NOVPUBWatching Tian Lin take out the water white paper, Elder Ran was stunned and said, "Tian, could you really invoke Divine Power?"
Senior Brother Changxue also looked at Tian Lin, his expression filled with surprise and doubt.
Tian Lin had heard of invoking Divine Power, but he really did not know how to do it.
Thinking it over, Tian Lin spread out the water white paper and drew the likeness of Elder Yu from memory.
However, it was clear that the portrait had no effect; it was merely a simple drawing.
Not discouraged, Tian Lin took out another piece of paper and proceeded to draw the likeness of Nine-Life True Man.
Whether carving Array Patterns or writing runes, Tian Lin's skill in drawing was perfectly mastered.
With his final stroke, the Nine-Life True Man in the drawing suddenly came to life.
She glanced at Tian Lin and said coldly, "Out of respect for your master, I spared your life. How dare you draw me?"
Tian Lin actually did not want to draw Nine-Life True Man, but as he had mentioned before.
Once either Lady of Fertility or Lady Qian decides the outcome, by then it would be too late to save himself, and death was certain.
"With all due respect, I beseech you to rid us of the Evil Spirits," said Tian Lin, giving a deep bow to the painting. He knew Nine-Life True Man had slain countless Evil Spirits and would not side with them.
Indeed, the painting on the wall began to float up.
A streak of Sword Qi flew out from the paper, slashing through the palanquins of both Lady Qian and Lady of Fertility.
The palanquins shattered, revealing two figures that looked both like stone statues and had human-like skin.
Lady Qian still bore a woman's visage, but it was vastly different from the Lady Qian Tian Lin had seen in his dreams.
Her abdomen was swollen, clearly carrying a ghost fetus, a deed of Lady of Fertility.
Lady of Fertility was also in a dire state, her body covered with faces that bore teeth and were gnawing at her.
Both Evil Gods opened their eyes, looking towards Nine-Life True Man.
At that moment, Nine-Life True Man was still just a painting; her actual self had not come along. So, how much power could she really exert?
But Nine-Life True Man didn't seem to realize she was just a painting; furiously, she saw the two Evil Gods daring to glare at her and roared:
"You two are nurtured by fools and dimwits. How dare you offend me?"
She sneered, "You steal the rules of Conception Guanyin, intending to usurp her divine authority. Well, I shall send you to meet Conception Guanyin."
Lady of Fertility quickly turned her eyes, and a horde of ghost babies flew towards Nine-Life True Man. She seized the moment to turn and flee.
Thinking she was a stone sculpture, usually firmly seated on the divine platform for a thousand years, she now moved her legs and dashed out of Yu Family Village at incredible speed.
Elder Ran and the others were overjoyed, saying, "The array was broken by this Evil God."
However, Senior Brother Changxue exclaimed, "Not good, what about our junior sisters if this villain escapes?"
No sooner had he spoken, Nine-Life True Man drew her sword through the void, creating a massive hole in the sky and earth.
As the hole healed, a bleak aura still emanated from it.
Following the hole, Tian Lin saw the meteorites inside and various strange creatures moving between them.
With a start, he said, "This is the void during transmission."
Indeed, familiar demonic voices, Sanskrit chants, and spectral whispers arose from the hole.
Then at the hole, a surge of golden light shot up, illuminating the fleeing Lady of Fertility.
Lady of Fertility turned to look back, her face turning pale. Her body shuddered, and masses of ghost babies, like lice, fell from her and rushed towards the golden light in the hole, while she herself attempted to burrow into the ground to escape.
"Amidst the Buddha," a feminine voice in the golden light said unhurriedly, "You became a god nourished by mortals, yet you used mortals to foster ghost fetuses for your own enlightenment. All these sins upon you, how can you be human in your next life?"
"Come back?" she said, as a hand as pure as jade stretched out from the golden light.
The hand gently grasped, and Lady of Fertility, who had already burrowed into the ground, burst forth from the earth.
Her body involuntarily flew backwards, knowing she could not escape, she suddenly spoke:
"You are Conception Guanyin, and I am also Lady of Fertility. Why can you do what I cannot?"
After she spoke, the jade hand suddenly squeezed, and Lady of Fertility's body exploded.
Globes of golden light fell to the ground as the hand retracted back into the void.
As the hole in the void healed, the golden light, along with the chants and demonic voices, disappeared, and the world returned to normal.
As Lady of Fertility completely perished, Lady Qian had also already planned to escape.
But how could Nine-Life True Man, such a petty person, let Lady Qian escape?
Initially, Tian Lin just intruded into the tomb of Nine-Life True Man and glanced at her once more.
Nine-Life True Man had chased him to Yulong Continent, and due to Elder Yu, she did not kill Tian Lin.
But what backing does Lady Qian have?
He was directly split in half by a sword strike from Nine-Life True Man's Sword Qi, causing tens of thousands of human skins to flutter and fall.
Inside that stone statue, rotten flesh flew wildly, and a turbid aura instantly filled the entire Yu Family Village.
Especially from within the rotten flesh, a blood-colored monk's head rolled out.
