Chapter 327 - 145: Encountering Little Bai Ling Again

"What kind of Dharma Gate is this?"

At that moment, the weakened Qing Lian, still bound, couldn’t help but stare, dumbfounded and in disbelief. She thought in astonishment, ’Little Jing Kong... how is he even...?’

After all, in her eyes, Xu Lei was still just a ten-year-old boy. Although he’d been in Cultivation for over three years, his Cultivation level shouldn’t be that impressive!

For such a little boy to unleash a technique of such immense power!

It completely overturned her understanding of the world!

Of course, Xu Lei didn’t waste time talking to Qing Lian.

He didn’t know if the four fat nuns were dead yet.

Their bodies were indeed mangled.

But from each of them, a dark, shadowy mass was emerging.

They looked like monsters formed from Fog.

They had two wings.

Four claws.

And a mouth full of fangs.

They resembled oversized bats, but their faces had human-like features.

Their pupils were a startling green.

’Could these be the legendary Nether Demons?’

Xu Lei’s expression changed. ’So that’s how it is. No wonder!’

In an instant, everything clicked into place.

After all, Xu Lei had lived two lives and had naturally read many ancient texts.

They described a type of Demon that existed as a life form made of Fog.

These beings could possess people.

The fat nuns must have been possessed by Nether Demons.

They had been kind to Xu Lei and nurtured him all these years because they believed he was an Innate Spirit Body born with a Dao Seed.

They were planning to possess him.

But Xu Lei wasn’t an Innate Spirit Body at all.

He was just an ordinary person with decent talent.

The reason Xu Lei could practice Cultivation from birth was that he had inherited his Cultivation from his past life.

As for why Qing Lian’s behavior had been so contradictory...

He could guess the reason for that, too.

The one who brought Xu Lei from his home to the Nunnery in this life must have been the Nether Demon possessing Qing Lian, not Qing Lian herself.

This Nether Demon wanted to bring him back, nurture him, and then let one of its companions possess him.

The other four fat nuns were its accomplices.

Xu Lei was still too young, his body not yet mature, so they had acted normal the entire time.

On the night of the full moon, the reason he heard things being smashed in Qing Lian’s room was that Qing Lian herself hadn’t been completely possessed. She was still fighting back!

And when Qing Lian had come to him earlier, bleeding from all seven orifices, it must have been because she saw the fat nuns preparing to make their move on him, prompting her to resist even more fiercely.

Or perhaps she had been forced to fight back so violently for her own sake.

That was how she momentarily regained control of her body, causing herself to bleed from her orifices.

Although this was mixed with some of Xu Lei’s own speculation...

...he felt it was more or less the truth.

"What kind of technique is this?"

"How can you possess such strength?"

"You’re just a ten-year-old child! How could you unleash an attack with that much power?"

At that moment, the Nether Demons that had emerged from the fat nuns’ bodies shrieked.

"Die!"

But Xu Lei wasted no words. With a wave of his hand, he pulled more Explosive Packages from his Qiankun Cloth Bag.

Using his Magical Power, he controlled a Fire Stick to light the fuses, then used his Magical Power again to hurl them one after another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The explosions were relentless.

The blasts ripped the Nether Demons’ bodies to shreds.

Each time they were blown apart, their bodies would reform, though they grew weaker with every blast.

Xu Lei threw them furiously, without pause.

"Master, save us!"

"Master!"

"No!"

Just as they were about to be blasted into oblivion,

they screamed these words in the Demon Language.

Instantly, Xu Lei whipped his head around, sensing a black fog rushing toward him at high speed.

It was the hidden Nether Demon. It had used some technique to approach him undetected.

Xu Lei understood. This must be the Nether Demon that had originally intended to possess him.

But this time, Xu Lei didn’t resist.

Now that he knew his opponent was a Nether Demon, he wasn’t afraid at all!

After all, Xu Lei wasn’t a so-called Innate Spirit Body.

As Xu Lei deliberately let his guard down, the black fog shot toward the spot between his eyebrows.

It bored directly into his Sea of Consciousness.

Soon, within his Sea of Consciousness, Xu Lei’s consciousness saw what this Nether Demon looked like.

Its form was similar to the Female Nether Demons from before.

However, this one had four wings.

It was clearly a higher rank than the others!

"How is this possible? What’s going on? Why does your Sea of Consciousness look like this?"

Of course, the Nether Demon quickly had a mental breakdown. It roared, "You’re not an Innate Spirit Body at all!"

"Shatter for me!"

But Xu Lei didn’t waste time talking. With a single thought, he summoned the Ten Thousand Lives Book.

BOOM.

Within the space of his Sea of Consciousness, the massive Ten Thousand Lives Book flew across the void, erupting in an incredibly brilliant light.

The light shone directly on the male Nether Demon, causing its body to rapidly dissolve.

Finally, just like Hui Lu before it, it shattered and dissipated within Xu Lei’s Sea of Consciousness.

At that moment, Xu Lei’s expression shifted. He realized he had obtained some of the Nether Demon’s fragmented memories.

Xu Lei no longer focused his attention on his Sea of Consciousness.

He immediately regained control of his physical body and opened his eyes.

After all, he was afraid some other entity might be waiting to attack him.

But there was nothing.

The four Female Nether Demons were now dead.

And Qing Lian was still bound and weak.

She stared in shock at Xu Lei and the four dead fat nuns.

Before Xu Lei could say anything,

Qing Lian’s entire body began to contort in pain again.

At the same time, her body struggled violently.

Xu Lei understood at once: the Nether Demon in her mind had started some new maneuver.
