This monk is only a level 4 professional, but his Buddhist magical power is profound and pure, clearly indicating that he has a high level of inheritance. His difficulty in breaking through the intermediate level barrier in the future will be much lower than that of others.

"It seems that over the past century, the nation and certain forces have managed to construct a complete system of inheritance—"

It's just that it's not easy for extraordinary powers to become widespread, and the real world was once a world where extraordinary powers were completely isolated, which is why the number of extraordinary individuals is so small.

The second sacrificial site was located in the basement. When Lin Xu arrived nearby, he discovered that the battle there had already ended.

A group of Night Watchers were cautiously surrounding a dark blue runic stone, its surface covered with mysterious symbols that resembled constellations.

The Night Watchers were trying to destroy the magic circle, but neither guns nor spells seemed to hit a phantom, passing through the circle in an instant.

"Who are you?" The lead Night Watchers looked at him warily, while the others around him raised their weapons.

"I'll destroy this magic circle." Lin Xu calmly walked into the basement. "What you're doing is useless; you must destroy the magic circle first before you can destroy the rune stone."

"You make it sound so simple, then you do it!" A young Night Watchers looked at him rudely.

Lin Xu shook the spirit lamp in his hand, and a line of fire streaked across the air, igniting the sacrificial array.

The Captain of the Night Watchers cautiously observed the magic circle. He quickly noticed that as the flames burned, the magic circle, which had been like a reflection in a pool, began to fluctuate. At one moment, accompanied by faint ripples, the magic circle was instantly consumed by the flames.

The rune stone was immediately revealed, carrying a chaotic aura that Lin Xu was familiar with.

"It's the power of an evil god!" Lin Xu's eyes lit up.

As the flames burned, the eerie blue light on the runestone flickered, purifying the wisps of evil god's power.

The Glazed Spirit Lamp shone even brighter, and new runes began to form within its translucent interior.

This runestone contains more evil god power than the previous runes. As the Glazed Fire continues to purify it, the essence of the divine power propels the spirit lamp to rapidly transform.

As the last wisp of evil god's power was purified, Lin Xu immediately felt an invisible force disturbing him, and the weakening barrier of reality slowed down its erosion.

"It actually worked?" The young Night Watchers's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "It was that simple?"

"It worked!" Lin Xu felt relieved as he looked at the completely destroyed runestone.

But at that moment, he was startled, and his vision blurred as he vaguely saw the Xuanwei Monastery in the Spirit Realm.

The barrier of reality seemed to have become weaker, and he could perceive his territory more clearly, especially those guardians who had been implanted with the Dharma Seed.

"Destroying the sacrificial array can also increase my Bond with reality?" A smile appeared on Lin Xu's face. This was the best news of the night. "Yes, this sacrificial array is directly related to the safety of Meng City. Destroying the sacrificial array is saving Meng City, so of course it can increase my Bond with this city. In this light, the invasion of the Spirit Realm is still an opportunity for me—"

Having realized this, he ignored the delighted Night Watchers squad and turned to fly towards the next node.

At this moment, the main force of the Night Watchers had already mobilized, both besieging the orcs and searching for and attempting to destroy the array nodes.

When Lin Xu arrived at the new node location, the Night Watchers were already engaged in battle with the demons at the node.

"The third sacrificial point, it seems this is not an isolated incident----" He was stunned when he saw the flashing array in the living room and the three people lying in a pool of blood.

Lin Xu stared blankly at the three people who were presented as sacrifices: two were female Night Watchers in uniform, and the other was the little girl in the pink dress.

She lay there quietly, a cut on her small body, drops of blood dripping onto the magic circle.

Her body had almost lost all its blood, and her pale face was as cold as ice.

Anger surged within him, and although a cool aura emanated from the phoenix-patterned jade, it could not extinguish his rage.

Damn cultists!

Suppressing the boiling compassion and anger within him, Lin Xu activated his Thought Overclocking mode, calmly observing the scene.

