Actually, the statue of the Evil God lied.

It doesn't need the Soul Artifacts of the Twenty-Eight Constellations at all.

All it needs is the soul of one Tier Eight expert or the souls of ten Tier Seven experts to break a part of the seal.

It is testing Master Zhishen's obedience.

To see if he is truly useful to it, that is the purpose of the statue of the Evil God.

"But the Twenty-Eight Constellations are at the First Layer of Roshomon, are we really going to let them in?"

Master Zhishen then posed such a question.

"No problem."

"Let them wait for a while, at this moment, I also need to prepare properly."

"Withdraw for now, don't disturb me, I need to plan carefully."

The statue of the Evil God gave Master Zhishen a meaningful glance and then slowly closed its eyes.

The entire statue of the Evil God suddenly fell silent, and the Soul Fire floating in the air quietly extinguished.

The entire secret chamber became incredibly dark, and Master Zhishen knelt in the darkness for a long time before he slowly stood up, flexing his slightly stiff muscles.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Master Zhishen could sense that his earlier answer had satisfied the Evil God.

So the Evil God retracted the strand of Divine Sense left on him.

The Evil God would never know that he cultivated the Ten Dragons and Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Skill.

This Cultivation Technique requires absorbing the power of demons to temper one's body.

With the strength of his body, Master Zhishen reached Tier Seven.

So Master Zhishen's contracted Pet Beasts were only three.

The Vajra Demon-Subduing Staff (Zen Staff), the Eighteen Layers of Hell Evil Spirits, and the Demon Spirit Cloak.

However, after reaching Tier Seven, Master Zhishen found that ordinary demons were of no use to him.

Thus, he had a very bold idea: to let a more powerful demon directly parasitize his body.

But where to find a powerful demon?

By this time, Master Zhishen was already the Director of Bureau 750.

Through ancient records, he discovered that deep within Bureau 750, there might be an extremely powerful demon hidden.

Thus, he was willing to pay any price, even defy Marshal Qilin's orders, to break the demon's seal and release it.

This is the origin of the statue of the Evil God.

At first, he was indeed bewitched by the Evil God, becoming its puppet.

At this time, the Ten Dragons and Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Skill gradually absorbed the demonic qi of the Evil God, tempering Master Zhishen's body.

This allowed Master Zhishen to regain clarity for a period, enabling him to arrange some private matters.

As time went on, the longer Master Zhishen remained clear-minded, he also relied on the demonic qi of the Evil God to break through, becoming a Tier Seven intermediate Pet Beast Master.

This time, Master Zhishen deliberately calculated the plan.

He was eager to rid himself of the Evil God's control and hoped that the incoming Twenty-Eight Constellations would be dealt with by the Evil God.

In this way, Master Zhishen would have ample reason to let the National Pillar or even the Five Spirit Marshal take action.

After all, he managed Bureau 750 in an impenetrable manner, and with the Twenty-Eight Constellations dead, there would be no evidence against him.

He would be the one to laugh last.

Even though Marshal Qilin had grown suspicious of him, Master Zhishen knew well that without concrete evidence, Marshal Qilin couldn't touch him.

This was a plan that killed multiple birds with one stone.

Master Zhishen left, walking away steadily.

At this moment, the green Soul Fire densely filled the entire secret chamber once more.

The statue of the Evil God slowly opened its eyes again, "Zhishen, it seems you have shown your tail."

"Hmph, even though I have been asleep for so long, it doesn't mean I will so easily accept being schemed against."

"In truth, I didn't tell the truth. The Myriad Dragon Slash indeed greatly suppresses me, but over the millennia, the energy on the Myriad Dragon Slash has mostly disappeared."

"As long as I devour enough powerful experts, I can shake apart part of the Myriad Dragon Slash and recover part of my strength."

"It's just, why do I feel a vague sense of unease?"

"Clearly, I'm about to escape, and those coming are merely the Twenty-Eight Constellations; this base has a total of eight Tier Seven Pet Beast Masters."

"What could go wrong?"

The Evil God had only heard of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, it did not know their peculiarities.

It believed that three Tier Seven Pet Beast Masters would surely be able to stop Ye Bai and others.

If they couldn't, others would also step in.

The upper echelon of Bureau 750 had already become utterly corrupt, and the arrival of the Twenty-Eight Constellations with the Imperial Sword made them feel a lurking fear.

"Now, there aren't many who can wield the Myriad Dragon Slash."

"This means I can soon break free, and the world will once again be plunged into my chaos and storms."

"Even gods are merely my food."

At this moment, as Ye Bai walked, he suddenly noticed the Candle Dragon Spirit emerging from the Pet Beast Space.

It circled once in the air, floating midair.

"Candle Dragon Spirit, is there perhaps something here that interests you?"

Ye Bai asked the Candle Dragon Spirit.

The Candle Dragon Spirit wavered a few times midair in response to Ye Bai's inquiry.

It instantly transformed into seven Myriad Dragon Slashes and an Ancient Bronze Sword, shooting towards the underground.

Leaving only the Yin Yang Carp swirling around Ye Bai.

"Ah."

Ye Bai reached out his Er Kang hand, not stopping the Ancient Bronze Sword's direction.

They directly pierced through the ground, leaving a shallow pit.

"It seems there is something here that attracts the Candle Dragon Spirit."
