Chapter 205 The Chinese Deity Statues Lost Overseas!
With the Mythical Arena providing protection for a year, China no longer needs to worry about the US Congress joining forces with other countries to attack China.
Within this year, China only needs to do its utmost to improve its strength.
The United States and other countries are eyeing China with covetous intent!
If China does not make significant progress within this year, they will surely devour it completely after that year!
After returning, Su Fan continued his seclusion. If it weren't for the attack by the Four Nations Alliance, he would have already broken through to the fourth rank.
During his seclusion, Su Fan would also write the "Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror" in his spare time.
There are simply too many gods in China. Even with Su Fan's best efforts, he could only complete half of the remaining part of the Divine Treasure Mirror during his months of seclusion.
The weather is sunny and the sun is shining brightly!
The weather in Kyoto is exceptionally good today, and Su Fan is also facing an important moment.
He's about to break through to the next level!
Su Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, expanded his meridians, and frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy surged into his body like a tide, causing Su Fan's meridians to ache from the strain.
But Su Fan gritted his teeth and persevered. He could feel the power within his body constantly gathering, about to break through that shackle.
Under the powerful flow of spiritual energy, the meridians opened smoothly, just like defecating.
Su Fan has successfully entered the fourth tier!
A powerful aura emanated from Su Fan.
The powerful Chinese deities that Su Fan had contracted with appeared behind him.
Su Fan took a deep breath, withdrew his divine power, and the powerful aura slowly disappeared.
Then, Su Fan pushed open the door and went out; Yuan Qingsheng was outside.
Yuan Qingsheng was Su Fan's protector. To prevent anyone from disturbing Su Fan and affecting his breakthrough, he always stood guard outside the door.
Yuan Qingsheng congratulated Su Fan with a beaming smile: "Young friend Su, congratulations on successfully breaking through to the fourth rank."
Su Fan smiled and said, "I have to thank Elder Yuan for your hard work in keeping watch outside."
Yuan Qingsheng said, "Well, I was originally arranged by Elder Mo to be your protector. Protecting you is only the right thing to do."
Su Fan smiled helplessly.
"Now that I've successfully broken through to the fourth rank, I finally have time to complete this Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror."
Su Fan said.
Yuan Qingsheng's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Young friend Su, according to the part of the Chinese Divine Mirror you gave me before, many people in China have already awakened the gods and made contracts with them based on this mirror."
Upon hearing this, Su Fan smiled.
"That's great! I wrote a little more while I was in seclusion. Elder Yuan, please give this to Elder Mo. I will continue to finish the rest of the Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror."
As he spoke, Su Fan took out the Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror, which he had written during his seclusion, from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Qingsheng.
Yuan Qingsheng happily accepted it and nodded to Su Fan.
Yuan Qingsheng left, handing the Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror to Elder Mo, while Su Fan continued writing the rest of the Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror in his secluded cultivation place.
Days passed by one by one.
One day, Su Fan was focused on writing the Chinese Divine Treasure Mirror when the restrictions in his secluded cultivation place suddenly trembled slightly.
Su Fan frowned, stopped what he was doing, and began to use his spiritual energy to sense the outside world.
"Young friend Su, Elder Mo sent me to fetch you."
It was Yuan Qingsheng's voice.
Su Fan opened the barrier and asked in confusion, "Elder Yuan, what does Elder Mo want with me?"
Yuan Qingsheng's expression was somewhat solemn: "Old Mo said he has an urgent matter to discuss with you, which seems to be related to the Chinese deity statues that have been scattered overseas."
Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately followed Yuan Qingsheng to the depths of the Forbidden City.
Soon, Su Fan followed Yuan Qingsheng to Old Master Mo's office.
Old Mo was looking at the documents on the table with a serious expression. When Su Fan entered, he stood up and said:
"Su Fan, as you know, many statues of Chinese deities have ended up overseas. Recently, we received news that the United States, in conjunction with other countries, is using overseas Chinese to try and awaken the divine power within these Chinese statues, intending to use overseas Chinese to fight against us."
Su Fan asked疑惑地问道, "Do they know the real names of those god statues?"
Yuan Qingsheng smiled wryly: "I don't know which deity's ruins they got their hands on a divine treasure book, which contains the true names of some Chinese deities."
Upon hearing this, Su Fan's expression darkened: "Would those overseas Chinese cooperate with the United States?"
