Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 445 - 316: Four of the Tai Sui Division

"Greetings to the three of you."

The leader looked at Sun Yan and smiled with cupped fists.

"How could you come here from the Grand Sacrificial Society?"

Zhou Mangmang brandished both whips, asking warily.

Although Tomb Guardians belong to the same group, gathering around the core of the Grand Sacrificial Society,

there are varied members, and some morally corrupt individuals have become Tomb Guardians.

This has negatively impacted the reputation of the Tomb Guardian community.

Therefore, maintaining necessary vigilance when encountering unfamiliar Tomb Guardians is very important.

"There’s no need to be nervous, we mean no harm. We just want to ask why you are in such a hurry to leave the Grand Sacrificial Society. Is there some hidden reason?"

"If you could share the secret, we’d be willing to exchange some treasures for the information."

"We’re all members of the Grand Sacrificial Society. We fought together last time in the South Pacific, so there’s no reason to hide secrets from each other, right?"

Although the four newcomers spoke amicably, their stances clearly blocked Sun Yan’s group’s path.

Their muscles were tense, ready to strike lethally at any moment.

Zhou Mangmang scowled and said coldly, "What secret? I know nothing of it. But you, following others to their graveyards, this is taboo within the Grand Sacrificial Society. You’re veterans there; you should know this rule."

"Friends, there’s no need to show such hostility. The matter of Divine Enthronement is of great importance. We four are merely resorting to a Lower Strategy. As far as I know, there are 365 positions for Divine Enthronement. Even if three of you each get one, there’d still be some left for us, right? Why act so distant?"

"Forget it. Why say so much? Let’s just take this person’s notebook and see if there are any new tasks in it."

Another person licked their lips, speaking ruthlessly.

Zhou Mangmang’s brow furrowed. A notebook is the most crucial item for a Tomb Guardian.

If the notebook is taken, a Tomb Guardian can’t exist without it unless they die.

To speak so arrogantly means an unyielding conflict.

"Courting death."

Zhou Mangmang, naturally fiery, charged first, swinging his whips towards the Tomb Guardian who had threatened to take his notebook.

"Bring it on."

The person snorted disdainfully, instantly producing a wooden plaque from their hand, inscribed with "Night Patrol."

With a wave of the plaque, it seemed as if time was reversing; Zhou Mangmang’s whip slowed just as it was about to hit its target.

Suddenly, Zhou Mangmang’s body started retreating, returning to its original place.

"What?"

Zhou Mangmang was shocked, finding the situation unbelievable.

What happened?

"Heh, I advise you three to keep the peace. Though our Tomb Guardian abilities in magical combat aren’t strong, you can’t hurt us in a duel."

Another person also pulled out a plaque, inscribed with "Day Patrol."

Sun Yan’s eyes narrowed, instantly recognizing their origins.

Night and Day Wanderer!

Among the 365 True Gods of the God-Sealing List, there are eight divisions, with the Tai Sui Division governing time.

Among them, the Day Traveling God and Night Wanderer govern the time of day and night.

The strange event on Zhou Mangmang just now clearly resulted from these two Tomb Guardians using their Tomb Guardian abilities.

They made the time on the scene reverse.

Even if Zhou Mangmang had great power, he couldn’t do anything against these guys.

"We, the Four of the Tai Sui Division, don’t wish to become enemies with you. We came to your graveyard today because we had no choice. The opportunity of Divine Enthronement is too important, and the spots are limited. We hope you can share the secret you discovered to form some goodwill."

The leader raised his left hand, revealing a bell-like object that could be shaken by hand.

"Soul-Dropping Bell, your Tomb Guardian is the Ruler of Annual Deity Tai Sui!"

Lin Wan immediately recognized the person’s origin; the Ruler of Annual Deity Tai Sui is the leader of the Tai Sui Division, with a status equivalent to the Nine Heavens Responding Thunder God Universal Transformation Celestial Venerable of the Thunder Division, the Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Monarch of the Fire Division, Emperor Haotian of the Plague Division, the Venerable of the North Star Purple Qi Permanently Seated in the Kan Palace of the Combat Division, and the Golden Dragon Auspicious True Monarch of the Treasury Division...

This definitely means the intentions aren’t friendly!

"That’s right; will you comply now?" the man asked with a casual smile.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yan, who had been silent, suddenly waved his hands, producing a Golden Bow and Silver Arrows from nowhere.

He drew the bow and shot, a silver bullet aimed directly at the opponents.

In his own territory, how could he allow others to come in and coerce him?

Since these people even used magical artifacts, they wouldn’t let Sun Yan’s group live after obtaining the answer.

Taking the notebook to view the God-Enshrinement Task is surely what they planned to do.

Thus, anything related to the God-Enshrinement Task must not be revealed, nor could these people leave alive.

"What audacity!"

Seeing Sun Yan launch a surprise attack, the Four of the Tai Sui Division erupted in fury.

No longer acting, they immediately attacked Sun Yan’s group.

Since the situation had already escalated, there was no need for polite negotiation.

"Kill them! Once we seize the notebook, any secrets about the God-Enshrinement will be clear."

After Sun Yan acted first, the Four of the Tai Sui Division stopped feigning courtesy, revealing their magical artifacts and launching a concerted attack.

Facing those who controlled the Power of Time, Sun Yan dared not slack off, quickly retreating.

Though these people used their Tomb Guardian abilities to reverse time, such power surely wasn’t omnipotent.

Sun Yan intended to test the precise scope of their abilities, then devise a countermeasure.

The silver bullet, in flight toward the enemy, slowed and finally froze in place.

Signs of reversal appeared.

The Night Wanderer-associated Tomb Guardian sneered, "Trying to escape? You’re smart to quickly realize my ability has limits, but can you get away? Reverse!"

At that moment, the entire graveyard’s time seemed to reverse. Sun Yan’s backward retreat gradually stopped, and he moved closer to the Four of the Tai Sui Division.

"How could this be?" Sun Yan frowned.

Though the Four of the Tai Sui Division hadn’t fully demonstrated their magical combat prowess, their ability to control time was potent enough.

This unreasonable power was the most troublesome opponent Sun Yan had ever faced.

"You’ve been deceived."

Suddenly, Sun Yan heard the voice of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao.

"Even the true Night Wanderer can’t reverse time. This person is just bluffing, making you believe he can control time. Relax, and you’ll see the truth."

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao said calmly.

Despite his confusion, Sun Yan chose to trust the True Monarch unconditionally.

As he calmed down, his Celestial Eye at his brow opened.

He immediately saw that his body had been standing still all along, but his soul had already left and was moving toward the Night Wanderer.

There was no time reversal at all; his soul had been misled.

"So that’s it, how strange!"

Sun Yan suddenly understood; the Night Wanderer’s ability actually influenced the soul, generating illusions.

This allowed him to create illusions through the soul, making people think they were experiencing time manipulation.

Sun Yan looked at Zhou Mangmang and Lin Wan; as expected, their souls had also left their bodies, standing dazedly, oblivious to what was happening.

If not for the True Monarch’s warning, tonight would have been dangerous.

"Awaken!" Sun Yan called out.

Now that he had uncovered the methods of the Four of the Tai Sui Division, dealing with them became much easier.

"What?" The Night Wanderer-associated Tomb Guardian was taken aback.

He couldn’t imagine his secretive technique being discovered by Sun Yan so quickly.

This complicated things.
