Chapter 195:
The once spirited and handsome Sun Cong was now dressed in tattered clothes, looking utterly dejected. Even simple
walking required him to be supported by his companions, clearly indicating he had suffered severe beatings and abuse. After he and his group of
captured members of the Baihui Group entered the platform, they were quickly driven to the edge of the platform near the ramp connection.
Daye Rinpoche, surrounded by a group of lamas and yoga instructors, advanced to the center of the platform near the altar
. Looking at the nine cauldrons floating on the altar, the woman's expression was ashen. Clearly, upon noticing
the image of the nine cauldrons, she had already realized their current state.
In stark contrast to Daye was Yan Zilu. He clearly had no habit of seeking the limelight
, so he didn't try to squeeze to the front to stand alongside Daye. Instead, he gathered with several armed men,
keeping a distance from Daye and the others, standing about ten meters behind and to the side of Daye. Unlike Daye,
this man seemed to have anticipated seeing the Nine Cauldrons, maintaining a strange smile on his face.
Observing the current situation of Daye's armed group on the platform, I couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of
relief. It seemed that the decision not to have Yonghui cover the altar and the Nine Cauldrons was correct. At least for now,
the attention of Daye and almost everyone in Yan Zilu's group was focused on the altar in the center of the platform and the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons.
No one had yet expressed any doubt about the "empty" state of the platform...
"...This is the Nine Cauldrons? This is what we paid so much price to find?"
After staring at the platform for a moment, Daye finally completely lost her composure as a "secret religious master," and
even her voice trembled. As he spoke, he slowly turned around, looking towards
the corner where Sun Cong and the other captured prisoners were gathered.
Faced with Daye's obvious anger, the captured Baihui Group members remained silent. Sun Cong stood at
the very front of the group, his face completely numb.
Perhaps he felt it was pointless to vent his anger on these pitiful creatures. Daye. Rinpoche
then changed his angle again, turning his gaze to where Yan Zilu was. Seeing Daye looking at him
, Yan Zilu's expression changed almost imperceptibly. He was still all smiles, but the previous
ulterior motives were gone, replaced only by flattery and obsequiousness.
"...This, this should be it!"
"...Is that so? You really dare to answer! You surnamed Yan...I know what you want to say! At this point,
don't even think about shifting the blame to that woman surnamed Liu! It was indeed she who contacted me in the first place...but
don't think I don't know, she came to me at your behest! So actually, the idea of instigating me to organize so many people to come
here to find Jiuding was yours." Daye slowly walked out from the crowd surrounding her
and stood directly opposite Yan Zilu.
"...This, this, if you insist on thinking that way, I have nothing to say! However, however, I need
to emphasize one point. That woman Liu Huiru abandoned both of us and ran away with her people. In a
sense, I was also deceived and betrayed by her...I
got all the information about Jiuding from her, so it really can't be said to be my responsibility now."
Yan Zilu appeared extremely frightened at this moment, unhesitatingly placing himself in the position of the weaker party.
"Hmph... Do you think what you're saying makes any sense? You should know why I'm looking for the Nine Cauldrons.
Now, tell me, how exactly can I obtain the true Nine Cauldrons?" Daye Rinpoche
also smiled, but that smile appeared exceptionally sinister and cold.
"...This, this is indeed a problem!" Yan Zilu clearly intended to continue feigning ignorance
. He blinked rapidly, then said in an uncertain tone, "...
There's only the Cauldron Spirit at the top of this Spiral City. But you should also know that since the Cauldron Spirit is here, the physical forms of the Nine Cauldrons
are basically certain to be in the core area of Kunlun..."
"Nonsense! Don't I know the physical forms of the Nine Cauldrons are in this core area? Do you expect me to go down and
find all nine physical forms?" Daye's eyebrows furrowed, and she rebuked Yan Zilu sharply.
Seeing this, Yan Zilu raised his head and gestured for forgiveness while taking two steps back,
explaining with a beaming smile, "...Of course not, not at all! This core area is so vast, even if we could find it,
who knows how long it would take. What I'm trying to say is that finding the spirit of the cauldron is, in a sense,
not much different from finding the Nine Cauldrons themselves."
Upon hearing this, Daye's expression changed slightly. "Not much different? What do you mean?"
"...I mean that although the spirit of the cauldron isn't a physical entity, it is actually the soul and will of the Nine Cauldrons! In comparison
, finding the spirit of the cauldron is more important than finding the physical Nine Cauldrons! Without the spirit, the physical Nine Cauldrons
are, frankly, just nine ordinary cauldrons, no different from the artifacts displayed in museums.
