203: No one will come to save you even if you scream at the top of your lungs!

“You mean, you came to the county office alone?”

“Not only that, it’s possible to come here alone, but you shouldn’t have, for the sake of restoring Yan Chixia’s image, also carried Yan Chixia’s sword box.”

Chu Mo pushed up his non-existent glasses and waved his hand at Tree Demon Grandma, who had possessed Yan Chixia. “I am a Sword Cultivator, and a top-tier Sword Cultivator at that. It’s perfectly normal for me to perceive the emotions of a sword, isn’t it!?”

Tree Demon Grandma: “……”

I’ve chanted more scriptures than you, so don’t try to fool me!

A Sword Cultivator can perceive the emotions of a sword?!

“You don’t understand swords!” Chu Mo’s sleeve subtly rippled, a faint red glow flashed and disappeared, and then he stomped his foot on the ground and continued, “You also forgot one point. Although Yan Chixia has a Sanskrit Buddhist scripture on him, he doesn’t practice Buddhist methods. When you chanted the Vajra Talisman, the scriptures on it clearly had Spiritual Qi flowing, which proves that you possess Buddhist nature. This kind of Buddhist nature cannot be acquired by someone who hasn’t listened to chanting for many years.”

“Even if what you say is correct, you won’t be able to leave here today, because Black Mountain Old Demon has already arrived, and he brought his friends from Hell. You are doomed!”

Tree Demon Grandma let out a strange, extremely unpleasant laugh, neither male nor female, and then the skin on Yan Chixia’s face began to bulge.

Clearly, he intended to break free from the restraints by self-destructing Yan Chixia’s Physical Body from within.

“Being imprisoned in the body by Black Mountain Old Demon is your fate. The people here will suffer endless torment for generations!”

Tree Demon Grandma spoke harshly, and Yan Chixia’s Physical Body had already reached its limit. Blood seeped from all seven orifices, and his body was about to explode.

White Cloud Zen Master had already rushed forward the moment Tree Demon Grandma spoke.

“Quick, stop him! After he breaks free, his Primordial Spirit will definitely escape underground and merge with his main body!”

However, no matter how White Cloud Zen Master reminded them, Chu Mo and the others remained indifferent, still watching everything coldly.

“Old monk, you found these crooked melons and rotten dates to deal with me; you’ve chosen the wrong people…”

As he was speaking, Tree Demon Grandma’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

White Cloud Zen Master, who was rushing towards Tree Demon Grandma, also slammed on the brakes, his legs pushing against the ground, widening the distance between them.

Ten strangely shaped banners emerged from underground, standing upright around Tree Demon Grandma.

Eerie black light shone on his face.

Wisps of black smoke began to envelop his body, and incredibly peculiar scriptures emanated from the banners, like the chanting of Hell’s evil spirits.

Tree Demon Grandma, who occupied Yan Chixia’s Physical Body, let out a painful shriek under these eerie chants.

Yan Chixia’s Physical Body also returned to normal.

At the same time, countless strange Talismans rose within the county office, forming a barrier that separated it from the outside world.

Immediately after, sounds of chains emanated from these banners, and countless chains pierced into Yan Chixia’s Physical Body, pulling Tree Demon Grandma’s illusory Primordial Spirit out alive.

“Ten Thousand Souls Banner!! Soul-Locking Chains!!”

White Cloud Zen Master’s face was filled with horror as he turned to look at Chu Mo. He never expected that the other party was truly an evil cultivator.

Shi Fang also realized something was amiss and quietly moved closer to his master, subtly pulling out his master’s Magic Treasure from his basket for protection.

Especially that golden Buddha, which was the most powerful Magic Treasure of their temple. Combined with his master’s cultivation, they should be able to leave here alive…

At this moment, Chu Mo formed hand seals, urging the ten Human Emperor Flag sub-banners to continuously pull Tree Demon Grandma’s Primordial Spirit, intending to forcibly drag it in and refine it.

Tree Demon Grandma’s Primordial Spirit was tightly bound by the Soul-Locking Chains, completely unable to escape. Moreover, these chains were even inscribed with runes specifically targeting Primordial Spirits.

He panicked, truly panicked.

Originally, he was extremely smug and composed, relying on Black Mountain Old Demon and Nine-tailed Demon Fox to fight together.

But now.

He had made one careless move and fallen into this evil cultivator’s Dao.

“Black Mountain Old Demon! Save me!!”

Tree Demon Grandma desperately called for help, but his voice could not be transmitted outside; only those within the county office could hear him.

“Shout, keep shouting! Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you!” Chu Mo’s face bore a sinister smile, not looking like a good person.

Nie Xiaoqian and Xiao Zhuo, for a moment, couldn’t distinguish who was righteous and who was evil.

Are these the words of a righteous person?

Which righteous person would say: Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you?!

Realizing that he had been set up, Tree Demon Grandma became even more terrified. A tree demon who had achieved sentience like him had a desire for life that could not be described in words.

“Let me go! If you let me go, I can give you all the female ghosts in Lan Ruo Temple!” Tree Demon Grandma was in a panic. At this moment, he no longer cared about his agreement with Black Mountain Old Demon and quickly looked at Shi Fang and Nie Xiaoqian.

“Both of them are Extreme Yin bodies. After death, they will turn into Yin ghosts and will also be excellent cauldrons. Absorbing their Yin essence has even more benefits. As long as you let me go, they will all be yours!”

“I’m very curious, they’ve been on our side all along, how do you have the nerve to say that?” Chu Mo pulled out the Human Emperor Flag main banner and pointed at the somewhat bewildered Nie Xiaoqian and Xiao Zhuo, “If I kill you, won’t all these female ghosts be mine anyway? Why would I need you to give them to me?!”

“……” Tree Demon Grandma was stunned for several seconds.

Those words, there’s nothing wrong with them!

But those words would also cut off his own chance at survival!

Nie Xiaoqian and Xiao Zhuo finally confirmed it: this person was an evil cultivator!! A 100% pure one!

“Old monk! Old Chan Master! Save me! As long as you save me, I not only promise to lay down my butcher knife and convert to Buddhism, but I’ll also join you in dealing with this evil cultivator, and with Black Mountain Old Demon and Nine-tailed Demon Fox!”

Seeing that he couldn’t move Chu Mo, this evil cultivator, with benefits, Tree Demon Grandma simply resorted to ‘laying down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot,’ attempting to persuade White Cloud Zen Master to deal with Chu Mo together.

However, White Cloud Zen Master ignored Tree Demon Grandma’s words about abandoning evil for good. His gaze remained on the other few individuals.

Qi Xuan and Li Tian Ce were fine; they were all humans. Although they were not ordinary people, they were not as sinister as the other three.

One snake demon.

One zombie.

One heterodox practitioner.

Plus an evil cultivator who wielded the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, was proficient in Buddhist and Daoist Spells, could set up formations and draw Talismans, and also cultivated the Dao of the Sword.

This kind of sinister lineup truly made him wonder which side was righteous and which side was evil.

“Chan Master, this Prodigy made you turn your spear against us with just a few words. It seems your cultivation isn’t complete yet!”

Is it my cultivation that isn’t complete? Who wouldn’t question life when they see your lineup? And ponder whether they’ve been fighting the wrong people?!

The Buddhist beads in White Cloud Zen Master’s hand slid back and forth. His heart was a little chaotic; he himself didn’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, Tree Demon Grandma was already struggling to resist, desperately shouting towards the sky, “Black Mountain Old Demon, save me, quickly save me…”

His voice could not penetrate the barrier and reach the outside world. Tree Demon Grandma was, after all, merely struggling in his death throes.
