Chapter 149: The Triple-Enhanced Jiaoslayer!
The massive plaque above the temple gate had long since faded, and the characters eroded away, so much so that it was impossible to tell what had once been written there.
Within the temple stood a towering tree, and its gnarled, twisted trunk evoked a deep sense of unease. It wasn’t until Li Yanchu approached that he realized that the things hanging from the branches weren’t prayer tags or wooden amulets. They were flayed and skinned desiccated corpses hung in terrifying density.
Just a casual glance revealed three to four hundred of them, which was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine. It wasn’t just the overpowering yin qi; the sheer horror of the scene was enough to send a chill down one's spine.
Bang!
The temple gates slammed shut on their own without the faintest breeze. Hearing this, Li Yanchu turned and glanced back at the sealed doors.
After a moment of silence, he resumed his pace, walking deeper into the temple. Soon, he arrived at the main hall of the grand temple. At its center stood a familiar statue: Lady Qingyi.
But unlike her usual serene and dignified image, this one bore a face of resentment and malice. Her expression was dark and twisted, and her eyes were filled with obsession and madness.
As Li Yanchu stepped into the hall, he suddenly began to hear a strange sound. It was faint and unclear, and the more he tried to focus on it, the harder it became to discern.
Only when he drew near the statue did the whispers grow clearer.
“Save me... save me...”
“Save me... save me...”
Li Yanchu’s gaze darkened as he stared at the statue.
