Chapter 980 Divine Spokesperson
He turned to look at Zheng Ze beside him and said, “Wait for me outside, try to stay as far away as possible. I’ll sneak in first to check the situation.”
“Alright, Mr. Fang.” Zheng Ze backed away.
Fang Yu used Xuanran energy to make himself completely transparent.
Then, he concealed his aura.
After all preparations were complete, Fang Yu strode confidently through the temple’s main entrance.
Before entering, he could see two stone statues beside the gate.
These two statues looked like dogs.
As he approached the entrance, Fang Yu could clearly feel a divine consciousness scanning his body.
If the divine consciousness were keen enough, Fang Yu would be discovered despite concealing his form and aura.
However, this divine consciousness obviously lacked such ability.
Fang Yu simply stepped over the threshold and entered the temple without experiencing the expulsion the taxi driver had mentioned.
Inside the temple was a courtyard.
At the front of the courtyard stood a black statue.
It was a monster with eight heads and eight tails.
From its appearance, the heads and tails resembled pythons, but the two heads in the middle were different… more like imitations of the divine dragons from Yan Xia legends.
It had two horns on its head and long dragon whiskers.
But overall, this eight-headed, eight-tailed thing… looked more like a monster.
“Is this the so-called Great Serpent?” Fang Yu thought.
With his hands behind his back, Fang Yu slowly crossed the courtyard and walked through the temple’s front gate.
The group of people was not here.
This place had a pool built into it.
This should be the front hall of the Great Serpent Temple.
Fang Yu walked straight through and continued deeper inside.
At this point, a large hall appeared before him.
This was the temple’s worship hall.
At this moment, dozens of people were kneeling in worship inside the hall.
Before them was the object of their worship.
Fang Yu took a glance and was stunned.
An old man with barely any hair and a withered face sat in front of these people, leaning against a chair.
These people in the Great Serpent Temple… were worshipping a living person?
Fang Yu stared at the old man sitting above for a long time and noticed he wasn’t breathing.
Which meant… this was a dead person.
Worshipping the dead sounded normal, but placing a corpse directly on a chair for worship seemed quite bizarre.
There was also a side hall next to the worship hall.
Fang Yu walked toward the side hall.
This place was much more normal, with a divine tablet being worshipped.
Fang Yu walked a few steps forward and looked at the name on the divine tablet.
“Great God Yuguan.”
Fang Yu frowned slightly, unfamiliar with these names.
He glanced at the statue before him, which depicted a man holding a torch.
After looking around and finding nothing else, he turned to leave.
After he turned around, the eyes of the statue on the divine platform flashed with light.
…
Fang Yu went directly to the worship hall.
By now, the group of people had raised their heads.
A quick glance showed about sixty people in the hall.
From their attire, some wore blue and others purple.
These were the people from the Matsuo family and the Udagawa family he had met yesterday.
Fang Yu also saw Udagawa Kawahito at the front of the purple-robed group.
These people raised their upper bodies, pressed their palms together, and closed their eyes tightly.
Fang Yu looked at the corpse in front of them and frowned.
Something wasn’t right… this seemed to be more than just a corpse.
Because… it was still emitting an aura of divine power.
The aura wasn’t strong, but it was quite obvious and impossible to ignore.
Was this a living person or a corpse?
Fang Yu frowned.
After closing their eyes for nearly five minutes, the crowd in the hall bowed once more.
When they raised their heads again, Udagawa Kawahito, at the front of the Udagawa family, opened his eyes and looked at the old man with closed eyes before him, saying devoutly and respectfully, “Lord Yazuchi, recently the Yagi family and Kamimura family were consecutively exterminated… but we haven’t found the culprit… Please, for the sake of preserving the Yagi and Kamimura bloodlines, avenge them…”
After speaking, Udagawa Kawahito led everyone in another bow.
The others present also prostrated themselves.
Fang Yu stared at the old man on the platform.
At this moment, the old man’s eyes remained closed, motionless.
Below, none of the crowd raised their heads.
The hall fell into an eerie silence.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Fang Yu was becoming impatient.
