As they pushed open the mottled vermilion door, a damp and sour smell suddenly poured out of the hall. They took a few steps back and covered their noses as they frowned. The light in the hall was dim, therefore they could not see the interior clearly. However, they could vaguely see a two-meter-tall Buddha statue in the middle of the hall.

As they approached the door of the hall, they suddenly felt a cold breeze from the hall. Susie shuddered and stopped in front of the door.

Following that, Fade could not help but ask, "Why don't you go in, Sister Song?"

Susie kept quiet. Instead, she rummaged through her bag and finally, she took out a black bracelet. She put her palms together devoutly and bowed to the hall. Next, she put on the bracelet and walked into the hall.

Fade chuckled when he saw this, "Sister Song, didn't you say that you don't believe in ghosts and gods? Why are you still..."

Susie touched the bracelet and replied, "My friend gave this bracelet to me. A monk gave it to her and she specifically told me to bring this bracelet with me when I come here. It can bless me."

Upon finishing that, she noticed the disbelieved looks on his face and she added, "It doesn't matter whether it can bless me or not. It's the thought that counts. Besides, bringing a string of Buddha beads is also a kind of respect when visiting the Buddha."

After that, Fade did not pester. He shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "Sister Song, please go in. I'll wait for you outside."

Susie nodded and walked into the hall.

This was the arrangement they had over the last few days. Fade would wait outside while she visited the places.

When Susie arrived at a venue, she would wander around as she quietly gathered her thoughts to find inspiration. She would need some peace and quiet, so Fade would usually just wait somewhere nearby. However, Fade was about to turn and find a place to sit in the courtyard when he suddenly noticed the black Buddha beads suddenly glimmered in Susie's wrist and exuded a dark light.

The dark light turned into smoke and entered Susie her body through her mouth and nose as she inhaled.

However, she did not notice anything. She walked into the main hall and she placed her hands together to pray quietly.

Fade frowned when he noticed this and he turned to follow her into the main hall.

Susie, who had been worshiping the Buddha silently, heard the footsteps behind her. She turned around and spotted Fade walking in. "Brother Fade, why did you come in? Do you want to pray too?" she asked.

Meanwhile, Fade walked into the hall with a solemn expression.

He felt a cold breeze the moment he stepped into the hall and the temperature in the hall was much lower than it was outside.

It was not the temperature that one could not feel with one's body but it was a spiritual type of cold.

"Something's wrong. There's really something wrong with this temple," Fade uttered. Concurrently, Fade recalled what the elder in the village said before they went up the hill.

Without warning, Fade pulled Susie to his side and warned, "Sister Song, follow me and don't go away."

On the other hand, Susie was confused and curious when she saw Fade's expression. "Fade, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" she could not help but asked.

Fade grabbed Susie with one hand and searched the hall as he attempted to find the source of the strange feeling. At the same time, he replied, "There is something wrong with this temple."

Susie could not help but tremble as she heard this and a strange look flashed across her face. Immediately, she seemed to recall something and said, "Brother Fade, don't joke around. I'm not afraid..." Susie mentioned that she was not afraid but she could not help but remember what the elder at the foot of the hill had said. Following that, she moved closer to Fade.

Fade shook his head and replied solemnly, "Sister Song, I'm not kidding."

At the same time, Fade fixed his eyes on the two-meter-tall Buddha statue in the center of the hall.

The Buddha statue was made of clay with crude workmanship. The patterns on the surface of the statue were mottled from age. There were even cracks on some parts of the statue and one could vaguely see the hollow interior of the statue.

Following that, Fade felt a cold black aura emanate from the statue and drifted into the hall.

It was chilly and one would tremble when the aura entered the body.

Furthermore, this black aura was very similar to the black smoke that was emitted from Susie's bracelet.

Immediately, he grabbed Susie's wrist as he thought of this and said, "Sister Song, give me your bracelet."

"Fade, what are you doing? My friend gave me this bracelet. If you like it, I'll give it to you later..." Susie replied.

Fade shook his head and explained, "There's something wrong with your bracelet."

As he spoke, Fade took the bracelet off her wrist.

Susie was dissatisfied. Following that, Fade held her hand quietly to send positive energy into her body before pointing to the bracelet and said, "Do you see it?"

The positive energy entered her body and lingered around her eyes. Susie's vision suddenly became brighter and she started to notice things that she never paid attention to.

For example, the bracelet resting in Fade's palm was currently emitting black smoke and it was very creepy.

"This black smoke is..." Susie was shocked and she looked horrified.

Next, Fade pointed at the Buddha statue and instructed, "Look over there!"

Susie raised her head and spotted the thick black aura that the clay sculpture was emitting as well. Moreover, the aura from the Buddha statue and the aura from the bracelet lingered and blended together before rushing toward Susie's body.

However, before the clouds could enter Susie's body, Fade gently fanned it with his palm and a red aura burst out of his palm to sweep it away.

Susie was dumbfounded and her face was full of disbelief when she saw it.

After a few seconds, she finally came to her senses. She glanced at Fade and asked, "What's that black smoke? What's going on?"

"Let's talk outside," Fade replied and pulled her out of the hall.

Following that, Fade studied the bracelet and explained, "The bracelet and the black smoke on the Buddha are universe energies."

"Universe energies?" she repeated and stared at him in confusion.

Fade explained in detail, "You know about martial artists, right?"

As a famous celebrity, Susie had several Black Level bodyguards, thus she naturally knew about martial artists.
