“Seal off the entire temple! No one is allowed to leave without authorization!”
This voice instantly reached the ears of the four demons guarding the temple gate. They quickly turned around, wanting to call back Lu Xin, who was about to leave the temple, but saw that he had already reached the center of the iron chains.
“Shang Gu, come back quickly! The Great Venerable has issued a lockdown order!”
Lu Xin pretended not to hear and, with a few steps, landed on the opposite side of the black iron chains. Then, with a few flashes, he disappeared.
“Not good, there's something wrong with him!” Even a pig would know there was a problem at this point, so the demons' expressions changed drastically.
“What do we do now? Should we chase him?” one of the demons asked.
The demon who had previously comforted Lu Xin, presumably the leader, was about to speak when several sounds of air being torn apart rang out from behind.
“Have any of you been guarding here the whole time? Has anyone left?” The Evil Buddha Demon Venerable asked in a deep voice, his face full of anger.
The demons quickly replied, explaining what happened with Lu Xin.
“It's him!”
The Evil Buddha Demon Venerable and the other demons were greatly shocked. They never expected that the most likely suspect in the disappearance of the Bodhi Creation Dew was actually someone who had been right under their noses.
“Damn it, I didn't tell that beast to collect corpses! Chase him!” The Evil Buddha Demon Venerable roared and was the first to flee.
Chi Xue and the others exchanged glances. Tian Yin's eyes were complex as he said, “Could it be that he orchestrated this himself?”
Chi Xue Demon Venerable shook his head. “I'm not sure. Let's follow him first!”
After saying that, he took the lead and followed, and the other demons quickly followed as well.
With the vastness of the world and no direction, the demons naturally lost track of Lu Xin very quickly. “Damn it, who is it! Who is it?!”
The Evil Buddha Demon Venerable's eyes were bloodshot, and demonic energy surged from his body.
He was clearly very angry. The theft of the Bodhi Creation Dew not only deprived him of the hope of recovery but also deprived him of the opportunity to avenge his severed arm.
“Ah… I hate it!”
His defeat and hasty retreat earlier had already put him on the verge of rage, and now he completely lost it. His entire body was surging with demonic power, and mountain after mountain suffered the consequences.
“Evil Buddha, who are you putting on a show for?” The demons chased after him, and Cang Ming Demon Venerable shouted.
“That's right, why didn't we sense our restrictions being triggered? Only you sensed it?” Holy Horn Demon Venerable continued to question.
The Evil Buddha Demon Venerable's back rose and fell, as if he was panting heavily. Hearing this, he suddenly turned around, his pair of scarlet eyes staring fixedly at them, causing the demons to feel a chill in their hearts.
However, the others were also old demons and quickly recovered.
“Give us an explanation!” Chi Xue Demon Venerable said coldly.
“Fine, I'll give you an explanation!” The Evil Buddha Demon Venerable roared angrily, and the surging demonic energy surged towards them.
“How dare you!”
In an instant, mountains crumbled and the earth cracked, with explosions ringing out continuously.
…
On the other side, Lu Xin cursed, “That damn female demon! I didn't even make a sound to expose her, but she actually made a commotion, almost getting me caught.”
He kicked a stone away with his foot.
However, he then grinned. This time, he achieved his goal with almost no effort. He couldn't help but praise his own wit.
In fact, this time's success was mostly due to luck. Everything was just right.
With a joyful mood, Lu Xin quickly contacted Fairy Baihua, who was hiding in a secluded place. After asking for her location, he headed towards her.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and he finally reunited with Fairy Baihua.
“You got it?” Seeing Lu Xin's appearance, Baihua couldn't help but ask.
Lu Xin nodded. “It went relatively smoothly.”
“So fast?”
Fairy Baihua was very surprised and somewhat disbelieving. She thought that Lu Xin had contacted her so quickly because he had failed. After all, he had to snatch something from the hands of six Second Tribulation old demons.
Moreover, even if his strength was strong enough to overpower the six demons, it would be even more difficult to compete for the item because they could run away.
As for crushing them, based on her understanding of the 《Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique》, even the ninth revolution, which could not be fully activated, could not achieve that.
“How exactly did you do it?” she asked again.
