Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

”Mom!!”

Seeing this scene, Boss Hann hurriedly called out, but just at that moment, a golden radiance suddenly emanated from around the elderly figure, and then she slowly descended to the ground.

”Mom, are you all right?”

At this moment, Boss Hann also quickly ran to the elder’s side, looking at her with concern, and the still-frightened elder shook her head.

”Mom’s fine, Mom’s doing well... What was that just now...?”

However, before the elder could finish her words, a golden light emerged, and then the talisman Fang Zheng had given them earlier flew out of the elder’s bosom, transforming into a golden radiance that shot straight toward the West.

”Young Master Fang? Young Master Fang, what on earth is this...?”

Seeing this, both of them were taken aback, and they hurriedly turned around to look behind them, only to find themselves stunned — Fang Zheng had already vanished without a trace behind them.

Got you!

At the same time, Fang Zheng transformed into a gust of wind, fixating his gaze on the demon aura ahead. He had guessed that the opponent would inevitably make a move; after all, someone like Boss Hann who had just been brainwashed into a pyramid scheme had a will that was not very strong and was quite susceptible to being swayed. So, someone would surely be watching, ready to react at the first sign of trouble.

And now it seems that this was indeed the case!

Meanwhile, the opponent was also quite alert, immediately turning to flee upon noticing something amiss. However, unfortunately for them, once Fang Zheng got his eyes on it, escaping was not an option.

But Fang Zheng found this demon aura rather unusual.

It was somewhat akin to a mix of demon aura and incense offerings, akin to the offspring of mixed ethnicities, much like a child of Black and White parentage. If you used ”Black” and ”White” as comparisons, this mixed child would stand out, but if you compared them solely with ”human,” they would be almost unrecognizable.

This aura was much the same; it mingled with human will power and incense offerings, going undetected, only to emit a trace of demon aura during spontaneous reactions. If not for Fang Zheng, not even this trace would be noticeable.

But for Fang Zheng now, once discovered, it was not getting away!

The demon aura swiftly crossed mountains and waters, reaching the depths of a nearby forest. However, at that moment, a few more demon auras suddenly erupted and surged, enclosing the target. In such circumstances, escaping was no longer a wise choice, so the demon aura hovered briefly before landing, transforming into a Nine-Colored Deer with white antlers.

Meanwhile, three other demon auras swooped down, encircling it tightly.

”Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox appeared cheerfully in the middle, fixing her gaze on the Nine-Colored Deer before her. On either side of her, a gigantic Golden-Eyed White Tiger and a huge entirely pitch-black black wolf also emerged from the left and right, respectively, observing the Nine-Colored Deer as if attempting to capture prey.

”Can I eat it?”

The White Tiger opened its bloody maw, emitting a low growl, while the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox flicked her tail.

”I advise against it; His Majesty said this thing is made from unknown elements, and what if you get a stomach ache from eating it? It would be truly laughable if you started eating grass one day, truly laughable.”

”Roar ———!!”

The White Tiger was evidently displeased with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s mockery, roaring angrily at her, while fixing its attention back on the Nine-Colored Deer before it.

”Let’s not waste any more time; just capture this monster and hand it over to His Majesty for judgment!”

The Black Wolf obviously did not care for the quarrel between the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and the White Tiger, solely focused on the limbs of the Nine-Colored Deer, pondering how to approach and bite them off.

”—————!”

The Nine-Colored Deer was also aware of the unfavorable situation, suddenly lowering its head as its white antlers emitted a dazzling golden radiance, which swiftly expanded outward!

”The boundless universe, Samadhi Fire!”

However, these three Great Demons were not to be trifled with. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox opened her mouth and spit forth a Samadhi Fire, forming a swirling fireball that shot forward, colliding with the Nine-Colored Deer’s radiant shield. Simultaneously, the White Tiger roared furiously, and a heavenly thunderbolt suddenly struck down, becoming a sharp blade that landed beside the Nine-Colored Deer.

A gust of dark wind rose from the ground, enveloping everything in its path, and swiftly surrounded the Nine-Colored Deer. But the Nine-Colored Deer was not easy prey, and with a shout, its entire body emanated golden light as it charged toward the dark wind barrier controlled by the Black Wolf. With a scream, the Nine-Colored Deer used all its might to break through the barrier and dashed out.

”Trying to escape?”

Seeing this, the White Tiger widened its eyes in anger, and with a thundering purple lightning bolt that struck the white antlers of the Nine-Colored Deer, sending it flying.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was also somewhat exasperated.

”Don’t let it slip away; His Majesty wants it alive!”

”We know it should be captured alive, but the deer doesn’t know that!”

