Chapter 977 Demonic Body Awakening

The underground passage was dimly lit, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. However, at Ye Chunyang's level, one could clearly tell the direction of external objects even without looking at them with the naked eye. With the keen perception of the Pixiu, there was almost no obstacle in walking underground.

What surprised Ye Chunyang was that this underground world was unusually wide, and there was a faint sound of flowing water, and bursts of coolness came from time to time.

Although the three people in front had already disappeared, with his extraordinary perception, Ye Chunyang still vaguely felt the direction in which they fled, but he did not follow too closely to avoid being noticed by the other party.

As he went deeper and deeper, the sound of dripping water continued to come, and the breath emitted from the cave became colder and colder, even with a bone-chilling chill. Ye Chunyang carefully sensed it and found that there was a faint demonic aura hidden in this cool air, and the further he went, the stronger the demonic aura became.

But the strange thing was that this demonic aura seemed to be suppressed by some force, preventing it from spreading. At the same time, Ye Chunyang felt that after approaching this aura, something on his body seemed to resonate with it, and he repeatedly made unusual movements.

Ye Chunyang felt clearly that this abnormal movement was actually the Brahma Golden Lotus in his body.

Upon noticing this, Ye Chunyang felt a little nervous and hurriedly mobilized his magic power to suppress it.

Brahma Golden Lotus, like the Spirit Spoon, was a secret that he had to hide. Once it was leaked, it would surely lead to endless pursuit, so he had to be careful.

"Huh?"

Just after walking for a while, Ye Chunyang heard some subtle movements in his ears, and his footsteps stopped unconsciously. The Pixiu on his shoulder seemed to sense something, and his hair stood up all over his body, and his eyes showed a cold and sharp light.

After he stopped, a ray of light shot out from the movement. Yan Lao Mo and Master Wuxin, who were walking in the front, looked at each other, their faces were strange, and one of them paused.

Afterwards, Wei Zhiyan also disappeared into the darkness silently, without any breath revealed.

Not far ahead was a spring, with a cool and refreshing air. The water in the spring was dark black, with a seven-foot-long staff suspended on it. A Buddhist bead was inlaid on the top of the staff, and holy and majestic Sanskrit was flowing.

"The mantra of the Buddhist scriptures, this is..." Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes, thinking of the previous conversation between Wei Zhiyan and the Huangquan Ancient Demon, and couldn't help but look at the deep spring again.

If I guessed correctly, this is a demon-sealing pond, and Wei Zhiyan's demon body is probably sleeping in it.

Sure enough, after seeing the staff suspended in the air, Wei Zhiyan smiled. But he seemed to be waiting for something, still hiding in the dark, and neither Yan Laomo nor Master Wuxin noticed him.

"Wei Zhiyan... Yan Laomo... Buddhist elder..."

Ye Chunyang thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.

Since following Wei Zhiyan, he knew that this person was as good at hiding as himself, and few people could find him if he really hid. With such a high level of concealment, it is hard to believe that he was discovered by Yan Lao Mo before. The only possibility is that he showed up on his own initiative.

The reason for this is probably that he discovered that Master Wuxin of Buddhism was also here through some means, and the Golden Zen Staff is a treasure of Buddhism. If he wants to remove the seal of the staff on his demon body, it is obvious that people from Buddhism are more suitable than Wu Dao Ren.

"It seems that this guy can't wait any longer." Ye Chunyang thought to himself.

Recalling the plan of Wei Zhiyan and Huangquan Ancient Demon, they wanted to lead Wu Dao Ren here to help him remove the seal, but they didn't expect to find Master Wuxin of Buddhism here after they came here, so they changed their minds temporarily.

Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly. He followed Wei Zhiyan here out of curiosity because he was alone and it was easier to deal with him. Now that Yan Lao Mo and Master Wuxin were here, he hesitated whether to wade into this muddy water.

So far, Ye Chunyang has not dealt with Buddhism, so Master Wuxin does not need to worry, but Old Demon Yan has an old grudge against him, and once he discovers his existence, he will definitely not let it go easily.

After weighing it secretly, Ye Chunyang decided to continue observing for a while. If it really comes to a point where it is impossible to do anything, it will not be too late to think of another way to get out.

While he was thinking this way, Master Wuxin and Old Demon Yan in front of him had different expressions. The former was full of joy, while the latter stared at the Sealing Demon Pond in front of him with an uncertain face, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

After a while, the old demon raised his head, glanced at the staff floating on the black spring, and then looked at Master Wuxin, saying: "I didn't expect there would be a Buddhist treasure here. It seems that Master knew it early on?"

Master Wuxin smiled but did not answer.

He put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name. Suddenly, his wrist shook and a string of Buddhist beads flew out of his hand. Then he pinched his fingers and chanted a mantra. The Buddhist beads immediately shone brightly and shone on the staff. In a blink of an eye, the staff was encircled.

"Master, you don't have to be so cautious. This staff is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, my skills are different from mine, so I naturally don't have any thoughts about it."

Seeing that Master Wuxin controlled the treasure without saying a word, Old Demon Yan curled his lips and smiled lightly, looking disapproving.

