The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 854: Terrifying when you think about it
The white tiger had a good plan in mind, but before it could look away, it met the gaze of the dragon spirit.

The dragon and the tiger faced off, creating a scene reminiscent of a fierce battle between two tigers.

However, Long Ling just smiled and looked away, but this did not make Bai Hu feel better. On the contrary, he felt that he was being looked down upon.

An unnamed anger simmered in Baihu's heart, and he could not dispel it no matter what he did.

But it was clear that it was at a disadvantage in the current situation, and it shouldn't make its situation worse for the sake of a few words.

The white tiger immediately stopped paying attention to anyone and buried its head in its sleep, preferring to stay out of sight!

Long Ling slowly finished drinking the water that the little paper figure had poured for him.

Only then did he stand up and look at Xie Xuzhi: "I have delivered all your people to you, and I have also cleared away most of the dangers in this underground palace."

"You can handle the rest yourself. I'm going to find Yunran and Junior Uncle."

After saying that, Long Ling ignored Xie Xuzhi's refusal and turned to look at the little paper figure next to her.

"Lead the way for me, I need to get into the Demon-Sealing Tower!"

The little paper dolls' tiny brains worked for a moment. Their master had instructed them to protect Director Xie and keep an eye on the white tiger.

There were no other instructions given, meaning it was free to make its own decisions.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Another day of regretting that I never learned any esoteric techniques before.

Otherwise, neither the dragon spirit nor the little paper doll would have taken it for granted that they could do whatever they wanted simply by notifying him.

However, knowing the dragon spirit's methods, he saw no need to stop it.

With Long Ling inside, she can be considered a helper to Yun Ran.

After reaching an agreement, the little paper figure and the dragon spirit appeared in the entrance gate of the Xuanmen in a flash.

"Dragon King, good luck! I'm heading back now!"

After saying that, the little paper figure disappeared, and when it returned to Xie Xuzhi's side, it only took a few seconds.

Long Ling pasted a lot of talismans on his body before pushing open the black iron gate and slowly walking inside.

It's unclear whether he was carrying many magical artifacts he'd seen from the stone pillars, but the path, which had been constantly shifting, remained unchanged.

Looking at the stone wall, which was full of pits and bumps, Long Ling immediately understood that this was the passage that the little paper doll had mentioned had been hollowed out by Yun Ran and the ginseng fruit.

"What a money-grubber! So many powerful demon cores, and he managed to dig them all out, not a single one left!"

(Yun Ran shakes her head, protesting her innocence: Bullshit, I kept a lot of defective products!)

Fortunately, his eyesight is excellent; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell which way was which in this pitch-black place.

As she walked, Long Ling heard the clanging sound of iron chains.

Instead of being afraid, the dragon spirit increased its speed considerably.

Soon, he came to a spacious area.

Countless iron chains were carved deep into the stone wall, and at the other end of the chains were countless people tied to it.

This scene immediately reminded Long Ling of what it had seen in the Sakura Country when it didn't yet have a physical form.

In that huge underground fortification, there were many people hanging in mid-air. Although most of them were dead, there were still a few alive.

One of them looked exactly like Tan Chengbi, Yunran's "good friend".

Long Ling gasped in shock: "No way, no way? Could it be that the place we broke into back then was actually a simplified version of this Demon-Locking Tower?" The body he possessed was the very one who caused trouble there, and coincidentally, the master of the Gu God Palace...

Many things, when you don't expect them, you don't realize what they are, and you might even think they are just coincidences.

But once you connect the dots, it's terrifying to think about.

"Could it be that the people of the Gu God Temple are actually in cahoots with these men in black robes?"

Long Ling is now really eager to meet Yun Ran and go over the accounts together. Maybe they can actually find some new clues.

Those chained up seemed to have been stimulated, howling and screaming like ghosts, and their destructive power was astonishing.

Many of the nearby stone walls have suffered extensive damage.

The only thing that felt a little off was that these people seemed to have no way of dealing with the iron chains.

As if possessed, Long Ling picked up the magical artifact she had taken from the stone pillar earlier and weighed it in her hand.

Then he approached one of them, who was clearly insane and possessed immense destructive power.

However, he ignored the dragon spirit holding the magic weapon, and even seemed to retreat slightly, as if the dragon spirit was something he feared.

Now, Long Ling was even more curious.

He held out the magical artifact in his hand to those people, and sure enough, those who were chained backed away even faster.

"So, these people who seem to have lost their minds are actually afraid of this thing."

Long Ling was no longer in a hurry to reunite with Yun Ran. He felt as if he had really discovered something extraordinary.

Among those who had gone mad, they walked around without any hindrance, as if they were in an empty place.

"interesting!"

Unfortunately, the phone became completely unusable after entering this area, so I couldn't record this scene.

This inability to use does not mean there is no signal, but rather that it cannot even be turned on.

It seems that the electronic components inside the device were affected by something, causing them all to malfunction.

Long Ling walked through the space, and of course, counted all the people who were tied up.

There were a total of 81 people who were tied up.

After carefully examining several of them, Long Ling was filled with surprise.

These people are no longer alive, but to them, they appear no different from living people.

He could even sense that these people who should have died still possessed the consciousness of living people.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what an amazing technique. With just his consciousness, he can drive these dead bodies and even make them incredibly strong and destructive."

If we look at it from another angle, we could completely consider these people as if they had been possessed.

Just like him, he used the Dragon Spirit's consciousness to completely control his current body.

The only difference is that when he possessed the body, the original owner was still alive.

It was only after he devoured the last of their divine consciousness that they were able to merge perfectly together.

Possession of a living person is considered an evil practice by many.

Those who are dead but can still act like the living are disrupting the order of all worlds.
