Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 300: Evil Temple Inheritance
It was already late at night when Xu Shen entered the evil temple complex.

The sky is full of bright stars, and the bright white Milky Way hangs in the sky, quiet and vast.

Groups of snakes and scorpion demons patrolled the temples in an orderly manner.

With Apas's guidance, Xu Shen did not trigger any alarms. He walked into one of the evil temples in a glazed phoenix feather robe without any sense of stealth.

The architectural styles of temples all over the world seem to be similar: majestic, oppressive and mysterious.

The same is true of this evil temple - there are exquisite and intricate murals on the walls that stretch as far as the eye can see, and there are carvings of hideous demons on the gate that is hundreds of meters high.

The gods allow offerings from any life, so the doors of the temple are not completely closed most of the time.

The two doors were slightly ajar, with a gap of about two meters in width. Cold moonlight filtered in, extending along the smooth ochre-red floor to the blurry statue sitting on the altar, adding a bit of horror and eeriness.

Following the moonlight, I walked into the silent ancient temple. There was nothing else except two rows of pillars and the statue whose face was blurred by wind erosion.

If it weren't for the Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe, Xu Shen felt that every step he took would cause several echoes in the empty hall.

"My mother is in the crystal coffin in the palm of the statue, hurry up."

Apas urged, her voice filled with urgency and excitement.

"It won't take a few minutes, just stay calm."

A few minutes later, Xu Shen climbed onto the palm of the statue.

With just one glance, he immediately sealed Apas's perception in the contract space.

The cold moon shone completely on this poor woman, revealing Sister Apas's cruelty to Xu Shen without leaving any room for ambiguity.

The woman's wisteria-colored curly hair fell down to cover her face, and her scarred limbs drooped limply. Some of the fragments of the crystal coffin were scattered on the palm of the statue, and some were deeply pierced into the body of this poor woman.

And this is not the saddest thing.

A rough stone pillar as thick as a forearm stood in the palm of the statue, entering her anus and exiting from her mouth, looking extremely terrifying.

She was like a piece of rag, hanging in this deserted place. Only the faint rise and fall of her chest could barely show that she was a living thing.

Xu Shen carefully picked out the crystal fragments, then carefully cut off the stone pillar, and applied the medicine he got from Tingting carefully on the hideous wounds.

"Bear the pain... No, maybe I can't feel the pain now."

Although the warm light element cannot replace the power of healing, it will at least not harm the body as long as it is properly controlled.

In order to prevent the poor woman from suffering secondary harm, Xu Shen carefully controlled the light element to wrap around the rough pillar and slowly pulled it out of her body.

With the special medicine made in the Parthenon, the woman's injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the healing of her injuries did not contradict her rapidly draining vitality.

Is this the price humans pay for giving birth to a demon?
Xu Shen didn't know why he thought of this. He thought for a moment, changed some decent clothes for the poor woman, and took out the Heart of Ice and Snow.

After the death of Wu Ku, this precious magic weapon welcomed its second resident.

"Asshole, let me out."

Apas's anxious voice repeated again and again.

Xu Shen jumped off the statue.

"Your mother is still alive."

His voice was gentle and calm, relieving Apas's anxiety.

Hearing the news that her mother was still alive, Apas gradually calmed down.

"But her crystal coffin was destroyed by one of your sisters. Fortunately, I happen to have a magic weapon that can seal living things. It can keep your mother's state forever at the moment of being sealed. Perhaps we can find a way to cure her in the future."

Xu Shen said as he lifted the seal on Apas.

"Thank you."

After a long silence, Apas's muffled voice sounded.

It was finally over, Xu Shen stretched lazily.

"Let's go back to Cairo and have a good sleep. This is the life people should live."

"Wait a minute," Apas suddenly asked, "Are you just leaving like this?"

"if not?"

"If you come to this evil temple and return empty-handed, then isn't it a waste of time?"

"It's good enough that you can rescue your mother. Why do you need a bicycle?"

After the previous lesson at Tianshan, Xu Shen was extremely sensitive in this regard, fearing that something unexpected would happen. "The Queen Mother's thousand-year-old collection is in the evil temple next door, don't you want it?"

Xu Shen was stunned, and his mental power probed into the contract space.

Apas smiled grimly, and even through the layer of blood film Xu Shen could see the murderous hatred in her golden-pink eyes.

Like a paranoid and pitiful little beast.

"You...you saw everything?"

"Are you doubting the eyes of the Medusa clan?"

At this moment, Apas was sinister and cold-blooded, looking no different from a poisoned hunter.

Xu Shen moved his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Anyone who saw this scene would go crazy. The fact that Apas was able to control her emotions and talk to him showed her great willpower.

I can't bring myself to say the words of comfort, after all, this world has never felt the same way as I do.

Only by following Apas's wishes and making her heartless sister angry and unhappy can she get some comfort from the endless revenge.

Following Apas's guidance, Xu Shen came to another evil temple.

Unlike the previous one which was bleak, this one was obviously more lively.

The hall is paved with luxurious goose down, so you won't feel cold even if you walk on it barefoot.

There are hundreds of well-trained snake and scorpion fighters standing guard between the stone pillars on both sides of the temple.

The statue enshrined in the temple is long gone, and what is there now is an enormous throne.

"Humph, idiot!"

Apas's disdainful voice came out.

"Ok?"

"There are eight such evil temples, enshrining the four good souls of loyalty, justice, righteousness, and perseverance, and the four evil souls of madness, greed, jealousy, and hatred. These four good and four evil souls represent the inheritance of the evil god."

"what?!"

Xu Shen's head was buzzing.

Evil God?

God's inheritance?

Isn't this really just some legendary story?

But from Apas's tone, it was obviously true.

"How do you know such a secret?"

At this moment, Apas seemed to have given up completely and revealed all her secrets to Xu Shen without hesitation.

"Many people know that the first Queen Mother Medusa was a human being, but few people know that the first Queen Mother Medusa was also the Evil Saint King, one of the eight dark kings of the dark plane."

"!!!"

What Xu Shen felt right now was shock, extreme shock.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

The contemporary queen mother Medusa is just a sub-emperor. Xu Shen alone knows three or four people in Africa who are stronger than her. How can she occupy such a Feng Shui treasure land as the evil temple group?

If it is because the ancestors were wealthy, it would be reasonable.

"That fool Trixina dared to push down the statue. She will never be able to inherit the legacy of the Evil Saint King in this lifetime."

Apas smiled morbidly, which made Xu Shen feel cold all over.

I will find a psychologist for this little girl when we return to China.

"We are very lucky. Trixina is not here. The Queen Mother left many treasures here. Let's act quickly."

"Do you think they are just for decoration?"

Xu Shen pointed at the menacing snakes, scorpions and monsters lining up on both sides of the hall.

Any secret treasure will definitely have a seal or mark left by its owner, and moving it will inevitably attract the attention of these monsters.

It is true that the Glazed Phoenix Feather Robe can block auras, but that doesn't mean he can steal things blatantly without being discovered!
