Chapter 1499: Chapter 1499: The Hunt for the Descenders (Part 7)

“So it wasn’t that guy, looks like I overthought it.” Hearing about the sudden appearance of the ambusher, Shang Di felt a bit disappointed; it wasn’t the person he imagined.

“But of course, if he had entered the Void Breaker realm and could continuously kill so many strong warriors, I would be even more in danger. Thankfully, it was a false alarm, and someone else made the move.”

Shang Di silently mused, at this time a strong martial artist from the Mother Mountain Cult patted Shang Di’s shoulder and said, “Your idea was right, you did lead out that guy.”

Shang Di forced a smile; he stood up to offer the idea mainly because he thought the person taking action was Ye Qiu. He wanted to borrow the actions of these people to kill Ye Qiu, but ended up with a mysterious figure, definitely not Ye Qiu.

Moreover, these guys all chased after him but still let the other party escape. Shang Di refrained from mocking them slightly was already a good effort.

“Being able to help senior find the attacker is my honor.” Shang Di said words he did not truly mean, while in his heart he was filled with hatred for the martial artist from the Mother Mountain Cult. If his strength were restored, he would immediately leave this place.

But it’s impossible now, in the presence of these intruders; the martial artist from the Mother Mountain Cult wouldn’t let him go, and he couldn’t leave. His strength wasn’t enough to be an opponent for the cult’s strong warrior.

“If only the power of faith would accumulate faster, if I had another hundred million followers, in no time I could condense the body of faith.” Shang Di secretly plotted; currently he had too little faith power on him, insufficient to escape from these intruders. Mainly being beside the Mother Mountain Cult strong warrior, he dared not easily use the power of faith, fearing it might trigger the other’s memory of the past events. He could only slowly condense in secret, once the faith power was enough, he could leave immediately, no need to stay by the cult’s strong warrior’s side.

“In one more month, it will be time for me to leave.” Shang Di silently whispered to himself. Based on the current speed of faith power pouring into his body, he could recover in a month’s time. As long as he endured this month, he could leave.

Shang Di’s respectful demeanor greatly satisfied the Mother Mountain Cult strong warrior, who laughed and said, “These days, I still haven’t thought of where I’ve seen you before, but you’re quite clever, follow me in the future.”

“I’m already following you, senior, why say such things?” Shang Di replied with a smile.

“Haha… not bad, not bad. You can wander around, no need to stay by my side all the time. When I need you, I’ll naturally call you,” the cult’s strong warrior nodded with a smile.

“Thank you, senior.” Shang Di bowed with fists cupped, feeling pleased. As long as he has some space alone, he can leave even earlier.

After that, the Mother Mountain Cult strong warrior no longer paid attention to Shang Di and discussed with other intruders how to capture the ghost-faced doppelganger, especially with this trap having failed, they must plan carefully.

Shang Di walked to a relatively deserted beach, looked around and saw no intruders.

However, he didn’t take the opportunity to run away, instead he sat down, enjoying the sea breeze leisurely.

“That guy said I could wander around, his spiritual power must be secretly watching me. If I show any signs of escape, he would definitely appear.” Shang Di contemplated.

He thought the Mother Mountain Cult strong warrior must be observing him in secret. It’s impossible he would truly let him leave; saying he granted him some freedom might be for better observation.

“I must hold steady, to leave alive, I need to be fully prepared.” Shang Di knew clearly that even if he could leave now, he wouldn’t get far before being discovered. There were intruders everywhere nearby; he couldn’t instantly fly to the other side of Earth.

Since he couldn’t achieve that, he should accumulate strength properly; once the time is ripe, leaving would be easy.

Shang Di enjoyed the scenery while secretly absorbing the power of faith from all directions.

In this territory of Huaxia, there aren’t many people who believe in Shang Di, so the power of faith gathers slowly. Fortunately, in the Western world, he has quite a few followers; there’s an endless stream of faith power gathering from the West. Although the speed is slightly slower, the quantity is vast.

In the sky above, every move of Shang Di fell under Ye Qiu’s watchful eyes.

Shang Di at the moment was desolate, but his actions made Ye Qiu’s expression change. Ye Qiu felt a faint power in the air converging towards Shang Di, it was not Spiritual Energy but an indescribable energy.

“Power of faith?” Ye Qiu heard from Satan that Shang Di’s strongest power is the faith power, achieved through absorbing the faith power of billions of believers.

“Looks like his foundation is indeed faith power; he doesn’t cultivate Spiritual Energy, instead, he absorbs people’s faith. This form of cultivation is truly unique.”

Ye Qiu remarked, it must be said Shang Di’s cultivation is distinctive, differing from all other Martial Artists, relying on people’s faith to become a deity.

In truth, in Huaxia, there’s a lot regarding faith, such as the gods and Buddhas worshipped in many temples. Ye Qiu was amazed, “If it’s really like this for him, does it mean all the gods and Buddhas are real?”

“No, if they actually existed, they shouldn’t have never appeared.”

Ye Qiu immediately refuted this notion.

The faith worshipped in Huaxia, this Buddha, that god, why haven’t they appeared like Shang Di?

Or is there a huge distinction between the two?

Ye Qiu couldn’t understand; he only knew that being worshipped brings forth a magical power, which is the power of faith.

This power has a remarkable power in martial arts.

Ye Qiu thought no more. What he considered was finding a chance to completely eradicate Shang Di, to remove the enormous threat this guy might suddenly pose.

The task of hunting Void Breaker realm can be set aside for now; Shang Di must be removed by any means, Ye Qiu is very cautious about Shang Di, his strongest and most troublesome adversary on Earth so far. If Shang Di isn’t resolved, dealing with the intruders doesn’t seem secure.

“This guy is surely thinking about escaping, I can’t believe he would willingly stay beside the intruders.” Ye Qiu decided to closely watch Shang Di; he bet that Shang Di definitely wouldn’t stay put and would find an opportunity to leave, as soon as he secretly leaves, that’s when Ye Qiu will strike.

Shang Di didn’t know he was already targeted by Ye Qiu, who even suspended his plan to hunt the intruders to deal with him.

Shang Di continued absorbing the power of faith persistently. This power, different from Spiritual Energy, as long as Shang Di didn’t want the other party to notice, even a Void Breaker realm Martial Artist couldn’t detect it, very unique.

Ye Qiu quietly watched this scene, he instead hoped Shang Di would recover quicker; by then, it would be the day he strikes.

Dealing with Shang Di, for Ye Qiu now, is merely a blink of an eye.

To avoid exposure, Ye Qiu is not in a hurry; planning and acting afterward, waiting patiently for the enemy to take the bait is the right approach.
