192: Chapter 192 Disguise (Part Two)
Lu Zheng's body trembled for only a moment before returning to normal.
There were no other abnormalities.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Song Yongnian couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled and intrigued. Sure enough, what the two had said was correct; Lu Zheng's body could actually resist the power of their Holy Spirit Sect.
After all, even Zhao Mengzhu could not resist this power; she would only undergo a mutation.
"You..."
Zhao Mengzhu, who was watching from the side, was extremely nervous. If anything went wrong, there would be absolutely no way out for them.
"What is it?"
"I'm afraid Lu Zheng might not be able to withstand your power. After all, he is now a member of the Holy Spirit Sect."
Zhao Mengzhu hurriedly explained. However, the more she acted like this, the more excited Song Yongnian became, and he immediately increased the power within his body.
"Rest assured, I wouldn't bear to let him die."
At this moment, Lu Zheng also realized the abnormality in his own body; a force within him had already neutralized this power.
Judging by Song Yongnian's appearance, he wouldn't stop unless he achieved something. It seemed this was also his contingency plan; only by letting his plan succeed could he completely trust him.
His brain was spinning frantically.
The Holy Spirit Sect was an evil cult, so one could say its power carried a sense of evil. And within his own body, what kind of power could resist it?
Divinity Points?!
In an instant, it appeared in Lu Zheng's mind.
Divinity Points were obtained by killing members of the Holy Spirit Sect and destroying that mysterious statue, and they were also related to the evolution of his Clone.
He immediately looked at his attribute panel.
[Main Body]: Lu Zheng
[Superpower]: Awakening
[Skills]: Digestion Enhancement, Perception, Sharpness, Hardening, Command, Rapid Recovery.
[Martial Dao]: Baji Fist Third Realm (Not yet initiated 6%)
[Combat Power]: 793
[Mental Energy]: 170
[Divinity Points]: 118
There were still 118 Divinity Points left.
Lu Zheng's breath hitched. He suddenly remembered that before entering the Mysterious Space, he had 163 Divinity Points, and after killing that monster, he had gained quite a few more.
It was just that after he came out of the Mysterious Space, only 120 Divinity Points remained.
And just now, another two had disappeared.
So it was the Divinity Points that had eliminated this evil power. Previously, Lu Zheng's focus had been on combat power, and he had overlooked the changes in Divinity Points.
He immediately moved his mind, controlling the Divinity Points to stop resisting, and even forcibly controlled his body to lower his body's instinctive resistance to the minimum.
Lu Zheng had thought a lot, but only a moment had passed in the outside world. After Lu Zheng withdrew the Divinity Points, his body immediately reacted to that power.
A sharp pain struck, and many voices even appeared in his mind, though he didn't know what they were saying.
However, because Lu Zheng's Mental Energy was extremely powerful, those voices couldn't interfere with him at all, but the changes in his body appeared before them.
It was the same as it had been for Zhao Mengzhu earlier.
Zhao Mengzhu was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe.
However, the abnormalities on Lu Zheng's body appeared and disappeared very quickly. Song Yongnian's original intention was not to mutate Lu Zheng into a monster.
After withdrawing his hand, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Lu Zheng was filled with hidden meaning.
The Lu Zheng that the Bishop of the Holy Spirit Sect had ordered him to capture had now completely become a member of their Holy Spirit Sect. He had left a Seed of the Holy Spirit inside Lu Zheng's body.
And with the Seed of the Holy Spirit present, there was no possibility of betraying the Holy Spirit Sect.
Moreover, this Seed of the Holy Spirit was split from his own Seed of the Holy Spirit, so in the time to come, as long as he used this Seed of the Holy Spirit to Cultivate, it would slowly transform Lu Zheng, ensuring he would only listen to him.
This was also the reason he wanted to use Zhao Mengzhu to control Lu Zheng. Although the seed had been planted, if he didn't Cultivate, his body would only be mutated by the Seed of the Holy Spirit and become a monster, which was something he did not want to see.
However, just in case, Zhao Mengzhu still had to die.
"Alright."
"I have left a Seed of the Holy Spirit in your body; from now on, you are a first-level deacon of our Holy Spirit Sect."
"You must make good use of this Seed of the Holy Spirit. Its effect on you will be greater than you imagine."
"As for how to use the Seed of the Holy Spirit to Cultivate, it will naturally tell you."
"However, there is one thing: your path of Martial Dao might be affected in the future."
"This is your badge; keep it safe."
He then took out an object from his person and handed it to Lu Zheng. After Lu Zheng took it, he nodded slowly; he could already feel an object existing within his body.
It was extremely evil.
It gave him a feeling of disgust.
Moreover, this thing was slowly influencing him, and at the same time, the method of how to Cultivate appeared in Lu Zheng's mind.
Now, Lu Zheng could only place his hope in Divinity Points, hoping that the Divinity Points could remove it.
But now was not the time to remove this thing; he had to stabilize Song Yongnian first.
After Song Yongnian finished doing this, he looked at Zhao Mengzhu and Senior Brother Li Hongyi on the side and attacked them without the slightest hesitation.
To be precise, it wasn't an attack, but rather he had injected two strands of the Seed of the Holy Spirit's aura into their bodies.
Both of them immediately felt an abnormality in their bodies.
"Do not try to remove it."
"In Jianghai City, I can sense your location at any time. Since you have already intervened, you cannot leave for now."
"When the time comes, I will naturally let you leave."
Senior Brother Li Hongyi and Zhao Mengzhu looked at each other. Perhaps this result was already quite good; after all, they didn't have to die for now.
"I will take Lu Zheng with me."
"You should just act as if you know nothing. If anyone asks, just find any excuse."
"Remember, act as if you have never seen me."
"Otherwise, the power within your bodies will flare up."
Zhao Mengzhu and Senior Brother Li Hongyi nodded helplessly. At this moment, the two had completely become birds in a cage. If word got out, it would bring utter shame to their Dreamers.
"Lu Zheng, come with me."
"Yes, Bishop."
Lu Zheng nodded, his facial expression showing no abnormality. Now he could only bite the bullet. Only Zhao Mengzhu's heart was filled with worry; she was afraid that Lu Zheng would give himself away.
After all, only the two of them knew the true situation.
As it stands now, they had temporarily deceived the Bishop of the Holy Spirit Sect, but they didn't know how long they could keep up the ruse. If Lu Zheng really became a member of the Holy Spirit Sect, that would be disastrous.
But now she couldn't do anything; she could only place her hope in Lu Zheng and pray that they wouldn't be discovered.
Song Yongnian and Lu Zheng had already left.
Senior Brother Li Hongyi let out a long sigh of relief. It was the relief of surviving a disaster, as well as unwillingness regarding everything that had just happened, and a deep sense of powerlessness in himself.
He had already sacrificed so much for power, yet in the end, he was still too weak before absolute power.
He looked at Zhao Mengzhu with an extremely complex expression, which finally turned into a single sentence.
"You, you really... dragged Lu Zheng into this..."
