Redemption of a Born Demon-Chapter 62: Breaking Down the Door to Ask if the Divination is Efficacious

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Breaking Down the Door to Ask if the Divination is Efficacious

"The Third Prince of Siam?"

Zhou Bailu was taken aback when she heard this.

Although Siam was now a constitutional monarchy, it was common knowledge that the Siam King wielded immense power. The Third Prince of Siam was certainly a major figure, so it was only natural for people like them to be kept waiting.

So, she could only suppress her displeasure and continue to wait obediently.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall, everything was resplendent and magnificent. A sixteen-foot-tall Golden Body of a Buddha sat cross-legged in the center, its eyes downcast in contemplation.

Upon closer inspection, the statue’s face bore a striking resemblance to the Great Vow Master.

He had deified himself, receiving incense and worship while still alive.

At this moment, three monks and a man in casual attire were seated in the hall. Tall Protector monks served them tea, and behind the casually dressed man stood three security guards in sharp suits.

These men stood ramrod straight. Though they wore sunglasses, one could still feel their intense gazes, a clear sign of their formidable strength.

The three monks’ Dharma names were Earth Listener, Earth Smell, and Earth Spirit. They were all direct disciples of the Great Vow Master. On ordinary days when the Master did not make public appearances, they were the ones who handled the worldly affairs of the Bao Lian Temple.

And the man in casual attire was the Third Prince of Siam, Mahesvara.

"Masters, is the Master truly not in the temple? Or is he simply unwilling to see me?"

Mahesvara inquired.

"Our Master has gone traveling and has not yet returned. Your Highness need not be suspicious. If there is anything you need, you can simply tell us."

Among the three monks, a kind-faced, middle-aged man spoke.

This was the monk Earth Listener. Within the Great Bao Lian Temple, his prestige and Taoist Skill were second only to the Great Vow Master. The power of his Esoteric Hand Seals could bewitch the hearts of men.

With the Great Vow Master currently absent from the temple, he was in charge of everything.

"Not long ago, I’m sure you masters heard about the incident in Northern Myanmar. A newly emerged Saint Expert from Donghua who has achieved Body Ascension single-handedly infiltrated Northern Myanmar and slaughtered everyone in an entire building belonging to the Pioneer Group’s Southern Ocean Branch."

Mahesvara said with a grave expression.

Myanmar and Siam are neighboring countries. Northern Myanmar is separated from northern Siam by merely a river. Naturally, news of what happened there quickly reached the ears of Siam.

The Siam Royal Family was taking this matter very seriously.

That expert who achieved Body Ascension was able to slaughter a branch of the Pioneer Group and escape successfully. Who could guarantee that he didn’t have the ability to infiltrate Siam and threaten the safety of their Royal Family and high-ranking officials?

To some extent, they viewed this incident as a show of force from Donghua—a display of threat.

That was why he had come here today, to probe the Great Vow Master’s attitude on the matter.

"We are already aware of this. That man is a prolific killer who treats human life as worthless. He is truly a demon lord incarnate. I am certain that karmic retribution will soon befall him."

Earth Listener chanted a Buddhist mantra, his face full of compassion, his tone resolute.

He knew full well that his Master had not gone traveling. Instead, he had gone to vanquish the demon, even taking the Eighteen Demon Kings and various Dharma Artifacts with him. With a surprise ambush along the way, the demon lord would have no escape, even if he grew wings.

By now, the man had probably been converted into a part of the Master’s Cultivation.

However, this was a secret known only to a select few, so he naturally couldn’t reveal much to Mahesvara.

"We have intelligence suggesting that man has a grudge with the Doli Group, which is under your temple’s purview. He is a man who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. Now that he has left his country, could this lead to trouble?"

Mahesvara asked, probing again.

"Your Highness can rest assured. Here in Siam, we have my Master. In the capital, the Eight-armed Celestial Net Master also stands guard. The security around His Majesty is ironclad. How could it possibly compare to Northern Myanmar? If that beast dares to cause trouble in Siam, my Master will surely sense it. Subduing the demonic obstacle would be as easy as flipping his palm. How could that man possibly contend with my Master’s Divine Power and Magic?"

