I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 155: The Battle for the Body
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xie Lingyun was stunned. He looked at Zhang Chen with surprise in his eyes: "What you said is quite interesting. It's a pity that even if there is someone who is destined to be robbed, I can't wait."

Xie Lingyun's voice was filled with sadness: "This is fate, it's my doom! I was so happy when I met you, and I found a way to restrain this devil, but who knew that a trace of the devil's origin would leak out, and it happened to become a trend. This is fate."

Xie Lingyun was innocent. If it weren’t for the previous fight that caused the Demon’s true nature to be leaked, the female ghost wouldn’t have gotten such bad luck that the Demon would have gained power in the outside world.

With this series of coincidences, even the king of heaven would not be able to withstand it.

There is no doubt that Xie Lingyun was extremely unlucky at this time.

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly. Xie Lingyun was extremely unlucky, but what about him? He was implicated, and he was truly innocent! He had the power to restrain the demon, and the demon would never let him go! He had to find a way to save Xie Lingyun. If Xie Lingyun was possessed by the demon, the demon would obtain all of Xie Lingyun's strength and make a breakthrough. He was definitely not the demon's opponent.

So how do we control the devil?
Zhang Chen's eyes swept across the skill panel and finally landed on the Soul Seduction Technique. He thought to himself, "I wonder if I can use the Soul Seduction Technique to draw the Heavenly Demon out of Xie Lingyun's body. But the Heavenly Demon's body resides in Xie Lingyun's mind. Even if I use my Soul Mark, it can only mark Xie Lingyun's soul, not the Heavenly Demon's body. So the key is to lure out the Heavenly Demon's body!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind. At this moment, Xie Lingyun, who was standing opposite him, sighed quietly: "Go back. I want to be alone for a while."

Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Lingyun and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth, sighed, and walked out of the small building. He looked up at the sky, and seemed not to feel the demonic force field that Xie Lingyun mentioned.

At this time, all the disciples and elders gathered in the square and lit incense in the incense burner in the square. The disciples stood in front of the incense burner and prayed silently, praying for the high-level officials of Huang Tiandao to come.

Zhang Chen also joined the team and came behind Cheng Yu, then lowered his voice and asked: "What's the situation now?"

"Before, an elder from the Taoist temple wanted to go down the mountain to deliver a message, but after walking for an hour, he inexplicably returned to the temple. It is said that our Taoist temple has encountered a ghost wall, and everyone is trapped inside the temple. Now the only way we can think of to deliver the message is to burn incense and pray, asking the gods to come and rescue us from suffering." Cheng Yu's face looked unhappy.

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. His eyes swept across the sky and he thought to himself, "Illusion? Where is the illusion? Am I trapped in an illusion without knowing it?"

Finding an opportunity, Zhang Chen came to a secluded place, turned into mist and soared into the sky, flying straight out of the Taoist temple without any resistance.

"Where is the demonic force field?" Zhang Chen stood between the mountains and forests. At this time, he flew ten miles away from the Taoist temple. He looked at the Taoist temple from afar and found nothing.

At this time, Zhang Chen looked down from above and saw that in front of the gate of the Taoist temple, there were more than a dozen elders circling back and forth, constantly walking back and forth, like lost ants, mechanically and repeatedly running fast. They were running breathlessly and sweating profusely, but they just couldn't run out of the gate of the Taoist temple, which was just a few feet away.

A hundred feet outside the Taoist temple, two figures appeared and stood quietly outside the gate of the temple. Both of them looked extremely ugly.

One of them is the ancestor Wu Changming, and the second is the master of the Taoist temple, Liu Feng.

As for Gu Mingyue, no trace of her was seen.

Zhang Chen saw from afar Wu Changming and Liu Feng standing outside the Taoist temple arguing fiercely. Finally, the temple master Liu Feng suddenly threw away his sleeves and rushed into the gate of the Taoist temple without hesitation.

Seeing this, Wu Changming smiled bitterly, wandered in front of the Taoist temple gate for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and rushed in.

"It seems that even a strong man like Wu Changming who can fight against Yang Shen is afraid of this demon! The power of the demon does not lie in its strength, but in its weirdness. Ordinary magical powers can't do anything to it at all."

Zhang Chen took a breath, turned around and went back into the Taoist temple. Although he could leave the temple, he couldn't walk away.

If he doesn't kill that damn demon, he will be hunted down by the demon even if he escapes to the ends of the earth.

