The demon god's soul trembled and vanished completely.
Jiang Nuo removed Si Yan's body and returned her soul to its place.
All members of the Supreme Bureau who were intently watching the live broadcast breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, their understanding of Jiang Nuo's strength has also increased considerably.
With spiritual energy dwindling, Hua Country hasn't produced such a powerful figure for many years.
Si Yan gradually revived. Even though Mikazuki Shunsuke still wanted to stop it, he no longer had the courage. The tomb chamber with the stone statues suddenly shook, and many fragments on the statues broke, as if they would revive and return to the world in the next second.
Jiang Nuo glanced at it a few times, then tried to seal it with a barrier, but couldn't.
" Nuonuo."
When Si Yan woke up, she was still a little dazed. She looked around in surprise. She had no memory of her soul leaving her body, but she was relieved to see Jiang Nuo by her side.
He tried to hug her, but as soon as he turned around, Jiang Nuo pulled him into her arms and embraced him tightly.
Si Yan could roughly guess that the coldness in his body and the instability of his soul must have been caused by the shock of Demonic Qi after he fell into the cave.
Jiang Nuo was frightened.
He gently patted Jiang Nuo's back, his tone gentle but tinged with sadness, "I've made you worry again..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Nuo didn't hesitate to cup his face and give him a quick kiss, then put on a smiling expression again, "Just killed a demon along the way."
Are you feeling unwell?
Si Yan shook her head and hugged the person even tighter.
"I want to be held, but I'm a little scared."
[Waaaaah! I knew God Nuo was the best!]
[I'm tired of saying Yan Nuo love you forever, you really do love each other!!]
"Who's crying and laughing? It's me... Seriously, are all these stone statues going to come out? This town can't possibly hold them all."
The stone statue is still shaking.
Si Yan turned to look at the stone statues, pursed her lips, and said, "When I fell into the cave, I saw... a huge phantom, not the one from before."
"Perhaps it is the mastermind behind forcing the town to become like this."
He saw something else, but mindful that Mikazuki Shunsuke was still there, he didn't say anything.
Mikazuki Shunsuke pretended not to see them and went inside to investigate on his own.
Each stone statue represents a demon from hell.
Mikazuki Shunsuke clearly knew a lot about this, and his tone was much better than before, seemingly to prove to Jiang Nuo that he was still useful.
Si Yan found it puzzling and gave him several strange looks, but ultimately, business was more important, so she didn't say anything.
Jiang Nuo asked, "What else do you know?"
He smiled faintly as he gazed at Mikazuki Shunsuke, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you."
"Messenger."
Mikazuki Shunsuke pointed to the cloak scattered on the ground. After the demon god dissipated, the original messenger had turned into an old man's skin.
"No matter which demon god it is, they need a physical body to return to the mortal realm. The better the body, the stronger their abilities will be."
"One messenger corresponds to one demon god."
Jiang Nuo touched her left eye. "Then who was that person who came out just now...?"
Mikazuki Shunsuke: "A gigantic body with a snake tail; it might be Andromalius, the last demon god."
How many are there in total?
Si Yan said helplessly, "If it really is them, then there are 72 of them."
After he finished speaking, he recalled the figure he had seen, but he still couldn't connect it with the first demon god Bael.
Jiang Nuo: "..."
He laughed in exasperation.
That means there are still 71 more to kill.
"The church is the altar of sacrifice, the townspeople are the offerings, and a messenger must be chosen from among them to serve as the physical body."
Jiang Nuo clicked her tongue in disbelief, "What a mess! Such a massive plan, there's probably more than one person behind it."
Si Yan guessed, "If tomorrow's town rules are related to sea plants, then the underlying purpose, besides resurrecting the demon god, is to control the townspeople who worship Jesus."
Jiang Nuo didn't understand these ghost and god legends from the real world. Holding Si Yan, she looked at him with a puzzled expression and tilted her head.
Si Yan was charmed by his cuteness, leaned over and kissed him, then explained gently.
The Christian Old Testament states that God created the world in six days: on the first day, He created light; on the second day, He created air; and on the third day, He created the earth, the sea, and the plants on it.
"The town is shrouded in darkness on Mondays, and today they're making us wear masks that are suffocating enough to cut off the air... it all makes sense."
So, does that mean they ate blood at every meal? And not eating blood seems to be a Christianity taboo!
No wonder this town looks so... strange?
Holy crap, are they going to fight against God?! How exciting!
After listening, Jiang Nuo pondered, "What role does that little elf play in the plan, and what about that... Divine Tree that only you can see?"
"When the Divine Tree disappeared, I imbued it with Spiritual Power; it should be able to track it down."
The two worked together to seal the bell tower statue once more; the seal was very secure, surrounded by purple aura.
Jiang Nuo still felt it wasn't safe enough, so he took out a whole bunch of treasures, using everything that could be used to reinforce the seal, just to avoid having to fight 71 demons if the town couldn't be saved.
Let him work himself to death.
When leaving, Mikazuki Shunsuke still tried to minimize his presence. He forgot all about capturing Si Yan to nourish his consciousness and cooperating with the Demon God to kill Jiang Nuo and obtain a body after seeing Jiang Nuo's strength.
We can't win, we simply can't win!
But the two people holding hands in front of him didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Si Yan still sensed that Jiang Nuo was not relaxed and seemed to still be shaken.
He stopped at the top of the stairs, wrapped his arms around Jiang Nuo's waist, leaned down to kiss and nuzzle her, his breath rising and falling, his phoenix eyes filled with affection, " Nuonuo, I want a kiss."
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow, thinking Si Yan was scared, "We'll talk about it when we get back..."
Before she could finish speaking, Si Yan had already captured her lips, their lips and teeth locked in a passionate embrace.
As if her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, had finally settled, Jiang Nuo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly relaxed her tense body, nestling in Si Yan's arms.
Jiang Nuo, who could have single-handedly defeated the Demon God just moments ago, was now incredibly quiet, even displaying a degree of docility.
Mikazuki Shunsuke: "..."
Even though I deliberately tried to keep a low profile, you don't have to treat me like I'm not even human!
He frowned deeply, filled with regret for participating in the competition.
Whether or not to kill Si Yan, and whether or not it is even possible to kill him, is currently unknown.
A short while later, Jiang Nuo nudged Si Yan's shoulder, her clear voice slightly hoarse, and the hazy look in her eyes gradually faded.
Okay.
Si Yan kissed his cheek again before reluctantly letting go, her arms still wrapped around his waist.
They stumbled upon Half-Corpse Soul at the foot of the church.
To be precise, it was Half-Corpse Soul dragging along a half-dead body.
" Sano!"
Mikazuki Shunsuke was shocked. Not only had he failed to kill Si Yan today, but he had also failed to achieve Sano Kurotsuki's plan!
Did he actually find the Dragon Vein?
The Half-Corpse Soul threw the person to the ground and asked Jiang Nuo, "Should we kill him?"
