The gods' eyes changed. They even thought they wouldn't be able to leave Stone Altar Island alive tonight.
Zhu Minglang looked at Nan Yu Suo's arm and used the Silver Cathaya Holy Dew to carefully wash her wound. He was heartbroken to see her tender skin bleeding.
"Does it still hurt?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"It won't hurt if you cut him into pieces." Nan Yu Suo smiled.
Goddess Qiuci felt like she had been fed dog food again. She stopped talking and started picking up the Guiding Stones that were scattered around the altar. With them, the altar would be able to gather even more god's blessing power.
"Great, this way our merits won't be damaged!" said the Deity of Alkaid.
"Let's go back quickly. With the Wall of God's Blessing, the people should be able to stay in the desert city safely," said Qiuci.
After lighting up the Stone Altar Island, the return journey was quite smooth.
Zhu Minglang remembered something and asked the Deity of Alkaid, "Why did you hit Dong Zhongshen with your staff so many times?"
Dong Zhongshen angrily pointed at Radiance Godking Ma Yi and said: "He's probably possessed. What else is there to say? Please train your mental fortitude in the future, don't turn into a lunatic when the time comes."
Ma Yi knew her position and didn't dare to respond. However, she saw Zhu Minglang staring at her, so she quietly explained to him, "Prime Deity Zhu, my eyes have been trained. I can see things that normal people can't. What I said before was the truth. I did see a face on his back. It was green. I also saw something taking away part of his soul. Unfortunately, my cultivation isn't high enough, so I only saw a vague glimpse. I can't be completely sure …"
Zhu Minglang's eyes lit up.
At first, everyone thought that this Yaoguang Deity Ma Yi was being paranoid and had his mind affected by the dark creatures. He even had his powers sealed. However, ever since he saw the Yin Spirit Green Baboon, Zhu Minglang no longer thought so.
Fox Demon Immortal had also told him that the Yin Spirit Azure Baboon had to steal a person's soul or spirit before it could transform into another person's appearance …
Therefore, Ma Yi's strange actions in the night weren't because he was possessed, but because he saw something that others didn't. The one who was truly possessed was Dong Zhongshen. He didn't even know that part of his soul had been taken away!
"Old Brother Ma, do me a favor. There is a mysterious ancient demon that I need you to help me catch." Zhu Minglang said to Yaoguang Deity Ma Yi.
"No problem. It was all thanks to Prime Deity Zhu that I was able to escape this time and protect my cultivation. If you need anything, just ask!" Ma Yi readily agreed.
…
Halfway through, there was a stone temple.
There were all kinds of temples in the seven Shenjiang. They were mainly used for people who had no choice but to rest at night. Earth temples couldn't completely block out the darkness, but they could prevent people from getting lost in the darkness. They wouldn't be surrounded by dark creatures. With the help of earth temples, many cultivators had the ability to resist them.
Dark sand appeared in the desert ahead. It was similar to a sandstorm, but it was a terrifying disaster in the desert at night. It was like a hellish devil's den. If they rashly rushed in, they would waste too much time.
Fortunately, this kind of desert disaster wouldn't last for too long. Everyone could rest in the stone temple for a bit, recover a bit of energy, and treat their wounds.
The inside of the stone temple was very dry. Zhu Minglang found a comfortable place and laid down some things. Then, he helped Nan Yu Suo sit here.
Nan Yu Suo had been fighting frequently recently. The ancestral dragons in the Spirit Realm were all exhausted. She didn't rest much either. Now that Zhu Minglang was beside her, she didn't need to be vigilant at all times. So, she leaned on Zhu Minglang's shoulder and fell asleep.
Zhu Minglang also showed a tired expression. He raised his head and leaned against the pillar behind him. He also closed his eyes.
Outside, there was an extremely crazy dark sandstorm, as if there were millions of ferocious beasts roaring and howling. Inside the stone temple, it was quiet. There was no invasion of darkness, no pouring of cold rain. Everyone could feel a little bit of peace.
Everyone closed their eyes and waited for the dark sand to calm down. Only then could they continue on their way. After all, the giant desert city still needed gods like them to watch over it.
It was only in such a quiet environment that there would always be some strange things.
Outside the stone temple, the rain swayed left and right. Sometimes, it poured to the entrance of the temple, soaking half of the stone temple.
And in that wet area, there were faint footprints. They were slowly and carefully approaching Zhu Minglang.
This scene was extremely strange. There was clearly nothing in front of the stone temple.
Suddenly, Ma Yi, the God sitting in the corner, half opened his eyes.
He was only a God's Son. His strength wasn't outstanding among the gods. Moreover, he was the type that was easy to be ignored. Even some powerful ancient demons didn't seem to put a small god like him in their eyes.
He stared at the footprints and found that the footprints had dried up after a few steps. Under the dim light of the fire, the thing that was approaching Zhu Minglang still couldn't be seen. Ma Yi slowly wiped his fingertips in front of his eyes. With this, his pupils immediately changed. They became sharp, and he could see the strange thing in the stone temple!
It could be said that it was the drifting rain. It was nothing more than the dampness caused by the wind.
However, this dampness showed the appearance of a strange face. At this moment, it opened its mouth and took advantage of the fact that Zhu Minglang was sleeping to suck Zhu Minglang's soul!
Three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. Deity Ma Yi could clearly see one of Zhu Minglang's physical souls being peeled off from his body. And this process could not be seen nor detected by anyone!
Ma Yi was extremely shocked.
This was the thing that had been following them all this time!
Suddenly, Ma Yi transmitted his voice to Zhu Minglang, "Head Venerable Zhu, now!"
Zhu Minglang suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't fall asleep, but he lowered his guard to the lowest level. He didn't even use his divine sense to protect himself in order to lure this troublesome Green Gelada Nether Spirit out.
Sure enough, this Green Gelada Nether Spirit wouldn't let go of any opportunity to harm others.
"Close the door!" Zhu Minglang loudly shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nüwa hiding in another place immediately formed a rock formation and directly sealed the open door of the stone temple.
"Let it show itself!" Zhu Minglang said again.