As soon as Zhang Chen returned to the Taoist temple, he saw Wu Changming and Liu Feng wandering in front of the gate. The two had been caught before they even crossed the gate.

"It's over, we can't count on these two. Wu Changming used to be able to compete with great Yang Shen realm cultivators like Xie Xuan, but now facing the Sky Demon, he was defeated at the first encounter and he has no power to resist at all." Zhang Chen glanced at the people trapped in the illusion and left quietly.

This illusion works on people's minds, rather than relying on creating a false external environment to trap people. Faced with this power that acts on the mind, the two are completely powerless.

If one wants to resist the power of the Heavenly Demon, one must block the power of the Heavenly Demon outside the body in advance. For example, if the Heavenly Demon wants to attack Zhang Chen, when he approaches Zhang Chen's body, the light of the righteous god on Zhang Chen's body will directly burst out to block it, and the opponent will have no chance to get close to his soul at all.

Zhang Chen came to the square quietly. At this time, everyone in the square had stopped praying, the incense in the incense burner had burned out, and everyone was sitting in front of the square in panic. The elders looked at each other with a hint of despair in their eyes.

All the disciples looked nervous, some were pacing back and forth restlessly, while others were chatting in groups of three or five, loudly venting the depression in their hearts.

"How strange! I have a question in my mind. That demon could trap even a being like Wu Changming with just one encounter. Why didn't he just attack ordinary disciples directly?" Zhang Chen looked at the people in the square, a question arose in his mind.

Then Zhang Chen found Xiao Douding, but saw that Xiao Douding was standing in the square with a frightened face, like a wounded puppy, with panic in his eyes.

Zhang Chen walked forward. When the little kid saw Zhang Chen, he immediately flew over and jumped into Zhang Chen's arms: "Zhang Chen, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"

There was uneasiness in Xiaodouding's voice.

Zhang Chen held the little kid in his arms and said, "I'll go check out the situation."

"Zhang Chen, we won't die here, will we?" There was a hint of fear in the little boy's eyes.

Zhang Chen stroked the little kid's head. He thought it was normal for the little kid to behave like this. After all, no one can face death directly. "Don't be afraid. I'm here. I will never let that monster kill you. Even if I die, I will die before you."

Hearing this, Xiao Douding cursed with embarrassment: "I don't want to die! I want to live well."

Zhang Chen remained silent upon hearing this.

At this time, Xiao Douding suddenly asked: "Zhang Chen?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen responded. "You said that I might have a mental illness, and now my condition has become more serious. In fact, there is no so-called weird harming people? There is no death of my senior brother? All of this is just my imagination." The little bean stared at Zhang Chen, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Zhang Chen's face froze when he heard that. He looked at the little kid and suddenly numerous questions popped up in his mind: Why does the little kid think he is mentally ill?

"You are not mentally ill. Why do you always think you are sick, little guy?" Zhang Chen stroked the little kid's head, his eyes full of helplessness.

The little bean scratched his head and asked unsurely, "Really?"

"Of course it's real, more real than real gold."

Zhang Chen said unhappily.

Time passed quickly. There were only more than 3,000 people gathered together, and some people needed to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep. Some people had to cook, and some had to go to the toilet. When they took inventory in the afternoon, there were more than 50 people missing.

The crowd began to become more and more panicked. Upon seeing this, the elders knew that they had to block the news and the crowd could not gather together. Every notification of bad news was a fatal blow to everyone, which would deepen the restlessness in everyone's hearts and make everyone more uneasy and panicked. They were afraid that if it happened two or three more times, before the weirdness could continue to attack, the disciples would be in chaos. No one could predict what crazy things they would do under the extreme pressure.

"Everyone go back and wait. No one is allowed to leave the house or contact each other without orders." The law enforcement elder said with a gloomy face.

He was afraid that his disciples would be heartbroken by the constant bad news.

Moreover, more than 3,000 people gathered together, which seemed to be of no use in resisting the monster.

In this case, it is better to block the news. From now on, everyone can only wish for good luck and pray to save their lives before the gods come.

Zhang Chen held Cheng Yu in his arms and returned to his own cottage, thinking about how to get rid of the demon.

“Now, the only thing I can try is my soul-snatching skills.” A thought flashed through Zhang Chen’s mind, and then he began to meditate and practice Qi.

The little kid didn't go back upstairs either. He stayed beside Zhang Chen and refused to go anywhere.

