539 Heavenly God Palace

He reached out and knocked on the little girl’s forehead.

“Since you said so, it seems I have to kill you today to avoid trouble in the future.”

The little girl was instantly frightened.

She struggled and said, “Don’t! I, I was joking with you!”

“As long as you let me go, I promise that no one will come to find you!”

Naturally, Lin Qiye would not kill her to silence her.

He had guessed the people of the Heavenly God Palace had already set their eyes on him. He wouldn’t do anything to the little girl after knowing her background.

However, she seemed to know a lot of information. Lin Qiye would not miss this opportunity to find out more.

“I can let you go, but you must answer my question first, or…”

The little girl nodded repeatedly at Lin Qiye’s threatening words.

“I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything! Go ahead!”

On the surface, she seemed full of desire to live, but Lin Qiye noticed that her hands had begun to make small movements behind her back.

Lin Qiye did not expose her but was secretly on guard.

“First, tell me your name.”

“I’m Wan Meng.”

As Wan Meng answered Lin Qiye’s question, her hands never stopped moving.

“Wan Meng, you should know how many experts your Heavenly God Palace has. Tell me the details.”

Lin Qiye repeated her name and continued to ask.

“I don’t know about that. Much of our information is confidential, and only the elders have the authority to access everyone’s information.”

Lin Qiye could tell that this answer was half-true and half-false.

However, he did not pay much attention to it because Wan Meng’s little tricks behind her back had attracted his attention.

“Alright!”

Wan Meng couldn’t help but laugh.

After a series of hand movements behind her back, her body split open. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a stream of light and broke free from Lin Qiye’s control.

“Big demon, goodbye… Ah!”

Wan Meng transformed into countless streams of light and soared into the sky. As she ran, she didn’t forget to mock Lin Qiye.

Unfortunately, just as she rushed to the sky above the temple, she didn’t have time to be happy for long before she hit her head on an invisible barrier. She felt pain on the spot and fell back into the courtyard.

Countless streams of light once again condensed into Wan Meng’s appearance.

She fell to the ground, holding her head in pain.

Lin Qiye had appeared in front of her out of nowhere. He looked at her with a faint smile, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. I was so close to letting you escape just now.”

“Don’t, don’t come over!”

Wan Meng’s eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

What she had just used was a powerful escape technique.

Even if the strongest Earth Immortal came, they couldn’t stop her with all their strength.

Could this guy, who looked like he was only in the Incarnation Realm, be as powerful as a Celestial?

Of course, it was not the case.

Wan Meng’s secret escape technique was called Ten Thousand Threads. It was a type of escape technique that allowed one to disintegrate instantly and transform into tens of thousands of clones.

As long as a wisp could escape, she would be able to protect herself without any harm.

Under normal circumstances, even a top-tier Earth Immortal couldn’t stop thousands of incarnations at the same time.

However, Lin Qiye was different. It was his home ground, especially since he was inside the core of the City God Temple.

With the help of the formation, it was no exaggeration to say that his control over this space was not weaker than that of a Celestial.

Of course, it was only limited to this space. In terms of strength, he couldn’t even defeat an Earth Immortal.

“It seems that your identity is not ordinary.”

Lin Qiye walked over to Wan Meng and squatted down. He carefully observed her and noticed something unusual.

Perhaps it was because she had used that secret technique, but there were still many small cracks on Wan Meng’s body.

However, no blood seeped out from the cracks, only a faint strange fluctuation.

It was somewhat similar to soul power, yet not the same.

“You’re not human?”

Lin Qiye’s words made Wan Meng’s heart skip a beat.

Lin Qiye immediately confirmed his suspicion the moment she avoided eye contact.

“No wonder I didn’t sense any life aura from you.”

“An inanimate object with the power of a Human Immortal? You’re a puppet? No, the spiritual consciousness in your body is too strong. From the looks of it, you should be a divine weapon! Right! Only the spiritual consciousness born from a divine artifact can be comparable to a real soul!”

Wan Meng watched as Lin Qiye analyzed the situation. The more she listened, the more shocked she became.

Her background had been seen through clearly. The fate that awaited her would probably be as miserable as the rumors said.

She was indeed a divine weapon that had developed spiritual consciousness.

After the Great War, the number of divine weapons that had developed spiritual consciousness could be counted on one’s fingers.

She was born relatively late and was currently the last divine weapon in the world that possessed spiritual consciousness.

Before her, a few divine weapons had gained sentience, but all of them had ended up in a miserable state.

After they were exposed, they were all snatched by the evil things in the prophecy. In the end, their bodies were annihilated, and their spiritual consciousness was nowhere to be found.

To protect her, the Heavenly God Palace had created a physical body to avoid being discovered by evil spirits.

However, she did not expect she would be seen through by this ‘great demon’ today.

A good life had just begun. Was it going to end here?

She recalled what the big shots of the Heavenly God Palace had told her about the divine weapons being tortured.

Wan Meng was in despair. When she looked at Lin Qiye, the fear in her eyes gradually turned into anger.

“Great demon! Don’t even think about cracking open my head and torturing me! I’m going to take you down with me!”

Wan Meng was afraid of death but was even more afraid of being tortured.

However, she didn’t know that the big shots of the Heavenly God Palace had fabricated the story of the divine weapons being cruelly tortured to scare her and prevent her from running around outside.

However, no one would have thought Lin Qiye would bear the consequences of their actions.

Lin Qiye shuddered when he saw that Wan Meng had suddenly taken a stance and was about to self-destruct. He hurriedly activated the array’s energy and tried to reduce her power.

“F*ck! Are you crazy? What did I do to you? Do you have to risk your life?”

The self-destruction of a divine weapon was enough to kill an Immortal Realm expert.

Even though Lin Qiye had set up many defensive measures and was operating with all his might, the violent energy in Wan Meng’s body was starting to show signs of becoming uncontrollable.

Buzzzzzz!

A surge of energy broke through Lin Qiye’s blockade and hit the courtyard wall.

In an instant, the runic-reinforced wall was reduced to dust.

The powerful energy impact was reduced by the formation, but the fluctuation full of violent aura spread throughout the Tata Village.

Chang Shi and the others were alarmed. The Black Dragon that was digging the dragon pit was also frightened.

“What’s going on? Did someone break into the Lord’s residence?”

“Quickly go and take a look!”

Chang Shi, Butcher, Black Dragon, and the others quickly rushed to the backyard of the City God Temple.

They all knew Lin Qiye was in a critical period of merging with his physical body. If a powerful enemy appeared, there was a high chance that something would happen.

Buzzzzzz!

Another energy wave swept over.

The impact was even stronger than the previous.

Areas such as the main hall were isolated by arrays and did not suffer any damage, but the backyard suffered heavy losses.

The elixirs Lin Qiye had personally cultivated were destroyed, and even the cores of some formations had cracks.

“F*ck! This is a big loss!”

Lin Qiye’s face scrunched up in pain.

He didn’t know what he had done to force that little girl to self-destruct without even being reasonable.

Before he could think further, the third wave of energy attack had arrived.

“Go to hell!”

Wan Meng’s body crumbled inch by inch. With her remaining consciousness, she tried her best to drag Lin Qiye down with her.

He had walked so many times and experienced so many lives.

Lin Qiye had never felt so aggrieved, and his anger was ignited.

“Can’t you think of something other than death, you little brat!”
