165: Are you lost?

While Su Yuan was still diligently devouring, he had no idea that his Evil Human Kin had already attracted attention.

However, Su Yuan had long anticipated this; given the frenzied nature of these Evil Human Kin, their discovery was inevitable.

Because of the Evil Human Kin's bloody sacrifices, even Su Yuan himself found it very difficult to stop them from sacrificing.

This was because it would make them suspect they had been abandoned by God, and they would commit suicide.

What Su Yuan didn't know, however, was that Bishop Yang and Secretary Huang, whom he initially didn't think highly of, had now developed significantly.

Wutong Town, this ancient small town, had now almost completely become the territory of the Church of Eternal Life.

The two of them had almost converted most of the adults in Wutong Town into believers.

If Su Yuan had seen it, he would have been astonished.

This was because Bishop Yang and Secretary Huang had no relevant skills or special abilities; they had recruited so many believers purely through their personal abilities.

Under the scorching sun.

Inside the Wutong Town Public Security Office, several Security Officers in uniform sat on chairs by the window, displaying eerie smiles.

The entire Wutong Town was much quieter than usual, subtly exuding a strange atmosphere.

Just then, on the mountains surrounding Wutong Town, a wildcat the size of a tiger descended from the mountain and intruded into Wutong Town.

The wildcat, brown all over, spotted a woman and pounced on her fiercely.

Fortunately, there were others present who, armed with tree branches and brooms, rushed forward together, scaring off the wildcat.

“You beast, this is the land of the great lord of eternal life! You are blaspheming the lord of eternal life!”

The people who were attacked were all believers of the Church of Eternal Life; they issued stern rebukes, their eyes filled with panic, but even more with anger.

The wildcat quickly realized these people were bluffing, letting out a low growl, lowering its body, and preparing to attack.

“You sinful beast, defiling the pure land of the lord of eternal life, you have committed a monstrous crime!”

At this moment, a voice filled with fanaticism came, belonging to Bishop Yang, who approached in a black robe.

“Bishop Yang.”

Several townspeople said respectfully, completely devoid of the panic of being attacked by a powerful predator.

It seemed that after the Bishop arrived, all difficulties in this world were insignificant.

The wildcat's green pupils looked at Bishop Yang, seemingly sensing some threat, and let out a threatening low growl.

“A mere beast, yet it dares to defile the pure land of my Lord. Let your body and Soul be sacrificed to the supreme lord of eternal life!”

Bishop Yang looked at the wildcat, the fanaticism and madness bursting from his pupils made even the beast shiver.

The next moment, Bishop Yang suddenly rushed towards the wildcat, bursting forth with extreme speed, startling the wildcat.

Its legs pushed off forcefully, leaping backward, trying to escape Bishop Yang.

“A mere wildcat, living in a false world, humble and insignificant. Let me help you integrate into a truly great existence and escape the sea of suffering!”

Bishop Yang sneered, and from beneath his wide sleeves, two long, sticky tentacles suddenly extended, like two giant pythons, instantly coiling around the wildcat.

“Roar!”

The wildcat roared, its sharp claws like daggers, about to strike the tentacles.

Bishop Yang smiled eerily, the two tentacles lifted the wildcat, and slammed it to the ground, interrupting its attack.

Then, the two tentacles, like giant pythons, coiled around the wildcat, squeezing it.

The coiled wildcat let out a tragic wail.

“Let your body and Soul be sacrificed to please the great lord of eternal life!”

Bishop Yang's body walked over, stepping on the wildcat's head, and a terrifying force erupted, producing a chilling sound of bone cracking.

A wildcat as large as a tiger died here just like that.

“Bishop Yang, may the great lord of eternal life watch over you!”

The townspeople who witnessed all of this showed no surprise, only faces filled with fanaticism and awe.

“The lord of eternal life is supremely great, transcending space and time, like the Universe, yet its gaze always shines upon its devout and humble believers!”

Bishop Yang said respectfully and fanatically, “Let this excellent offering be sacrificed to the supreme lord of eternal life!”

“As you command, Bishop Yang!”

The townspeople, with expressions of madness and reverence, collectively lifted the wildcat and walked into the distance.

