Chapter 215: Fishing Is Impossible to Return Empty-Handed

At this moment, on the other side of the passage, in the Present World.

Li Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.

He hadn't expected the fish to take the bait so quickly. He had only just expanded the opening of the passage, and already the aura of Weird demons was wafting through.

After a moment of thought, he concealed the momentum of his Great Sun Dharma Image and Earth Dharma Image, retaining only their function of suppressing the surrounding space. After all, since the fish had already taken the bait, he couldn't scare them away.

This was his first time acting as a Fishing Old Man, and he didn't want to return empty-handed.

Immediately following, more than a dozen strange and Weird figures emerged from the passage opening. As these figures slowly approached, stepping out from the unknown shadows, they arrived in the Present World.

"Haha, so this is the Present World?"

"Although the Yin energy here isn't as dense as in the Yin World, it doesn't matter. I can smell the rich scent of humans; it's simply incomparable to those Human-Livestock. My appetite is whetted, and I've already started drooling."

"Those Human-Livestock kept in captivity don't taste good at all."

"If humans don't smell like humans, then there's no point in eating them."

Upon arriving in the Present World, these demons laughed out loud.

Under the moonlight, they simultaneously erupted with Innate Level momentum; baleful energy, Demon Qi, Magic Qi, and Yin energy surged, affecting the many surrounding mountain ridges. Mountain birds flew off in alarm, and wild beasts fled.

Those that failed to escape the reach of these negative energies—

Either died on the spot or were demonized, corrupted, or turned into Weirds.

They were no mere minor Weirds, but Innate Level great demons and great devils! Now that they had arrived in the Present World, they were enough to stir up a bloody storm in Beijun and cause a Calamity for countless living beings.

Provided they didn't provoke the Prefecture of Jinhua City or the great clans.

"Everyone, I can smell a human city ahead. The human aura is the most concentrated there; there must be hundreds of thousands of living beings. Follow me over there to eat to our heart's content."

The wolf-headed demon twitched its nose and howled wildly under the moon.

"Have you said enough?"

Li Heng spoke calmly at this moment.

He had been standing right in front of this group of demons just now, observing them for a while; they were all just small fry, not even a single Great Innate among them, and the strongest was merely at the Strong Second Heaven Peak.

Hm?

The group of demons and Weirds suddenly froze, their joyful expressions instantly stiffening. Only then did they notice a tiny human standing before them. But why hadn't they noticed him just now?

Fear and vigilance rose in their hearts.

Then, they exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and attacked Li Heng together. Since it was confirmed that this person was a human, he was their food; there was no need for idle chatter.

Although this human had been able to shield their perception just now, he must have had some means, and his cultivation realm might even be on the same level as theirs. But there were more than a dozen of them; they could crush him just by piling on.

Weird Yin energy surged, and the demons manifested their true forms.

The onslaught of the demons and Weirds was like a monstrous tsunami, sweeping directly over everything in the vicinity and pressing down upon Li Heng. If not for Li Heng's dual Dharma Aspects suppressing the Void here, the space would have twisted or even shattered from such an attack.

Li Heng shook his head, "Truly boring."

He pointed a finger, and the Great Sun Dharma Image and Earth Dharma Image hummed slightly, transforming into invisible ripples that spread out, directly causing the demons, Weirds, and their attacks to freeze in mid-air, unable to move.

If not for the gentle breeze blowing at this moment, causing the grass and trees on the mountain to sway slightly—

One might have thought that the Creator of the world had pressed the pause button, and time had stagnated.

At this moment, these demons and Weirds couldn't even move their eyeballs. Their hearts shook violently, realizing they had definitely provoked a terrifying powerhouse and kicked an iron plate.

They wanted to expand their consciousness to beg Li Heng for mercy.

Or perhaps they wanted to use a Secret Technique to interfere with Li Heng's mind.

But until they saw one bird that stuck its head out, truly expanding its consciousness—only for its consciousness to leave its body, touch the dual suppression of the Great Sun Dharma Image and Earth Dharma Image, and also freeze—

Immediately, they dared not make any further moves.

"You bunch of wicked beasts are quite decisive, but unfortunately, your strength is a bit weak." Li Heng watched these demons and Weirds wanting to move but being scared by the situation, and evaluated them as such.

"Forget it, let's fish a bit longer."

He lowered his eyes, his gaze half-closed, looking just like an old fisherman.

Li Heng did not deal a lethal blow to these demons and Weirds.

Because since this passage could attract more than a dozen Innate demons and Weirds in a short time, it was possible it would attract even more in the coming period.

Perhaps even existences stronger than them.

For now, he could still use their demon aura to increase his fishing efficiency. When there was nothing left to fish, or when Qingfeng and the others returned from their investigation, it wouldn't be too late to kill them then.

One still needed to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

In any case, they were currently being suppressed by the two Dharma Aspects with no blind spots.

If they could still break through, he would actually be happy.

Because that would mean these demons and Weirds were more than just Strong Second Heaven Peak, and might be even stronger, worth more Source Power.

Sure enough, on the other side of the passage, in the Yin World.

Demons and Weirds from other Ghost Domains had already rushed over...

At this time, Wang Donglai, his sister, and the old man had already escaped the range of the spatial tremors. They stayed on a mountain peak, feeling the gentle breeze, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior, what exactly is going on?"

Wang Donglai hurriedly asked.

The feeling just now was simply too terrifying; this wasn't an ordinary earthquake, the entire Heaven and Earth, and even he himself, were shaking! If he had stayed there, he feared he would have been shaken to pieces.

The old man was silent for a while before speaking.

