The divine power of 'Tenming Shrine' far exceeds that of 'Wuzhi Shrine'. Lin Xun has to face not only an unknown and powerful BOSS, but also many clergy who have been enhanced by the divine power.

It is undoubtedly a big problem to conquer the shrine.

However, it is not Lin Xun's character to be persuaded to give up without trying the difficulties and obstacles involved.

He decided to wait until late at night and go to the temple alone to give it a try...

Pretending to appease Senior Sister, he left the ‘Shrine of Photography Society’.

Lin Xun stayed away from the many pilgrims in the shrine and hid outside the shrine to try out the 'Ninja Master''s stealth skills.

In the 'Wuzhi Shrine', after the ninja master started his escape, he could only vaguely see a vague transparent figure.

However, outside the 'Tianming Shrine', epic-level escape techniques can only make the figure slightly hazy and cannot achieve the effect of invisibility.

Although Lin Xun was mentally prepared, he could only sigh helplessly.

Time passed into the middle of the night, and he resurrected the shikigami "Slippery Ghost", switched into the body of "Greed Wolf Star Lord", and sneaked into the shrine again...

[The clouds obscured the moonlight and starlight in the late night, making it look eerily silent.]

[You are flying thousands of feet high in the sky with your sword, overlooking the top of Tianming Mountain below. There is no noise in the shrine during the day, only the oppressive and silent darkness. 】

[You gather your true energy, focus your eyes, and look around. There are only a few guards on duty in the shrine, carrying lights and patrolling back and forth...]

[For the huge ‘Tenmei Shrine’, just a few out-of-service patrols are full of loopholes and blind spots, and cannot serve any purpose in warning foreign enemies. 】

[However, it is not surprising that the ‘Tianming Shrine’ has a transcendent status. It enshrines the statue of the only true god ‘Canggu Tianyan’. The believers and pilgrims have not had time to worship, so how can they dare to desecrate the shrine? 】

[As for the ‘evil remnants’, most of them have disappeared. Even if there are survivors, they are all hiding in the wilderness and deep mountains. They are terrified all day long, and they dare not set foot in Kyoto. 】

[Soon, several officers completed their patrols and returned to their dormitories to rest...]

[It is now the middle of the night, and it won’t be long before the ‘Worship Ceremony’ mentioned by ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ will begin. 】

[You lower the height quietly, and your sword falls to the ground...]

[You are hiding in the shadow of the corner outside this hall. In the dim night, unless you deliberately patrol here with a light, you will not be found. 】

[Suddenly, you feel something in your heart and look into the distance...]

[I saw a dense crowd of people gathering in the direction of Shesu. It is estimated that the number is nearly a hundred people.]

[They did not make the slightest sound, and slowly and silently approached the main hall. Apart from the neat and gentle footsteps, you could not hear any other sounds. 】

[As the crowd approaches, you can clearly see that the leader is wearing white clothes and hakama, with the noble and auspicious pattern of the dark gray "Hatsuto Maru" painted on the clothes. 】

[For top shrines such as ‘Tenmei Shrine’, only the palace minister with the highest status in the shrine and who is in charge of everything can wear such clothes.]

[You discovered the ‘evil Tenmei Shrine Palace Priest’! 】

[The palace minister was expressionless all the way, not just him, but also the many clergymen behind him. The expressions of nearly a hundred people were exactly the same, making you feel an inexplicable depression. 】

[The palace minister approached the main gate of the main hall and waved away the invisible barrier of Tamagaki. Under its leadership, nearly a hundred people filed into the main hall...]

[You quietly walk back to the main entrance of the temple, only to see that the door has been tightly closed, and the undulating figures reflected on the paper are silently telling you that the worship ceremony is about to begin. 】

[You step lightly and don't make a single sound. You are taking advantage of the barrier to be removed and step into the scope of this temple. 】

[You enter the Tamagaki barrier, circle back to the back of the main hall again, and wait quietly for the worship ceremony to end. 】

[At that time, when the palace minister and his party leave, you can secretly sneak into the palace. 】

[It’s just that when the palace minister leaves, the barrier will definitely rise again. If there is a barrier blocking you, you will probably be trapped and locked in the palace, unable to leave...]

【Are you going to continue to lurk, or just retreat? 】

Lin Xun didn't care. The one-way ticket didn't matter. If he couldn't get out of trouble, he would commit suicide and return to the city for free.

He stared at the game text and waited silently.

I don’t know how long it took before the game text changed.

[Suddenly, an invisible hand fell on your shoulder. You were startled and turned around to swing your sword, but saw the figure of 'Moon City Purple Leaf' appearing and standing behind you. 】

[Yuecheng Ziye stares at the ‘Dragon Sword Authentic’ in your hand, and carefully asks softly, benefactor? 】

[It has seen the scene where you transformed into a giant and fought with the 'Ninja Master' in the illusion of the 'Wu Zhi Shrine', and it knows that your exotic spells are extremely mysterious and can transform into both a warlock and a strongman. 】

[Although you look like a strange swordsman at this time, it learned your identity through the 'Dragon Sword Authentic'...]

"Damn! What are you doing here, Senior Sister?"

