"Uncle Chen, what's going on here? I feel like there's something strange about this place!"

When Ji Xinglan saw us come in, she stood up, and Lin Momo was protecting her with her body.

"As I just told you, most of the monks in this temple are not normal and have been controlled by someone!"

Their greed and lust have been greatly amplified, making them very different from normal people!

The monks had already noticed you when you arrived, so after we parted, they quickly rushed into your room!

I looked around and came to a simple conclusion, which Ji Xinglan nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Uncle Chen! As soon as you left, those monks came in. Xi was quite nice at first, but he kept staring at my body!"

After Ji Xinglan finished speaking, she squeezed out a few tears, making her look pitiful and aggrieved.

But I don't believe it at all, because Ji Xinglan's body is currently surging with power.

If they really start fighting, I feel like Ji Xinglan could smash the top of someone's head with one slap!

Ji Xinglan's power level is on a completely different level from that of these monks; it's far superior.

I focused my gaze on Lin Momo's puppet, which was still oozing blood.

His eyes were constantly shining.

I closed my eyes and scanned the area again with my "Heavenly Eye," and this time I made a different discovery!

This time, the puppet possessed a new, complex energy, unlike any I had ever seen before.

He is above all power; I can feel a strong sense of oppression just by observing him closely!

"Ji Xinglan! Starting today, it's best to use this thing sparingly. I'll put it away for you now, and you shouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary!"

I quickly deciphered one of the formations, and then took out the last roll of paper from the booklet.

This roll of paper was originally intended for drawing, but I've already finished one drawing, so I just took the rest of the paper with me.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at a crucial moment.

I threw the scroll out directly, and it suddenly unfurled. I formed a hand seal at my feet, and the same golden pattern appeared on the scroll as before.

This is a special formation I created.

"Not bad, Old Chen. This is the He family's seal certificate, and you actually managed to learn it!"

Luo Tianhe, who was standing next to me, stared wide-eyed at this, then patted my shoulder and praised me.

I ignored Luo Tianhe's gaze and continued to form hand seals. Finally, I incorporated Lin Momo's puppet into the scroll.

I carefully rolled up the painting and put it into the album, then rubbed my temples with both hands.

Right now, I really have a headache!

These monks, one after another, were already giving me a headache, and then there's the uncontrollable factor of Lin Momo.

I have no idea what Lin Momo is anymore.

Just now, Lin Momo, the puppet, was emanating a strong aura of malevolence, which was not what one would expect from a puppet.

"I won't use this puppet again until I've figured it out!"

I walked over to Ji Xinglan and explained something to her.

Ji Xinglan raised her head and gave a slight "hmm" to indicate that she already knew.

However, at that moment, Abbot Hongshi arrived.

"Esteemed benefactors, what exactly is going on here!"

The abbot was startled by the scene before him, and his body trembled involuntarily.

The abbot had never expected this situation.

"It's simple. Your monks were trying to take advantage of my people, but luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise they would have succeeded!"

I stared coldly at the abbot, wanting him to give an explanation, but to my surprise, the abbot's expression remained blank.

At this moment, I began to feel confused. Could it be that the abbot was completely unaware of this? Was the reason these people had become like this because there was someone else in the temple?

"My lord, I am innocent! My children are all very good people; they would never do such a thing!"

I almost peed my pants when I saw this part. I wiped my tears with my sleeve and patiently explained it to me.

I became increasingly skeptical of the abbot's abilities.

From this perspective, this abbot doesn't seem like a capable person at all; on the contrary, he seems like a coward.

The problem is that the energy inside his body is indeed very strong.

An identity can be faked, but the energy within the body cannot be faked.

No sooner had the abbot finished speaking than several more monks arrived, their eyes bloodshot, rushing into the room like zombies.

They were very purposeful. There were about 20 monks in this group. They split into two lines and hopped into the room like zombies. Their target was Ji Xinglan.

At this moment, Lei Jijian didn't hold back and flew out, unleashing a set of spiral sword techniques, causing the zombie monks to fall to the ground.

The Thunder Strike Sword began to greedily absorb the energy from their bodies, and of course, it also shared some with me.

I nodded slightly and glanced calmly at Lei Jijian. This guy is actually quite sensible now.

At least now he'll leave me something; before, he really wouldn't have left me anything at all.

Hongshi could only watch helplessly as his monks were killed.

I used my third eye to continue observing the energy inside Redstone's body until I discovered the anomaly.

Because these energies showed no fluctuation whatsoever, they were as if they were fake.

Normal energy levels fluctuate depending on physical condition and emotional state.

However, the energy within Redstone's body did not react in the slightest.

I ignored Redstone and walked straight up to him, placing my hand on his stomach.

The area on the belly is where its energy resides.

"What are you doing, benefactor! This has nothing to do with me!"

Abbot Hongshi was almost scared to death; he was probably afraid I would smash his stomach open with one blow.

I placed my hand on his stomach and sucked hard; my face turned ashen.

This isn't energy at all; it's just a yellow stone.

I increased the force and pulled it straight up.

The abbot coughed violently and spat out a stone from his mouth.

The stone was about the size of a glass marble and emitted a white-yellow light.

There's nothing particularly special about this stone; its only notable feature is the energy it emits.

These are the things I just saw with my third eye.

I instantly had the illusion that I had been tricked.

Just now I really thought that Abbot Hongshi was a highly accomplished monk.
