Chapter 186 - Worthy of the S

“Once the Temple Demon appears in the Black Fog Swamp, it means the two swamps have begun to merge and are on the verge of expanding. The danger level is so high that even Diamond Practitioners will perish!”

Song Shu gritted his teeth andclenched his fists.

There was a hint of grievance and unwillingness in his tone.

“Next, we only have two choices. First, to return the way we came; second, to enter the temple. There will be demons in the temple, and there will be so-called Gods. Generally speaking, the Gods in the temple will ask you to burn three incense sticks and offer your faith. As for whether you can make it through after burning the incense, it will depend on whether your life is tough enough.

“Some experts can leave the temple after losing an arm. Some experts will be trapped in the temple forever…”

Song Shu’s voice became terrified.

“I still decided to go back to Li City.

“My life… Sigh.”

After saying that, Song Shu brought his four trusted Golden Practitioners and returned along the same path.

He was planning to give up.

After all, no one wanted to hand their lives to the evil demon.

After Song Shu left, the other Gold Practitioners looked at each other.

In the end, forty-two Gold Practitioners and more than nine hundred Silver Practitioners stepped onto the journey back to Li City.

In front of the looming temple, only Lin Qiye, Chen Fan, Jiang Qingxue, Jiang Nian, ten Gold Practitioners, and six Silver Practitioners remained standing.

“Master Lin Qiye, if you have a way to defeat the neck-twisting demon, you must have a way to get past the Temple Demon, right? We believe in you!”

The six Silver Practitioners were mysteriously confident in Lin Qiye.

The rest of the Gold Practitioners looked at each other in dismay.

“Lin Qiye, do you have a way? We don’t want to go back. If we go back, we will face the nest of Diamond Level demons. In short, we are all going to die. We don’t want to give up when we have a chance to go to Star City. Lin Qiye, think of a way! We’ll follow you!”

Unknowingly, Lin Qiye became the core of this group.

Even Jiang Qingxue and Jiang Nian stared at Lin Qiye.

“Do you have any ideas?”

Lin Qiye didn’t say anything.

Instead, he silently activated the Deduction of Genesis.

[This deduction will consume 100,000 movement points, leaving 2.29 million points after consumption.]

[Deduction successful: Barge into the temple, burn three incense sticks for the Temple Demon, offer your faith, and you could destroy the Temple Demon!]

[Remember: You must go first. The others cannot burn the incense sticks.]

Seeing the result, Lin Qiye was a little surprised.

Just like this?

What was the principle?

Lin Qiye thought seriously.

But after thinking for a long time, he didn’t know why, so he could only shake his head.

“Let’s go. Follow me in.”

“Brother Ye, do you have an idea? Do you want to go in directly? Didn’t they say that even Diamond Practitioners would fall in this Temple Demon’s hands?”

Lin Qiye’s expression was calm.

“I don’t know if it will be of any use. I can only try.”

Upon hearing that, the expressions of the ten Gold Practitioners changed drastically.

“You’re charging in with no confidence?”

“Then we’d better go back the same way we came!”

The Gold Practitioners looked doubtful.

Although Lin Qiye’s methods and thoughts of restraining the neck-twisting demon were stunning, they did not dare to gamble their lives with Lin Qiye while facing the more ferocious Temple Demon.

They were even more afraid when Lin Qiye was unconfident.

Regarding this, Lin Qiye smiled lightly.

He looked around at the remaining dozen or so people.

“If you are willing to follow me, follow me. If you are unwilling to follow me, I won’t force you. I am not a God. How can I guarantee everything?”

As he finished his words, the ten Gold Practitioners looked at each other in dismay.

In the end, they gritted their teeth and turned to leave.

“Let’s return to Li City. If we stay in Li City, we might wait for reinforcements from the Diamond Practitioners. If we follow this fellow and break into the temple, we will die on the spot!”

“Yes, there is still a chance of survival if we return to Li City. If we enter the temple, we will die!”

Amidst the discussion, only Lin Qiye, Chen Fan, Jiang Nian, and Jiang Qingxue stayed in place.

The ten Gold and Silver Practitioners walked back the same way they came.

“What about the two of you? What do you want to do?”

Jiang Nian smiled faintly, and her eyes shone brightly.

“Of course, I want to follow you, little brother. Let’s see if you have any good ideas.”

Lin Qiye shook his head.

“What if I die?”

“That’s not on you. It’s because the Diamond Level demonic lair suddenly descended.”

Jiang Nian giggled.

She was quite confident in Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye glanced at Jiang Nian.

He slowly walked towards the entrance of the temple.

“Then let’s go in and try it out. Let’s see if my method will work!”

As he spoke, Lin Qiye’s imposing manner suddenly condensed, giving off a heroic feeling.
