Chapter 874 - Lies

Doulao, the Siming who controlled Lies, was now right before Li Huowang. Li Huowang had summoned Doulao through the Sitting Oblivion Dao’s Heavenly Treasure of Deception.

Even though it was only an incarnation at this moment, the pressure it exerted was still immense.

Li Huowang felt his body continuously collapse as his consciousness faded. He looked up again and faced the yin-yang sea that covered the entire sky. “What are you waiting for?!”

The next moment, Li Huowang’s body completely melted as it turned into a pool of blood on the ground. A hand reached out from the side and retrieved a spine from the blood. Li Huowang took up the spine and raised it fearlessly above his head.

He was about to say something but stopped. He turned his head slowly to look at the distant army of Unspeakable and laughed arrogantly.

“Hahaha! Did you really think the Siming I summoned would attack me? I have fooled you!”

Li Huowang quickly twisted his head, instantly turning his face into Hong Zhong’s.

“Look at this! This is Doulao!! The Siming who controls lies! Our Sitting Oblivion Dao’s leader!

“Hahahaha! Come on! Aren’t you powerful? You’ve even defeated the Heavenly Mater? Then try this one!”

The army of Unspeakable remained motionless against Li Huowang’s words. They stood on the undulating ground like statues.

“Cowards!! A bunch of useless idiots!” Li Huowang stomped his feet and confidently charged at them under the gaze of Doulao.

Li Huowang was halfway through his charge before the army of Unspeakable finally moved.

Some slender female actors were lifted high by the older actors and placed on stilts. They began to reach up towards the cloud-like Doulao.

As they were about to make a significant move, the army of Unspeakable suddenly scattered. Their distorted faces became filled with suspicion, and they scrutinized their companions.

“Hmm?” When Li Huowang saw these entities starting to attack their own, he immediately realized that Doulao was taking action.

As the Siming of Lies, Doulao could make any group develop doubts about their companions in an instant.

However, to Li Huowang’s surprise, the army of Unspeakable seemed to realize there was a problem with themselves. They all raised their hands and began to feel their heads.

As they raised their hands, they pulled out the Lies from their minds.

However, for every Lie they pulled out, Doulao inserted a new one. They were forced to stand still to prevent their thoughts from being disturbed, continuously pulling out various lies from their heads.

During this time, Li Huowang reached the front of their army and began a killing spree with his blade.

The previously formidable army of Unspeakable now appeared as insignificant as chickens and dogs before Li Huowang.

As Li Huowang was about to finish off the remaining foes, they stopped pulling out Lies from their heads. Doulao had inexplicably ceased its actions.

Li Huowang observed the gazes around him and the scattered Lies on the ground, then felt a surge of inspiration. He waved the bloodstained spine sword and shouted, “Quickly end your own lives! Your lives are linked with the Heavenly Mater! Only if you die will the Heavenly Mater die! Your deaths are necessary for the sake of the Tianchen Kingdom!”

More False Qi surged into Li Huowang as the army of Unspeakable reached under their left armpits.

When they inserted their hands and squeezed, red and purple blood instantly exploded, which left them immobile and sprawled on the ground.

Since they had no Lies in their heart, they also lost the ability to discern if something was truthful. They would believe whatever others said to them.

The army of Unspeakable committed suicide one by one, and the area in front of Li Huowang gradually became filled with bodies.

As they were about to be completely tricked and killed by Li Huowang’s deceit, the surrounding illusion transformed into a forest once again.

The forest appeared and disappeared rapidly, bringing the slower members of the Unspeakable army back to the Tianchen Kingdom.

Li Huowang shifted his position and arrived at the edge of the forest. As the forest vanished, he saw a golden dragon appear vaguely in the white mist.

The forest quickly closed, and everything around him calmed back down.

A dragon? A real dragon? Not a fake dragon?

Li Huowang was astonished by what he had seen earlier.

Was there really a true dragon? What connection did it have with the Dragon Veins?

Now that he knew what the army of Unspeakable was, a thought crossed his mind—could the Tian Huang nobles be true dragons?

Li Huowang didn’t know the answer to this question. He took a while to come back to his senses.

He suddenly thought of his ally’s actions and looked up and cursed, “Doulao! You just—”

Li Huowang’s words abruptly stopped as the sky returned to its previous state. The chaotic sea of black and white had long since vanished without a trace.

“Damn it!” Li Huowang suppressed his anger and muttered under his breath.

Even though Doulao had assisted him during this crisis, Li Huowang was unsure if summoning it again would be helpful, considering its recent attitude just now.

“The Dao is selfless and virtuous. The compassionate Zhuge Yuan saves those in suffering!”

“The Dao is selfless and virtuous. The compassionate Zhuge Yuan saves those in suffering!”

“The Dao is selfless and virtuous. The compassionate Zhuge Yuan saves those in suffering!”

The excited shouting continued, and Li Huowang was jolted awake by the roaring cheers.

He looked up at the cheering people of the Great Qi. They shouted enthusiastically and bowed down in tears before him.

They didn’t know what had happened. They only knew that the Bodhisattva had manifested and defeated the external enemies.

He felt the False Qi flow into him and murmured, “I didn’t expect that these mortals would be the turning point in defeating the army of Unspeakable.”

At that moment, Chan Du, with half his face missing, came over with his hands joined in prayer. “Amitabha. Under the Buddha, all sentient beings are equal. Countless beings come and go in an endless cycle, constantly flowing through the six realms of existence. Mortals are not ordinary.”

Li Huowang frowned at him. “Do you know what I’m thinking? Do you just interrupt?”

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Chan Du chuckled, looking pleased as the enemies were driven back. “We call them the Heavenly Daos, but if there were no Mortal Daos, what would the Heavenly Daos be? Mortals are far from useless—they are the basis of all fate.

“Benefactor Li, as I said before, the Great Qi is yours. Whatever you want them to believe, they will believe.

“They were able to help you this time, and they can help you even more in other places—it’s not limited to the False Qi of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”
