765 Searching for the Demon in the Illusion (1/2)

Translated by XephiZ

Edited by Aelryinth

Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu were anxious about the condition of their teammates. They could not care less about the concept behind the wooden clapper.

As Nanyu mentioned, they only needed to treat the world inside it as an illusion. The only way to deal with the amorphous demon spirit was by going into the illusion.

Jiang Shaoxu followed Nanyu's instructions and hypnotized Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu, before Nanyu used some special method to guide their souls into the vessel.

The truth was, the wooden clapper was imbued with the magic of the Curse Element. The curse was able to drag the soul of any living human nearby into the vessel and trap them like a cage. It was the main reason why the locals referred to it as a Soul Eater!

It was not an exaggeration to call it a Soul Eater. Among the Curse Element spells, both the Sinister Spider Trap and Demon Torture were able to inflict damage directly to their target's soul. Demon Torture could even torment the target by separating their soul from their body!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Mo Fan felt his eyelids falling heavily after he was hypnotized. He sat beside the wooden clapper and closed his eyes.

Strangely, when he opened his eyes again, he somehow felt restless.

He glanced at Ai Jiangtu beside him and saw the man had just opened his eyes too. They both shared a similar experience.

”Damn!” Mo Fan cursed all of a sudden.

Ai Jiangtu quickly rose to his feet and scanned the surroundings, yet they did not see Jiang Shaoxu or Nanyu!

”What happened? Where did they go?” Ai Jiangtu was confused too. He looked around in the old and shabby temple, yet he did not see the two girls.

”The wooden clapper is gone too, in just a blink of an eye...” said Mo Fan.

”Either way, we should go and look for them first,” said Ai Jiangtu.

Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningxue had already fallen victim, and now the two girls had gone missing right beside them. The situation was a lot more complicated.

The two took the same path back and soon realized something strange.

They remembered the path was previously covered by shrubs and vines, and the stone lamps on both sides were hidden by thick bushes too.

But now, the path was clear and spacious. Not even dust could be seen on the marble path. It was clean enough to reflect the two's faces...

”What's going on?” said Mo Fan.

Ai Jiangtu shook his head. He too found the series of events extremely odd.

They continued along the path and went back to the main temple, and discovered that the temple was livelier than they thought...

Around eight monks were busy carrying baskets of fresh ingredients and vegetables around in the kitchen. Meanwhile, a slightly plump monk was giving orders and pointing his fingers around.

”Hey, you two...oh, pardon me, but you're not allowed to go to the back of the mountain. It's not open to visitors,” the plump monk said in an unpleasant tone when he saw Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu.

Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan exchanged glances with one another. They had no idea how to respond. The truth was, they could not understand what the monk was saying, as he was speaking in Japanese.
