Today, I took great mercy and sent you in, yet you are ungrateful?

"You damned demon! You deserve to die a horrible death!"

The ferocious look on the big-headed monk's face intensified, as if he were an enraged demon.

His anger surged like a raging sea, wave after wave crashing against his reason, making his roars grow ever louder and louder, causing the surrounding bamboo to rustle.

He struggled with all his might, rolling on the ground, trying to escape the impending doom, but all in vain.

"Hmph, so noisy!" Jiang Shinian picked at his ear impatiently. His scarlet eyes flashed with a cold, blood-red light, like the most eerie star in the night sky, radiating a chilling glow.

"Oh!"

The shadowy ninjas, like ruthless executors, unhesitatingly threw the ascetic monk into the temple.

In an instant, a series of noisy sounds erupted from the temple: roars, shouts, pleas, and curses mingled together, like a symphony from hell, playing a terrifying symphony for this early morning.

As the sun gradually rose from the horizon, its warm and bright rays pierced through the morning mist that filled the void, like a golden sword that completely dispelled the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, endless, dazzling light surged in like a tidal wave, turning the entire world into a golden hue.

The Lotus Temple, however, slowly faded away in the radiant morning sun, as if wiped away by an invisible hand.

Ultimately, it returned to nothingness, as if it had never existed in this world, leaving only an empty land to tell of its past mystery and vicissitudes.

"Humph!"

Jiang Shinian watched the Lotus Temple gradually disappear before his eyes and let out a disdainful snort.

That fool, oblivious to his own mortality, actually dared to scheme against him.

He once held the script of destiny in his hands, and the little tricks of this big-headed bald man were like child's play in his eyes, which he could see through at a glance.

The idea of ​​worshipping demons and willingly following them is all a hypocritical lie.

If it weren't for the fact that he had provided some useful information, Jiang Shinian would have made him vanish without a trace.

Chapter 165 Plotting to Access the Library

This is someone who spends all day loitering here, trying to lure outsiders into Lotus Temple.

For a despicable person who wanted to obtain the Demon Scroll, allowing him to return to the temple and become its guardian again was already an extraordinary act of mercy and the height of benevolence.

"Alas, what a pity for Lotus Temple."

A hint of regret flickered in Jiang Shinian's eyes, as if an artist were watching his beloved work being destroyed.

"This temple was built with the painstaking efforts of many wise and virtuous people in ancient times. Its cultural and wisdom value is immeasurable. It is like a treasure buried deep underground, waiting for the right person to discover it."

"Moreover, there might be even more precious treasures hidden in some secret corner. After all, even though my shadow soldiers have turned the place upside down, it is still hard to guarantee that nothing has been missed."

Jiang Shinian stared at the direction where Lotus Temple had disappeared, and slowly shook his head.

He knew all too well that he was nothing more than a novice in the field of magic, far inferior to the extraordinary wisdom of the Holy Lord.

Otherwise, why would they have almost torn the Lotus Temple to pieces just to plunder those magical texts?

It's like a greedy child who, in order to get candy, is willing to destroy a beautiful candy box.

"If given a choice, who would choose to do such a crude thing?" Jiang Shinian sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly again, and a self-deprecating expression appeared on his face.

He immersed himself in his personal space, where he saw shadowy ninjas busily and orderly moving about, like a group of hardworking worker ants.

They carefully categorized and arranged all the items in an orderly manner, and every movement was so skillful and precise.

In this way, Jiang Shinian could easily find what he wanted, as if he were choosing treasures from his own private treasury.

"Well, it's passable."

Witnessing the bustling activity of the shadowy figures within their personal space, Jiang Shinian nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.

This made him feel that his efforts had not been in vain; at least in this chaotic struggle, he had gained something substantial.

In an instant, Jiang Shinian's figure vanished, as if swallowed up by an endless tide of darkness.

In this mysterious kingdom of shadows, he moved with lightning speed, like a black lightning bolt streaking across the night sky.

At the same time, he also listened to the reports from the shadowy figures under Xiaoying's command.

"You're saying that Ah Fu chased Jackie Chan into the territory of a group of evil magicians?"

Seeing the shadowy ninja nod respectfully, Jiang Shinian's brows furrowed instantly, as if twisted into a pretzel. A scene flashed through his mind—

"The Lost Stone Pillar..."

The scene unfolded in his mind like an ancient, mysterious scroll, filled with the unknown and danger.

Ahead, a faint light flickered in the distance; that was the entrance to the passage from the Shadow Kingdom to the Valon Cruises.

