C28 Completing the Mission
A wisp of candle light in the hall contrasted with Daoist Priest Shang Qing's ghastly pale face, and another figure sat on a chair and waited calmly. He seemed to be in no hurry, and he was like a leisurely traveler that allowed time to slowly pass by.
After a long time, a few drops of cold sweat slowly flowed down from Daoist Priest Shang Qing's forehead. His expression gradually became twisted. Xu Lai's needles were not that simple. Not only did it make his body stiffen, it also made him feel like thousands of ants were biting his body. It was itchy and painful. That feeling was torturing the central nervous system of Daoist Priest Shang Qing. It made him feel that everything before his eyes had started to become blurry.
Although he looked at Taoist Priest Qing with his head lowered, there was nothing strange about it. However, only he himself knew what kind of torture he was going through.
Xu Lai saw that this Taoist Priest Qing, who had plundered such a huge amount of wealth, was able to endure for such a long time. He couldn't help but say slowly.
"I really don't know how many benefits the Feng family has given you. To be able to endure it to such an extent and still refuse to say a single word. Could it be that your surname is also Feng?"
Xu Lai's words pierced into Daoist Priest Shang Qing's heart like a sharp sword. He had relied on his supreme will to resist this endless pain, but Xu Lai's words had shaken his heart.
Feng Family.
These two key words had completely disturbed his thoughts. He finally couldn't help but let out a low growl. However, he gritted his teeth and stared at Xu Lai.
"I don't care who you are. Our power is not something you can deal with. I am just a chess piece on the surface. If you know what's good for you, you can leave now. I will let bygones be bygones."
Even so, this Taoist Priest Shangqing was still threatening Xu Lai. He didn't know what kind of person could give him such courage. Xu Lai was curious at this moment.
However, before he could say anything else, his eyes were attracted by something behind Taoist Priest Shangqing.
Xu Lai had been focusing on the Daoist Priest in front of him and had overlooked something. At this time, he noticed that behind Daoist Priest Shang Qing's prostrated Taoist altar, there was a huge iron gate. On the iron gate was carved the image of a giant demon with wings on its back and stepping on dark clouds. This image did not fit in with this hall.
Think about it, there was a devil in the hall of the inheritance of the Dao Sect. It sounded funny, but in Xu Lai's eyes, it was terrifying to the extreme.
Because the devil's image was nothing else. It was the devil's image that Xu Lai saw in the eyes of the girl in red at the beginning. Now, a layer of sweat could be seen on Xu Lai's forehead. He felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this.
Xu Lai knew that he had to act quickly.
After carefully examining the structure of the iron door, Xu Lai quietly pushed open the sealed door. There was no mechanism in the door, so Xu Lai felt that this might not be a place to hide treasures.
Behind the iron door was a tunnel that led up and down. Xu Lai dragged Taoist Shangqing in.
The tunnel was very long. Xu Lai felt that he had walked for half an hour before he reached the end.
It was a small altar. There were piles of white bones around the altar. The small altar was surrounded by a nauseating smell of blood. More importantly, Xu Lai could faintly hear the sound of cold wind.
He was a little curious. After searching around, he found another tunnel.
However, this tunnel seemed to have been blown up and could no longer enter.
As for the chilly wind, it seemed to be coming from the cracks in the mountain rocks near the altar.
Xu Lai saw that Daoist Priest Shangqing had been silent all this while and quietly placed his hand on the altar. At this time, the mouth of the expressionless Daoist Priest Shangqing suddenly twitched. Xu Lai sneered in his heart. Old fox, let's see how long you can last.
In the next moment, Xu Lai saw a rusty axe next to a skeleton on the ground. He picked it up and swung it at the altar.
Ah!
This time, Daoist Priest Shangqing could not hold back anymore. He wanted to lunge at the altar like a madman, but the axe in Xu Lai's hand stopped when it was still half an inch away from the altar.
"This is your last chance. Tell me what you know."
Daoist Priest Shang Qing was already lying on the ground. His entire body was trembling as he spoke slowly in an extremely frightened tone.
"I was originally a small Taoist temple in this remote and remote place until many years ago. A Mr. Feng came to me with his granddaughter and said he was going to build an altar. " At that time, I didn't think much of it, but who knew that the altar was actually to revive a demon? The old man named Feng sacrificed his granddaughter to the demon in exchange for the continuation of his life. They gave me endless wealth and made me serve the Abyss Devil here. "
"But who knew that this Abyss Devil had a huge appetite. Although he was sealed in hell, he could devour people's souls through the altar. In order to provide countless souls over the years, we were forced to capture countless people passing by and imprison them here to mine. Later on, things were almost exposed. We had no choice but to blow up the mine and set up the Abyss Devil's altar in this temple hall."
"Don't look at those bright and beautiful people because they wanted to read my fortune. No, they heard the news from somewhere. They came here to make a deal with this devil. Although these people look harmless, they are actually believers of this devil!"
Daoist Priest Shang Qing lay on the ground and used his last bit of strength to complain. He stared at the altar. A strange red light flashed in his eyes. The reason why he didn't dare to say a single word... And not only because of the prestige of the Feng family, but also because there were too many people who had made deals with the demons in the altar. The benefits involved were enough to turn Daoist Priest Shang Qing into ashes, and the magnificent temple palace disappeared overnight.
