The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1220 - 651: Enter, Old Heavenly Master!

No...

The key point does not lie in the strength of the Priest, but in...

"Why?!"

Po Yun was perplexed. He recalled Bai Di’s report earlier, mentioning that a thief had kidnapped the Priest.

Now it seemed that the thief was undoubtedly this Zhao, but...why would the Priest of our clan, the High Priest serving the Divine, help this Zhao and punch at me?

It wasn’t just him.

Within the Liao Clan’s army, some of the tribesmen who heard him call this name were even more bewildered, unable to believe it.

Yet, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tuoba Weizhi just turned his head, looked at Zhao Douan behind him, and said with a bit of guilt:

"Servant came a step late and caused fright to the master."

Master...our clan’s Priest acknowledges the Zhao as the master...Po Yun found it utterly absurd.

Zhao Douan smiled faintly and said calmly, "No matter."

Then, he looked at Po Yun with a smile and said:

"What did you say earlier? I didn’t hear it clearly."

Po Yun’s vision almost darkened, and at this time, Tuoba Weizhi had already turned back, bent his knee, sunk his waist, and the girl Priest was surrounded by nearly purple flames, rushing straight at Po Yun.

Po Yun hastily responded, entangling in a fight with the girl.

The scene that followed was almost a repeat of before, only this time, the furious storm of attacks was from Tuoba Weizhi, and the once domineering Po Yun was now in a sorry state of defense.

Half-step Celestial, there are highs and lows!

However, it was evident to the discerning eyes that if purely comparing strength, the two were almost alike, with little difference.

But Tuoba Weizhi seemed to have some "restraint" over Po Yun, as Po Yun fought back, his forehead cracked several times, unleashing Evil God magic, but it had no effect on the girl Priest.

And every strike from Tuoba Weizhi seemed to restrain and suppress the power within Po Yun.

Even though this suppression was not severe, it was enough to influence the outcome.

"Wow——"

When Po Yun was once again hit and sent flying by Tuoba Weizhi, crashing like a meteor into the midst of the army, crushing a group of Liao warriors.

He spit out a mouthful of blood, got up, his face twisted, and stared fiercely at Tuoba Weizhi standing in mid-air, veins bulging as he roared:

"Raise the array!!!"

At this moment, the tribesmen who were in a stupor suddenly awakened, with someone first echoing: "Raise the array!"

"Raise the array!"

"Raise the array!"

Amid the escalating shouts, all the Liao people simultaneously knelt, raised their hands high, and loudly chanted an exotic incantation.

Every tribesman’s forehead cracked open, and a red cloud rose.

Countless red clouds gathered, instantly dyeing the sky red, accompanied by lightning.

Tuoba Weizhi’s attacking action paused, and a slight panic appeared on her expressionless face for the first time.

"What’s going on?" Zhao Douan asked.

Tuoba Weizhi turned back and said:

"They’re worshipping the Divine, to summon the descent of the Divine."

Zhao Douan was taken aback and said:

"Isn’t it said that the Great La Ba wouldn’t easily leave the Great Territory? Even Song Zhi can’t control it?"

Tuoba Weizhi explained:

"The True God’s true form wouldn’t leave, but what they’re summoning through worship is not the true form..."

Got it!

Zhao Douan was not unfamiliar with this common knowledge; whether True God or Evil God, they could be summoned by believers.

He had witnessed similar occurrences more than once.

However, the Great La Ba, this "artificial Divine," was truly special, which made him overlook its "Divine" essence.

Other Divines did not have a main body, but the artificial Divine Great La Ba had a so-called "true body."

At the same time, it did not mean the Great La Ba could not descend as an "Avatar."

"Are they worshipping to summon the Divine?"

At this time, a few others also gathered, and Yu Xiu looked up, murmuring softly in the sky.

Jin Jian held the magic wand, his little face taut:

"What do we do?"

Han Zhao came with a breezy ride, looked up at the red-dyed sky, and said quickly:

"Once the Great La Ba enters Yu Country territory, it will be suppressed by the True God, let alone this group of Liao people did not perform a blood sacrifice, just calling, the descending Evil God won’t be that strong, not even reaching Heavenly Human level..."

Zhao Shixiong came hurriedly with the Soul-breaking Blade:

"If it’s a Fake Celestial, I should be able to restrain it together with the Tuoba Priest." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Is it just restraint?

Everyone’s hearts were heavy; if the Divine can hold back our strongest two, will the remaining people be able to resist the Liao warriors led by Po Yun?

Han Zhao’s expression changed, suddenly took out a six-sided die from his sleeve, pondered:

"In the worst case, I could try rolling the Destiny Dice; if it lands on ’Lucky,’ the area I’m in will turn calamity into blessing, smooth sailing..."

"No!"

Yu Xiu and Jin Jian turned pale, stopping in unison, watching the die as if it were a formidable enemy, fearing the Fourth would drop this ancient suppressing object to the ground carelessly.

Yu Xiu angrily gritted her teeth:

"If you roll a ’Disaster,’ wouldn’t we become a dire place of catastrophe here? The whole city follows you into misfortune?"

"I was just saying... and my luck usually isn’t bad..."

Han Zhao unwillingly put the die back into his sleeve.

Zhao Douan was also surprised by the two girls’ reactions; this thing seemed more "terrifying" than expected.

...

On the city wall.

Gongsun and others also saw the red clouds covering the sky and the soon-to-be-revealed Great La Ba amidst the mysterious chants in the red clouds.

Everyone was enveloped in red light, and the world seemed to be dyed thoroughly in blood.

"This is bad..."

Countless generals and soldiers felt despair; is this city, after all, unkeepable?

"Don’t panic, since the governor has taken action, he must have a strategy..." Gongsun was still trying to stabilize the army’s morale.

The surrounding people didn’t speak, but one by one, their gazes instinctively looked towards Zhao Douan below the city.

"What to do? Fight or defend?" Zhao Shixiong asked heavily:

"The Evil God they summoned shouldn’t last long; if we fight while defending, there might be a chance to repel them."

"Retreat?" Zhao Douan withdrew his gaze from the red cloud at this time, surprised:

"After all the effort today, it’s not to let the enemy retreat."

Everyone was stunned; in this situation, does the lord still have another card to play?

"Did you forget?" Zhao Douan’s smile was ambiguous:

"We aren’t the only ones who came to Yunfu."

The next moment, as if coming true, everyone present was surprised to hear a vague angry roar from the Great La Ba in the sky.

And then...

On the southern horizon, a vast, pure Qingyun gleamed at a terrifying speed, spreading across the sky.

Supporting on the blade with a smile, Zhao Douan said, "Welcome, Heavenly Master."

Zhang Yan Yi is here!
