Chapter 112: 137, 138. Merging the Extreme Bliss World (Long Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)

The first time he ran into the skin-ghost, Song Cheng was completely swept into the Reappearance, without even a shred of power to resist, but now, he watched the scene before him with absolute clarity.

Beauties, wildness, crawling, cages, animal tamers—this is the so-called Extreme Bliss World.

Inside the skin was already a tamed soul, a monster that should have been human but had become twisted due to the bizarre hobbies of the powerful and wealthy.

Without a doubt, the past of this skin-ghost was far more miserable than Yun E's.

The so-called Extreme Bliss World is nothing more than building one's own happiness upon the suffering of others.

Extreme bliss, naturally, requires extreme suffering.

Without hell, where would the Extreme Bliss World come from?

The originally empty village entrance suddenly became lively; a crowd of people appeared from nowhere, suddenly crowding the surroundings, whispering to each other, their eyes shining as they looked toward the cages.

And the originally small ox-cart was suddenly piled full of black cloth cages; the cloths on the cages were lifted one by one, revealing the various "Extreme Bliss" and various "sorrows" behind them.

Immediately, the stimulated people became boisterous; some laughed out loud, some exclaimed "How wonderful, how wonderful," while others began to criticize and shout, "My turn, my turn."

The man in fine clothes elegantly pinched his handlebar mustache and then said with a smile: "Fine food, everyone loves to eat; beauties, everyone loves to play; since everyone has come to the Extreme Bliss World, you must follow the rules of the Extreme Bliss World."

Having said that, he clapped his hands and said: "The first segment, Subduing Demons. Those in the cages are..."

At this moment, Song Cheng did not feel much joy; all he felt was anger.

"Enough."

He said, "I already know."

However, no one paid him any mind; everyone continued to shout.

The first cage opened, and the woman who had been tamed into a leopard stepped out vigilantly, looking left and right, her posture seductive yet full of wildness.

The man in fine clothes took out a bottle of perfume and uncorked it; the fragrance drifted out like clouds and mist, covering the area around the cages, making the hearts of those who came restless and filled with intense desire.

Satisfying desires—isn't that exactly what extreme bliss is?

Just as that scene without any bottom line was about to happen, a voice suddenly fell like a heavy hammer, striking hard against the "pause button."

"Great Dark Heaven."

As the words fell, darkness surged in all directions like a torrential flood, with Song Cheng at the center.

This is his own Taboo power.

It is also already in the realm of Reappearance.

On this point, he had specifically gone to learn about it.

For instance, the sister-in-law and the others, no matter how much they practice, it is still just illusion, and it will not be Reappearance.

The reason he was able to practice Reappearance was entirely because he had come into contact with evil Ghosts.

The eighth layer of his Nine-Layer Nether Tower mutated because of the "Drowned Ghost, the Ghost Hair's Blessing" and the "Skin-Ghost's Peering."

The flood "whoosh" surged, scattering the gathered guests through the Reappearance.

The man with the handlebar mustache screamed in terror, "Where did this flood come from, where did it come from," and after screaming twice, he suddenly cast his gaze toward Song Cheng, a look of resentment appearing in his eyes, and then he roared in a hoarse, angry voice: "Kill him! Kill him!!"

Immediately, the guests scattered by the dark tide looked at Song Cheng with resentment, and one by one, they rushed over, some stepping on the water, some swimming.

But they only rushed for a few breaths before they quickly felt a sense of blindness.

They were blind.

In the Reappearance of "Great Dark Heaven," everyone was blind, and the tide was still rising incessantly.

Song Cheng himself didn't know what was going on.

With this power, he was the standard "just use it, don't understand the principle."

The guests of the Extreme Bliss World, having lost their sight, soon began to choke on water, being scattered by the flood, while the iron cages floated to the surface of the water due to some supernatural power, drifting with the waves.

Some drifted further and further away, while others... were moving closer to Song Cheng.

Song Cheng carefully contemplated the changes in power at this moment.

A moment later, he was thoughtful.

"Reappearance" is like a technique.

"Power" is Mysterious Grade Ding Quality versus Mysterious Grade C.

And it was precisely because his power was stronger than the skin-ghost's that the flood scattered the guests of the Extreme Bliss World and scattered the cages... otherwise, I fear it would be him running around, while those Extreme Bliss World guests chased after him, wanting to catch him and stuff him into a cage.

