Chapter 318: Chapter 308: It Doesn’t Matter Chapter 318: Chapter 308: It Doesn’t Matter In an instant, the sweeping Gang Wind was like a mountain pressing down, and the Shield around Yi Zheng’s body shattered in a mont!
Almost simultaneously, amidst the flash of gold, Naye Lanxin rushed over to throw Yi Zheng out, while her frail body exploded with terrifying Power, punching directly at the giant hand.
With a loud bang, Naye Lanxin was also sent flying by the Bronze Giant Hand.
Yi Zheng looked at the few remaining points of Blood Volu, his forehead slick with cold sweat. Just the Gang Wind brought by the Bronze Buddha almost killed him. Had he been hit solidly, it would have been certain death with no chance of life.
On the other side, although Naye Lanxin was knocked away by the Buddha after trading a blow, she wasn’t injured.
The Big Buddha didn’t pursue the attack either, seemingly stopping once so distance was created.
The wrathful face of the Buddha also turned back around, now full of compassion as it raised its palm again.
But this ti, Yi Zheng didn’t dare to go over.
Yi Zheng stuffed several Carrots into his mouth to fill up his Blood Volu and Shield, then asked with lingering fear, “What is this thing? It doesn’t seem to be alive, does it?”
Naye Lanxin said, “Of course, it’s not alive; it’s a Puppet, specifically used to suppress . To prevent anyone from helping , this guy will kill anything that tries to get close. After it’s killed, just insert it into the incense burner and light a Sky Lantern…”
Yi Zheng was astonished, “That’s harsh.”
Yi Zheng glanced at Xue Tianyan and saw that she had already sat down in a corner, the look in her eyes towards him filled with extre wariness.
Clearly, after Yi Zheng took Naye Lanxin as an ally, it put great pressure on her, fearing that Yi Zheng might suddenly attack her with Naye Lanxin’s help.
But for now, Yi Zheng had no intention of attacking Xue Tianyan, not out of pity for the fairer sex, but because who knew how to get out of here! If they couldn’t find the way out, it was more bearable to have soone for company than to endure it alone.
So Yi Zheng threw a bottle of wine over, “Want a drink?”
Xue Tianyan, sensing Yi Zheng’s goodwill, hesitated slightly before she tilted her head back to take a sip, then reluctantly said, “Thanks…”
Yi Zheng waved his hand, “No need to be polite.”
Then Yi Zheng walked to the entrance of the Big Buddha Hall and pushed at the door that even Xue Tianyan couldn’t open after trendous effort; surprisingly, it moved.
Creak…
The old wooden door let out a creaking noise, sending shivers down one’s spine.
When the door was fully opened, a chilly wind blew in, making Yi Zheng shiver uncontrollably.
Outside was pitch black, so dark that one couldn’t see their own hand in front of them, let alone anything else.
It was as if there was a black mist outside that absorbed all light, or as if the darkness was akin to a gaping maw of an abyss, ready to devour everything that entered.
Yi Zheng didn’t dare go out but closed the door again instead.
“Naye Lanxin, what’s the situation outside…” The only one Yi Zheng could ask was Naye Lanxin.
Xue Tianyan also looked over curiously.
While munching ssily on a lobster, Naye Lanxin mumbled, “You ran here by yourselves, don’t tell you don’t know this is the Great Black Heaven Secret Realm?”
“Great Black Heaven Secret Realm?” Yi Zheng was puzzled.
Naye Lanxin explained, “Simply put, this is a blessed land, a paradise. The girl you saw with the Palace Lantern earlier is the owner of this place, the Great Black Heaven.
In the domain of the Great Black Heaven, the existence of light is not allowed.
That’s why there is no light outside.”
Yi Zheng understood, “I see, so if I want to leave, how do I go?”
Naye Lanxin shook her head, “I’ve been confined here the whole ti, I’m not clear about the outside situation either. But, it’s certainly not peaceful out there. Just be careful, and if you encounter trouble, call for at any ti! I can handle most troubles. If all else fails, just throw the Big Buddha over there…”
Yi Zheng was speechless, but it seed this was the only thod available for now.
So Yi Zheng called out to Xue Tianyan, “Little sis, want to co with?”
Xue Tianyan had even less of a choice now. If even following Rabbit she couldn’t make it out, then staying behind alone would an being trapped here forever, awaiting death.
Therefore, Xue Tianyan said, “I’ll go with you.”
Yi Zheng nodded and then pointed outside, “You go check first… *cough* ladies first.”
Xue Tianyan knew this damn Rabbit was up to no good; sure enough, he had brought her along to scout the way!
Looking at Yi Zheng with a resentful gaze, she understood that she didn’t have much leverage at this mont. If she didn’t show her usefulness, the Rabbit might very well decide to slaughter her first.
So Xue Tianyan took a deep breath and stepped out of the Big Buddha Hall, entering the darkness.
Just as Naye Lanxin said, everything outside the Big Buddha Hall was engulfed in darkness, a darkness that devoured light; the mont Xue Tianyan walked out, she disappeared into the blackness.
If not for the sound of Xue Tianyan’s voice, Yi Zheng would have doubted she had already perished.
“It’s all right; aside from darkness, there’s nothing unusual,” said Xue Tianyan.
Yi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Naye Lanxin before stepping out.
The mont Yi Zheng stepped out, the door behind slamd shut with a clang.
