This Taoist priest is so unprofessional!

Everyone present was stunned!

They couldn't see the dazzling golden light emanating from Wang Xiaoer, but they could clearly feel that the moment the young man took a step forward, the terrifying pressure that weighed on their hearts, making them tremble and almost unable to breathe, instantly lessened by 90%!

All eyes were focused on Wang Xiaoer.

The young man who came with Zhang Chen didn't say a word from beginning to end, and looked just like an ordinary college student.

But what... what did he do?

He only took one step forward!

An old Taoist priest with white hair pointed a trembling finger at Wang Xiaoer, his voice trembling.

"Who...who is this young friend?"

He rubbed his eyes hard, his face full of disbelief.

"He...he seems to possess divine power!"

Li Xuanqing stared intently at Wang Xiaoer, then suddenly turned to Zhang Chen, his eyes full of questions.

Junior brother, where did you find such a monster?

Zhang Chen was also completely bewildered, but he reacted the fastest and immediately figured out the key to it.

It's that home protection charm!

Ever since this kid absorbed the energy of that home-protecting talisman, he has been able to automatically resist these evil energies!

He had initially thought it was Wang Xiaoer's luck at work, but upon closer inspection, it was not so; the characteristics of the golden light were more like the field of a house-protecting talisman.

As for Wang Xiaoer himself, he was the most bewildered person in the entire room.

He watched the black mist recede back into the well, and scratched his head in confusion.

"Huh? Why did we go back?"

He felt the tightness in his chest disappear and felt much more comfortable.

He even thought that the thing in the well had gotten tired of spouting and had gone to rest.

This scene left the other Taoist priests completely bewildered.

How calm and serene this is!

What an incredible composure to remain unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before you!

A true expert! Anyone who came with Zhang Chen must be an expert as well!

In a desperate situation where a group of experts and bigwigs were at a loss and a catastrophic disaster was imminent.

They acted as if they were just passing by, casually taking a step forward and effortlessly dominating the entire scene.

This unreasonable power is more impactful than any earth-shattering Taoist magic!

However, while Wang Xiaoer's appearance temporarily stabilized the situation, he couldn't stay there forever.

Although the roar from the bottom of the well weakened, it did not stop. The clanging of the chains continued, proving that the evil dragon was still trying to break the seal.

Zhang Chen quickly walked to Li Xuanqing's side and lowered his voice.

"Senior brother, Xiao Er's golden light can only temporarily suppress it; it's a temporary fix, not a cure."

Li Xuanqing also came to his senses. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"I see."

Zhang Chen's gaze returned to the bottomless ancient well, his voice heavy with emotion.

"To completely solve the problem and repair the formation, we must go down into the well!"

He paused for a moment, then pointed out the most crucial problem.

"But the aura below is so malevolent that none of us can go down."

All eyes, like searchlights, suddenly turned to Wang Xiaoer once again.

Wang Xiaoer felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of this spectacle.

He instinctively took a half step back, spread his hands, and looked completely innocent.

Don't look at me.

"I can't do anything, I'm just a mascot."

Upon hearing this, several Taoist priests nearly choked on their own breath.

mascot?

You call this a mascot?

What is a lucky charm that can make even the most malevolent energy retreat and can stabilize the world with a single step?

What about us, who spent so much time setting up formations and chanting incantations, only to end up coughing up blood?

Are you in the atmosphere group?

"You're not a mascot."

Zhang Chen's voice broke the awkward silence.

"Your golden light can temporarily repel the evil energy, creating an opportunity for us to go down the well."

"No!"

Without a second thought, Li Xuanqing immediately voiced his opposition, his tone resolute.

"This is too dangerous!"

He glanced at Wang Xiaoer, his brows furrowing into a knot.

"Send an ordinary person down there? What if his golden light fails for even a moment? The malevolent energy in the well could tear him to shreds instantly!"