Then, must the side with the stronger power always win?

Song Cheng fell into deep thought.

Soon he shook his head.

Not necessarily.

Because the suppression between "Reappearances" is very likely even greater than that between "techniques."

A technique is just a movement, a trajectory; but a Reappearance is an event, or even a natural phenomenon... To Song Cheng, this was an entirely new world, and also a completely unfamiliar world.

In this world, ordinary Martial Artists couldn't even hope to understand it, and even Xiao Yu'er, the sister-in-law, and the others would likely find it difficult to understand.

Once Song Cheng grasped the knack, his thoughts stirred, causing his Soul to fall into the eighth layer of the Nine-Layer Nether Tower, and then he drove "Great Dark Heaven" with all his might... Sure enough, under his full drive, the speed of the water in this "Reappearance World" suddenly became much faster; those iron cages that were still approaching a moment ago were "whooshed" away, tumbling in the water and scattering to the surroundings.

In this black water, Song Cheng was quite at ease.

However, everything was presented as a Heart Eye image.

This meant that here, he had become a blind man again.

Song Cheng was like a fish; with a movement of his body, he lunged toward the nearest cage.

He saw that even though those cages had gaps, his water had not seeped into them.

Although he still didn't understand the fighting rules of this world, he thought that the cage should be a "defensive fortress" for the skin-ghost, and he wanted to break open the door of the fortress.

Song Cheng, who had "excellent water skills," arrived in front of an iron cage in an instant and raised his hand to grab the cage door.

Inside the door, a cute young girl wrapped in rabbit fur—or perhaps she had grown rabbit fur for some unknown reason, or perhaps she was a rabbit-girl herself—looked at him with wide, pleading eyes, emitting a sad and fearful sound.

"Go away! Go away!"

The rabbit girl shouted in a childish voice; her eyes were not blind, and she pressed her hands and body firmly against the door, not letting Song Cheng get close.

Song Cheng raised his hand and grabbed toward the door.

Slap! He gripped it tight.

He exerted force, intending to pull it open.

The rabbit girl cried out: "Go away, go away, don't come over!"

Although she was crying, the strength with which she gripped the iron cage door was not small.

The two sides suddenly fell into a strange stalemate.

This stalemate had a weird, adhesive quality, as if they were infiltrating each other and merging; if there were a god's-eye view, one would discover that the connection between Song Cheng and the Extreme Bliss World at this moment had a strange sense of similarity to the scenes during "Extreme Bliss World swallows Yun E," "Yun E pulls Ghost hair," and "Yun E enters the Burned Ghost village."

It was as if a Ghost named Song Cheng was merging with the Extreme Bliss World; if successful, would Song Cheng turn into a Double Ghost?

"It's already been two months, why hasn't Little Song returned yet?"

Su Ningyu had already asked this question for the ninth time today, then immediately muttered, "That shouldn't be; Little Song shouldn't be in trouble. He is much stronger than me; even if he encountered a single Ghost in the wild, even if he couldn't beat it, he wouldn't be unable to run away."

"Besides, he is carrying the Golden Coffin with nine sun patterns. If it really comes to it, he can just lie inside the coffin, and he would be safe and sound."

"Something must have happened. No, I have to go find Little Song."

Compared to the flustered Su Ningyu, An Chenyu appeared incomparably calm.

"Sister Su, my husband has never had an accident. Although I am worried now too, the first thing we must do is help him stabilize the rear."

"Otherwise, if he returns and sees the rear in a mess, that would be truly painful for him."

"In this city now, only you, Sister Su, can hold the fort."

"With you here, this place is safe."

"If you leave, and something happens..."

Su Ningyu remained silent; she also understood that Little Song leaving her behind meant for her to watch the house. If she left and something happened here, then Little Song would likely never forgive her for the rest of his life.

"Then what should we do?"

An Chenyu said: "Dispatch medicine-men to search."

"How to search?"

"Nowadays, the wild is actually occupied by Ghost servants. The path my husband took must have already been cleared of Ghost servants along the way. Therefore, whichever path has no Ghost servants is the one my husband took."

"I will send medicine-men to investigate."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, Sister Su, just a few days ago, the white hair left behind by my husband underwent some strange changes."

