The Fairy looked up at the sound and discovered that there was another person sitting by the campfire.
She was Advanced Martial Artist, with incredibly sharp spiritual senses.
But if the Passerby A hadn't spoken up, she wouldn't have even noticed his presence.
A slight smile played on the corners of her lips beneath the Fairy mask, "A very special ability."
Passerby A said casually, "You flatter me."
The Taoist added another bundle of firewood to the fire and invited everyone to sit down.
Several people sat down around the campfire.
The Fairy sat down next to Qin Ze and took his arm.
Qin Ze habitually raised his arm so that the other person could take it.
Immediately, everyone else turned to look at the two of them.
Qin Ze asked curiously, "Is there something on my face?"
Slacking on the Sidelines knowing smile and said, "Young people, I get it! I get it!"
Qin Ze frowned slightly. "What do you know?"
Then, he turned his head unintentionally and noticed that the Fairy's hand was on his arm.
Qin Ze suddenly paused, taken aback.
The reason he instinctively raised his arm just now was because Qin Yu always linked arms with him when she was around.
Realizing that others had misunderstood.
Qin Ze tried to quietly pull his arm out.
But he found that the Fairy's hand was gripping him tightly, and he couldn't move.
Qin Ze looked at the Fairy's profile again.
She does indeed resemble Qin Yu, but upon closer inspection, there are subtle differences.
In comparison, Qin Yu's earlobes are fuller, unlike the Fairy are so thin.
Qin Ze shook his head, feeling that his guesses and ideas were somewhat ridiculous and outrageous.
He actually thought Qin Yu was Fairy.
The Taoist looked around at everyone and then said, "Next, I will tell you about the secrets of our Yin-Yang Temple that are not passed down to others."
" The Yin-Yang Temple was founded after the first beast tide, and each generation has only one master and one disciple."
"After the abbot's death, his disciple shall succeed him as abbot, and then the abbot shall search for his disciple as his successor."
"Every abbot has a responsibility, and this is also the responsibility of the Yin-Yang Temple."
"Guard the seal."
The word "seal" inexplicably reminded Qin Ze of the World Overlord.
The Dominator is in a state of slumber; isn't this a kind of seal in itself?
None of them asked any questions or interrupted, letting the Taoist continue speaking.
" The Sealed Land is located in Yin-Yang Mountain."
"Specific information about the Sealing Land and the sealed artifacts is known only to each successive abbot."
"Before his death, the abbot will tell his disciples some information."
"Your master is dead?" asked the Slacking on the Sidelines in surprise.
The Taoist priest nodded, a hint of melancholy flashing across his face.
"During the last Hundred Cities Beast Tide, my master sent me to the Sealing Land to cultivate."
"Later, something happened at the Sealing Land, and when I came out, my master was already dead."
The Fairy asked impatiently, "What exactly is sealed beneath the Yin-Yang Temple?"
The Taoist priest replied in a deep voice, " Ancestral Beast."
Qin Ze and the others looked at each other, each with a big question mark on their face.
The Taoist continued, "You may be unfamiliar with the Ancestral Beast, but if we put it another way, you'll all be familiar with it."
" The Ancestral Beast also has another name: World Overlord."
In an instant, Qin Ze's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
The World Overlord has been sealed away.
In other words, He awoke.
The group remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
The Taoist pondered for a moment and said, "One hundred and fifty-seven years ago, the first spatial rift appeared in Cloudfall Province, releasing a massive beast tide."
"Dozens of cities were attacked, and tens of millions were injured or killed."
"Although that wave of beasts was defeated under Xu Baichuan's leadership, Penglai City didn't exist at that time."
"After that, there were more than twenty more large and small beast tides, resulting in casualties equivalent to nearly half of the world's population."
Qin Ze suddenly realized.
With half the world's life force dead, the prerequisites for the awakening of the World Overlord have been met.
" Mu Xinhan, the first abbot of the Yin-Yang Temple, was a close friend of Xu Baichuan, and also the second Advanced Martial Artist of the Human Race after Xu Baichuan."
"Master Mu Xinhan discovered signs of the World Overlord's awakening, and before it awoke, the two joined forces to prepare to kill it."
"But the power of the World Overlord is simply beyond the reach of mortals."
"After the failed attack, both men were seriously injured."
"The abbot Mu Xinhan, finally made a decision: to use a Daoist secret technique, employing himself as a seal, to plunge the World Overlord back into slumber."
"Master Mu Xinhan succeeded; the power of the seal has plunged the Dominator back into slumber."
"From then on, the Yin-Yang Temple took on the responsibility of guarding the seal."
The Scholar asked in bewilderment, "Why is the Yin-Yang Temple passed down only to one person?"
This is also something that others don't understand.
Entrusting the safety of the entire world to just two people is utterly ridiculous.
Such an important place wouldn't be too much to leave even two Advanced Martial Artist.
The Taoist shook his head. "The seal cannot be guarded by just anyone. One must have mastered Daoist secret techniques and must inject power into the seal every year. That's one point."
"Secondly, and most importantly."
"Within a radius of one hundred miles of the Sealing Land, no more than three people may remain for an extended period."
"Otherwise, one's mind will be influenced by the World Overlord, and one will eventually go mad and lose control."
The larger the number of people affected, the greater the impact.
"Two people are ideal, and with the aid of Daoist techniques, they can counteract this force."
Qin Ze thought of the monster summoned by the fake Troupe Leader.
The mental impact it released was truly terrifying.
It felt as if countless demons were whispering in my ear.
If he hadn't possessed the Desolate God Bloodline that night, he would have truly met his end.
"After the beast tide in the hundred cities ended, the seal suddenly loosened."
"Despite my best efforts to contain it, something still managed to break free of the seal."
"A few days later, I reinforced the seal again."
"When I returned to the Yin-Yang Temple, I found my master lying in a pool of blood. He had been killed by the thing that had escaped the seal."
As he spoke, a flame of revenge ignited in the Taoist's eyes.
"Only a portion of the World Overlord power has broken free of the seal."
"With the sealing field in place, He cannot fully awaken yet."
"This force desires to go to the Abyss; the chaotic and disordered rules of the Abyss are its best nourishment."
"When this force grows stronger, working in concert from within and without, the World Overlord will break through the seal and fully awaken."
Slacking on the Sidelines, eyes wide. " That Mrs. Jingke from that day... was it her?"
The Taoist explained, "It's just that some of His followers who escaped the seal were too weak; they couldn't even cross the Gate of the Abyss."
"He infects others in Snow City like a virus, and those infected become his followers, gathering strength for him to help them cross the Gate of the Abyss."
The Dew Duo suddenly realized.
"Are the recent serial murders in Snow City all the work of believers?" (Slacking on the Sidelines.)
The Fairy and the Scholar were completely bewildered, having no idea what a serial murder case was; they had both just arrived in Snow City.
The Taoist nodded. "It was done by a believer."
He looked at the group and said, "Gentlemen, we don't have much time left. I need your help."
