Lin Fei sighed softly, reached out and beckoned, and the relic flew towards him.
Lin Fei held the relic in his hand and felt a bone-chilling cold.
You should know that Buddhist relics are the essence of a highly accomplished monk's life. They not only radiate Buddhist light, but also contain extremely righteous energy, like a fireball.
The relic in Lin Fei's hand, however, exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine, and also carried a deep sense of despair.
Lingshan is gone.
Lin Fei clearly remembered what the diamond statue had said before it shattered. Could it be that this temple was truly related to the legendary ancient Buddhist sect?
Lin Fei held the relic in his hand and poured his surging spiritual power into it. As Lin Fei's energy was poured in, the black aura on the relic was gradually dispelled. At the same time, a dazzling Buddhist light once again shone from the relic.
Perhaps it was the Buddhist Vajra's determination to be incorporated into the temple even in death. Or perhaps it was the two lines of tears he shed before his death that moved Lin Fei. Lin Fei spared no effort, expending his own spiritual energy to dispel the black aura from the relic.
A guardian deity of Buddhism deserves a dignified resting place. Even after death, his relics should not remain shrouded in this black aura filled with evil thoughts.
Lin Fei slowly put the relic away—this relic did not belong to Lin Fei himself, but was an item from the instance world, so it was not subject to the system's seal.
When Lin Fei exits this instance system, he can return the relic to the system to earn exchange points. Alternatively, he can pay the corresponding exchange points to bring it into the Great Thousand World.
Of course, how Lin Fei will deal with this relic is another story.
After Lin Fei carefully put away the relic, he suddenly frowned: "How can there still be demons in this Buddhist ruins?"
To prevent any sudden danger, Lin Fei had already spread his divine sense outwards. Just as he was dealing with the relic left by the diamond statue, several demon figures appeared in his divine sense.
As for those demons, it seems their destination was none other than the temple where Lin Fei was!
……
On the mountain path, several strangely shaped demons were carrying steel forks and spears, heading towards the Buddhist temple at the top of the mountain.
These demons, though possessing human form, had not fully transformed. They still wore the heads of various wild beasts atop their heads.
This is understandable, as transforming into human form completely is not an easy task among demons. Demons with average cultivation levels often retain some characteristics of wild beasts.
The demons in front of us are clearly far from being able to fully transform into human form.
One of the demons, staring at the leopard's head, complained, "Why did the King send us to this sacred mountain? That Buddhist temple was destroyed countless years ago!"
A demon with a rhinoceros head said, "I heard that the king suddenly sensed that someone had used their divine sense to scan the area. The king was worried about the monastery, so he sent a few of us to check it out."
A demon staring at the fox's head looked around cautiously before speaking, "I've heard that the vengeful spirits of the monks in that temple are restless, and strange things often happen there. Last month, several of our patrolling brothers mysteriously disappeared. We should be careful and just keep an eye on things from a distance. If nothing happens, we should report to the King."
As these demons were talking, they had already approached the temple on the mountaintop when they suddenly heard a voice beside them ask, "Who is this king you're talking about?"
"Hehe, I'm sure you'll be terrified if I tell you. Our King is none other than..." The little demon was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Staring dumbfounded at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of her, she screamed, "Who are you? How did you get here?"
These demons who haven't fully transformed not only retain the characteristics of wild beasts in appearance, but also seem to have poor intelligence.
It was obvious that these guys hadn't even noticed how Lin Fei had appeared. Lin Fei's cultivation was far superior to these minor demons, yet they still dared to question him.
Lin Fei frowned slightly. He didn't take these little demons' cultivation levels seriously; they were not worth mentioning at all. If he really wanted to deal with them, it would only be a matter of moving his fingers.
What Lin Fei was concerned about was the methods these lesser demons used to conceal themselves. Previously, Lin Fei had used his divine sense to scan the surrounding area for nearly a hundred miles, but he had not found any demons. Judging from the speed of these lesser demons, they must be demons living nearby.
If they hadn't deliberately approached the temple, Lin Fei probably wouldn't have been able to spot them.
These lesser demons themselves had mediocre cultivation, yet they possessed methods to evade Lin Fei's divine sense detection. This was likely related to the "Great King" they spoke of. Lin Fei was rather curious about who this "Great King" was, and how he could possess the ability to deceive his divine sense.
Lin Fei suddenly waved his hand, and a little demon flew towards him without any resistance.
Lin Fei held the little demon in his hand, like he was carrying a chick, and used his divine sense to scan its body and examine it carefully.
"Huh?" Lin Fei let out a soft "huh," a look of surprise and confusion on his face.
This little demon possessed a strange energy, extremely similar to the deathly aura permeating the surrounding mountains, granting it exceptional concealment. Even someone with Lin Fei's cultivation level might not be able to detect its presence from a distance. No wonder it managed to evade Lin Fei's divine sense detection.
Given the cultivation level of these lesser demons, they certainly couldn't have developed such abilities on their own. They must have been forcibly endowed with this power by someone. That person is likely the "Great King" these lesser demons speak of.
The little demon was being held in Lin Fei's hand, its legs kicking wildly, but it couldn't break free from Lin Fei's grasp. Holding its breath, the little demon shouted, "What do you want to do? This area for hundreds of miles is our king's territory! You dare to lay a hand on me? Don't you want to live?"
The other lesser demons around them also started shouting, "That's right, that's right! If you anger the king, you'll die a horrible death! Now release him!"
It seems these guys who haven't fully transformed really aren't very bright. Their lives are in Lin Fei's hands, yet they still dare to threaten him.
However, Lin Fei had no interest in arguing with these insignificant little demons. What he wanted to find was the "king" behind these little demons.
Perhaps we can gain something unexpected from that king.
Lin Fei smiled slightly, loosened his grip, and put the little demon down.
