Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1336: We Meet Again

”Leave the altar immediately!!”

Feeling the tremor underfoot, Fang Zheng also shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, even overpowering the cheers outside. Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s words, the White Miao soldiers who were wildly celebrating suddenly snapped back to reality. They didn’t know what was happening, but the White Miao Chief had already heard the situation from Fang Zheng and naturally gave the order immediately.

Although these White Miao soldiers were very brave, they didn’t have a protagonist aura, and the Water Monster was coming aggressively, leaving them would only get in the way. So, soon, the White Miao soldiers originally responsible for protecting the altar quickly evacuated, leaving only Zhao Ling’er, Lin Yueru, and Aya behind. After all, Aya was a millennium-old Butterfly Fairy who had become a spirit, and Lin Yueru’s abilities were also decent; together with Zhao Ling’er and the Witch Queen, there shouldn’t be any issue.

”Boom—————!!!”

Sure enough, a moment later, Fang Zheng saw the pond not far in front of the altar suddenly collapse, revealing a huge cavity, and then grotesque Demon Beasts flew out from it, rushing towards the altar.

Here they come!

Looking at these Demon Beasts in front of him, Fang Zheng’s gaze became slightly cold. One had to admit, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader truly had some cunning. If he hadn’t thought ahead, at this time perhaps others would still be immersed in happiness, unprepared for a surprise attack. But fortunately, they on this side were not weaklings and had made preparations early.

Because of this, the sudden appearance of these Demon Beasts had no effect at all, one could say it was all in vain.

”Witch Queen, leave these Demon Beasts to you.”

Fang Zheng stepped back two steps, not taking action immediately. He was waiting for the Water Monster; the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader was so sly, he must have wanted to use the Demon Beasts to test their strength here. If he saw Fang Zheng, he might have run away directly, so Fang Zheng planned not to take action for the time being but to wait for him to walk right into the trap.

”Alright, leave it to me.”

The Witch Queen also nodded, shielding Zhao Ling’er and the others, and fought with those Demon Beasts.

Ten years ago, when Fang Zheng took the Witch Queen away, he did not take the Celestial Serpent Staff. But when he returned to the White Miao Tribe with the Witch Queen ten years later, the Celestial Serpent Staff had somehow returned to the hands of the White Miao Tribe. With the Celestial Serpent Staff in hand, the Witch Queen immediately regained the prestige of a descendant of Nuwa, summoning wind and rain, making it almost impossible for those Demon Beasts to lift their heads.

However,...

Seeing Zhao Ling’er next to him fighting just as skillfully without taking the Celestial Serpent Staff, Fang Zheng was not so impressed with the Witch Queen’s skills. No matter how powerful you are, without the wand, you become weak like Dumbledore, not even as good as a chicken. Zhao Ling’er, on the other hand, had learned the spells of the Master of Shuiyue Palace, and combined them with the Shaping Type spells given to her by Fang Zheng, she turned out to be a bit stronger than her mother.

At least she wouldn’t turn into a weakling without the Celestial Serpent Staff.

Among the four, the Witch Queen was the strongest (holding the Celestial Serpent Staff), followed by Aya (being a millennium-old butterfly wasn’t for nothing), Zhao Ling’er was slightly more powerful compared to Lin Yueru. Of course, this was because Lin Yueru was after all from a Martial Arts Family, having great talent in martial arts techniques, but, after all, she hadn’t learned immortal techniques, so she was still a bit lacking.

Of course, without the Celestial Serpent Staff, the Witch Queen wouldn’t even be as strong as Lin Yueru.

Quickly, under the joint efforts of the four, most of the Demon Beasts that charged out were eliminated, leaving only a few resisting stubbornly. However, just then, suddenly, Fang Zheng saw the water in the pond begin to churn again, and then, defying gravity, it rose high, like a wall of water, or a tsunami! It crashed down head-on like this towards the Witch Queen and others!

”Careful, everyone, come to my side!!”

Seeing this, the Witch Queen was also shocked, quickly raising the Celestial Serpent Staff high. Soon, a barrier formed by wild winds appeared in front of the Witch Queen, blocking the rushing torrent.

”Hahaha......”

Like all bosses, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader also made his entrance at this moment. He stood valiantly on one of the Water Monster’s heads, slowly emerging from the water. Seeing the land around him covered by the flood, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader let out a proud laugh.

”I really didn’t expect you could actually gather the five Spiritual Pearls, but... it doesn’t mean anything! Now, the Five Spirit Pearls and the White Miao Tribe, they will all belong to me......”

As he spoke, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader glanced towards the altar, but when he saw Fang Zheng standing on the altar, watching him with a smirk, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader suddenly couldn’t continue.

”Belong to me......”

”What belongs to you, old man?”

With the Five Spirit Pearls in hand, Fang Zheng played with them while watching the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader leisurely. However, in his eyes, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader’s face was growing paler... even turning ashen.

”No, no way, how could you be here? You’re not dead?”

”Of course, I’m not dead, and there’s another person who’s not dead, here, look.”

As he said this, Fang Zheng jerked his chin to the side. The Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader turned his head to see the Witch Queen, holding the Celestial Serpent Staff and glaring at him fiercely from not far away, causing the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader further shock and dismay.

”How, how could you be... here?!”

”Why can’t I be here!”

Seeing the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader, the Witch Queen also raised the Celestial Serpent Staff in anger and pointed at him.

”You despicable villain, you murdered my husband and raised evil beasts, today I shall act on behalf of heaven to eliminate you!”

”You... you...”

At this moment, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader looked at the Witch Queen like he was seeing a ghost, utterly surprised. No wonder he was in such a panic since, in the timeline ten years ago, Fang Zheng, with insufficient time, and having burnt the core of the Water Monster, could only run off with the Witch Queen. When the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader returned, he only saw the Water Monster half-dead and on its last legs.

This naturally scared the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader a lot. He knew how formidable the Water Monster was more than anyone, even though the Water Monster had not fully matured at that time. However, the Water Monster would regenerate in water, and even being defeated several times, it should recover quickly. How could it be in such a state for so long, half-dead?

The Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader also thought of Fang Zheng, this mysterious young man who disrupted all his plans. Unexpectedly, now he had severely injured the Water Monster too!

Where was the young man? And where was the Witch Queen?

The Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader naturally cared a lot about their situation. After all, he had never thought the Water Monster would be beaten this way before! In the eyes of the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader, the mysterious young man must have escaped with the Witch Queen after defeating the Water Monster!

This made the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader unable to eat or sleep well for many days after, always anxious that the young man would find him with the Witch Queen. He even mobilized his subordinates to search the whole Miao Territory but unfortunately didn’t find any clues.

Afterwards, since neither Fang Zheng nor the Witch Queen appeared, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader also gradually relaxed. In his view, perhaps after a big fight, the Water Monster had eaten Fang Zheng and the Witch Queen, but the opponent’s final counterattack had caused such serious injuries to the Water Monster—he, of course, wouldn’t have thought, in fact, for Fang Zheng, meeting the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader again was only a few hours apart.

”You... very well...”

However, looking at the Water Monster under him, though the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader’s heart was trembling initially, he steadied it. He raised his head, and confidently looked at Fang Zheng.

”Perfect, there’s a road to heaven but you don’t take it, no door to hell, yet you come uninvited. Since you’re here, taste the power of the Water Monster!”

Saying this, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader also reached out and pressed the Water Monster’s head.

”Go, kill them!!”
