Chapter 157 The Tragic Demon

It happened in a flash. As Zhang Chen thought about it, he directly marked the Great Freedom Demon. An invisible chain connected the two of them.

At this time, the steel needle was already close to Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen was not panicked. A stream of water appeared at some point and turned into ice to freeze the steel needle in the air.

Since Zhang Chen was going to take action, how could he not be prepared?
He had already stored at least one ton of water in the basement of the room, but the water was hidden under the floor, so Xie Lingyun didn't notice it at all when he walked in.

"Huh? What?"

Xie Lingyun was stunned when she saw the sudden flow of water freezing her steel needle. However, during this moment of distraction, Zhang Chen had already made another move. His mind directly entered the black and white world, and then he grabbed the chain and pulled it. It was incredibly easy, and then a black lotus was pulled out from Xie Lingyun's body.

"What?" Zhang Chen's spirit returned to his body, and he looked at the lotus with astonishment in his eyes. He was clearly pulling the Great Freedom Demon, so how could he pull out a lotus?

When Zhang Chen was stunned, he didn't know that the Great Freedom Demon was even more confused. He stared blankly at the chains locked on his body, then looked at Zhang Chen who was holding one end of the chain opposite him, and Xie Lingyun's body behind him, his eyes full of confusion.

Then the next moment, the Great Freedom Demon turned around without saying a word and was about to get back into Xie Lingyun's body, but who knew that the next moment Zhang Chen pulled the chain and the Great Freedom Demon was pulled directly to the front.

"What the hell is this chain?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at the chain that locked him and was immediately confused. Who was he? A demon that came and went without a trace?

How did he get entangled by the chains?

He finally understood why Zhang Chen was so confident, and also finally understood why he had a bad feeling in his heart the first time he saw Zhang Chen - it was because of this chain.

This chain is the culprit!

The Great Freedom Demon itself is just a strange and weird thing. It does not have any attack power. It does not even have any abilities except traveling through the void and relying on the mind. The display of its strength depends entirely on the host's own strength.

But although this thing is extremely weak, it has an extremely powerful ability, which is immortality and being in the hearts of all living beings.

At this moment, Zhang Chen pulled him out of Xie Lingyun's body, and the Great Freedom Demon's eyes were filled with horror: "Damn it, how is this possible? How can there be such a terrifying ability in the world? This is simply my nemesis!"

He had already thought highly of Zhang Chen, but who knew that he would still fail.

He regretted it so much! He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. It was obvious that if he gave an order, five hundred soldiers would rush in and chop this guy into pieces and feed him to the dogs, but he just couldn't correct his old mistakes and ran over to show off. As a result, he really failed this time.

"I think we can have a talk." The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen, his tone as gentle as it could be.

"Can she be saved?" Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun.

"There is hope! Of course there is hope! Her soul is just sealed by me. As long as I think about it in my mind, I can unlock the seal." said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon, who immediately understood what Zhang Chen meant. He turned around and blew a breath at Xie Lingyun. The next moment, Xie Lingyun's eyelids slowly blinked, and he looked at the lights in front of him with a blank face. He saw Zhang Chen and the black lotus floating in the void.

That was Xie Lingyun's demon, of course she could see it.

"Didn't I already be possessed by the devil and die? Are you dead too?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen with big eyes full of confusion.

"You are still alive. I just happened to master some tricks and pulled the demon out of your body. You are saved! If nothing unexpected happens, you will never be troubled by the demon again in the future." Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun. He always felt that Xie Lingyun was different at this time. There was an inexplicable difference in temperament from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"You have noticed her difference, right?" The Great Freedom Demon turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's face darkened when he heard this: "You have a backup plan?"

"I have no backup plan. I am just a collection of her greed, anger, ignorance and all other evil thoughts. You pull me out of her body, which is equivalent to pulling out all her evil, leaving only the pure and kind her. Now she is a good person, a truly kind person with a heart of a saint." The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen.

"So what do you mean?" Zhang Chen asked.

"She and I are two sides of the same coin. If she doesn't die, I will not perish. You can't kill me. Even if you kill me, I will be resurrected from her soul. So I think we can talk about it. Is there anything we can't talk about?" While speaking, the Great Freedom Demon turned his head and looked at Xie Lingyun: "Girl, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me, I really realized my mistake, please forgive me. I will never dare to hurt others again."

Xie Lingyun came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Chen, then looked at Tianmo, and suddenly asked: "Do you really know your mistake?"

"I really know my mistake. You must give me a chance to reform myself, right?" The Great Freedom Demon said immediately after hearing this.

Then Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen and actually pleaded for him: "Zhang Chen, you see he is quite pitiful. Since he has already realized his mistake, why don't we give him another chance?"

Zhang Chen was speechless after hearing this. He now finally understood what the Great Freedom Demon meant when he said that he possessed all of Xie Lingyun’s greed, anger, and ignorance!
The demon in front of him is all the evil thoughts in Xie Lingyun's heart. It can be said that Xie Lingyun at this moment has not done any evil and is a truly great good person.

"He wants to kill you." Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun with some disbelief in his eyes. Could it be that the aftereffects of losing greed, anger, and ignorance would be so serious?
"But I'm not dead, am I?" Xie Lingyun sighed, his voice full of compassion: "I think he has sincerely repented, and his appearance doesn't seem fake. No one is perfect, and it's great to be able to improve after making mistakes. Why not give him another chance?"

Zhang Chen was speechless upon hearing this, his eyes full of helplessness. He simply ignored Xie Lingyun and turned to look at the Great Freedom Demon: "Is there any solution?"

"Yes! Put me back. I am the dark side of her heart. As long as you put me back to balance her, her personality will naturally return to normal." The Great Freedom Demon said without hesitation.

