“Yes, that is indeed the constellation of Wei.” The women were also intelligent and immediately realized that the Yayu had shouted two names in its roar: one was Erfu and the other was Wei.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "It seems that the two people in the temple are his enemies. And the Weak Water has been unable to flood this temple. Obviously, in some way, this Yayu is restrained by this temple. Perhaps it has never been inside and is even less aware of the situation inside. Why don't I move out the statues of Wei and Erfu inside? Maybe it will have a miraculous effect."
Yan Xuehen, however, was somewhat worried: "But it seems that it is precisely because of the existence of this temple that the Weak Water has been suppressed and has not submerged this mountain. If the statues inside are dismantled, disrupting its layout, and it fails to achieve its intended purpose, then we will have no way to avoid it."
Looking down at the surging Weak Water, Zuan said solemnly, "Even if we fail, we'll just be swept into the Weak Water. We might not be unable to get out. On the contrary, if we do nothing, we'll be trapped here forever. We might never be able to solve this problem, and we'll never be able to leave this secret realm."
Yan Xuehen suddenly felt a little dazed. She thought that it wasn't unacceptable to never leave this secret realm again. At least she wouldn't have to face worldly ethics, strange relationships, and stares...
At this moment, Yun Jianyue said, "I agree with Xiao Anzi's statement. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Moreover, I think that since Wei was hung up in that position, he was obviously being punished for doing something wrong."
Yu Yanluo also expressed her agreement, so Yan Xuehen naturally couldn't say anything more.
Soon, Zu'an ran into the temple, brought out the hanging statue of Wei, and displayed it in front of Yayu: "Is this the Wei you mentioned? I don't know what grudge you have, but I suppose he was also subjected to extreme punishment and received his due punishment."
"Danger!" Upon seeing the statue, the Yayu's eyes widened in horror, and it began to spin around the statue incessantly.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to end up like this." The Yayu seemed to have not spoken for a long time. At first, its voice was very hoarse, but after speaking for a while, it was able to speak more clearly.
Suddenly, it pounced on the statue, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed it whole.
The group looked at each other in disbelief. They actually ate such a statue?
What grudge could this be?
The Yayu was crying one moment and laughing the next, as if it had gone mad.
After a while, it stared at the dilapidated temple: "Erfu, do you think punishing him will appease my resentment? You were the one who killed me back then!"
Upon hearing this, Zuan returned to the dilapidated temple, where a series of loud rumbling sounds came from inside.
He soon emerged with heavy steps, having actually managed to move the main statue out.
It's fortunate that he's now a cultivator with immense strength; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to present such a large statue to the Yayu.
"Erfu!" Upon seeing the statue with a human face and a snake's body, the Yayu's eyes widened, and it let out an angry roar.
Zuan said calmly, "Now that the real culprit has been found for you, settle your scores and avenge your wrongs."
The Yayu roared and pounced on it.
The group looked at it expectantly. How could it possibly eat such a large statue?
To their disappointment, the Yayu hesitated for a moment before finally not swallowing the statue. Instead, it tore at the statue with its claws, quickly leaving it in pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the Yayu roared repeatedly, its tail sweeping across like a long whip, instantly shattering the dilapidated temple into pieces.
Upon seeing the remains of the Erfu statue and the dilapidated temple reduced to a pile of rubble, the ferocious and twisted face of the Yayu gradually calmed down.
A black aura emanated from his body, and sunlight shone through the clouds, scattering across the earth.
The previously roaring Weak Water receded at a visible speed, quickly returning to its original state.
In that instant, the black aura around the Yayu dissipated, and a phantom with a human face and a snake's body slowly rose from its body. It was the soul that the giant hand had brought out when Zuan purified it earlier.
"Thank you all for rescuing me and allowing me to be completely free." The illusory figure was no longer as ruthless as before; on the contrary, its expression was extremely peaceful, like a kind old man.
The three women breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, nothing bad had happened.
Zu An also cupped his hands and asked, "What is your name, sir? Are you called Yayu?"
The phantom shook its head: "No, my name is Yayu."
They finally figured out how to write the two characters after the other person used gestures and explanations.
Everyone: "..."
There are also such strange and unusual names.
"What exactly happened? Why did you turn into a monster like the Yayu?" Zu'an asked curiously. He was actually more curious about why he, Erfu, and Wei had such a deep hatred for each other, but he didn't mention it for fear of upsetting him again.
The illusory figure sighed deeply: "It's a cruel twist of fate. Back then, Erfu and I were both human-faced snake-bodied, and both held very high positions. I was more peaceful and had always been well-liked. Erfu, on the other hand, was ruthless and loved killing. So people often compared the two of us."
"Erfu was naturally unhappy. If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, Erfu has a subordinate named Wei, who is extremely good at spreading rumors. I once offended him, so he held a grudge and started to sow discord between Erfu and me at every turn."
“Erfu was already dissatisfied, and under his instigation, they found an opportunity to join forces to ambush and kill me.”
"So after you died, you harbored resentment and transformed into this Yayu monster?" Yu Yanluo asked curiously.
The phantom shook its head: "That's not true. I did die then, but when the Heavenly Emperor learned of this, he pitied me for my kind nature and unjust death, so he had someone revive me with an elixir of immortality..."
"The elixir of immortality?" The group exclaimed in surprise. They hadn't expected to find another clue about the elixir of immortality here, and there was even a living example of someone who had indeed been saved.
Zu'an asked curiously, "Who is this Heavenly Emperor you're talking about?"
"The Heavenly Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor, who else could he be?" The illusory figure looked at him strangely, seemingly unable to understand why he would ask such a question.
Zuan had no choice but to explain, and the illusory figure shook its head and said, "I don't know if it's because of the loss of my soul that I've forgotten some of my memories or something. I don't know the Heavenly Emperor's name either. I only know that it seems that everyone has called him that since ancient times."
Zuan and the others were secretly alarmed, wondering what kind of existence this Heavenly Emperor was. Could he really be the emperor of the celestial beings?
That strength must be terrifying.
Then the phantom continued, "However, after I was revived, I did not return to my original form. In a daze, I fell into the Weak Water and became a monster like the Yayu. Because hatred and resentment filled my soul, this Yayu is completely opposite to my personality in life. It is fierce and domineering, poisoning living beings everywhere. Fortunately, I have your help, which has allowed me to be completely freed from that nightmarish cycle of reincarnation."
Zuan and the others suddenly felt a chill run down their spines: "Wait, you mean you ate the elixir of immortality, and although you came back to life, you turned into this mindless monster?"