The reason the Nine Cauldrons are the Nine Cauldrons is because they have their own will and soul; they are spiritual beings..."
Noticing Daye's improved expression, Yan Zilu's ingratiating attitude became even more obvious.
"...Stop wasting my time! Do you think I don't understand what you're saying? Get to the point!
You should know that my patience has been almost completely worn down by you people these past few days!" Perhaps
finding Yan Zilu long-winded, Daye's attitude became aggressive again.
"Oh, then I'll get straight to the point! Master, your purpose in seeking the Nine Cauldrons is probably to propagate Buddhism and establish
a Buddhist kingdom on land, right?...If that's the only reason, then the spirit of the cauldron before you
is far more important than the cauldrons themselves! As the spiritual pillar of the Huaxia people, the Nine Cauldrons have
a direct influence on the spiritual beliefs of the Huaxia people. If you truly want to convert billions of Huaxia descendants to Buddhism, this cauldron spirit is the most
suitable tool for spreading the Dharma! Once the entire Huaxia people become Buddhist disciples, your Buddhist kingdom on land can
be established in the blink of an eye! As for the specifics of how to do it, with your cultivation and attainment, do I really need to say more?"
As Yan Zilu spoke, he quickly passed Daye and stood in
the middle of the straight-line distance between Daye and the altar. As he finished speaking, he raised both hands, pointing to the nine illusory cauldrons floating above the altar, making
a respectful gesture as if offering the spirits of the cauldrons to Daye.
Hearing Yan Zilu's words, Daye was first taken aback, then a look of sudden understanding appeared
on her face, and that triumphant smile returned.
In the illusory light screen, I watched and listened to what was happening on the platform, and an ominous premonition immediately
welled up in my heart. Just then, the heart-pounding sound that had disappeared suddenly resounded in my ears
. This time, the sound seemed to be coming from below the platform… Moreover,
the frequency of the sound seemed to have increased slightly…
Holding my dazed and stiff mother, I suppressed the fear caused by the sound and
looked around in a slightly panicked manner. At this moment, I confirmed one fact. At that moment, among everyone around, it seemed only I
could hear that terrifying heartbeat. Including Chunri, Liu Huiru and the others were all anxiously watching
Daye, Yan Zilu, and the others on the platform, their movements undisguised.
I didn't know what Daye and Yan Zilu would do next. But that heartbeat gave
me an extremely real sense of crisis and urgency. Whatever happened next, I felt I needed to make
appropriate arrangements and responses. For this reason, I lowered my voice and called to Chunri.
As Chunri moved closer to me, I saw Yan Zilu glance at our hiding place
… This sent a chill down my spine.
Fortunately, Yan Zilu seemed unaware of our presence. I immediately calmed myself and quietly explained to Chunri
the temporary arrangements I had made for various possible events.
"How far is the straight-line distance from here to the ramp below? Can you teleport there safely? Their
people seem to have all gathered at the platform and the connecting area; there shouldn't be anyone on the ramp directly below!"
Haruhi was a smart person and understood my meaning immediately. After a brief moment's thought, she gave me a precise
answer. "Although I haven't calculated it precisely, the distance from this location to the ramp directly below should be within
my safe movement range. However, this is assuming I'm moving alone. Generally, the more people I'm carrying
, the shorter the distance I can move. If you want to use my ability to secretly send people down, I can probably
only send one at a time. If there are more than two, I can't guarantee the safety of myself and my companions. Also,
I can only teleport a maximum of five times consecutively in a short period..."
I suppressed the twitching of my facial muscles and glanced sideways at the people around me. Although
my voice was low as I spoke to Haruhi, the people crowded within the phantom screen heard me due to the distance, and
their expressions changed accordingly.
Guan Xue, Lan Jian, and the others remained calm, while Liu Huiru, Chen Xiaowei, and Yuan Fangfang's eyes revealed a
burning desire
to survive. However, at this moment, I could only harden my heart and ignore their clearly expressed will to live. I pointed
to my mother in my arms and said, "If it's five times, you can only make three round trips at most. No matter
what Yan Zilu and Daye are up to, or if they discover us, something big is definitely going to happen. I only ask that you prioritize getting her down
the slope! You can decide who takes the other two... I and the others who can't go
will buy time for you and the others to escape. If you can escape, don't worry about the others, just try to find Wang Lie and the others to reunite
..."
