Seeing this, he no longer hesitated. A second before the statue closed, he flashed into the air, transforming into a gentle breeze, and stepped into the main hall, following that figure into the deep passage.
Upon entering, what was previously seen as soil beneath the Taoist temple using super vision turned out to be an extremely spacious underground chamber at the end of the passage, entirely constructed of stone bricks engraved with runes.
The little boy who had just come in was slowly walking towards the depths of the passage, carrying a wooden box in his hand.
Luo Wei followed closely behind, using super stealth to reduce his presence. Even if he was only half a meter behind Xiao Tong, the other party would not notice him at all.
"Master, the pills you requested have arrived."
The boy entered the underground chamber, opened the wooden box, took out a white porcelain bowl containing black balls, knelt on the ground, raised the white porcelain bowl, and said with his head down.
"Disciple, why did you bring outsiders in?"
From the deepest part of the secret room, in the pitch-black area, came a low, hoarse voice.
"Master, please don't scare me. Even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare bring any outsiders in."
Upon hearing this, the child trembled all over, his head pressed tightly to the ground as he spoke.
"Superman is behind you."
Chi Hun's voice came again.
"what?"
As soon as the child turned around, a hand landed directly on his shoulder from behind, startling him so much that he immediately knelt down and didn't dare to move an inch. For a moment, the air in the secret room seemed to freeze.
"Chi Hun, why hide? Come out."
Luo Wei gazed into the darkness. He could clearly sense that there was no one there, but there was indeed the aura of Chi Hun in the secret chamber. As he spoke, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"Haha, Superman, you are truly unruly, but unfortunately, too foolish. Don't you think it's far too easy for you to enter the Taoist temple?"
A cloud of black mist emerged, forming a hideous ghost face that opened and closed its mouth to reveal terrifying fangs as it spoke.
"Master, save me."
When the boy saw his master appear, he immediately tried to get up, but found that it was as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down on him, and he couldn't move an inch.
"You set up a formation here?"
Luo Wei scanned his surroundings and noticed that, without his notice, a strange black aura began to permeate the area and was constantly converging towards his location, while strange runes appeared in the area it covered.
"Clever. With Chiyo's death, I knew you would come to Japan and eventually seek out the Jing Si Taoist Temple. So I set up an array in the secret chamber beforehand. I was originally thinking about how to get you in, but unexpectedly, you came in on your own, saving me the trouble..."
You've put in a lot of effort.
Chi Hun's soul, shrouded in black mist, hovered in mid-air, speaking smugly.
Indeed, after Chiyo Ren's death, Chi Hun guessed that Superman would definitely come to deal with him, so he set up a formation. However, he did not expect Superman to fall into the trap so easily. In addition, there was another thing that surprised Chi Hun, that is, Superman actually transformed into Chiyo Ren, confusing everyone, and even almost deceived Chi Hun. If he had not discovered that Chiyo Ren's aura had been extinguished, he would have been deceived by Superman.
"You really are a spirit that escaped from the underworld. Even the runes in the formation are similar to those in the underworld."
Luo Wei observed the runes that appeared in the secret chamber, which were similar to those he had seen in the underworld, even the layout patterns were very similar.
It seems that before Chi Hun escaped from the underworld, he spent a lot of time secretly studying there.
"Heh, it seems you've already been to the underworld. Does Yama want you to bring me back to the underworld?"
Chi Hun's voice came from within the black mist, his tone full of disdain for the underworld.
Luo Wei wasn't surprised. After all, the underworld had been searching for Chi Hun for over a hundred years without any results, so it was normal to be looked down upon. "Even if it wasn't Yama, I would still come looking for you. You've killed so many innocent people, and you should pay the price for it."
"If you want to catch me, you'll have to escape from this formation first."
Chi Hun's dismissive words echoed from within the black mist: "I forgot to mention, if you stay in the formation for ten hours, even the most determined person will become a walking corpse with only a physical body."
Whoosh!
Just as Chi Hun finished speaking, two crimson beams of light shot out, striking the black mist. The heat vision pierced through and hit the ceiling, causing a violent tremor.
The beam of light came from Luo Wei, who was looking up, his eyes glowing red, white smoke billowing from the corners of his eyes, and he slowly said, "Your true form is not here."
"nature."
Chi Hun looked smug and chuckled a few times. "Good disciple, you stay here with Superman for ten hours. Your master is leaving now!"
"Master, don't leave me behind!"
The child cried and screamed, but in the end he could only watch helplessly as the black mist dissipated, leaving only him and Superman behind.
"Don't waste your time. In Chi Hun's eyes, you are nothing more than a grain of sand, which can be discarded at any time and a new grain can be found at any time."
After Luo Wei finished speaking, he ignored the crying child and turned around to start thinking about the formation. He tried to rush out at super speed, but it was as if an invisible force, like a jelly barrier, bounced him back. He punched the wall with all his might, but it was the same; the wall was like jelly that he couldn't break.
"Spells are just as troublesome as magic."
Luo Wei frowned. If he had to say what he least wanted to encounter at this stage, it would naturally be warlocks and mages, because sometimes brute force alone was simply not enough to solve the troubles they caused.
The formation set up by Chi Hun is the best example of this.
He always preferred to use super strength and super speed, which were completely ineffective within the formation.
"Phew, these runes, similar to those in the underworld, also have their own rules."
After several unsuccessful attempts, Luo Wei had no choice but to calm down and sit down to observe the runes displayed by the formation. His super brain kept recalling the runes he had seen in the underworld, trying to find a breakthrough.
About half an hour later, the little child next to me stopped sobbing.