This is just a corpse, right? And they want it to help avenge them?
“The culprit… is right here.”
But just then, the old man who had been sitting quietly in his seat suddenly spoke.
His eyes remained tightly closed, but his mouth moved.
The crowd in the hall, hearing what he said, raised their heads and looked around, their faces filled with terror.
The culprit was here?
Doesn’t that mean the person who exterminated both the Yagi and Kamimura families was among them!?
But after looking around for a long time, they couldn’t see anyone else or sense any other presence in the hall.
Udagawa Kawahito looked at the old man in front, his face pale.
Lord Yazuchi couldn’t be lying; what he said must be the truth!
But… where was the culprit?
Just then, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.
“Swoosh!”
His eyes were like those of a venomous snake, with yellow vertical pupils.
“He is right there.” The old man shifted his gaze, staring directly at Fang Yu’s position.
At this moment, Fang Yu was standing in an open space on the left side of the hall.
The crowd in the hall changed expression, all standing up and backing away.
The area around Fang Yu’s position became even more open.
“Who is it!? Show yourself!” Udagawa Kawahito stepped forward, trying to appear calm as he shouted.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes at the old man above and revealed himself.
As soon as Fang Yu appeared, a chorus of gasps erupted around him.
There really was someone hiding in the hall!
Before Lord Yazuchi mentioned it, they had no idea, and the realization sent chills down their spines!
According to Lord Yazuchi, this person was the one who exterminated the Yagi and Kamimura families!
He was a living, breathing god of death!
“Old man, don’t think you can spout nonsense just because you look like a corpse.” Fang Yu frowned at the old man in front.
Then he turned to look at Udagawa Kawahito and smiled, “Hello, we meet again.”
“Who are you!?” Udagawa Kawahito backed up two steps and asked loudly.
“Oh, I forgot.” Fang Yu used Xuanran energy to change his appearance back to how he looked yesterday.
“It’s, it’s you!?” Udagawa Kawahito’s face was filled with disbelief.
Fang Yu withdrew the Xuanran energy, returning to his original appearance, and said, “Actually, this is my real face.”
“…It’s you, no wonder you’re so powerful! So it was you!” Udagawa’s eyes widened as he gasped for breath.
Fang Yu’s performance yesterday had shocked him deeply.
How could an inconspicuous assistant be so powerful?
But now knowing his identity as the culprit who exterminated two major families… he certainly possessed such strength!
“I need to clarify, I have nothing to do with those two families.” Fang Yu said.
“Lord Yazuchi personally identified you, and you still try to deny it!?” someone shouted.
“I don’t know what’s going on with your Lord Yazuchi, but this matter has nothing to do with me.” Fang Yu said.
“If it has nothing to do with you, why did you come to our Great Serpent Temple!?”
“The culprit is him! He came here to destroy our Great Serpent Temple!”
“Please, Lord Yazuchi, take action and kill this person!”
The crowd opposite was extremely agitated.
“I’ll say it one more time, the extermination of those two families has nothing to do with me.” Fang Yu said, “I came here only to…”
At this point, Fang Yu scratched his head.
“I came here just to have a look around.” Fang Yu said.
“Do you take us for fools? Deliberately hiding here and claiming you just came to look around!?” someone else shouted.
Udagawa Kawahito’s expression changed rapidly. He turned around, prostrated himself again, and shouted, “Please, Lord Yazuchi, take action and execute this person!”
The others around him also reacted, following his lead and kneeling down.
The person before them had exterminated both the Yagi and Kamimura families, his power was terrifying.
Their group was absolutely no match for him.
But in this place, in the Great Serpent Temple, they could ask Lord Yazuchi to take action!
Lord Yazuchi was the spokesperson of the Great Serpent!
He could communicate directly with the deity and possessed the power to execute anyone!
No matter how strong Fang Yu was, he couldn’t surpass a deity!
“I warn you one last time, I didn’t come here looking for trouble.” Fang Yu stood in place, looking at the old man seated above, and said coldly, “But if you insist on provoking me, don’t blame me for tearing down your Great Serpent Temple.”
