Chapter 1243

The second method is through the Legion Commander's tombstone.

Because Lin Moyu had colored the inscriptions, he had effectively gained their acknowledgement, which allowed him to open the passage inside the tombstone and return to the Yellow Earth Desert.

From there, he could return to the Great World via the Yellow Earth Desert.

Naturally, Lin Moyu could not wait for decades, so he would definitely choose the passage inside the tombstone.

But now, besides him, there were three other guys currently unconscious in the Nether Swamp…

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Moyu had already made up his mind.

Putting away Xu Qingyang's soul bead, the Light-Speed Lich appeared on his shoulder, and he transformed into a stream of light, flying into the distance.

He first arrived in front of the 71st Squad's tombstone, quickly activated it, and swiftly colored the inscriptions.

Just a few minutes later, he had an extra Buddha statue in his hand.

The Buddha statue radiated Buddhist light; despite being corroded by the swamp for over a thousand years, its light remained bright.

"This is indeed a good item; let's consider it interest."

Lin Moyu put it away without a second word.

Previously, Buddha Kongwen had wanted to kill him; although he had counter-killed him, the Buddhist Clan still owed him a blood debt.

Human experts standing up for him was a matter for the human race, but he would have to collect this debt himself sooner or later.

For now, he would just collect some interest.

As for Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, although Lin Moyu did not like the Buddhist Clan, even brothers settle accounts clearly; Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang had not harmed him, and the two had even briefly cooperated.

Therefore, Lin Moyu did not intend to leave him here. He knew that if Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang continued searching here, he would not be able to last for decades until the next exit opened.

Based on the location he had seen earlier, Lin Moyu quickly found the unconscious Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang and the other two.

Laws intertwined into ropes, dragging the three of them into the high sky, and he brought them before the Legion Commander's tombstone.

Putting the three down, Lin Moyu waited quietly on the side.

Almost a day later, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang was the first to wake up.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's eyes quickly regained clarity, and he looked around with vigilance, only feeling slightly relieved after seeing Lin Moyu.

"Amitabha!" Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang chanted a Buddhist name to conceal the trace of unease in his heart.

The irresistible power from just now had given him a sense of helplessness.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang had never felt this level of power, not even from a Buddha…

That power was simply too strong, so strong that he had no way to resist; he felt like an ant that could be easily crushed to death.

After calming down slightly, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang said, "Was it Fellow Daoist Lin who saved this humble monk?"

Lin Moyu did not deny it. "It was just a small effort."

In a sense, it was indeed he who had saved Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang.

If he had left him alone, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang would surely have died.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang was not a dithering person, so he immediately said, "This humble monk will remember this kindness and will certainly repay it if there is a chance in the future."

Lin Moyu smiled, not taking it to heart.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang asked again, "Fellow Daoist Lin, may I ask where this is?"

Lin Moyu glanced at God King Heisha and God King Shitu, who were still unconscious on the side. "Let's wait for the two fellow daoists to wake up before talking; I'd rather not have to say it twice."

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang gave a grunt of acknowledgement and did not press further.

After waiting a while longer, God King Heisha finally woke up. His condition was not much different from Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's, and his expression carried lingering fear.

The last one to wake up was God King Shitu; as the one with the lowest cultivation realm, he had passed out the fastest and woken up the latest.

After all three were awake, Lin Moyu finally spoke about the method of leaving.

He pointed to the tombstone beside him and said, "This is the exit of the Nether Swamp, and I have found the method to open it."

"Besides this, there is another way to leave. Every hundred years, a gap will appear in the sky, and one can also leave through that gap."

"However, before the gap opens, you might have to face some dangers."

At this moment, Lin Moyu pointed into the distance.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang used all his visual power and finally saw the monsters Lin Moyu was pointing at at the end of his line of sight.

There were a few Ape Monsters wandering aimlessly there. They emitted no aura and could not be detected with soul perception; they could only be discovered with the naked eye.

Before they made a move, their strength could not be determined.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang asked, "How is their strength?"

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "They should be about the same as you; you can go and test it."

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang thought for a moment and shook his head. "No need."

But just at this moment, one of the Ape Monsters suddenly raised its head and looked toward Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang.

A fierce glint appeared in its eyes, and Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's expression changed drastically. He felt he had been locked onto by a powerful, lethal, and tyrannical aura.

This aura was extremely powerful and terrifying, not one bit weaker than his own.

Then, wave after wave of auras landed on him, and dozens of Ape Monsters pounced toward him.

Chapter 1380: Fellow Daoist, Until We Meet Again

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's expression changed drastically, fear showing in his eyes.

In this instant, he felt death; he felt the call of the Buddha, and he deeply felt that he was about to return to the Pure Land.

But he didn't want to go yet! He was still young, had ideals, and had a bright future; he might even become an existence like the Buddha in the future.

In this instant, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang had only one thought in his mind.

"Live, I must live. I absolutely cannot die here."

