Chapter 146: They Are Coming Back! (Please Subscribe)

To some, the alarmist talk of He Mao Chun Yi Lang was deliberately exaggerated, yet it truly struck a chord with many people.

It is true that human technology has continued to advance over these past few decades, but the frequency of major natural and man-made disasters has also been constantly rising.

Not to mention the "once in a millennium" or "once in ten thousand years" claims used to grab attention.

At the very least, in the few hundred years of recorded history, these extreme weather events are appearing more and more frequently now.

It is hotter when it is hot, and colder when it is cold.

Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are occurring one after another, causing countless heavy costs.

As the water resource crisis erupted, adding insult to injury, half of the grain-producing regions in the Flower Flag Country became desertified, while the other half turned into vast swamps.

Before the appearance of the extraordinary, all of this could be blamed on the geological movements and major climate cycles of Water Blue Star itself.

But after the appearance of the extraordinary.

Without a doubt, there was now one more target to shift the blame onto.

Even if no extraordinary individuals stepped forward to verify it, it could not stop busybodies from exercising their rich imaginations and attributing some of the natural disasters to extraordinary forces.

The appearance and subsequent actions of He Mao Chun Yi Lang were merely a disguised proof of this viewpoint.

Sakura Capital, inside the Kamo Clan's manor in the city.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang had almost become the master of the manor; although he had not yet succeeded as the clan head, he was already the person in the family whose word was law.

This Yin-Yang Master also adapted quite naturally to the sudden change in his status.

And he ordered the clan to bring out all their collections at the first opportunity.

"Trash, trash, and more trash!"

"Is this the foundation of my clan?"

"These so-called legacies of Grandmasters and collections of Old Ancestors—there isn't a single usable item among them!"

"Could it be that these aren't even genuine?"

He Mao Chun Yi Lang flicked his Qingyun-colored sleeves, stirring up a Wind Technique that made the skin of the several clan elders behind him twitch and their whole bodies shiver with cold.

They lowered their heads and complained bitterly, yet they dared not refute He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

After all, who didn't know nowadays that he was the only extraordinary one with talent, a true Yin-Yang Master!

And in the entire Sakura Capital, apart from him... not a second true extraordinary could be found!

If he said it was fake, then it must be fake!

He Mao Chun Yi Lang spent an afternoon taking inventory of the family's collections and books.

He finally recognized the fact that he could not find cultivation resources or correct mysterious knowledge in the mortal world.

Just when he had already planned to give up and was preparing to focus his energy on the upcoming Dharma Assembly.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang suddenly discovered something unusual from the clan head's thermos.

He extended his fair right hand and snatched it in one motion.

He actually took the thermos directly from the clan head's hands.

Then, after sniffing the tea aroma, He Mao Chun Yi Lang felt a jolt of spirit and said:

"What is going on with the tea inside this?"

"Wait, this is... a tea bag?"

"Speak! Where did you get this tea bag? I want all of them!"

He Mao Chun Yi Lang was somewhat excited, although the effect of the tea in this thermos on his current self was actually negligible.

But even the slightest bit was better than nothing!

The Kamo clan head did not dare to be slow and hurriedly recalled the origin of the tea bag.

It was not something he had bought, but a gift sent by an old friend in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom.

He had felt it was good after drinking it, so he had been drinking it for the past two days.

Now seeing He Mao Chun Yi Lang's reaction, how could the clan head not understand that this tea bag might be even better than he had thought!

Before long.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang learned the source of these tea bags through the family's network of connections; it was none other than Nierbo, which had been full of a mysterious atmosphere recently!

That was the place with the nickname "Country of Ten Thousand Fo."

At this moment, when the mysterious was clearly beginning to emerge and the great era was about to surge, it was quite reasonable for mysterious power to appear in this place first.

Only, as the investigation report became more detailed.

The organization providing the tea bags was pinpointed to the Eastern investors in Jiade City.

The profiles of the six merchants who were the first to invest in Jiade City, including Huang Zong, appeared on He Mao Chun Yi Lang's desk.

Some gossip about them was also dug up.

"Behind these six people, there must exist a true Mysterious Force, just like that fox-masked Shrine Maiden."

"Additionally... that exorcist family, the Yun Family, analyzing by the name, there is a high probability it is inseparable from the Eastern Ancient Kingdom side."

"They and that fox-masked Shrine Maiden must also have a friendly cooperative relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have come to send me off."

He Mao Chun Yi Lang speculated as he watched the latest video of Huang Zong and the others.

In the video, the chubby Huang Zong was performing a set of blade techniques on a live-streaming platform.