The light was like a beacon in the darkness, guiding him forward, but it also made him feel uneasy, because he didn't know what awaited him behind that light.

Jiang Shinian turned to look at the shadowy soldier beside him, his hoarse and deep voice seeming to come from the deepest hell: "How is Afu doing right now?"

The shadowy ninja beside him immediately bent down and wrote in the air with flowing strokes. Even in the shadowy kingdom where they were moving at high speed, the handwriting was still neat and clear, and he wrote steadily: "Afu was mistaken for Jackie Chan's accomplice by those magicians, and the two have been forced to join forces to resist the magicians' attack."

"what?!"

Jiang Shinian's eyes widened, the blood-red light in them trembling violently, as if struck by a thunderbolt.

He truly never expected that the wheels of fate would turn in such a way, bringing these two originally opposing people together to fight against the enemy.

It was like a sudden storm that disrupted his original plans.

"Did you offer any help to Afu?"

He asked in a dry, hoarse voice, his tone tinged with anxiety and worry.

The shadowy soldier bowed his head again and wrote, "Never."

"Ah."

Jiang Shi Nian nodded slightly.

"Very good. The intervention of magicians has already disrupted the original balance, and this matter is no longer a simple human conflict."

These magicians are filled with absurd fantasies, attempting to create an era ruled by magicians—how utterly foolish!

Although these magicians did not cultivate either righteous or dark energy, they were undoubtedly representatives of the dark side of the world. Their appearance meant that dark energy had already been drawn into this conflict.

It was like a pebble being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that instantly turned a simple situation into a complex mess, giving Jiang Shinian a real headache.

"Does the dark aura really think I sent Afu to steal the bracelet from the Siwa Temple?"

Jiang Shinian's brows furrowed slightly, like a ripple spreading across a calm lake.

He began to ponder the conspiracy and scheming behind it all, trying to unravel the chaotic situation.

This damned black energy is more trouble than it's worth. Her rash intervention instantly turned what was originally a simple situation into a complicated mess, like a tangled mess.

The righteous forces must have already noticed this and are starting to make moves, right?

And what is the state of those giant stone pillars now?

Suddenly, Jiang Shinian seemed to remember something, his eyes flashing: "Did those magicians build a library?"

The shadowy ninja beside him had his crimson eyes flash slightly before he nodded gently.

"very good."

Jiang Shinian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

His smile conveyed both a sense of control over the situation and an expectation for the future, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

Since things have already developed to this point, we might as well try to gain more benefits from it and see what other advantages we can get.

It's like a shrewd businessman looking for business opportunities in a chaotic market.

"Whoosh!"

Within the Shadow Kingdom, a dark shadow, like a black lightning bolt, raced toward the light ahead at an astonishing speed.

The speed was so fast that it was dazzling, as if it were tearing the surrounding darkness apart.

"Shh!"

The moment Jiang Shinian emerged from the Shadow Kingdom, he used the power of the Snake Talisman to conceal himself.

However, his invisibility was not perfect. His figure was like a transparent veil, with only a vague outline visible, like a ghost intertwined with illusion and reality.

This was a unique method of use that he had recently developed from the snake charm. Although it was not perfect, it was enough for him to gain a foothold in this dangerous situation.

The ship was completely silent, like a desolate, lifeless island.

Chapter 166 Experimenting with Vampires

The boat rocked gently with the waves, making a soft creaking sound, as if it were a faint sigh in the silence.

"Ok?"

Jiang Shinian frowned deeply. He looked back and gazed into the distance, towards the shore of the mainland.

The outline of the shore appeared and disappeared in the morning light, like a hazy ink painting, full of poetry and mystery.

"Valon!"

Jiang's voice, like rolling waves, penetrated through layers of metal barriers and echoed throughout the entire cruise ship.

The voice carried an undeniable authority, as if a king were summoning his subjects.

"I'm here!"

A voice seemed to come from the distant horizon, growing louder as it approached.

Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out of the cabin like a ghost.

The newcomer was none other than Valon. He jogged up to Jiang Shinian's side, his face plastered with a fawning smile, like a lapdog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

"My Lord, you're back! I've sent most of the men on the ship out to purchase supplies. As you know, we have a lot of people and we need to replenish our supplies every now and then."

"I see."

Jiang Shinian nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and a dazzling piece of gold landed in front of Valon with a "clang".

The gold glittered in the sunlight, like a dazzling star, making it impossible to look away.
