Shen Luo was speechless that the people of the Wuji Kingdom were willing to accept such a reality. However, this was the internal affairs of other countries. He would not overstep his authority and do such a thankless thing.
He quickly put this matter behind him and began to think about the Demon Qi here.
According to Zen Master Hai Shi, when Golden Cicada went west, he had felt a huge fluctuation of Demon Qi in this country. This matter must be no small matter.
According to Li Jing, the reincarnation time of Chi You's five demonic souls was about the same as the reincarnation of the sutra seeker, so it should have nothing to do with the fluctuation of Demon Qi. However, Chi You had deliberately tried to escape. No one knew if he had done anything before releasing the five demonic souls.
Moreover, demons were everywhere in Wuji Kingdom, which was far more powerful than the Tang Empire. It was similar to the situation in the dream, which confirmed his conjecture.
Just as Shen Luo was muttering to himself, a long roar came from outside. Although it sounded very far away, the roar was filled with ferocity, and it still made his heart tremble ….
"Oh no, a demon has appeared!" He immediately got up, pushed the door open, and walked out.
The sky outside had begun to turn white, and there were already people walking around in the city who had gotten up early. When they heard the roar, their expressions changed greatly.
"Demon! Another demon has appeared! " The people in the city cried and rushed home. They closed their doors tightly and did not dare to show their faces.
"Sir! Come in quickly, another demon has come! " The innkeeper had also gotten up. When he saw Shen Luo standing outside the door, he had no time to be angry and hurriedly shouted.
"It's okay." Shen Luo nodded and smiled at the innkeeper. He looked in the direction of the sound.
A black spot appeared in the sky and quickly grew bigger, turning into a rolling black cloud. Sand and stones flew around the black cloud, and evil wind blew. It looked very scary.
"It's the snake demon!" The innkeeper's face was pale. He ignored Shen Luo, turned back, and plunged into the door, closing it heavily.
"Snake demon …" Shen Luo murmured. Looking at the situation, it seemed that this was not the demon's first time here.
"I wonder how Chan 'er is doing?" He suddenly thought of something, and his figure turned into a streak of crimson light as he flew toward a temple in the city.
When he was sneaking around the city yesterday, he had already discovered the temple where Chan 'er and Bai Xiaotian were staying.
In a small temple in White County City, Chan 'er and Bai Xiaotian had already stood up. They stood in a courtyard and looked at the black demonic clouds in the distant sky.
"Amitabha. I didn't expect the countries of the Western Regions to also be plagued by demons. This city is poor and weak. Almsgiver Bai, if it's within your capabilities, please help the people in this city," Chan 'er said to Bai Xiaotian.
"Of course." Bai Xiaotian nodded immediately.
At this moment, a red sword light flew over from afar, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Then, Shen Luo's figure appeared.
"Master Chan 'er, Brother Bai, are you alright?"
"Brother Shen, you came at the right time." Bai Xiaotian was relieved.
The monster in the black cloud had such a phenomenon, so its strength was not small. He had been worried that he would have to protect Chan 'er and get rid of the demon by himself. It would be difficult to do it alone. Now that Shen Luo had come, he was relieved.
As the three of them conversed, the black clouds had already flown to the sky above White County City. They continued to descend, and in an instant, half of the sky was covered. Nearly half of White County City was shrouded in shadows.
A loud hissing sound rang out from the black clouds, as if a giant python was spitting out its tongue. Two red lights, the size of lanterns, appeared in the clouds. They looked like two demonic eyes, staring covetously at White County City below. Their eyes were filled with greed.
A thick demonic wind shot down from the black clouds, sweeping toward a house in the east of the city.
Shen Luo's hand flashed with red light. He was about to strike with the pure Yang sword embryo to face the enemy.
However, a golden light suddenly flashed from the top of a towering Buddhist temple in the center of White County City. It was a golden crystal ball the size of a water tank that was embedded in the top of the pagoda.
The crystal ball was covered with array patterns. One of the array patterns suddenly lit up, and the golden crystal ball shone brightly. A thick golden pillar of light shot out from it, colliding with the black demonic wind that was descending.
After a thunderous sound, the golden light dissipated, and the demonic wind exploded. The two of them canceled each other out and died.
A furious roar came from the black clouds in mid-air. An even larger black demonic wind shot down from another part of the black clouds, sweeping toward a building in the south of the city.
However, the array patterns on the southern side of the golden crystal ball lit up again. Another golden light shot out from the southern side of the crystal ball, accurately blocking the demonic wind once again.
The demonic creature in mid-air was enraged. The black clouds churned and puffed loudly. Dozens of demonic winds swept down at the same time, transforming into black demonic pythons that pounced toward various parts of the city.
The golden crystal ball on the golden pagoda seemed to have felt a strong threat from outside. The array patterns around it all lit up, and the golden crystal ball lit up with a golden light that was several times brighter than before. A golden cloud vaguely appeared in the ball, spinning rapidly.
Accompanied by a whistling sound, dozens of thick golden lights shot out from the golden crystal ball, hitting the black demonic pythons and intercepting them one by one.
"It seems that White County City is not without countermeasures to deal with demonic creatures. That is the Divine Lotus Altar Temple. Since they have countermeasures, we are outsiders after all. Let's wait and see." Shen Luo saw this scene, nodded slightly, and said.
"Divine Lotus Altar Temple?" Bai Xiaotian looked confused, as if it was his first time hearing this name.
"Didn't you ask the monks in this temple about White County City and Wuji Kingdom?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Of course we did. However, when the monks in this temple heard that we came from the Tang Empire, they kept their mouths shut and refused to say anything. They seem to be very hostile to outsiders," Bai Xiaotian said.
"I see. According to my investigation, this Wuji Kingdom …" Shen Luo came to a realization and briefly told the two of them what he had found.
"I didn't expect the situation in Wuji Kingdom to be like this. Brother Shen is right. Let's wait and see. It's not appropriate for us to act rashly." Bai Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
"If the Divine Lotus Altar Temple is no match for the demonic creatures, we have to act. We can't let the people in the city suffer," Chan 'er added hurriedly.
"Don't worry, of course," Shen Luo said.
Although Wuji Kingdom was not from the Tang Empire, it belonged to the same bloodline of the human race. He would not sit by and watch the people suffer.
"Oh no, the power of the golden crystal ball is beginning to weaken!" At this moment, Bai Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed.
Shen Luo and Chan 'er hurriedly looked over. Although the golden crystal ball on the golden pagoda was still shooting out beams of golden light to block the black clouds in the air, it was obviously much dimmer than before. It was gradually unable to block the demonic wind attack in the air.
"It seems that the power of the golden crystal ball is limited. We have to act," Shen Luo said.
At this moment, in the pagoda of the Divine Lotus Altar Temple in White County City, several monks wearing tall yellow Lama hats and red kasayas sat upright on the purple-gold lotus platform.
These people were faintly glowing with auspicious light and Sanskrit chants lingered around them. They had the air of an eminent monk, but their faces were valiant and arrogant, which was very different from the monks in the Central Region.