Chunri nodded after hearing this and stayed by my side. Liu Huiru, Chen Xiaowei, and Yuan Fangfang's expressions became complicated after hearing my arrangements. But under these circumstances, they refrained from 　　questioning
my decision . 　　In the center of the platform, the lamas from Daye's group and the female yoga instructor dressed in white gathered around the altar 　　, taking out various esoteric Buddhist implements and beginning to set up some kind of magic array. 　　Yan Zilu retreated to the connection between the platform and the slope, seemingly deciding 　　to remain uninvolved in Daye's next move. 　　Although I desperately wanted to use Haruhi's instantaneous ability to immediately move my mother to the slope below, it was clear that 　　if Haruhi acted now, she would likely be detected immediately. In that case, even if 　　Haruhi successfully moved my mother and two others to the slope below under the distraction of me and the rest of the group, there was no 　　guarantee they would escape Daye's pursuit. A suitable opportunity was needed to act. And that opportunity lay in 　　the attention of Daye's group members at this moment… 　　I tried to calm myself down to observe and wait for what I felt was the most opportune moment, but 　　the pounding of my heart and the constant worry of being discovered by Daye and the others kept me restless. Because of this restlessness 　　, I found myself repeatedly opening and closing the Crimson Lotus Diagram in my mind. The repeated activations led me 　　to a sudden realization. 　　The phoenix… the phoenix I had implanted with the Crimson Lotus Flame hadn't gone far. Not only had it not left, 　　but it was even closer to Spiral City than when I last activated the Crimson Lotus Chart. And 　　judging from the way the flame moved, it seemed to be circling Spiral City more than ten kilometers away. 　　"I don't know if you can feel my call… If you can, then I'm 　　telling you clearly now. I'm willing to establish a symbiotic contract with you—something I don't even know what it is! 　　As long as you can come and help me overcome this crisis…" 　　Sensing the flame moving within the chart, I couldn't help but silently repeat this in my mind. I didn't know 　　if this would have any effect. But like a drowning person desperately grasping at a straw, I could only hope that 　　the flame I had implanted in the phoenix could convey my current will to it… Whether the phoenix 　　could understand my thoughts and intentions was no longer a concern for me. 　　At the altar, Daye… Rinpoche paced back and forth, carefully inspecting and directing the lamas and yoga instructors 　　as they prepared for the ritual. Yan Zilu, who had retreated to the connecting point, looked at our current hiding place more and more frequently.

Thinking about the worst possible outcome, I took the Type 54
pistol from Fan Zhou's hands. As I stroked the metal of the pistol, calculating how to
attract the attention of the armed men and create chaos on the platform should Yan Zilu discover me, the chanting of lamas suddenly came from the altar
.
Hearing the chanting, Yan Zilu stopped looking around and turned his gaze to the altar. I immediately breathed a
sigh of relief and involuntarily looked towards the altar as well…
The lamas under Daye's command completed the arrangement of the ritual circle and quickly dispersed around the area below the altar, roughly
forming a circle, sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures loudly. Several female yoga instructors in white robes left
the circle formed by the lamas, leaving sixteen people inside, who began
to dance in unison to the rhythm of the lamas' chanting.
At this moment, my mother, whom I was holding in my arms, suddenly reacted. She abruptly covered her ears with her hands, her
previously blank and sorrowful expression turning into pain and disgust. I was both surprised and delighted when I saw her. Surprised because
I worried my mother might make some noise or do something unexpected that would expose everyone within the illusion's range;
delighted because she had finally broken free of her previous dazed and stiff state.
I immediately lowered my head, brought my mouth close to my mother's ear, and whispered, "Mom... are you...
are you awake?"
Perhaps because her ears were covered, my mother didn't hear my concerned question clearly, but reflexively raised
her head, staring blankly into my eyes. Seeing this, I wanted to reach out and pull her hands away from her ears
to ask again. But considering that my mother might not be fully conscious at this moment, and that forcing her might provoke
physical resistance, I ultimately abandoned this action. Instead, I raised my right hand, which was holding the gun, to my mouth
, making a shushing gesture.
Seeing my action, my mother's numb expression didn't change at all, but her body suddenly trembled violently
, and she buried her head in my arms.
All the painstaking planning and long-term preparation ultimately turned out to be nothing but a mirage.
I could fully imagine the psychological impact on my mother after the failed ritual. Therefore, I
wasn't surprised at all by her previous distraught state. My concern was that the intense emotional shock might lead to unpredictable behavioral problems
…
In my opinion, my mother's behavior at that moment was indeed abnormal, but thankfully, it didn't turn out the way I feared.
The cause of her abnormal behavior seemed to be the chanting of the lamas around the altar… This sound clearly
frightened my mother. Her clinging to me was probably an attempt to find some comfort from me
.
However, I was somewhat helpless regarding the chanting lamas. Rushing out to stop them? That
would be suicidal, and would also drag the group inside the illusionary light barrier down with them. Although we
might be discovered by Yan Zilu at any moment, I couldn't bring myself to do something so reckless before all hope was lost
.
