Chapter 1 The Existence in the Main Temple

Of course, Yuan Muye knew that his ability to move forward wasn't due to his own strength, but rather the existence within the main temple that allowed him to enter.

However, compared to the last time, Yuan Muye had a bit more confidence. After all, this time the system told him that with his current strength, he couldn't actually help the existence in the main temple.

But having reached this level of strength, Yuan Muye felt he still needed to confirm Liang Senyu's safety.

Yet, if Yuan Muye directly stated that his Ning Yuan realm strength couldn't help the existence in the main temple break the seal, the existence wouldn't believe him. It was better for Yuan Muye not to say anything.

He would wait and directly demonstrate his strength.

Then it wouldn't be able to find fault.

When Yuan Muye arrived near the main temple, he found that it was indeed in a dilapidated state, with severe damage everywhere.

It felt as if a fierce conflict had occurred here, a conflict that had destroyed the temple.

Yuan Muye couldn't help but think that perhaps when this temple suppressed the evil spirit, it had come at a great cost.

Yuan Muye's thoughts were heavy. He didn't linger and quickly continued inside.

Inside the temple, he found it was equally dilapidated.

If it weren't for a few pillars supporting the main structure, the temple would have collapsed long ago.

Standing in the broken temple, Yuan Muye's heart was incredibly tense, and it began to beat faster uncontrollably.

A strange wind blew past his ears, a very fine and subtle breeze, but Yuan Muye could feel it clearly.

This made him even more uneasy.

There was no sign of the evil spirit in the temple, but the yin energy was extremely heavy.

If he hadn't known beforehand that this was a temple, Yuan Muye would never have believed it was a sacred Buddhist site.

Just then, Yuan Muye noticed something moving. Upon closer inspection, it was the black Qi entwined around the pillars.

The black Qi swirled around the pillars but couldn't break free.

Yuan Muye felt the oppressive force emanating from the black Qi on the pillars.

Was this the evil spirit inside?

The black Qi had no specific form. Yuan Muye tentatively asked, "Are you the one who spoke to me?"

Yuan Muye stared intently at the pillar. After a moment, the evil spirit replied, "That's right, it is I."

"You're trapped here, unable to escape? I think you're very strong. Are you doing this on purpose?"

After Yuan Muye finished speaking, the evil spirit suddenly let out a cold laugh but didn't answer.

The laugh clearly contained a hint of mockery.

It thought Yuan Muye was talking nonsense.

Yuan Muye didn't care and cut straight to the point, "If I help you break the seal, will you release the person?"

"Of course, I keep my word."

Actually, Yuan Muye was still somewhat nervous and unsure how to handle this matter.

After a moment, Yuan Muye said, "If I save you, regardless of whether I succeed or not, will you release the person? Of course, I promise to do my best."

After Yuan Muye finished speaking, the evil spirit didn't respond.

About a minute passed.

The evil spirit still didn't speak. Yuan Muye couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't think much of it. No."

The evil spirit said directly.

Hearing this, Yuan Muye's heart sank. He said, "Why are you quibbling with a woman over our affairs? How about this, if I don't succeed, I'll definitely come back and help you again next time, how's that?"

Yuan Muye's words displeased the evil spirit.

Suddenly, it released a strong burst of yin energy, instantly bringing immense pressure to Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye couldn't even stand steadily, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

But Yuan Muye held on. He said, "I'm here to help you. Are you sure you want to waste my Zhenqi? Do you think that's beneficial to you?"

Yuan Muye's words immediately stopped the evil spirit's attack.

The evil spirit said to him, "You must remember that you only have the right to follow my orders, not to bargain with me, understand?"

Yuan Muye knew that now wasn't the time to argue with the evil spirit, so he said, "I understand."

Yuan Muye didn't waste any time and asked, "What do I need to do to help you break the seal?"

"It's very simple."

As soon as it finished speaking, it began to spin around the pillar, and a gust of yin wind rose like a whirlwind.

But as its movements grew larger, the seemingly ordinary pillar suddenly emitted a golden light, with runes flashing on it.

The black Qi was quickly suppressed.

The evil spirit let out a scream, a short scream, and after a few seconds, peace was restored.

Yuan Muye was shocked by the scene before him.

This was something Yuan Muye hadn't expected at all. It was truly eye-opening.

"Are you asking me to destroy these runes?"

"Yes, that's right. Go."

Yuan Muye hummed in agreement.

When he reached the pillar, Yuan Muye didn't feel any power.

It was as if this pillar was nothing special, giving the impression that everything was normal.

"Boy, if I sense that you're not using your full strength, you know the consequences."

"I know, but I still want to say, if I don't succeed this time, can you release her and place the restriction on me instead? Controlling my life is more useful than controlling hers."

Yuan Muye said calmly.

The evil spirit listened to my words and thought there might be some truth to it, so it said, "I will consider this matter."

Hearing this, Yuan Muye gradually gained some confidence.

He reached out and touched the pillar. At first, the pillar didn't react.

But when Yuan Muye injected Zhenqi into it.

Suddenly, a tremendous force instantly counterattacked Yuan Muye.

In an instant, Yuan Muye's body suffered a huge impact, sending him flying backward.

Yuan Muye wanted to control his body, but the force made it impossible for him to stabilize.

With this massive impact, Yuan Muye crashed to the ground, creating a deep pit.

His Qi and blood surged immediately, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
