My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 220 - 175: Something Extraordinary

Li Zheng took some effort, but successfully communicated with Anna here.

There weren't any major issues indeed.

Among the many people present, it seemed Anna was the only one who could speak, while the others were like mutes, mostly maintaining poker faces, looking as if they had no desires or needs.

In this situation, as long as the two don't have any explosive conflicts, of course no problems should arise.

And the final result... the intelligence of both sides was highly consistent, basically confirming the 'First Rider Position'.

Afterward, everyone set off together.

However, the two groups had some superficial harmony.

After all, they only shared the same goal, before the 'First Rider Position' came to disturb things, the Celestial Strategy Mansion and the Daisy Federation's Russian Orthodox Church weren't particularly harmonious, suddenly saying they could cooperate smoothly was definitely impossible.

"Saint..."

Shu Li followed behind Li Zheng, looked at the corpse-like object that Anna carried nearby, and suddenly muttered: "Panqiu, do you know what that is?"

Xia Panqiu pondered for a moment, then replied: "Just like you, I've never been stationed at the border... I've only heard that on the side of the Russian Orthodox Church, they would enshrine some believers who made outstanding contributions to the church, had virtuous morals, and possessed devout faith, allowing them to serve as Saints.

Even after these Saints die, they continue to be worshipped, and generally, believers also believe their sacred remains possess divine power, capable of creating miracles, and have protective and blessing effects.

After long-term development, these Saints and their descendants have reached a certain tacit understanding... Before Saints die, they would leave something behind, which might be the practice method of their signature techniques, it could be remnants of their Authority Ability, or in extreme cases, they would implant Ancient Objects into their bodies, forcibly sealing some unique abilities using their last lifeforce for descendants to inherit.

This is also a peculiar system of the Russian Orthodox Church... This corpse worship system wouldn't even be practiced by the originating churches, most other churches with canonized Saints don't leave anything after death, yet they maintain this custom, and only they practice it, so the related production process of the Saint's mummification has always been a mystery."

"Empowerers of the Chamomile Federation sheltered by a powerful corpse... I recall the records stating, in the old times, Celestial Strategy Mansion members used to refer to the Chamomile Federation's empowerers this way. But with the last batch of Saints nearly exhausted, the new era sees fewer newly canonized Saints, let alone those willing to sacrifice themselves to help future generations, so it's rarely called this way anymore."

"..."

Upon hearing, Shu Li thought about it carefully, then revealed an enlightened expression: "I think I've heard this saying too."

Then.

She glanced again at Anna carrying the corpse, and continued: "Doesn't that mean she's quite powerful? No wonder she's so arrogant."

"I don't know if she's powerful, but she must be very devout."

Xia Panqiu softly replied: "Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be allowed to carry the Saint's mummified body around."

Shu Li thought about one thing at a time, suddenly asked: "Then, how do you think she compares to Chen Lusi?"

"... The two don't belong to the same type of combat force, and we don't know this Anna, so there's completely no basis for comparison."

Xia Panqiu shook her head: "Besides, don't forget, Chen Lusi is still just bleeding, I even condensed Stone, but he hasn't, can I beat him? Not at all.

Not only me, even you... If he truly gets serious, you wouldn't be able to beat him."

"Nonsense."

Shu Li cutely rolled her eyes: "If he truly gets serious, not even Yan Kan would be his match, if you think he's powerful just say so."

Xia Panqiu: "..."

"So, where did he go anyway."

Shu Li noticed Xia Panqiu was silent, suddenly sighed, looked back behind them, and softly said: "Even though I know what Anna said makes sense, it still doesn't sit right, if Chen Lusi were here earlier, I'd have pushed him out long ago, to fiercely intimidate the other side.

What does 'we're here to die' mean, just because she's carrying a 'Saint' she's remarkable...

I don't know what Li Zheng is thinking, he actually didn't let Chen Lusi show up, such an existence should definitely be on the First Line to maximize his impact, surely he can't be tasked with support, right? Then he'd have really lost his mind."

"..."

Xia Panqiu didn't respond, although she also found it strange, she wasn't nearly as agitated as Shu Li.

Because she understands Chen Lusi.

Besides...

She slowly raised her snow-white chin, looked towards the suddenly darkening sky.

This unusual sky change, and Yu Zhou hasn't appeared yet... it's probably related to Chen Lusi?

Meanwhile.

Anna led her people, walking alongside but remaining distant, while Shu Li and Xia Panqiu conversed, she discreetly glanced at them, then likewise looked up at the sky.

If Xia Panqiu was merely speculating.

Then she was certain... this sky change is abnormal.

She gazed at the gloomy sky, vaguely guessing something.

... Celestial Strategy Mansion's Celestial Strategy?

It seems rather interesting, but not quite enough.

Anna thought, while looking at Li Zheng and the others, unable to resist shaking her head.

They are too overconfident, and her persuasion had no effect.

Not only ineffective, the girl with twin ponytails even felt unsatisfied.

Let's say... Pride breeds resentment.

She doesn't know Chen Lusi.

She only knows the 'Saint' doesn't have high hopes for them.

Just hope that in the end when facing the 'First Rider Position's' formidable firepower, they can accept it calmly, without directing anger at others.
