The Mysterious Immortal, the Everlasting Lamp

Knock knock knock~~~

A knock on the door abruptly interrupted Lu Wenze's focused cultivation.

The sudden noise startled him from his cultivation state, and the Dao energy circulating within his body almost went awry. Fortunately, Lu Wenze's unique dual-soul unity gave him strong enough control over the Dao energy within his body.

Knock knock knock~~

The knocking continues.

With each knock on the door, Lu Wenze's heart pounded violently, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

He was able to remain calm and unperturbed by the knocking last night because he was simply following a rule and didn't know what would happen if he broke it.

The horrific scene of my fourth senior brother's death flashed through my mind.

Lu Wenze's breathing became erratic.

"Who?"

Lu Wenze mustered his courage and shouted towards the main entrance of the hall.

The buildings in the Taoist temple are all one-bedroom, one-living room structures, with a curtain separating the hall.

The sound echoed in the room.

There was no response from the person knocking on the door.

Knock knock knock~~

This is making my life miserable.

Once Lu Wenze calmed down, he mentally complained.

He got out of bed, put on his shoes, and sat in the armchair directly opposite the gate, tending to the oil lamp.

The fire dragon oil lamp was exceptionally bright.

It was brighter than the light of an ordinary oil lamp.

Lu Wenze became even more convinced that there was something dirty outside the door.

"It wastes oil and ruins the lamp wick, it's heartbreaking."

The brighter the oil lamp, the faster it consumes fuel.

This was all earned by Lu Wenze with his hard-earned money; how could it not break his heart?

One hundred ordinary Taoist scriptures can only be exchanged for three ounces of Fire Dragon Oil.

The strange occurrence outside the door cost him the equivalent of a day's worth of hard-earned money from copying in just one night.

If evil things happen outside the door every day, wouldn't I be bleeding myself dry every day?

Thinking of this, Lu Wenze's anger inevitably increased.

"Once my cultivation level is high enough, I'll fucking kill anyone who knocks on my door in the middle of the night," Lu Wenze cursed inwardly.

All he could do was writhe in this powerless rage.

"Little Seven, I've come here only to tell you that Little Four, Little Five, and Little Six were not doing this."

A slender, dark figure outside the door sighed softly at the gate.

Lu Wenze swallowed hard, his expression becoming even more focused, and he dared not let his mind wander.

Staring at the gate, staring at the oil lamp.

"I came here tonight because I was worried that you would be misled, so I had no choice but to do so."

"I am very pleased and gratified that you have been able to abide by the three rules I told you."

"But you should be careful of your senior brother."

"Your senior brother is the real culprit. You must be extra careful and avoid contact with him during this period."

The dark figure outside the door spoke in a magnetic voice, showing concern and reminding the disciple inside.

Faced with the concern of his "master" outside the door, Lu Wenze's defenses began to weaken without him realizing it, and he was about to speak.

Suddenly, the Everlasting Lamp in his sea of ​​consciousness burst into flame, startling Lu Wenze.

*Smack*

He slapped himself hard across the face.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"

"What is that sound?"

The dark figure outside the door inquired with concern.

I'm going crazy!!!

Lu Wenze fully regained consciousness.

My own natal magical artifact is giving me a warning.

It's not just a warning.

It was an exorcism.

There's something wrong with the voice of the "Master" outside the door.

It has the power to bewitch people.

Fortunately, his natal magic artifact gave him a warning, and the firelight resisted the alluring voice; otherwise, he might have impulsively opened the door if he had been misled.

Lu Wenze suddenly realized why his three senior brothers had fallen victim to the attack.

They also realized that the shadowy figure outside the door was more difficult to deal with than the one they had seen the night before.

Seeing that he couldn't get him to open the door no matter what he did, the shadowy figure resorted to other means.

Lu Wenze couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

I almost lost.

"Little Seven, your master is leaving."

"Don't worry, I know the rules of the academy."

"I won't let you open the door."

"You must strictly abide by these three rules."

