Chapter 326: Jiuyuan's New Master

Chapter 326: Jiuyuan's New Master

The eight lords were either stunned or screamed in shock, unable to believe that a young man with the lowest cultivation level among these challengers could actually force the Night Demon Prince into such a miserable state.

Seeing that Feng Jinglun was about to hit the statue, he suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Part of the air in the hall instantly condensed into an invisible iron wall, which blocked the rapid charge and caused Feng Jinglun to stop in the air.

Li Tong explained in a low voice: "He can only use the power of the Temple of Life. After all, it is a supreme immortal weapon. It will be difficult to completely suppress it unless the Eight Scenery Lantern awakens."

Cheng Bai stopped attacking the Golden Tower, and returned from his tyrant form to his normal appearance. He said calmly, "Senior Feng, you have moved! According to the bet, I win this battle."

Feng Jinglun was covered in blood, and his hands were covered in blood after he wiped his face. He felt his wounds slowly recovering, and muffled his voice, "You really won?! Then... what do you want to take away?"

Cheng Bai had already thought it through. He looked directly at the person opposite him and said loudly, "Temple of Life!"

The scene was silent. Everyone looked at each other, thinking for a moment that they had heard it wrongly.

"Wahahaha..." Feng Jinglun was shocked and dazed at first, but soon he burst into laughter.

After a while, he stopped laughing and said, "The little fellow who calls himself the White Emperor is quite capable. Well, I will give you the Temple of Life, take it! But...how can you take it away? If you shout, will it respond? Hahaha..."

"Hehehe... hehe... hiss hiss hiss..." The eight lords seemed to have heard the most absurd joke in the world. They were laughing so hard that they fell backwards. Their laughter full of sarcasm and contempt echoed in the air.

"Even if you give it to me, I can't take it away. It's just a foolish dream!" Cheng Bai thought to himself.

The Temple of Life has stood here for countless reincarnations, and no one has ever controlled it except the Night Demon Prince and the Night Demon Mistress.

This so-called decisive battle, which seemed fair according to the rules of the Nine-Layered Abyss, was a scam from the very beginning.

Only the Nine Abyss Demon Lord can take away the challenger's soul or items, while those who rely on luck and try to win will get nothing in the end even if they really stand out!

Cheng Bai figured it all out, and said calmly, "Senior Feng, just acknowledge this. I can't take it away for now, but I will come to take it when I have enough ability in the future. Everyone, remember the bet we made today, the Temple of Life belongs to me."

After saying this, he calmly turned around and retreated back to his own camp.

Seeing that the young man in front of him was calm, Feng Jinglun put away his smile and thought to himself: "This boy has a steady and firm heart and unpredictable talent. His performance so far is not inferior to any other emperor's son. If he grows up successfully in the future, he will come back to ask for it..."

Thinking of this, Feng Jinglun panicked and hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, where are you going?"

"The affairs here have been concluded. Night is approaching, so we should say goodbye. See you later, seniors!" Cheng Bai responded calmly with the secret art of communication, called his teammates, and led the team to retreat, "Let's go!"

Zhai Xufei and others looked at each other in delight. Leaving the Temple of Life safely without any injury was undoubtedly the greatest victory.

"We didn't suffer any substantial losses, just a little face loss." Feng Jinglun thought it was okay after careful consideration, and was about to say a few high-sounding words when his expression suddenly changed.

He glared at Yong Yao fiercely, then turned to Cai Youling and shouted angrily: "You two princes are so bold!"

The blade of punishment suddenly broke through the air and fell, the blade light passed through Yong Yao and Cai Youling. At first glance, it seemed that the two of them would be annihilated with one blow, but surprisingly, the two princes' figures slowly disintegrated and gradually turned into nothingness.

The so-called emperor's sons who were the leaders of the two forces were actually the creation of extremely sophisticated illusions!

When Dharma King Miaoyin saw that his magic had been discovered, he hurriedly took back the remaining reflection of Brahma and led Xian Gen and Gou Yifan to retreat to the temple gate.

Wu Qiubai, moving alone, was as fast as a ghost and flew straight towards the palace gate.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Bai estimated that the remaining magic power was enough to transform into a tyrant again to deal with the sudden situation, so he raised the Eight Scenery Lamp in his left hand to prevent any accidents, and called out, "Follow me quickly." He then rushed out with his teammates.

Feng Jinglun's resentment and anger reached their peak at this moment. He wanted to control the Temple of Life to close the door and force everyone present to stay.

Unexpectedly, a faint sigh suddenly sounded, floating in the hall with a crisp and ethereal sound: "Go slowly, Baidi, you have already won the spoils, how can you not take me with you?"