Therefore, I could only hold my mother tighter, hoping it would make her feel a little better.
The lamas' chanting grew louder and louder, the drawn-out tones making me feel dizzy. Then,
something unexpected happened around the altar.
The dance movements of the sixteen female yoga instructors gradually quickened with the chanting, even entering
a state of frenzy. They jumped, spun, and finally began tearing off their clothes.
In a very short time, they were completely naked…
These female yoga instructors under Daye Rinpoche were almost all young and beautiful women, and due to
their long-term practice of yoga, they also possessed graceful figures. This complete exposure naturally
attracted the attention of the armed men who were watching from a distance. Except for a very few with higher composure, most
of the armed men gradually gathered near the altar.
Daye Rinpoche saw this situation, but seemed to be pleased with it. She made no
attempt to reprimand or stop these people for "abandoning their posts." On the contrary, she
stepped back a few paces as they gathered towards the altar, as if deliberately giving up her position to allow the armed men
to gather and watch.
At that moment, I noticed that this "female living Buddha" actually turned her head and exchanged a glance with Yan Zilu; both of them
simultaneously revealed a knowing smile.
"Beautiful..."
"Oh...oh..."
Unconsciously, someone finally couldn't help but cheer and become agitated. Because the naked dancers seemed to
have completely lost their basic sense of shame as women, the so-called "dance" had almost become a wanton
display of their private parts.
Some dancers sat directly on the ground, leaning back, legs spread wide, thrusting their hips, deliberately
exposing their genitals to the onlookers; others constantly changed positions, and those positions were no longer
dance, but clearly different female sexual positions.
It wasn't just the militants; the "erotic dance" happening beside the altar was also
attracting the captured members of the Baihui Group...
Watching everything unfold around the altar, my brows furrowed!
Ninety-nine percent of men are lustful! Being attracted to a woman dancing naked is normal. But
that depends on the time, place, and one's normal physical and mental state. It's not surprising that the militants gathered to watch.
What's strange is that the tortured Baihui Group captives, given their current physical and mental state,
could also be "lustful"? And this even included several women.
Sure enough, when I activated my Crimson Lotus Eye and looked through the illusion created by Yonghui, I saw a pink
"bewitching aura." That aura emanated from the chanting lama and the naked dancers
, gradually enveloping the entire platform area.
I realized something and abruptly turned to look behind me. As I expected... the pink aura also permeated
the illusion created by Yonghui. Liu Huiru, Yuan Fangfang, and Chen Xiaowei all revealed at this moment
With an almost dazed expression, she swayed as she tried to get up. Guan Xue and the others, however, seemed unaffected.
"Hold them down!" I couldn't help but whisper. Chunri and the others were
initially startled by my sudden command, but quickly reacted. They swiftly selected their targets and suppressed the three women's
potential further actions. As I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease, I suddenly saw Yan
Zilu's gaze fixed on us in the distance… his honest face filled with a mocking smile.
"…Could it be that he's already discovered us?"
Seeing Yan Zilu's expression, my heart sank. I almost instinctively confirmed this fact!
But I didn't understand why this guy hadn't made any move to expose us.
Just then, the situation around the altar escalated further. Under the combined influence of physical instinct and the "alluring aura," someone finally disregarded everything and crossed the circle formed by the lamas, rushing towards 　　the naked dancers inside
while stripping off their clothes .
The lamas completely ignored this, continuing their chanting.
The man pounced on the nearest naked woman like a hungry tiger, pinning her to the ground… The woman let out a seductive
giggle, offering no resistance as she tightly embraced the man.
