Chapter 95
Jiang Chen didn’t give the demon lord any time to react. He took a deep breath and recited a six-syllable mantra.
“Om Mani Padme Hum!”
With a half-second stop between every two syllables, it wasn’t any language that existed in the Nine Heavens Continent. Although it sounded weird, it contained a vast and mysterious energy.
A golden light was emitted from Jiang Chen’s body when he was reciting “ni.” A golden character flew out of his mouth and dashed towards the panic demon lord.
“The Six-Character Great Bright Mantra? How is that possible? What relation do you have with Buddhism?!” the demon lord shouted in a panic. His horrifying scarlet radiance was devoured by the golden light as soon as the two touched, as if they had run into a natural enemy.
People of the four groups regained their strength instantly.
By the time the six golden characters had all taken shape, Jiang Chen said, “Inject your genuine yuan into my body if you don’t want to die!”
How on earth was this door so heavy that it couldn’t be pushed open?
At the same time, everyone was cheered up. They thought the treasure must be behind the door.
“Come here, everyone!” Wan Li called, intending to gather everyone’s strength to push the door.
“Wait. Be careful!” Jiang Chen hurried to run over. He said, “The Vermillion Bird State disappeared thousands of years ago, probably even before the Demon War. Back then, all worlds were troubled by demons. This underground structure isn’t a relic. It could be a prison, where the demons were kept!”
People burst into uproar.
It made sense. After all, this place was so deep down that it totally satisfied the requirements to be a prison.
“What demons? That’s only a legend. The thing we just saw could have been a human being who practiced evil methods. The treasure could be right behind the iron door. You just said that because you want to take the treasure for yourself!”
Gao Chenyi had completely lost his senses. He was blaming everything on Jiang Chen.
He would be doomed anyway after leaving this place, so no matter what he thought was behind the iron door, he would refute whatever Jiang Chen said.
However, many people were persuaded by such absurd arguments. It looked they wouldn’t be satisfied until the door was open.
Jiang Chen let out a sigh. The demons had been a remote history for people of this era. They even thought that demons were only a legend.
“Jiang Chen, if there are demons kept inside, how did that demon lord escape from there? Even though there are demons, they must be much weaker than that one. So many years have passed and the demons could not even escape. Those weak ones could be dead,” Wan Li said.
Jiang Chen knew he had no way of stopping them.