And was selling goods on the side.

The main product, the Health Tea Bag, had long been out of stock.

What was being sold were various small wooden ornaments produced by factories they invested in, which were rumored to have been blessed at temples, as well as agricultural products from Jiade City.

It seemed that because of the influence of the Health Tea Bag.

Out of love for the house and its crow, the sales of these agricultural products were also quite good.

It was just that if one had sharp eyes, one could see words like "the grain and oil are no different from ordinary ones" and "it's a scam" flashing by and disappearing in the comments.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang instructed the butler beside him to place an order for everything in Huang Zong's livestream room.

Afterward, he reviewed the performance clips of Huang Zong and those Registered Disciples.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted a few times as he said:

"These people must have all come into contact with a real Practice Method; whether they know magic, I do not know."

"But at the very least, they should be like me, having enhanced their five senses and no longer being mere mortals."

"That rumor in the grapevine, that a certain Registered Disciple was like a soldier king in a movie, defeating dozens of armed militants alone, is very likely true!"

"By the way, those who offended them probably didn't have a good ending, right?"

He Mao Chun Yi Lang suddenly thought of something, asked aloud, and quickly received an affirmative answer.

This could be considered a consensus judgment among various forces regarding the six people active in Nierbojiade City.

Everyone just hadn't paid attention at first, but once it was confirmed they were truly transcendent, deep digging into the details revealed the subtle connection between the six people of Huang Zong and the unlucky general.

That the unlucky general was killed as a warning to others because he offended the Mysterious Force behind Huang Zong and the others could naturally be guessed.

And then... there was no then.

Before being able to analyze just how deep the foundation of the Mysterious Force behind Huang Zong and the others was, and how they carried out their retaliation, or what the upper and lower limits were.

Tearing off the mask of civility was impossible.

Even if some big shot wanted to do something themselves, they could only have their own people do it; trying to drag others into it, in the current situation where everyone knows the score, actually turned into hell-level difficulty.

Especially in a place like Nierbo where everyone's interests are intertwined, ten percent of one's strength might not even be able to exert one percent.

After all, in the affairs of this world, it is often very difficult to accomplish things, but very simple to ruin them.

Aside from maintaining attention and sending people for friendly contact as much as possible, there are actually few small actions that everyone is willing to take.

And Huang Zong and the others seemed to have been prepared for this for a long time, treating all forces equally.

As long as they were willing to communicate peacefully, they welcomed them and were happy to sell their increasingly famous star product: health-preserving tea bags.

It's just that the production of these tea bags, as their fame grew, became increasingly insufficient to go around.

So much so that Huang Zong and the others came up with various routines like livestream flash sales and scheduled flash sales.

This caused headaches for the intelligence personnel stationed in Nierbo who wanted to earn some extra money on the side.

And with He Mao Chun Yi Lang also joining the flash-sale craze.

It was clear that the difficulty of snapping up the tea bags, which had received transcendent recognition, would increase further... and the intermediaries would therefore have the confidence to raise prices.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang put down the intelligence on Huang Zong and the others.

He looked at the information on the Morning Star Church in Bangzi Country.

Currently, the Morning Star Church has gained the support of many local big shots in Bangzi Country, with a strong trend of replacing the number one sect.

At the same time, he also noticed that the changes in the Morning Star Sect were related to that pair of priest brothers being captured after heading to Nierbo.

There were even intelligence personnel who boldly speculated that the Mysterious Force standing behind the Morning Star Church was very likely the same group as the Nierbojiade temple.

Even the Red Snake Sect, because it offended the Morning Star Church, then had its stronghold in Bangzi Country miserably attacked, and after the battle of magic failed.

Only then did that Sect Leader take a desperate risk, turning the entire temple into a demon's den and spreading the fire to Sakura Capital.

As for the fact that the Bone Giant was the Sect Leader of the Red Snake Sect, because it had been under surveillance, it was something everyone had confirmed from the very beginning.

"It is not necessarily the same group; it could also be cooperating transcendent forces."

He Mao Chun Yi Lang, after entering the Qi Refining stage, considered himself to have a discerning eye.

He could see that the Fox-Masked Shrine Maiden, the Exorcist Mage, and the original Bone Giant, along with those evil spirits.

Were all mysterious powers that were different from the very foundation.

Coupled with the Dharma Assembly and disaster warnings that the Fox-Masked Shrine Maiden asked him to handle.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang was more inclined to believe that the mysterious world had prophesied or sensed the arrival of some great change.

