Chapter 102: Two Moons

Although the Street Weird Domain he was in and the Plain Weird Domain ahead were illuminated by the same moon, it was clear that these were two completely different Weird Domains.

If he were to rashly step into this Plain Weird Domain, his coordinates in Reality would change accordingly, and there was no telling where he would end up. If it were just another city, that would be fine, but if it were some Abyss or forbidden land, he would likely never return.

Therefore, for the sake of caution, he would not step in rashly.

Of course, just because he couldn't now didn't mean he couldn't in the future. Once his strength improved and he had the ability, he would certainly follow this Yin Path to see what lay at its end.

And what that so-called passage was.

The Source Power represented by those Yin Soldiers made his mouth water. Just fifty Yin Soldiers, the establishment of a single platoon, had earned him five hundred Source Power; if there were more, he would take off immediately.

He had also considered ambushing the subsequent Yin Soldiers here in the Street Weird Domain on the Yin Path. But upon second thought, he felt it was unrealistic. According to information from the Demon Suppression Division, the figures of Yin Soldiers appeared from time to time without any pattern, and he could not stay here forever.

Not to mention that ambushing too many squads might alert the general behind them and invite a great disaster.

Thinking of this.

Li Heng shook his head with regret; in the end, it all came down to strength.

After waiting here for a long time, no more Yin Soldiers appeared. His heart calmed down, and he slowly exhaled a breath of murky air. Forget it, since there were none, he could not wait any longer.

Perhaps... he could come over to check from time to time?

Thinking this, Li Heng immediately performed the Great Sun Visualization and threw a punch, tearing a rift directly in this Street Weird Domain. He stepped out and returned to the Present World in an instant.

Because of the frequent occurrence of weird events recently.

No lights were lit in West City; almost all residents were hiding in their houses like ostriches burying their heads in the sand, hoping to sleep until dawn without encountering any weird events.

However, a bright, clear moon still hung high in the sky.

Even without lights, the streets were not too dark.

Li Heng looked up at this bright, clear moon and recalled the cold moon in the Weird Domain. He dared to conclude that these two moons were definitely not the same; the Weird Domain moon must be fake.

This could not help but lead him to some conjectures.

Could it be that the Cold Moon Dharma Image, which spanned many Weird Domains and illuminated them, was the key to connecting these Weird Domains to form a Yin Path and providing a way for Yin Soldiers to borrow the path?

His heart trembled slightly; that was truly a massive undertaking.

He wondered which peerless Great Terror had made a move.

Looking around to determine his location and intending to return to the Demon Suppression Division first, he suddenly saw a temple in front of him—it was the Earth Temple built by the noble family!

Li Heng's expression was strange; was he truly fated with this Earth Temple?

In that case, he could just as well cause some trouble on his way.

It was clear that this was still West City, as evidenced by the Tongtian River nearby and the docks piled with cargo. Thus, the Earth Temple before him must have been built by the noble family in West City.

It seemed they intended to build one in each of the four directions: East, West, South, and North.

At this moment, Li Heng had not changed his appearance and was still in the guise of a Yin Soldier. He did not intend to transform into a Living Dead, so he slowly walked into this Earth Temple as a Yin Soldier.

Without the slightest concealment, he walked in openly and honestly.

He was not afraid of being discovered by that noble family's Wang Xuanji.

He was a Yin Soldier now; if Wang Xuanji had the ability, he could go and fight those Yin Soldier armies. He would like to see who was stronger: this Innate Level Wang Xuanji or that Xianzhen Army.

The temple's decorations were exactly the same as the one in South City.

However, when Li Heng, this Yin Soldier, walked in, the tall and mighty Earth Deity Statue suddenly opened its eyes in a weird fashion, its facial features moving to form a look of angry shouting.

"Little Weird, how dare you trespass in my Earth Temple! You shall die!"

Like a lion's roar and a booming bell, it shook the Earth Temple directly. It was like an infrasonic wave with extreme penetrating power, capable of piercing directly through a living being's head and causing their brain to explode and die. It was also infused with a bit of Divine Dao Power, specifically designed to restrain certain Weirds.

Clearly, after suffering a loss last time, Wang Xuanji had learned his lesson and strengthened the defenses of these Earth Temples. Before Li Heng could even make a move, the Earth Deity Statue had already sensed his aura and begun its attack.

Is that it? You, this Earth Deity, are still too weak.

Li Heng shook his head inwardly, held the bronze spear in one hand, and thrust it into the ground. At the same time, he visualized the Boundless Earth, and the endless Earth Divine Intent erupted, spreading throughout the entire Earth Temple.

So you're the one called Earth Deity.

Let me show you what the Earth really is!

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, this small Earth Deity Statue could not resist the Earth Divine Intent at all. Cracks appeared on its face, and in an instant, it exploded into a pile of fragments.

Li Heng smiled slightly and turned to leave.

He hoped the Wang Family liked this big gift of his.

Not long after he left, Wang Xuanji arrived. Looking at the mess inside the Earth Temple and the shattered Earth Deity Statue, his face turned gloomy and angry. His aura erupted violently, directly collapsing the Earth Temple!

Damn it, who exactly is it? Daring to target their Wang Family!

