Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

"Use? How could I dare to use the people of your Jinzhen Temple? You're joking." Hei Tong concealed the fleeting glint of malice in his eyes, only smiling and lowering his stance.

"Don't overthink it. Don't think I can't see through your intentions."

The man snorted coldly, pushed open the doors on both sides, and turned to walk inside.

"Keep up!"

Kurohime then followed the man with her head down until they entered the temple.

......

The entire temple fell into a deathly silence.

The once brightly lit temple was now completely dark. Black Eyes followed the man, turning left and right, until they finally saw a brightly lit meditation room.

Apart from this meditation room, there was no light anywhere, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Thinking of Hui De, who was all smiles on the outside but cold on the inside, Hei Tong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

People say that there is a highly virtuous master in Jinzhen Temple. The master has a kind face and is the kindest person in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

But Hei Tong had learned about this master and had even interacted with him.

Although there was no conflict of interest, this master didn't seem to be the person the outside world was talking about.

His face resembled that of a Buddha, but his heart was that of a snake.

He had personally witnessed how Huide dealt with those who disobeyed him. Although he didn't personally lift a finger, his orders were always clear and unambiguous.

Jinzhen Temple holds a certain symbolic significance in Diyi, but more importantly, it represents the state's reliance on it.

In Dianyi, the truly powerful and skilled mystics masters are all at Jinzhen Temple.

Those within the country can only be said to have barely touched the edge.

I wonder what position that woman would be in here, and whether she could fight against the sorcerers in Jinzhen Temple.

What he knew was that Bianyi had lost his ability as a mystic, so he was powerless against Jingli. But Bianyi used to be incredibly arrogant, and very few people in Dianyi could personally fight him.

Black Eyes pondered, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Thinking about how her life's work had suffered such a huge blow, Kuroko's anger surged uncontrollably into her mind.

I guess that woman is dead by now! If she's not, then it's a good opportunity to sow discord among them, so they won't take their anger out on him over the matter of Bian Yi's death.

His purpose in coming here was to sow discord between the manager and, on the other hand, to remove himself from the picture.

If Jing Li dies, that would be just what I wanted; if Jing Li is lucky enough to survive, then she can take the blame for Jin Zhen Temple's wrath.

Then she will realize that dying at the hands of Jinzhen Temple was not as good as dying at her own hands from the beginning.

Jinzhen Temple is full of people who devour others without spitting out the bones.

Led by that person, Hei Tong walked straight into the meditation room.

"Master! The person has been brought!" He was following his master's orders and waiting for Hei Tong, and he didn't expect that he would actually see him.

As expected, Master's judgment was correct.

"Come in!" The voice was authoritative and heavy.

The wooden door creaked.

Pushing open the door, Hei Tong saw the scene inside. Hui De, who was called Master, was facing away from the door, and there was a Buddha statue in the center of the meditation room.

Two rows of bald monks sat on the cushions on either side.

Hui De's back view truly resembled that of an enlightened monk, dignified and exuding a sense of solemnity.

Apart from Hui De, everyone in the room had their eyes on Hei Tong, with only the sound of a wooden fish being struck in front of them.

No one said a word. Even Bian Er, who brought him in, stood there solemnly, motionless.

An unusual atmosphere permeated the air.

Black Eyes' thoughts churned, but he quickly composed himself.

No one could have imagined that the leader who had always dominated the area would suddenly kneel down and begin to repent when faced with such a situation, "Master Huide, Master Bianyi is dead. It was all because of a woman. That woman was a sorcerer who killed Master Bianyi when he was in a bad physical condition."

His dark eyes revealed deep sorrow and grief.

His words were all about defending the innocent and standing up for the wronged.

"clatter--"

"Da da—"

The sound of the wooden fish abruptly stopped.

All the monks who had been looking at the black-eyed monks withdrew their gazes, lowered their heads, clasped their hands together, and silently murmured, "Amitabha."

“Master, this man has ill intentions. We should just chop him up and feed him to the dogs.”

Bian Er spoke fiercely, glancing sideways at the black pupils on the ground.

Black Eyes' face darkened, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes.

"presumptuous--"

The voice echoed in the empty meditation room, “To utter such arrogant words before the Buddha is punishable.”

"Go back to your room and copy Buddhist scriptures."

After being reprimanded by the person in front, Bian Er's face turned cold. He stared at Hei Tong, snorted coldly, and left without looking back.

After Bian Er left, Hei Tong let out a long sigh, then spoke up again, still feeling indignant, "Master Hui De, you must avenge Master Bian Yi! I've known him for many years and we've become good friends. Now that my friend has been murdered, I couldn't save him in time..."

As he spoke, he silently lowered his head, his voice choked with emotion.

Hui De stopped turning the prayer beads and slowly stood up. A young monk immediately came forward to help him up.

"Master, you're not fully recovered yet; you just... this morning..."

The moment Senior Brother Bianyi died, Master suffered a backlash and is now barely able to support his body, yet he still has to come and personally question this person.

Thinking of this, the little monk couldn't help but glare at Black Eyes.

"It's alright." He took the little monk's hand and slowly turned around.

His face looked tired, wrinkled, dry, and rough.

Black Eyes' gaze gradually moved upwards, and he saw a fleeting killing intent in Hui De's eyes. But it was only for a moment, and by the time Black Eyes looked more closely, it had already disappeared without a trace.

"I don't blame you for Bianyi's death, but you have to grant me one request."

Hui-te's voice is charitable, but a closer listen reveals an undeniable warning.

Thinking that she could avoid being implicated, Hei Tong quickly agreed, "Master Hui De, please say what you want. As long as it's within my power, I will agree."

"You may all step back!" Hui De instructed the people on both sides.

Those people glared angrily at the dark eyes, and finally walked out reluctantly.

They were not entirely satisfied with Master Huide's actions, but no one objected because they respected him greatly.

......

......

After eating her fill in the lab, Jing Li originally wanted to take a short nap, but unexpectedly ended up sleeping for twelve hours.

She felt hungry again as soon as she woke up.

She pinched the bridge of her nose before getting up from the operating table where the girl who had died earlier had been.

Nangong Qian was not beside her.

Jing Li was puzzled. As soon as she turned her head, she met Nangong Qian's pleading eyes.

Her neck was being tightly gripped again; it was Lin Zishan, who had changed once more.

"Why don't you run away? Or wake me up?" Jing Li said helplessly.

This formation is consuming too much of her spiritual energy, and the outer formation resisting the human gu is also about to collapse.