"Sister Jia Er said that the white hair seems to be even purer than before. She picked out some Form Realm Martial Artists with insufficient aptitude who were struggling to step into the Qi Realm to test it. I just received news this morning saying that... this brand-new white hair used as medicine can allow those in the Form Realm to reach the Qi Realm."

Su Ningyu was stunned for a moment.

Her white hair could only allow "people at the Jin Realm and below to improve by one tier," but the white hair Little Song left behind was actually his own hair... If it could allow "people below the Form Realm to improve," then that meant Little Song was not only fine, but also still getting stronger.

Thinking of this, her heart settled slightly.

Although An Chenyu was also worried about Song Cheng, compared to the petty behavior of being hysterical and disregarding everything to find him, she was more like a great heroine.

Previously, when Song Cheng proposed to shrink their residence, she had already picked out a place.

The new site of the An Mansion was in a place with dense farmland below the Zhushan Temple.

She began to lay out her influence, cultivate elites, and started mixing experts among the refugees heading south and the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce.

On the other side, she also began to try to put aside her prejudices and raise her daughter, but she was very cautious.

She took the initiative to get various skins for A Ting, and then began to ponder whether to start a family school; after all, A Ting needed to study, and Xiao An needed to study too.

Besides that, a teacher who excelled at painting could also teach A Ting.

But where would one find a good teacher in the North Land?

An Chenyu thought for a while, and still posted a notice, stating: The An Mansion is hiring a teacher with a high salary.

This Young Miss An certainly missed her husband very much, but there were too many things in the Prefecture City that required her attention; if she threw the whole operation away, there was no guarantee it wouldn't fall into chaos immediately.

Her days were spent in busyness, her mind filled with various matters, constantly talking to various people, switching rapidly between different scenes, so busy that she had no time at all to think about her own man.

And only when she paused for a moment would she look out the window, sigh softly, and ask: "Song Cheng, why have you been gone so long? Where did you go?"

On this day, Ouyang Chuchu pulled the nearly two-year-old Xiao Lingxue and knocked open the gate of the An Mansion, found Tong Niangzi, and stated her intentions.

"Sister Tong, I... I am here to say goodbye."

"..."

"After all, Zhao Hua has already settled down in Donghai Zhou, and the two of us, mother and daughter, have to follow him over, so..." Ouyang Chuchu felt a bit embarrassed, and also a bit terrified, because she also knew that Zhao Hua had entered into a marriage alliance with the Qi Family in Donghai Zhou.

The female kin of a larger power had a status and weight greater than hers.

Therefore, Ouyang Chuchu was very worried.

"How about this, Sister Tong, wait until we find Brother Song."

"You... no, we, we should all go south together."

"What is so good about the North Land? The hinterland is safe; there are many places where you won't encounter a Ghost Tide at all."

"That is the place where Lingxue, Xiao An, and A Ting should grow up."

Ouyang Chuchu became excited as she spoke.

If Song Cheng's family could go south with her, then she could completely rely on Song Cheng.

Tong Niangzi shook her head gently and said: "Song Cheng clearly told Huazi that he is not going down now. Sister Chuchu, you..."

She also didn't know how to say it.

But she always felt that if Ouyang Chuchu went to Donghai Zhou, she probably wouldn't have a good life.

"Chuchu, why don't you stay too, and wait for the day your big brother wants to go south, then we will go together."

Tong Niangzi was kind-hearted and finally couldn't help but try to persuade her.

There was one more sentence she didn't even dare to say out loud.

You say that Huazi and you had just finished your wedding night and immediately had a child, then the very next day he led troops out of the city; how much affection does Huazi have for you? Honestly, this behavior of Huazi's makes Tong Niangzi quite worried as well.

When Zhao Hua was in Hanping Prefecture, in front of Song Cheng, he was a well-behaved and thoughtful good younger brother. But the coldness of his nature is something that can perhaps be seen through Ouyang Chuchu.

If Zhao Hua were truly thinking of his wife and daughter, why would he not have sent someone with a letter, or dispatched personal guards to bring them south; how would it ever fall to them to set out on their own?

Whenever she thinks of this, Tong Niangzi always feels that Zhao Hua simply stole the troops Song Cheng trained, and she feels indignant.

Hearing Tong Niangzi's persuasion, Ouyang Chuchu also hesitated for quite a while, then after thinking it over repeatedly, said: "How about... I still wait for Big Brother a bit longer."

