Divine King of Honour-Chapter 548: Yan Sha’s Promise (Extra Fourteen)
Xu Nian looked at the Luotian Pope beside him with a surprised face.
He had never expected the situation to be like this.
If the beggar-like figure before him was really the previous generation's Luotian Pope, then the state of the Luotian Pope was simply too miserable.
At this moment, the Luotian Pope was also extremely agitated, her eyes becoming moist.
Then she rushed forward.
Xu Nian hurriedly tried to hold her back.
However, he was shaken off by the Luotian Pope.
"Master!"
The Luotian Pope hurried over.
But just as the Luotian Pope was about to reach the prisoner,
The prisoner suddenly looked up and struck the Luotian Pope in the abdomen with a palm.
The Luotian Pope was instantly sent flying backward.
Xu Nian quickly caught the Luotian Pope.
At this moment, the Luotian Pope had a trickle of fresh blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
But she did not care about her own injuries and stared at the prisoner in front of her, pleadingly asking, "Master, it's Shasha, don't you recognize me?"
"Roar!"
However, a fierce roar was the response she received as the prisoner flailed wildly, as if intending to devour the Luotian Pope.
Xu Nian frowned at this scene.
In that instant, he saw that the pupils of the prisoner before him were white.
She had obviously gone mad.
"Is she really your Master?" Xu Nian asked incredulously.
"I am certain, she is my Master. I have been an orphan since childhood, following her from the age of six. She raised me as her own. In my heart, she is like my mother. So, no matter how she changes, I would recognize her," the Luotian Pope said excitedly.
Xu Nian nodded upon hearing this.
It seemed that the prisoner was indeed the previous Luotian Pope.
But Xu Nian was somewhat puzzled as to how the previous Luotian Pope could have ended up in such a state.
The Luotian Pope also seemed out of sorts, clearly not expecting her own Master to have become a madwoman.
Seeing her Master in this state, she felt a surge of pain in her heart.
"Wentian Demon Sovereign, can you make sense of this?" Xu Nian asked in confusion, turning to Wentian Demon Sovereign for help.
Wentian Demon Sovereign had just consumed the Demon Snake's soul and was in the process of digesting it, thus he hadn't been paying attention to the outside.
Now, hearing Xu Nian's inquiry, he released his soul power to investigate.
"This is a kind of sacrifice. It must be carried out with a powerful life. Once the sacrifice is successful, a powerful evil spirit will be summoned. The evil spirit will descend upon her body, seizing her flesh. Of course, another situation may also occur—if the owner's will is too strong and the evil spirit does not completely devour the sacrificial victim, this sort of stalemate would occur," said Wentian Demon Sovereign.
"Sacrifice? Evil spirit? So are you saying that the previous Luotian Pope is currently battling an evil spirit, which is why she seems insane?" Xu Nian asked, astonished.
"Yes, but such resistance is generally futile. Your woman has clearly been holding on for ten years, and she's close to the end of her rope. Once the last bit of her soul is devoured, she will completely turn into an evil being," Wentian Demon Sovereign continued.
Xu Nian's brows furrowed tightly.
He hadn't expected the situation to be so severe.
And it was evident that the Luotian Pope had a deep bond with the previous Pope.
If she hadn't witnessed it, it might have been better, but to see her own Master transformed into an evil entity with her own eyes...
She might not be able to accept it and completely collapse.
This gave Xu Nian a headache.
Although he had only a fleeting association with the Luotian Pope, they had been through two life-and-death experiences together.
He didn't want her will to collapse here.
Besides, she was the one he had brought in, so he had to ensure her safe exit.
"Is there any way to save her?" Xu Nian continued to ask.
The only option was to seek the help of the Wentian Demon Sovereign. With his knowledge, there had to be a way.
"It's difficult to save her. First of all, the fact that she has managed to hold on for ten years is quite rare; her soul has become very weak. Meanwhile, the Evil Spirit has become stronger over those ten years, so she could become demonized at any moment. If we must talk about saving her, the only way is to enter her Mud Ball Palace and help her destroy the Evil Spirit. But even so, her soul is so weak that she might not live much longer," replied the Wentian Demon Sovereign.
Xu Nian frowned upon hearing this.
Enter the Mud Ball Palace, defeat the Evil Spirit?
And still not be certain of reviving the former Pope?
This immediately caused Xu Nian a headache.
After thinking it over, Xu Nian decided to tell the Luotian Pope everything.
"I must save my master; I'll enter her Mud Ball Palace right away."
As expected, upon hearing Xu Nian's words, the Luotian Pope stood up and declared.
"I should be the one to go. Even the Soul Power of your Master couldn't defeat that Evil Spirit; you would only be going to your death," Xu Nian said, holding back the Luotian Pope.
"But your Soul Power is weaker than mine; wouldn't you be going to your death as well? Besides, this is my Master; you don't need to take this risk for me," the Luotian Pope directly refused.
Xu Nian shook his head, "No, since I'm the one who brought you here, I naturally can't let you get hurt. Moreover, if you were to fail, I would still have to face death if the Evil Spirit took control of your Master's body. Also, I have soul-related protective artifacts that have a restraining effect on Evil Spirits. I stand a better chance if I go."
"But..."
The Luotian Pope still hesitated.
Xu Nian simply waved his hand, sat down on the ground, and commanded, "You will be my protector."
Seeing the determined look on Xu Nian's face, the Luotian Pope finally nodded firmly and said to Xu Nian, "If you can save my Master, I'll do anything you ask of me; my life is yours."

Xu Nian was shaken, and sinister images surfaced in his mind.
However, he quickly suppressed them and couldn't help but give the Luotian Pope a white look.
At this time, she was still a distraction.
Then, Xu Nian closed his eyes and began to gather the Spiritual Sense Power.
In fact, Xu Nian's offer to volunteer wasn't because he was very confident.
When it came to dealing with the Evil Spirit, Xu Nian really had no confidence at all.
In truth, he was gambling.
The protection of the Heavenly Gang Pearl was ultimately limited.
What Xu Nian could only hope for was the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
The Light Characters that had merged into his soul couldn't possibly be useless.
Perhaps this confrontation with the Evil Spirit would uncover some functions of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
Then Xu Nian stopped pondering and calmly controlled his Soul Power, rushing towards the brow of the former Pope.
"Om!"
Xu Nian's Spiritual Sense Power turned into a golden light and shot directly into the brow of the former Pope.
Watching this scene, the Luotian Pope also began to pray silently, "Xu Nian, you must succeed. My Master has been like a mother to me, and I absolutely cannot watch her die like this. If you truly can succeed, I, Yan Sha, will definitely keep my word!"
