Nightmare Light

Chapter 191 Leaping Over Life and Death
In Shi Xionglue's mind, Lin Wang's image became somewhat unfathomable.

Is it really possible for a young northerner in his twenties to be completely uninterested in worldly temptations?

Even these priests who were preparing to kill gods had undergone enough and cruel training to develop such a mindset, but even so, some worldly temptations were still effective on them.

Putting everything else aside, the snow mutton soup in Queshan City is really delicious...

Shi Xiong shook his head slightly, bringing his thoughts back to the present.

With curiosity about Lin Wang, Shi Xiong raised his head slightly and glanced at the tall northerner.

The people of the North are tall, with serious expressions and deep eyes, carrying an indescribable sense of transcendence.

At this moment, Lin Wang maintained this expression, turned his head, and his gaze met Shi Xiong's.

He looked at Shi Xiong and said, "What are you looking at?"

"..." Shi Xiong's face twitched slightly, and he turned his face away stiffly. "It's nothing."

At this time, the lay priests and priests had already organized themselves and begun to leave the temple.

The living, supporting the wounded and carrying the dead, marched from the land of the dead toward the world of the living.

A Holy Army officer approached Lin Wang and Shi Xionglue, speaking solemnly: "My lords, there is something I must tell you."

He pointed to the enormous temple behind him.

Even under the pale light of the underworld, the temple still maintained a faint sacred glow; as one got closer, one could even hear faint sacred voices.

The officer said, “Sir, this is the Mother’s temple. To leave it in the underworld is, in my opinion, extremely inappropriate.”

Lin Wang nodded: "What you said makes sense, so... should we burn it?"

"I believe this is even more inappropriate!"

“Indeed…” Lin Wang also realized that it was not appropriate to have a group of priests burn down the temple of their faith.

“Well, I have another idea,” he said to the group. “You all evacuate first.”

People didn't understand what Lin Wang was up to, but the Holy Army was disciplined and quickly organized everyone to evacuate the temple.

Lin Wang walked to the front of the temple, raised one hand, and pointed it at the temple.

"3, 2, 1... Let's go!"

A burst of white flames surged forth and enveloped the entire temple in a very short time.

Then, a flash of light appeared before everyone's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, a huge temple disappeared from their sight.

"What the hell?"

"what?"

"Where's the temple? Such a huge temple!"

Lin Wang chuckled: "Don't worry, it's in a safe place."

From his other perspective, the temple had been steadily placed under the tree fern, on the other side of the nascent small city.

It echoes the temple of the Fog Clan and looks extremely sacred.

And they look very similar.

They all have a big hole in the top.

……

I feel like I've become a garbage collector...

Lin Wang mentally berated himself.

On second thought, there are still a lot of secrets waiting to be discovered in this temple, so it seems like a pretty good deal...

After putting away the temple, there was a deep pit in the ground in front of him.

But there are no safe roads in the underworld, so let it be.

The people began their journey, with Shi Xiong leading the Crusaders ahead—he knew the location of the passage to the human world.

The laypeople carried the wounded and the dead in the middle—they were the ones who couldn't be left behind, so they had to be taken care of in the middle.

At the very back were Lin Wang and the lay masters who brought up the rear.

Halfway there, a Crusader came running up, looking shocked.

"Lord Lin Wang! There's something..." "Hmm?" Lin Wang asked, "What is it?"

"The body of Vice-Bishop Zhao..."

"What about her corpse? Did she stand up and run away?" Lin Wang joked at first, then exclaimed in surprise, "She couldn't have really run away, could she?!"

"It wasn't running..." the soldier gasped for breath, "...her body is gone!"

"Holy crap?" Lin Wang's face twitched. "That old woman really ran away?"

Lin Wang ran to the front of the group and saw Shi Xionglue and a dozen or so Holy Knights standing in a circle with solemn expressions, around the spot where Vice Bishop Zhao had been lying.

There was a human footprint on the ground, but the person was gone.

"That old woman is still alive!" Shi Xiong's expression was extremely grim. "I should have realized it sooner... This guy is a priest, and priests have incredible regenerative abilities... What a miscalculation!"

"In any case, let's get back to the human world first," Lin Wang said to everyone. He wasn't one to dwell on things, and rather than staying here and getting caught up in a silly dilemma, he'd rather focus on doing what he could do right now.

On the earth of the underworld, the crowd was seen off by the dead, who lined both sides like oceans.

People walked in silence in this atmosphere. Several hours later, everyone finally saw Shi Xiong raise his hand slightly and make a "stop" gesture.

"It should be around here... Let me look." Shi Xiong slowly took a few steps forward.

Lin Wang followed his gaze and looked around.

All around, the pale sky met the earth, and the ground was covered with white, broken bones. Not far away was a large pit filled with skeletons, looking like a mass grave.

Lin Wang asked suspiciously, "Cook, the passage back to the human world you mentioned, you can't possibly be jumping into this pit, can you?"

"Oh, I found it!" Shi Xiong slapped his thigh. "I remember now, it's from this pit that you jump in."

"..."

Shi Xiong glanced at the crowd behind him: "Who wants to jump first?"

Everyone took a step back in unison—no one wanted to be the first to jump into this gloomy pit.

Seeing this, Shi Xiong sighed and shook his head: "This is not that difficult... Never mind, I'll set an example for you."

After saying that, he stood beside the pit, looked at the deep pit, and took a deep breath.

Then he grabbed a Crusader soldier next to him and threw him!

"Go down, you!"

The soldier screamed and fell into the pit.

Debris flew up from the pit, and a cloud of misty light rose from below.

After the light faded, the soldier also disappeared.

"See, I told you everything was fine, right?"

Everyone: "..."

A Crusader officer shouted from the side, "All! Form ranks! Jump!"

People started jumping into the deep pit.

Lin Wang was at the back of the line. When Lin Wang was about to jump, he was left with only him and countless dead people.

The Night Wanderer landed beside him and handed something to Lin Wang: "My lord, please take this."

It was a white bone, as clear as jade, emitting a faint blue aura.

"what is this?"

"My lord, the moment you rekindled the white flame in the Underworld, you re-established your connection with the Underworld." The Night Wanderer, with his slender body, hovered not far in front of Lin Wang. "From now on, you only need to guide your spiritual power in your mind, think, and call upon the Underworld to return here—with your omnipotent strength, this is easy to do."

“I understand.” Lin Wang took the bone. “As long as I hold this bone while I’m pondering, I can return to the underworld, right?”

"Uh...no, you just need to think about it."

"Then what's the purpose of this skeleton?"

"This was broken off from one of my subordinates. You can look at it when you miss him..."

"Get out of here!"
