Chapter 306: 171, 172. Secretly Control Dashang, No One Can Rival Shou (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

The voice from the urn uttered, "Join the Xiao Family, and I’ll spare your life."

The Demon-subduing Arhat was almost at the point of his soul flying away and scattering, where would he dare to utter a "no", and hurriedly started to write with his hand.

Only when the name ’Demon-subduing Arhat’ appeared on the placard did Song Cheng spit him out.

The Arhat lay on the ground, his ghostly soul as if gravely injured, being torn so much that he was "flayed and fleshy."

Song Cheng then proceeded to question him, beginning to trace the vine to catch the remaining two people.

...

...

Half a month later.

Yan Muyi was captured...

This Sword Immortal had no choice but to join the Xiao Family as well.

...

...

Another half month.

’Elder Ancestor Rabbit of the Ji Family’ Feng Tianshi was killed.

The first half of the process was exactly the same, with Song Cheng, under the guidance of the ’Guide Party,’ searching everywhere for Feng Tianshi’s possible hiding places, and after finding him, first tormenting him half to death before leading him into the Xiao Family to "sign his name."

But the latter half was somewhat different, as Feng Tianshi became mad, his Divine Soul’s facial expressions changing unpredictably, at times human, at times a dragon, at times a shattered elephant, and from his mouth came the strange "ao ao" elephant cries.

After that, an energy that attacked the soul wildly radiated from his entire body, attempting to seriously injure Song Cheng, and then he was killed, his soul flying away and scattering.

Song Cheng searched for his true self hidden in the ice coffin.

Even though his soul had flown away and scattered, his true self looked as alive as before, even if removed from the ice coffin and abandoned in the wilderness, it was able to ward off insects and decay, and could remain undecayed for months.

Because this ice coffin was in the Imperial Capital, Song Cheng did not take it with him but slightly changed the hiding place, waiting for his future arrival in the Imperial Capital to retrieve and study it...

From the interrogations of Yan Muyi and Demon-subduing Arhat, more information about the destruction of the Greenbird Continent was obtained, and their motives for stirring chaos in the world... were exactly the same as what Xiao Cibei had said.

Before his realization, Song Cheng thought these puppeteers were high and mighty, capable of stirring up storms, but after seeing through and even capturing them, Song Cheng felt a sense of "So... they were just desperately struggling to survive."

Puppeteers? Layout? Nonexistent.

This scheme of thousands of years was only for the sake of survival, all just to prevent the reappearance of the Ghost River.

By manipulating the chaos to move Yin and Yang, sending the fragmented Yin Qi into the canals, and then deliberately cultivating a great ghost in sequence to finally send into the Blue Sea...

This great ghost is now naturally the Drowning Ghost.

But the Drowning Ghost is still in the process of digestion, after all... the fusion of a ghost is really too slow.

So, after going in circles, the real enemy turns out not to be a person but... nature, the environment, the catastrophe that is getting worse and worse and is beyond resolution.

Even though Song Cheng had already subdued Yan Muyi, Demon-subduing Arhat, and Xiao Cibei as his subordinates, he still needed to face this problem.

Catastrophe...

"Have your people cooperate with King Zhao, and stabilize the situation of the world again," Song Cheng commanded.

After giving this order, Song Cheng then left the Yin Residence of the Xiao Family and returned to the An Residence...

...

...

Song Cheng either didn’t leave home, or when he did, it was by the month.

Returning home, he looked for Sister An and roughly told her what he had done that month.

Of all his women, Sister An was the most reliable.

At this moment, An Chenyu patiently listened to his activities of the month; her expression was surprised yet moderated ever since she knew her man had Dual Souls and was Emperor Monarch Xuanwu, she had been quickly accepting this reality.

In the event of a bad hand, there’s no need for shock.

In the event of a good hand, there’s no need for chaos.

"Do you still remember Su Houzhang?" An Chenyu suddenly asked.

Song Cheng nodded and said, "Sister An, are you suggesting that people like Yan Muyi were also bewitched by some evil spirit, mistakenly believing that by initiating the chaos and excavating the canals, they were averting a future disaster of the Ghost River... but in fact, they were just lured by the evil spirit?"

"Isn’t the elephant mask a clue left by the person who lured them?" An Chenyu, who knew nothing about the Mystic Realm, was merely following logic to speculate, "Such a bizarre mask, it is right for the husband not to wear it. But we could find some people to test it... convicted criminals, Ghost Servants, even... animals."

In the candlelit night, Song Cheng gazed at the thoughtful expression on his wife’s face opposite him, and he couldn’t help but start thinking too.

Animal masks?

Where had he encountered such a thing?

Shortly, several words flashed through his mind.

’Leopard Woman’, ’Mysterious Doctor’, ’Extreme Joy World’...

Thinking about it, he did find it very similar.

In the Extreme Joy World, that Mysterious Doctor hoped to tame humans into beasts, then change them from the soul into monsters, which was quite similar to wearing masks on the Divine Soul.

And before leaving, a casually administered Pill that could make one lucid had created a ’Human Skin Ghost’.

Song Cheng felt like he was probably not a match for that physician.

But what was that physician?

A person?

Or a ghost?

Or something else?

He had no idea.

The night was endless, and for a moment, a hazy panic surfaced in his heart.

Even though he had conquered all the visible forces, the more he understood, the greater the darkness he encountered...

"Sister An, let’s not test the masks for now; let’s move to the Imperial Capital earlier, before this wave of Ghost Tide arrives.

After all, there are many people in the Imperial Capital, and the Yang Qi is strong... there, it would be hard even if you wanted to see ghosts and goblins."

An Chenyu spoke softly, "I’ll listen to you."

After speaking, she whispered, "I’m almost thirty, and if it’s much longer, I’m afraid I’ll want to settle down completely somewhere... Moving to the Imperial Capital now is also good."

Talking about thirty, it was only then that Song Cheng noticed Sister An’s beautiful face had lost the water spirit from when they first met and had gained some of the unique vicissitudes of a maturing woman. If a young girl’s skin was like a honey peach, then now Sister An’s skin was obviously starting to show extremely fine slackness.
