Chapter 1127: Chapter 471: Blending In
Liang Yuan’s gaze fell on the departing figure, his eyes flickering slightly.
The short messenger said in a deep voice, "Let your people come up."
Huang Guangzu quickly nodded, "Yes."
Then Huang Guangzu had Liu Mountain and others bring all over a hundred people from the building upstairs.
Liang Yuan also stood in the crowd, watching with great interest as the Water God Sect’s short messenger began to preach.
"Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations, you have once again been favored by the Water God and have such an opportunity to listen to the Water God’s teachings."
"The Divine Being cleanses human arrogance with floods; only devout believers can be reborn from drowning."
"The ocean will eventually devour the land. Believers need to transform their bodies and awaken their superpowers to adapt to the Deep Sea Era."
"When all civilizations sink to the ocean floor, the Divine Being will restart the cycle of life."
...
As the short messenger continuously recited the Water God Sect’s scriptures, everyone below listened silently.
At first, many people were absent-minded, but as they listened, they became mesmerized.
Liang Yuan watched this scene from within the crowd, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Spiritual Power infection..."
He could keenly sense that the short messenger in front of him was using Spiritual Power to influence everyone present.
This way of using Spiritual Power was silent, akin to the seamless nourishment of things without leaving a trace.
It would soak into others’ hearts along with his words.
As if his language had a power that could enchant minds.
Liang Yuan’s Spiritual Power was too strong, so this multiple influence naturally wouldn’t affect him.
He was simply amazed that the other party actually preached in such a manner.
This was much simpler than winning over people’s hearts in Yangshan Shelter.
In recruiting the residents of Yangshan Shelter, not only did he have to implement a points system, but also set up schools and assign jobs.
Unlike this Water God Sect, which sent a Spirit Ability User to baptize everyone’s spirit and consciousness directly.
This was brainwashing.
Liang Yuan felt a sense of emotion and speechlessness.
He knew that although this method was fast, it was essentially just the old brainwashing trick.
At this time, the short messenger had entered the final stage of brainwashing.
The crowd below began to chant along.
"The land is dead, the tides are eternal—"
"Breathing is sin, only drowning is sanctity—"
Even Huang Guangzu, not far away, showed a hint of fanaticism, shouting loudly.
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly; although Huang Guangzu wasn’t a Spirit Ability User, being an Elemental Class superpower user, his main attribute was naturally Spiritual Power.
But even so, Huang Guangzu was affected by this short messenger.
What does this imply?
It indicates that the short messenger’s Spiritual Power strength was above Huang Guangzu’s!
Although Liang Yuan hadn’t tested Huang Guangzu’s Spiritual Power strength with Spiritual Ability Glasses.
He was confident that Huang Guangzu’s main attribute was definitely close to 50 Points.
For this short messenger to have stronger Spiritual Power than Huang Guangzu, there was only one possibility.
The short messenger is a Genetic Species expert!
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he let his Spiritual Power slowly expand, quickly enveloping the surroundings.
Instantly, an invisible layer of Spiritual Power isolated the short messenger’s influence.
The crowd, which had been in a fervor, suddenly felt a chill in their heads.
Their boiling emotions instantly cooled down.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Then they looked towards the short messenger in confusion.
Huang Guangzu’s expression also changed, and he looked angrily towards the short messenger.
He quickly understood what had happened just now.
He had been brainwashed!
His mind was shaken, filled with both shock and fear.
He subtly glanced at Liang Yuan.
He knew that Liang Yuan had intervened just now.
Otherwise, he would’ve been brainwashed as well.
The short messenger also sensed the unusual mood of the crowd.
He quickly raised his head to look at everyone, his pupils widening with shock and anger, "Who is it? Who is disrupting the ritual?"
Huang Guangzu immediately asked, "Messenger, what exactly is this ritual? What just happened?"
The short messenger didn’t look at him, his gaze sweeping rapidly over everyone present.
His eyes flickered, and suddenly, without saying a word, he turned and swiftly darted towards the window.
However, just as he reached the window, a voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
"Hehe, you’re quite decisive."
"What!"
The short messenger was aghast, whipping his head around.
Only to find that somehow, someone had already appeared behind him.
His shoulder was effortlessly grasped by that person.
A sharp pain instantly shot through his shoulder.
He exclaimed incredulously, "It’s you!"
Then he immediately shouted, "How dare you lay a hand on me?"
"I am a messenger of the Water God Sect, aren’t you afraid of the Water God Sect’s wrath?"
Liang Yuan chuckled softly, "Why bother asking?"
The face under the short messenger’s mask was ashen; indeed, it was a redundant question.
Since the other party had already acted, they naturally didn’t fear the Water God Sect.
He quickly looked at Huang Guangzu and shouted, "Huang Guangzu, aren’t you afraid of death either?"
Huang Guangzu swallowed, pretending not to hear.
Liang Yuan squeezed his hand lightly with a "crack" sound.
In an instant, the person’s shoulder was directly crushed.
"Ah—"
The short envoy let out a low, painful cry, and immediately grabbed a vial of potion with his other hand and squeezed it fiercely.
Bang!
The potion exploded violently, followed by a thick blue mist sweeping in.
However, Liang Yuan blew with his mouth open.