This sacrificial array was clearly just completed, meaning that while Chen Lingfeng was busy leading the Night Watchers to capture him, a new cultist had already launched a sacrificial ritual here.

"Boom~"

Flames exploded, and a demon with a blue robe, a raven-headed human body, chuckled like an owl, waving its wand and unleashing a fireball that exploded with a deafening roar.

Unlike basic spells like Fire Bullet Technique, the Fireball Spell, which can only be mastered by intermediate-level mages, is much more powerful, comparable to a 60mm mortar, capable of blasting a hole in a wall with a single shot.

The Night Watchers, battling the Tzeentch demon, dodged the fireballs in disarray. Their retaliatory bullets struck a pale blue Magic Shield and fell limply to the ground.

"Boom----"

A rocket came hurtling towards them, and a magic circle flashed beneath their feet. The demon grinned maliciously as he dodged, his figure vanishing silently from the spot.

Amidst the violent explosion, a new magic circle appeared, and the Tzeentch emerged effortlessly, pointing his wand in the direction from which the rockets had come. Several magical missiles traced shimmering arcs in the darkness.

"Careful!"

The Night's Night Watchers Captain, his entire body tensed, leaped into the air, his shield-wielding figure soaring through the air.

"Bang~"

Under the continuous impact of missiles, the figure holding the shield rolled to the ground.

"Cover me!" The Captain rolled on the ground, gritted his teeth, and charged towards the demon with his shield raised.

"Captain!" a female voice screamed.

"Quickly, provide cover fire!"

Amidst the roars of the Night Watchers and the fierce gunfire, the battlefield was in complete chaos.

Hehehe~

A sinister laugh with a hallucinatory effect echoed in the living room, while a faint blue mist distorted space and time, easily evading the Night Watchers Captain's charge.

The Night's Night Watchers warriors who attacked the Hall of Sacrifice suffered heavy losses; their attacks on the target were in vain, but supernatural magic distorted their senses.

The elite soldiers had withdrawn from the battle, leaving the battlefield to the Night Watchers's professionals. Only these warriors, who had also stepped into the realm of the extraordinary, could barely remain calm amidst the magic.

But they couldn't hold out for long; the intelligence was wrong, and the one guarding the sacrificial array before them was a mid-level demon.

Agility: 9

Physical condition: 8

Talent: [Eye of Deception - Blue] Passively perceives lies and illusions, automatically marking false outlines in the field of vision. Skills: Veil of Deception - Blue (Advanced): Weaves a web of reality with illusions, allowing the caster to distort the target's perception of reality, mistaking falsehood for truth. Whisper of Chaos - Blue (Intermediate): Each time a spell is cast, there is a 5% chance to trigger the Whisper of Chaos effect, using mental ripples to breach the dam of will, causing the target to unconditionally execute an implanted command within three seconds. Thread of Fate - Purple (Intermediate): Connects cause and effect with threads, weaving a knot of fate in the cracks of reality, allowing the caster to briefly alter a small probability of a single event. Skills: Magic Missile - Azure (Advanced), Fireball Spell - Blue (Advanced) -- Magic Labyrinth - Blue (Advanced) --

Evaluation: Unpredictable and elusive; words as sweet as honey, heart as deep as an abyss. "Dispel!" Lin Xu's expression darkened slightly, and the spirit lamp in his hand shone, dispelling the large swath of magical mist.

The Night Watchers, who was trapped in the Magic Labyrinth, finally came to his senses and became alert upon seeing Lin Xu holding the spirit lamp.

"May I ask who you are?" The leading soldier looked at Lin Xu in surprise.

"I am Lin Xu, a mid-level Daoist priest," he answered casually, his gaze sweeping across the slightly distorted spacetime in the room. "Be careful, the Changeling has torn apart the barrier to reality here with a magic array; it can travel between the Spirit Realm and reality."