The power of example is boundless… When the man grabbed the woman's ankles, spread her legs
, and began thrusting between them, the other onlookers erupted in a frenzy, rushing into the circle of people centered around the altar. Among them were men and women. The female 　　yoga instructors who
had previously withdrawn from the circle also joined the flow around the altar… 　　“Wow…so spectacular! It’s a pity Kun isn’t here…if he were, filming this would be a huge 　　hit!” Guan Xue, the only one not under control, unexpectedly uttered this remark. 　　I turned and glared at her, and the girl, like a child who had done something wrong, quickly 　　lowered her head. Lan Jian, however, clearly didn't notice my current attitude. While forcefully suppressing Yuan Fangfang, 　　she actually continued the conversation. 　　"Not necessarily... There are already group sex AVs with hundreds of people overseas. The number of people is even greater than this." 　　"...I've seen one, to be honest, it's not as exciting as this!" Fan Zhou's muttered remark left me speechless 　　. I realized that this woman, who was usually the most unassuming among the Five Holy Maidens, was actually a real slut. 　　I no longer cared why Yan Zilu hadn't exposed our illusion. Anyway, his silence 　　wasn't a bad thing for our current situation. Because my attention was also 　　"shocked" by the group sex scene around the altar! 　　I had actually seen those group sex porn films with large numbers of people filmed abroad, but as Fan Zhou said, 　　those films were almost incomparable to what I was seeing now! 　　Porn films are ultimately just films. The people involved in the filming are actors, and even if it's "real," it's still just 　　acting! No matter how well or realistic the acting is, it will still feel fake. And what was unfolding around the altar at this moment... 　　was the most authentic and complete nature of humanity! There was no acting, no director's direction. Only 　　naked "sexual desire"! Even Sun Cong had clearly lost his nature, participating 　　in the "sexual frenzy" around the altar. 　　Because there were far more men than women, it was impossible to find a normal pair of men and women; each woman 　　was surrounded by at least two men... several women were facing more than four men. Looking 　　around the entire altar, apart from the lamas who were constantly chanting sutras, it was almost a sea of white. 　　Besides Sun Cong, I unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces in the revelry. 　　...Liu Zhen, the security captain of Baihui Group's search and rescue operation. After betraying the Sun brothers 　　, it seems he has now betrayed Liu Huiru as well. He lay naked on the ground, a slender 　　female yoga instructor on top of him, her thick labia engulfing his erection. 　　Behind her lay another man, thrusting his hips against her buttocks. As a 　　yoga instructor, this woman's flexibility was unimaginable. 　　Even while being attacked from both sides by Liu Zhen and the man behind her, she managed to lean to the side, taking the third man's penis into her mouth while simultaneously 　　using her hands to manipulate the penises of two other men standing beside her. This must be 　　the limit of how many men a woman can satisfy simultaneously… This limit, in my opinion, previously existed only in "theory," 　　because few women could probably manage this position, and it required distraction, using 　　different parts of the body to stimulate the men's desire for release. But now, I was actually witnessing a 　　real-life scene that even pornographic films might not depict… 　　and this wasn't an isolated incident… Of the sixteen "dancers" who had previously danced naked, more than half 　　were using this position to desperately satisfy the numerous men surrounding them. 　　Looking at Sun Cong, naked and kneeling beside a female instructor, letting the woman manipulate his genitals, I 　　felt no physical desire whatsoever; instead, I was filled with sorrow and pity… He was covered in wounds, 　　clearly weak and powerless, yet he still moved his hips in response to the woman's manipulations. In my view, 　　there was no longer any physical pleasure to be found; it was clearly an overdraft, a draining of his life force and energy 　　. 　　Sun Cong had a crush on his mother, but after understanding the details and process of her entire plan, I no longer felt 　　jealousy or suspicion towards him. On the contrary, I felt more sympathy and understanding for him. 　　He wasn't a bad person; in some ways, he was a rather outstanding young man. Despite being a 　　second-generation rich kid, he didn't exhibit many of the typical spoiled brat traits. He never used underhanded methods in pursuing my mother 　　. Even when he met me, my mother's then-boyfriend, he openly expressed 　　his admiration for her. Besides, he was also a very humane person… I once thought he was a 　　womanizer who had abandoned Liu Huiru after starting a relationship, but that wasn't the case. The one who truly betrayed their relationship first 　　was actually Liu Huiru! And yet, he didn't seek revenge on her in any way; he merely ended their relationship.

This was merely a relationship between them, and afterwards he secretly entrusted his elder brother, Sun Ming, to take care of Liu Huiru. Even
after Liu Huiru committed such heinous acts as deceiving his father and brothers and plotting to seize his family's property, he still
tried his best to find a way out for her... Such a man can definitely be called loyal and righteous.
Most importantly, his current predicament is ultimately due to his mother's conspiracy and manipulation. Of course,
I cannot blame my mother, who is trembling in my arms, for everything she has done is for
me. I then quietly asked Lan Jian
, "Lan Jian, do you know what this female monk is up to?"
"The Brahma Dance of Union!" Lan Jian answered my question almost without hesitation.
"The Brahma Harmony Dance? What kind of ritual is this, and what are its specific effects?"
"It's a secret ritual passed down from the Tantric sect... possessing powerful psychological suggestion and manipulation effects
! The legendary Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance and the Tantric dual cultivation techniques all originated from this secret ritual. Initially, the Tantric
sect mostly performed this ritual to seduce and recruit followers. However,
the ritual that Lord Sizong is performing now has clearly been changed and modified. It's very different from the traditional Brahma Harmony Dance that I know...
