Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 156 Old Shoulders Slippery

"Wang Teng, do you have any ideas?" Ai Jiangtu asked hurriedly.

"No, I don't know exactly where his consciousness is. I can't pull it back unless I enter it myself." Wang Teng shrugged.

They were completely baffled. They had never encountered anything so bizarre before. If Wang Teng hadn't explained it to them in detail, they might not have known the inside story.

"Mo Fan, didn't you say you saw a young girl before? Could it be true?" Jiang Shaoxu was genuinely frightened.

Mo Fan got goosebumps immediately after hearing what she said.

"But why Zhao Manyan? There are so many of us here, how come he's the one who got infected?" Mu Tingying looked at Zhao Manyan, who was lying on the bed with his body turning blue.

Mo Fan smacked his lips, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He couldn't very well say that it was his doing, could he? Did that woman kill people based on their names?

"Has he been anywhere? Could he have encountered something unclean?" Zu Jiming seemed to be quite knowledgeable about ghost stories from the island nation.

"Alright, stop guessing. Let's search the area and see if there's anything suspicious."

"Since the incident occurred here on the mountaintop, the root cause must also be here. Why is it that there are no problems elsewhere but only here?"

Ai Jiangtu quickly came up with a solution that was hardly a solution.

"Let's all team up, so no one gets separated. That way, we can help each other if something happens," Nan Jue said.

"Let's go check out this back mountain. When I was cultivating on the rocks outside, I saw that people lived here, so it should be fine. The back mountain seems to be closed off," Wang Teng said.

"Now that you mention it, I realize it's true. The passageways leading to the back mountain are all blocked off with tape," Mo Fan said, sharing what he had seen.

"Then I, Wang Teng, Nan Jue, and Jiang Shaoxu will go and go look for them. The rest of you can stay here and wait for news."

After Ai Jiangtu finished speaking, he glanced at the three of them and walked out of the room.

The three followed, and after leaving the side room, they took a detour and arrived at the back mountain, which was overgrown with weeds. Following the blurred path, they found a messy house.

Ai Jiangtu activated a burst of spatial magic energy, which, like a surging gale, blew away all the weeds and fallen trees.

As the group entered, they saw a wooden fish carved with strange patterns on the table.

"This is... an ancient totem artifact!" Nan Jue walked over quickly, frowned, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you sure?" Ai Jiangtu asked as he approached her.

"I'm sure I've seen the pattern on this wooden fish before. This kind of ancient artifact must be a very high-level Soul-grade artifact."

"It's not surprising that vessel spirits are easily born here. No wonder Mo Fan was able to see such young girls..." Nan Jue said with a meaningful smile.

Sizzle~

Ai Jiangtu reached out his hand and was jolted back by the yellow electric arc above it.

"These soul-level artifacts will choose for themselves; you can't force them." Nan Jue smiled, understanding Ai Jiangtu's feelings.

"Moreover, I roughly know that Zhao Manyan was probably dragged into the independent world of this kind of soul-level artifact by the artifact spirit."

"I can assist your souls in entering that space and bringing him back."

"Who's going?"

Nan Jue looked at Jiang Shaoxu, Ai Jiangtu, and Wang Teng.

"I think I'd better not..." Jiang Shaoxu rubbed her shoulders, the goosebumps on her body still hadn't gone away. How could she be allowed to go inside?

"Jiang Fox, you still manage to inspire people even at a time like this." Wang Teng watched as she rubbed her tank top to one side, revealing a rather alluring figure. What a woman with incredibly smooth, old shoulders.

Jiang Shaoxu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized her mistake and quickly pulled the straps back up.

"You bastard, you saw it too, why didn't you go in and save them?"

Wang Teng laughed, his smile never fading. "If even the Mind Department isn't going, then I'll have to reluctantly go in."

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat. Indeed, mind magic would be much better in this situation.

His curse skills are decent in terms of attack, but they are far inferior to his mind skills in other aspects.

"Alright then, you can hypnotize yourself and I'll guide your soul into it. But be careful, if you get injured, your soul will also be injured, and if you die, you will die in the real world as well," Nan Jue said seriously.

"Hmm~ Come on!" Wang Teng went directly to the ground next to the wooden fish and sat cross-legged. In a moment, he entered an unconscious hypnotic state.

"This guy is really amazing!" Nan Jue exclaimed, and then immediately began to guide him.

Wang Teng suddenly felt a force carrying him to an unfamiliar place, and then he immediately woke up.

This is the bustling side of Yanming Temple back then.

"What an amazing technique! To be able to construct an illusion in an independent space, the strength of which is incredible..."

Wang Teng closed his eyes, unleashing his sixth-realm spiritual devouring ability, as if he were swimming in a vast ocean of spirit.

His mental strength increased rapidly...

Wang Teng grinned and strolled around slowly, his eyes taking in the crowd of people coming and going.

They themselves may not realize it, but it is indeed a manifestation of spiritual consciousness in an independent space, like a dream.

With so many people... this space contains a large amount of free-floating spiritual energy, and it's also in a closed state.

"Don't worry, I'm fine inside. This is a scene from the past, and there are quite a lot of people here. I'll take a look around first and then tell you more about it later."

Wang Teng spoke into the void, and then suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance—the scent of Jiang Fox.

Ignoring them, Wang Teng wandered towards the mountain temple. After circling around for a long time, his spiritual power suddenly broke through a barrier and entered the seventh realm.

The area covered by the innate spiritual devouring technique expanded from a radius of 500 meters to a radius of one kilometer, and the speed at which spiritual power poured in increased even more.

As his talent improved, his seventh-realm spiritual power also saw through this illusory world, finding the demon spirit hiding in the shadows, which was now glaring at him angrily.

For some reason, ever since this guy came in, the spiritual energy in this world has inexplicably disappeared. The rate of loss is very fast. Just now, it suddenly accelerated its loss, which made it very anxious, so it drove this person out.

After the stranger disappeared and the world returned to normal, the little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still unhappy.

Wang Teng suddenly felt dizzy as his soul returned to his body.

"Ah~ You came out so quickly?" Jiang Shaoxu's face showed a surprised expression.

Wang Teng opened his eyes, never expecting to hear such an insulting remark as his first words; it was simply unbearable.

"Jiang the Fox, it's nighttime now. Do you realize how much you've misunderstood me?"

"I think you should test the law yourself; only then will you truly understand how long I can hold out!"

Wang Teng smiled, but his eyes betrayed his intention to do it for real.