"Hehe, Daoist Fellow Yan, you worry too much. I'm not worried about what Daoist Fellow Yan thinks. It's just that this Golden Zen Staff is a treasure that has been lost for many years in my Little Leiyin Temple. Now that it has been found, I must be careful. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to Senior Brother Wuzhi after I go back." Master Wuxin said with a smile, and his seemingly kind eyes obviously concealed a bit of vigilance.

Old Demon Yan did not comment.

Master Wuxin did not say anything more. He turned his eyes and continued to urge the Buddha beads. The golden Zen staff suspended in the air suddenly made a loud buzzing sound as if it had spiritual perception, emitting dazzling golden rainbows, and countless Buddhist mantras were flowing, with a solemn appearance.

The two did not notice that behind them, Wei Zhiyan and Ye Chunyang were closely watching their every move. Although they were only in the early stage of Yuanying, the latter's concealment skills were outstanding, and they did not notice anything unusual for a while.

Seeing Master Wuxin taking the golden Zen staff, Yan Lao Mo did not seem to want to stop him. He just watched calmly on the side, but his eyes kept looking forward, and a hint of obscurity flashed in his eyes, as if waiting for something to appear.

Ye Chunyang looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was dark.

From the conversation between Wei Zhiyan and Huangquan Ancient Demon, it was obvious that the golden cicada staff was the key to suppressing his demon body. Once it was taken away, Wei Zhiyan could successfully achieve his goal.

Although he didn't know what would happen to Wei Zhiyan after he got the Demon Body, Ye Chunyang could sense that if he succeeded, it would cause a huge disturbance, and no one would be able to leave here easily.

Looking at the place where Wei Zhiyan was hiding, Ye Chunyang's face sank little by little. The purpose of coming here was just to find out the situation, but he didn't expect that the situation was far more complicated than he imagined.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave, but planned to find out the situation here thoroughly before talking about it.

At this time, the Buddha's light shone on the black water pool, and the buzzing sound rose. The golden Zen staff flew back to his hand safely after the Buddha beads were collected. Looking at this treasure that had been lost for many years, Master Wuxin showed joy on his face. After putting the treasure into the Qiankun bag, he retreated without hesitation.

"Why, Master, don't you want to see what's under here?" Seeing Master Wuxin's move, Yan Laomo flashed a little surprise in his eyes.

"The things below? There's no need for that. This trip is just to find the lost treasures in the temple. What's in this black water pool has nothing to do with me." Master Wuxin said with a smile, and he was determined to leave.

Seeing his determination, Yan Lao Mo was surprised, but he was more happy. Although he couldn't be sure what was under the black water pool, he felt a resonance of martial arts in the cold fog forest before he came here. It can be seen that this black water pool must be not simple, and the other party's initiative to give up is what he wants.

"The purpose of this trip has been achieved. I'll say goodbye. Take care, fellow Daoist Yan." Wuxin looked at Yan Lao Mo, his eyes flashed a few times as if there was a deep meaning, then smiled, turned around and retreated.

Yan Lao Mo half-closed his eyes and didn't say much.

But at this moment, something strange happened. The originally calm black water pool suddenly rippled, and layers of dense and insoluble demonic energy swept out. Yan Lao Mo's face flashed a trace of surprise, and Master Wu Xin, who was about to leave, also stopped with a serious expression.

The two of them looked at the pool at the same time, and saw a huge vortex rising out of thin air. After several swirls, it spewed out amazing demonic clouds, and two rainbow lights appeared from it.

Master Wu Xin and Yan Lao Mo couldn't help but look at each other, their faces showing astonishment, but before they could take any action, the two rainbow lights inside became more and more brilliant, and shot to the top of the cave and directly penetrated two holes about ten feet in size.

This sudden change not only shocked the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but also Ye Chunyang, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, showing deep horror.

At the same time, the black water in the pool became as thick as ink, and the demonic mist inside became thicker and thicker like clouds. Looking closely, it seemed that something was slowly rising from the water.

Master Wuxin and Old Demon Yan's faces changed drastically. As they approached, they suddenly saw a huge head emerging from the water. It was neither human nor demon, with a hideous face. There were also two sharp tentacles several feet long that broke out from the water. The demonic aura on it was chilling.

"This is!"

"A cultivator from the demon world!"

Seeing the face that emerged from the water, Master Wuxin and the others' pupils suddenly shrank, and they blurted out in shock, as if they recognized this hideous demon.

On the other side, feeling a crushing breath coming, Ye Chunyang felt a chill in his heart. This demon was obviously Wei Zhiyan's demon body. If he guessed correctly, the latter would take action next. Seeing the aura of this demon body was at least the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul, he had no confidence that he could win after fighting with it.

Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered violently, and finally gritted his teeth and decisively withdrew.

His original intention of coming here was to stop it if he could, and never intervene if he couldn't. At the moment, the demon's cultivation was far beyond his expectations, and staying would only lead to his death.

But just as he was about to move, a special wave suddenly came from his sea of ​​consciousness, causing him to pause and look back at the hideous demon body with an expression of disbelief.
