Chapter 2267: Human Desires

~7 min read 1,227 words

This Dong Fu can only hold three people at a time; the Heavenly Family's masters can only guard outside.

As the Dong Fu entrance opened, Tianlin, Miao Qianqian, and Ye Zhangqing also stepped inside.

Ye Zhangqing was there for the first time, so he naturally followed behind the two.

Needless to say, Tianlin definitely wasn't there for the first time; Miao Qianqian also had the air of someone well acquainted, clearly having been here before.

The things that needed attention had already been explained to Ye Zhangqing beforehand, and the steps of the seal were already clear in his mind.

After entering the Dong Fu through the entrance, what came into view were two black mountain peaks.

The peaks were tall and yet perfectly straight, like two sharp swords.

Moreover, the whole mountain peak looked as if it were a man-made magical artifact, not naturally formed.

Between the two peaks stood a massive creature.

Its body resembled a human, its skin was bluish-black all over, and it was covered with blood-red patterns.

The blood-red patterns spread over its entire body, it had a pair of horns on its head, and its teeth were extremely sharp.

This was the target of their trip, that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

Actually, no terrifying aura could be felt, after all it was in a sealed state, its power long locked down tight.

It was just that its huge size gave an extreme sense of oppression.

Ye Zhangqing and the two stood before that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, appearing as insignificant as dust.

Both hands and feet were tightly bound by thick iron chains, and a golden shackle was also on its neck.

Its movement was completely restricted, and upon seeing Ye Zhangqing and the two, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon let out bursts of angry howls.

Its huge eyes quickly turned blood-red, it strained against its bonds, and roared angrily again and again.

It looked as if it wanted to devour people, but aside from roaring, it could do nothing.

Faced with that earth-shaking howl, Ye Zhangqing and the two remained calm, showing no change in expression.

Anyway, this guy couldn't do anything else but howl; he posed no threat.

"Brother Ye, be careful; this thing can bewitch the mind, so during the sealing process we must keep our hearts steadfast."

Tianlin spoke up to remind them.

With its power completely sealed, there was nothing else to worry about; this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon could not harm the three.

However, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon still had a strange method that could not be sealed.

Namely, it seemed able to see into people's hearts, know what they most desired, and then conjure that thing to tempt them.

Once someone became engrossed, they would be controlled by it.

In the past, members of the Heavenly Family had fallen under this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's delusion, nearly causing a great disaster.

Lost in their own heart's desires, under the demon's control they actually wanted to release it and break the seal.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time by someone, thus avoiding the worst outcome.

So, Tianlin specifically reminded them again.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing nodded heavily, taking it very seriously.

Immediately, the three took their positions: Ye Zhangqing and Miao Qianqian went to the tops of the two side peaks, while Tianlin stood directly before the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

They began forming hand seals, activating the Formation to strengthen the seal.

It was obvious the demon knew what the three intended; after all, over the years it had experienced this many times.

"These damned humans, wanting to renew the seal and keep it locked up here again."

Having forgotten how many years it had been since it last saw daylight, watching Ye Zhangqing and the two's actions, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon struggled ever more frantically.

The sound of the chains rattling echoed inside the Dong Fu; it went mad trying to resist, to struggle, but to no avail.

As for Ye Zhangqing, Miao Qianqian, and Tianlin, they paid no heed; their hand seals continued, and one mysterious rune after another kept gathering on the mountain and the chains.

These runes were the power of the seal.

Feeling the seal's power steadily increase, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon also unleashed its final trick.

Before Tianlin's eyes appeared a beautiful woman.

This was Tianlin's mother, and also his deepest longing.

Tianlin and Ye Zhangqing had spoken before about his mother.

When he was very young, his mother died, so Tianlin greatly wished to see her again.

This was also his deepest obsession; at this moment the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon conjured an image of his mother to try to bewitch him.

But Tianlin was utterly unmoved by it.

After all, he had experienced this many times before and knew it was false.

The first time, Tianlin almost fell for it; even though he knew it was fake, being able to see his mother again, so vivid, made it truly hard to control his heart's flutter.

That time, Tianlin nearly got bewitched.

But as he grew older and the number of sealings increased, Tianlin had long become indifferent to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's temptation.

His expression unchanged, he didn't even glance at the "mother" beside him.

The illusory figure spoke, but Tianlin paid no attention, as if he couldn't see it at all.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's trick had no effect on Tianlin, and the same went for Miao Qianqian.

Beside Miao Qianqian appeared a worm whose body was entirely golden.

This worm was Miao Qianqian's greatest obsession.

But the moment that worm appeared, Miao Qianqian was not affected at all; instead she laughed and teased.

"This guy's method is indeed realistic; he can even make my Xijiang Holy Worm look this real. If I didn't know where this was, I'd really think the Holy Worm was right in front of me."

Though she said that, Miao Qianqian's eyes were clear, showing she had not been bewitched by that so‑called Holy Worm.

In her heart she was quite clear: the Holy Worm before her was fake, it simply did not exist.

Upon hearing that, Tianlin spoke in a low voice.

"Don't waste words, be careful, don't capsize in the gutter."

Tianlin, however, did not dare to relax; each sealing must have no slightest error, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable.

Only after everything settles can it be considered truly safe.

Upon hearing this, Miao Qianqian obediently closed her mouth and continued the sealing.

However, both of them are experienced, having performed the sealing more than once, and they are quite experienced in dealing with the methods of this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

Now the one who should truly be worried is Ye Zhangqing.

After all, Ye Zhangqing is seeing this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's methods for the first time, and he does not know what his greatest obsession or desire is.

Whether he can withstand it; if he is bewitched by this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, then it will be troublesome.

Tianlin and Miao Qianqian are both truly worried about Ye Zhangqing, after all, he is the only one with no experience at all.

While they were carrying out the sealing, they also glanced worriedly at Ye Zhangqing, fearing he could not resist the temptation.

But when their gazes fell on where Ye Zhangqing was, for a moment they both fell silent, their expressions extremely strange.