In an instant, a terrifying cold current swept through.
All the blue gas instantly liquefied, solidifying into frost.
And fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Ice Attribute Superpower User!"
The short envoy exclaimed in shock.
As he screamed, a powerful Spiritual Power surged towards Liang Yuan’s conscious sea.
However, Liang Yuan’s expression remained indifferent, even showing a slight sneer.
Just as the massive Spiritual Power flowed into Liang Yuan’s conscious sea,
The short envoy’s face drastically changed!
An immeasurable terrifying Spiritual Power swept towards him.
The short envoy didn’t even have time to react, and his Spiritual Power backfired. Suddenly, with a muffled sound, half of his head exploded with a thud.
Following that, his whole body immediately went limp.
Liang Yuan was slightly taken aback, frowning: "Even at the Genetic Species Level of a Spirit Ability User, he couldn’t withstand his own Spiritual Power backlash?"
Liang Yuan once again realized the fragility of superpower users who haven’t reached Perfection with 50 Points in their Main Attribute.
He hadn’t even retaliated much just now; the opponent completely died from his own Spiritual Power backlash.
Liang Yuan reached for the mask of the short envoy, saying: "Let me see what you really look like."
As the mask was removed, Liang Yuan’s pupils shrank.
Under the mask was the face of a young man, appearing in his twenties.
A number of scales were growing on his forehead.
Under the hood, behind his ears and beneath his cheeks, several gill-like organs were visible.
Liang Yuan frowned: "Didn’t this person awaken Spiritual Power? Why does he have a shape-shifting form similar to Zhang Peng’s [Merfolk]?"
He examined the gill-like organs carefully, suddenly noticing that they hadn’t naturally grown but had precise sutures around them.
"How could this be..."
A seemingly unbelievable guess floated in Liang Yuan’s mind.
Could this person have surgically transplanted a gill organ?
His face slightly darkened. If it were true as he suspected, it seemed the Water God Sect was guiding humanity towards a new path of evolution!
They were actively embracing the ocean, evolving into marine creatures?
"Mr. Liang, the tall envoy has returned!"
Suddenly, Liu Mountain rushed back, urgently shouting.
Huang Guangzu and the others came to their senses and looked anxiously at Liang Yuan.
"Mr. Liang, what should we do now?"
Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered slightly, quickly taking off the robe of the short envoy.
He saw that the person’s entire skin had a fish-scale-like keratin layer.
With no time for further observation, Liang Yuan put the robe on himself.
Then he placed the mask back on his face.
After finishing, he said to Huang Guangzu: "Hide the body. From now on, I am the envoy of the Water God Sect. Everyone, continue in the stance of listening as before. Quickly!"
Huang Guangzu, hearing this, also understood and quickly turned around, shouting: "Stand in position!"
He too hurriedly dragged the body and stuffed it into a room.
Then he swiftly returned to the front of the crowd, assuming a listening posture.
Liang Yuan stood in front of them.
He walked a few steps forward, and his previously tall figure gradually shrunk to the height of the short envoy.
Not only that, but even his voice changed slightly, more closely resembling the tone of the short envoy.
The Hundred-Change Gene once again demonstrated its wondrous ability.
At that moment, the tall envoy’s figure appeared in the corridor.
Liang Yuan began chanting at the right time.
"The land is dead, the tide is eternal—"
"Breathing is a sin, only drowning is holy—"
As Liang Yuan chanted, Huang Guangzu immediately followed loudly.
The others also joined in, shouting together.
"The land is dead, the tide is eternal—"
"Breathing is a sin, only drowning is holy—"
...
The tall envoy entered the hall, seeing this scene, he had no doubt.
He quickly approached Liang Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Is it over?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, making a sound of acknowledgment.
The tall envoy said: "There’s an order from above for us to quickly head to the Three Elements Building to gather intelligence on Spirit Jade Island. This time, we must find Spirit Jade Island."
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered again as he nodded: "Okay!"
At that moment, he followed the tall envoy and swiftly left the area.
Under the guidance of the tall envoy, Liang Yuan accompanied him to the outside of the Ring City World Trade Building.
A black and blue ship was moored on the water surface.
The ship bore a white surface with a three-fold spiral entwined reverse cross emblem.
The two boarded the ship, and the tall envoy pressed a button on the control panel, causing the ship to start and quickly depart from the Ring City World Trade.
Only then did the tall envoy speak: "Why didn’t you say anything?"
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered: "Say what?"
"Whenever you heard rumors of Spirit Jade Island in the past, you were always excited. Why so calm this time?"
Liang Yuan replied: "I just worry it might be false information again."
The tall envoy shook his head slightly: "This time is different. There’s a possibility that people from Spirit Jade Island have appeared at the Three Elements Building."
"Last month, we also received news of Spirit Jade Island near Qingling International. Although Qingling International and the Three Elements Building are far apart, the route indeed is from Guangfu to here."
"This route leads to Wuzhong District, and we released word that there might be floating lands in Wuzhong District. Perhaps this news has already been known by Spirit Jade Island’s people."
"They are very likely heading to verify the authenticity of this information."
"Heh, but they don’t know, this is merely our trap."
The tall envoy sneered: "This time, we’ll definitely capture those Spirit Jade Island bastards!"
