Chapter 329: Chapter 253: Arrival at the Golden City, Divine Spirit Questions Ceremony (1/4)

(First update, three more updates will follow; I’ll post the rest after finishing it in one go.)

Golden City.

The entire city was on lockdown; all residents were forbidden from leaving their homes.

Cui Family.

’Knock, knock, knock.’

A gentle knocking sounded, and before the servants could open it, the door was directly pushed open.

A creature clad in pale golden armor, with skin as smooth as jade, entered the courtyard, stepping lightly like a lotus flower appearing with each step.

The old patriarch of the Cui Family was already there to welcome them.

"Greetings, Lord Golden Armor."

The old patriarch cautiously saluted. Even the Celestial Human, whose grand life was nearing its end, came personally, coughing, looking very frail.

No one dared to breathe loudly.

This was the renowned [Golden Armor], hailing from the capital. No one knew his name, and he was always clad in pale golden armor, hence everyone referred to him as Golden Armor.

The Deity surveyed them, and no one dared to meet his gaze, not even the old Celestial Being of the Cui Family, who bowed his head.

"I heard,"

The Golden Armored creature spoke indifferently,

"A month or two ago, someone here kowtowed and invoked a Divine Spirit’s arrow—a so-called World Venerate. Is this true?"

All eyes fell upon Cui Wenda.

Cui Wenda took a deep breath, holding his ground against the oppressive atmosphere, raising his head to gaze at this creature clad in pale golden armor.

Or rather, this Divine Spirit.

"It was me; such a thing happened," Cui Wenda replied.

The Golden Armored creature looked at this young man with interest:

"Ten Thousand Feet Bull Demon, blessed by the World Venerate, an arrow that dimmed the skies of thirty-three cities, but what’s intriguing is..."

"A month ago, before my arrival, I saw a creature standing on a Divine Chariot that similarly dimmed the skies with an arrow, turning everything black and white." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"However, that little fellow served the Central Pole Sect Leader."

The indifferent voice echoed throughout the vast courtyard, and no one in the Cui Family dared to breathe loudly.

Cui Wenda remained silent for a moment, then nodded calmly:

"On that day, I kowtowed in homage to the Central Pole Sect Leader, who bestowed divine decrees, so that the World Venerate who walks among mortals would open his eyes and see."

"Oh?"

The Golden Armored creature was intrigued, muttering to himself,

"That is interesting, the little fellow on the Divine Chariot served two Deities at the same time, or could it be..."

A hint of dread flashed across his face as he muttered inwardly,

"Could it be that a new sect, harboring multiple Divine Spirits, is silently growing and developing?"

The Golden Armored creature was intrigued; if the speculation was true, a new emerging sect might probably hold an unknown Celestial Position!

If he could join, would he be allocated a Celestial Position?

He shook his head, dismissing the thought. A month had passed, and the creature on the Divine Chariot hadn’t appeared again. Even if he wanted to make contact, he wouldn’t know where to start.

After pondering for a moment,

The Golden Armored creature stared at Cui Wenda, but eventually did nothing, turning to leave.

He was indeed too wary of the Central Pole Sect Leader, and even more so of that mysterious creature on the Divine Chariot—who possessed a special means that nearly shattered the shell of a Divine Spirit!

The Golden Armored creature left with these words and disappeared, leaving the members of the Cui Family looking at each other.

After a long time, the old Celestial Being spoke in a deep voice:

"Where is Qingyi?"

Everyone remained silent.

Meanwhile, at the Governor’s Mansion,

The Golden Armored creature had instantly arrived here, barging in boldly with no one daring to stop him,

He made his way directly to an Octagonal Four-Sided Tower—Inner Discussion Pavilion.

The Golden Armored creature called out,

"I sensed that Ruan Yutu has returned?"

As he spoke, he stood in front of the Octagonal Four-Sided Tower, his voice rolling like thunder:

"Ruan Yutu, come out to pay respects to me. I know you have returned. How long do you intend to hide from me with Su Qiansuan?"

The thundering voice resounded through the Governor’s Mansion, and the Golden Armored creature squinted slightly. He initially intended to linger at the Cui Family, but upon sensing Ruan Yutu’s return to Golden City, he came immediately.

"Come out!"

Another call, and the previously clear sky over Golden City suddenly filled with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, with black clouds looming over the city.

"Why be so impatient, senior?"

A calm voice emerged from the Inner Discussion Pavilion, and the next moment, Ruan Yutu stepped out, frowning slightly.

He had already hidden his tracks and been exceedingly cautious, yet he was still discovered—this Golden Armor was likely stronger than his master had anticipated.

After all, the other party hadn’t taken action in many years.

"Ruan Yutu....."

The Golden Armored creature spoke indifferently,

"Your master has always treated you as a treasure, hiding you well. Where is Su Qiansuan, take me to see him."

Ruan Yutu bowed slightly and confidently responded:

"I do not know."

"Do not know?"

The Golden Armored creature remained calm, speaking coldly:

"I came here to take Su Qiansuan back to the capital to report for duty. Does he think he can avoid this trip by staying hidden?"

Ruan Yutu bowed again, still saying:

"I truly do not know where my master is at the moment—perhaps he is busy suppressing the God of Plague and can’t leave."

The Golden Armored creature laughed, as the heavy dark clouds pressed down even more, and fierce winds ravaged through Golden City,

Many vehicles and even trees on the road were snapped by the wind.

The slightest change in the Divine Spirit’s mood could lead to a natural disaster.

"I give Su Qiansuan respect and do not wish to trouble you, the younger generation, but everything should have its limits."

The Golden Armored creature spoke slowly,

"I ask you one last time, where is Su Qiansuan?"

Ruan Yutu cupped his hands:

"In response to the question from the Venerable God, I do not know."

"Good."

Golden City shook, even the tens of thousands of miles of land outside Golden City swayed slightly at this moment,

Ruan Yutu could no longer breathe at this moment, but his cultivation was too low. Facing the majesty of a Divine Spirit directly, every cell in his body was screaming!
