When I heard those words, I felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Oh shit!

I'm reminded of a TV series I watched before, where a secret agent said the same thing after his identity was discovered.

My heart suddenly started racing, and I quickly kicked the head.

Abbot Hongshi's head was kicked away like a ball, flying a great distance.

As for the body, I put down the magical artifact in my hand, picked up the corpse, and threw it away.

Then, the head suddenly exploded in the yard, but the body didn't change much.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded when they saw this.

"Brother Chen, what's going on? Why did that old guy explode?"

Old Dao's eyes widened like copper bells, never expecting that Abbot Hongshi would pull such a trick at the crucial moment.

I clutched my chest. Thankfully, my body reacted and gave me a warning when it was about to explode; otherwise, I might have actually perished.

"Uncle Chen, he just mentioned the Demon Lord, which means that the one providing power to this temple is the Demon Lord! I never imagined that such a thing was hidden inside this temple!"

Ji Xinglan covered her mouth with her small hand, still not fully recovered from the scene before her.

"What scum! Although I look down on monks, what they did was truly spineless!"

Luo Tianhe slammed his fist directly into the wall, clearly furious.

"Old Luo, don't hold a grudge over this. No matter which one it is, there are good and bad aspects. It just so happens that we've encountered the bad one!"

I patted Lao Luo on the shoulder, telling Luo Tianhe to calm down. After I persuaded him, Luo Tianhe calmed down.

"Let's go. Since Redstone calls him the Demon Lord, I'd like to know what exactly this Demon Lord is!"

I'm becoming increasingly interested in the opposing Demon Lord.

"Get out of here! If you come even half a step closer, you die!"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from the entrance, and when I heard it, I felt an urge to step back.

These are things etched into our genes.

"Wow! That voice is kind of terrifying!"

Luo Tianhe rubbed his ears and leaned slightly closer to me.

"Being able to transmit power through sound, this demon must be incredibly powerful!"

I rubbed my ear, and there was blood in it, obviously due to the force I had just experienced.

I deliberately feigned weakness, revealing just the slightest flaw.

At this point, I've begun to conclude that the current Demon Lord doesn't possess any real power.

His only ability is probably to transfer energy through sound, and that's about it.

"Heh, Demon Lord, is it? If you really are that kind of powerful demon, I've offended you now, you can just take my life!"

Although I verbally showed weakness just now, I still had no intention of backing down at all, and I walked even faster.

Luo Tianhe was a little surprised by what I said, but probably out of trust in me, he still chose to follow.

Needless to say, Old Knife Ant is my loyal follower. Wherever I tell them to go, they'll go. Their teamwork is quite good.

Ji Xinglan was truly terrified; her fair legs were trembling uncontrollably.

But he gritted his teeth and followed.

"I warned you, if you continue forward, I will attack you. Even if you can withstand it, can the people around you withstand it?"

The voice continued, and I could clearly hear fear in it.

Sure enough, he was very afraid of me here.

Humans fear ghosts three parts, ghosts fear humans seven parts. Although this isn't about ghosts, but demons, ultimately it's the same thing.

I pulled Ji Xinglan and the others deeper inside. Every time we walked about ten meters, the voice would start reminding us, and each time we had to change the terminology. Eventually, it just begged us for mercy.

"Master! Please, spare me! I really didn't mean to deceive you!"

The strange sound started again.

I could hear the fear in his voice, and I almost laughed. Sure enough, he was all bark and no bite.

If that's the case, I should have gone even faster. I sped up, and when it sensed my speed, the voice cried.

"Okay, stop, stop! I beg you, please stop! I was wrong, I've never hurt anyone!"

The strange voice finally panicked and lost its earlier confidence.

However, I still have no intention of letting this go; hesitation will only lead to more trouble!

"Old Chen, do you think the 'Don't harm the innocent' part of that booklet refers to this?"

Just as I was about to go in, Luo Tianhe stopped me and asked me a question.

I shook my head.

"Impossible! You need to understand, a demon is a demon. If this guy has evil energy, he can't be innocent. Don't be fooled by his sweet talk!"

I patted Luo Tianhe on the shoulder and told him that this was definitely not true.

I sensed an evil aura emanating from this guy.

Moreover, from Abbot Hongshi's demeanor, I could roughly sense that this demon was definitely not a good thing.

While I may lack power, I absolutely refuse to believe that I've never done anything wrong.

So, no matter how much the voice begged for mercy, we didn't stop. Finally, we arrived at a secret room.

Ji Xinglan twitched her nose and then told us that the bloody smell seemed to be getting stronger.

The secret room was locked, blocked by a stone door, but the door was useless.

I gave Lao Dao a look, and Lao Dao immediately understood and rushed over to kick me.

Soon the thing fell apart, revealing the space inside.

I originally thought there would be many women in this secret room, after all, Ji Xinglan also said that the bloody smell he smelled was somewhat like the smell of a woman after her period.

But upon entering the secret room, there was nothing there.

"Let's split up and search. I refuse to believe that someone here is truly innocent!"

I gave the order for everyone to split up and search for the contents of the room, and so everyone scattered.

My gaze was drawn to the one-ton sculpture at that moment.

This is a statue of a child, who looks like a beautifully sculpted girl, but a demonic aura keeps emanating from her face.
