"Let's wait a bit longer, everyone isn't here yet. If we go in like this, wouldn't the risk be even greater?"
Mu Jinyu shook his head in refusal.
Nonsense, he was prepared to face death, but he certainly had no intention of throwing his life away for nothing!
And that fleeting shadow he had just caught a glimpse of, if he wasn't mistaken, was a terrifying demon registered in the Dragon King Hall.
Its codename was the Shoulder-Touching Ghost, a first-level demon with minimal danger to the city, killing only one person at a time. But on a one-on-one basis, its danger level was extremely high.
Its highest record was when a Martial Artist from a Martial Arts Family in Yang City, an Energy Transformation Warrior, encountered it and after being touched on the shoulder, vanished without a trace.
And who knew how many demons of such terrifying strength were in this Ghost School; if he didn't wait for everyone to arrive and rashly charged in, he feared he wouldn't be able to detain a few demons before meeting his own end.
Speaking of which, Mu Jinyu looked at Li Yaotong with some confusion and asked, "Mr. Li, why the sudden rush?"
Li Yaotong's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of anxiety as he explained, "I'm just worried that if we delay too much longer, the demons inside might stop their strange gathering and come out, and then it would be too late."
"That makes sense, but with so few of us, charging in directly is likely to make us easy prey. Let's wait a little longer," Mu Jinyu reassured.
"Reinhardt and Lucifer may be a bit late, but Sheng Rulai and Ren Xiaoyao should be arriving soon. Let's wait a bit longer."
"Fine then," Li Yaotong, unable to persuade Mu Jinyu, sighed in frustration and then said, "But if the demons come out later and we want to stop them and keep them trapped here, it's going to be very difficult."
"Difficult or not, we have no choice. When the time comes, we'll just have to face it head-on. For now, let's keep watching," Mu Jinyu said reluctantly.
Li Yaotong didn't try to persuade him any further.
Mu Jinyu continued to stare into the darkness within the Ghost School while pacing back and forth, pondering if there was any way to stop the demons from leaving and completely trap them inside the school?
Block the doors with gold?
That wouldn't work. After all, most demons are very ferocious. Even if every exit from the large school was blocked, the demons could break through walls to leave, and some could even pass directly through walls. What can you do against them?
Unless the demons would stay put in the school for a long time.
Only then could he possibly arrange for people to build a huge gold enclosure outside the school, enveloping it entirely.
However, there wasn't enough gold, and the demons were unlikely to remain in the school for long without coming out neatly.
So, there was really nothing he could do at the moment.
He could only wait for Sheng Rulai and the others to come over. With more people, they could then go in together to check things out.
In fact, in such a situation, it seemed that even if powerhouses like Sheng Rulai and Ren Xiaoyao from the God Realm intervened, it might not be very helpful, would it?
Better to have a few more Demon Whisperers.
Mu Jinyu suddenly thought of this.
He looked at Li Yaotong and asked, "Mr. Li, where are those Demon Whisperers who came with you earlier? Why haven't they come to help?"
Li Yaotong's face stiffened, and he sighed, "They had already entered the Ghost School to investigate when the Dragon King arrived, and we haven't heard back from them. We don't know if they're trapped inside or if something has happened to them."
Mu Jinyu's face darkened upon hearing this.
No wonder Li Yaotong was urging them to get inside as soon as he arrived – it turned out he was hoping to go in first to maybe save his subordinates!
Wasn't this setting a trap for others?!
"Amitabha..."
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.
Upon hearing the voice, Mu Jinyu instantly felt an overwhelming sense of security.
He turned around and saw, walking slowly down the street, a robust monk dressed in coarse Cloth Monk's Robe, carrying a large Cloth bag, looking simple and honest.
It was none other than Buke Buzha, the master who had met Mu Jinyu once before and had summoned the Gatling Bodhisattva to help the Ghost-Faced Demon with its transcendence.
"Amitabha, Dragon King, it's been a while," he said.
When Buke Buzha caught sight of Mu Jinyu, his eyes also brightened, and he hurried toward him.
Taking two steps at a time, he quickly reached Mu Jinyu's side and asked, "Dragon King, do you know the situation inside?"
Mu Jinyu shook his head and replied, "I haven't gone in to investigate yet, but according to Mr. Li, there are at least thirty demons inside. So we should wait until everyone arrives before going in together. By the way, master, where is your master?"
Buke Buzha's master was none other than the Buddha Head known as Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, the Victorious Buddha.
Buke Buzha said, "My master is still on his way, so he specifically asked me to come over to help."
"I see," Mu Jinyu glanced at the large Cloth bag Buke Buzha was carrying and said, "You have brought the Gatling Bodhisattva, haven't you?"
Buke Buzha nodded and responded, "Given the circumstances, the Gatling Bodhisattva is naturally needed to preside over the situation; otherwise, even I wouldn't dare to come!"
"That's excellent," Mu Jinyu said, also remembering the special Gatling he had instructed Mu Hongchen to make a few days ago, wondering if it had been completed yet.
While they were still waiting for others to arrive, it was a good time to ask Mu Hongchen.
Mu Jinyu took out his phone and quickly called Mu Hongchen.
"Hello, Dragon Master? How's the situation at your end?" Mu Hongchen answered the call, her tone laced with concern.
Mu Jinyu said, "We haven't started the investigation yet, but the situation doesn't look good. By the way, Aunt Mu, how are those Gatlings I asked you to custom-make for me the other day?"
Mu Hongchen paused for a moment and then said, "Let me check, Dragon Master, please hold on."
She took out another phone, made a call, asked a few questions, then hung up and told Mu Jinyu, "Dragon Master, a hundred special-designed Gatlings were ordered, but only about ten have been completed so far. Do you want them all delivered?"
"Yeah, send them all, and hurry, please. Oh, and also bring all the Protective talismans I had planned to distribute to others," Mu Jinyu thought for a moment and then said.
"Alright, I'll arrange it now."
After hanging up, Mu Jinyu put away his phone, then took out four Protective talismans from his pocket. These magic artifacts, which he had crafted himself, could withstand three attacks from the Knocking Ghost or Nursery Rhyme Witch.
He handed them to Buke Buzha, saying, "Master, take these for now. These talismans can resist three attacks from a Rank Four Demon. If the Buddha Head doesn't arrive in time and the demons act out, having these talismans will give you extra self-protection."
"Amitabha, thank you, Dragon King," Buke Buzha said, accepting the Protective talismans without hesitation, then smiled at Mu Jinyu with his palms together.
"No need for thanks."
Mu Jinyu, holding the other two talismans, then went and handed them to Li Yaotong, saying, "Mr. Li, you take these as well. It's better to have more self-protection."
"Alright," Li Yaotong didn't refuse and reached out with a smile to take them.
Then...
The two Gold Inlaid with Jade Protective talismans exploded with a bang as soon as they touched Li Yaotong's fingers!
Mu Jinyu: "???"
