Creation of the Universe

For a time, the crowd was outraged and the noise was overwhelming.

What Shen Yunli and the others could not accept was that the Manshen Cult was clearly a group of hypocritical villains, and the current tragic situation in the town was caused by them.

But the people unconditionally supported Man Shen and directly pointed all the blame at Shen Zhan and others.

Even if he explained now, these people would not listen. Only Erhu had just heard the red-shirted boy admit with his own mouth that all the strange things in the town were caused by their tricks.

But what if a person knows the truth?

His influence was minimal and was not enough to make everyone in the town realize the truth. Now Shen Zhan and his friends were in a dilemma.

The red-shirted youth looked at Shen Zhan proudly and said, "So what? You trapped me? I don't even need to exert any effort to get out of here. They will seek justice for me!

Now I look like a complete victim, don't I?

Will you give in, or will you make an enemy of the whole town?"

Shen Zhan's face was solemn. The current situation was something he had not expected. Just as the young man in red said, their existence had become a threat to the people. If they continued to act forcefully, they would inevitably become enemies with everyone.

If it comes to that, then he will have completely fallen into the trap of the red-shirted boy.

Meng Zhong was surrounded by a large group of people. These people picked up stones and threw them at him without any hesitation. Although he had spiritual power to protect his body, these stones could not hurt Meng Zhong at all, but Meng Zhong was in a dilemma about what to do next.

Because of the people in between, Meng Zhong couldn't continue to attack those damn disciples of the Manshen Sect. Now he was in a situation where he couldn't advance or retreat, and he had to be careful not to accidentally hurt anyone of them, otherwise the situation would become even more out of control.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked around, and suddenly his figure moved and disappeared out of thin air.

Shen Yunli's ears were filled with a voice, "Don't worry, Li'er. I will go find the restriction. Once it is broken, the current situation will naturally be resolved. When I leave, Shen Zhan will handle this. If he can't even handle this, then he is not worthy of being your brother."

After saying this, Zhu Xiuyuan disappeared without a trace.

Han Fei and the Chu sisters were left helpless. They were waiting for Shen Zhan to respond, as only Shen Zhan could think of a way to resolve the situation.

The red-shirted boy's laughter became even louder and harsher, making people unable to help but get angry, but they couldn't do anything to him, which was really frustrating.

After some thought, Shen Zhan waved his hand to remove the sword energy that trapped the red-shirted boy. Seeing this, the latter thought that he was helpless and finally made concessions.

"Well, that's the smart thing to do!"

"Everyone, listen carefully. These outsiders do not abide by the town's rules, nor do they want to serve Lord Manshen. They are all stubborn and pathetic people, but we cannot abandon them easily. Instead, we must help them achieve redemption.

Now, on behalf of Lord Manshen, I am willing to give them a chance to repent. From now until tomorrow morning, they must go to the town's statue of Lord Manshen and kneel down to show their devotion. Otherwise, they will be doomed and will bring disaster upon everyone in the town, causing them to suffer terrible misfortune once again!

The young man in red shirt was about to leave proudly after saying this, but Shen Zhan stopped him from behind.

"What's your name?"

Shen Zhan suddenly asked.

"I am the messenger of Lord Manshen, you should call me Lord."

"You're a human being, so you should have a name. In my eyes, you're no different than anyone else. The reason I asked for your name is because I don't want to defeat a nameless person. That would be too boring."

Shen Zhan's words made the red-shirted boy furious, but he tried hard to suppress his anger and replied before leaving: "Su Ming!"

"Remember this name well. Thinking about it in the future will be a nightmare."

Su Ming said with a solemn oath.

After the disciples of the Manshen Sect left, the townspeople still surrounded Shen Zhan and his group relentlessly. Some threatened them with words, some tried to persuade them with kind words, and some were full of hostility and almost ready to attack.

Their reactions were different, but their purpose was the same: they believed that the arrival of these strange faces had brought unimaginable disasters to the town.

Only by making these people disappear from the town can they continue to live. Although they still face the threat of death every day, at least there are still many people in the town who can bet that they will not be the next one.

"Everyone, listen to me. They are good people. They saved my life!"

Erhu tried hard to explain himself, but he was soon met with hostility from the townspeople.

"Shut up right there! You're the evildoer! Why did you anger the messenger of God? You should go serve Lord Manshen, and then our town will be much more peaceful!"

"That's right. Our children have all gone, but you chose to stay. This is unfair. Why don't we escort him there and appease the anger of the adults?"

People have fallen into a vortex of hatred and fear. Everyone is full of resentment and soon finds an object to vent their anger on.

Erhu was shocked and quickly said that he had an elderly mother at home who needed to be supported and there was really nothing he could do. However, such an innocent attitude would not be forgiven by people.

Shen Zhan said to Meng Zhong, "Kick these people out first. We still have important things to do."

After receiving the order, Meng Zhong opened his arms and drove these noisy and extreme people out of the inn, leaving them alone to discuss the next countermeasures.

"That Su Ming wants us to surrender by tomorrow morning, but that's of course impossible. So we have to use this time to break the ban. This is the most crucial issue."

Shen Yunli said: "My master has already gone to look for it, but I don't know if he can find it. Why don't we all look for it together? I hope we can find it faster."

"Is there a statue of Manshin in town?"

Shen Zhan thought about it and asked Erhu.

"Yes, there is indeed a statue, but we don't know when it was erected. It seems to have appeared out of thin air overnight, and then it stares at everyone in the town day and night with its eyes that look like a living person!"

When Erhu talked about the statue, his eyes were full of fear.

Shen Zhan laughed and said, "Take us over to have a look. I'm curious about what kind of statue this is. Is it as divine as you say?"

Han Fei, Meng Zhong and the others immediately thought that the restriction hidden in the town might be on the statue, so they rushed to urge Erhu to take them there without delay.