Yuan Qingsheng nodded calmly: "Yes, most of those overseas Chinese grew up overseas and have no sense of belonging to China."
"Once they are misled by the United States, they choose to cooperate with them for their own benefit."
Old Mo continued, "Moreover, they have already begun to act, and some of their divine power has been awakened."
Upon hearing this, Su Fan's expression became even more serious.
"They are so vicious. Those statues are scattered overseas, and we cannot immediately make contracts with them. If they are all awakened and used by them, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us."
"Moreover, it will greatly reduce the number of gods that we Chinese can contract with."
Mr. Mo nodded.
"That's right, so I want you to lead a team abroad to try and reclaim or buy back those powerful statues of Chinese gods."
"As for those lower-level statues of Chinese deities, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Our primary objective this time is to retrieve the powerful statue of the Chinese deity."
Old Mo then said to Su Fan with an apologetic look in his eyes:
"In China, only you can determine the strength of the gods, so only you are capable of this task."
Old Mo felt truly sorry for Su Fan.
Countless people abroad want Su Fan dead, yet he still sends Su Fan abroad—it's like throwing a lamb to the slaughter!
But there's nothing we can do; there are just too many statues of Chinese deities that have been lost overseas from China.
If these powerful statues of Chinese deities are not retrieved, China will face an even greater crisis in the future.
Therefore, the only option is to let Su Fan take the risk.
Besides, who says going abroad is necessarily dangerous?
There's an old saying that goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
No one abroad would have expected that Su Fan would dare to go to China at a time like this.
Mo Lao also arranged for Ma Tao to be Su Fan's protector.
The country Su Fan is going to this time is not far from China; it's in South Korea.
The United States, in conjunction with other countries, has concentrated most of the Chinese deity statues that were previously displayed overseas within South Korea.
So that they could wait a year before going, so that overseas Chinese could attack China.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Fan firmly stated, "Elder Mo, I'm willing to go. For the sake of China, this little danger is nothing."
Old Mo nodded with satisfaction: "With your sense of responsibility, China is fortunate. The country will fully support you; there is plenty of money. Just focus on buying the powerful statue of the Chinese deity."
"Also, this time I'm having Old Ma go with you."
Su Fan nodded upon hearing this.
"No problem, this time, we will definitely bring back the statues of Chinese deities that have been lost overseas!"
Upon hearing this, Old Mo nodded with a serious expression:
"Su Fan, I believe in you! But most importantly, you must ensure your own safety. On the premise of ensuring your own safety, bring back as many powerful statues of Chinese gods as possible."
Su Fan nodded.
With time running out and in order to prevent more statues of Chinese deities scattered overseas from being contracted, Su Fan and Ma Tao quickly set off.
Before heading to South Korea, Su Fan used his Seventy-Two Transformations to change his and Ma Tao's appearances.
Basically, as long as Su Fan isn't beaten so badly by others that he can't maintain his seventy-two transformations, their appearances won't revert back.
Furthermore, unless the foreign divine beings possess supernatural abilities like Su Fan's Fiery Eyes of Truth, no one will be able to recognize them.
Su Fan also doesn't plan to start a live stream this time.
After transporting those Chinese deity statues that had been scattered overseas back to China, Su Fan will start a live stream to authenticate the Chinese deities.
Because of the blockade imposed by the United States, flights from China to other countries have been suspended, and the seas have been surrounded by the American fleet.
Therefore, Su Fan and Ma Tao had no choice but to walk through Korea and then arrive in South Korea.
It was a bit troublesome, but after two or three days of traveling, Su Fan and Ma Tao finally arrived in South Korea and reached Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
At this time, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, was under heavy security, and a large number of Chinese shamans from various countries had gathered there.
Seoul today is practically a paradise for overseas Chinese.
Here, they can freely purchase statues of Chinese deities collected from various countries.
Furthermore, after purchasing the statue of a Chinese deity, they also have the opportunity to obtain the true name of the statue, directly awaken the statue, and enter into a contract.
Of course, the prerequisite for purchasing these statues of Chinese deities is that they must join the overseas Chinese army organized by the United States and help attack China a year later.
Even so, Seoul was still flooded with overseas Chinese from various countries, and there were even some God-Keepers who secretly came from China.
Su Fan and Ma Tao disguised themselves and infiltrated Seoul. They arrived at Seoul's busiest trading street and were filled with anger as they watched the lively trading scene.
