A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 545 Not a Fart Found

"Stop deceiving yourself," Tianyue said calmly. "Your thoughts are written all over your face."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Really, no, I was just thinking about a problem."

"Can you tell me about it?" Tianyue asked.

Chao Bufan nodded, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead and ask, what's the question?" Tianyue asked.

"Brother, do you know that the Witch God is evil?" Chao Bufan asked.

"The sorcerer is evil?" Tian Yue's brow twitched slightly. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't know him. Can you tell me about him?"

Chao Bufan exhaled a puff of smoke, and a look of worry crossed his face as the smoke swirled around him. He then said, "I don't know him either. I only know that he is very powerful. His soul is currently residing in someone else's body, and he is the one who wants to kill me."

"Does he want to kill you?" Tianyue asked. "Why?"

Chao Bufan gave a wry smile and sighed, "Alas, it's a long story!"

"It's alright," Tianyue patted her chest and said confidently, "With me here, no one can hurt you. If anyone dares to hurt you, I'll take their life."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan gave another wry smile. However, the subtle change in Chao Bufan's expression ultimately did not escape Tian Yue's keen eyes. He asked:

"you do not believe me?"

Chao Bufan shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why are you smiling bitterly?" he asked again.

"Sigh~" Chao Bufan sighed and said, "I don't know exactly how powerful this evil person is, but I know that he should not be underestimated."

"So what?" Tianyue said, "No matter how powerful he is, I'm here!"

Chao Bufan smiled and then said, "No matter what, I think we should still be careful."

"Alright, stop worrying. Who cares if he's evil or not? If he dares to hurt you, I'll make sure he's reduced to ashes." Tianyue said confidently. "I promised King Yama I would protect you. If anything happens to you, King Yama will throw me into a sea of ​​fire. I don't want to end up like Pulao, sealed in fire for life. Your priority now is to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible."

Chao Bufan gave a wry smile and said, "You know perfectly well that once your cultivation reaches this level, it's not easy to improve it in just a few days."

Tian Yue nodded in agreement, then said seriously, "No matter what, just focus on your cultivation. If there really is such a powerful person, even if it means my death, I will not let anything happen to you."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan felt a warmth in his heart. He wanted to sincerely thank him, but he swallowed the words back down. He suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, brother, I almost forgot. Weren't the great worlds like the Demon Realm, the God Realm, and the Buddha Realm destroyed?"

“Yes,” Tianyue asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Chao Bufan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother, do you know that the barriers in these worlds have started to loosen? Not long ago, I even entered the Demon Realm!"

"Really?" Tianyue immediately became interested and quickly asked, "What did you see?"

Chao Bufan said, "The demon realm I saw was in complete disarray, deathly still and devoid of any life."

"So what did you get inside?" Tianyue asked.

Chao Bufan shook his head and said, "We only found a short knife at the barrier, nothing else."

"Then why didn't you search deeper? There must be something good inside!" Tianyue said, seemingly with some regret.

Chao Bufan said with a wry smile, "That place, as soon as you enter, you feel your life rapidly slipping away, as if some mysterious force is devouring your life. You can't stay there for even a second longer. You're lucky if you can even grab a short knife."

Tian Yue nodded and said, "That makes sense."

“As far as I know,” Chao Bufan continued, “people have entered the Buddhist Realm, the Dragon Realm, and the God Realm, but they all had to leave after only a few seconds.”

Tian Yue smiled slightly and said, "I thought I was the only one who could stay for a few seconds. It turns out you can too."

"Uh!" Chao Bufan exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, did you also go to that enlightenment place?"

Tianyue nodded and said, "I've been to the Demon Realm before, and just like you, I felt my vital signs rapidly deteriorating as soon as I entered."

"So, did you find anything?" Chao Bufan asked.

Tianyue shook her head and said, "We didn't find anything, and we almost couldn't get out. In the end, it was all for nothing."

……

A dilapidated temple, far from the city and long forgotten, is said to have been built over two hundred years ago. When it was first built, it coincided with a time of war, so people flocked to it every day to pray for blessings. The temple was very popular, and everyone hoped to receive the protection of the gods here to keep their families safe.

Perhaps the gods here were not effective, and people continued to live in misery. People near the temple either died or fled, so fewer and fewer people came to pray for blessings, and eventually no one believed in the gods here anymore.

The temple is built in the middle of the mountain and was carved out by hand, so it is still relatively intact. However, the five bronze statues inside have been completely changed by the passage of time and are covered with rust. In addition, the words "Tianjingtang" are carved above the cave entrance, so it is unknown which deity these five bronze statues in the cave represent.

Outside the temple, the moon was bright and the stars were few, but inside the temple it was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

However, within the pitch-black temple, eerie flames flickered intermittently, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Beneath the central statue, a strange cloud of black smoke gathered but did not dissipate. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this cloud of black smoke was spinning at an astonishing speed, occasionally emitting eerie rays of light.

Amidst the black smoke, Su Haijun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. However, at this moment, he was covered in sweat, and his eyebrows twitched slightly from time to time. It was clear that he was meditating and cultivating, and had reached a critical juncture.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed sharply, large beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, then dripped down, and his expression seemed to turn to extreme pain, his entire body trembling. A moment later, he abruptly tilted his head back and opened his arms, simultaneously clenching his fists. Then, a strange sound emanated from every part of his body…

"Click, click, click, click..."

It sounded like bones shattering, and the pain on his face seemed to have reached its peak. His face was contorted, and his whole body was convulsing, as if he had suffered some kind of great blow. Even the black smoke around him was spinning faster.