He sat there alone, lost in thought. Perhaps feeling like he was about to die, he muttered to himself as he ate the pill he had given to his master. However, the medicine was too strong, and it took him a long time to recover his normal appearance with a flushed face.
"Superman, don't bother trying. No one can break Master's formation."
The child spoke broken Chinese with a strong colonel accent.
Luo Wei ignored him and had no intention of killing him. Not everyone in the Jing Si Taoist Temple was guilty; some were coerced, and the boy in front of him was no exception. He showed no signs of having cultivated.
Thinking it over, Luo Wei continued to observe the array runes. Perhaps because he had been looking at them for so long, he seemed to understand the meaning of some of the runes and the reason why they were placed in that position.
"Tch, sigh, I should have escaped sooner and not stayed in the Taoist temple."
When the boy saw that he ignored him, he started talking to himself.
“So that’s how it is”
Suddenly, Luo Wei, who was beside him, became excited, as if he had discovered a new continent. With a smile on his face, he began to use his fingers to carve runes on the floor.
The hard floor, against a body of steel and super strength, was like a block of tofu, easily carving a string of runes into it.
"What are you doing?"
The child asked, glancing at the runes on the ground. They seemed familiar, so he looked at the runes on his master's formation and realized that Superman had rearranged them.
He said speechlessly, "It's no use. Only Master can understand the runes. Don't think you can break the formation by randomly messing them up."
However, Luo Wei ignored him, so he stopped talking and sat alone to the side, eating the remaining half of the pill, muttering to himself, quietly waiting for death to come.
In the wooden house deep in the secluded forest behind the Jingsi Taoist Temple, the walls were covered with talisman plaques. It was these that blocked Luo Wei's super vision, preventing him from noticing that there was a wooden house in the back mountain. At this moment, Chi Hun was sitting cross-legged in the wooden house. He slowly opened his eyes and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"Superman, with a body of steel? He'll probably just be an empty shell by then."
Chi Hun sneered. In fact, he knew more about Superman than anyone else, because he had learned about Superman's existence from Ox-Head and Horse-Face in the underworld. Every universe has a Superman, and the Supermen in every universe are exceptionally talented. The vast majority of them represent justice, hope, and the future.
Their souls are purer than anyone else's.
And the physical body is even more perfect.
Chi Hun had long set his sights on Superman and made him his target for a physical body. He wanted to possess Superman's steel body, as a good body would greatly increase his cultivation strength. In addition, Superman's soul was a rare and precious object for cultivation.
In order to obtain Superman, he did not hesitate to use Chiyo as bait to lure Superman into a trap, because he had long known that Chiyo was no match for Superman, and things turned out exactly as he had predicted.
And it is developing in accordance with its own plans.
"Master, we are missing a disciple."
The voices of disciples could be heard outside the door.
"I understand, you may leave."
Chi Hun paid no attention. The Taoist disciples were like sand and stones scattered all over the ground. Every year, foolish Japanese people would run to Mount Luoni Yue to become disciples. By the time they discovered the darkness of the Taoist temple and wanted to leave, it was too late, because all their souls were held in Chi Hun's hands.
Boom!
But at this moment.
A violent tremor came from the direction of the main hall of the temple, as if a major earthquake had occurred. Even the wooden house where Chi Hun was located shook violently, and layers of debris fell off the ceiling. The candles lit on the table also fell over and went out.
Chi Hun frowned, suddenly stood up, and looked towards the dojo. "What's going on?!"

Chi Hun felt a violent tremor, pushed open the door to the disciple outside, immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Master, the noise came from under the main hall. Could it be from your secret chamber?"
"Come with me to take a look."
Chi Hun flicked his sleeve and leaped over the wall, carrying his disciple towards the main hall. At this time, many Daoist boys and disciples had gathered outside the main hall. Everyone's face was solemn. Most of them knew that something was hidden in the main hall. If something happened to the main hall, their master would probably hold them accountable.
The main hall trembled violently a few times, but now it has fallen silent and returned to calm. The dust falling from the eaves tells them that there was indeed a tremor, and the cracks on the stone statues facing the door also prove this.
"Master."
"Master."
"Master."
When everyone saw Chi Hun arrive, they all bowed their heads in worship, their foreheads covered in cold sweat. To outsiders, this master was highly respected and revered, but within the Taoist temple, no one was without fear—not reverence, but dread.
"Flat body."
Chi Hun landed in front of the main hall, examined the stone statues for a moment, then opened his palm and runes appeared. He muttered to himself, "The formation is not abnormal at all. Was I overthinking it?"
Feeling uneasy, he checked the inside of the formation again and found that Superman and the Taoist boy were still sitting inside the formation, without moving at all. The two of them were just sitting there quietly.
The formation continued to operate normally, and within ten hours, the souls of any living being within the formation would be annihilated, turning them into walking corpses with only physical bodies.
"It must be that Superman tried to break the formation with brute force, which caused the tremor."
Chi Hun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to his disciples, "You may all leave. There is nothing wrong in the main hall."
“Master, there is a group of people coming towards the Taoist temple from the foot of the mountain. They are fully armed and do not look like good people.”
Just as the disciples were about to disperse, the gatekeeper rushed in, panting, and kept pointing outside the gate.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. For many years, whenever the Taoist temple was closed, almost no one would go up the mountain. This was an unspoken rule of Mount Luoni Yue: going up the mountain at night and disturbing the gods of the temple would bring divine retribution. As a result, Mount Luoni Yue was incredibly quiet and peaceful after nightfall, as if it were a secluded paradise.
"Trouble has arisen again."