These are all statues of Chinese deities!
It is a treasure of China!
Now these treasures of China are being casually placed on the ground and traded like commodities.
Su Fan coldly watched those people who were happily making transactions.
Sooner or later, Seoul will be razed to the ground!
Su Fan and Ma Tao suppressed their anger and walked along, secretly searching for the locations of the powerful god statues, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Just then, in an open area not far from Su Fan, a Chinese Divine Master excitedly opened his eyes and shouted:
"I have formed a contract with the A-rank Chinese deity, the City God!"
Upon hearing this, the overseas Chinese surrounding him cast envious glances at him.
Then, they all left, hurrying off to find the powerful statue of the Chinese deity.
These kinds of opportunities are rare these days, and it's uncertain how many more days they will last.
Upon hearing this, Su Fan also looked up.
Around the Chinese shrine attendant, there were South Korean troops guarding him.
Upon seeing that the Chinese sage had successfully completed the contract, an officer stepped forward from the army and handed the sage a specially designed identity card.
Su Fan and Ma Tao exchanged a glance, both with serious expressions, and left.
As Su Fan walked side by side with Ma Tao, he lowered his voice and asked Ma Tao:
"Old Ma, have you sensed the strength of those armies?"
Ma Tao nodded with a serious expression:
"The lowest level of troops is at least fourth rank, and that officer is even fifth rank. Moreover, there are countless such troops in Hancheng..."
As Ma Tao spoke, he looked solemnly at the small patrolling army around him.
Upon hearing this, Su Fan's heart sank.
It seems that South Korea has summoned its most powerful army of God-Slayers to Seoul.
Moreover, there are armies from other countries, and there are also ninth-tier Divine Masters in Seoul...
It seems that obtaining the statue of a Chinese deity is easy, but bringing it back to China is not so easy.
Su Fan was somewhat worried.
However, the current goal is to find those powerful statues of Chinese deities as soon as possible, and not let them fall into the hands of overseas Chinese.
However, after this round of searching, Su Fan did not find any powerful Chinese deity statues of S-rank or higher.
Occasionally, I would see some, which were only A-grade statues of Chinese deities.
It's not particularly powerful, but it's acceptable.
So Su Fan bought them anyway.
After walking around for a while, Su Fan said, "It seems that the higher-level statues of Chinese deities haven't ended up in this trading street. Old Ma, let's look elsewhere."
Ma Tao asked, "This trading street is the largest place in Seoul for buying and selling statues of Chinese deities. Where else can you find them?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fan was at a loss.
Just as Su Fan and Ma Tao were worrying, Su Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.
He whispered to Ma Tao, "Mr. Ma, I think those powerful statues of Chinese deities must have been traded among the upper echelons of overseas Chinese society."
"We can disguise ourselves as noble overseas Chinese deities, infiltrate their trading circles, and look for opportunities to get close to those powerful divine statues."
Ma Tao's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.
Su Fan continued, "To infiltrate their ranks, we first need to make contact with some of them."
So, Su Fan and Ma Tao began looking for suitable targets on the trading street.
Soon, Su Fan and Ma Tao spotted a Chinese deity, dressed in noble attire and surrounded by bodyguards, looking around with apparent dissatisfaction with some low-ranking deity statues.
Su Fan stepped forward to speak, but was stopped by the man's bodyguard.
The bodyguard looked at Su Fan warily: "Who are you people, and what do you want?"
Su Fan remained calm and smiled slightly:
"Sir, I noticed you seem rather dissatisfied with these statues of Chinese deities, and I'm quite dissatisfied with them as well."
"I'm new to Seoul and not familiar with this place. I wonder if you, sir, have any way to obtain a good statue of a Chinese deity? The reward is negotiable."
Upon hearing Su Fan's words, the noble Chinese guardian spirit's eyes flashed with interest, and he gestured for his bodyguards to step aside.
He looked Su Fan and Ma Tao up and down.
Judging from the fact that Su Fan and Ma Tao, who appeared to be Su Fan's servant, were both well-dressed and had a refined demeanor, they must be people of his social class.
With the intention of making friends, the person nodded.
He extended his hand and said, "My name is Lin Yu, and I am a Chinese from Greece."
Su Fan reached out and shook his hand, introducing himself in fluent and beautiful English:
"My name is Jia Ren, and I am a Chinese from the United States."
