Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...

Chapter 169 I dare to swear, do you?

Damn it!

"How dare he harm the Qilin God? He must be killed!"

"Yes, we can't let him get away with this, we have to torture him to death!"

The people below the stage spoke with righteous indignation, some even standing up in anger, rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight.

Zhou, the richest man sitting in the first row, glanced at the Qilin Divine Envoy with a strange look. What was this guy up to? Why was he completely different from what he said at the beginning?

Seeing that he had fooled the people, the Qilin Divine Envoy on the stage sighed with lingering fear and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

Then, he turned to Xu Jinhuan and scolded, "You evil spirit, quickly reveal your true form! Men, tie him up!"

Xu Jinhuan sneered, "I am a demon? Then let me see what your true god looks like!"

Without waiting for the Qilin envoy to react, she quickly walked behind the screen, kicked it, and the screen fell to the ground, revealing what was behind it.

"This...this is the Qilin God?"

"Don't take advantage of my honesty, it's just a big wooden sculpture!"

"Wasn't it supposed to be the true form of the Qilin God? How come it's turned into a giant wooden sculpture?"

After looking at what was behind the screen, the usually faithful believers were a little confused. They had just been kneeling and worshipping a wooden carving.

The Qilin Divine Envoy was surprised that Xu Jinhuan was so bold as to kick over the Qilin God's screen, exposing the wooden carving to everyone.

He anxiously wiped the cold sweat from his face, and after his eyes darted around, he finally came up with a new idea.

Therefore, the Qilin Divine Envoy looked at the large wooden sculpture with a pained expression and shouted loudly, "Lord Qilin, it is my fault for not protecting you well, and that this evil spirit has hurt you again."

After shouting that, he suddenly pointed at Xu Jinhuan.

"You audacious demon! You have actually caused the Great Qilin God to be injured to this extent, forcing him to return to heaven to recuperate. If I do not kill you today, how can I live up to the Great Qilin God's trust!"

The words of the Qilin God Envoy could be considered an explanation for why the perfectly good Qilin God had turned into a wooden sculpture. The believers quickly believed his explanation and immediately glared angrily at Xu Jinhuan on the stage.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Avenge the Qilin God!"

Xu Jinhuan sneered, "If I, a mere 'demon,' can injure your powerful Qilin God so deeply, then even immortals are nothing special. It's better to believe in demons."

The believers, who had just been filled with righteous indignation, fell silent for a moment after hearing Xu Jinhuan's words.

They blinked, and after thinking about it carefully, they actually felt that what the demon said seemed to make a tiny bit of sense.

"You know what, this demon is indeed more powerful than the Qilin God."

"That's right. I used to think the Qilin God was really powerful, but now that I see it, it can't even withstand a demon. How can it then fulfill our wishes?"

"I wonder if this offering to evil spirits will even work..."

The Qilin Divine Envoy on the stage never expected that the predicament he had painstakingly devised would be broken by that young master Xu with just a few words, and that it would even give his originally loyal believers other ulterior motives.

This is truly a case of losing both wife and army!

Sitting in the audience, Zhou, the richest man, glanced disdainfully at the Qilin Divine Envoy on the stage. He thought to himself, "The people my master sent down really have poor judgment. How could they have chosen someone like this as the divine envoy?"

He was internally complaining as he stood up from his seat and said loudly.

"Please calm down, everyone. The Qilin God has always been compassionate. The reason he was injured must be that he was protecting everyone from harm during his battle with the demons, which is why the demons took advantage of his weakness."

After saying that, Zhou, the richest man, glanced at Xu Jinhuan on the stage and continued.

"Besides, what good things could someone who has been called a demon since ancient times have? Maybe he was able to cultivate so powerfully because he persecuted tens of thousands of suffering people."

If you actually believe the demon's lies and choose to worship him, one day your whole family might be eaten by him. Please think carefully.

Zhou, the richest man in China, changed everyone's mind in an instant with just a few words.

“Zhou, the richest man, is right. How come I didn’t think of that? What if my wish doesn’t come true and I get eaten by evil spirits instead? Then I’ll have nowhere to cry.”

"Yes, I was even thinking of making offerings to it to see what would happen, but thankfully it was just a thought."

"Kill the evil spirits and restore peace to Tongqiao County!"

The Qilin Divine Envoy smiled gratefully at Zhou, the richest man, and was about to press his advantage and execute the evil spirit on the spot when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the outermost edge of the open space.

Excuse me, excuse me!

"Pull your arms and legs in tighter, it would be bad if you bumped into something."

"Who are you people? Why are you cutting in line? We waited in line for an hour to get a spot."

"Oh my goodness, you're really daring to walk into the line of fire! Didn't you see that guy at the front? That's the infamous Third Master Lin!"

The group, who had been making a ruckus, immediately shut up upon hearing the name of Master Lin and said nothing more.

The Qilin Divine Envoy on the stage frowned as he looked at Master Lin and the burly thugs standing behind him.

But given the current situation, it was clear that he couldn't afford to break ties with Master Lin. So he smiled and said, "Guests from afar are always welcome. Please invite Master Lin to take a seat."

But Master Lin did not sit down. Instead, he said with a half-smile, "I am not here today to wait for the Qilin God to bestow blessings."

Upon hearing this, the Qilin Divine Envoy frowned slightly. Then he noticed the tray that Third Master Lin was holding, and the contents of the tray were covered with a red cloth.

"Could it be that you've come to deliver a gift?"

Besides this idea, the Qilin Divine Envoy couldn't think of anything else, so he asked aloud.

While shaking his head with a smile, Third Master Lin gently removed the red cloth, and what was under the red cloth was quickly revealed.

It turned out to be a golden statue of a god.

The Qilin Divine Envoy frowned even more deeply and rebuked him angrily.

"Third Brother Lin, I'm only calling you Third Master Lin out of respect. You're incredibly audacious to bring other deity statues to the front of the Qilin God!"

Without fear, Master Lin said, "Today, I had a dream in which the local earth god of Tongqiao County appeared to me. I learned that someone has created a false god and is plotting to harm the people of Tongqiao."

Although I, Lin Laosan, am not a good person, I will not allow outsiders to bully us Tongqiao people.

"Qilin Divine Envoy, I swear to Heaven that the statue in my hand is a true god. If what I just said was a lie, may I be struck by lightning! Do you dare swear on your false god?"

Master Lin's words were like a huge stone thrown into a stream, creating a huge splash.