Daoist Priest Shang Qing was well aware of this. Of course, he was well aware of this, so he didn't dare to say anything even if he was beaten to death.
However, the youth in front of him was even more terrifying than the devil. Once the altar was destroyed, he wouldn't be far from the end of the world, so he had no choice but to say it in the end.
At this moment, Xu Lai was sizing up the small altar. Of course, he didn't have the time to think about what Daoist Shangqing was thinking next to him. In short, after listening to what he said, Xu Lai felt a light on his back. Of course. Of course, this wasn't because of the devil. His digestive ability was much faster than ordinary people when it came to the matters of devils. After all, he was working for God himself. It didn't matter to him that there were a few more demons in the world.
Now, even if there were demons in front of him, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
However, after Daoist Priest Shang Qing's description, Xu Lai became more and more wary of the human heart. The evilest thing wasn't the devil, but the human heart. It was the dirty heart that everyone wore.
Thinking that the case of Feng Taotao was handed over to Lee Fei by the head of the Feng family, Xu Lai felt a lingering fear. He turned his eyes and looked at the person lying on the ground. Daoist Priest Shang Qing glanced at him.
"Did Feng Sheng, the head of the Feng family, tell you that I came here?"
"You, how did you know?"
Taoist Shangqing was very surprised. Xu Lai sneered. This old man was indeed not simple. It seemed that the investigation into Feng Taotao's disappearance was because he had to investigate for some irresistible reason. However, it was obvious that he did not want anyone to find out.
"I'm tired. If that's the case, let's destroy it."
Xu Lai stretched his back and casually threw the ax down in front of Daoist Priest Shang Qing.
No!
Daoist Priest Shang Qing's desperate cry did not change anything. The moment the ax hit the altar, the entire altar began to crack. Then, the crack began to spread and extend. Finally, it completely shattered with a bang.
The instant the altar shattered, a shadow appeared above the ruins of the altar.
"Saint of God? You really have some skill, daring to offend the great Lord Mamen!"
"Eh? Say it again. What lord?"
Xu Lai, who did not know much about devils, scratched his head. It was obvious that the devil knew him like the back of his hand, but he knew nothing about the devil.
The devil did not expect that the young man in front of him, as a saint of God, would know nothing about his great Lord Mamen. Mamen began to suspect that this man was a saint.
At this moment, the system made up for Xu Lai's lack of knowledge.
"The system detected the shadow of a high rank devil. It is identifying the devil."
Name: Mamen.
Identity: Little Prince of the Devil World, the highest commander of the royal cavalry of the Devil World.
Title: Greed of Original Sin.
Race: Devil.
Grade: Great Demon
Status: 72 Demons of Solomon.
Addiction: Slaughter, Money, Collect all the treasures led by the Black Pearl.
Specialty: Extremely destructive.
System Detection Level: Extremely Dangerous (Because it is a demonic projection that cannot cause physical damage to the host, the host does not have to worry about it.)
Xu Lai did not see the first part clearly, but he did see the last part clearly.
Oh, so it was an image projected by a projector.
Then put on a hammer!
Demon Mamen didn't expect the worried expression of the youth in front of him to suddenly change. Then, he arrogantly pointed his middle finger at himself.
What was going on?
Mamen swore that he had lived for more than a thousand years and had never encountered such a situation.
For a moment, he was shocked.
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
That youth actually took off his pants in front of him and then rushed towards the ruins of his altar.
Shhh...
That's right, he didn't see wrongly.
At this moment, the young man who was doing everything tilted his head and looked at him in surprise.
"Hey, you're fine. If you're fine, hurry up and go back to hell. What's the matter with you peeping at me and peeing?"
The young man's words made Mamen vomit blood, but what he summoned was nothing. It really did not affect the young man at all.
"Young man, wait and see. You will pay the price for what you did today!"
Ma Men threw down a vicious sentence, and then the shadow dissipated.
Xu Lai just curled his lips and did not take it seriously.
After the shadow disappeared, the cave where the altar was began to shake violently. When Xu Lai couldn't react at all, the entire cave began to collapse. Xu Lai felt his body falling as the rock shook.
Then, he fell heavily onto the ground.
"Young man, you have indeed kept your promise."
Not long after, a hoarse old man's voice woke Xu Lai up.
Xu Lai rubbed his muddleheaded forehead. What entered his sight were countless vengeful souls that were floating in the sky with green smoke. Beside him was Daoist Priest Shangqing, whose appearance had almost been sucked into his body.
It turned out that under the altar was the destroyed mine.
Lying on the ground beside him, he had died a horrible death. Daoist Priest Qing also clearly did not expect that he would not die at the hands of those angry rich people. Instead, he would die at the hands of these miners that he had regarded as ants.
Xu Lai couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
At the same time.
"Congratulations to host for completing the mission to free the undead. Rewards to host: 50% shares of Glory World Mansion."
Glory World Residences?
Wasn't this the property of the Zhao Corporation?
Xu Lai touched his forehead. This was really a coincidence.
