Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2435: Chapter 2436: The Secret of True Martial

Fu Niu Mountain.

True Martial Daoist Temple.

As one of the important branches of the Daoist Family, although it has gradually declined in recent years, it can still be considered a leading Sect.

At this moment.

Right in the main hall of this Daoist Temple, the master of True Martial Daoist Temple, and simultaneously the leader of the True Martial sect, Lü Zhongxuan holds three sticks of incense, devoutly placed in the incense burner before the altar.

As the smoke curls around, the deity statue on the altar appears even more imposing.

After the incense has burned out, Lü Zhongxuan sits on the prayer mat before the altar and begins his daily ritual.

This is his unwavering daily habit!

At this time, all the disciples would retreat from the main hall, leaving Lü Zhongxuan alone.

Today is no exception, the large hall is empty, and the windows are tightly shut, preventing any outside light from entering, making it very dark.

In such an environment, only Lü Zhongxuan’s soft chanting of the scriptures resonates.

Suddenly.

The darkness in the corner of the hall begins to surge, and then several imperceptible black lights project directly into the deity statue on the altar.

After that, the statue begins to move.

Yes!

It’s wriggling.

As if in an instant, countless tendrils grew within the statue, densely packed black lines swaying freely, yet not making any sound, and then they converge towards Lü Zhongxuan on the prayer mat.

Lü Zhongxuan is unaware, still devoutly reciting the scriptures.

But just as these black lines are about to touch Lü Zhongxuan, a glint of golden light flashes from between his brows.

These black lines stiffen and then vanish.

Lü Zhongxuan is completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world.

Everything returns to silence until he finishes chanting scriptures for a full hour, only then does Lü Zhongxuan slowly open his eyes, filled with disappointment.

"True Martial Master, have you truly abandoned us? Why is it that no matter how devoutly I pray, you never respond?"

Softly murmuring, Lü Zhongxuan raises his head to look at the deity statue on the altar shrouded in darkness.

The statue naturally remains silent, standing quietly.

Lü Zhongxuan gives a bitter smile.

"If not for sensing the remaining trace of aura within the statue, I would truly believe...."

Lü Zhongxuan swallows the rest of his words, but the worry on his face has already betrayed him.

After sitting quietly for a moment longer, Lü Zhongxuan shakes his head, sighs, and stands up to walk out.

But he doesn’t know, as he turns, strands of nearly indistinguishable dark lines emerge and approach his back.

Lü Zhongxuan remains unaware, raising his hand to push open the hall doors.

At this moment, the sunlight outside is just right. As the hall doors open, sunlight streams in, shining directly on the black lines.

The lines instantly disintegrate, and simultaneously, the sunlight traces the lines upward, causing the statue to tremble slightly, seemingly emitting a pained roar, but then everything returns to normal.

Lü Zhongxuan promptly turns back.

The hall behind him is empty, the statue stands quietly, the incense smoke swirling, Lü Zhongxuan sees no anomaly.

Yet a trace of doubt flashes in his eyes.

Earlier, he clearly heard a roar of unwilling pain, how did it suddenly disappear?

Just as he is puzzled, a commotion suddenly arises outside the mountain gate, soon a disciple rushes in, looking alarmed and shouting.

"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!"

Lü Zhongxuan is momentarily stunned, his expression immediately solemn, "What happened?"

"Just now, the Grand Priest reported that Fei Chen Senior Brother has been possessed by evil, already comatose, and the chief punishment Great Elder is also injured, they ask you to prepare quickly!"

"What?" Lü Zhongxuan is shocked.

This news is simply too alarming.

For a moment, he is somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, after a brief panic, he finally calms down a bit and solemnly commands, "Immediately gather all the elders staying in the Temple, prepare yourselves!"

"Yes!"

The disciple departs with the order.

But before Lü Zhongxuan can make further preparations, a dozen rays of light fly from beyond the sky and land directly before the main hall.

Leading them is the Grand Priest Lü Qixian, accompanied by members of the True Martial sect.

However, everyone appears somewhat disheveled now.

Because several people are carrying a stretcher, on which lies the comatose Lü Fei Chen.

Meanwhile, two people are supporting the pale-faced Lü Xiuming.

"Master!" Grand Priest Lü Qixian, upon seeing Lü Zhongxuan standing at the door, immediately salutes.

Lü Zhongxuan gestures and quickly steps forward to examine Lü Fei Chen’s condition.

After a moment, his expression turns extremely grim.

"What exactly happened?"

Grand Priest Lü Qixian sighs lightly and recounts the mission, how Lü Fei Chen was injured by an unexpectedly appearing evil creature, and other details.

After listening, Lü Zhongxuan’s expression turns pale.

For Lü Fei Chen is truly significant.

He has poured all his energy into this successor, in hopes that he will shine at the Bai Family Convention, to boost True Martial Daoist Temple’s prestige.

But now this unexpected event has disrupted the entire plan.

"And what about him?" Lü Zhongxuan points at the chief punishment Great Elder Lü Xiuming.

Before Grand Priest can speak, Lü Xiuming forces himself to speak, "Master, all of this is to blame on the Pharmacists’ Alliance’s Heavenly Maiden Empress, I was injured by her!"

"Oh? Heavenly Maiden Empress? What’s going on exactly?"

Though badly injured, Lü Xiuming’s speech is unhindered, and he recounts the incident.

Of course, he glosses over the part about seizing the Treasure Bead, but focuses on describing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s "overbearing" nature.

Moreover, he subtly embellishes Lü Zhengqing’s disregard for Temple’s "interests" and his attempt to let Lü Yangyan escape.

After listening, Lü Zhongxuan furrows his brows, his expression turning grim.

He truly didn’t expect that a simple demon-slaying outing would result in so many issues.

He naturally knows of the Pharmacists’ Alliance’s Heavenly Maiden Empress, a formidable figure even he wouldn’t dare provoke.

As for Lü Zhengqing, he doesn’t pay too much attention.

Because he has his own views on Lü Zhengqing, so he waves his hand.

"Alright, enough said. Urgent priority now is to quickly heal Fei Chen’s injuries! As for the rest, we’ll discuss later!"

Lü Xiuming falls silent, not daring to speak.

"Bring him into the hall first!"

Soon, everyone carries Lü Fei Chen into the hall.

"Everyone out, the evil within him can only be temporarily suppressed by the aura left by True Martial Master. I will go find some Elixir left from years ago, which might help!"

"Yes!"

All exit the hall and close the doors tightly.

Lü Zhongxuan hastily goes to search for the Elixir, everyone else remains outside the hall waiting.

But they don’t know, at the moment the doors are shut, a tremor runs through the statue on the altar, and countless dark lines emerge from it, surging into the body of Lü Fei Chen on the stretcher.

In an instant, Lü Fei Chen’s body tremors, and then he abruptly opens his eyes.

His eyes are pure black like ink, with not the slightest human aura remaining.