Lu Wenze stared at the dark figure peeking through the door, watching him turn around and gradually move away from his door.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief, but my back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, the dark figure turned and pressed against the door.

Lu Wenze's heart was pounding, and he was startled when the dark figure suddenly turned around.

"Did you take the oil lamps from the fourth, fifth, and sixth graders?"

this......

Is there a problem?

"You invited 'me' into the house yourself."

Lu Wenze suddenly felt a chill run straight to the top of his head.

"Why don't you light all three lamps?"

The dark figure was almost pressed against the door, grinning with the most smug smile.

not good!!!

But then a dark figure suddenly slammed into the door.

bang~~~

The lit oil lamps shone brightly.

The dark figure outside the door let out a piercing scream and then vanished.

This ignitable dragon oil lamp has a wick that acts like a pump, quickly drawing in the dragon oil.

The dragon oil, which was almost full of the lamp, was dripping down visibly from the brass openwork markings visible on the lamp body.

Lu Wenze suddenly stood up and rushed towards the cabinet in the room, causing a large amount of black smoke to spill out of the cabinet door.

Lu Wenze was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks.

The billowing black smoke transformed into a dark shadow, lunging towards the lamp that was burning the last remaining dragon oil.

The dazzling firelight illuminated the room as if it were daytime.

The azure silk wick is burning rapidly.

Lu Wenze froze in his tracks.

A dark shadow swept past him, its chilling aura filled with chaotic emotions and desires, causing his consciousness to freeze.

A cold, malicious gaze focused on the cabinet door directly in front of him.

At this moment, Lu Wenze finally realized what was happening.

Three lamps.

The wick of the fourth brother's fire dragon oil lamp had burned out, but the wick soaked in the fire dragon oil was still quite long.

The other two lamps.

The remaining portion of the azure silk wick from the dragon oil lamp obtained from the fifth and sixth senior brothers could no longer be soaked in the dragon oil.

To save money, Lu Wenze turned the button on the fire dragon oil lamp to raise the wick and continue using it.

It's the lamp that Fourth Senior Brother used.

Even if Lu Wenze really tried to light the stolen fire dragon oil lamp, he could only try the lamp of his fourth senior brother.

He couldn't possibly replace the wicks of the other two fire dragon oil lamps with brand new ones.

Therefore, the two demonic figures were hidden inside the two fire dragon oil lamps.

The shadow is an invisible thing.

The fire dragon oil lamp can only be used to ward off evil spirits after it is lit.

The light was dazzling, and the dark figure pounced on the lit oil lamp, its body covered in black smoke as it dissipated and eventually vanished.

But the oil lamp also went out.

The wick burned out.

It was as if it had all been planned long ago.

Two demonic shadows exhausted a fire dragon oil lamp.

Meanwhile, the other demonic figures hidden in the fire-dragon oil lamp inside the cabinet spilled out from the cabinet door and transformed into human figures.

"Junior brother~~~, you poured a lot of effort and emotion into cutting through this demonic barrier."

What?

With his last glimpse of light, Lu Wenze clearly saw the figure that the black smoke that emerged from the cabinet door had transformed into.

It was none other than the eldest disciple, Wen Yuliang.

What did he mean by that?

"I can't escape the pursuit of my master's Dao Demon Shadow. After all, I was nurtured by my master with a lot of effort, and the Dao Demon Shadow he nurtured with his Dao Heart must be powerful."

"Only by killing you all can I completely eliminate my demonic obstacles and thoroughly clear away the demonic obstacles in my Dao heart."

Wen Yuliang was not in a hurry to make a move against Lu Wenze.

In his eyes, Lu Wenze was a lamb to the slaughter.

"For the past six months, I've treated you all like my own younger brothers!!!"

"Now, do not betray the investment of my desire."

Wen Yuliang walked step by step toward Lu Wenze.

"Xiao Qi, your soul must be delicious."

Lu Wenze's body stiffened; the cold, evil aura seemed to imprison the air, rendering him unable to move.

A cold, pale hand touched his brow.

Wisps of black smoke entered his brow.