Earth Listener offered reassurance, his expression unchanged.

Mahesvara was about to say more when he suddenly heard a commotion from outside and couldn’t help but frown in confusion.

At the same time, in the teahouse outside the hall, the group of worshippers waiting to have their fortunes told heard it even more clearly.

Shouts, clamor, and the frantic, disorderly sound of dense footsteps.

What was going on?!

This was the Great Bao Lian Temple, a place of tranquility. Even they had to speak in hushed tones when they came here, lest they disturb the peace and displease the masters of this place. Who would dare cause such a ruckus here now? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The people in the teahouse exchanged glances, then rose and walked to the entrance to see what was happening outside.

Zhou Bailu and Boss Zheng did the same.

Looking out from the teahouse entrance, they saw tall, burly Protector monks wielding weapons and rushing toward the gate of the rear courtyard.

In addition, there were six men in plain clothes.

These six men—some gaunt, some with ferocious faces, some with eyes as sharp as blades—all had a vicious air about them. As they passed the teahouse entrance, their menacing aura left everyone trembling with fear.

They had seen these men before. Rumor had it they were all once infamous killers in Nanyang, their hands stained with countless lives. They were later "reformed" by a master from the Bao Lian Temple and stayed on as Protectors, each said to possess the divine courage to fight a hundred men.

And their target was a young man who was strolling toward them.

They watched clearly as more than ten monks, wielding clubs and sharp weapons, swarmed the young man, who seemed to be shrouded in an Invisible Force Field. Not only was he completely unharmed by their blows, but the monks’ weapons were knocked from their hands, and their faces contorted in pain.

A hundred blades struck his body, yet he continued his leisurely stroll.

Then, with a casual wave of the young man’s hand, a crackling sound exploded in the air. The attacking monks were thrown into the air, their bodies twisting at unnatural angles, bones broken and sinews torn. It was unknown if they were dead or alive.

And that was only the beginning.

"How dare you act so presumptuously in this sacred place?!"

The six murderous thugs charged toward the young man.

However.

BANG!!

With a single palm strike from the young man, one of the thug’s heads exploded, spraying a fan-shaped cone of blood and brain matter.

He then took a step forward and waved his hand again. Another thug’s entire chest seemed to burst open, erupting in a spray of blood mist.

One step, one kill. After six steps, only six mangled corpses remained on the ground.

This so-called place of tranquility was now stained red with blood.

The young man, like an indestructible True God, was completely unscathed.

This shocking scene finally jolted the worshippers back to their senses, and a tingling numbness crawled over their scalps.

Who in the world was this man?!

Zhou Bailu’s eyes widened. Although she was a famous actress from Donghua, when had she ever witnessed such a bloody scene?

In that tall man’s hands, human lives were worth less than ants.

Looking at the mangled corpses on the ground, her stomach churned, and she nearly threw up.

However, she quickly clamped a hand tightly over her mouth, terrified of making the slightest sound.

Because that man was now walking toward the main hall.

His unconcealed, surging Evil Qi seemed to freeze the very air. Everyone in the teahouse was paralyzed with terror, unable to even twitch.

Fortunately, the man didn’t even spare them a glance as he strode past the teahouse entrance and headed toward the main hall.

Zhou Bailu felt that in the instant the man’s figure passed the teahouse entrance, the entire sky seemed to darken.

「Meanwhile.」

Inside the main hall, the three masters and the Prince of Siam heard the commotion outside and the approaching footsteps. They had all risen to their feet, their expressions flickering with uncertainty.

"I hear your Bao Lian Temple is quite skilled at telling fortunes. Why don’t you draw a lot for yourselves right now? See if you can divine whether you’ll live through the day. Let’s see if your fortunes are as accurate as they say."

A calm voice spoke from the other side of the hall’s wooden doors.

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it seemed to penetrate the walls and doors, resonating with a deafening boom throughout the entire hall, making their ears ring and their eyeballs tremble.
