CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 230: GRAY SABBATH EIGHT, MONTH OF MADNESS
"Damn it..."
As Sun Yan walked out from the main house and looked at the chaos in the Graveyard, he couldn’t help but sigh.
It must be said, the destructive power of such beings is truly immense.
The place where the Hexagram Array appeared now had only a large pit remaining, with the soil inside showing signs of crystallization.
"This person cannot be kept alive; his existence will only attract more and more people coveting him."
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao stared at Yang Shengsi, calmly saying, "He has fused with the Demon Vine, and to survive, he must feed on blood daily. Allowing him to live is to let a demon bring disaster to the world."
"Then let me, Sun, smash him to dust with one stroke, and be done with it." The Monkey King strode toward Yang Shengsi.
He looked as if he was about to swing his staff to subdue the demon.
"Great Sage, hold on a moment!"
At this moment, Sun Yan suddenly called out.
The Monkey King turned around with a puzzled expression: "What is it?"
"There are still many masterminds behind this person, who have yet to reveal themselves. The ones we just defeated were merely minor figures. I think we should keep him alive first, and take out those hiding in the shadows one by one once they show themselves," Sun Yan suggested.
As far as he knew, both the fourth and third Speakers of the Evil God Council also wanted Yang Shengsi.
Additionally, Xu Fu, who had personally cultivated Yang Shengsi, the creator of the Undead, was still uncertain whether he was alive or dead, or even still in this world.
Keeping Yang Shengsi to lure them out was undoubtedly the most suitable approach.
"In that case, very well."
The Monkey King pointed with a wave of his hand, and the character ’Fix’ appeared on Yang Shengsi’s forehead, rendering him immobile.
It was indeed the Body Stabilization Technique.
With the Monkey King’s Body Stabilization Technique, no one worried that this person still had the ability to escape the Graveyard. If he truly managed to do so, it would be a great embarrassment to the Monkey King.
"Sosia, Elise, Ailanda, come out and clean up the Graveyard, get rid of all this Demon’s Blood," Sun Yan called out.
After the work of the two Guardian Gods of the Graveyard was done, it was up to the Cemetery Members to handle the aftermath and clean up the scene.
Otherwise, with the stench coming from the blood flowing out of Beelzebub’s body, if it wasn’t dealt with, it would be like a garbage dump.
Night fell.
A large number of figures appeared near Gospel Town, slowly approaching the direction of the Graveyard.
At the head of the group, the middle-aged man Li Mian walked side by side with a gray-haired strong man.
"Li, are you really going to give that Undead to me?" Keynes asked with a smile, "I didn’t know you were so generous."
"What I want has never been that person. The secret of longevity in him cannot be studied by modern science. You only need to help me get him back; I won’t compete with you," Li Mian replied calmly.
"In the words of the East, you’re too superstitious, Li."
Keynes shook his head dismissively: "Science is the source of everything. The so-called secret of longevity is actually just the technology to make cells never deteriorate. Although it’s not achievable with current human technology, once a specimen is discovered, our scientists can surely uncover the truth of the secret. You underestimate the power of science."
Li Mian scoffed, "The end of science is theology. Keynes, you underestimate the vastness of this world. Humans are merely ants in the universe. How could you research a way to keep cells from ever deteriorating? The only path is to become a god, to completely break free from the human body and easily achieve what humans cannot."
"Even gods will die. When Ragnarok descends, the Nordic gods, if they are meant to die, they will. It shows gods aren’t as powerful as we imagine, so-called gods are just stronger people."
"I’m not interested in discussing the Dao with you, hurry up and take action." Li Mian impatiently urged.
A person with Eastern thoughts discussing gods with a Western person was essentially two different topics.
Eastern immortals and Western gods are entirely different species.
As Keynes said, Western gods are just stronger people. They live in the sky, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, thinking about how to engage with mortal women.
Constantly sowing their seed on the mortal world, thus giving rise to a bunch of demigods. In Li Mian’s view, a god having relations with a human was just as outrageous as a human having relations with a monkey.
Only Eastern Immortals have truly freed themselves from human limitations.
Tonight, two of the Evil God Council’s Speakers were dispatched at the same time, with a large force mobilized to Gospel Town.
It could be said that at this moment, within a hundred-mile radius of Gospel Town, it was all within the tightly encircled control of Li Mian’s and Keynes’ men; not even a flying bird could escape this area.
But just as this group was about to see the outline of the Graveyard, a large amount of gray fog suddenly began to fill the air between heaven and earth, engulfing the area around the Graveyard.
The round moon in the sky also began to become misty, an inexplicably eerie aura spreading.
"What’s going on?" Keynes asked in confusion.
"No good, we must be exposed already, prepare for battle." Li Mian decisively said.
He thought it was the people inside the Graveyard who had discovered them, but when Li Mian entered the Graveyard, he found it was completely quiet, with no signs of movement.
Just as Li Mian was perplexed, the men who had emerged from the gray fog suddenly began having red-eyed and trembling all over.
"What’s happening?"
Hearing the commotion behind him, Keynes turned back, only to see one of his subordinates raising his gun and aiming straight at him.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
Bullets frantically spewed out, all hitting Keynes’s chest.
"F**K! What are you doing?"
Watching the blood pouring from his chest, Keynes held his wound in anger.
However, it wasn’t just one person doing this, as more and more people began drawing weapons and firing at each other. In an instant, the ground was littered with corpses and blood flowed like rivers.
"This is bad, there’s something wrong with this fog." Seeing the situation, Li Mian quickly realized.
But it was too late; they had already, more or less, unconsciously inhaled some of the fog along their way.
...
"It’s the day of another Sunday."
Standing at the window of a room on the second floor of the main house, Sun Yan looked at the chaotic scene of mutual slaughter outside and couldn’t help but sigh.
Since taking over the Graveyard, he had experienced Bloody Sunday, White Sunday, and Yellow Sunday.
Each Sunday corresponded to a different color of fog, and tonight’s gray fog was clearly a new Sunday.
Every Sunday had different effects, and what the effect of this Gray Sunday was, Sun Yan was truly unsure.
Looking at the mad and chaotic scene outside, not going out and staying inside the main house was the right choice.
After all, bullets do not have eyes.
"Damn it!" Li Mian, too, was thrown into disarray by the sudden situation, grabbing a subordinate’s body as he attempted to flee deeper into the Graveyard.
All the bullets hit the subordinate, turning him into a beehive.
At this moment, during his desperate escape, Li Mian also noticed Yang Shengsi’s figure in the courtyard.
"It’s you!" Li Mian’s eyes lit up, unexpectedly finding what he sought without any effort.
He had been thinking about looking for Yang Shengsi, yet here he was right in front of him.
Li Mian reached out to grab Yang Shengsi, intending to take him away. This was the only way he could meet Master Xu.
"Li Mian, stop! Tell me, what the hell is going on? Why are my people attacking me? Did you set this up?"
At this moment, a sudden punch flew toward him, and Li Mian hurriedly dodged with Yang Shengsi in tow.
Turning back, he saw that Keynes, who had undergone a transformation, was angrily attacking him.
Two horns had grown on Keynes’s head, his skin had turned a fiery red, his chin was bristling with metal-like hair, and his legs had transformed into cloven hooves.
It was a clear sign of utilizing some kind of demon power.
"This has nothing to do with me; I have no reason to harm you. Stay clear-headed; there’s something wrong with the Graveyard!" Li Mian shouted.
"F**K! I’m going to kill you!" Blind with rage, Keynes ignored him and launched another attack on Li Mian.
