Chapter 545: Chapter 285: The Ancient Tomb of Fire Worship, the Tomb Guardian and the Ancient Heroic Spirits_3

[You stopped the tomb keeper, drenched in sweat but still trying to awaken heroic spirits, signaling your deep gratitude for its help. ]

[When the time comes, you will head to the ancient tomb to inform it about awakening the heroic spirits, subsequently luring the traitorous general here for an on-the-spot execution, all to appease the countless spirits of warriors!]

[The tomb keeper ceased to speak, instead bowing repeatedly towards you in deep reverence.]

[As the incense was extinguished, the waning apparitions of the heroic spirits disappeared one by one, drifting back into their slumber...]

[You bid farewell to the tomb keeper and left the ’Ancient Tomb of Fire Worship’...]

Lin Xun departed from Capital, heading back to the demon headquarters, ’Dragon Pond Temple’.

Following the completion of his alliance with the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’, new developments about ’Dragon Pond Temple’ might just emerge.

The decisive battle with the mighty general is fast approaching, and despite the glaring disparity in their respective strengths, he knows all too well that he has to harness every ounce of power he wields!

[Potent wandering souls revived from their slumber within the temple guest house...]

[You possess the shell of the ’Primordial Hermit’!]

[You pushed open the imposing door of the guest house, stepping into the courtyard.] 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

[The Meditation Group was expanded to include over fifty small demons, the influx of newbies rendering the courtyard packed to the brim. Under the watchful leadership of ’Bull Demon’, all of them were kept on their toes, training intensely and hoping one day to freely walk under the sunshine once more.]

[Your entrance into the courtyard sparked gratitude among the small monsters, who felt compelled to kneel and bow in deference to you.]

[A handful of braver small demons even dragged you over to the main temple, eager for you to admire the ’Dragon God Descendants’ sculpture that they’ve tirelessly crafted.]

[Inside the main temple, situated next to an iconic sculpture of the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’, a smaller statue representing the ’Dragon God Descendants’ was added.]

[The statue bore a resemblance to the ’Primordial Hermit’, boasting a dragon’s head and a human body. However, the poor sculpting skills of the aspiring small demons resulted in an indescribably "abstract beauty" for their masterpiece.]

[Both ’Bull Demon’ and the ’Night-Delivering Dog’ strained to stifle their amusement at the sight of the statue.]

[In the main temple, ’Maritime Master’ was busy venerating the statue for blessings. Upon your entry, it tactfully shooed away the throng of intrigued small demons, promptly shutting the doors of the main temple thereafter.]

[You began to recount to the ’Maritime Master’ the numerous experiences you had in the Capital...]

[...]

[Shocked to the core by the truth, ’Maritime Master’ remained dumbfounded for a good while before uttering a long sigh, lamenting that humans have been blindly misled by the Evil God, remaining oblivious to the looming danger faced by their deity.]

[Moreover, it was astonished to find out that the Sakura fall human ruler, the invincible mighty general, had renounced his faith, becoming a pawn under the Evil God...]

[The new god asked Lord Dragon Descendant to seek out surviving gods for support...it is just a shame that all deities under the Dragon God had perished during the god battle. Otherwise, they would have been able to help Lord Dragon Descendant to battle against the mighty general.]

[During the despairing lamentation, something suddenly popped into ’Maritime Master’s’ mind. It immediately started to share with you...]

[Although the demon race is currently in dire straits, hiding amongst deep mountains, the bloodlines of some legendary demons might have survived in the world.]

[If you, Lord Dragon Descendant, can find the bloodlines of these legendary demons, it will undoubtedly increase the chances of defeating the mighty general.]

Lin Xun suddenly recalled a piece of information shared by the ’Librarian’ he had charmed.

It was revealed that the Imperial Palace had stored books recording the god battle, including the clues about the three top demons, ’Shuten-doji’ , the ’Nine-tailed Fox’, and the ’Great Tengu’.

[After contemplating for a while, the ’Maritime Master’ pulled out an antique compass. It bit its finger and dropped a bead of blood onto it... ]

[The compass bloomed with dazzling brilliance, its tiny pointer spinning at a rapid pace thereafter.]

[’Maritime Master’ handed over the compass to you...]

[You obtained the ’Yokai-Seeking Compass’ (Item)]

[The ’Yokai-Seeking Compass’ (Item): A yokai-seeking lure instrument powered by blood from the heart of the ’Maritime Master’. This item can pinpoint the presence of the most potent demon blood within a small radius. Even if the demon uses some kind of enchantment to conceal its aura, it will still be difficult for it to escape the instrument’s search.]

[Please note, this instrument is powered by the heart blood of the ’Maritime Master’ and can only last for a maximum of seven days.]

[’Maritime Master’ seriously discussed with you, ’Dragon Descendant, the searching range of this instrument is large enough to cover the entire area from the foot to the peak of the mountain of ’Dragon Pond Temple’.]

[This instrument is fatal for the hiding demons, and under no circumstances should it be discarded carelessly, lest it falls into the wrong hands.]

[As you took the instrument, the compass pointer rotated several times and abruptly swung towards you.]

[You nodded in agreement that if you successfully slay the mighty general, you would reveal to the world as the ’Yama Representative’ and ’Dragon God Descendant’ who the real enemy was.]

[Subsequently, humans and demons could join forces against the same enemy, that is the Evil God.]

[The demon race could then leave the mountains and once again roam freely under the wide heavens!]

[Tears gleamed in the ’Maritime Master’s’ eyes. it was too choked up to utter a word, instead, it performed a deep bow to you, forehead pressing onto the ground in a show of devout reverence.]
