Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 404: Sacred lamp

It didn’t seem like there was a limit to the power increase of the demonic cultivators and the demons.

With the way that their aura surged, it was almost as if they would continue to grow in power as long as they were soaked in the scarlet rain.

Of course, that didn’t mean that they were able to reach the level that Lin Fan and the lackeys were at. There was only so much power that they could gain from the scarlet rain alone.

So even if we were surrounded, it didn’t seem like there was anything that they could do.

The attacks of the demonic cultivators and the demons were still all stopped by the golden barrier and they were cut down by the attacks of the lackeys. The only problem was how many of them there were.

It didn’t seem like they were disappearing even after cutting down so many of them.

It seemed like there really was no end to them.

At the same time, it seemed that the people around were starting to disappear.

The cultivators from the smaller sects and mercenary groups seemed to back down when they were being pushed by these demonic cultivators and demons. So that meant that more and more of them were being freed to attack our group.

In a sense, it seemed that we had turned ourselves into bait for the others.

We were now taking the attention of the demonic cultivators and demons so that they were able to escape.

It didn’t seem like there was anything that we could do until...

"A supplementary item has been released to help complete the mission."

The system suddenly said in my mind.

I was caught off guard by this, but I could guess why the system had suddenly released something like this.

That was because I had been planning on asking the system for help in the first place.

I could see that there didn’t seem to be a solution to this, so I could only ask the system for help.

When I saw what the system released, a faint smile appeared on my lips.

Without any hesitation, I pulled out the item and raised it high up so that the light of this item could reach everything in the surrounding area.

The moment that this item appeared, there was this strange phenomenon that happened.

It was a lamp that I had pulled out of the system’s inventory.

The light of this lamp shined on the surrounding area and seemed to burn away the scarlet rain that was falling. However, it didn’t burn the scarlet rain in the sense that it was evaporating the rain with its light.

Rather, the way that the scarlet rain disappeared was almost as if it was being purified by the light of the lamp. It was as if the light of the lamp was some kind of sacred light that completely destroyed the scarlet rain that was caught in its surroundings.

It wasn’t just the scarlet rain alone that was affected by the light of the lamp.

At the same time, whenever the demonic cultivators and demons felt the light of the lamp fall on them, they suddenly started to burn. It was a strange kind of being burnt where there seemed to be this red smoke that came from them when they were hit by the light.

It was as if the energy from the scarlet rain was being burnt out of them by the light of the lamp.

In a sense, it was almost as if they were being exorcised by the light of this lamp like it was some kind of sacred object.

That made the demonic cultivator and demons unwilling to approach Lin Fan’s group.

That gave them a bit of breathing room as the lackeys turned back to look at the lamp that was in my hand.

As they looked at this lamp, I could guess what they were thinking, but I didn’t explain anything to them in the end. I just calmly looked forward and said, "Let’s go."

After saying this, I started moving forward with the lamp in hand.

As I moved forward, the barrier and the light of the lamp moved with me, so the lackeys really had no choice but to follow me.

Wherever the light of the lamp went, the demonic cultivators and demons moved away as if they were scared of the light. At the same time, if the demonic cultivators and demons tried to attack us, the golden barrier would block all of the attacks that they sent.

So they weren’t able to stop us at all as we moved forward.

Just like this, the tide had been turned once more and we were the ones that were in charge. It didn’t matter if they surrounded me since they weren’t able to do a single thing to us.

The demonic cultivators and demons looked at us with strange looks.

The way that they looked at us was as if they really wanted to do something to stop us, but there was nothing that they could do. But it wasn’t just normal motivation that seemed to make them want to stop us.

It was almost as if they had received some kind of order to stop us.

I had already suspected this when the succubus had been sent to attack me in the middle of the night.

I had guessed that the invader already was aware of my existence and was building up defenses against me.

This invader was completely different from the other ones that isolated themselves.

This one seemed to have installed itself with an organization of this world and could collect information.

This was completely different from the others that just chose to develop their own power and attack this world.

So it wasn’t strange if they were on guard against me.

I was just curious just how much they had prepared to deal with me and just how much they knew about me...
