True Lord White Had Been Stolen Away!

After Song Shuhang left the Nameless Temple, his heart rate gradually calmed down.

At this time, outside the Nameless Temple, worshippers still came in an endless stream to offer incense. A few days ago, most of the worshippers were middle-aged women and elderly women. Now, however, many young men and women have joined them.

When Song Shuhang left the Nameless Temple, four young men and women entered the temple together.

One of the girls lowered her voice and asked her companion, "Lin Yue, do you think the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue that powerful?"

The girl next to her, with a slightly chubby face, answered softly, "I'm curious too. You know that Young Master Yu in my class, right? He's got some spare cash and keeps changing girlfriends. But the day before yesterday, after he came to the Nameless Temple out of curiosity and saw this Nameless Immortal Lord Statue, he became a completely different person. He dropped his girlfriend and now thinks about going to this Nameless Daoist Temple every day."

The boy next to him nodded in agreement. "I also came because I was curious about Young Master Yu. I'm really curious what the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue that can make people so infatuated looks like?"

The three young people, a man and a woman, were all students. They came to offer incense out of curiosity. There are quite a few people like them who come to offer incense out of curiosity about the Immortal Lord Statue. No wonder the Nameless Temple has been becoming more and more popular lately.

Beside the three students was a young man in his late twenties.

Unlike the three students, he traveled a long way to this place after hearing that the "Nameless Temple Nameless Immortal Lord" was very efficacious.

After entering the temple, the young man lit incense and candles, and prayed softly. "Immortal Lord, please bless my sister and cure her illness, so that she will no longer suffer from that strange and debilitating ailment. I beg you to grant my wish; if my sister is cured, I will definitely come back to build a magnificent Daoist temple for you as a way of fulfilling my vow!"

After finishing his prayers, the young man looked up at the statue of the immortal.

Just one glance was enough to make his heart race and his breathing quicken—the statue of the immortal lord before him was so perfect that he couldn't look away!

I would have no regrets even if I had to give up everything to get it!

This thought wouldn't leave his mind.

The young man's eyes were glazed over, and in the end, he didn't even know how he left the Nameless Temple.

I returned to my car as if in a daze.

Then, the driver called him several times before he came to his senses.

"Young Master Gu, shall we go back?" the driver asked, frowning—he felt that Young Master Yi Gu had been completely possessed just now.

"Okay, let's go back first. Yes, we'll talk about it when we get back." Young Master Gu nodded in reply.

The Nameless Immortal Lord Statue... This matter needs careful consideration!

************************

Song Shuhang returned to the internet cafe and knocked on the door of the private room.

Pekingese Doudou quickly opened the door and then swiftly climbed back to the computer.

"Doudou, stop playing games and look at me first!" Song Shuhang called out.

Doudou didn't even turn her head. "What's the matter?"

"Look at me! Give me a full body checkup!" Song Shuhang.

"You're not a girl, why would I check you? Did you run into some kind of ghost or evil spirit?" Doudou glanced at Song Shuhang.

"No, I just went to that Nameless Temple and saw the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue inside, and then some strange things happened." Song Shuhang described to Doudou the eerie heartbeat and the detailed process when he saw the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue: "So, please take a look for me, is there some kind of strange magic on that Nameless Immortal Lord Statue? And am I under some kind of charm spell?"

Doudou paused, then its dog eyes gleamed with golden light as it scanned Song Shuhang from head to toe, replying, "No problem, his body is as strong as an ox. There's no trace of magic left on him."

After saying that, Doudou withdrew its dog eyes and went back to having fun.

Song Shuhang felt a little relieved.

Could it be that the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue is truly a masterpiece, reaching the pinnacle of sculptural art, so captivating that one glance is enough to draw one in completely?

But I still feel like something's not quite right.

************

After that, Song Shuhang stayed obediently in the private room.

He opened the Nine Provinces Number One Group, hoping to see what news or gossip was going on, but the group was completely silent today.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Mad Saber Three Waves, and True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey are trapped on the Mysterious Island and unable to access the internet. But why are none of the other seniors saying anything?

With nothing to do, Song Shuhang could only rest, cultivate, take Grain-Repelling Pill, and then cultivate again...

The waiting time always seems to take forever.

I finally made it to 8 p. m.

True Lord White is about to emerge from seclusion!

"It's almost time." Song Shuhang took out the small flute, preparing to contact True Lord White.

At this moment, the green flute vibrated first. Then, a soft voice came from the green flute. "Hello! Is this Fellow Song Shuhang?"

It was a message from True Lord White. He learned through the message function of the 'Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Magic Device' that Song Shuhang was a fellow Daoist who had come to pick him up from seclusion.

Song Shuhang replied, "Hello, Senior True Lord White, have you finished your seclusion?"

"Yes, I've finished my seclusion... You can come pick me up now," True Lord White replied.

Song Shuhang asked, "Where in Lin Yao Village are you in seclusion? I'll come find you there."

