Whoosh!
The huge pillar of light suddenly disappeared.
Shelly stood on Persephone’s Folly Bridge in astonishment. She had been staying inside Alex’s mind palace, but now, favonovel.com completely failed to sense his existence. The others were also lost in thought as they looked in the direction of the pillar of light that vanished.
On the other hand, those evil Buddhas had originally relied on drawing energy from Dairaionji Temple in order to exist, but now that the golden pillar of light was gone, the channel of energy was completely severed. They all melted into slag and disappeared with the wind without the need for the nether realm people to do anything.
“Did the Empress go there too?”
“Will the Empress be fine?”
The kings of hell looked at each other with dismay and worry in their eyes.
The Goddess of Compassion waved the willow branch in favonovel.com hand. “Amitabha. The Empress is accompanied by the Buddha. With the Buddha’s great wisdom and his Life Wheel, favonovel.com should be safe at Dairaionji Temple. Of course. The Empress must not let favonovel.com emotions get better of favonovel.com in there, or else the situation will be unpredictable.”
Shelly said, “I’m afraid Alex Rockefeller doesn’t have great wisdom. Instead, favonovel.com will make Empress Ghast take maternity leave.”
The huge toad croaked. “It can’t be, right?”
“Let’s make a bet!”
“What’s the wager?”
“If you lose, give me your body to make a smoked toad.”
The toad was puzzled.

Whoosh!
Following the golden pillar of light, Alex and Empress Ghast passed through a barrier with a swish and fell into another dimension. They fell hard on a sturdy stone.
After casting a sweeping glance, there were people in all directions.
They both instantly became vigilant. One of them was lifting a sword, whereas the other held the Immortal Butcher. However, upon closer inspection, they found something wrong. The people before their eyes were not real humans, but stone statues…
These stone statues looked almost similar to real people. They wouldn’t have been noticeable without a careful look.
“Do these statues look familiar to you?” Empress Ghast circled the stone statues and looked around.
“They look identical to the evil Buddhas in the Hell Tower,” Alex said.
“That’s right,” the empress replied. “So, all those evil Buddhas were the projections of these stone statues.”
Alex touched a stone statue, only to jump in shock before quickly letting go of his hand.
“What’s wrong?!” The empress noticed his abnormal reaction.
Alex looked at her. “There are signs of life in these stone statues.”
“Huh?”
The empress felt one of the statues. Then, favonovel.com swung the sword in favonovel.com hand down on it. A slight crack sound rang out and the stone statue was split in half from head to toe, revealing its contents. The content inside the cross-section was exactly the same as that of a real person, Most of the areas had been petrified, whereas a small area contained the look of a living human and blood.
“Holy sh*t!” Alex swore.
“These are the original monks of Dairaionji Temple! Consequently, evil Buddhism has turned them into half-stone statues. They have a fate far worse than death!”
The stone statue that had been cut open slowly closed its initially widened eyes.
It was a liberation.
“This is the terrifying consequence of evil Buddhism. These monks who have been turned into stone statues can’t live and die on their own, nor can they reincarnate. The nether realm will not accept their souls. Eventually, they can only wander here forever.”
Empress Ghast was a professional in this aspect and had favonovel.com insightful opinion. As favonovel.com spoke, the group of stone statues seemed to have been stimulated in some way or received an instruction. The stone statues’ eyes shot out red light.
They began to go berserk. They came to life and yelled. Then, they began to attack Alex and Empress Ghast.
“We have been discovered! Kill our way out!” The empress was decisive.
Alex was not an inflexible person either. Since these monks had long become someone else’s puppets and ended up in such a state right now, favonovel.com had no need to be merciful. He picked up the Immortal Butcher and went on a killing spree, just like the empress.
Swish!
At that moment, a whistling sound came from the sky. This sound was extremely shocking. They could feel a powerful and unparalleled coercion from a great distance.