Lin Xun came to this hall this time with the determination to exchange his life for intelligence clues. As long as he had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the BOSS in this hall, even if he died once, it wouldn't be a loss.

He can be resurrected from the dead, but the senior sister cannot be resurrected. If he dies, it will really be a disaster.

[You want to drive away the 'Moon City Purple Leaf' to go into danger alone, but you see it holding a 'big naginata' in one hand and a golden 'Kagura Bell' in the other, shaking its head firmly. 】

[‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ reminded in a low voice that the divine power of ‘Tenmei Shrine’ surpasses all shrines. It can also receive strength gains like other clergy members. My benefactor, please don’t underestimate it. 】

[Moreover, it was lurking at the gate of the main palace that day, but it was safe and sound the next day after it was discovered...With it protecting you, even if you are discovered by the palace minister, you might still be able to escape.]

[You were about to continue to persuade it to leave, but you saw ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ signaling you to be silent. 】

[You look towards the main hall. There are no longer any dense crowds of people on the paper. There is a creaking sound of the door being opened in front of the main hall. 】

[As the neat footsteps fade away, you feel an invisible solid force gradually surround you and the entire main hall. You know that the Tamagaki barrier has risen, trapping the two of you here.]

[At this time, you can only take ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ to explore this temple. 】

[When everything is completely silent, you poke your head out and look around. The shrine is completely silent, and not a single soul can be seen.]

[You guys go back to the front of the hall...]

[Do you want to open the door of this temple and explore the unknown inside? 】

Lin Xun directly summoned his three powerful babies, Valkyrie, Snow Girl, and Slippery Ghost.

He also gave Tanlang Xingjun fully armed, wielding the sword "Dragon Sword Masamune", the right hand "Uzuki Onikiri", the left hand "Ancient Dragon Fang Giant Stick", and wearing the "Dragon Knight's Regenerated Scale Armor"...

"I have worked very hard to keep Senior Sister alive."

At this time, he transformed into a humanoid armory, completely ignoring the stunned senior sister on the side.

Take a deep breath and press the door open option.

[With a squeak, you slowly push open the main door of the temple...]

[The lights in this hall are brightly lit, and the candles are not extinguished. You can have a panoramic view of everything in the hall.]

[I saw a huge shadow surrounded by black energy on the altar deep in the temple. 】

[There are countless black branches and leaves as thick as a giant python, entwined with each other, and delicate and dark flowers are blooming, beautiful and weird. 】

[The branches and leaves squirm, revealing a faint flame inside. It is the ‘fire of evil karma’ that is about to be extinguished, and it is also the statue of the main god trapped in the quagmire of evil thoughts! 】

【Your eyes are firmly attracted by the statue of the god, and you cannot move away even one bit! 】

[Endless evil thoughts breed from the bottom of your heart and occupy all your thoughts.]

[You just want to use your sword to kill wantonly and kill all the living creatures in this temple! 】

【……】

"Oops!"

Lin Xun was surprised to find that the senior sister was next to him...

[‘Valkyrie’ immediately took out the ‘Little Devil Shikigami Rattle’, the bell echoed, and eighteen green-faced and fanged little devils surrounded you. 】

[You hold the sword secret with your hand, the sword light flashes vertically and horizontally, and you will kill more than ten little evil ghosts.]

[The evil thoughts in your heart suddenly fade away like a tide, and just when you are about to breathe a sigh of relief, you see 'Tsukijo Murasaki' next to you with a weird smile on her face, holding a large naginata and attacking you with a sword! 】

[Not only that, the shikigami ‘Snow Girl’ and shikigami ‘Slippery Ghost’ behind you both have this expression, and they all attack you! 】

[You use ‘Dragon Sword Masamune’ to repel ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ with one sword, and then quickly retreat! 】

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】

[You form a seal and recite a mantra to freeze the two shikigami who dare to attack the master, and then wave the 'Yu Zhen' to activate the 'Edict to Suppress Evil' to cancel the summons.]

[‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ swings its sword at you again. This time the sword light is extremely fast and violent. It is obviously that it used all its strength. With the bonus of the divine power, even you dare not be careless with such a sharp sword. 】

[‘Valkyrie’ shakes the bell again, and eighteen little evil spirits appear to block the sharp sword light for you. 】

[The figure of 'Moon City Purple Leaf' flashed like a ghost, and killed all eighteen little evil ghosts in just a moment...]

[It suddenly woke up, put away its weird smile, and did not dare to look at the statue deep in the temple. 】

[You should quickly exit this hall and try not to let the evil flame light affect yourselves.]

"Fortunately, I have Senior Sister following me, so I can summon the Valkyrie, the autonomous awakening girl. Otherwise, I would have returned to the city for free by now."

"It turns out that the last time Senior Sister saw the statue in the temple, she didn't faint, but was controlled by evil thoughts."

"But how did she get rid of her evil thoughts?"

Lin Xun felt extremely frightened just thinking about it, and quickly shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts.

[You don’t know what to do outside the gate of this temple. Now there is a statue of a god in this temple that has been infected by extremely evil thoughts. As long as you step inside, you will be controlled by evil thoughts. 】

[And there is a jade wall barrier outside this hall, so you cannot leave this place. 】