"As for the location, let me see. I seem to be in a small house. Haha, something seems amiss around me. Here's what we'll do... Just follow the connection of the 'Thousand-Mile Voice Flute' to find me. As long as you hold the 'Thousand-Mile Voice Flute' and circulate your spiritual power, you'll be able to sense a special sound wave between the magic weapon and me. Follow this sound wave and you'll find me," said True Lord White.

Song Shuhang tried to activate the <True Self Meditation Scripture> and indeed sensed a special sound wave attached to the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Device. The other end of the sound wave link was deep within Lin Yao Village.

"I sensed it, Senior True Lord White. I'll come find you right away," Song Shuhang replied.

Then, he asked the Pekingese, "Doudou, shall we go pick up True Lord White together?"

"No need, just bring True Lord White over. Oh, and... please top up my internet credit before you leave. The internet cafe manager just reminded me that ten hours have passed and I'm already overdue for more than an hour." Doudou replied without turning her head.

"Then stay here and don't wander off. We'll go back once I bring True Lord White back." Song Shuhang went to the front desk of the internet cafe and paid another hundred.

Then, following the special sound waves of the 'Thousand-Mile Voice Flute', they searched all the way.

As Song Shuhang walked, the closer he got to True Lord White, the more familiar the surrounding terrain seemed.

Finally... he arrived at the 'Nameless Temple'.

"Here?" Song Shuhang looked at the Nameless Temple with a puzzled expression.

At this time, there were still many worshippers outside the temple, and the temple itself was brightly lit.

Song Shuhang held the 'Thousand-Mile Voice Flute' and asked, "Senior True Lord White, is your secluded cultivation location the Nameless Temple?"

"Nameless Temple? Now that you mention it, it seems I'm in a Daoist temple." The voice of True Lord White replied, "Shuhang, I can sense your location. Enter the temple, and you'll see a statue being worshipped; that's me!"

That's me... that's me...

Song Shuhang froze—was that Nameless Immortal Lord Statue in the Daoist temple the True Lord White?

This was completely unexpected for him.

Before this, he would never have associated 'True Lord White' with this Nameless Immortal Lord statue!

One is a senior who has been in seclusion for a long time, and the other is a deity enshrined in a Daoist temple.

One was an imagined luxurious retreat, while the other was an ancient, Nameless Daoist Temple.

More importantly, True Lord White clearly closed his head more than 150 years ago. However, according to information found online, the statue of this Nameless Immortal Lord was erected hundreds of years ago. Indeed, stories passed down through generations always contain many errors and exaggerations; there's a difference of more than a hundred years in the timeline.

Therefore, no matter how wildly Song Shuhang imagined it, even with nothing but air around his neck, he still couldn't connect the two.

There was no magnificent secluded training ground, no hundreds of layers of defensive formations; all there was was an old Daoist temple!

Song Shuhang couldn't help but ask, "Senior True Lord White, weren't you in seclusion? Why have you turned into a statue and been enshrined in a Daoist temple?"

"Haha, this is a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly after I get out." True Lord White sighed, "Shuhang, do you have any way to distract the worshippers below so I can come out of the statue? The main problem is that when I come out, I need to blow up the outer stone shell, which will be quite a commotion. If someone sees me, it might cause unnecessary trouble."

If True Lord White were to suddenly blast the statue apart in front of the worshippers and emerge from it... it would definitely become big news and cause countless troubles!

Song Shuhang glanced at the pilgrims outside the temple; there seemed to be quite a lot of them.

With so many worshippers, he simply had no way to lure them away at once except by setting fire!

"Senior True Lord White, why don't we wait a bit longer? The pilgrims will probably be leaving soon," Song Shuhang said after thinking for a moment.

"No problem, as long as you're not in a hurry." True Lord White didn't mind at all. He'd been in seclusion for over 150 years; why would he care about waiting a few more hours?

Life is full of disappointments.

Time passed slowly, and it was around 10 p. m. when the number of worshippers outside the Nameless Temple did not decrease, but instead increased!

At this rate, even if it's past midnight, many pilgrims will still linger.

Some pilgrims might stay until tomorrow morning!

If that's the case, how will True Lord White emerge from the statue?

"True Lord, I'll go ask for help to temporarily disperse the crowd. Then True Lord can take the opportunity to come out." Song Shuhang thought of Doudou; perhaps it had a way to disperse the crowd?

"No problem," True Lord White replied.

Song Shuhang quickly towards the internet cafe.

************

Shortly after Song Shuhang left, four small trucks drove up to the outside of the Nameless Temple.

About sixty burly men jumped off the small truck and gathered together.

Then, the Young Master Yi Gu, who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old that morning, got out of the car.

Young Master Yi Gu glanced at the Nameless Temple from afar, took a deep breath, and said, "Go! Dig up the statue of the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue and take it with you! And remember, don't stare at the statue!"

"Yes!" Sixty burly men responded and rushed towards the Nameless Temple in a swarm... brutally pushing aside the worshippers blocking their way. Among them, ten men carrying tools came to the base of the Nameless Immortal Lord Statue, preparing to dig Immortal Lord Statue up and take it away.
