The noisy voices were incessant within the Buddha Hall.
The Buddha Mother, who looked exactly like Chu Qingxue, sat before the statue with her hands pressed together, shaking her head indifferently.
"This Ascendant is not easy to deal with."
She looked in the direction where Li Muyang had left, her face expressionless.
"When you two sisters died at his hands, you encountered a kind of extremely terrifying thunder..."
As she spoke, the originally indifferent face of the Buddha Mother once again revealed a gentle smile. Although it was the face of a young girl, at that moment, she appeared as benevolent as an elderly woman.
"Let mother wait a little longer and see if there’s an opportunity."
"But even if we can’t get the Ascendant, having him catch the Heart-Eating Insects for us is also quite a good thing... hehe..."
The Buddha Mother smiled and slowly closed her eyes.
As she closed her eyes, the oil lamp standing beside her gradually extinguished.
The entire Buddha Hall was completely plunged into darkness, without a single light.@@@@
And after the lights went out, the girl seated in the hall, too, was without any breath of life. Sitting stiffly there, she seemed to have become a lifeless corpse.
After a prolonged silence of death, suddenly, under the pitch-black Kasaya of the Buddha Mother, voices of women, elated and excited, were heard.
"Mother is asleep..."
"That’s great! Mother has fallen asleep again!"
"Go, go, go! Let’s go out and play quickly!"
Amid the clamorous joy, under the motionless Kasaya in front of the statue, suddenly came the subtle rustling sounds.
It seemed that in the darkness, countless tendrils were crawling on the floor.
Soon, those delicate rustling sounds crawled out of the dark hall, spreading out in all directions like a plague...

The pale Flood Dragon flew swiftly through the night sky.
The Dragon Maid was very curious.
"Li Muyang, are we really just running errands for your mother-in-law? Are you not going to snatch the Glazed Fairy Sword?"
The Dragon Maid expressed her incomprehension at Li Muyang’s abrupt departure.
She didn’t believe that Li Muyang truly regarded that nefarious old woman as his mother-in-law.
Li Muyang’s departure was too decisive, unlike his usual style.
The Flood Dragon raced through the clouds in the night sky, and Li Muyang, bathed in the cold moonlight of the night sky, shook his head coldly.
"It’s not easy to snatch..."
But Li Muyang took a deep breath and leaped directly into the dark pit.
"Perhaps this pit is deeper than we imagine."
For some reason, as he stood on the edge of this pit, inhaling the cold scent in the air, he felt a faint sense of familiarity and comfort.
It was as if... he had returned home?
Bizarre.
Why did such a strange pit give him a sense of familiar comfort?
Li Muyang plunged into the pit, his body continually falling.
His vision quickly turned pitch black, with nothing visible in his surroundings.
Yet, the Flood Dragon’s powerful vision still allowed sight in the darkness.
This vast underground chasm was incredibly deep. The moonlight overhead at first appeared as a round exit, but as he fell further and further, the light from above grew smaller and smaller.
In the end, the light from the pit’s entrance shrank to the size of a grain of rice, almost out of sight.
Finally, Li Muyang saw the grey mist mentioned by the Buddha Mother.
In this dark underground world, there floated a kind of grey fog.
This fog seemed to have a certain buoyancy; Li Muyang, being in it, felt as if he had entered water and could move up and down at will.
Here, that homely sense of familiarity and comfort was even stronger.
The air was filled with a familiar cold and evil aura.
This evil aura was strikingly similar to that of the flesh-bone specters and Granny Valley at Black Cloud Fort.
Li Muyang was quite surprised—was this place a branch of Black Cloud Fort?
But just then, the fog surged, and a violent and potent evil cold aura appeared in Li Muyang’s perception.
It seemed to be a colossal creature moving through the grey mist.
As it neared, Li Muyang thought he heard sharp, piercing screams.
It was as if countless resentful ghosts were wailing in agony.
When the fog finally dispersed, a giant shadow, ten zhang tall, emerged from the grey fog.
Its body was covered in many giant, blue-haired caterpillars, appearing extremely creepy.
Even more unsettling, however, was the appearance of the shadow.
It wore the old black and grey robes of Black Cloud Fort, its face pale and expressionless, with sunken eyes leaving behind black hollows.
A huge blood-red health bar appeared above its head.
[Mad Ancient Cultivator]
—This ten-zhang-tall giant shadow was actually recognized by Li Muyang!
