Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2202 - 2158: Zhang Qun

The two followed behind Huang Tianwen, delving deeper into the Worship Heaven Sect.

After reaching the mountain top, they went further in.

And what unfolded before them was even more terrifying.

A vast square was packed densely with people.

Those people were sitting cross-legged on the ground, hands clasped, eyes closed in prayer, resembling a massive ritual scene.

Almost everyone in the square was facing the same direction.

The center of the square.

At the center of the square, there was a very strange stone.

The stone appeared pitch black on the outside, somewhat unsightly.

But some exposed parts were gleaming with golden light, like a giant gold stone.

And under the devotees’ prayers, the giant stone emitted a kind of ethereal glow, seemingly enveloping everyone.

The scene looked especially sacred, as if everyone was under divine protection.

"Protector Tang... what are these believers doing?"

It was not only Chen Yang and Tu Qi who were surprised; even Huang Tianwen was astonished.

Logically, since he had dealt with the Worship Heaven Sect for so long, he should be very familiar with it, yet he was still extremely surprised by this scene.

Seeing Huang Tianwen’s surprised expression, Protector Tang showed a somewhat proud smile.

"City Lord Huang, these believers are sincerely praying to heaven, seeking strength!"

"Those ethereal divine lights are heaven’s gift, bestowed upon them as power."

Protector Tang said proudly.

Huang Tianwen was shocked upon hearing this.

The rapid development of the Worship Heaven Sect was not without reason.

This scene, if not for the firm understanding that it was an evil cult, who wouldn’t believe it to be a true divine gift from heaven?

After all, the light emanating from that stone was too divine.

Indeed akin to divine light.

"I see." Huang Tianwen was stunned for several seconds before he finally reacted and nodded.

"Yes." Protector Tang also nodded with a smile, then continued to explain: "City Lord Huang, the divine stone in this square is only used to let ordinary believers receive the power bestowed by heaven. If you join our Worship Heaven Sect, you can have a closer encounter with heaven."

Protector Tang didn’t detect any issues with Huang Tianwen at all; instead, he continued speaking, trying to tempt Huang Tianwen.

"A closer encounter with heaven?" Huang Tianwen asked, puzzled.

Protector Tang smiled in explanation: "Yes, indeed, this kind of divine stone is just an intermediary for us to contact heaven, but it is the most basic intermediary. To gain greater power, one must have a closer encounter with heaven."

"And to have a closer encounter with heaven, one needs a better intermediary. If City Lord Huang joins our Worship Heaven Sect, we can provide you with a better intermediary."

Protector Tang continued.

"Understood." Huang Tianwen nodded absently, never expecting that the Worship Heaven Sect would put on such an elaborate act.

They even created an internal hierarchy to stimulate people to climb upwards, contributing to the sect.

"Well, let’s go. The Sect Hierarch is waiting for you in the main hall."

Seeing Huang Tianwen in a daze, Protector Tang thought he was shaken by their methods, and his inner thoughts were wavering.

So he was ready to strike while the iron was hot, continuing to lead Huang Tianwen to experience their so-called means of acquiring power.

"Alright."

Huang Tianwen nodded, then followed Protector Tang across the square towards the higher ground where the Worship Heaven Sect’s main hall was located.

When passing by the center of the square, Chen Yang paid special attention to the Divine Stone.

He used his mind to carefully probe it.

Upon this probing, he immediately discovered something amiss.

From the outside, the Divine Stone seemed to be emitting divine light.

But with his keen intuition, he distinctly felt that it was not quite as it appeared on the surface!

Although the Divine Stone seemed to be emitting, it was secretly absorbing something.

That sort of thing, Chen Yang had never encountered before, and it gave him a very mysterious feeling, something indescribable.

"What’s the situation? Could it be that this intermediary is not emitting something, but quietly absorbing certain things from the believers?"

Chen Yang felt extremely puzzled internally, but the time passing by was limited.

He couldn’t linger for too long.

Staying too long could easily cause problems.

So he could only briefly sense it and then leave the side, stepping onto the steps towards the Worship Heaven Sect’s main hall.

The Worship Heaven Sect not only excelled in their deceptive play,

but even paid meticulous attention to the workmanship of these steps.

The patterns carved on the steps were of heaven bestowing power upon ordinary people.

And the number of steps was very skillfully thought out.

A total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, very meaningful.

This was not something Chen Yang counted himself; it was that the Protector Tang walking up front proudly explained it himself.

Naturally, Chen Yang merely listened absently.

But in his heart, he truly admired the carefulness of the Worship Heaven Sect’s leader, Zhang Qun.

With such a meticulous approach, why not apply it to serious cultivation instead of setting up such a sect?

Really cannot comprehend.

"City Lord Huang, we have arrived at the main hall, please!"

In the midst of thinking, all the steps had been walked.

Protector Tang also led the three of them into the main hall.

As soon as they entered the hall, the three immediately felt the pressure!

An extremely strong pressure.

Looking up ahead, in the depths of the grand hall, on a high platform, a person sat cross-legged!

Who else could it be if not Zhang Qun?

"Such a powerful pressure!"

Tu Qi felt somewhat uncomfortable immediately upon entering.

Chen Yang was also surprised for a moment at first.

Because someone capable of emitting such pressure, how could they possibly be in the Condensation Realm? At the very least, they must be in the Transcend Mortality Realm.

But as he looked up to observe carefully, he discovered.

This powerful pressure was not coming from the Zhang Qun on that high platform!

But from something else.

This was similar to the so-called Divine Stone in the square.

Without close observation, it was impossible to find out.

Only by carefully observing could one sense some trickery.

But many people, when faced with such a pressure, would likely already be scared and dare not venture to probe further.

This gave Zhang Qun and his associates a chance to take advantage.

Hiding in the background, pretending to be divine.

"Sect Leader Zhang, haven’t seen you for days, are you well."

Upon entering the grand hall, Huang Tianwen, although momentarily stunned, immediately recovered and cupped his hands at the Zhang Qun seated above, demonstrating his enthusiasm while also making Zhang Qun feel that he was genuinely interested in his visit to the Worship Heaven Sect.

"City Lord Huang, what a rare guest, forgive me for not being able to greet you from afar due to matters at hand!" Zhang Qun also spoke faintly.

But his tone held not much politeness.

It contained more of an attitude of a superior, this being his courteous manner towards Huang Tianwen.

Huang Tianwen felt displeased but did not show it.