“Sacrifice, with bloody sacrifice, to the great lord of eternal life, we offer our loyalty and faith.”

“In this false world, only by dedicating oneself to the faith of the lord of eternal life, in its transcendent power, can one possibly escape the sea of suffering and reach the other shore.”

“Even if we completely sink into its endless power, it is the best destination for us believers!”

Bishop Yang's mouth split into a crazy smile as he followed along.

Wutong Town is a small town.

Even though it belongs to a large city like Linan City, not many people have heard of it.

Although Wutong Town is an ancient town of a thousand years, Rabbit Country is an ancient civilization that has completely inherited five thousand years of Legacy.

Within Rabbit Country, ancient towns of a thousand years are not numerous, but certainly not few.

The mere title of a thousand-year-old ancient town is completely unremarkable in the entire Rabbit Country.

But it was precisely such an ancient and remote town that welcomed guests today.

“Is this the Wutong Town you mentioned? I don't think it's all that great.”

A clear female voice sounded.

It was a Young Miss in her twenties, with fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs—a true beauty.

“A Yang, which mountain gully did you find this in? It's so remote!”

Said a muscular man in a white tank top.

“Qianqian, didn't you say you wanted an ancient town that wasn't famous and didn't have too many tourists?”

“This is it. Only A Yang, being a local of Linan City, knows about this place. If it were us, we'd definitely never find it.”

Another female voice sounded; this was also a very attractive girl, with a face as tender as an elementary school student's and incredibly fair skin.

What was noteworthy was her ambitious chest, which commanded admiration.

“Oh, Huanhuan, you're already feeling sorry for him just from a little talk!”

Yun Qianqian teased.

“This Wutong Town is a truly ancient town of a thousand years. The scenery and environment inside are good, and there's no predatory spending. There are even ancient architectural remains inside.”

Xu Yang said.

This was a handsome young man, appearing to be in his twenties, with a slightly slender build.

“Let's go, let's go inside and take a look.”

The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards Wutong Town.

The four of them were university students who had planned a summer trip together, but the famous scenic spots nearby were expensive, which led them to this place.

Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of Wutong Town.

On both the left and right sides here, there was an ancient Phoenix tree, looking very old, sturdy, and tall, with layers of bark peeling on the main trunk, resembling scales from a distance.

“A Yang, these two ancient trees are Phoenix trees, right?”

Yun Qianqian said, taking out her phone to take photos and check in.

“Yes, these are Phoenix trees. According to legend, ancient Phoenixes specifically resided in Phoenix trees.”

Xu Yang said, while taking photos of his new girlfriend, Chen Huanhuan.

“You know, the scenery here is actually pretty good.”

Xue Zhan stroked his chin, gazing into the distance—rolling mountains, lush green forests, and excellent air.

This place felt like a secluded paradise, far from the bustling city.

“Let's go, first find a hotel inside and settle down.”

The group said, walking further into Wutong Town.

Soon, some townspeople with slightly rustic clothing appeared before them.

The townspeople of Wutong Town were also surprised to see the four, then showed strange expressions, staring at them, which made Xu Yang and the others frown slightly.

“Why are these people looking at us like that?”

Chen Huanhuan furrowed her delicate brows, feeling a bit uneasy. For some reason, the townspeople's gazes made her hair stand on end.

“Hehe, they must have never seen a great beauty like me before!”

Yun Qianqian laughed, clearly unconcerned.

Xu Yang and Xue Zhan also paid no mind; people's eyes were their own, after all, and you couldn't stop them from looking.

Subsequently, led by Xu Yang, the group went directly to a small hotel in the middle of Wutong Town.

Because Wutong Town had a sparse population and almost no tourists, the hotel here was very old-fashioned.

The hotel owner, a man in his fifties, was fanning himself on a chair and cracking melon seeds, seemingly quite content.

However, the moment he saw Xu Yang and the others, he stood up, frowned, and scrutinized them, saying pointedly, “Young men, how did you end up here? Are you lost?”

“If you don't know the way, I can help you with directions. I know how to get to all the surrounding villages, towns, and counties.”
