Chapter 148: Resentful Humanoid

Li Heng looked into the Ancient Residence again; it remained pitch black. Confirming there was nothing new for him to discover, he said, "I am going in now. You stay right here and do not move."

Having said that, he drew a circle for Kong Que. At the same time, he hid a portion of his Earth Dharma Aspect Power underground, combining it with the Earth Vein to prepare for the unexpected.

He did not wait for Kong Que to speak.

He had already walked into the Ancient Residence, swallowed by the darkness within, as if walking into the mouth of a giant dark beast, and vanished.

Kong Que was stunned, only then coming to her senses, and stamped her feet in anxiety. "I am really not a demon or monster, I am a spirit beast! Why won't you listen to people when they speak!" She felt somewhat annoyed.

Immediately, she looked at the circle under her feet, then looked at her surroundings—the lush, dense forest, with gusts of eerie wind blowing by, and she was all alone.

She fell silent...

Li Heng stepped into the Ancient Residence and arrived in a dim room.

This Ancient Residence seemed to possess the ability to contain the universe within a mustard seed; the internal space was extremely vast. For instance, the hall he was standing in was more than twice as large as the Ancient Residence appeared from the outside.

As soon as he entered, he felt it was chilly; an invisible, cold, and venomous entity seemed to want to invade his body, but it was all blocked outside by his Great Sun Spirit Body.

This was likely the so-called Ominous Curse.

He could not help but shake his head.

If the so-called curse was merely this, then he had come in for nothing; it was simply a waste of time. Thinking this, he took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, the scenery changed.

The hall, which had been silent, empty, and incomparably dim, with the sunlight from outside unable to shine in at all, instantly became boisterous; the surroundings were decorated with lanterns and streamers, turning directly into a wedding scene.

Those guests walked back and forth, conversing with one another.

And Li Heng was suddenly placed in the midst of the crowd.

His expression was calm, not surprised, as he looked around. These guests who had come to attend the wedding were actually the very demons and Strange Monsters he had beaten to death outside the gate of the Ancient Residence.

"Did you go to the Great Banquet at Ten Thousand Demon Ridge?"

"I went, of course! If you don't go, that's a loss. The meat at the Great Banquet, I don't know how tender and succulent it was; it would be a waste to be a demon if you didn't taste a bite."

"Hehe, the owner of this Ancient Residence really has a grand display, calling so many people just to get married..."

"Who's to say otherwise? But I heard the bride also has quite a background; it is said she is someone from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge."

These demons and Strange Monsters chatted, their expressions vivid; from time to time, they would burst into laughter upon hearing certain things, and from time to time, they would argue with others in anger, as if they had never died and were still alive.

Li Heng's expression remained as usual as he blended in among these guests.

Before long, two figures appeared on the staircase on the second floor above the hall; one was actually Kong Que wearing a bridal robe, and the other was the owner of the Ancient Residence whom he had blasted to death.

The owner of the Ancient Residence wore a bridal robe and spoke in a loud voice.

"Now that the guests have arrived, the wedding banquet begins. Someone, serve the dishes!" As soon as the voice fell, several doors connected to the reception hall creaked and opened one after another, from which many small Strange Monsters emerged, presenting dishes.

The gazes of those demons and Strange Monsters turned toward them, all revealing expressions of admiration; some Strange Monsters even almost could not help themselves, with saliva dripping onto the ground.

"The owner of the Ancient Residence is thoughtful, actually preparing a small banquet."

At this moment, a dog-headed person spoke up with a laugh. This was precisely the Demon King Li Heng had beaten to death earlier, whose name sounded quite intimidating but was a mess.

Li Heng looked at those dishes; they were unexpectedly normal, prepared in a proper manner, emitting the fragrance of meat and vegetables, filling the entire room, and could be called a feast for the eyes and nose.

He just didn't know how they tasted.

Soon, tables were set, and chairs were arranged.

These guests sat in their seats impatiently, looking at the dishes before them with greed, preparing to feast.

At this time, Li Heng stood quietly in place.

"Eh, this guest, why don't you sit down and eat?"

At this moment, the bride, Kong Que, noticed Li Heng. She walked directly down the stairs, came before him, and spoke with a smile, gesturing to an empty seat beside him.

The guests also stiffly turned their heads one after another, all staring at Li Heng.

"That's right, eat quickly, eat quickly, why aren't you eating?"

Li Heng revealed a smile, "Revealing your true colors so soon?"

A wisp of Sun True Fire appeared, actually driving away the light in this reception hall, illuminating the area and revealing the True Reality of the scene.

The so-called guests were nothing but corpses covered in blood and gore; the so-called dishes were nothing but illusions; the so-called lights were nothing but clusters of darkness. On the contrary, Kong Que and the owner of the Ancient Residence still appeared like real people.

"Not eating? You're not eating, are you!"

"Don't even think about living if you don't eat!"

These so-called guests, these so-called corpses roared, rushing toward Li Heng one after another, shouting, "Why can you live when we are dead..."

Li Heng shook his head, "You were all beaten to death by me in the first place."

Immediately, that wisp of Sun True Fire surged violently, the light of the fire instantly filling the entire room, driving away and purifying all the darkness that had disguised itself as light. These guests fell to the ground, turning back into corpses.

At this moment.

This so-called Kong Que had already jumped away in terror, returning to the side of the owner of the Ancient Residence; both looked at Li Heng with wariness.

"Who exactly are you? To be able to use this kind of flame, you are absolutely not a Strange Monster, nor are you a demon, but why is there such heavy Yin Qi on your body?" They spoke in unison.

"Then I must ask you, who are you?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

Being able to not reveal their true forms under the illumination of the Sun True Fire meant that the two were not demons or Strange Monsters, or at least not ordinary demons or Strange Monsters.