The White Tiger retorted, then leapt down again with a roar, charging toward the Nine-Colored Deer that had been struck to the ground.

”I’ll bite off its legs and see how it runs!”

Saying this, the White Tiger reached the Nine-Colored Deer, pinning down the struggling deer body with a paw and opening its jaws, but just at that moment......

”Amitabha!”

The sound of a Buddhist chant echoed like a great bell, followed by a beam of golden light that penetrated the black storm manipulated by the Black Wolf, shining directly toward the Nine-Colored Deer. The White Tiger, unfazed, lifted its head and roared, unleashing a lightning storm all over its body and fiercely charging at the golden light!

”Boom!!”

The two sides collided, and the White Tiger flew backward, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

”You idiot!”

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox hastily rushed to the White Tiger’s side.

”Just learned the art of the Heavenly Thunder Command and already trying to show off? Tired of living?”

”Shut up! I didn’t know that guy would be so strong!”

The White Tiger retorted angrily and looked ahead again. At this moment, the golden light had landed beside the Nine-Colored Deer and transformed into a figure wearing a robe and a white veil. It held one hand on its chest, the other outstretched, with eyes half-open, half-closed, calmly watching the three Great Demons.

”Amitabha...”

In a low chant, the figure closed its eyes.

”Guanzi Zai is like the True God, dear benefactors, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back is the shore.”

”So you are the master of this Demon Deer?”

”Indeed.”

Facing the inquiry, the figure slightly bowed its head.

”This humble monk is the Bodhisattva Guanyin. Having learned of my disciple’s plight, I came specifically to help. I implore you to show mercy and spare my disciple’s life.”

”Despicable creature, trying to cause disruption in the Han Territory, and now asking for mercy?”

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sneered, staring at Guanyin.

”I couldn’t care less whether you’re some bodhisattva or not. Daring to spread misleading words and act high-handed in the Han Territory, you must think little of us Han demons.”

”This is all due to my poor teaching, many apologies, many apologies.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin clasped its hands again and bowed its head.

”This deer has listened to my teachings for over thirty years, having developed Spirit Wisdom. It ventured out to spread the teachings for the sake of sentient beings, although there are missteps, its original intent is good. I ask you to be generous...”

”Your words sound better than a song.”

The Black Wolf snorted coldly.

”This demon has caused chaos in the human world, spreading Evil Magic at the cost of harming mortals. Do you think a few words from you can make us stop? It’s not that easy!”

”Then what do you intend?”

Upon hearing this, the Bodhisattva remained indifferent, without joy or anger, merely watching the three Great Demons and softly asked.

”Simple, capture and deliver to the emperor for punishment.”

In response to the Bodhisattva’s question, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox smiled slightly.

”But right now... we have caught a big fish!”

”Boom!!”

Before the words of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had fully fallen, a blaze of fire suddenly descended from the sky, revealing Fang Zheng within, tightly gripping a Pitch Black Greatsword, slicing down toward the Bodhisattva Guanyin from above!

Seeing that the newcomer meant harm, Guanyin was greatly astonished and quickly retreated. At the same time, a flip of the hand revealed the Pure Jade Bottle, which was thrown forward. Several drops of nectar flew out from the Pure Jade Bottle, transforming into a flood like mountain torrents in the blink of an eye. However, the next moment, before these waters could even touch the Primordial Fire, they swiftly evaporated, turning into thick clouds of steam in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, the Bodhisattva Guanyin stretched both hands, and in an instant, manifested various forms to suit different needs.

”Humph, trivial tricks!”

Watching this scene, Fang Zheng’s heart remained unmoved, as he was quite familiar with these tricks from the Buddhist deities in the World of the Immortal Sword. Guanyin can manifest thirty-two forms for teaching. Many of these are beings of boundless power, such as the often-appearing, well-known figures like Indra, the Deity of the East, Asura, etc., that can take form.

But, against a True God, even the Bodhisattva Guanyin is no match!

As the Bodhisattva prepared its thirty-two forms to oppose, Fang Zheng, without hesitation, swung his Greatsword, and in the next moment, silver-white armor and a fiery red cloak reappeared.

Then Fang Zheng raised the sword, swung it forward, and the world changed color.

The city of Lothric rose from the ground, and the Black Soul Ring hovered high in the sky. One by one, the Farron Knights of the Undead Squad emerged from the shadows, from battlefields and death. They held Greatswords, and their eyes glowed crimson, with fiery flames burning along the blades, illuminating the once dim world in a vivid red.

”Slay them!”

With Fang Zheng’s command, the army of the Undead Squad set out, charging directly at the Bodhisattva’s manifestations!