Cheng Bai was extremely surprised when he heard this. He turned around to look at the source of the voice. The huge statue of the Night Demon Mistress seemed to be speaking.

Feng Jinglun was terrified as if struck by lightning. He turned around and said in a trembling voice: "Jiuyuan, you...how could you bear to abandon me?" His voice could not hide the despair, like an abandoned child.

Jiuyuan, the spirit of the Life Temple, replied: "My original owner was the Night Demon Mistress of the previous generation, but she has passed away for a long time, and you have been in charge for many years. I hope to leave the Nine-Layered Abyss to seek the mysteries of the mortal world, and it just so happens that today will decide on a new master. In the vast world, among the vast sea of ​​people, we meet unexpectedly! Isn't this a great fate?"

"No...it shouldn't be like this! The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire should transform into the sun in the Temple of Life. The two should be perfectly combined to become a divine weapon and worship me as the new master! Such a wonderful thing, why did it end up like this...How could it be?"

Feng Jinglun was in a state of panic. He suddenly woke up from his incoherent shouting and faced the crisis. He turned to the eight lords and ordered them sternly: "Someone has taken away the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire. Something big is going to happen! Quick! Give me Mo Gui's body, and everyone come quickly."

The eight lords all changed color in anger. They didn't care about Cheng Bai and others and hurriedly followed Feng Jinglun out of the other side of the palace door.

Without encountering any hindrance, Dharma King Miaoyin and Wu Qiubai rushed out of the Temple of Life in a hurry, resolutely boarded their respective spirit boats and flying armors and flew away. Their speed of escape was so fast that it seemed as if there was a great terror chasing them closely behind them.

The Tiantian Sect all stopped and looked up at the Night Demon Mistress statue in the distance. Cheng Bai asked, "Are you...the Life Temple really willing to recognize me as its master?"

A dazzling three-color light rose from the Night Demon Mistress statue, flashing and jumping in front of Cheng Bai, and transformed into a cute little girl in a yellow, green and purple dress, and said crisply: "Meet the Master. Just give me a drop of essence and blood, and Jiu Yuan will be the Master's loyal servant from now on!"

Cheng Bai looked around and saw no one around. He asked in surprise, "How many years have you never acknowledged your master?"

Jiu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "The previous owner of the Temple of Life passed away tens of thousands of reincarnations, and the remaining marks disappeared. Feng Jinglun, as the blood of the owner, took over this treasure. He originally planned to refine the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire into a top-grade immortal treasure to match me, and combine the two into one to become the next owner... Unexpectedly, he lost the Temple of Life to the master."

The spirit of the immortal weapon will choose a new master at its discretion. The bet has been decided, so it is reasonable for him to follow Cheng Bai.

Cheng Bai no longer hesitated and forced out a drop of essence and blood to feed the spirit of the weapon.

Jiu Yuan obtained the essence and blood, and jumped up and down excitedly, cheering: "It's true, I finally found it!"

Cheng Bai was slightly surprised. Could it be that Jiu Yuan was looking for a specific master?

Before they could ask in detail, everyone suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and then immediately returned to normal.

Cheng Bai realized that the current situation was urgent. Even though he was in charge of the Temple of Life, he could not relax. He quickly asked a more important question: "Why is Feng Jinglun in such a hurry to go out?"

Jiu Yuan said truthfully: "Just now, two people were fighting for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire at the bottom of the Chongyuan Ravine. One of them used the Illusion Feather Void Mirror and took away the source of the divine fire while the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire was extremely weak."

Cheng Bai suddenly realized, "It's Yong Yao and Cai Youling! They sneaked into the hall with a special illusion, and arranged for experts to pretend to be invited to a gambling fight to delay time as much as possible, while their real bodies waited outside for the best opportunity to seize the source of divine fire. Cai Youling had the upper hand in the fight with the immortal weapon."

Jiu Yuan agreed, "My Lord is smart, that's about it. But if the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire is lost, Jiu Chong Yuan will be in big trouble!"

Zhai Xufei couldn't help but wonder, and interrupted, "Could it be that the divine fire source is used to suppress some powerful evil spirit?"

Jiu Yuan said solemnly, "It's more serious than I imagined! The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire is a treasure that blocks the eye of the wind. Without it, the Nine Layers Abyss will never have daylight again and will be forever submerged by the raging underworld wind!"

Cheng Bai asked the question that had puzzled him before: "Why does the Night Demon Prince stay in the deep abyss all year round? Is it to raise the source of divine fire and wait for the harvest?"
