Before long, the White Robe Venerable stepped onto a white staircase and slowly ascended to the highest point of the temple. At the same time, the door of the white pagoda at the top slowly opened, revealing a statue inside.
The statue stood six to seven meters tall, with most of its body made of white jade. It had fangs protruding from its mouth and a ferocious face, and it possessed twelve arms. What was most terrifying was that each hand held a mangled human body part.
Some held organs like hearts, livers, and intestines, while others clutched limbs like hands, feet, and thighs. The two hands in the center were clasped together in a gesture of benevolence and compassion, yet in the palms was a bloody human head.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath, certain that this was no benevolent deity, but a bloodthirsty sinister god.
After paying homage to this sinister god, the White Robe Venerable turned and walked toward a bronze tripod furnace at the side of the deity statue.