Therefore, they had to cooperate with each other and gradually reveal a corner of their mystery in the mortal world to obtain help and complete some auxiliary tasks.

And he, He Mao Chun Yi Lang, was fortunate to be a part of this plan.

He was contributing his own strength to save Sakura Capital, to save the entire Sakura Country, and even Human Civilization!

This sense of mission and responsibility made He Mao Chun Yi Lang feel good; after all, what young man hasn't fantasized about saving the world?

Not to mention that He Mao Chun Yi Lang came from a family of Yin-Yang Masters and had this kind of traditional education.

He was also deliberately hinting in this direction, showing those bureaucrats what a great cause he was working on.

So... he had to ask for more money; even if Sakura Capital couldn't add more, shouldn't these bureaucrats and the big landlords behind them give at least some money to support his righteous cause?

While He Mao Chun Yi Lang was thriving in Sakura Capital.

In the Pot Heaven, at the summit of the Burial Ground.

Because there had been many ordinary-quality buildings obtained from card draws recently.

Besides the Little Dark Room, there were a few newly decorated tile-roofed houses on the summit, and there was quite a bit of furniture inside.

After Huang Zong and the other six came to the Burial Ground once again.

They were led by ghosts to the main room for the first time.

Afterward, their eyes widened in surprise to find that in the room, there were two snake women, more charming and moving than big stars, who were cooking in the kitchen.

And they were serving as maids, pouring tea and serving dishes for everyone.

Shu Daoren sat at the head of the round table in the main room, and after letting everyone sit down, he said indifferently:

"Don't be nervous, they are just two pitiful snake women."

"I saw that they were pitiful and helpless, so I took them in. I usually let them handle some chores, which can be considered as bringing some vitality to my Burial Ground."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zong and the others lowered their heads, not daring to look again, but they complimented Shu Daoren on his compassion.

Yet in their hearts, they were shocked that there were truly demon women in this world!

Shu Daoren seemed to have seen through the little thoughts of these Registered Disciples.

After taking a sip of Spirit Tea, he said indifferently:

"Don't be so surprised; besides snake-women, there are also rabbit-women, cat-women, and even fox-women..."

"However, they are not the animals-turned-spirits you see in those storybooks."

"Animals that have become spirits are Demon Beasts, each more ferocious and massive than the last."

"The reason I say they are pitiful is that they are actually the tragic descendants born from failed products created by evil cultivators fusing the blood of Demon Beasts with mortal bodies."

"They are all poor souls born with defects!"

Amidst the sighing voice of Shu Daoren.

Huang Zong and the others fell into deep thought due to the massive amount of information contained within.

Demon women, Demon Beasts, evil cultivators, descendants of experimental products...

Hiss!

Why did they have absolutely no idea that such legends existed in the real world!

Given the current social environment, it would be impossible for such things to happen without leaving a trace, let alone such major events.

Could it be that these things never happened in the world they know?

Just how vast is the mysterious world they know nothing about!

Could it be! That there really exist massive Secret Realms where kings rule their own lands, and within them even live mortals who have never appeared in reality?

Su Ping, as the guest of Shu Daoren, treated Huang Zong and the other five to a meal of Demon Beast meat.

By the way, throughout the entire process, Su Ping specifically allowed Huang Zong to record it with equipment.

Except for Shu Daoren, who did not appear on camera.

The terrifyingly large skeletal frame of the Demon Beast, the details of the two snake-women's clothing and accessories, as well as various fruits and vegetables not found on Water Blue Star.

All appeared in the footage.

Huang Zong was very clear about what a huge impact the exposure of this video content would have on various forces in the outside world.

And what a great deal of speculation it would trigger!

After all, anyone who isn't a fool could deduce from the many details the terrifying conclusion that the mysterious circle is far, far larger than they had imagined.

However, since this was requested by his master.

As a Registered Disciple, he naturally had to do his best.

As for the outside world being frightened?

What does that have to do with him, a Registered Disciple?

He was even just exposing a tiny bit of the truth about the mysterious world in advance, which could be considered a reminder to those who are bold.

Telling them not to act rashly.

The foundation of the mysterious world is far deeper than everyone has guessed!

Perhaps, the reason Water Blue Star hasn't discovered traces of the mysterious for several hundred years.

Isn't just because some change caused them to suffer heavy losses and go into hiding.

But rather, everyone should broaden their perspective.

Perhaps the real world is just one of the countless mortal worlds controlled by mysterious big shots!

And before, they were simply too busy to care or chose to let it be?

And now!

Clearly, regardless of the reason.

They are coming back!
