Suddenly, the expressions on Wen He and Shen Yan's faces changed. Without any hesitation, they rushed towards the direction where the scream came from.

It had to be said that although Wen He and Shen Yan had prepared themselves thoroughly, both the legends they had heard about the Guanxing Temple and everything they saw before them told them that the situation was going to be dire. However, when they rushed in, everything they saw before them still made their faces turn extremely grim, and it was beyond the simple word "terrible" to describe it.

Before my eyes, the massive seal had been lifted, yet the seal showed no signs of damage or destruction. It was obvious that it had been manually undone. The answer to who had undone such a seal was almost obvious. Who else could it be besides the abbot who had entered this hall? Only the abbot of each generation could master the method of unlocking the seal.

But this was not the reason why Wen He and Shen Yan's expressions turned serious. If the abbot was the culprit who opened the seal, they would have felt it vaguely the moment they felt the Yin energy spreading outside. What really made them unbelievable was that the abbot in front of them did not just unlock the seal that sealed the big monster. What appeared before their eyes was a monster with a sinister face. It was clearly the appearance of the abbot, but it was no longer the appearance of the abbot. Horns symbolizing monsters grew on his head, and his face was covered with black textures.

But this is not a sign of Yin Qi erosion. Yin Qi erosion will make people lose their reason and become almost out of control while being enveloped by Yin Qi. However, the abbot in front of him remained rational, and next to him was a huge monster that was three meters tall and exuded thick Yin Qi. At the moment Wen He and Shen Yan rushed in, he was grabbing the neck of the little monk Changsheng with his hands, wanting to sacrifice him to the big monster beside him.

And all of this has only one possibility, it's not the erosion of Yin Qi, but...

"Raising a Yin creature! You are raising a Yin creature! The seal wasn't just lifted, it was already released long before this!"

Almost immediately, Chen Yan blurted out this word. Faced with the truth being revealed, the demonized abbot's face showed no panic. Instead, the moment their eyes met, he smiled with extraordinary joy. "You finally discovered it, Tang Yan. You are indeed worthy of being my adopted son with excellent metaphysical talent. You saw at a glance that I was raising Yin creatures. But unfortunately, I was just a little bit away from my dream coming true. Then, the world will know who is the true master of metaphysics, who is the most talented person. It's me, the abbot of the 'Stargazing Temple', not you, a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair!"

Having said this, the abbot in front of him was already mad. It was obvious that the other party had mistaken Shen Yan for the Buddhist disciple Tang Yan. Now that Shen Yan showed up like this, it further stimulated the madness in the abbot's eyes.

Now that I think about it, the young monk Changsheng might not have noticed the abbot following him by chance. After all, this is considered the sealed forbidden area of ​​Guanxing Temple. Ordinary people have to enter, and even monks with more experience may not be able to enter smoothly. What's more, he is just a young monk? It's likely that from the very beginning, the young monk didn't follow the abbot by accident, but that the abbot deliberately wanted to be discovered and let the young monk follow closely. Otherwise, the journey from the outer courtyard to the main hall inside would not be so smooth and unobstructed.

Not to mention, for the big monster that had just been released from the seal, a sacrifice was urgently needed, and now, the little monk who "accidentally" entered the hall just happened to become such a sacrifice.

Facing the abbot's misidentification, Chen Yan's brows knitted slightly, as if he was thinking about something. When he spoke again, he played along and spoke directly as 'Buddhist disciple Tang Yan', "Oh, is that so? But do you think that just because the demon has fallen, you can replace me and surpass me? Abbot, I see that you are old and can't even distinguish such a little essence. It's not because I have taken away your prestige and your name, but no matter how hard you try, no matter what methods you use, you can't erase my existence in other people's memories. Even if I die, everyone will only call you... the adoptive father of that Buddhist disciple. Am I right, Abbot?"

Provocation, this is a provocation, a direct provocation without any detours. He almost said to the abbot directly: Look, no matter what you do, you can't surpass me, because the difference between you and me is not just as simple as age or strength, but talent and reputation. He is born to stand at a high position and it is very easy to leave a memory in the eyes of others, but the abbot can't do these. The abbot has been the abbot of the "Star Viewing Temple" for so many years, and the popularity has not been attracted by it in the past three years since the appearance of the Buddhist disciple Tang Yan!

Chen Yan did not say these words out loud, but the look on his face explained everything. This scene seemed to have directly stimulated the abbot's pain point. He stared at Chen Yan with an ugly face. The huge monster behind him was even more excited. He was excited by the wonderful taste of darkness and powerful spiritual power. His eyes were full of greed when he looked at Chen Yan.

Almost there, just a little bit more, the exorcism formation will be completed.

Wen He, who had huddled aside and hidden earlier, had already vaguely sensed Shen Yan's purpose when Shen Yan "took advantage of the situation" and pretended to be a Buddhist disciple Tang Yan to provoke the abbot: to buy time. He was buying time for her, and she wanted to use this little bit of time to take back the little Changsheng over there, so that they would not be in a passive position!

Almost immediately, Wen He bit his fingertips and forced out the thoughts in his mind, and began to draw the highest level exorcism formation. His hands moved quickly, but because of the large amount of spiritual energy consumed by the highest level exorcism formation, Wen He's face, which had just been rosy, turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were even a little blurry.

Wen He knew that this was a warning of severe spiritual power consumption. According to her current strength, drawing such a top-level exorcism array would almost consume all of her spiritual power. Wen He could not even guarantee whether the top-level exorcism array in front of her could play a role. But now, Wen He no longer cared about so much. Even if it didn't play a big role, it didn't matter. They only needed such a moment of restraint to get the little monk back from the hands of the god of death!

