The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Dugu Yanyu hesitated for a moment and said, "This is just a guess, and I cannot confirm Zhao Mingzhang's exact identity in the Yellow Heaven Sect."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, continuing to examine the statue in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Something's wrong with this statue!"

Chu Xiu could not possibly be unaware of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

This was a rebellious force within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were not only the Yellow Heaven Sect, but also the Red Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect.

Three notorious rebel forces, the real troublemakers.

Each one is extremely difficult to deal with.

The leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect who governs a county is usually a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.

The leader of a prefecture is usually a Celestial Realm expert, and may have many subordinates at the Dharma Aspect Realm level.

The leader of a province is usually a Celestial Realm expert who has many subordinates at the Immortal Ascension Realm level.

Above the leader are protectors, elders, and other figures.

Both their foundation and their strength are incredibly formidable!

In fact, these three major rebellious forces were not unique to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

These three major rebellious forces existed before the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In times of chaos, these three major rebel forces would emerge and cause trouble.

Now, Chu Xiu felt that he might have underestimated the Yellow Heaven Sect!

"Something's wrong?"

Dugu Yanyu and the others were stunned for a moment. Although they felt that the statue was carved from high-quality jade, they did not find anything wrong with it.

"strength!"

"This statue contains a mysterious and unfathomable power, just like the Yellow Heaven Holy Venerable!"

"If I am not mistaken, this power should be the power of faith!"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.

The reason why Dugu Yanyu and the others could not see it was because they did not have the skill of observing qi.

However, Chu Xiu, who possessed the Qi Observation Technique awarded by the system, was able to discern that this statue contained a powerful force.

"The power of faith?"

Dugu Yanyu and the others' expressions changed drastically, and their faces showed shock.

They had naturally heard of the power of faith.

It is said that gods can obtain the power of faith from believers.

However, they did not know what the power of faith was or how it worked, nor had they ever seen it.

"It seems that the Huangtian Sect's rebellion is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"Their real purpose is to collect the power of faith."

"I just don't know whether this power of faith was collected for the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable or for the Yellow Heaven Sect Leader."

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yanyu and the others were stunned.

Murong Qingcheng's stunningly beautiful face showed surprise and doubt. She frowned slightly and said, "My lord, do you mean that the power of faith inside this statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable might have been collected by the leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect, and that he could use the power of faith condensed on the statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable to cultivate?"

Dugu Yanyu and the others frowned deeply, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

If the leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect can truly absorb the power of faith for cultivation, then just how terrifying is he?

Even they couldn't imagine this!

"You need not worry, this is just my guess."

"If it was collected by the leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect for his own cultivation, then it's nothing special."

"I'm afraid the faith power that the Yellow Heaven Sect leader has collected isn't what he wants..."

Chu Xiu said quietly.

"..."

Dugu Yanyu and the others immediately realized what was happening, and their faces showed shock.

The leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect is, after all, human, and humans are bound to have weaknesses, which can certainly be overcome.

but!

If this power of faith is not what the Yellow Heaven Sect Leader needs, then it is what the Yellow Heaven Holy Venerable needs!

This is a true god!

Chu Xiu exerted a slight force with his right hand, and an incomparably powerful force swept towards the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable statue in his hand, as if to crush the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable statue into dust.

Seeing this, Dugu Yanyu and the others focused their attention on the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable statue in Chu Xiu's hand, wanting to see what kind of divine power this Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable statue contained within its power of faith.

hum!

In that instant, the statue of the Yellow Heavenly Saint Venerable suddenly burst forth with an incomparably dazzling golden light, flew out of Chu Xiu's hand, and hovered in mid-air.

This golden light seemed capable of saving all living beings!

Dugu Yanyu and the others stared blankly.

"Hmph, you think you can play these little tricks on me?"

Chu Xiu snorted coldly and said with a chilling murderous aura.

An incomparably terrifying killing intent erupted from Chu Xiu, completely shattering the influence of the golden light!

Dugu Yanyu and the others finally came to their senses, and their eyes became filled with fear as they looked at the statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable. They had just been affected by the golden light. If Chu Xiu hadn't been there, would they have been completely converted by the statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable and become his followers?

"Interesting, really interesting..."

"I never imagined that the human race would produce such a prodigy as you after ten thousand years."

"I thought that the world ten thousand years from now would no longer be able to produce any truly extraordinary geniuses, and that martial arts would have completely withered away."

"It seems that I won't feel unfamiliar after my return!"

"Are you willing to join the Yellow Heaven Cult and serve me?"

"When I return, I will appoint you as the Dharma Protector of my Yellow Heaven Sect!"

At this moment, the statue of Huangtian Shengzun came to life completely, transforming into a deity eight feet tall, just like a true god, sacred and majestic.

Behind him appeared a huge halo, within which seemed to contain countless figures, and countless followers of the Yellow Heaven Sect were chanting scriptures with utmost devotion.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

"A mere statue with the strength of the Dharma Aspect Realm dares to bark like a dog before me!"

"I will kill you right now!"

A hint of disdain appeared on Chu Xiu's face. He clenched his right hand, and the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade appeared in his palm. He slashed down at Huangtian Shengzun with the blade.

This strike is none other than the intent of the Immortal-Slaying Blade!

With a single strike, it seemed as if Chu Xiu had cleaved the heavens and earth in two!

"You dare to kill a god?"

Huang Tian Shengzun frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face as he looked at Chu Xiu and said, "Although the faith power of this statue of mine is not much, it is not something that a mere human like you can threaten!"

Boom!

This strike landed!

The figure of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable shattered!

It has been transformed back into a palm-sized, lifelike statue.

However, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on this statue.

"No, how is that possible? How could a mere human like you possibly shatter my divine statue..."

An exasperated voice came from the statue.

then!

The entire statue was completely reduced to dust and vanished without a trace in the breeze.

"My Immortal-Slaying Blade Intent can even slay immortals, let alone these pretentious and wicked heretics!"

Chu Xiu put away the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade in his hand and said dismissively.
