Chapter 533: Chapter 281: The Eroded Statue of Yen God, Glazed Karma Fire_2

"Moreover, it laid low at the main temple door that day, and even after being discovered, it was unharmed the next day... With it covering for you, even if the temple master discovers us, we might escape disaster."

"You are about to persuade it to leave, but ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ signals you to be quiet."

"You look at the main shrine, the shadowy figures that crowded the shoji are gone, and the sound of the large door opening echoes in the breach."

"As the sound of uniform steps recedes, you feel an invisible solid force gradually enveloping you and the whole main shrine. You know that the jade barrier has risen, trapping both of you."

"At this point, you can only explore the main shrine with ’Moon City Purple Leaf’."

"When all is silent, you stick out your head to see that the divine palace is fully deserted, not a single figure in sight."

"You return to the front of the main shrine..."

"Do you want to push open the main shrine door and explore the unknown within?"

Lin Xun directly summons his three powerful figures, Valkyrie, Snow Woman, and Sly Ghost.

He fully equips Star Lord Canis, controlling the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ with magic, ’Demon Cleaver of Unohana’ in his right hand, ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ in his left, wearing ’Armor of Dragon Knight’s Resurrection’...

"To make big sister live, I am really racking my brains."

He now transforms into a humanoid weapon arsenal, paying no attention to the astonished big sister by his side.

He takes a deep breath, and presses the door-opening option.

"With a creak, you slowly push open the main shrine door..."

"The main shrine is brightly lit, the candlelight never extinguishing, all objects inside are visible at a glance."

"On the deity platform in the depths of the main shrine, there is an immense shadow shrouded in black gas."

"Countless thick, black tendrils, each thick as a python, intertwine with each other, releasing vibrantly-black flowers that look both dazzling and eerie."

"The tendrils move, revealing a faint flame within. This is the ’Fallen Karma Fire’ on the brink of extinguishing, also the main deity’s statue ensnared in malice!"

"Your eyes are firmly drawn to the deity statue, unable to shift even slightly!"

"Malice springs up endlessly in your heart, dominating all your thoughts."

"You only want to drive the sword, to rampage and slaughter, killing all living things in this main shrine!"

"..."

"Damn it!"

Lin Xun is startled. Big sister is right at his side...

"The ’Valkyrie’ immediately takes out the ’Little Evil Spirit Bell’, the ringing echoes, and eighteen green-faced, sharp-toothed little evil spirits surround you."

"You make sword signs with your hands, the sword-light flickering, slashing, and killing more than a dozen of the little evil spirits."

"The evil thoughts in your heart suddenly retreat like a receding tide. Just as you’re about to breathe a sigh of relief, you see ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ nearby showing a strange smile, swinging a Large Naginata towards you!"

"Not only that, the shikigami ’Snow Woman’ and the shikigami ’Sly Ghost’ behind you, both show the same expression and launch an attack on you!"

"You drive ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ to fend off ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ with a swing while quickly retreating!"

"You are inhabiting the body of ’Yiye Palace’s Fire-Worshipping Master’!"

"You make signs, chanting spells, petrifying the two shikigami that dared to attack its master, and then swing the purification wand to cast ’Imperial Evil Suppression,’ to cancel the summoning."

"’Moon City Purple Leaf’ swings her sword at you again. This time the blade casts an extremely swift light. It’s clear she’s using all her strength, with the strength of the divine domain boosting this brilliant blade that you dare not ignore."

"’Valkyrie’ shakes the bell again, summoning eighteen little evil spirits to block this powerful knife strike."

"’Moon City Purple Leaf’ figures flash like a ghost, slaying all eighteen little evil spirits in an instant..."

"She suddenly recovers, retracts her strange smile, and dares not look at the deity in the depths of the main shrine any longer."

"You quickly retreat from the main shrine, trying your best to avoid the evil flame’s light."

"Luckily, I summoned Valkyrie, this autonomous awakening girl, because big sister is with us. Otherwise, we might have been sent back for free."

"So when big sister saw the statue in the temple last time, she didn’t faint, but was controlled by evil thoughts."

"However, how did she eliminate the evil thoughts?"

Lin Xun only feels terrified when thinking deeply about it, so he shakes his head quickly to clear his mind.

"Right now, you are outside the main shrine door, uncertain of what to do. The main shrine is violated by the statue contaminated by extreme evil. As soon as you step in, you will be controlled by evil thoughts."

"There is a jade barrier on the outside of the main shrine, so you can’t escape from here."

"For a moment, you are caught between a rock and a hard place. What is your next move?"

"1. Venting evil thoughts isn’t only about killing, you can confess and get naked with ’Moon City Purple Leaf’, enter the main shrine again, dispel evil thoughts in the most primitive way while approaching the deity."

"2. Acting in such a dishonorable way as described above is not the way of a gentleman. How could you do such a disgraceful thing? It would be better to try every possible way to break the barrier, escape from here with ’Moon City Purple Leaf’. Otherwise, when daylight comes, you would be discovered..."

"3. Let ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ wait outside the main shrine, you and ’Valkyrie’ enter the main shrine alone. Command her to keep summoning little evil spirits, helping you eliminate evil thoughts, until you get close to the deity and see if you can gain other rewards."

The Little Evil Spirit Bell can still be used six more times.

Using ’Ogiwara family’s Command Flag’ requires one point of soul strength to summon. Not to mention that the current soul strength is not enough, even if it is enough, summoning five hundred people all at once would attract too much attention; there would be no need to continue to explore the shrine, they would definitely be discovered.
