Chapter 2484 Wrathful Deities


    Inside the deep cave, Lin Mu and the others could see thousands of carvings on the walls as well as the rock pirs that held up the ceiling.


    They were all written in a script they had all be familiar with.


    "It''s indeed the Shamanic Script of the Demonic tribes." Ziran confirmed seeing them.


    Lin Mu watched them for a few seconds before finallyying his eyes on what looked like a small temple. It was located in the middle of the cave and was barely ten meters tall. There were two weathered statues standing on either side of its entrance that red at them.


    "Are those, demons?" Crown Princess Shang said upon seeing the mottled statues.


    "They are…" Ziran said in a voice that almost seemed like a whisper. "What is it?" Lin Mu could sense the tenseness. "They''re not just any demons… They''re Demonic Deities who are worshipped by the Demons." Ziran answered. "The Four Armed Vengeful Rakshasa and the Jagged Maw Punishing Demon." He revealed.


    "What''s special about them?" Lin Mu asked, knowing that there must be more to them.


    He knew that a lot of the Demons worshipped their ancestors. But this was usually unique to each tribe for the most part. Among them though there were great demons who had not just been worshipped by one tribe but multiple of them.


    They had been worshipped for such a long time that some of them were considered as deities across almost all Demonic Tribes, bing well known in the entire Immortal World.


    "The Four Armed Vengeful Rakshasa and the Jagged Maw Punishing Demon aren''t just any normal Demonic Deities. They''re considered as the Wrathful Demonic Deities that judge and punish criminals.


    Their statues aren''t usually made just anywhere and are exclusive to prisons." Ziran exined, making the others surprised. "This ce… it''s a prison." It was hard to believe at first, but then they thought about it all from the start.


    The cryptic directions, the almost impossible to follow clues, and finally the hidden cave. It was even located in a rather ignorable location such as the Tri-cone Savanna. It was basically the best ce to hide a prison. But then, looking at the small temple, they got more doubts.


    "If the statues are there, then that Temple is a Prison?" Monk Hushu asked, his eyes narrowed in apprehension. His hands were already sping the prayer beads, as he had an ominous feeling about it all. "It''s unusual, but since the two Wrathful Demonic Deities are there, it''s definitely a prison. The Demons are strict about things like this and won''t just ce them anywhere." Ziran confirmed.


    ~Huu~


    "Since we''re here, we definitely have to check it. Especially since this is something Yao Changying has been after." Crown Prince Feng Shun spurred them all.


    "Amithabha, let''s just tread with caution." Monk Hushu advised.


    "Of course." Daoist Chu said. "I think we should look at all these carvings… while I can''t read them, something tells me that these aren''t just some tunes." He added.


    "They sure aren''t." Lin Mu said as he traced his fingers over them. "They''re warnings…" he revealed.


    "What do they say?" Crown Princess Shang asked.


    "All that that dare to tread here be warned, for you have note for fortune, but for death." Ziran read. "Its the same thing written over and over again." Daoist Chu took a closer look and realized that the carvings were indeed the same. Due to natural weathering, they had been damaged a bit and had uneven textures, but after checking with immortal sense, he could indeed confirm that they were the same.


    "For them to carve it so many times… They really wished to emphasize that fact." Crown Prince Feng Shun felt his stomach became a bit uneasy too.


    The ominous feeling wasn''t just limited to Monk Hushu now and everyone was feeling it.


    "Perhaps we should set up some defensive measures?" Daoist Chu said, taking out a stack of talismans.


    "We definitely should." Lin Mu was in agreement. "Same protocol as the Bridge ne." He stated.


    Everyone nodded and used a bunch of talismans, consumed a few pills, and activated their techniques. It was all done in a practiced manner, for they had repeated this same procedure hundreds of times in the past.


    But that wasn''t all, as Daoist Chu and Lin Mu even set up a few defensive formations around the temple to contain whatever might be inside it.


    Lady Kang was currently not present here, thus Lin Mu couldn''t rely on her defensive tools as such he reckoned adding more formations was better. Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    The woman was busy handling matters in the city and gathering more intel through herworks as such she couldn''te on this trip. Of course, Elder Hu and Min Ju were with her too and were helping her out.


    After a while, Lin Mu and Daoist Chu had finished setting it all up and were now ready to proceed.


    ~SHUA~


    They first checked with their immortal sense and probed the temple''s walls.


    "Hmm, we can''t actually check inside it. It''s sealed." Lin Mu quickly found out.


    "Considering it''s a prison, it makes sense that they don''t want whatever or whomever''s inside to get out," Ziran replied. "We might have to be a bit harsh with it." He spoke.


    ~HUU~


    "Very well, I''ll check it myself." Lin Mu said, knowing that he had the best chance here since he wouldn''t be affected by the Demonic Influences as easily due to being used to it.


    He stood at the gate of the temple and held the handles.


    He already had the Longgui Bulwark Armor active along with a bunch of talismans, so would get some time to act.


    ~CREAK~


    But when he pulled on the gate, he found it to open rather easily, as if it weren''t locked at all.


    ~WHOOSH~


    And in the next second, he felt a gush of malevolent energy pouring out through the gap!


    "WITHERING ENERGY!" Lin Mu immediately shouted in warning.