"Don't even think about leaving if you don't say it. The interior of the Ancient Residence is the true Ancient Residence, which cannot be compared to the exterior of the Ancient Residence you destroyed earlier. Sink here for all eternity!"

The two sneered in unison, and their figures instantly vanished.

Clearly, they could not do anything to Li Heng at all.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and withdrew the Sun True Fire. The darkness that had been driven out instantly returned, disguising itself as light once more. Those guests who had already died completely and were entirely corpses actually stood up again.

Interesting, an Ancient Residence that can resurrect the dead?

He was very certain that the Strange Monsters and demons he had killed, from whom he had received Source Power, were dead completely, belonging to the kind whose souls had scattered. Yet this Ancient Residence could make corpses that were dead completely move again?

These guests rushed toward him again.

Li Heng shook his head, and the Sun True Fire appeared once more, driving away the darkness and making them turn back into corpses. He did not intend to drag this out any longer and would simply flip the table!

The thought arose.

The Sun True Fire flew onto the walls of the Ancient Residence and burned.

However, to his surprise, although the Sun True Fire could burn this Ancient Residence, the burning speed was very slow, and even after burning, it was quickly repaired.

"I told you, you cannot escape."

"Although your flames are terrifying, your strength is not great!"

The words of a man and a woman echoed within the Ancient Residence.

Li Heng's expression remained unmoved; his Great Sun Dharma Aspect manifested, radiating brilliant light, empowering the Sun True Fire and causing its flames to surge and burn rapidly. At the same time, he stomped one foot, manifesting the Earth Dharma Aspect, causing the entire Ancient Residence to begin shaking, rocking its very foundation of existence.

Boom!

The interior began to shake violently, as if a great earthquake had occurred.

Crackle!

The sound of flames burning erupted all around, turning the entire Ancient Residence into a sea of fire; whatever darkness, whatever Yin energy, whatever Ominous Curse, all were to be dispelled under the burning of the Sun True Fire!

In a certain hidden place within the Ancient Residence.

It seemed to be a bedroom.

The so-called master of the Ancient Residence and the bride Kong Que finally manifested their true forms, these two humanoid figures of resentment composed of pitch-black shadows.

They had originally wanted to stay here to watch the show, to witness Li Heng feeling terror, fear, falling, and confusion within this Ancient Residence, and finally, like other foolish intruders, becoming a Puppet of the Ancient Residence.

For this, they had even prepared various scenes and games, guiding Li Heng to investigate every room, obtain clues, and finally despairingly learn the truth that he could not escape.

From hope to despair, what a wonderful scene.

This kind of scene was extremely interesting, and this had been their greatest pleasure for so many years.

But at this moment, they were stunned.

What is going on? Why?

Why could this intruder, while inside the incomparably sturdy Ancient Residence, shake the foundation of the Ancient Residence? And under the burning of that terrifying flame, the repair speed could not keep up with the burning speed at all!

Li Heng looked at everything around him and smiled with disdain.

Who plays horror games when they are a serious person!

A real man should go "Musou"!

At this moment, the two humanoid figures of resentment became terrified and afraid.

They felt that as the Ancient Residence shook and burned, their own foundation of existence was also slowly wavering; if this continued, they would surely vanish into Emptiness!

If so, how could they wait for the return of their master?

Most importantly, they did not want to die!

In an instant, they appeared before Li Heng.

"We admit defeat, we admit defeat, quickly withdraw your Supernatural Ability, withdraw your Supernatural Ability," they shouted, hoping Li Heng would stop.

Li Heng remained unmoved.

They hurriedly used their methods again, wanting to extinguish the flames and stop the Ancient Residence from shaking. Unfortunately, how could the power and essence of the Great Sun Dharma Aspect and the Earth Dharma Aspect be something they could block?

In the end, their efforts were in vain and to no avail.

"Stop immediately, do you know who is behind this Ancient Residence!"

"Can you bear the consequences of our master's rage?"

These two humanoid figures of resentment roared.

"So, who is behind it?" Li Heng smiled playfully.

"My master is a top-tier powerhouse in the Yin World, qualified to go to..." one humanoid figure of resentment could not help but say proudly, but when he wanted to say the next sentence, the other humanoid figure of resentment stopped him. "Are you crazy? That place cannot be spoken of easily!"

A Yin World powerhouse, that place?

Li Heng frowned, thinking of something.

"I don't care who is behind you, but they are certainly not as powerful as my master. I can let you go now; you immediately withdraw your Supernatural Ability, and from here on we will not disturb each other, how about that?"

The two humanoid figures of resentment warned.

"So who are you?"

"We are the Butler left behind by our master."

In order to let Li Heng leave as soon as possible and withdraw his Supernatural Ability, they had no choice but to tell everything they knew, except for some secret matters.

"Then, the previous master of the Ancient Residence was..."

"You mean that woman? Just a lucky person. She only obtained some permissions through things left behind by our master. Alright, don't say any more, hurry up and withdraw your Supernatural Ability; this is good for both you and us."

They answered as quickly as possible while urging Li Heng to stop.

Just a Butler?

"So that means the Ancient Residence has nothing to do with you? If you die, it won't affect this Ancient Residence, right?"

"That is naturally... wait, what do you want to do!"

The two humanoid figures of resentment had just wanted to answer when they were suddenly shocked.

But at this moment, it was already too late.

The massive Sun True Fire had already surrounded them. The Earth Divine Intent suppressed the Void, preventing them from escaping. In the end, before they could say a few more words, they were submerged in the Sun True Fire.

Li Heng's expression was calm.

He was very interested in this Ancient Residence.