Tong Niangzi smiled and said: "That is fine too."

Having said that, she added: "Recently we have also been looking for a private tutor; Ling Xue should also begin her education, let her come along too."

Ouyang Chuchu nodded and said: "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

At this time, Donghai Zhou.

Jiuqu Fucheng.

"Xuan Nu Niang Niang? What kind of belief is this?"

"I am telling you all, if you dare to worship Xuan Nu in this public square again, do not blame us for being impolite."

A government military officer in the Prefecture City who wanted to show off and earn merit said coldly.

He scanned the surroundings and said: "What we in Donghai Zhou worship is the Flood Dragon King; if we worship, we only worship the Flood Dragon King."

Nowadays, with the dual rise of the Ghost Tide and the chaos of war, many people have realized the existence of the great families, and have also realized that those gods enshrined on the altars actually exist.

Those are the people of the great families.

The "Flood Dragon King" is to the Qi Family just as the "Fox" is to the Su Family.

This military officer's verbal opposition to Xuan Nu was just him showing off.

In his view, this Xuan Nu must be the "mud bodhisattva crossing the river" of Beixue Zhou.

You, this mud bodhisattva, have already crossed the river, so what are you still putting on airs for?

This is the Qi Family's territory; it is no longer yours.

Confrontation was on the verge of breaking out, but after all, this was Donghai Zhou territory; even though the Jinxiu Tower and the Iron Spear Society believed in Xuan Nu, they were soon fiercely suppressed by the local forces.

Among this group, desertion began to occur; many people joined the Flood Dragon King faith, while the remaining small portion could only worship Xuan Nu in the darkness. Faith is faith, and it does not involve the actual distribution of benefits; since the Xuan Nu faith moved underground, the local forces did not bother with it much.

As time passed, the name of Zhao Hua of Donghai Zhou began to spread throughout the world.

For no other reason than that Zhao Hua is too good at leading troops.

Let us put it this way: the Great Shang is currently fighting the Six Towns everywhere.

But the Six Towns are like bandits who have entered a mountain of gold and silver, growing larger and larger like a snowball; everywhere they face the Six Towns, they basically suffer defeat. And the assassinations by some experts have also inexplicably vanished like stones into the sea, with no trace left.

Except for Zhao Hua.

Zhao Hua and the Six Towns have had two small-scale contact battles.

The result was: one draw, one victory.

The Six Towns also seem to be avoiding contact with Zhao Hua, no longer invading Donghai Zhou, but instead raiding their own rear, acting with the posture of finishing off the places behind them first.

But the Imperial Court still has reserves, so it directly dispatched the "Lishan King" Yan Bore, who is also the current Prime Minister, to lead 150,000 troops to campaign against the Six Towns.

It is rumored that this "Lishan King" Yan Bore offended the Empress Dowager's younger brother, the Luxury King, and that is why he received such a bitter task.

How did he offend him? Even in the Imperial Capital, no one dares to spread it recklessly.

But those in the know can mostly guess: "Lishan King" Yan Bore was intimate with the Luxury King's consort on the Luxury King's couch in the Luxury King's mansion, and ended up being caught red-handed by the Luxury King. Poor Luxury King, looking at that fragrant and seductive scene at the time, his face turned green; however, the Luxury King's consort is a member of the Imperial Court, so even if the Luxury King discovered she was with the Lishan King, he could only swallow his bitterness.

Come to think of it, there are actually three families currently holding power in the Great Shang Imperial Court.

One is the Divine Weapon Hall, which is the Ji Family of the Heavenly Son's faction.

One is the Star Gazing Tower, which is the Yan Family where the "Lishan King" belongs.

As for the Empress Dowager's family, it is a powerful great family, which is the Feng Clan.

The Luxury King and the Empress Dowager are both of this Feng Clan lineage, but they are not members of the main family, but rather descendants of the Feng Clan outside.

As for the Ji Family and the Yan Family, they each also hide a great family behind them.

But even so, the Empress Dowager of the Feng Clan still holds the Heavenly Son hostage and wields great power.

From this, one can see how formidable the Feng Clan is.

At this time, the Lishan King was also helpless; he mustered the army, brought along his son Yan Baixiang, who is a general, and led the troops to fight the Six Towns rebels.

