Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

After a long while, perhaps having heard the devil's voice too much, Zhou Hongyu had developed at least a minimal immunity. Her mind gradually calmed down, and she slowly entered a state of stillness, no longer troubled by the hallucinatory sounds in her ears.

The karma that originally occupied her Sea of Consciousness seemed to be unraveling like a cocoon, slowly being drawn out from her mental state.

At the top of the Thousand Buddha Temple tower, listening to the monks chanting for several hours, and with no news of the two people escaping, the old monk also had a face like still water, murmuring in silence.

Logically speaking, with Zhou Hongyu's fragile nature, she would surely not withstand the Red Lotus Demon Sound piercing her ears. She would either have to quickly flee far away from here, or simply rush over and fight for her life, what else could she do?

Yet unexpectedly, the monk soldiers patrolling outside hadn't found any trace of the two people until now!

Could it be that she knew she would face calamity if she left, and thus would rather go mad from the fire and die sitting than show herself and be captured by me?

Or does she have some Magic Treasure... No, if she had a treasure capable of stabilizing her Dao Heart, she would have used it during the earlier Red Lotus Karma Fire refining event in the temple. Moreover, her face was red, and her eyes were full of rage after she left the temple, clearly showing signs of an unstable Dao Heart.

Could it be that she used some Earth Tunneling Divine Power, and in fact, had already fled Maowu City before the Red Lotus Demon Sound even began?

After thinking for a long time, the old monk, with too few clues, did not know the situation, so he simply ordered the monks to rest their voices, while at the same time asked the monk soldiers outside to step up their patrol.

This was a tactic to lure the snake out of its hole. As long as those two were still hiding somewhere and tried to escape Maowu City while the chanting was paused, once they showed themselves, the chanting would immediately resume, using the devil's voice to restrain Zhou Hongyu, and then he would personally take action to kill the Divine General Dinghai!

He stood up from the meditation mat and gazed from the tower top toward the many dwellings around the temple, his eyes flashing sharp and fierce.

"The sound has finally stopped." Inside the room, Zhou Hongyu suddenly opened her eyes, greatly invigorated.

"Don't rush." Yan Yu said, "It might be a trap to draw us out. Have the noises in your Sea of Consciousness dispersed?"

"It's already much better." Zhou Hongyu replied.

"It's not enough." Yan Yu shook his head, "You need to completely remove the influence on your mental state, otherwise as soon as we escape, if they play that devil's voice again, what will you do? With external attacks and internal poison, internal and external pressures, it's too detrimental for you, we can't take this risk."

"Yes." Zhou Hongyu closed her eyes again.

Seeing her heed the advice, Yan Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to continue playing with the mobile phone when he suddenly heard Zhou Hongyu say:

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Yan Yu was shocked, thinking is it possible that she was brainwashed by the Red Lotus Demon Sound into going from a fiery temper to a soft girl?!

The Red Lotus Demon Sound actually has this effect?

Zhou Hongyu, still with her eyes closed, said in a low voice:

"Many times before, I actually knew you meant well, but I couldn't handle the provocation and lashed out at you... I'm very sorry."

"Oh, it's fine." Yan Yu immediately said reassuringly, "Although you've encountered this calamity, if you can comprehend these things and have a change in personality, it's not a loss."

"I..." Zhou Hongyu fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alas, I don't know if my personality has changed."

"Take it slow." Yan Yu casually said, "Life is long, who hasn't been rash in their youth?"

"Yes." Zhou Hongyu pondered for a while, then spoke again, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Yan Yu feigned ignorance.

"Thank you for rescuing me." Zhou Hongyu answered, "Even if you were given a mission from above, anyway... I owe you one."

"Alright, then you owe me a favor." Yan Yu said lightly, then suddenly had a mischievous thought and said, "How about you call me 'good brother' to hear how it sounds?"

In normal times, Zhou Hongyu would certainly clench her teeth and fists in anger, her eyes ablaze with fire.

But now, probably worn out by the Red Lotus Demon Sound, she just sighed softly and said:

"Good brother, can you please stop teasing me?"

"Alright, alright!" Yan Yu was overjoyed.
