Chapter 532: Chapter 281: The Eroded Statue of Yen God, Glazed Karma Fire_1

The divine power of ’Heavenly Light Temple’ far exceeded that of ’Wuzhi Shrine.’ Not only did Lin Xun have to face a powerful, unknown BOSS, but also a multitude of temple personnel amplified by the power of the Divine Domain.

The idea of conquering the temple undoubtedly posed a major challenge.

However, being dissuaded without attempting to overcome the obstacles wasn’t in Lin Xun’s character.

He decided to venture into the main shrine alone when night fell...

Pretending to reassure his senior sister, he left the ’Sheshe Temple’.

Secluding himself away from the many worshippers in the temple, Lin Xun hid on the outskirts to test the invisibility skill of the ’Ninja Master’.

Inside the ’Wuzhi Shrine’, when the Ninja Master activated his concealment technique, you could only vaguely see a blurred transparent figure.

However, on the outskirts of the ’Heavenly Light Temple’, the epic+ level concealment technique could only make his figure slightly hazy, failing to achieve the effect of invisibility.

Despite being mentally prepared, Lin Xun couldn’t help but lament.

As night fell, his soul’s strength recovered slightly. He resurrected his Shikigami ’Sly Ghost’, switched to Star Lord Canis’s shell, and once again infiltrated the temple...

[Dark clouds covered the moonlight and starlight, making the deep night eerily silent.]

[You fly high in the sky on your sword, overlooking the peak of Heavenly Light Mountain below. The temple is devoid of the daytime hubbub, leaving only the oppressive silence of darkness.]

[You activate your True Element to enhance your vision and see that there are only a few temple workers carrying lanterns on patrol inside the temple...]

[For a large ’Heavenly Light Temple’, a few temple workers on patrol are not enough to deter any enemies.]

[It’s not surprising, though. The ’Heavenly Light Temple’ holds an exalted position and houses the statue of the only true god - the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’. Disciples and worshippers are too busy venerating it to dare to desecrate the temple.]

[As for the remnants of the ’Evil Spirits’, most have vanished. Even the survivors hide in the wilderness and mountains, living in constant fear and not daring to step into the capital.]

[Soon, several temple workers finished their patrol and returned to their lodgings to rest...]

[By now it was the late-night hours, and Moon City Purple Leaf’s ’worship ceremony’ would soon begin.]

[You silently lower your altitude and land...]

[You hide in the shadows on the outskirts of the main shrine. In the dimly lit night, unless someone holding a lantern intentionally patrols here, they will not be able to detect you.]

[Suddenly, you have a feeling and look into the distance...]

[You see a myriad of people gathering from the temple worker lodgings, totaling close to a hundred.]

[They make not a sound, slowly advancing towards the main shrine. Aside from the orderly and faint sound of footsteps, you hear no other sounds.]

[As the crowd draws closer, you notice the person in the lead is wearing white. The pale-grey ’Eight Wisteria Circles’ emblem is elegantly painted on the uniform.]

[For a top-tier temple such as ’Heavenly Light Temple’, only the temple head with the highest status and control over everything can wear such attire.]

[You’ve found the ’Extremely Evil Heavenly Light Temple Head’!]

[The Temple Head proceeds with a stoic expression. Not just him, but all of the associated personnel behind him share the same demeanor. The identical countenance of nearly a hundred people gives you an inexplicable sense of oppression.]

[The Temple Head approaches the doors of the main shrine, waves to remove the invisible barrier, and leads the others single file into the main shrine...]

[You quietly circle back to the front of the main shrine, only to find the doors shut tightly. The fluctuating shadows reflected on the paper windows silently inform you that the worship ceremony is about to begin.]

[You tread lightly, making no sound, taking advantage of the removal of the barrier to step into the main shrine’s area.]

[You enter the barrier and once again circle around to the back of the main shrine, quietly waiting for the worship ceremony to end.]

[At that time, when the Temple Head and his party leave, you will be able to secretly infiltrate the main shrine.]

[But when the Temple Head leaves, he will undoubtedly raise the barrier again. With the barrier in place, you will most likely be trapped inside the main shrine, unable to leave...]

[Do you continue to lie low or do you retreat now?]

Lin Xun didn’t particularly care. Even if it was a one-way ticket, it didn’t matter. If he couldn’t escape, he could simply kill himself and respawn for free.

He watched the game text, waiting silently.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the game text changed.

[Suddenly, an invisible hand lands on your shoulder. You startle, ready to swing your sword, but it’s ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ who has materialized behind you.]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ cautiously watches your ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ and gently asks, Milord?]

[It had witnessed you, transformed into a giant, battling alongside the ’Ninja Master’ in a phantom landscape within ’Wuzhi Shrine.’ It knew of your foreign magic’s profound capabilities that allowed you to morph into a sorcerer or a power figure.]

[Although you currently present as a strange swordsman, it recognizes you through your ’Dragon Sword Masamune.’...]

"Damn it! What is Big Sister doing here?"

Lin Xun had planned to risk his life to glean a bit of intelligence about the BOSS in the main shrine. Even if he died once, he wouldn’t consider it a loss.

He could die and respawn, but if Big Sister died, she would be just gone.

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ takes out a ’Large Naginata’ with one hand and a golden ’Kagura Bell’ with the other, firmly shaking her head in response to your attempt to send her away.]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ quietly reminds you, the divine power of the ’Heavenly Light Temple’ is unmatched by any other shrine. Like other temple personnel, it too can benefit from power-up. Milord, you must not underestimate it.]
