Chapter 640: Shinto Leader
"Chief?" Plum Blossom 8 fell into thought.
"What? This is also a secret that cannot be told?" Chen Ling said helplessly, "Then your Fu Sheng Hui has too many secrets.
"The chief doesn't have any secrets... or rather, his existence itself is a secret. Even we, the halls, know very little about him..."
"Isn't he your boss? ”
“Yes, he is the boss, but I have never seen him. Even in the second hall, which has lived in abstract paintings for more than a hundred years, I have never seen him in person... He seems to stay behind the relief door all the time, and I don’t know what he is doing
“You mean, the chief has lived for more than a hundred years?” Chen Ling said in surprise, “He must have died of old age, right?”
“Impossible” Meihua 8 shook his head firmly, “The chief is the leader of Qingshen Dao. If he dies, the leader’s luck in the dark will change, and all the owners of Qingshen Dao can feel it... But since I can remember, the position of the leader of Qingshen Dao has never changed
“Shendao leader…”
When Chen Ling was in Aurora City, he came into contact with the term “leader”, but what he knew at that time was the leader of [Judgment], that is, the top law enforcement officer of the seventh level, Gu Yuan. Although Gu Yuan also has the title of “leader”, he is only the “leader” of the [Judgment] path, and the “Shendao leader” mentioned by Meihua 8 is different.
If the "Shinto" is compared to mountain climbing, the "path" is the path you walk on when climbing. There are many paths for climbing, some are wide roads, and some are empty paths... and the path leader is the person who walks the farthest on each path. Gu Yuan, as the leader of [Judgment], is undoubtedly powerful, because there are many people on the [Judgment] path, and he can walk at the forefront of this path, and is the strongest person in [Judgment].
Some paths have very few people climbing them, and there may be only two or three people in the world who have set foot on this path, and the leader of this path may just have walked a little farther. As for the path that only one person has set foot on, like Tan Xin, from the moment he sets foot on it, no matter how low his rank is, he is the leader.
The Shinto leader is the person who walks at the front of all the people who walk on this Shinto, regardless of the path... that is, the "leader" among the "leaders".
There can only be one "Shinto leader" on a Shinto; what he represents is the peak of this Shinto in the corresponding era.
"Then how strong is this chief?"
"I don't know... but in the early years, there was a saying circulating in the nine realms. It is said that a leader of the Divine Way predicted that after the 'Silver King' of the Fire Usurper of the Divine Way, the next ninth-level demigod would be born from the Green Divine Way. Plum 8 paused for a moment, "So, we can guess that... the chief has already stepped half a foot into the demigod realm.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.
Apart from the master who was suspected to be ninth-level but never took action. The only ninth-level demigod that Chen Ling had come into contact with was Aurora Lord, one of the Nine Lords... and according to Plum 8, there are actually ninth-level demigods from the Divine Way in the world, such as the "Silver King" believed in by the Fire Usurper. The whereabouts of these demigods are extremely secretive, and it is rare to hear about them.
And the Green Divine Way is still in a state without a ninth-level demigod.
After Plum 8 said this, Chen Ling became more interested in this chief hall, but before he could ask anything else, Plum 8's face suddenly changed!
The features of Plum Blossom 8 twisted, and deep sorrow and despair emerged on his face. His eyes, which had been slightly bright when he was talking to Chen Ling just now, instantly turned ashen... He curled up on the bed, and the whole bed was creaking.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ling frowned and stood up immediately.
"They... are coming..." Plum Blossom 8 spoke hoarsely.
They?
Chen Ling seemed to have thought of something, turned back to the window, and pulled open the curtain with cartoon butterflies.
In the nothingness outside the window, a huge figure with black flames burning all over his body was running westward like crazy. Even though his figure and features were extremely abstract, Chen Ling could still feel her fear!
There was also an "arrow" and the mark of Plum Blossom 8 on the back of her neck, but now this "arrow" seemed to be out of control and spinning rapidly.
"Is it the character in the painting?" A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.
The emotions of the characters in the painting can affect them, which Chen Ling has experienced personally... But he doesn't understand why Plum Blossom 8's reaction is so strong when the woman on fire is still some distance away from them?
Before, Chen Ling could only feel the emotions when he first got close to the character, but now Chen Ling really didn't feel anything at all.
"You... can't feel it?" Plum Blossom 8 asked while holding back the pain.
"She is so far away, and it also has an effect? I can't feel it. Chen Ling asked back, "Can you feel it?"
Plum Blossom 8 was stunned.
While the two were talking, the woman with flames all over her body was wailing and running towards the house quickly. Under her huge body, Plum Blossom 8's house was like a building block that could be kicked to pieces, fragile and tiny.
Plum Blossom 8 didn't have time to discuss the issue of emotions with Chen Ling. As the woman approached, his expression became more and more painful and distorted, and his body seemed to be really on fire, burning hot.
"Something is wrong! The painting suddenly became chaotic... According to their previous trajectory, they would not pass through here! "Meihua 8 breathed heavily, barely maintaining his sanity, and turned to Chen Ling and shouted:
"Let's get out of here!"
In fact, Chen Ling had already taken action before Meihua 8 could speak.
He carried the curled up Plum Blossom 8 on his shoulder and rushed out of the house. He was wearing a bright red costume and stepped on the cloud step. Just as he ran away, the huge shadow roared and collided with the house!
The moment he brushed past the woman, a strong sense of fear and despair surged into Chen Ling's heart, and his expression became ferocious unconsciously.
The Plum Blossom 8 on his shoulder rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
Boom--! !
The seemingly solid house was like paper in front of the woman. It was instantly smashed into pieces of oil paint and dissipated into nothingness. The burning woman did not stop, but rushed forward like an arrow.
Seeing this, Chen Ling's ferocious facial features gradually returned to normal and he breathed a sigh of relief...
But the next moment, the burning woman suddenly braked, and her abstract eyes turned 180 degrees to lock Chen Ling again. After making a big turn in the void, she rushed towards him again!
Chen Ling: ? ? ?
"What's going on?!" The sudden change made Chen Ling confused. He could only run away quickly with his Cloud Steps.
At the same time, he glanced at the unconscious Plum Blossom 8 on his shoulder, gritted his teeth, and slapped him twice!
"Wake up! Something seems to be wrong!"