Startled, the one person and one Rabbit nearly jumped, but since no danger descended upon them imdiately, they felt sowhat reassured.
Whoosh!
A Fla blazed to life, but the light it cast was imdiately suppressed by the surrounding darkness, ultimately illuminating only a ter around them.
Yi Zheng increased the power of the Fla, but he could only illuminate about five ters around him.
However, this was already enough for them to see their surroundings clearly. They were in a corridor, with one side being a wall and the other side the Big Buddha Hall.
“Left or right?” Xue Tianyan asked Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng said, “n to the left, won to the right, left.”
“n to the left, won to the right, but I’m a woman, shouldn’t I go right?” Xue Tianyan said.
Yi Zheng said, “But I am a man.”
“You’re a male!” Xue Tianyan retorted.
Yi Zheng was left speechless for a mont.
In the end, Yi Zheng decided to follow the woman’s sixth sense and go right. They didn’t know how long the pitch-black corridor was as they moved forward. Soon, walls were all that surrounded them, everything looking identical, making Yi Zheng doubt if they were moving at all.
…
Just as they left, the sound of footsteps echoed in the Big Buddha Hall.
Naye Lanxin, who was eating, tightened up and looked up abruptly to see the doors of the Big Buddha Hall open and a Little Lolita holding a Palace Lantern walk in.
She wore a black dress embroidered with black creatures, seemingly phoenixes.
“Greetings to Great Black Heaven Venerable God!” Naye Lanxin stood up to pay her respects.
The Little Lolita said with a smile, “You did well. Just follow it closely. If you perform well, I’ll grant you your freedom; otherwise…”
The Little Lolita’s subtle smile caused Naye Lanxin to sweat profusely, as the feeling of death had never been so close. Just when she felt like collapsing under the pressure, all of it vanished.
When she looked again, the Little Lolita was already sitting there, drinking wine and eating the dishes Yi Zheng had brought. “The taste is alright, not top-notch.”
“Venerable God, there’s sothing I can’t figure out…” Naye Lanxin said with a pitiful look to the Little Lolita.
The Little Lolita said, “Drop that pitiful look. An Evil Bodhisattva wears two faces; no matter how pure one may seem, it can’t hide the cruelty of the other. You can’t fool anyone.”
Naye Lanxin said, “Venerable God, I must have fooled the Rabbit, right? Besides, it’s not really deception… This is my true nature.”
The Little Lolita shook her head, “Him? Ha… his eyes are very much like that mongrel. Rember, whatever cos from a creature with white fur and long ears is false. Anyway, I don’t believe he was fooled by you. But as you said, you didn’t deceive him. You have two faces, and you used the purest one to interact with him. Everything you said and did was genuine, or else he wouldn’t have accepted you so easily.
I wouldn’t have chosen you either.
Of course, the main thing is the Master-Servant Contract you signed with him, which causes him no harm; he had no reason to refuse you.
But since he got it so easily, it could also make him suspicious.”
At this point, the Little Lolita looked aningfully at Naye Lanxin and said, “Don’t think I’m unaware of what you’re scheming. You’re willing to sign a Master-Servant Contract with the Rabbit for the task I’ve given you because you want to use his help to break free from the Big Buddha, right?
If the Rabbit dies, you’d die along with him, thus completing the contract.
And you’d be able to resurrect.
If you die outside, you would also resurrect outside.
Then, with the world so vast, the Big Buddha won’t be able to suppress you for long, right?”
Naye Lanxin’s forehead was covered in cold sweat; she hadn’t expected the Great Black Heaven Venerable God to see through her little ruse.
The Little Lolita said with a slight smile, “But it doesn’t matter to . Whether you gain your freedom, continue to be suppressed, or even regain all your strength…”
The Little Lolita said contemptuously, “I don’t care. You are free to do as you please… but you must do well the tasks I have arranged for you, otherwise, you will die!”
Naye Lanxin said respectfully, “Venerable God, rest assured, I will complete your mission. To ensure his safety before he completes your mission, I will encourage him to increase his strength as soon as possible, to fulfill your task.”
The Little Lolita said, “I don’t care what ans you use, just lift him up and complete the task quickly! The gods are watching.”
When Naye Lanxin heard the words ‘the gods,’ her heart shook even more.
She had thought that only the Great Black Heaven Venerable God was protecting the Rabbit; she had never imagined that it was actually all the gods watching over him!
With the gods’ protection, the Rabbit could surely do as he pleased.
She was curious, why would the gods choose to protect such a weak Rabbit? What kind of task did he undertake?
By the ti Naye Lanxin ca back to her senses, the Little Lolita was gone.
In an instant, two long sighs echoed in the Big Buddha Hall. She looked at the Big Buddha, who seed to be secretly relieved as well.
Divine Level…
Too terrifying!
…
“Do you… trust that Naye Lanxin?” Xue Tianyan suddenly asked Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng shook his head, “No, I don’t believe a single word she says!”
“Then you…”
“What about ? I haven’t lost anything,” Yi Zheng said.
Xue Tianyan said, “She might be trying to use you… No, she seems quite innocent.”
Yi Zheng chuckled, “Innocent? Do you really think a creature that’s lived for three thousand years would be innocent? If she had frolicked outside for just a year, her thoughts wouldn’t be innocent anymore. Don’t forget, her title is Evil Bodhisattva. The word ‘Evil’… I’m all too familiar with it!”
