The True Form of the Twisted Entity

Enyong entered the room where the sealed evil substance was held and surveyed the surroundings. Nearly half of the Shuntian Sect members followed him inside, while the other half remained outside in case of an emergency.

After looking around, Enyong and the others who had entered found nothing. Speculation gradually arose within the group that this might have been a false alarm.

However, Enyong did not believe that. He understood how the sealing alarm worked—the alarm was directly connected to the first core seal. If the seal was damaged, it sounded; if it was not, it remained silent. The alarm was inanimate, not a living person capable of making mistakes. There was no such thing as a false alarm.

When Enyong touched the statue in the center of the room, he immediately understood why.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Enyong snapped off one of the statue's fingers.

The sight startled the other members of the Shuntian Sect. Damaging the statue could release the evil substance sealed within.

Just as everyone from the Shuntian Sect instinctively prepared for battle, they waited for a long while without the expected rampage of the evil substance. Breaking the statue's finger had triggered nothing.

A faint fury on his face, Enyong addressed the others from the Shuntian Sect.

"We've been deceived! The evil substance isn't here. It has already bypassed the second and third talismanic seals and escaped!"

Enyong did not know how the evil substance had bypassed the second and third talismanic seals, but the facts before him said exactly that—the evil substance was no longer here. And if it was not here, then it could only have escaped.

Thinking of the consequences of allowing the evil substance to escape, Enyong and the other members of the Shuntian Sect broke out in cold sweat.