Lu Xin briefly explained the process, only mentioning that the body refining technique could easily change the appearance of the body, while concealing the fact that he had converted his magic power into demonic power.
Fairy Baihua listened with amazement and admired, “You really are bold and meticulous. Although luck also played a big part, if you didn't have a quick wit, you would have been exposed.”
Lu Xin waved his hand. “You flatter me. Alright, we've been delayed for so long, let's continue to the Sea of Dead Souls.”
“By the way, the commotion caused this time may be a bit big, so we need to be more careful and cautious along the way,” he then reminded her.
Fairy Baihua nodded.
Then, the two continued on their way towards the Sea of Dead Souls.
As he expected, the entire Evil Buddha Temple was mobilized, and coupled with its subordinate forces, the entire Eastern Demon Region was about to be turned upside down.
“What happened?”
“It seems that a thief infiltrated the Evil Buddha Temple and stole their treasure.”
“Who is so bold?”
“I'm not sure, but anyone with this kind of courage must be quite capable. Let's go quickly, lest we run into them.”
In the wilderness, a caravan clearly sped up.
In the sky above, Lu Xin and Fairy Baihua, after hearing their conversation, did not linger and continued to move forward, choosing to travel through the wilderness.
Soon, after more than a month of continuous travel, the two finally arrived at the edge of the Sea of Dead Souls.
After listening to Fairy Baihua's introduction, Lu Xin finally understood that this Sea of Dead Souls was not like the East Sea of the Spirit World that he had seen but was a place where the dead gathered.
It was also a famous dangerous place in the Demon World.
“Since you know where the target is, let's head over there directly.” At the entrance of the Sea of Dead Souls, Lu Xin looked around at the dark environment and said.
Fairy Baihua nodded and reminded him again, “In addition to the wandering undead, it is also filled with baleful aura, yin energy, and many other foul auras. Although your physical body is strong, you must be careful not to be easily contaminated.”
Lu Xin expressed his understanding, and then the two activated their protective shields and headed inside.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour later, the entrance of the Sea of Dead Souls, which was usually quiet, welcomed five figures again.
It was none other than Chi Xue Demon Venerable and his group.
“What bad luck! I was originally going to pick up the Bodhi Creation Dew along the way, but this damn Evil Buddha had to make so much trouble. Now, all of our thousand years of effort have been wasted!”
Cang Ming Demon Venerable spat, and it could be seen that his face was somewhat pale, obviously having suffered not a small injury in the previous battle.
Chi Xue Demon Venerable said, “Alright, you've been cursing all the way. Since things have come to this, we can only focus on the matter at hand.”
“I just can't swallow this breath. Damn thief, don't let me catch him.”
After repeated confirmation, they had generally believed that the loss of the Creation Dew was not the work of the Evil Buddha.
Tian Yin Demon Venerable was also secretly annoyed. She had schemed for so long, but she didn't expect to be one step ahead by someone else. However, there was no use in being annoyed now, so she asked:
“Chi Xue, are you sure the Soul Suppressing Stone is inside?”
Chi Xue Demon Venerable nodded. “I saw it here before. At that time, it was occupied as a nest by a Black Scale Demon Dragon. I tried to seize it several times but failed, so I didn't force it.”
“Is that Demon Dragon very strong?”
Chi Xue shook his head. “It's just that its defense is strong. I can't do anything to it.”
“That's simple. When the time comes, I'll lure it away.” Holy Horn Demon Venerable said.
Tian Yin Demon Venerable nodded. “In that case, my sect's sacred artifact, the Blood Slaughter Soul Suppressing Bell, can be repaired. When the time comes, the first swing will disperse the stagnant souls, and the second swing will soften the flesh and blood, and we can also avenge the battle with the Spirit World.”
“I've heard of your sect's sacred artifact, but what will happen after the third swing?” Cang Ming Demon Venerable asked curiously.
“After the third swing, it will be what we need to do now.” Di Luo Demon Venerable crossed his arms, rarely speaking.
“Is that what you call a sacred artifact?” Cang Ming Demon Venerable's mouth twitched.
“Alright, to prevent the people of the Spirit World from retreating, let's find the Soul Suppressing Stone as soon as possible.”