"This is a gamble with life; I can't gamble with the life of an innocent person!"

Li Xuanqing's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unyielding authority.

He is in charge here, and he must be responsible for everyone's safety.

However, he had barely finished speaking.

"fine."

Wang Xiaoer's voice rang out.

He patted his chest, a carefree smile spreading across his face.

"I'm tough."

He glanced at the worried faces of the crowd, then pointed to the ancient well that was still emitting wisps of black smoke.

"Besides, if that thing actually crawls out of there, wouldn't we all be doomed?"

"Instead of just waiting here, why not go down and take a gamble?"

He spoke casually, as if discussing what to eat for dinner.

But there was not a trace of a joke in those eyes.

It is a kind of clarity that sees through the essence of things, and a kind of magnanimous sense of responsibility.

Li Xuanqing looked at him, opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute him.

Zhang Chen stepped forward, patted Wang Xiaoer on the shoulder heavily, and then turned to look at Li Xuanqing.

"Senior brother, believe in me, and believe in him too."

Li Xuanqing fell silent.

He looked at his usually unreliable junior brother, and then at the serious-looking young man.

Finally, he let out a long breath.

"good!"

"I'll go down with you two!"

He made a decision.

"Young man, you clear the way; Zhang Chen, you repair the formation; I'll protect you!"

The plan was finalized quickly.

Without further ado, the three senior Taoist priests found the sturdiest fire rope in the park and secured one end firmly to the stone pier of the artificial hill.

Wang Xiaoer was assigned to the front.

Zhang Chen and Li Xuanqing followed closely behind, one on the left and one on the right.

"Hurry up."

Li Xuanqing gave them one last piece of advice, and then the three of them slowly slid down the rope into the bottomless darkness.

The well opening is very narrow.

Upon entering the well, the biting cold and fishy stench intensified tenfold.

The light was completely swallowed up.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the rustling of ropes against the well walls and the breathing of the three people.

Li Xuanqing and Zhang Chen were both extremely cautious.

They are prepared to respond to any impact from the malevolent energy.

However, the anticipated attack did not occur.

An invisible barrier spread outwards from Wang Xiaoer's center.

The terrifying baleful aura, as thick as ink and powerful enough to instantly erode a cultivator's protective true energy, reacted as if it had encountered a red-hot iron when it approached within a meter of the three people, emitting a "sizzling" sound and automatically separating to the sides.

They surged and roared, yet they could never cross that invisible boundary.

An absolutely safe passage was thus forcibly carved out in the narrow abyss.

Li Xuanqing's eyes widened as he felt the blazing, yet gentle and peaceful power beneath him.

A tremendous storm raged within him.

That golden light...

Why does it look more and more like a long-lost home protection charm?

But how could that thing have such an effect?

The well walls were slippery and covered with moss.

With the dim light of a flashlight, one can see that the stone wall is covered with densely packed runes.

The runes, which should have been gleaming with golden light, were now mostly dull and mottled, corroded by the black energy.

"These are all the works of past masters."

Zhang Chen's voice echoed in the narrow space.

"Each talisman can suppress a hundred-year-old ghost."

"Now, it's all useless."

It descended by approximately several tens of meters.

Finally, my feet touched solid ground.

The space before me suddenly opened up!

This is not the bottom of a well.

This is an underground cavern that is larger than anyone could imagine.

The size of the cave is unclear. Apart from a pool of water in the distance, all you can see are stalactites all around and a deep abyss whose outlines are indistinct.

The air was filled with a strong earthy smell and moisture.

And right in the center of the cave.

A massive stone pillar, requiring five or six people to encircle, rises skyward, reaching the top of the cave.

The stone pillar is dark gold in color, and it is covered with Buddhist scriptures such as the Diamond Sutra and Taoist scriptures such as the Salvation Sutra, all engraved with cinnabar. Each character seems to contain immense power.

This is the Dragon-Locking Pillar!