As for its effects! Lord Sizong probably wants to use this secret ritual to directly
influence the spirits of the Nine Cauldrons, imprinting his devout faith in Tantric Buddhism directly into them." Although Lan Jian used a speculative
tone, I could sense her absolute confidence in her judgment from her tone.
"Can she succeed?"
"...Well, historically, the Tantric sect
has almost always been successful in winning over followers once they held the Brahma Dance ceremony. The Tantric sect also successfully used the Sixteen Heavenly Demons to seduce the Yuan Dynasty emperor, thus
gaining a transcendent religious status in the Yuan Dynasty. However, that all came down to people's thoughts and wills. Now, Lord Sizong
is using this method to influence the cauldron spirits, but since there's no precedent, I can't say for sure."
Just as Lan Jian finished speaking, the spirits of the nine cauldrons, which had been floating and moving according to some kind of pattern on the altar, suddenly emitted
a clear sound, almost like a mournful cry. The nine cauldron phantoms trembled simultaneously,
swaying and spinning wildly like headless flies on the altar shrouded in pink "temptation aura"...
Lan Jian's eyes widened instantly, and she muttered in disbelief. "...Okay,
it seems to be working!"
The spirits of the nine cauldrons danced and spun around the altar, seemingly trying to escape the corrosive pink "temptatory aura,"
but they seemed to be imprisoned within the altar area by some invisible force. No matter how they danced and
spun, they couldn't escape the pink aura's clinging and covering, and the cauldron spirits continuously emitted those clear, mournful
cries... as if calling for help.
Unfortunately, the people around the altar were completely immersed in their frenzied group sex, and no one even glanced up
. On the contrary, many men simultaneously reached the climax of their sex
... Under the women's manipulations, swallowing, and the contractions of their lower bodies, they almost simultaneously ejaculated
streams of white fluid.
After the utterly exhausted men collapsed to the ground, their expressions a mixture of satisfaction and weariness, an unbelievable
scene unfolded…
The men's semen, ejaculated from the women's bodies, between their fingers, in their mouths, and between their legs, was
drawn out by some unseen force, then floated and condensed in the air, eventually forming nine white, cloudy spheres
.
When Daye Rinpoche saw these spheres of semen, she actually
licked them back and forth with her tongue, a look of temptation, greed, and reluctance appearing on her face. However, this expression did
not last long. Soon, she too began chanting scriptures, levitating cross-legged in mid-air, her hands
moving rapidly back and forth in various hand gestures. Guided by her hand gestures, the white, cloudy spheres drifted towards
the nine spirit vessels swaying erratically above the altar…
As if they could see the spheres, the spirit vessels became even more chaotic upon their approach,
flying wildly around the narrow altar area, clearly trying to avoid contact with the nine spheres.
But it was obvious that their range of movement was far too small… Faced with the slowly approaching
water sphere, collision and contact were almost inevitable.
Seeing this, Yan Zilu, beaming, walked to Daye's side, clasped his hands together, and made
a gesture of worship.
"Congratulations, Master! You have rendered unparalleled service to Buddhism! From now on, billions of disciples will convert to Buddhism, and
the world will soon be bathed in the light of Buddha! With this achievement, Master will surely attain Arhatship."
"Ho, ho, ho!" Faced with Yan Zilu's flattery, Daye Rinpoche finally couldn't help but let out a smug
laugh. At this moment, she seemed to have confirmed that the cauldron spirit could not escape the inevitable result of contact with the water sphere,
and while stopping her chanting, she corrected Yan Zilu's wording!
"Attain Arhatship? I cultivate the Bodhisattva path!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zilu immediately showed a look of fear. "I'm ashamed, ashamed... I was so happy for my master
that I forgot he walks the Bodhisattva path."
"Heh, heh, heh... Never mind..." A satisfied Daye seemed extremely happy,
completely unconcerned about Yan Zilu's "mistake." But just as she was about to continue her conversation with Yan Zilu,
a sound like tearing silk came from the altar.
One of the nine cauldron spirits, just before making contact with the water sphere, suddenly burst out of the narrow
space above the altar, stumbling and falling with blurry afterimages onto the open platform...
"What?" Daye exclaimed in disbelief. In that moment of distraction, the other eight
cauldron spirits did almost the same thing, recklessly breaking through the altar's confinement,
leaving spatial cracks in the air around the altar as they flew onto the wide platform.
Daye's eyebrows furrowed, her face filled with rage. He didn't even have time to continue talking to Yan Zilu, and
immediately focused all his attention on controlling the nine water spheres to quickly chase after their respective cauldron spirits.