Zhang Chen's face turned cold when he heard that. He certainly would not let the demon go back. If he let it go, this thing would devour Xie Lingyun's soul sooner or later.

But if Xie Lingyun is pure and kind, without any evil thoughts, that won't work either? If she becomes a saint, it will be hard for him.

"What if I kill you? Will she recover?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon with cold eyes.

"What's the use of you killing me? I will be reborn in Xie Lingyun's heart, and I will be resurrected in a few days." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"I don't believe there is such a thing as immortality in this world!" Zhang Chen's face was fierce. He didn't believe the words of the devil in front of him at all.

The next moment, the light of the righteous god burst out and covered the Great Freedom Demon. The Great Freedom Demon let out a scream, and then disappeared into thin air, without leaving any trace.

The next moment, Zhang Chen activated his skill and sensed the coordinates of the chains. He was stunned: "Four chains?"

Why are there four chains?

One of the chains was linked to Xie Lingyun in front of him, which showed that the demon was indeed reborn in Xie Lingyun's mind.

But where are the other three chains connected?

Zhang Chen's mind moved, and his spirit entered the black and white world again, following the chain. The other end of the first chain was connected to an unknown void. In that unknown void, there was infinite divine light bursting out, and a figure was sitting cross-legged in the divine light.

Zhang Chen recognized him at a glance; that man was the Great Heavenly Master.

Zhang Chen looked along the chain and saw a black flower bud in the body of the Great Taoist Priest. The flower bud was very small, only the size of a fist.

Zhang Chen looked at the second chain. The second chain was actually connected to the female ghost, who was now possessed in a big tree in the Taoist temple.

The third chain linked Gu Mingyue, and the fourth linked Wu Changming.

Zhang Chen was secretly horrified when he saw this scene. He wanted to pull out the chains, but he was afraid to alert the Great Heavenly Master and others. At this time, the demon had already settled in everyone's heart and merged with their spirits. If he activated the chains to pull out the demon, it would be equivalent to shaking the spirits of several people. How could they spare him then?
He doesn't want to be a pushover. What does it have to do with him if these people are infected with evil?
Then Zhang Chen directly grabbed the chain that was linked to Xie Lingyun and pulled out the Great Freedom Demon again. However, the Great Freedom Demon was extremely illusory at this time, and the lotus was almost transparent, without any color at all.

"I've already told you, you can't kill me!" The Great Freedom Demon was alone at this time. He was killed once, and his strength returned to blank, directly to zero. What was there to be afraid of?

"Do you have four other incarnations?" Zhang Chen asked.

"How did you know that?" Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon was stunned. His originally calm eyes once again showed a look of horror: "Boy, you know this too?"

Seeing that Zhang Chen's eyes were increasingly suspicious, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon quickly said, "Those people have demon seeds planted in their bodies by me. What does it have to do with you? It has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this. He certainly didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon in front of him, thinking to himself: "This demon cannot be killed now, so I can only seal it. I wonder if my talisman can seal it."

Seal it yourself first, and then find a solution.

Zhang Chen looked at a jar in the room, pulled the chain, and dragged the Great Freedom Demon into the jar.

"Boy, what are you doing?" The Great Freedom Demon immediately realized that something was wrong and shouted quickly.

"I will seal you." Zhang Chen took the kraft paper to cover the jar, and the next moment the 'Zhen' character that he had drawn before was directly pasted on the jar. Then the whole jar was covered by a silver-white light. This silver-white light was not perceptible to the naked eye. Only those who had opened their Dharma eyes or mastered the mysterious power could see it.

"Ah! Impossible! I am the Great Freedom Demon, invisible, formless and without self. How can there be any power in this world that can seal me?" The Great Freedom Demon in the jar immediately panicked and kept bumping around in the jar, but the jar was suppressed by the character "Zhen", like a solid wall of iron and steel, no matter how it bumped into things, it could not escape.

"Zhang Chen, aren't we being too cruel? He has already admitted his mistakes, shouldn't we give him a chance?" At this time, Xie Lingyun came forward, looking at the Great Freedom Demon sealed in the jar with his eyes, his voice full of pity.

"I'm already giving him a chance. You see, I didn't kill him. I just sealed him up. I'll keep him by my side in the future and persuade him to mend his ways. Isn't that great?" After hearing what Xie Lingyun said, the corners of Zhang Chen's mouth twitched, and then he opened his mouth to forcefully defend himself.

Xie Lingyun fell silent after hearing this. She always felt that there was something wrong with what Zhang Chen said, but she was kind-hearted now and did not doubt Zhang Chen.

"Please sit down." Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun and pointed to the table beside him.

Xie Lingyun sat down and looked at Zhang Chen: "Thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, I would be in trouble."

"Hey, why are you saying so much? You've been very kind to me, I can't just watch you suffer." Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun, and now he had a headache. What should he do with such a naive person in this state? How could he survive in this world?
He has now established a friendship with Xie Lingyun, and will have to count on Xie Lingyun to "chew his legs" in the future. How can he let Xie Lingyun be in this state?
"No matter what, I have to thank you." Xie Lingyun's eyes were very honest, and one could tell at a glance that these were absolutely his true words.

At this time, the demon in the jar was shaking back and forth restlessly. Zhang Chen took out another talisman and stuck it directly on it. After the two talismans, the demon was completely silent.

"Are we being too cruel by doing this?" Xie Lingyun felt very sorry after seeing Zhang Chen's actions.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Even if we believe that he sincerely repents, we still have to teach him a good lesson before we let him go, right? Don't worry, I'll let him go after I've taught him a good lesson." Zhang Chen said these misleading words while looking at Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and stood up and said unhappily: "I just don't have any evil thoughts anymore, I'm not stupid, can I believe this?"
