Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[In fact, Li Gang was originally quite smart. Whether it was giving to the temple or changing the curtain of the statue of the temple, it was a sincere act of obeying the Buddha. It meant that he planned to outsmart them.

[However, after being stimulated by the ancestor’s blood essence and bringing along hundreds of thousands of his descendants, Li Gang’s ego was a little inflated.

[Demons were demons, after all, and they were easily impulsive.

[This impulsive action changed the plan of outwitting the temple into a forceful attack.

[Hundreds of thousands of mice covered the earth as they headed straight for the temple at the peak of the mountain.]

…

[In the main hall of the temple, Monk Void, Monk Virtue, Monk Grunter, and you were reciting scriptures in the main hall.

[Due to the strange atmosphere on the mountain today, it felt like a great battle was coming.

[Soon, the eyes of the four people who were originally sitting cross-legged and reciting scriptures opened at the same time. The lowest cultivation among you all was already the 9th Level of the Qi Refinement realm. Naturally, you were very clear about the perception outside the temple.

[One could not help but feel a little numb when they saw the densely packed nest of mice. Even if one had the cultivation of the 9th Level of the Qi Refinement realm, one would still be somewhat powerless in the face of the densely packed mouse army.

[After all, these mice were not ordinary mice. In terms of true strength, all of them had Qi Refinement cultivation. Some of the stronger ones even had a cultivation of the 5th or 6th Level of the Qi Refinement realm.

[However, when Monk Void, Monk Virtue, and Monk Grunter saw that the other party did not use any tricks and instead used a forceful attack, they all revealed smiles.

[Monk Void directly said, “Senior Brother Grunter, I think that you are worrying too much. These demons do not have any intelligence. If they want to forcefully attack our temple, it seems that we do not even need to act.”

[Monk Virtue also said with a smile, “demons are indeed demons. I just do not know how strong they are. They are able to attract the attention of the Guardian Heavenly King.”

[You were stunned, not knowing what these monks were talking about. However, the following scene made you instantly understand.

[A shadow instantly flew out from the temple’s entrance. How could the temple allow these vile demons to enter?

[Stimulated by the demonic aura, the Guardian Heavenly King had already arrived.

[The Heavenly King that appeared held a golden whip in his hand. He was dozens of meters tall, and the golden whip smashed down crazily. Each strike could take the lives of hundreds of mice.

[Seeing that only one Guardian Heavenly King had appeared, Monk Grunter’s ugly expression turned for the better.

[Since they had only provoked one Guardian Heavenly King, it meant that there were no strong opponents.

[If there were enemies on the same level as him, they would have at least attracted two Guardian Heavenly Kings.

[Although there was only one Guardian Heavenly King, he killed so many mice that they had no strength to resist.

[Some of them wanted to take the opportunity to rush into the temple, but they were blocked by a light screen and couldn’t enter.

[Just like that, the Guardian Heavenly King killed tens of thousands of mice, and the mice began to flee crazily.

[Li Gang, who was hiding in the dark, frowned when he saw the Guardian Heavenly King.

[With his strength, killing this Guardian Heavenly King was no problem, but if a few more came, even he would be powerless.

“d.a.m.n it! After checking so many times, why didn’t I find any Guardian Heavenly King in this temple?”

[Li Gang was a demon, but he could transform into a human and work in the government. Naturally, his cultivation was very strong. According to the cla.s.sification of your world, Li Gang was a Golden Core demon.

[In this Small World, his strength was not considered top-notch, but he was still considered a high-level existence.

[However, the reason he was so cautious when facing a small temple was all because the statue had a trace of the Bodhisattva’s true spirit.

[Although Li Gang had relied on his methods to avoid being detected and had even obtained many benefits from it, it was likely that the Bodhisattva’s true spirit would instantly awaken and kill him once his demon body was revealed.

[And now, the defeat of the mouse army had calmed Li Gang down once again. With the Guardian Heavenly King guarding the temple, attacking by force was the worst choice ever.

[This was because although the Guardian Heavenly King was not very strong, the most important thing was that he could be resurrected indefinitely.

[As long as the temple existed, and the power of faith was sufficient, even if the Guardian Heavenly King was destroyed, he would recover in an instant.

[Therefore, after confirming the existence of the Guardian Heavenly King, Li Gang decided to give up on the plan to attack and change it to the previous plan of outwitting him.

[As the nest of mice retreated, the three monks in the temple were filled with joy. With them holding down the fort and the existence of the Guardian Heavenly King, not to mention some weak mouse demons, even those powerful demons in human form, they were confident that they could kill them.]

…

[Soon, it was nighttime. After dinner, the few of them began to knock on the wooden fish in the main hall and recite scriptures.

[In a corner that no one noticed, a very thin and small black-furred mouse was in a corner outside the main hall, poking its head into the hall.

[This mouse was naturally not an ordinary mouse. The leader of the plan, Li Gang, had personally transformed.

[After realizing that the a.s.sault was fruitless, Li Gang swallowed the blood essence from the ancestor. Not only did his cultivation increase, but he also snuck in.

[Li Gang shrunk his body to the smallest size, the size of a baby’s palm.

[After observing for a moment, Li Gang boldly pa.s.sed through the middle of the hall and went behind the legs of the table at the bottom of the altar.

[He was very fast.

[You seemed to have sensed something. However, after opening your eyes and looking around carefully, you did not find anything useful, so you closed your eyes again.

[Under the seal of the temple, the mouse the size of an elephant revealed an excited expression. He had already sensed that his descendant was very close to the seal.

[As long as he broke the jade bottle in the statue’s hand, he would be able to break the seal and regain his freedom.

[Soon, you and the three monks finished reciting the scriptures.

[At that moment, Monk Grunter spoke. “During the day, a nest of mice attacked us. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t attack us tonight. Why don’t the four of us sleep in this hall today?”

[Monk Grunter’s idea was very safe. After all, sometimes it was really dangerous at night.

[The three of you naturally had no objections.

[On the contrary, Li Gang, who had been waiting for them to finish chanting and go back to sleep, suddenly became anxious.

[Originally, he would wait for them to leave the main hall and secretly break the jade bottle in the statue’s hand.

[But now, instead of leaving, they were going to spend the night in the main hall. He had never thought of this.

[Furthermore, it was too dangerous for Li Gang to continue hiding there. He looked at the statue and the jade bottle in its hand.

[Li Gang gnashed his teeth, and his body instantly grew bigger. He then dashed out.]