Just then, the heartbeat that had been echoing in my ears suddenly stopped. I immediately felt an indescribable
sense of relief…
but before I could even think about what had happened, several dark figures
surged out from the passageway beneath the altar. These figures didn't pause for a moment; the instant they appeared, they pounced with astonishing speed on
the people scattered around the altar, exhausted from their exertion!
"...Ah!"
Heart-wrenching screams echoed across the platform.
Liu Zhen, unfortunately, was lying right at the edge of the passageway. As he screamed, he was torn into
a bloody, mangled mess. The dark figures, shrouded in black mist, ripped Liu Zhen's body apart, making
crunching sounds as they moved on to their next target.
"Help…"
"Monster!"
Chaos erupted on the platform.
Driven by their survival instincts, the exhausted crowd, exhausted from the revelry, struggled to their feet and scattered in all directions. Gunshots,
screams, shouts, and curses rang out in a cacophony. The entire platform was filled with figures running and fleeing.
"Now!" Facing the suddenly appearing demon, I felt no fear, but rather overwhelming joy!
In my eyes, whether Yan Zilu would accept our existence was no longer important!
Wasn't this chaotic situation the perfect opportunity for Chunri to take my mother and leave?
"Chunri!" I hugged my mother and suddenly sat up,
calling out towards the location where Chunri had controlled Liu Huiru, as I remembered it. But when I turned my head, I unexpectedly saw Yan Zilu's figure…
In the chaos, Yan Zilu had somehow infiltrated the illusionary light barrier created by Yonghui and appeared beside Chunri ! Perhaps because Chunri was focused on controlling Liu Huiru, she couldn't react in time, 　　and Yan Zilu struck her hard
on the back of the neck . 　　Chunri groaned, staggering and collapsing to the ground while still holding Liu Huiru. 　　"Sister Chunri!" Fan Zhou, standing beside Chunri, cried out in alarm, releasing Yuan Fangfang from her grasp and drawing 　　a dagger to stab Yan Zilu. Yan Zilu, clearly prepared for Fan Zhou's attack, easily 　　dodged by tilting his body. As he shifted to the side, he delivered a powerful knee strike to Fan Zhou's abdomen. Fan Zhou immediately 　　clutched her stomach and collapsed to her knees. 　　Having knocked Fan Zhou down, Yan Zilu bent down to pick up the automatic rifle that the mentally unstable Liu Huiru had left behind 　　, and raised his hand to pull the trigger at me. 　　Having anticipated this, I instinctively dodged while holding my mother, firing back simultaneously. 　　After the bullet missed, I couldn't help but curse myself! 　　The moment I saw Yan Zilu, I should have fired while simultaneously implanting the flame within him. In that split second 　　, because I forgot to implant the flame and was worried about accidentally injuring Fan Zhou, I allowed him to gain the upper hand. 　　But regret was useless now. I threw myself to the ground, clutching my mother, and began rolling repeatedly. 　　The splattered bullet marks followed my tumbling path, but thankfully, my reflexes were quick enough that my several-meter rolls 　　miraculously avoided all the bullets fired. After hearing the hollow sound of the firing pin, I peered 　　towards Yan Zilu, intending to implant a flame into his body. But unexpectedly, a square stone wall appeared out of nowhere 　　… 　　When I stood up again, still clutching my mother, and circled the wall to search for Yan Zilu, he 　　vanished like an eel into the chaotic crowd. 　　No one noticed the brief exchange of fire at the edge of the flat area, nor did anyone care that 　　our group had suddenly appeared on the platform. The entire platform had become a complete "battlefield." 　　The Daye gang was a diverse group, including security personnel who had defected from the Baihui Group, professional mercenaries, 　　temporarily recruited armed men, lamas, and yoga instructors. While the situation was chaotic, 　　the instinct for survival manifested in their ability to defend themselves and retaliate against the sudden demonic attack. 　　There was no unified command or coordination. After a brief period of chaos, 　　several groups gradually formed on the platform. Lamas chanted scriptures and brandished esoteric Buddhist implements, while yoga instructors appeared to 　　possess some experience in exorcising demons. They cooperated to desperately resist the onslaught of the black demons, while 　　others picked up weapons they had discarded before the revelry and fired wildly. Unbeknownst 　　to them, the battle on the platform reached a stalemate… 　　Some attempted to escape via the connecting passageway on the outer ramp. However, the demons shrouded in black demonic energy seemed 　　to read their minds. More than half of the demons emerging from the inner passageway 　　rushed there immediately. Realizing the connection point was more dangerous, people naturally chose to flee. Those left behind 　　could only join the nearest self-defense groups. 　　After I grasped the situation on the platform, I discovered that the small team my mother had organized 　　had also been scattered and fragmented. Yonghui and Guanxue, who had stopped creating illusions, followed my mother and me, unknowingly 　　getting entangled with more than ten members of the Daye armed group. Meanwhile, Fanzhou, Chunri, Yuan Fangfang, Liu 　　Huiru, and Chen Xiaowei were huddled together with another group of Daye armed group members about 30 or 40 meters away. 　　The unluckiest was Lanjian; after our surprise attack by Yan Zilu, she bumped into several fleeing thugs 　　and was swept along by the shoving and jostling, ending up in an area near the edge of the ramp. 　　Fortunately, I didn't see Yan Zilu among these three self-defense groups 　　. This meant that, facing the demonic siege, we didn't have to worry about anyone 　　stabbing us in the back. 　　At this moment, the most conspicuous thing on the platform was Daye. Rinpoche! 　　I don't know what's wrong with this crazy woman's head? What was she thinking? Faced with 　　the demons that suddenly emerged from the passage below the altar, she neither attacked to eliminate them nor organized her subordinates 　　to resist. Instead, she was focused on manipulating the water spheres made of semen that floated in mid-air, 　　chasing the spirit of the Nine Cauldrons in the air above the platform.

