retreated to the vicinity of Lu Chong. They were cautiously facing Lian Yun's group of three.

"Why did Lian Yun's Saint kill Shan Qing's Saint for no reason?" Cheng Yao's Saint looked at the three Saints in front of her and asked in a stern voice.

Shan Qing Saint was the Seventh Empty Saint who was ambushed and killed.

Facing Cheng Yao's question and Lu Chong and the others' unfriendly gazes, the trio didn't panic at all.

"If I say that he is just unlucky and is the closest to me, do you believe me?" Lian Yun Saint revealed an elusive smile and asked with a hint of ridicule.

Cheng Yao Saint reacted very quickly and angrily said, "So, your target is us?"

If the other party only randomly chose to ambush a Saint, then his target would not be just the Mountain Splitter Saint.

But why? What right did they have to have such courage?

The Saint that came from his side was not something that the three of them could withstand.

"Don't forget, we were the ones who appeared in time to save you just now." Cheng Yao's face turned cold.

At this moment, Lu Chong spoke, "Perhaps, their request for help was just an illusion. It was just a trap that attracted us."

What?!

It wasn't just Cheng Yao's Saint. The other Saint that came with Lu Chong also revealed shocked expressions.

"That's right!" Lian Yun's gaze suddenly fixed on Lu Chong as he gently smiled and said, "Saint Lu Chong was the one who saw it."

"However, our target is not everyone. It is you, Saint Lu Chong."

This time, Lu Chong was also slightly stunned.

My target is me?

He had never crossed paths with these three Saints before, and it was impossible for him to have any past grudges with them. Why was he targeted, and even deliberately set up a trap and ambush?

Also, since the target is me, why did you ambush that Mountain Splitter Saint?

Lian Yun Saint did not explain. Instead, he scanned the other Saint before saying, "All of you were only implicated by Saint Lu Chong."

"Therefore, all of you have a choice right now."

Lian Yun Saint laughed in a sinister manner. "Either you die like a mountain collapsing Saint."

"Or, stand on our side and surround and kill Saint Lu Chong."

Before Lu Chong responded, Cheng Yao Saint could no longer hold it in, "You think you can threaten us? Aren't you boasting too much?"

In his point of view, this was indeed a joke.

Not to mention that they still had thirteen Saint on their side, even if it was Lu Chong, he would not be a match for Lian Yun's Saint.

"Is that so?" Lian Yun Saint chuckled and said, "Then all of you have to consider it carefully."

As his voice faded, Lu Chong's expression changed first.

Because at this moment, he discovered that the surrounding space had suddenly changed.

It was like the stars had changed.

The originally dark Yin fog quietly dissipated, turning into a vibrant green color, as if it had arrived in a world of sparkling jade.

This is...

"It's an Ultimate Treasure of Great Saint, and it's barely a high-grade one." Elder Long's voice resounded in Lu Chong's ears.

At this moment, Cheng Yao and the others also sensed the unusual change, and their expressions changed.

Cheng Yao's Saint looked towards the distant lands around her, and the numerous green pillars of light that fell from the depths of the starry sky. She said in shock, "Myriad Willow Great Sage, you are people of the Radiant Cult?!"

Great Sage Myriad Willow!

Radiant Cult?

Lu Chong came back to his senses. After entering the Land of Void Confusion, he also saw some related secret information.

The Cult of Light was actually an organization of the Anti-Temple Alliance.

Don't underestimate this organization. Their strength and foundation were unfathomable.

It was said that the history of the Church of Light was almost as long as the Temple Alliance, at least a hundred thousand years.

Moreover, the Radiant Church had a Great Sage in charge, and there was more than one.

This Church of the Rebel Alliance hidden in the dark was not formed by the enemies of the various clans of the Temple Alliance.

On the contrary, the goal that the Church of Light announced to the public was actually to save the Temple Alliance, and even the entire universe's intelligent beings.

Because the doctrine of the Church of Light believed that they should not open up the Land of Void Confusion, nor should they resist the invasion of the Yin specters and the Essence Devouring Beast. Instead, they should accept and coexist.

The Church of Light also believed that at the end of the Land of Void Confusion was a new and higher civilization. Only by accepting and coexisting could they obtain the recognition of those civilizations.

In short, the teachings of the Church of Light went against the teachings of the Temple Alliance, which was why they had been in a stalemate for so many years.

However, because their believers were too few, and their direct strength was obviously inferior to the Temple Alliance, they hid in the dark most of the time and rarely confronted the Temple Alliance head-on.

Therefore, when Cheng Yao's Saint and the others saw the treasure of the Myriad Willow Great Sage, they were so shocked.

The Myriad Willow Great Sage was one of the three Great Saints of the Radiant Cult, and rarely showed his face in public.

However, Lu Chong guessed that this person must not be the true body of the Myriad Willow Great Saint, but his dharma idol that came with the treasure.

Otherwise, the Great Saints of the Temple Alliance would have sensed it immediately and come to kill one of the three Great Saints of the Radiant Cult.

"So, she came here specifically to kill me?" Lu Chong was somewhat puzzled.

He had nothing to do with the Church of Light. Why would she target him?

"Now, I'll give you all another chance to choose." At this time, Lian Yun Saint spoke again, appearing somewhat pleased with himself.

"Join us, or die together with Saint Lu Chong." Lian Yun Saint shouted.

Cheng Yao Saint fearlessly shouted, "Don't be arrogant. The Radiant Cult is a traitor of our Temple Alliance. Everyone has the right to punish them."0

"You actually joined the Radiant Cult and betrayed the alliance. Aren't you afraid of implicating your own race?"

However, Lu Chong could see that Cheng Yao's Saint was actually a bit fierce on the surface but weak on the inside.

Because at this moment, their distress signal couldn't be sent out, and the Great Sage couldn't possibly detect it.

Furthermore, it was impossible for Lu Chong to summon Nightmare Great Saint's dharma idol under the cover of the Ultimate Treasure of Great Saint.

Sure enough, the Cloud Saint wasn't afraid at all. It sneered and said, "So, as long as all of you join the Radiant Cult, or all of you die here, naturally no one will know our true identities."

The expressions of Cheng Yao and the others changed. They just did not want to let any of them go.

"Saint Lu Chong." At this time, a voice suddenly came from the distant green light pillars.

That voice was extremely gentle, and it even carried a trace of charm as it entered everyone's minds.

"This Great Sage admires you very much. Join us and you can avoid death." This was the voice of Great Sage Myriad Willow.
