"Master, don't worry. I'm really just touching it. There's no need to be so nervous."
After Xu Yan finished speaking, he walked forward and placed his hand on the Buddha statue.
Upon seeing this, Li Shuo and company's hearts immediately jumped. They understood the conversation between the monk and Xu Yan. If Xu Yan really had other thoughts, all of them would die here.
Just as Xu Yan placed his hand on the Buddha statue, a surge of modification points surged towards Xu Yan. Xu Yan hurriedly opened the panel to check his modification points.
300！
500！
1000！
These modification points were like a flood, constantly surging into Xu Yan's body!
Finally, the modification points in the Buddha statue were completely absorbed by Xu Yan. The modification points on the panel had reached 2,358!
Wuhu!
Take off!
He wouldn't lack modification points for a long time in the future!
This wave was really comfortable!
After absorbing the modification points, the Buddha statue didn't seem to have any changes. Xu Yan returned to his original position.
The monk opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yan and said, "It seems like this poor monk has gauged the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain!
This poor monk apologizes to Benefactor Xu. "
"There's no need for that. One must always be wary of others. If I were Master, I wouldn't have stepped aside." Xu Yan said.
"Thank you for your understanding, Benefactor Xu. Now, we just need to wait for the devil to break the seal!" The monk looked at the base of the Buddha statue as though he could see the devil inside.
"By the way, Master, why don't you take advantage of this time to tell us about the origin of the devil? Who knows, there might be other ways." Xu Yan said.
"Alright, I'll tell you about it." The monk continued, "Speaking of which, this devil is only alive now because of me."
"Actually, four hundred years ago, before the Myriad Buddha Temple was destroyed, this devil already existed. It is not a human, but a demonic beast that has been demonized!"
"Its original form was a lion that had become a demon. It was subdued by an elder of our Buddhist Sect because it ate humans and was brought back to the temple to be suppressed. However, by chance, this lion that had become a demon accidentally ate a Demonic Will Sarira that was forced out of its body by an eminent monk in the temple in order to expel the inner demons. Thus, it turned into a demon and its strength increased greatly!"
"In order to suppress this demonic beast, several senior monks of the temple joined forces and sealed it in the Demon Sealing Tower."
"I see.
However, since it was successfully suppressed, why did the Myriad Buddha Temple become like this? "Xu Yan asked curiously.
Xu Yan understood what was going on, but the other four were confused. This was getting more and more ridiculous. Forget about the martial arts masters, how could even a demonic beast appear?!
The monk sighed and continued, "That's why I said that I was the one who caused this disaster."
"Originally, this demon only needed to be sealed for eighty-one days before it turned into ashes. However, a problem occurred midway."
"That day, my junior brother and I went to inspect the Demon Sealing Tower to see if there was any damage. It was originally just a routine inspection, but that demon seemed to have absorbed something inside. Not only did his strength increase greatly, he even awakened the ability to confuse people."
"My junior brother was careless and fell for it. When I discovered it, it had already opened the door of the Demon Sealing Tower!
Although I activated the outer array of the Demon Sealing Tower in time and trapped the demon, my junior brother was also trapped inside. "
"My junior brother begged me inside the array to let him out. I couldn't bear it, so I opened the Demon Sealing Formation the moment the demon turned around and let my junior brother out."
"In the end, I didn't expect that the one inside was only a clone of the demon. The real demon was hiding in my junior brother's body!"
"The demon that had increased greatly in strength killed four eminent monks of the temple. No one could stop it. Its ferocity was monstrous!
As for me, I was killed by the aftermath of the battle. "
"In order to prevent the demon from escaping and harming all living beings, the abbot had no choice but to activate the Demon Sealing Formation with the lives of all the monks in the temple. All the monks in the temple died and turned into stone statues. They are the stone statues outside."
As the monk spoke, he looked at the stone statues outside with a trace of sorrow in his eyes.
"I don't know why, but my soul was sucked into the Demon Sealing Formation and became the array spirit of the Demon Sealing Formation. I survived until now."
"However, as time passed, the energy of the Demon Sealing Formation gradually weakened. As the array spirit, I also weakened and couldn't stop the invasion of the black gas. All the stone statues of the monks in the temple were corroded by the black gas. That's why it became like this."
"And tonight, coincidentally, it's a full moon night. The corrosion of the black gas will reach its limit and the demon will use this opportunity to break out!"
"All of this is my fault!
If I hadn't been soft-hearted, the demon wouldn't have been able to escape from the Demon Sealing Pagoda! "
"Master, don't blame yourself. All of this isn't your fault. It's all because the demon is too sinister. It actually possessed your junior brother. Who would have thought of this!" Li Shuo went forward to persuade him.
The other three people also went forward to comfort the monk. It wasn't his fault.
"Master, all of this is indeed your fault!" Xu Yan, who was standing behind, suddenly said.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. They turned to look at Xu Yan with a dumbfounded expression.
Although the monk did have some responsibility, now wasn't the time to pursue the matter!
After all, if they wanted to leave later, they would need the monk's help!
Xu Yan ignored everyone's dumbfounded gazes and continued, "Your fault is that you aren't strong enough. You aren't strong enough!
If you're strong enough, so what if you accidentally release that devil?
Wouldn't it be fine if you just suppressed it again? "
"But you don't have the strength. Your strength isn't enough. That's why the entire Myriad Buddha Temple was destroyed. Therefore, all of this is your fault!"
"All of the unfavorable situations in this world are caused by the lack of strength of the person involved!"
After saying that, Xu Yan ignored the dumbfounded people. In a flash, he arrived in front of the Buddha statue. With a punch, he sent the Buddha statue that was suppressing the demon flying!
When everyone saw this, they wanted to stop him. Unfortunately, it was too late!
A dense black gas emerged from the base of the Buddha statue and formed a black lion in the air.
Looking at the terrifying lion, the monk sighed helplessly. It was impossible for him to seal it with his strength.
"Haha!
I'm out!
I've been locked up for more than four hundred years!
I'm finally out! "The black lion roared towards the sky.
After roaring a few times, the lion floated down and looked at Xu Yan in front of it. It said, "You're the one who let me out?
While I'm in a good mood, tell me. What benefits do you want? "
"I can have any benefits?" Xu Yan asked with interest.
"Of course. As long as I have it, I can give it to you!" The lion said.
However, before it finished speaking, it continued in its heart. As long as you can take it away!
"Alright!
Then I'll make a request! "Xu Yan said in all seriousness," I want your life! "
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, including the demonic lion. Everyone looked at Xu Yan with a dumbfounded expression. They couldn't believe what Xu Yan had said!