More and more demons emerged from the passageway beneath the altar… After using my "Star Flame" ability to annihilate three
black-qi demons attempting to attack my team, I suddenly remembered what my mother had said earlier. "…
If demons have appeared on this outer ramp, it means Xia Jiang and her Yin soldiers have been defeated!"
Thinking this, I couldn't help but shudder. Now the demons were unmistakably present on the outer platform
. Could it be that Xia Jiang and her Yin soldiers…
Realizing this, I dared not imagine any further, and looked down at my mother in my arms. At this moment,
my mother was still trembling slightly, burying her head deeply in my chest, clinging tightly to my body,
as if afraid I would leave her. Seeing my mother like this, I painfully abandoned
the idea of asking her anything. I gritted my teeth and focused solely on fighting the ever-increasing number of demons on the platform.
The gunfire on the platform gradually subsided…
The resisters were running out of ammunition, while the number of demons on the platform was increasing, and new species were appearing
… Harpies shrieked as they leaped from the passageway, circling above the platform, waiting for an opportunity to swoop down on the crowd
.
Dark red bloodstains and mangled human flesh and limbs were scattered everywhere on the platform.
Someone began to wail in utter despair and fear… The cries disturbed me! Realizing that if
things continued this way, everyone on the platform would surely die, I disregarded our individual positions and
shouted to the other, individually fighting groups,
“…This won’t do! If you want to live, you have to go up the slope!”
My suggestion immediately received a response. A man speaking in extremely broken Mandarin also shouted
, adding a reasonable supplement to my suggestion. "He's right, we have to head
down the slope! But there are the most demons there. Everyone should try to rejoin the teams next to us first, gather as many as possible
, and then charge together!"
The man's suggestion was immediately implemented! The large and small teams, which had been fighting independently, all
began to move towards the nearest team.
Having made the decision, I no longer held back. Holding my mother with my gun in my left hand, and with the Crimson Lotus
Flame rising in my right, starlight splashing within the diagram, I charged ahead of the team, quickly eliminating the
several demons blocking our path from Haruhi and the others. I then successfully led the dozen or so people
to rejoin Haruhi's team.
Seeing Haruhi, I realized that our team was now in a position roughly where we had previously used illusion magic to hide,
and I immediately remembered the original plan. So I immediately approached Haruhi and said, "Now, right now,
take my mother to the slope below!"
Faced with my request, Haruhi showed a guilty and troubled expression. "Yan... Yan Zilu just broke my secret technique
... You know, before him... besides my master, he was the only
person who knew the location of my forbidden meridians. He attacked my forbidden meridians just now, so I won't be able to use the Instantaneous Ability for at least three days."
Hearing Chunri's words, I couldn't help but change my expression. Only then did I remember that in the previous battle against the demons
, Chunri had never used the Instantaneous Ability, but had been using magical artifacts and talismans.
Just as I was about to curse his ancestors without realizing the relationship between that guy and me
, a clear bird's cry came from the distant sky. I couldn't help but turn my head
to look in the direction of the sound...
A fiery red figure broke through the dark clouds surrounding the top of Spiral City.
"That's..."
"A phoenix! It's a phoenix..."
Even in this near-desperate environment, someone still noticed the appearance of the phoenix and exclaimed in
amazement!
And at this moment on the platform, probably only I knew the real reason for the phoenix's reappearance.
That comforting feeling returned to me once more, and I realized that the phoenix must have sensed my inner
calling to it…
