Shen Luo glanced around and found that it was pitch black and quiet. He did not see the black vortex that had sucked him in before. He only felt as if he was floating in a void.
"Come here."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from a distance.
Shen Luo turned around when he heard the sound and saw a faint light in the dark space not far behind him.
He walked slowly towards that direction and gradually saw clearly that in that corner, there was an old man sitting cross-legged with tattered clothes and exuding the aura of death.
"Buddha..." Shen Luo called out tentatively.
"Your weapon is quite good. It is comparable to the Ruyi Jingu Bang of the Fighting Buddha." said the old man.
Shen Luo walked closer and saw that the old man was holding his Zhenhai iron rod in his hand and stroking it gently.
The old man was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
However, unlike the kind-looking old monk who was emitting white light all over his body that he saw in his sea of consciousness, the old man in front of him was in tatters, and although there was still some light on his body, it was as faint as the glow of a firefly.
“Bodhisattva, you…” Shen Luo said slowly, looking at the dying Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"The body of this immortal Buddha has long been decayed. He hid in the body of Xu Kun just to avoid being hunted by demons and to linger on for a while." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva handed the Zhenhai iron stick back to Shen Luo and said with a smile.
"Buddha, since you are not dead, why don't you contact Zhenyuan Daxian and the others? It is better than staying here alone and being devoured by Xu Kun?" Shen Luo squatted down, took the long stick and put it away, then asked.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I just can't. That traitor is still hiding in the resistance teams of both the human and immortal races. If I return rashly, it will inevitably bring them a catastrophe, and the hope of sealing Chiyou and restoring the way of heaven will be shattered." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head and said bitterly.
"Traitor?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
“Yes, the underworld back then was actually not that vulnerable. Because of that traitor, half of the Ten Kings of Hell were either harmed or instigated by him, and they were already seriously injured before they went to fight the demons. Later, due to his extradition, the defense line set up by the underworld was easily breached, until the entire underworld was breached and the resistance forces were completely wiped out.” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this, without much hatred in his eyes, only compassion.
Shen Luo recalled the tragic scene in Wuzhuang Temple and immediately understood.
The fact that Wuzhuang Temple was breached with the presence of Zhenyuan Daxian and the participation of Bull Demon King and his men was probably the work of the traitor.
"Buddha, who is that traitor?" Shen Luo asked hurriedly.
"To be honest, I can only guess at that man's identity, but I can't confirm it. He once attacked me personally, but he used the magical powers of the demon clan. I originally thought he was a member of the demon clan, but Di Ting discovered the clue and told me that the man should be from the immortal clan. Unfortunately, Di Ting died in the battle before his identity was confirmed." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed.
"Buddha, even if it's just a guess, you should tell everyone so that everyone can be on guard." Shen Luo felt a little flustered when he thought that the guy was very likely still with Niu Mowang and the others, and Nie Caizhu was also there.