Buddhist light began to shine brilliantly, and his prayer beads were already in his hand.

Just as he was about to act, a hand pressed onto his shoulder, and Lin Moyu's calm voice rang out, "Little Buddha, no need to act; they cannot come over."

Lin Moyu's words were like music to his ears, causing Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang to calm down a bit instantly.

He suddenly realized that his emotions just now were problematic; this was not the reaction he should have had.

He had been influenced by the Ape Monsters; the Ape Monsters had the ability to influence the human heart.

Just then, the Ape Monsters had charged to the front, less than a hundred meters away.

Subsequently, they seemed to hit an invisible wall and were all bounced back.

They were bounced back as fast as they had come.

Lin Moyu continued, "Do not stare at them. They will sense it and attack the one staring."

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang still had lingering fears but forced himself to calm down. "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "You are welcome. These guys are very powerful; those Lesser God Venerables who entered before probably died at their hands."

Lin Moyu could not tell Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang about the images he had seen, so he directly pinned the label of the murderer onto these Ape Monsters.

There were many Ape Monsters at the Lesser God Venerable realm, enough to kill the Lesser God Venerables who had entered before.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's eyes flickered. "It seems that my Buddhist Clan's treasure cannot be retrieved."

Now, let alone searching for the Buddhist Clan's treasure, he wouldn't even dare to leave the tombstone by a hundred meters.

God King Heisha and God King Shitu said nothing, but they had also clearly seen the situation just now.

They had long lost the desire to continue searching and only wanted to leave this place quickly; no matter what it was, nothing was as important as their own lives.

This place was too dangerous; it was simply not a place they should have come to.

So many Lesser God Venerables had entered before, and not a single one had escaped.

Even more so for a few people like them.

Lin Moyu asked, "Little Buddha, do you plan to continue searching here, or will you leave with Lin?"

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang almost did not hesitate. "It seems this treasure is not destined for this humble monk. If it is not destined, one cannot force it; this humble monk also intends to leave now."

Lin Moyu looked at God King Heisha. "And you two?"

God King Heisha also said, "We will also leave now."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Good. Since that is the case, then Lin will open the passage."

Having said that, he communicated with the tombstone and opened the passage to the Yellow Earth Desert.

A pitch-black portal opened from the bottom of the tombstone. Lin Moyu said, "This portal leads to the Yellow Earth Desert. Lin will take the first step; fellow daoists, until we meet again in the future."

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang chanted a Buddhist name. "Until we meet again."

"Until we meet again."

After saying that, Lin Moyu stepped into the passage and was swallowed by the darkness.

Immediately after, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang and the other two rushed into the passage, fearing that it would disappear.

…

Changing from extreme cold to extreme heat, the sudden temperature shift made it difficult to adapt for a moment.

Lin Moyu looked at the land where yellow sand was howling and glanced at the nine fireballs hanging high in the sky.

Returning from the Nether Swamp would randomly teleport one to a certain place in the Yellow Earth Desert.

Lin Moyu discovered that he was in the outer area, and he determined his position through the nine fireballs.

Leaving the Yellow Earth Desert could only be done through the stone tablets in the oases.

After identifying the direction, Lin Moyu quickly headed to the nearest oasis.

He discovered that he could also fly in the Yellow Earth Desert; the acknowledgement of the Nether Swamp was equally valid here.

Thinking about it, it was not strange; the Yellow Earth Desert actually belonged to the Nether Swamp. If one could fly in the Nether Swamp, one could naturally do so here.

Being able to fly meant he could avoid a lot of trouble.

Just half an hour later, Lin Moyu arrived at the edge of an oasis, found the stone tablet that could leave the Yellow Earth Desert, and activated it.

A pitch-black portal appeared, and the aura of the Great World seeped out from it.

As long as he entered, he could leave the Yellow Earth Desert and return to the Great World.

This journey, in Lin Moyu's view, really felt like a lifetime ago.

Taking a deep breath, just as he was about to step into it, Lin Moyu suddenly stopped his steps.

His expression changed slightly, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

In that instant just now, he had a hunch, feeling a lethal danger.

As long as he went in, his life would be in danger.

"Returning to the Great World will be dangerous."

"Where does the danger come from?"

Lin Moyu pondered, and soon he had the answer.

"It seems the Demon Race has already set up a net, just waiting for me to enter."

"Senior Zhu should be outside as well; how could he just watch the Demon Race do this?"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; it seems… Senior Zhu wants to play the role of the oriole."

"Or perhaps, Senior Zhu just wants to watch a show, to see how this cicada of mine will resist."

"Fine then, since that is the case, I will let Senior Zhu have a look."

"However, let me think, what would the demons' net look like? To want to kill me, they must first trap me…"

…

Various speculations emerged in Lin Moyu's mind. Lin Moyu put himself in their shoes; if it were him who had to set up a net, what would he do?

Based on his understanding of the Demon Race, which demons would they use, and what level of power?