This Lishan King is famous for being a romantic, with an excellent appearance, filled with all the bearing a middle-aged man should have; no matter where he goes, he is likely very popular with women.

And in his early years, the Lishan King even had the title of "Great Shang's Number One Handsome Man."

When setting out on the campaign, the Lishan King quietly brought a scroll.

On that scroll was painted a cold and charming Young Mistress of peerless elegance, with porcelain-white skin and a disdainful expression, looking down upon all living things.

However, that Young Mistress also had two snow-white tails. One day, during the march, heavy rain... autumn rain.

The rain filling the sky is like a scroll of rivers and lakes, the wind howling in the mountains is like the surging sea.

"Lishan King" Yan Bore called his son into the tent, then offered up the scroll, lit incense, gave his son three sticks, and then pointed at the scroll and said: "Worship."

Yan Baixiang is a tall and sturdy, yet handsome and mighty general; at this moment, looking at the peerless beauty on the scroll, not only did he not have the slightest covetousness, but he revealed an expression of excitement.

"Mother," Yan Baixiang called out softly.

Yan Bore said: "You have always wanted to know where your mother went, right? Now Father will tell you. Your mother is the head of the Su Family; she only came out of the mountains back then to leave behind an heir. And that heir is you."

"Head of the Su Family..." Yan Baixiang's spirit trembled; he naturally knew what the head of a great family meant.

And the Su Family is precisely that great family in the North Land... He lowered his head, and within his fierce and murderous expression, a hint of memory appeared, which in turn brought a hint of childlike innocence to his cheeks.

He thought for a moment and suddenly said: "For this great battle, having your son is enough; there is no need to trouble Mother."

Yan Bore was stunned and angrily scolded: "Foolish! Do you not want your mother to come back? If your mother were in my King's mansion, it would be even more impregnable."

He looked at the Young Mistress on the scroll, and his heart felt a bit itchy.

Even though he has seen countless beauties in the Imperial Capital, he truly has never found a beauty as flawless as the head of the Su Family.

He truly still wanted to relive the old dream.

Even if just once would be enough.

He was good to that Luxury King Consort only because that Luxury King Consort resembled the Su Family head in appearance to some extent.

However, the meeting of those who hate each other, the parting of those who love each other, and the inability to obtain what one seeks—how could one possibly obtain it?

Snap.

The first cage in the Reappearance World opened.

A jet-black current of water surged into the cage all at once.

The rabbit-skin girl let out a cry of surprise, then her expression suddenly changed, and she followed closely behind Song Cheng.

The person and the rabbit-skin girl quickly arrived in front of a black cage containing a sheep-skin girl, and together they raised their hands to claw at the black cage.

Inside the black cage, the sheep-skin girl shouted, "Don't come over, don't come over!"

But Song Cheng and the rabbit-skin girl clawed fiercely at the door.

A fierce glint flashed in the rabbit-skin girl's eyes, and she shouted viciously, "Just come over, just come over!"

This scene made Song Cheng feel it was incredibly bizarre.

If understood in terms of a "program," had a small segment of the "Extreme Bliss World" program been captured by him after colliding with his own?

Suddenly, a thought surged into his mind.

Was he merging with the Extreme Bliss World?

Once this thought arose, Song Cheng felt it became more and more likely.

He immediately began to lose his nerve, but then he thought again: even if it were a merger, it was the Nine-Layer Nether Tower doing the merging, not him.

Besides, the arrow was now on the string and had to be fired.

He had to merge whether he wanted to or not.

They were stuck together; if they didn't merge into one, no one could leave.

Thinking of this, Song Cheng also joined the rabbit-skin girl in smashing the door fiercely.

It is unknown how much time passed before the sheep-skin girl's door opened.

The sheep-skin girl also joined the door-opening operation, changing from a victim into a perpetrator, from someone pitifully shouting "Don't come over" into a "thug" shouting "Must come over."

The "thugs" grew more and more numerous like a snowball.

It is unknown how much more time passed before the group finally arrived in front of the last cage.

Inside the cage was the leopard girl Song Cheng had seen at the very beginning.

The leopard girl's hair was disheveled, and a pair of wild eyes stared fiercely at him.

That cage seemed to possess a mysterious power, creating a small vacuum around it, but... it was only a very small one.

The black water had already completely surrounded it.

One hand after another reached toward that cage.

