Chapter 292: 163, 164. Dharma Aspect, Mysterious Turtle Swallows Arhat, Upcoming (Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters - Request for Subscription)_6
One more moment.
Bang!!!
The giant turtle spat out a mass of blood and flesh that could no longer be stitched together.
As for the Divine Soul, it was scattered to the winds under the pulling and assault of the Fox Fire, Round Light, Pure Lands, and the reappearing Twin Ghosts.
With the Mysterious Turtle gone, a man with a simple hat stood quietly at the entrance.
This man was Song Cheng.
He looked at the blood and flesh on the ground and sighed softly.
To be honest, he had only wanted to ask for some information, but the "Arhat" had started running at the sight of him, and ran very fast, forcing him to attack.
Once he attacked, he did not want to hold back, for who knew what further tricks an "Arhat" level being might have up its sleeve.
What if by holding back he gave rise to a disaster?
As for "Imprisoning the Divine Soul," that was not feasible either, because the "Arhat’s" Divine Soul was too strong to capture. And if he wasn’t careful, it could instantaneously escape to thousands of miles away.
That was why the current scene had unfolded.
"I originally wanted to ask something, but... never mind.
’I’ll just be more careful next time.’
Song Cheng surveyed the surroundings and saw an ice-coated coffin under the icicle-laden cave ceiling, but he did not intend to disturb it. After a brief search, he obtained some "paper" "Tricky Devices," but found nothing else of value.
...
...
"Yan Li?"
"Yan Li?!"
In the Yingui Residence, the remaining Divine Souls had waited for a long time, but the "Arhat" still had not returned.
Suddenly, everyone quieted down and began to realize what had happened.
"The north is becoming more and more dangerous..."
"How can that be? The Ghost Tide on this continent has just begun not long ago. Let’s not even talk about the Ghost River; even the Ghost Spring hasn’t appeared yet... And Yan Li was always alert to the movements of evil spirits, how could something happen to him?"
"But Yan Li hasn’t come back."
"He was contacting us from the land of the Ice Coffin. If he hasn’t shown up..."
A strange, eerie emotion enveloped the hearts of everyone present.
And the terrifying memories of a fractured continent overrun with demons, like a nightmare at midnight, reemerged forcefully, pressing down brutally on everyone’s hearts.
"In any case, we need to speed things up..."
"There’s not much time left."
"The matters with Zhao Hua should be concluded, the Six Towns should be wrapping up."
...
...
Song Cheng was not in a good mood.
The task had been botched.
Why did the Arhat run?
Was this the kind of quality expected from someone who had escaped from a destroyed continent?
Although the Arhat had died, he still had to continue with the plan.
He was going to the Imperial Capital to see the Saint Heavenly Buddha.
However, he did not immediately set off, but returned to Hanping Village. Seeing that Sister An and Ling had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, he did not rush to inquire about the news from the Imperial Capital. Instead, he lit a lamp in Madam Tong’s room and brought out the Ruyi Jingu Bang. He had a fierce battle with Madam Tong in the bottomless pit of Trap Empty Mountain.
Under the scattering of golden light, the fairy begged for mercy.
Song Cheng embraced the pleading Madam and comfortably slept through the night.
The next day, he sought out Sister An to learn the news from the Imperial Capital.
It was then that he was taken aback by what he learned.
There was no significant news from the Imperial Capital, only that the Emperor named Ji Qin was under the control of King Zhao.
However, a major piece of intelligence had arrived from Feng State: Zhao Hua had won!
Mr. Xuxian from Six Towns was killed on the spot by Zhao Hua, and many of the scattered troops of Six Towns had been recruited by him.
As for the situation regarding the Noble Families, it had exceeded the investigative scope of the Yingui Association, hence it was unknown.
"It seems that Hua is truly going to become the emperor," An Chenyu said somewhat sarcastically. The man who used to call her "Sister-in-law An" had now climbed to such a status.
And she was still cooped up in Hanping Village, a place almost like a desolate island in the north.
An Chenyu felt very unbalanced internally. The armies that belonged to Hua were actually organized by her own man; how had they ended up helping Hua conquer the realm?
Song Cheng did not know how to comfort his wife at that moment, so he quickly went to the secret chamber, performed soul projection, and after a brief search, appeared somewhere in the Imperial Capital...
Ever since he had handed over the portrait of the "True Martial Emperor Monarch" to "Grand Tutor Qin Wanquan," he had been able to sense visualizations every day in the Imperial Capital... These visualizations must have been secretly conducted by the Pseudo-Profound Medicinal Humans.
Therefore, it was very easy for him to go to the Imperial Capital.
And being a being of Xuan-level B Perfection, Song Cheng’s manifesting Divine Soul could now display power that had reached the levels of his "Profound Level Grade D" phase, that is, "647-1294."
This strength, even if up against the Arhat’s True Self, was completely adequate.
Furthermore, with various Divine Soul attack methods "far beyond Profound Level Grade D," and Twin Ghosts reappearing, his strength was still nearly equivalent to "Xuan-level B," except that he could not use Dharma Aspect, the rest was not much different.
Thus, he had had the confidence that "even if True Self does not emerge, he could still explore the Holy Bright Temple."
Initially, if that Arhat could have posed some difficulty, he would have hesitated a bit.
But as it turned out, the Arhat pulling the strings from the north was annihilated by him in an instant...
What was there to hesitate about then?
...
At that moment, within a dark shrine in the Imperial Capital, a young boy and girl were stealthily praying, worshiping before a Mysterious Turtle painting hanging above the shrine.
Both the boy and the girl were dressed in fine clothes.
Song Cheng immediately possessed the boy.
With just a slight search, many of the boy’s memories emerged.
This boy was the offspring of a "Great Scholar" of the Imperial City, surnamed He, named Zhen. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
And that "Great Scholar" was just like "Grand Tutor Qin Wanquan," also eager to increase his lifespan and willingly became one of Song Cheng’s Medicinal Humans.
Because the residence of the "Great Scholar" was quite secluded, a group of Pseudo-Profound Medicinal Humans decided to set up the shrine of the "Emperor Monarch Xuanwu" there, and selected four good-looking clan members to rotate and pray day and night.
The girl beside him was a younger relative from the family of Qin Wanquan, named Qin Ru.
Seeing He Zhen suddenly stand up, Qin Ru looked at him in astonishment.
After Song Cheng possessed him and met the young girl’s gaze, he simply said, "Thank you," then straightaway walked to the door, opened it, briefly sensed his surroundings, and then detected the whereabouts of the Great Scholar.
He walked briskly, but saw an elegantly dressed scholarly man about to read in the morning light.
Song Cheng let out a slight aura.
The scholarly man immediately stood up, bowed, and respectfully said, "Great Scholar He Tu, at your service, my lord."
Song Cheng said, "Arrange it. Take me to the Holy Bright Temple."
He Tu hesitated for a moment, then said, "My lord, if you wish to meet Saint Heavenly Buddha, I’m afraid you will have to wait a few days... Because, as I suspect, Saint Heavenly Buddha may have gone on an expedition with King Zhao. It will take several days for him to return."