And now, it was just a little bit, just a little bit more. If she had three more seconds, the formation would be formed. But at this moment, the abbot, who was stimulated by Chen Yan, suddenly stopped and did not move forward. Instead, he turned his eyes and suddenly met Wen He's eyes. Immediately, Wen He's pupils shrank. She knew that she had been discovered without her knowing. The abbot's face showed an extremely excited look, and he said something very quickly. The big monster behind him rushed straight towards Wen He, opening its mouth to bite her who had exposed her position.

It was over. She couldn't avoid it now. She couldn't stop. If she stopped, the high-level exorcism array that was almost completed would be directly destroyed. Then, both she and Chen Yan would be at a disadvantage! No, she couldn't let go! In almost a flash, Wen He made a gritted teeth decision and simply accelerated her movements, vowing to complete the high-level exorcism array. She had no intention of avoiding it at all.

At this moment, when the big monster was about to touch Wen He, a figure rushed towards Wen He, abruptly interrupting the exorcism formation at the moment it was about to be completed, and directly destroyed the formation. When he looked up, he was met with Chen Yan's furious expression. He grabbed Wen He's collar and shouted: "Wen He! What on earth did you just do? Do you want to die?!"

"But it's just a little bit, just a little bit, and the formation can be completed..." Wen He, who was suddenly pulled by the collar and scolded, was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have never seen Chen Yan lose his composure like this. Her mind was stuck for a moment, and she explained it almost subconsciously.

However, before Wen He could finish her words, she felt her body being pulled towards her with great force. Before she could say anything, she was held tightly in Chen Yan's arms. The temperature in his arms was not warm at all, just like him, cold and lonely. But at this moment, the slight trembling touch coming from the opposite side made Wen He suddenly feel warm. It seemed that even though Chen Yan had not said anything at this moment, she also understood what he wanted to say.

But it was obvious that now was not the time to say or explain anything. Shen Yan's action made the abbot suddenly stunned. The next moment, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed crazily, "Hahaha, I changed my mind. I never thought that my always aloof adopted son would have such an emotional side. You are right. My talent will never be as good as yours. Even if I practice for another few decades, I am afraid it will not be as good as your three years of practice. But... I can destroy you in another way. For example, this little monk in my hand, I remember that you picked him up and brought him up. It would be a pity to just let him serve as food for the monster. Why not have some fun and let this little monk fall into the devil with me?"

The next moment, the abbot with a crazy face waved to the big monster behind him. The big monster received the order and took action immediately. He grabbed the little monk Changsheng, who was struggling to break free, with one hand. The dark yin energy penetrated into the little monk's body along his five fingers. Suddenly, it was as if some monster was tearing at his body. Changsheng's face showed a look of despair, fear, and madness for a while, and a look of pleading, disbelief, and righteous resistance for a while. It was like two people, one bright and one dark, were constantly tearing each other in Changsheng. Gradually, the bright side of justice was gradually swallowed up, and there were more and more dark traces on his face, and even his body began to change towards the direction of the monster.

This is the change that occurs when the Yin energy invades to a certain extent. The thick Yin energy will continuously dig out the dark side of people's hearts and magnify it exponentially. When the remaining faith is completely devoured, they will fall into the devil and become one of the monsters. Now, the little monk is obviously changing in that direction.

However, Wen He and Shen Yan could do nothing. The exorcism formation was interrupted and could not be formed. At the moment, Shen Yan also exposed his fatal weakness. What was worse was that because of the depletion of spiritual power, Wen He could not even complete the simplest low-level formation.

Just when they could only watch the young monk Changsheng about to fall into the devil, the sound of weapons suddenly rang out in the hall, and a cinnabar sword broke through the air and went straight through the wrist of the big monster, making a big hole and nailing it deeply into the pillar behind it.

In an instant, Yin energy overflowed, and the monster felt pain. The huge Yin energy just rampaged around without restraint. However, all this did not seem to change the visitor's expression at all. He muttered something, and the moment the cinnabar sword was summoned back, he directly drew a line across the palm of his hand with the blood as a catalyst. The cinnabar color on the sword suddenly became brighter, and the spiritual energy became more prosperous. The visitor did not hesitate at all. He jumped directly, swung the sword hard, and actually cut off the big monster's right hand. At the critical moment, he saved the little monk Changsheng.

When Tang Yan's calm and composed face appeared in the abbot's field of vision, he was already furious. He glanced back and forth between Shen Yan and Tang Yan, and instantly understood something. A hoarse voice gurgled from his throat, "Tang Yan—it's you, you are the true Buddha's disciple Tang Yan!!"

"It's me, Abbot. I thought you were so corrupted you couldn't even recognize me. It seems your brain isn't completely broken yet. And... time has passed by at least half a year faster than I initially expected. Are you already impatient for me to disappear?"

Can't you wait for me to die? Can't you wait for me to disappear? When Tang Yan said this, his face didn't change at all. Instead, Xiao Changsheng beside him was shocked. Almost out of instinct, he subconsciously hugged Tang Yan tightly, fearing that he would really die.

Tang Yan patted Xiao Changsheng's head lightly, observed Xiao Changsheng's condition, and saw that a lot of Yin Qi had entered his body. His brows couldn't help but furrowed, and he didn't know what he thought of. He fumbled around his neck with one hand, took out a jade pendant, and hung it around Xiao Changsheng's neck. Only then was the Yin Qi suddenly suppressed.

And that jade pendant was nothing else but a jade plate, which was almost exactly the same as the one she was wearing. Wen He recognized it at a glance.

But it is not the same jade plate. Even though the carvings and patterns on it are exactly the same, it does not have the "symbiotic array" added by Chen Yanhou, and it is not made of the same piece of jade. It is obvious that the jade plate in Wen He's hand is made of a whiter jade?