In extreme anger, he unleashed his full cultivation, using his Wang Family Secret Technique to track the residual aura in the surroundings, finally condensing these auras into an image.

This... Wang Xuanji looked at the image, his pupils shrinking.

Damn, Yin Soldiers?! The Yin Soldiers of West City?!

Aren't you all just passing through?

He fell silent instantly, his expression frozen. After a long while, he withdrew the aura he had unleashed... What exactly was going on? Why did the Yin Soldiers have a problem with his Earth Temple too?

Wang Xuanji felt some grief and indignation in his heart.

Forget it, he couldn't afford to provoke them; at worst, he just wouldn't build it!

He stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and left in grief and indignation.

These successive loud commotions woke up all the residents of West City. However, they dared not go out and hid under their covers, trembling. Were the dirty things so fierce now?

Li Heng returned by the moonlight and soon arrived at the gate of the Inner City.

Then he froze.

For no other reason than that Constable Xing Yong was still guarding the gate? No, Constable Xing, how exactly did you offend others? It's the middle of the night, and you're still guarding the gate? Don't you change shifts?

He muttered to himself and walked up to the Inner City gate.

"Constable Xing, you... are truly diligent."

He looked at the figure guarding the gate like an iron tower, hesitated over his wording, and then spoke. Regardless, laborers in any World have it especially hard. Li Heng sighed inwardly.

"Brother Li, you've returned from completing your mission?"

Xing Yong was somewhat surprised to see Li Heng return.

"But don't even mention it, Brother Li. It's so late, and I don't want to keep staying here either, but the situation is changing too fast. Ren Bapi suddenly told me that my intrusion into the Demon Suppression Division to investigate was extremely unreasonable, and then he punished me by making me continue guarding the gate."

He spoke somewhat dully, then immediately became tight-jawed with hatred. "It was clearly Ren Bapi who instigated me to go to the Demon Suppression Division to investigate; he didn't have any objections back then, so why did he turn his face in the blink of an eye?" Xing Yong was incomparably aggrieved.

Li Heng smiled slightly, roughly understanding what was going on.

It was eight or nine parts likely that the Innate Level old lover of Old Master Meng had arrived, causing Ren County Magistrate to need to make a quick stance. Therefore, he punished Xing Yong, who had somewhat offended the Demon Suppression Division.

However, this also had some benefits for Xing Yong.

If Ren Hai had not punished him at all, and had not put on a show for some Demon Exorcists of the Demon Suppression Division, but instead let Xing Yong be safe and comfortable, then perhaps Xing Yong would be sacked and beaten fiercely by someone while walking down the street.

Demon Exorcists walk among Weird occurrences, almost constantly on the edge of Life and Death, under great pressure and with heavy baleful energy. Not everyone has a good temper like Li Heng.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Xing Yong shook his head with a sigh.

"Why must Constable Xing belittle yourself? This is also a good thing." After chatting for a few sentences, he began to go through the procedures, passing the Demon-Revealing Mirror and the Array, and after confirming there were no hidden dangers, he bade farewell to Xing Yong.

Xing Yong watched Li Heng leave, a sense of envy rising in his heart.

It is said that Demon Exorcists walk on the edge of Life and Death and deal with the Weird, which is extremely dangerous; he would rather be a beggar than a Demon Exorcist. But why did he feel that being a Demon Exorcist was still better than watching the gate?

The Inner City was relatively safe, so there were some lights.

Some children who had been stifled recently, or some young ladies, often strolled and wandered the streets of the Inner City during this time, which added a bit of human vitality to the usually deserted Inner City.

Li Heng looked at this scene without the slightest emotion. The safety of the Inner City was actually exchanged for the safety of the Outer City. The commoners living in the Outer City had no Demon Exorcists or Arrays to protect them. If they encountered the Weird, they died, and there was no other way.

At most, after the fact, a Demon Exorcist would go to investigate.

"Hey, you're a Demon Exorcist from the Demon Suppression Division, right?"

"How about this young lady hires you with one tael of gold to protect me and accompany me to the Outer City? Don't worry, I absolutely won't let you suffer a loss; if we encounter any danger, I will definitely pay more!"

Suddenly, a girl who looked about eighteen, with a pretty face and clearly a wealthy young lady, saw Li Heng, her eyes lit up, and she ran directly in front of him to say this.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow, "No."

"Ten taels of gold!" The young lady continued to increase the price.

Li Heng sighed, patted her shoulder, directly stunned the girl in place, and then brushed past her to leave.

Ten taels of gold? Do you know how large an amount that is? These young ladies who stay at home and don't know finance really dare to quote prices. Even if he agreed, her family couldn't produce it.

Even if they could produce it, her family probably wouldn't be willing.

He didn't want any clichéd plot developments to occur.

The girl stood stunned for a long time before recovering from her rigid state. She was stunned for a moment, then became angry from embarrassment; it was only ten taels of gold, did this guy really think her Wang Family couldn't produce it?

He actually stunned her in place.

She stomped her feet in anger, but when she saw someone selling candied haws by the street, her eyes lit up, her anger vanished, and she ran over to buy a skewer...

Returning to the Demon Suppression Division, Li Heng went directly to find Meng Lingyun.

The matter of the Yin Soldiers in the West City was no small matter and still needed to be reported.
