Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 17 Here I come!
Lu Chen had already realized that Master Tan was at his last gasp.

In this state, it is almost impossible to achieve success and seek good fortune.

If he really loses.

The Sun family will undoubtedly be driven to a dead end.

Just like the guy next door said before.

Looking across the entire Jiang Province, Tan Kun is already the best bounty hunter for blessing and longevity that can be found on the market.

If he fails.

So, who else could take on this task?

……

"An opportunity! This is absolutely a golden opportunity!"

"Lu Chen, let's see if you dare to gamble?"

At this moment, Lu Chen's blood was pumping with surging emotions.

He originally just came to watch the excitement and maybe learn something along the way.

Little did they know that as they watched the spectacle unfold, things started to get increasingly strange.

The dignified immortal with a 47% lifespan increase in divine power actually stumbled.

Moreover, looking at his current abandoned state, he looks exactly like a stray dog.

For a moment, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨: the initiative was completely in the hands of the gods, and the spirits were no different from meat on a chopping board, or to put it more extremely, like a domesticated pet.

The master is pleased and will give you two bites.

If I'm unhappy, I won't even bother with you.

"My relationship with my brother is still more perfect; it's mutually beneficial and we share what we have."

Lu Chen pondered to himself.

"No rush, I'll wait a bit longer. Even if we really have to gamble, we need to be sure that Tan Kun will lose before we take any action!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and continued to look at the situation inside the hall.

Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Longevity.

Sun Qingcang then added an extra 20 million.

Tan Kun's face showed a hint of emotion. After pondering for a moment, he sighed and said, "For the sake of Patriarch Sun, I... will give it another try!"

The Sun family members beamed with excitement: "Thank you, Master! We believe you will achieve great success!"

Tan Kun nodded: "Patriarch Sun, please step down."

"it is good!"

The Sun family stepped back.

Tan Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead, stretched a bit, and then lit another stick of incense.

He began chanting "Heavenly spirits, Earthly spirits..."

"Qingcang!"

Mrs. Song gripped her husband's arm with a worried expression.

Sun Qingcang patted his wife and forced a smile: "It's alright, trust Master Tan."

Despite saying that, Sun Qingcang had no confidence at all.

A voice inside him told him that if it were truly possible, given Tan Kun's divine abilities, he should have succeeded long ago.

"Dad, look!!"

Just then, a shout came from behind, and Sun Xingwen, the second young master of the Sun family, suddenly pointed.

Everyone looked intently.

Suddenly, the incense in Tan Kun's hand emitted a burst of brilliant light.

There were also obvious fluctuations of magical power in the surrounding area.

"It's done?!"

The Sun family was overjoyed.

Outside the hall, countless pilgrims witnessed this scene.

A sudden exclamation erupted.

"Wow, it worked! We made contact!"

"It seems the 20 million reward really worked!"

"I knew Master Tan couldn't possibly lose. If he can't even communicate with the Divine Servant, that would be ridiculous!"

"Yes, regardless of whether or not blessings are bestowed, communicating with the God of Longevity is the bare minimum."

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Chen's heart sank.

"It seems we underestimated the power of a 47% increase in Divine Power."

Since Tan Kun was able to communicate with him, Lu Chen believed that the probability of the other party successfully seeking blessings was at least 70%.

What a disappointment...

At this moment, Tan Kun, who was inside the hall, finally showed an indescribable joy on his face.

"Finally, we succeeded! Such powerful magical energy fluctuations! With Lord Shou's blessing, this matter will surely succeed!"

The splendor inside the palace grew ever more magnificent.

At this moment, everyone was present, whether it was Tan Kun, the Sun family, or the worshippers.

They all craned their necks, unable to hide their surprise and anticipation.

Everyone eagerly awaited the birthday celebrant's arrival. Just when everyone thought good things were about to happen and great success was imminent!

suddenly!

Without warning.

Amidst the splendor, a spark suddenly appeared, and in the next second, like a tiny fire, the entire hall's splendor was instantly ignited, as if a wad of cotton had been flung into flame.

Tan Kun's eyes widened suddenly.

The flames suddenly condensed into a fireball, which slammed into Tan Kun's chest with a loud bang.

"puff!"

Tan Kun immediately coughed up blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

This happened too fast, too suddenly.

Before anyone could react, Tan Kun had already crashed heavily at the entrance of the main hall, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

His breath was extremely weak!

"Grandmaster!"

Sun Qingcang's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he flashed in front of Tan Kun in an instant.

The Sun family members were all pale-faced.

……

And outside the palace.

The worshippers were completely silent until, after a moment, they were ignited like a dormant volcano erupting.

"A backlash from praying for blessings?!"

"My God! This, how is this possible!"

"They actually suffered a backlash! It's over! The old master of the Sun family is completely finished now!"

……

However, when Tan Kun saw Sun Qingcang, he acted as if he had seen a ghost.

He frantically backed away.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"Master, are you alright?"

"None of your business. I'm not taking this task! Find someone else! I'm not taking it! I'm not taking it!!"

Tan Kun staggered to his feet, rambling incoherently, and then ran outside like a madman.

All the people saw was that his whole body looked like it had been burned by fire, and he was no longer the master he used to be. He was in a terrible state.

"Get out of my way!"

Tan Kun pushed through the crowd and ran wildly, disappearing from the Longevity Hall in no time.

……

"It's over, it's completely over now!"

Inside the hall, Sun Qingcang felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.

"dad!"

"master!"

Fortunately, the Sun family members behind him reacted quickly and caught him.

That's how you avoid falling.

"Dad, please pull yourself together."

Sun Yourong supported her father, her eyes also filled with tears.

Tan Kun's departure not only means they will never find a better bounty hunter.

More importantly, the backlash from previous prayers has already sent out the most desperate signal.

His grandfather was destined not to receive the blessings of the birthday celebrant.

Zhao Zhihong hurriedly said, "Quickly, help President Sun sit down."

The group helped Sun Qingcang to a chair.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Qingcang slapped his legs hard, tears streaming down his face: "Father, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

The Sun family members all looked distressed and began to weep, covering their faces.
This sight moved many worshippers outside the hall.

It can only be said that in the face of life and death, all beings are truly equal.

"Hey handsome, where are you going? You're leaving already?"

Just then, the pilgrims who had been there earlier were somewhat surprised to see Lu Chen suddenly run away without looking back.

The show had only just begun, why is it over already?

Little did they know that Lu Chen was at that moment searching for the ancestral tablet.

"The shrine map shouldn't only be in the temple hall; it should also be in the main hall. Where is it?"

After scanning the area, Lu Chen actually found it.

He ran forward quickly and looked for the two deities, Magu and Yanzhi Ming, on the altar.

As for the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, forget about it.

It's impossible for a temple in a prefecture-level city like Jiangdu to enshrine deities of the caliber of the Six Emperors.

Even in Qianjiang City, the capital of Jiangxi Province!

They are still not worthy of worshipping the Three Pure Ones and the Six Emperors!
