The leader was absolutely certain that he had not misheard the previous sentence; the guy opposite him truly wanted him to use the divine artifacts in the city center.
Therefore, not every use of a divine artifact could summon a god, but unexpectedly, some divine beasts or other strange things might appear.
No matter what, these were things that were quite difficult for them to handle, and they were guaranteed to throw a major city into chaos.
Even if it could always return to its original state in the end, the disturbances caused along the way would still occur, which would lead the legitimate organizations to pursue them relentlessly.
After all, to some extent, what they were doing was already a challenge to the authority of legitimate organizations, so as long as he wasn't completely muddled, this leader did not want to do such a thing.
To remind Qianshu Lian, the leader even spoke in a very serious tone, explaining the intricacies of the situation.
After understanding, Qianshu Lian also nodded. He didn't want to court such trouble when he didn't have enough power.
Moreover, there was no need to do it in such a densely populated area. After all, there was no reason to harm others for no cause, right?
Seeing Qianshu Lian convinced, the leader breathed a huge sigh of relief. If the other party hadn't been convinced and had truly forced him.
Then he would have no choice but to yield. After all, no matter what, he needed to save his own life. If there was truly no way to avoid such a thing, it was better to be cautious.
There was no need to sacrifice his precious life for these things. People who talked about righteousness would never come to their evil cult, okay?
However, whether this matter succeeded in summoning a god or failed, he would ultimately become like a drowned dog.
Even if he was forced, he couldn't escape this charge. He would be forced into a situation with no way out.
After all, he was already the leader of these cultists before he was coerced, so it was impossible to say that he had no motive for such an act.
He might even be considered the primary instigator. Although he didn't know the age and identity of the person in front of him, based on his observations, he shouldn't be very old.
A young person and the leader of an evil cult standing together—who was more likely to be the leader causing trouble?
This leader could come up with the answer without hesitation, and he also believed that almost everyone would believe this answer.
His identity was simply too suitable for taking the blame. Fortunately, Qianshu Lian was persuaded by him. This leader had already decided that after this matter was over, he would retire from the martial world, stay far away from here, and never meddle in such affairs again.
As for why not retire now? Of course, it was because that big shot was standing right in front of him.
Saying he was going to run away at this moment wasn't just openly putting his neck on the chopping block, was it?
Qianshu Lian had already agreed with the other party that they would just relocate immediately, and there was no need to cause any disturbance in such a densely populated area.
But unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The pile of divine artifacts, which had been completely still, suddenly began to glow as if a command had been triggered.
"I just want to know, what god exactly do you worship?"
Watching this scene, Qianshu Lian asked with a very serious expression.
"We only worship an unknown minor deity. I don't even know if it truly exists. It's just that we obtained some divine artifacts and then treated them as the divine artifacts of the god we worship."
The leader admitted somewhat awkwardly that he didn't actually know what god he worshipped, which immediately shocked the group of cultists behind him.
They trusted their leader, followed him in worshipping and praying to a god, and in the end, they didn't even know what god they were worshipping!?
"Actually, it's not just us; many small ones are like this—" The leader pointed at the pile of divine artifacts in front of him with a hesitant expression.
"After all, we are not proper, legitimate evil cults. Even the gods we worship are basically guessed at. We all started out by relying on luck."
This leader honestly explained his origin story. Simply put, it was about an energetic young man who traveled abroad, wanting to witness the reality of his chuunibyou.
However, he didn't expect that not only did his chuunibyou not completely vanish as he got older, but he actually came into contact with the mysteries related to gods.
Thus, the original chuunibyou youth immediately began to advance to a deeper level. All in all, this leader was also a quite fortunate young man in his youth.
No matter how dangerous the situation, he was always able to turn danger into safety and escape death, bringing out the divine artifacts currently in the organization from various ruins.
He even relied on his own luck to grasp some matters of the mysterious world, coming into contact with many people from the mysterious world without being exposed. They couldn't even see through the leader's true nature.
All of this indicated that the leader was indeed extraordinarily lucky in his youth. Unfortunately, this luck did not allow him to transform into a dragon.
Ultimately, this leader neither joined the official side nor truly managed to rise to prominence, merely becoming the leader of a fringe, small sect.
And it was the kind that was completely unrecognized. However, even so, it was already enough to bring about earth-shattering changes in this leader's life.
He no longer had to rush around like he did when he was young. His entire social class had risen by more than one level; he could already be considered an overnight millionaire.
No, he couldn't even be called an overnight millionaire, because he did have some real abilities, so even some county council members still treated this leader as an honored guest.
After all, not everyone could access legitimate national mysterious organizations, such as the True History Compilation Committee.
At this time, the lower-tier small sects, which were slightly inferior in both strength and prestige but still possessed relevant abilities, came in handy.
However, most people would still put up a recognized facade. In short, they would never show in front of others that they were an evil cult.
"I must have lost my mind, to still have the leisure to chat with you so much here!" After listening with great interest, Qianshu Lian suddenly realized why he was listening to so much nonsense here.
Turning around, he indeed saw that the divine artifacts, which had been glowing, were now floating, clearly intending to cause trouble.
