Chapter 1017 - 1016: Accepting Demonic Possession
"It seems like the master and Donor Nie are inside." The young apprentice didn’t know what the master was doing, just instructed him not to let people in, but that was when nothing happened. Now that the barrier is broken, they definitely have to escape for their lives.
"Chen Tianlong is inside? Oh no, could something have gone wrong?" Hearing this, Wu Mengting was shocked. If even Chen Tianlong was in trouble, they wouldn’t know what to do.
Shen Yan was their teacher and someone who had seen the world. At this moment, she was the calmest, and thus said, "Let’s not guess anymore. Chen Tianlong is so powerful, he couldn’t be in trouble. Let’s go inside and take a look first."
"Alright." Everyone nodded and began to walk toward the cave.
Inside the cave.
Master Wufa already sensed Zombie King Kong Fan slowly approaching, and Chen Tianlong’s demonic possession ritual still needed ten more minutes. At such a critical moment, he had to stay and protect.
Only he forgot to instruct them earlier, that once the barrier was broken, they should quickly evacuate and come here.
Just as he was in a dilemma, suddenly there was a commotion at the cave entrance. Master Wufa looked back and saw that it was those young girls, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Mengting and the others ran for a while, panting heavily, and suddenly Wu Mengting’s gaze fell upon a heavenly pool not far away. Chen Tianlong was emitting black gas, and most of the demon symbol next to him was already filled.
"Chen Tianlong!" Wu Mengting shouted, but saw Chen Tianlong remained unresponsive.
At this time, the others also noticed. They weren’t fools; such a terrifying scene, they wouldn’t think it’s a normal state. Especially since Wu Mengting called and Chen Tianlong didn’t respond, which was scientifically impossible.
"Tianlong seems to be in trouble. Could it be this Master Wufa doing something wicked?" Lu Xiaoyu said and directly rushed in front of Master Wufa, then asked, "Master, what’s going on? Are you trying to harm our Tianlong? I’m telling you, with me, Lu Xiaoyu here, you can forget it!"
Saying this, Lu Xiaoyu waved her hand, ready to go down with Wu Mengting and pull Chen Tianlong up.
But just then, an abrupt voice sounded: "You’d better not go over, otherwise Chen Tianlong will die horribly."
Hearing this, the two stopped in their tracks, and those young girls who were itching to move were stunned, waiting for Master Wufa to explain.
"Why? Master, what did you do to Chen Tianlong?" Wu Mengting was so anxious she was about to cry.
"He volunteered. What you are seeing now is Chen Tianlong undergoing the demonic possession ritual. Only this way can you be returned to your original place." Master Wufa explained up to this point, and the young girls all widened their eyes. Demonic possession? This term was so terrifying, they had only seen it in movies before.
Now it was real and happening around them, and it was happening to the man they loved and liked.
Oh my god!
They really thought they were dreaming, a dream they wanted to wake up from quickly, it was too frightening!
Wu Mengting and Lin Wushuang immediately remembered the words Chen Tianlong had said to them before. Thinking of it now, they were tearful, was Chen Tianlong saying his last words to them without them realizing it.
"Boo hoo... Chen Tianlong, don’t abandon me, I beg you, come out quickly." Wu Mengting fell to her knees with a thud, tears blurring her vision.
Seeing this, Master Wufa frowned, he was indeed powerless in this matter.
Lu Xiaoyu was closest to Wu Mengting, seeing her action, was taken aback. Although she was worried about Chen Tianlong, she wasn’t as exaggerated. Perhaps only those in love could feel the sense of loss.
"Mengting, please... please get up. Chen Tianlong will be alright." Lu Xiaoyu consoled. Actually, even she was unsure because Chen Tianlong’s situation was extremely dangerous now.
The others quickly moved to the poolside, tense to death, especially Lin Wushuang. This woman, who never dared to express her love for Chen Tianlong in front of everyone, now felt very conflicted.
Is Chen Tianlong going to die?
What should she do then?
At that moment, suddenly there was a loud noise at the entrance, a young apprentice quickly rushed into the cave, and said excitedly, "Master, Zombie King has brought a large group of zombies into the cave, what should we do?"
"Fight! Stall for time, only a few more minutes left. If Chen Tianlong succeeds in demonic possession, we have a glimmer of hope." Master Wufa could save his own life, but couldn’t save the others, especially since the barrier was already forced. The Zombie King’s ability to break his barrier indicated it had upgraded again.
"Huh? Can... can we hold on with just us?" the young apprentice said hesitantly.
"Even if we can’t hold on, we must, or not only will Chen Tianlong fail to complete the ritual, but even our lives will be in danger." Master Wufa knew the situation was serious, the current circumstance meant escaping would be useless, they’d end up dying at the hands of the Zombie King regardless. The only way was to stall for time.
Everyone nodded and started preparing for battle.
Wu Mengting snapped out of her grief, now, to protect Chen Tianlong, she must fight. She hated herself for having a Heaven-defying Physique without a suitable Heart Method, feeling very helpless.
At the entrance.
Kong Fan, with his troops, had rushed here. After glancing around, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly led the main force into the cave.
But just after a few steps, suddenly a white phantom appeared in front of him.
"Haha, Master Wufa hello, long time no see!" Kong Fan sneered coldly.
"I really wish we’d never see each other again." Master Wufa spoke straightforwardly, Zombie King Kong Fan’s existence was his greatest threat, and over the years, he’d been cultivating, hoping one day to eliminate the Zombie King.
But unfortunately, he never managed to achieve a calm heart and then undergo demonic possession. The most crucial thing was, even after demonic possession, the Demon-breaking Sword might not awaken, as he wasn’t of Thunder Element descent.
Shen Yan was, but Shen Yan’s heart wasn’t pure enough, after demonic possession, might become another demon.
So, in the end, Master Wufa chose Chen Tianlong, this enigmatic man with an indomitable will and an unperceivable physique.
"I want that too, but I’m immortal. Plus, this Ice and Snow Realm is so small, we can only meet frequently." Kong Fan felt victorious, not in a rush.
However, just then, suddenly a powerful demonic Qi spread, causing Kong Fan to immediately think of something.
He stopped talking, thought about rushing in to see what was happening inside, this demonic Qi others might not know, but he knew best. His Night of the Returning Soul was absorbing this demonic Qi and that allowed him to become Zombie King, eternally undead.
Now it appeared on Master Wufa’s turf, it definitely wasn’t a bad thing, but was specifically used to deal with him. Looking at these people, all tense, it was ten to one that there was something fishy going on inside.
