Chapter 531: Chapter 90: Dharma King Temple_2

So everyone cast a Buddha statue, and before that old monk died, he sealed it inside.

At first, the Buddha statue did indeed radiate Buddhahood every day, protecting a ten-mile radius around Dharma King Temple.

However, as time passed, the Buddha statue gradually began to change, and suddenly one day, the statue opened its eyes, transforming into a fierce Ghost-faced Buddha. The sounds of chanting and praying turned into sinister whispers, driving anyone who heard them insane. In just one day, Dharma King Temple turned into hell.

What happened afterward is unknown, only some of the earliest escaping peasants and monks brought back vague and unclear news.

Since then Dharma King Temple has become an ominous place, rife with many bizarre legends, it is said that the temple’s bell would suddenly ring.

Those monks’ lost souls were reawakened, walking in the temple, and even that Ghost-faced Buddha would sometimes come to life.

It is said that someone also saw from afar the Buddhahood reemerging above Dharma King Temple, as if it had returned to the scene from hundreds of years ago.

Ordinary people dare not approach, heh heh, but quite a few returnees have run over to investigate.

Xiao Jie was startled, "People have been there?"

The old captain chuckled: "Of course, people have been there. You know what those Returning Villagers are like. They say there’s many secret books and Magic Artifacts buried in the temple, so people often go there to treasure hunt."

Xiao Jie thought if people had been there, then it was simple. He feared places no one had been before, where who knows what kind of monsters could spawn.

He walked down from the city wall and headed to the square. As he passed the blacksmith shop, he ran into someone familiar—the Female Blade Master who was saved by I Want to Be Immortal yesterday.

The Female Blade Master seemed to be getting ready to depart.

"Hey, got time to chat?"

The Female Blade Master looked surprised, but considering yesterday’s events, she hummed, "What’s up?"

"Do you know about Dharma King Temple?"

"Yeah, I’ve gone with a team to fight there. Whenever the bell rings in that temple, a lot of ghosts will spawn. There’s also a Buddha statue in the temple, don’t touch it carelessly, once you attack it a Boss-level Boss will spawn.

It’s sure to drop a Skill Book, I’ve heard that some even dropped a Supreme Divine Skill, but when we went, we didn’t dare to fight it and only farmed some Little Monsters."

"What’s the deal with ringing the bell?"

"I’m not too sure myself, I just followed friends there. At that time we had a pro player leading the expedition who said we could enter a hidden map by ringing the bell, but it just summoned a bunch of ghosts instead. Although we got a lot of experience, nothing dropped. We left after Leveling to Level 9."

"What about that pro player?"

"He died in the Yin Tide yesterday."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, alright...

"Thanks."

"No need to be courteous, I haven’t even thanked you guys for yesterday."

"Heh, are you leaving?"

"Yeah, it’s too dangerous without a Master of Magic leading."

"Bon voyage."

After bidding farewell to the Female Blade Master, Xiao Jie reached the square and joined up with everyone.

Ye Luo asked, "How did it go? Did you figure everything out?"

"Pretty much." He recounted the information he had gathered.

I Want to Be Immortal voiced his concern: "Feng, that girl wouldn’t want us to help her fight the BOSS, would she? We might struggle a bit against a Boss-level Boss."

But Xia Yi the Unrivaled confidently said: "What’s there to fear, we have this great expert right here—but I haven’t reached full level in my Swordsmanship, which is indeed risky. How about we wait until I upgrade my Ao Tian Divine Sword to Ten Layers, achieve Satori in some secret technique, and then fight?"

Xiao Jie thought to himself, can you not be so overconfident.

It became clear to him that Xia Yi the Unrivaled was truly someone brimming with confidence, there was a feeling as if he thought he was the main character.

"Let’s not. If we’re really fighting a BOSS, just forget it. We can just switch to another map for Leveling. At worst, we just level up slower—it’s not worth it to take too big of a risk just to save time."

As they were talking, a female player wearing a tight black outfit approached.

"Excuse me, were you the one who just contacted me?"

Fish That Don’t Eat Cats (Flying Thief): Level 24. Life Value 440.

"That’s right, it was me. But before we set off, I need to be clear, what exactly is the ghost you need to purify? It’s not that Ghost-faced Buddha, is it?"

"No, no, I’m not crazy. It’s just an ordinary lost soul. His word represents the survivors of Dharma King Temple who fled and propagated. Recently, I’ve been dreaming of ancestors who say they’re trapped in Dharma King Temple and hope the descendants will rescue them soon. My mission is to purify these ancestors and then bring back the body."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was good. In that case, it should only be a Normal Little Monster, at most an Elite Monster.

"Okay, but you have to prepay us with five Purification Talismans. I can pay for them—as if we’re buying them."

"Deal."

The other party initiated the trade and put the five Purification Talismans on the trading window.

Xiao Jie put up 20 taels of Silver, and after the trade was completed, he distributed one talisman to each person, then nodded, "Alright, let’s depart."

The party of five left Soul Suppressing Pass and headed southwest towards the Ancient Battlefield.

Slashing through enemies like cutting vegetables, they incidentally Level up along the way.

Actually, the usage rate of Purification Talismans isn’t very high, not even one or two a day, mainly as a precaution.

With Purification Talismans in hand, they naturally had more confidence, and Xia Yi the Unrivaled fought with abandon.

Xiao Jie naturally wouldn’t refuse to join in, as the experience wasn’t split evenly—the higher the damage dealt, the more experience earned.

The few of them hacked their way through like chopping vegetables, leaving Fish That Don’t Eat Cats dumbfounded.

"Wow, you guys are so powerful in combat," said Fish That Don’t Eat Cats, admiringly observing the efficiency with which the group cleared monsters.