At noon, the lunch bell rang and the disciples could go out to have lunch. Thousands of people were mixed together and it was unknown how many people had disappeared in the morning.

That night
In Xie Lingyun's attic, black air was seen swirling around Xie Lingyun, a lotus flower flickered in his eyes, and demonic sounds rang out around him.

"you failed!"

At this moment, the voice of the devil suddenly came from Xie Lingyun's body.

A black lotus flashed in Xie Lingyun's eyes, and he kept struggling, but he was still unable to escape the suppression of the black lotus.

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it! It's not that I'm not as good as you, it's just that I'm unlucky." Xie Lingyun's voice was hoarse and full of unwillingness.

"Haha, destiny is also a kind of strength. To be honest, if you hadn't asked the master Huang Tiandao to take action, and shattered a strand of my origin when I was unprepared, allowing that wronged soul to get my fate and become my incarnation, I really would not be able to turn the tables, and would really be suppressed by that bastard. What a pity, after all, you were one step behind, and the fate is on my side." The voice of the demon was full of pride.

"But your soul actually has the Yama Seal in it. It will take some time to wipe out your soul. But it doesn't matter. You have lost the power to resist now. I will temporarily lock up your soul and suppress it in your acupoints. It will not affect my control of this body."

As Tian Mo spoke, a black lotus gathered inside Xie Lingyun's body, transforming into a purple-black lotus that wrapped Xie Lingyun's soul, and then turned into a bud that closed. "It only takes 49 days for me to refine your soul, and I can also take away your treasure. It couldn't be better."

The next moment, Xie Lingyun's eyes were completely occupied by black light. Then Xie Lingyun slowly stood up, and his body moved stiffly, like a robot, so stiff that it was impossible to look at him.

Just as Xie Lingyun moved his joints, after an hour, he was like a machine with oil, his movements became smoother and there was no longer any obscurity, and he was already exactly the same as the real Xie Lingyun.

Pushing open the window and taking a deep breath of the outside air, Xie Lingyun sighed softly: "It feels so good to be alive."

"Now I have to deal with that damn bastard first. That golden light is really weird. Even I can restrain it. I don't know where that golden light came from. I will not be at peace until I get rid of this person. That kid was right before. He is my calamity, but I don't believe that he, an ant, can make me face the calamity. Especially now that I have mastered Xie Lingyun's body and completely obtained Xie Lingyun's power, I can already exert the power of possession. The only thing that the kid can rely on is a golden light. Although that golden light can restrain the strange power of the soul, it cannot restrain the power of the material world. I have the power to control matter. If I can't kill him, an ant, then my life will be in vain!" Then I saw 'Xie Lingyun' moving his wrist, and then walked downstairs, looking at the hundreds of armored guards outside the pavilion, and at this time a thought flashed in his mind:
"I have hundreds of armored guards. If I send them to surround and kill him, he will be chopped into pieces. But I made too much noise, so it may not stand up to scrutiny. Old guy Xie Xuan is always watching me."

Xie Lingyun dismissed the idea and said to himself, "The most important thing is that the little thief hurt me twice. If I don't kill him with my own hands, I will not be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart. My thoughts are not going smoothly."

She had an obsession in her heart that was not clear.

"Greetings, my lord."

Seeing Xie Lingyun coming downstairs, the guards guarding the pavilion knelt down and saluted.

"Everyone stand up." Xie Lingyun waved his hand casually, then walked away in a red robe like a ball of fire.

However, Xie Lingyun had only walked a dozen meters when he saw a guard blocking his way: "Sir, it is said that there is something strange going on in Huangli Temple, and hundreds of people have died. It is not safe outside. You should stay in the attic. It will not be too late for you to go out after Huang Tiandao eliminates the strangeness."

Xie Lingyun paused, a sneer appeared on his face: "Don't forget what my specialty is in the Inspection Department. Is it just a weird thing that I am afraid of?"

Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, the guard was stunned. Then he remembered Xie Lingyun's reputation in the Inspection Office. Many monsters had fallen into his hands before, and then he quickly retreated.

There is no doubt about Xie Lingyun's strength in the Inspection Office.

Seeing the guard retreat, Xie Lingyun raised the corner of his mouth and disappeared at the end of the path.

He wanted revenge! He wanted to eliminate the hidden danger himself! He wanted to grind that kid to ashes with his own hands!
