"Cha Yizhou?"
Everyone was taken aback when they saw that the newcomer was Cha Yizhou.
Cha Yizhou was accompanied by Jiang Zhou, as well as Wang Meng and Xu Yi, two Taoist disciples he had met before in the national competition.
"Is it you guys?" Lin Yuxi asked in surprise.
Cha Yizhou smiled faintly: "Hehe, gentlemen, you didn't expect to meet here, did you?"
Ah Guang exclaimed in astonishment, "So... you're in cahoots with that Li Mengyu?!"
"?"
“Damn,” said Nail, “I told you, I knew this big-eyed, handsome Taoist priest was no good! I disliked him the first time I saw him.”
"......"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Zhou said angrily, "We and our master risked our lives to save you!"
"Huh? You came to rescue us?" Nail was taken aback. "Then how did you get in?"
Xu Yi snorted unhappily and said, "Hmph, of course our master has his own way."
Tang Hongshan stood up and looked at Cha Yizhou: "So you can rescue us?"
"Not yet," Cha Yizhou said. "It's not the right time."
"Not the right time yet? What do you mean?" Tang Hongshan asked.
"One minute they say they're coming to rescue us, the next they say it's not the right time," said Nail. "Can you Taoists really be trusted?"
Cha Yizhou, with one hand behind his back, smiled again and said unhurriedly, "It seems that because of what happened when we first met, you still harbor some hostility towards me."
“Isn’t that obvious? You took advantage of Linnaeus back then!” Anan said seriously.
Tang Hongshan raised his hand, signaling them to be quiet, then looked at Cha Yizhou seriously and asked, "Why did you come to help us? There isn't much of a relationship between the Taoists and the Night Watchmen."
"Because it was Lord Carlos's arrangement," Cha Yizhou replied.
"Lord Carlos..." Lin Yuxi paused, then took a second to react: "You mean Lin Nai???"
Tang Hongshan frowned, looking at Cha Yizhou with a questioning and suspicious gaze.
“There’s no time for explanations now,” Cha Yizhou said. “The great battle is about to begin.”
"A major battle?"
"Lord Carlos will lead a million-strong army of undead, a hundred thousand-strong army of black angels, and a hundred thousand-strong army of demons to retake the human plane."
Everyone: "!!"
Old Zhang asked, "How did you know all this?"
Cha Yizhou still didn't answer, but instead took out a small pouch with a Taoist symbol printed on it and tossed it to Tang Hongshan.
Tang Hongshan took the bag and opened it.
Inside the bag were seven golden pills.
There were exactly seven of them.
"What is this?" Tang Hongshan asked.
Cha Yizhou said, "After taking this golden pill, you will be able to communicate with Lord Carlos mentally even without going through the system. Also, after taking the golden pill, you will gain the ability to control the power of the White Death God for a certain period of time."
Lin Yuxi and the others were shocked.
"Of course, this divine power is not given to you by the Golden Core. The Golden Core is not that magical," Cha Yizhou said. "This Golden Core only allows your bodies to withstand divine power for a certain period of time and gives you a channel to connect with Lord Carlos's will. At that time, you can receive the power that Lord Carlos transmits to you."
Tang Hongshan lowered his head and looked at the golden pill in the bag: "...So that's how it is."
"This golden pill has another function," Cha Yizhou said, "It can prevent you from being bewitched by the Black Lord's divine voice for a certain period of time."
"Remember, when you hear the broadcast in the prison, take the Golden Elixir, and I will have Jiang Zhou and the others come to meet you."
Tang Hongshan paused for a moment, then grabbed the bag and said, "Okay, I understand."
Just then, footsteps came from the other side of the corridor.
“Someone’s coming!” Anan said.
Everyone immediately tensed up.
Tang Hongshan quickly put the bag away.
Cha Yizhou, however, remained calm and showed no sign of panic.
A soldier walked in, looked around, and then menacingly asked Tang Hongshan and his group in the cell, "Who are you talking to?!" as if he hadn't even seen Cha Yizhou and the others.
Tang Hongshan and the others were stunned for a moment.
Lin Yuxi said timidly, "N-nothing, we were just chatting."
"Chatting?" The soldier looked around, and seeing that he couldn't see anyone, he said sternly, "Behave yourself, do you hear me?"
"Mmm-hmm!" The group nodded in agreement.
The soldier left.
"Well then, see you then." Cha Yizhou raised two fingers and murmured something to himself.
His figure gradually became transparent until it disappeared completely.
Jiang Zhou, Wang Meng, and Xu Yi also raised two fingers, their bodies gradually becoming transparent and disappearing.
A-Guang, Dingzi, Lao Zhang, and Yang Xiaochuan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Hey, Captain Tang, can we really trust that Taoist?" Nail-Finger picked at his ear. "Is this kid going to betray us like he did when we first met, using us as pawns?"
"Yeah," Old Zhang said, "Should we think about it again? And what if that guy has been brainwashed by Li Mengyu?"
Tang Hongshan pondered for a long time.
He took out the bag and looked at it again and again.
"There's nothing we can do." Tang Hongshan sighed heavily and said, "We don't have many options right now. Let's just take it one step at a time."
......
"This is the secret medicine that can awaken you to become apostles."
Lin Nai presented a secret medicine to Hua Lingze and the others: "After taking it, each of you can instantly awaken as an apostle and gain the ability to directly communicate with the will of the gods."
"Really?" Meng Feifei took the secret medicine. "We can become apostles too?"
Hua Lingze thought for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "Isn't becoming an apostle only possible for those chosen by the gods? This is the first time I've seen someone become an apostle through a secret elixir..."
“Oh, I’ve already helped you communicate with several deities and spirits who are suitable for you,” Linnaeus smiled. “They are all ‘happy’ to transfer their divine power to you.”
