Chapter 134: Prelude

The Eastern Depot Agent outside the door was originally very bold. Compared with those people in the Imperial Guard in the Capital City, he had handled some major cases and was a character who came up from hellish scenes of skinning and torture. Although he couldn’t be said to devour heaven and earth, walking outside, he also had a gloomy murderous aura.

Today, he received information from both the Imperial Guard and the Eastern Depot, saying that a demon-spouting thief had appeared at Censor Pan’s place. Knowing it was likely related to the struggles above, he obeyed the deployment and followed the Head File Keeper with his men to rush in.

On the way, this Agent already saw the abnormal changes in the world. The scene of lightning flashing without clouds in the sky and the sound of thunder made one’s heart pound. Although he was bold, he couldn’t withstand such terrifying weather changes, and he felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

They rushed all the way to Censor Pan’s residence. An insider quietly opened the door. A group of people didn’t care about much and rushed to this rockery first, just waiting to catch the demon and then confront Master Pan face to face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the rockery, they heard the thunder overhead getting denser. Even the lightning seemed like a mirror shop opened in the sky, flashing everywhere desperately. The entire Pan Family residence suddenly became bright as day.

At this point, if they still didn’t know that the rumors just now were wrong and that there really seemed to be an evil spirit at the Pan Family, then this Eastern Depot Head File Keeper shouldn’t hold his position anymore.

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Since they had already rushed here, they couldn’t just retreat.

This Censor Pan originally had a grudge against the Eastern Depot. Since they had already rushed in and everyone’s face had been torn, they might as well go all the way and pin the matter of the evil spirit firmly on the Pan Family to avoid the Director being in a difficult position later.

However, thinking was one thing, when it came to actually doing it, these Eastern Depot Agents and File Keepers all went soft in the hands and feet.

Let alone the thunder and lightning in the sky, just listening to the ghostly wailing and godly howling in the Buddha Hall, one knew how that Immortal mentioned by the Pan Family steward was killing in all directions.

What’s more, watching the windows of the Buddha Hall open without wind, filled with bright fire everywhere, yet the entire Buddha Hall showed no movement, everyone knew in their hearts how eerie the inside of the Buddha Hall was.

After thinking for a while, the Head File Keeper was about to call a group of Agents to rush to the Buddha Hall together, but was unexpectedly held back tightly by the steward, who refused to let go no matter what.

Asked carefully, it turned out that the Immortal had said that the underground here was the Blood Pool Hell, and the abnormal signs in the sky were caused by the filthy energy of the Blood Pool Hell colliding with Yang energy. Absolutely no one could be let in. If one was careless and went in, being stimulated by the filthy energy and turning into a Demon Lord would be greatly terrible.

To say that the Eastern Depot crowd, although they had seen many bloody scenes, were no less murderous than the border soldiers, but these people still somewhat believed in gods and ghosts in their hearts.

Faced with such a fierce scene, none of these Eastern Depot Agents had seen it before. Hearing what the Pan Family steward said, they all felt somewhat panicked.

As for the talk of Demon Lords, although these people still talked big, they believed quite a bit in their hearts. Naturally, they would not continue to send a large group of people to rush up, fearing that they would really provoke the fierce energy and turn into a group of Demon Lords.

The Head File Keeper thought again and again, turned around and ordered this Agent to go to the Buddha Hall alone to see what exactly happened.

The calculation in his heart was that if a Demon Lord really appeared, it would only be one. The Eastern Depot crowd plus those Pan Family guards with random sword strikes might be able to handle it.

At this point, this Agent also knew his fate. He was even more terrified. He gathered his courage all the way, daring not to look or listen, rushed to the door, kicked it open, and wanted to cheer himself up.

He saw the white, pale, thick ropes like human bones in the Buddha Hall, and the black monsters like ghosts on the ground. These monsters all turned their heads to look at him. The ropes in the air also seemed to raise their front ends like pythons to aim at him. All his courage vanished in that instant. He couldn’t care about saying anything, fell to the ground, and lost control of his bowels.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the Agent in front, the group behind was even more panicked. The thunder and lightning in the sky further intensified the fear in their hearts. They feared that if something was slightly wrong, this group of people would scatter and run as far as possible.

At this time, suddenly hearing the words from the Immortal inside, these people felt their hearts settle.

Strangely enough, the thunder in the sky seemed like countless cymbals striking together, yet it couldn’t block the voice of this Immortal. Every word he said seemed to whisper in everyone’s ear, and every word could be heard clearly.

At this point, who still doubted that there was really an Immortal fighting monsters in the Buddha Hall? And who dared not listen to the Immortal’s words?

Without the Head File Keeper’s order, only the sound of “clang clang” swords being drawn kept ringing. It was all the Eastern Depot Agents and File Keepers drawing the Embroidered Spring Swords at their waists, just waiting for someone to take these weapons away.

The Head File Keeper glanced and shouted in a thin voice: “Ma Er, did you not hear the words of the Immortal Master? Give your sword to the Immortal Master, then come down to get it.”

Ma Er was exactly that Agent who was so scared he lost control of his bowels. Hearing the Head File Keeper’s words, although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he dared not disobey at this time. He struggled to stand up and walked tremblingly toward the Buddha Hall.

As soon as he stepped into the Buddha Hall, the gloomy atmosphere inside was even different. Faint crying sounds came from everywhere, and gusts of sinister wind that didn’t exist outside. Ma Er was covered in goosebumps, without even the courage to take a step forward.

At this moment, a monster suddenly emerged beside Ma Er and pounced on Ma Er, who was terrified out of his wits.

Ma Er looked at everything before his eyes, his heart shouting “I’m dead.” He closed his eyes, daring not to look anymore.

At this moment, Ma Er vaguely heard a “hiss” sound, and then there was no movement in front of him. He opened his eyes in panic and saw that the ferocious monster had been pinned to the ground by the rope from above, slowly burning with fire, destined to vanish into thin air.

At the same time, he heard the teenager in the Buddha Hall smile and say: “Don’t panic, don’t panic. Walk in, give the sword to me, and I will naturally keep you safe.”

Hearing this, how dare Ma Er not listen? He gathered his courage and walked two steps forward. Strangely, those ropes above his head kept striking out, pinning monsters to the ground one by one, but they did not make any move against Ma Er.

The Buddha Hall was not big. Ma Er walked these two steps and was already in front of Xiao Fen. He handed over the sword and was about to turn and leave.

But at this time, Xiao Fen, whose body was already tired, was unwilling to let this “teammate” go. He handed the sword back and said: “You, you don’t know what’s good for you. Your death date is near, very near.”