Tian Lin and Elder Ran were both startled; they certainly recognized the head of this monk—it was indeed from the monk in the dream, the one from the temple who had turned Zhang Sheng's sister into Lady Qianshi for the people of the 'Yu Family Village.'
As several people looked at the monk, the water white paper carrying the image of the Nine-Life True Man finally couldn't withstand the power of the Nine-Life True Man.
The water white paper spontaneously ignited, and the Nine-Life True Man, amidst the flames, turned to Tian Lin and said, "If you bother me again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Tian Lin bowed deeply, watching as Nine-Life True Man disappeared.
When he stood up, Elder Ran, Zhou Jin, and the others all looked towards Tian Lin.
Their gazes were somewhat odd, but Tian Lin couldn't bother about these.
He looked at the lights approaching from the sky and said, "The people from Xiangxi Sect might have been alerted; they have taken what the Conception Guanyin left behind."
Thinking of Xiangxi Sect, Tian Lin hurriedly turned his head towards Elder Fang.
According to Elder Ran, this Elder Fang was impersonating the Silent Monk.
Tian Lin now couldn't be sure of Elder Ran's judgment, but before the dust had settled, he already treated Elder Fang as though he were the Silent Monk.
He saw 'Elder Fang' and Elder Gao getting up one after another; Elder Gao went straight towards the place where Lady of Fertility had fallen, while 'Elder Fang' decisively approached the corpse of Lady Qian.
He swept his Storage Bag, and those pieces of rotten flesh and corpses were instantly stored inside.
Then he stomped his right foot, and the monk's head from the temple instantly shattered; a bean-sized stone emitting a golden light fell out.
"It's a Shariputra."
Senior Brother Changxue said, unable to hide his envy: "The Shariputra is the Merit Pill for Buddhist Disciples, as well as the Taoist Pill.
Unfortunately, Elder Gao pursued the distant while ignoring the near, perhaps he will not get to retrieve the body of the Conception Guanyin, nor the belongings of Lady Qianshi, all to the benefit of Elder Fang."
At that moment, several beams of light approached Yu Family Village; seeing that Elder Fang was about to run, Tian Lin immediately shouted, "Silent Monk, where are you running?"
With those words, the speed at which Elder Fang fled increased; Tian Lin immediately shouted:
"Elders from Xiangxi Sect, the Silent Monk has impersonated Elder Fang and killed over a thousand people of Yu Family Village, the elders of Xiangxi Sect must not let him escape."
The lights that were about to land at the Goddess Temple in Yu Family Village chased after Elder Fang once again.
At this time, Senior Brother Changxue turned to Tian Lin and said, "Elder Fang was impersonating? Then, what about the decree for us from the sect to undergo trials in Yu Family Village?"
"We'll need to ask Elder Gao; perhaps Elder Gao was also deceived, or maybe—"
While Tian Lin was speaking, a baby's cry suddenly resounded from the east, changing the expressions of everyone present.
Senior Brother Changxue and Zhou Jin wasted no words and immediately flew towards the remaining disciples using Sword Control.
Tian Lin glanced at the courtyard of the Goddess Temple; those ghost babies and such, after the appearance of golden light within the spatial void, had already been taken by the Conception Guanyin inside the void.
There was no longer any value in staying here; Tian Lin also followed Senior Brother Changxue and Zhou Jin flying towards the distance.
Outside the array where Zhou Mengjiao and the others were, the Undead, due to the death of Lady Qianshi, had lost control.
They had been attacking the Array relentlessly and were now scattered everywhere.
After Senior Brother Changxue and Zhou Jin flew several of the Undead, they quickly entered the Array.
Dressed in mourning clothes, Tian Lin and Elder Ran passed through without any obstacles.
Almost right after Senior Brother Changxue and Zhou Jin entered the Array, Tian Lin and Elder Ran followed closely behind.
The few of them looked towards the female students inside the Array; although Zhou Mengjiao's belly was hugely swollen, it didn't seem to greatly hinder her.
Clearly, Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
But their expressions drastically changed when they looked at a female student's corpse next to them, and inside the corpse was a baby.
The ghost fetus was about to be born.
"My fellow disciples, why not use Daoist methods to stabilize the ghost fetuses inside the sisters' wombs, delaying their birth?"
Senior Brother Changxue spoke and immediately went to one female disciple, placing his palm directly on her shoulder.
However, his action was already too late; the female disciple's stomach burst open, and three ghost babies crawled out.
Noticing the danger, the three ghost babies scrambled on their hands and feet towards the outside of the Array.
Senior Brother Changxue was immediately enraged, and with a raise of his hand, he killed one ghost baby.
Seeing Senior Brother Changxue about to kill the remaining two ghost babies, the female disciple hurriedly shouted, "Senior Brother, stop, they are also lives."
Senior Brother Changxue paused, really stopping, looking sympathetically at the dying female student.
As Senior Brother Changxue fell into a momentary daze, the other disciples did not hesitate.
A male disciple stepped forward and blasted the two ghost babies from the air.
He looked at the female disciple beside Senior Brother Changxue and coldly said, "If these two lives are not eliminated, how many lives will they claim in the future?
Junior Sister, I think you've been bewitched by motherhood, forgetting your identity as a disciple of the immortal gate."
