CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: YOU’RE ACTUALLY QUITE NICE

Su Tu slightly furrowed his brows, his muscles tensed instantly.

With fists clenched, although the energy around him was being suppressed, Su Tu was not one to sit and wait for death.

He wasn’t sure what this suspected member of the Three Deceits Cult was planning.

But in such a situation, it surely wouldn’t be anything good.

Moreover, Su Tu had no doubt that these madmen would dare to act right in front of the Martial Arts Department.

However, at this moment, the man’s mental voice transmission rang in Su Tu’s ear.

"Why are you hosting in a student’s body?"

"Did the ritual go wrong?"

Su Tu’s mind churned quickly, immediately realizing that the other had misunderstood something.

Then, he also replied via mental voice transmission.

"Not sure, that’s how it was when I arrived at Ancestor Star."

The man heard this and glanced Su Tu up and down.

"Ancestor Star is so full of variables, it’s not surprising for such a situation to occur, luckily I can sense your pure faith deep in your heart and spirit."

Upon hearing this, Su Tu speculated that the remnant faith of Xue Yue he had consumed had misled this man.

"How can it not be pure? It was all devoured cleanly and merged into one, pure indeed," he thought to himself.

"What happened to your divine thought?"

The man transmitted again.

"Seems it was obliterated by the Martial Arts Dao fortune of Ancestor Star."

When Su Tu heard the man’s question, he readily used the reason he had just fabricated.

"Even the divine thought can be obliterated."

"Ancestor Star truly is wondrous, no wonder the Three Gods wish to revive here!"

"Lord Sufferer said the traces of the Three Gods have appeared in the North Sea; we must hurry to find them. I’ll give you a divine thought to aid in locating the Three Gods."

As the man spoke, an almost imperceptible red light emerged on his palm.

A twisted shadow dove into Su Tu’s inner realm.

In the next moment, the man’s expression changed suddenly.

Because the aura of the divine thought disappeared the instant it entered Su Tu’s heart and spirit.

"What’s going on!" he looked at Su Tu in shock.

Su Tu shrugged helplessly and said, "I don’t know either. Ever since I hosted in this body, the divine thought has been obliterated."

Upon hearing this, the man first frowned, then suddenly understood.

"I get it, your luck is extraordinary. The body you are hosted in must have a strong talent, greatly favored by the Martial Arts Dao fortune, thus weak divine thoughts are obliterated!"

Seeing the man’s words, Su Tu also put on a look of sudden realization.

"Big brother, you’re the smart one."

In reality, the tale of Martial Arts Dao fortune obliteration was all nonsense. The divine thought was actually guided into Su Tu’s inner realm the moment it entered his heart and spirit, and was then devoured cleanly by the starved Xue Yue.

[You have devoured the remnant faith of the Compassionate Blood Mother, Dao Proficiency +50, Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency +50]

[Dao (Middle Tier): 310/1000]

[Spiritual Wisdom (Middle Tier): 900/1000]

"This body is greatly useful, didn’t expect you to become the best host among us four!"

"Unfortunately, I don’t have much divine thought left on me; in a few days, I’ll bring more divine thought to you, a large amount should withstand the Martial Arts Dao fortune of your body."

Upon hearing this, a gleam appeared in Su Tu’s eyes.

This divine thought could significantly enhance his Spiritual Wisdom and Dao proficiency.

A couple more of these, and his Spiritual Wisdom could reach the High Tier soon.

This is indeed the act of a... truly great benefactor!!

Su Tu looked at the man and found him much more agreeable.

"Faith binds our wills as one, and we shall finally bask in divine grace," the man in white muttered and then turned away, heading into the Martial Arts Department.

Su Tu frowned slightly; these lunatics were indeed cryptic.

"I have no idea what that guy misunderstood, but it seems he mistook me for a member of the Three Deceits Cult."

"The Three Gods’ revival, their gods actually are on Ancestor Star, and in the North Sea no less, what a coincidence."

Su Tu walked and thought.

This situation was too critical, and thinking of this, he hesitated before deciding that such a professional matter should be reported to professionals.

He turned around and headed towards the martial hall, where Li Hu should have returned by now.

.....

"Lord Sufferer, I have already found the last Spirit Host."

The man in white respectfully reported to the Sufferer.

"Are you certain?" the Sufferer questioned.

"The Spirit Host, where heart and spirit intertwine with faith, worshiping the Three Gods is our mission. I can see his purity deep in his heart."

As he spoke, he tore at his own skin with his nails, staining his robes with blood.

"He is hosted in a youth with strong Martial Arts Dao fortune, which will greatly help our future plans."

"But his Martial Arts Dao fortune is too strong, weak divine thoughts are instantly obliterated, thus I hope to arrange for a ’Gaze’ of the Benevolent Bone Father."

"With this, the plan can proceed more smoothly."

The Sufferer nodded at his words and said, "Very well."

"You Spirit Hosts are the most devout devotees to the Three Gods, sacrificing flesh, anchoring your heart and spirit with faith, I trust you without reservation."

Upon hearing this, the man in white became even more devout, tearing his skin more fervently, letting the blood flow uncontrollably.

"Are the other plans proceeding smoothly?" the Sufferer asked.

"The Suffering Nuns are in cultivation, Paradise has attracted many children, and seeds have been sown on the Martial Arts Department’s side."

"The plan for the Dream Restoration is already laid out."

The man in white responded.

"Very well, all for the Three Gods, we shall finally bask in divine grace," the Sufferer murmured.

"We shall finally bask in divine grace!" echoed the man in white.

"We shall finally bask in divine grace!!"

A voice echoed from the shadows, layered with countless men, women, old and young, filled with pain, sorrow, and despair, embodying a strange touch of ’divinity’...

...

Inside the martial hall, Su Tu recounted the encounter to Li Hu, though he left out the part about consuming the divine thought.

Li Hu sat across from him, his brows knitted in concentration, and after hearing everything, he spoke.

"He mistook you for a Spirit Host!"

"The so-called Spirit Hosts are the most fanatical devotees of the Three Deceits Cult, offering their flesh to the Three Gods, merging their faith with the Power of the Heart and Spirit, capable of usurping others through rituals."

"These lunatics are indeed causing trouble," Li Hu’s voice was harsh.

Then, he looked at Su Tu with a hesitant gaze, wanting to speak but feeling embarrassed to do so.

"Brother Hu, if there’s anything you need help with, just say it."

Upon hearing Su Tu’s words, Li Hu no longer hesitated and said.

"To be honest, we’ve been trying to track those lunatics’ whereabouts all this time; although we caught some, I feel they are merely small fry released to distract us.

They aim to cover up their true purpose, and now they’ve mistaken you for a Spirit Host, this.."

Li Hu broke off midway, unable to continue; in truth, he wanted Su Tu to help him deal with the Three Deceits Cult, since his junior was now mistaken for a Spirit Host and had a chance to get close to the true target of the Three Deceits Cult.

But the danger was immense; how long could the pretense last without being exposed? Dealing with these madmen, a single misstep could lead to an unfathomable fall, and Li Hu really couldn’t bring himself to have his junior make contact with the Three Deceits Cult.
