793: Chapter 793 Possessed by Evil!

Ye Chen looked at the two eccentric Taoists and sighed, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Take us up to have a look."

The Fat Taoist suddenly raised his head, his face filled with terror.

"Ah? Still going up? It's not that..."

"Expert, although you are powerful, the Abbot, he..."

"I am not an ordinary person either," Ye Chen interrupted him. "I might be able to solve your Abbot's problem."

The Fat Taoist and Thin Taoist exchanged a glance, their eyes full of doubt.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Ye Chen's strength.

After all...

They had just witnessed it earlier.

But the Abbot's problem was not a matter of strength.

It was a deviation in cultivation; even the Abbot himself couldn't control it.

They had seen several people who claimed to be Experts go up to help, only to either be chased all over the mountain by the Abbot or beaten black and blue and rolled down the mountain.

The most miserable one...

It was said to be an elder from a major sect; he was thrown out of the Taoist temple by the Abbot in less than three minutes, breaking three ribs.

After that, no one dared to go up to help anymore.

Otherwise...

Given the reputation of their Taoist temple, it wouldn't be this miserable.

The Fat Taoist swallowed hard.

"Expert, are... are you really sure you want to go up?"

"When the Abbot goes crazy, he doesn't even recognize his own family!"

"Stop talking nonsense, lead the way immediately." Ye Chen grew impatient.

Seeing that Ye Chen was angry, the Fat Taoist hesitated for a moment.

Infinite Heavenly Venerable!

Since the other party wants to try, why not just go along with him?

If the other party really has no ability and gets beaten down the mountain...

Then it has nothing to do with them!

Thinking of this.

He gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground.

"Fine! Expert, I will take you up!"

"But if anything goes wrong, you must take us both and run!"

They were still young and didn't want to fall here just like that!

Ye Chen didn't even turn his head, waving his hand.

The Fat Taoist took a deep breath, quickly caught up with Ye Chen, and led the way in front.

The Thin Taoist was not to be outdone, jogging to follow.

Yan Qingwu walked at the very back, watching the backs of the three people in front, her lips curving slightly upward.

She suddenly felt that this trip to Nanxun was becoming more and more interesting.

...

The stone steps were not long, and a Taoist temple soon appeared before their eyes.

The plaque above the main gate bore the three large characters [Guanxing Temple].

The Fat Taoist pushed open the gate and walked in, only to discover...

The courtyard was very quiet, abnormally quiet.

Not only were there no insect chirps or bird calls, but even the sound of the wind had stopped.

The air seemed to have solidified, pressing down on people until they couldn't breathe.

The Fat Taoist took out a flashlight, swept it around the courtyard, and then spoke with a tremble.

"Expert, don't you think this place is exceptionally..."

Before he could finish.

The Thin Taoist beside him finished his sentence: "Eerie."

The Fat Taoist nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's eerie!"

Ye Chen did not answer, but his gaze was fixed straight on the dim main hall.

The door of the main hall was tightly shut, but a wisp of black energy, almost invisible to the naked eye, was faintly emanating from the crack in the door.

"Is your Abbot inside?" Ye Chen asked calmly.

The Fat Taoist smiled bitterly.

"I suppose so..."

"He usually stays in the main hall at night, locking himself inside and not letting us get close."

Just as he finished speaking.

"Bang!!!"

The door of the main hall exploded without warning.

As wood splinters flew everywhere, a thick black energy surged out from within the door, instantly sweeping across half the courtyard.

The strange thing was.

Amidst the black energy, a dark figure rushed out from the door.

It was an old man with gray hair, but his whole body was wrapped in black energy.

"Ah!!!"

The Fat Taoist screamed, his flashlight flew out of his hand, and he turned and ran.

The Thin Taoist was even more exaggerated, scrambling and crawling toward the gate.

At the same time.

He kept muttering incessantly.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable! Abbot, please don't hit me!"

"I am your favorite little disciple!"

Seeing this scene, Yan Qingwu's expression changed instantly, and she subconsciously reached for her sword.

But...

Ye Chen was faster than her.

He took a step forward and instantly disappeared from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already standing beside the Abbot.

Then.

With a flick of his finger, countless beams of light landed on the Abbot's body, instantly sealing all his meridians.

So much so that.

The Abbot's body stiffened on the spot, as if held hostage by a mysterious force, unable to move a single inch.

But Ye Chen did not stop.