"This is a Heaven and Earth Mutation, a spatial tremor has appeared."

"This situation generally appears in an Uninhabited Forbidden Zone, such as outside Great Li, in that vast uninhabited desert to the north. Logically, it shouldn't appear within the territory of Great Li, which is suppressed by national destiny."

"But now it has appeared; Great Li has a problem."

The silent Wang Ling suddenly spoke, taking over the conversation.

"Yes, girl, Great Li has a problem. But what I fear isn't just this; I fear that the entire Heaven and Earth has a problem. It's a pity, a pity, a pity that I cannot go any further..."

The old man closed his eyes, his expression somewhat pained.

The reason he had intended to walk the path of the Great Sun in the first place was because he knew that only the Haohan Dari could save this terminally ill World. However, this path was severed; he had spent the better part of his life traveling everywhere, yet he still could not continue it and failed to advance any further.

For this, he even went to cause trouble for the so-called Sunset Organization.

But he still gained nothing.

The Wang Family siblings were silent.

Although they did not understand what this senior was talking about, they could still feel the heaviness in these words.

"Forget it, forget it, I've lived most of my life and I'm still like this. But fortunately, on this trip back, I was able to see another person who has walked this path, and I also ran into you, girl; it is a fortunate thing indeed."

"I only pray that this mutation slows down and gives me a little time."

"I will impart a technique to you."

"You are not suited to walk my path. But I have also deduced a technique similar to my own, named the Brightness Startling the World Record. If you can comprehend its true essence and combine it with the Divine Position in your bloodline..."

The old man was silent for a moment, then spoke with a resolute expression.

"I guarantee your Dharma Aspect will be worry-free!"

Having said that, he condensed a profound golden Rune in the Void; the Rune changed constantly, evolving into infinite mysteries, and went directly into Wang Ling's brow, with infinite information surging into her mind.

Afterward, he looked at Wang Donglai again.

"Kid, although your talent is mediocre, I, this old man, treat geniuses and mediocre people the same. Now that you count as this girl's brother, I have thought it over and decided to grant you a stroke of fortune as well."

Wang Donglai was overjoyed upon hearing this.

But a stream of light was about to streak across the sky above them; when it reached above their heads, the stream of light suddenly stopped, revealing the figure of Meng Lingyun, who looked down at them.

Meng Lingyun's intention for this trip was to rush to Bei'an County to see if a Disaster like a spatial tremor had also occurred there; if it had, as long as he hurried, perhaps he could still remedy it.

As it turned out, when he flew above Wang Donglai and the others, Meng Lingyun sensed a familiar fluctuation below. He looked closely and saw that it was actually Wang Donglai, that kid, and his younger sister.

However, what puzzled him more was this.

This familiar fluctuation did not originate from Wang Donglai or his sister; it was from an old man beside the two of them, yet he clearly did not know this person.

Wang Donglai looked up at the sky and exclaimed directly.

"Division Chief Meng!?"

Meng Lingyun descended immediately and came to Wang Donglai's side.

"Wang Donglai, what are you doing here? How is Bei'an County?" he asked somewhat anxiously.

In his view, the reason Wang Donglai appeared here was highly likely because Bei'an County had suffered a Great Tribulation, which was why he had fled here.

Wang Donglai was a bit dazed upon hearing this; how was he supposed to answer this? When he had just left, Bei'an County was perfectly fine.

Could it be that something had gone wrong now?

"You can rest assured about that; I just released my mind to sense it. A spatial tremor did indeed appear in that Bei'an County, but it was quickly suppressed by some force; there was likely no loss."

At this moment, the old man spoke calmly.

"You are..." Meng Lingyun was stunned upon hearing this and looked at the old man.

This place should be very far from Bei'an County, right?

At the very least, it was separated by the distance of two or three counties.

Even if this old man were at Second Heaven Peak, he wouldn't have the ability to investigate the situation in Bei'an County from two or three counties away, right? Or could it be...

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you don't believe it, you can run over to confirm, though it would likely be a wasted trip," the old man said indifferently, seemingly having already glimpsed the thoughts in Meng Lingyun's heart.

"May I ask if you, Senior, are a powerhouse of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

Meng Lingyun gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and asked politely.

He had just sensed slightly and could not sense the depth of this old man at all; it was clearly beyond his own realm. Combined with this old man's remarks, he suspected it was a Dharma Aspect above Innate Above.

"Heh... hehe..."

The old man suddenly laughed upon hearing this, his body twitching.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I am not."

In an instant, he calmed down again and spoke indifferently.

If it were when he was young, he would definitely have been disdainful of such words; after all, a mere Dharma Aspect Realm, how could that be his end? If he had heard such a statement when he was stuck at Second Heaven Peak and unable to advance an inch, he would definitely have been angry, feeling that this was looking down on him.

But now he was old; his person was old, his heart was old, and his Qi was old.

So he had let it go.

"Ah?"

Meng Lingyun was taken aback when he heard an answer he had not expected.

However, he thought about it again and felt that this seemed to be within expectations; he had rashly asked about someone else's strength, and no matter how polite his tone was, this behavior was also impolite.

So no matter what this old man said, it seemed acceptable?

"Please forgive this junior for being abrupt, Senior."

"I just feel that you, Senior, have a sense of familiarity."

Surprise appeared in the old man's expression.

"Kid, I, this old man, have never seen you."

"No, Senior, this junior has indeed never seen you either. But this feeling really exists, a sense of familiarity. The power and the aura seem to be the same as someone by my side..."

Meng Lingyun frowned, as if recalling something.

Then he said, half-certain and half-uncertain.

The old man was shocked upon hearing this, "What?!"
