Chapter 165 The Demonic Shadow Appears
Chapter 165 The Demonic Shadow Appears
"We stayed in that strange place for only half an hour." Lu Yifeng gently stroked the jade slip in his hand. When he received the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again and connected to the fairyland, he was shocked to find that a day had passed in the outside world. "In that mirror secret realm, time flows slowly, so Jehovah's lingering thoughts can last for a thousand years in it."
"No wonder the Locke Trialist has arrived." Luna stared at the demons and whispered.
"Fortunately, I haven't missed many opportunities. I need to find the remaining partners as soon as possible." After saying that, Lu Yifeng flicked his fingertips and a lightning spirit bead appeared, which immediately burned the evil spirit in front of him to ashes.
They cleared out the evil demons that blocked their way along the way. Just as Lu Yifeng was about to meet up with Coulson and the others, when they reached the corner of the corridor, a stone door suddenly opened.
A figure staggered out from the door. It was Johnny who had accompanied Father Moreau to remove the curse of Ghost Rider. Johnny was now full of surprise and knelt down to reflect on himself. The uncontrollable power and the soul that were hiding in his body had all dissipated, and he had returned to his mortal body.
"I'm free! I'm finally free!" Johnny cheered and was eager to share this joy with others, but he saw several demons sneaking out from the dark corner, obviously attracted by his cheers.
"Everyone, I didn't call you. Can you please disperse?" Johnny's face darkened. He secretly sighed in his heart, how could there be traces of demons in the Holy Land? Now, as a mortal, how can I resist the claws of the demons?
Fortunately, when the evil shadow approached, Lu Yifeng quickly threw out the Thunder Spirit Pearl and saved Johnny from danger.
"Don't ask why. I don't know either. Just ask someone else." Before Johnny could say anything more, Lu Yifeng had already answered and led the three people forward.
After five breaths of effort, they finally reached the core of the holy land, and saw that the world was divided into three parts: one was pure demons, one was ascetic monks, and the last one was Coulson, Melinda and Nadya. Surprisingly, Father Moreau also stood side by side with Coulson.
Although they were forced to join forces with the ascetic monks to fight against demons, Coulson and his crew were still secretly wary of each other.
"Yifeng, where are you going? We have been searching for you for a day." When Coulson saw the two of them appear, joy flashed in his eyes, mixed with a bit of blame.
"I'm sorry, I was bothered by a trivial matter, but it's now resolved." Lu Yifeng smiled apologetically, his gaze then turned to the demon, his palm suddenly raised.
In an instant, strong winds swept in, clouds gathered like ink, thunder roared, and lightning flashed. All the demons were captured by the palm of your hand.
"Aiya!" The demon screamed, unable to escape. For Lu Yifeng, controlling the electromagnetic force was as easy as waving his hand.
Witnessing the demons being destroyed one by one, Coulson finally breathed a sigh of relief and led everyone closer. However, the ascetic monks gathered together cautiously and kept their distance from Lu Yifeng.
"What's going on here? Wasn't everything peaceful before?" Lu Yifeng looked at Coulson, then glanced at the bitter monk, and asked in confusion.
"This is the truth. They deceived me. The way to salvation they talked about was... to sacrifice the child." Father Moreau gritted his teeth and spoke first, with the most agitated emotions.
He was the one who believed the most. He had promised everyone that this place was safe, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
"This is the best method. The devil's blood flows in his body, and the hidden danger will always exist. Even if Locke, the trial-taker, is not here, other demons will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in in the future. The only way to protect the world is to eliminate it." The leader of the ascetics remained calm and said firmly.
"Just because the devil's blood flows in his body, you want to sacrifice an innocent child. What's your basis for exchanging the life of a child for your so-called righteousness? What qualifications do you have?" Coulson scolded angrily. The other party's behavior has touched his moral bottom line.
"It is not something I can do. No one has this right except the gods." The ascetic monk had a calm face and continued, "So, I originally planned to kill the child and then commit suicide to atone for my sins."
Coulson was speechless when he heard this. The troublesome thing about fanatics is that no matter what the outside world thinks, they always stick to their inner justice and practice it.
"Where is that kid Danny now?" Lu Yifeng looked around but couldn't find any trace of Danny.
"While we were fighting with them, a shadow suddenly appeared and took the child away. We were unable to stop it." Coulson lowered his head.
"It's all because of you guys who are obstructing and helping the devil to succeed. This is really foolish." The leader of the ascetics said unwillingly.
"Since the child is no longer here, there is no point in arguing." Lu Yifeng rarely delved into such moral issues.
"We should now consider how to stop Locke's trial. Do you know where the ritual is?"
"The place where Locke's trial is held is Uzakgektan," said the leader of the ascetics. "It is said to be the closest place between hell and the human world."
"It is the boundary between hell and the mortal world. Where is that difficult-to-pronounce name?" Lu Yifeng looked at Coulson.
"Türkiye, now called Uzbekistan." Coulson showed the map of Eastern Europe in his hand.
"What's the difference with the name just now?" Lu Yifeng spread his hands and said, "Now that I know, I will set off immediately."
As they were about to board the Quinjet, Lu Yifeng suddenly stopped Johnny and said, "You are no longer the extraordinary you once were. Do you really want to go? In a war, we may not be able to protect you."
"I'm sorry, but I must go with you on this trip. I found the child and he trusted me, but I brought him here in the hope of lifting the curse. If I abandon him now, how would I be different from the devil?" Johnny said resolutely.
"Let him go with us, maybe he can help." Luna suddenly spoke, surprising Lu Yifeng. Why would Luna plead for someone who had nothing to do with her? However, when he saw the original scripture in her arms, Lu Yifeng seemed to understand something and finally acquiesced to this matter.