He flipped his right hand, shot out a Silver Needle, and stabbed it into the center of the Abbot's forehead.

"Hum—"

A humming sound rippled out.

On the Silver Needle, golden light followed the end of the needle and submerged into the Abbot's body.

The next moment.

The black energy on the Abbot's body surged wildly and began to swirl around him.

In the span of a few breaths.

The swirling black energy had turned into a black vortex.

"Wha... what is happening?"

The Thin Taoist looked back and slumped to the ground.

The Fat Taoist also realized something was wrong and stammered: "My Infinite Heavenly Venerable, does he... really have a way to cure the Abbot?"

"If even he can't cure it, I doubt there are many people in the world who could."

Yan Qingwu heard this and explained nonchalantly.

The Fat Taoist and Thin Taoist's expressions changed instantly upon hearing this.

Good heavens!

So they had encountered a great opportunity and invited an incredible person?

But before they could think it through.

Those black energies that had turned into a vortex began to drift out from the Abbot's forehead along the Silver Needle.

Then.

They turned into ash and dissipated without a trace.

When all the black energy had dissipated, the Abbot rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

The courtyard was quiet for two seconds.

The Fat Taoist was the first to snap out of it and rushed over.

"Abbot! What happened to you?!"

He crouched down and reached out to check the old Taoist's breathing.

It turned out...

He was still breathing!

The Thin Taoist also crawled over: "Abbot, don't scare us? If something happens to you, what will we brothers do?"

The two scrambled to help the old Taoist up from the ground, letting him lean against them.

The Fat Taoist raised his head, looking at Ye Chen, his eyes full of terror.

"Expert, what is wrong with the Abbot?"

Ye Chen took back the Silver Needle and explained calmly.

"He is not suffering from cultivation deviation, but is possessed."

The Fat Taoist and Thin Taoist: "???"

No...

Does it have to be so terrifying?

In this world, is there really such a thing as possession?

They were Taoists.

But they never believed in these things...

Ye Chen looked up towards the back mountain.

"It is a very ancient thing that attached itself to him and controlled his consciousness."

"During the daytime, the yang energy is heavy, so that thing lies dormant, which is why he is like a normal person."

"At night, the yin energy is strong, so that thing becomes active, which is why he turned into what you saw."

The Thin Taoist was dumbfounded: "Expert, is there really such a thing in this day and age?"

Ye Chen glanced at him.

"You, a Taoist practitioner, actually don't believe in this?"

"There are many things in this world that you haven't seen."

The Fat Taoist swallowed hard: "Then... is the Abbot okay now?"

"He is fine now."

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze, "I helped him exorcise the evil, that thing has dissipated, and he will wake up soon."

Just as he finished speaking.

The Abbot's eyelids moved.

The Fat Taoist and Thin Taoist lowered their heads at the same time, only to see the Abbot's eyelids move again, and then slowly open.

His eyes regained clarity, without the brutality from before, only a bit confused.

"Where am I..."

Looking at the confused Abbot.

The Fat Taoist's tears suddenly gushed out: "You finally woke up! Do you know you scared us to death!"

The Thin Taoist also cried.

"Abbot... it's been a full half a year!"

"Do you know how we have spent this past half year?"

"In the past half year, this is the first time you have been able to stay clear-headed at night!"

The Abbot slowly regained his senses, his mind racing.

He then remembered.

"I have indeed not been normal at night for half a year."

The Abbot looked up and couldn't help but ask, "Who saved me?"

Ye Chen heard this and squatted in front of him: "It was me."

"May I ask your honorable name?"

The Abbot immediately struggled to stand up, "I am Tianyang Zi, thank you for your help!"

Ye Chen pressed his shoulder and said calmly.

"My name is Ye Chen, no need to get excited, just answer a few questions for me."

Ye Chen?

Tianyang Zi's pupils suddenly constricted.

There was only one person who could help him and was named Ye Chen...

That was the Deputy Leader of the Dragon Group!

Never expected that he would actually come here!

And.

He even saved his life!

This was simply his luck!

After all.

That power was truly too terrifying.

Thinking about how he had been tortured by that strange power until he couldn't live or die, he felt a lingering fear.

The next second.

He hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, whatever you want to ask, just ask. As long as I know, I will not hide a single word."

"Before you were possessed, where had you been?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, word by word, "I hope you can answer truthfully, telling me everything from beginning to end. This will be good for everyone."