Snap, snap, snap... snap, snap, snap... the scratching sound was so sharp it felt like it would pierce one's eardrums.

At the bottom of the water, those guests of the Extreme Bliss World from before, and even the man with the handlebar mustache, were all lying there at their last gasp; even if they wanted to float up, they could barely move their eyes.

This ending could actually be seen at a glance.

Normally, the cage containing the leopard girl would be opened sooner or later.

But the least strange thing in the world is that strange things always happen... as time passed, Song Cheng suddenly felt his palms going soft.

His strength was running out.

Although he was Mysterious Grade Ding Quality, the human-skin Ghost was only Mysterious Grade Ding Quality.

But the biggest difference between a Ghost and a human is... a Ghost cannot be exhausted, while a human can.

Normally, a person would definitely be out of options at this point.

But as it happened, Song Cheng had already merged with half of the Extreme Bliss World, so the rabbit-skin girl, the sheep-skin girl, and the other evil Ghosts released from the cages earlier began to attack the leopard girl.

Song Cheng, on the contrary, sat to the side to rest.

The existence of the Nine-Layer Nether Tower meant his recovery speed was not slow.

Subsequently, the rabbit-skin girl, the sheep-skin girl, and the others began to be put back into the cages.

Song Cheng, having rested for a short while, regained a bit of strength and began to open the cages again.

And so, the rabbit-skin girl, the sheep-skin girl, and the others began to flip-flop repeatedly.

One moment they helped Song Cheng, the next they helped the leopard girl.

It is unknown how much time had passed.

But for Song Cheng, it was actually just a short while, perhaps two or three days' worth of effort.

The tug-of-war continued repeatedly.

Each time it progressed a little, it moved a little further in a direction favorable to Song Cheng.

Looking at it this way, as long as Song Cheng could recover each time, he would always be able to open that final leopard girl's cage.

This time, Song Cheng was still recovering.

But suddenly, he noticed a slight change in the interface.

【Taboo】

1. The first item of the blessings of the Drowned Ghost, Ghost Hair, Burned Ghost, and Ghost Hand has undergone many changes; on the basis of the "blessings of the Drowned Ghost and Ghost Hair," the "blessings of the Burned Ghost and Ghost Hand" have been added.

Song Cheng only felt the black Domain that had originally spread out over the Nine-Layer Nether Tower begin to produce strange partitions... one side like water currents and black-hair shadows, the other side like flames and hands struggling in the fire; the eighth-level trick "Great Dark Heaven" also became "Great Dark Heaven (Mutated)."

Numerous thoughts and changes flashed through his mind.

He vaguely guessed that this was because the Drowned Ghost had basically merged with the Burned Ghost, which was why his changes were caused.

As for the Ghost Hand, it was another Ghost entity possessed by the Burned Ghost.

"Great Dark Heaven."

Song Cheng chanted it once more.

Instantly, with him as the center, a torrent and a flame expanded outward like two fish.

Those men with handlebar mustaches who had been submerged at the bottom of the water, and the guests of the Extreme Bliss World, immediately began to struggle as if they had caught fire.

But after struggling for only a short while, they all ceased to move.

Song Cheng and the rabbit-skin girls arrived once again before the leopard girl's cage.

With a great effort, a sound of a door opening rang out, ear-piercing enough to puncture one's eardrums and tear apart one's Soul.

The leopard girl's cage opened.

Black water and black fire rushed into it.

The scene began to shift and collapse; whether it was the world of black water and black fire, or the cage, it was all like an exquisite and horrifying painting of a hundred Ghosts being burned away.

Song Cheng opened his eyes again.

In Tanghe Village, the black roof ridges were no longer pitch-black like ink, but simply revealed a pure state of decay; the silent, deserted village exuded a foul stench everywhere. Song Cheng leaned down and discovered he was still sitting on that Nine-Pattern Golden Coffin.

He looked at the panel again.

The panel had undergone quite a few changes.

【Add Points: 2127 points】

【Realm: Mysterious Grade, Grade C】

【Ghost Tower Visualization Method】

Eighth Layer Trickery: Great Dark Heaven (Mutated) (0/0)

Seventh Layer Evil Ghost: Human-Skin Ghost

First, the explosive increase in points stunned Song Cheng for a moment; this meant that a very long time had already passed. Calculating that he had arrived at Tanghe Village in early July, it should now be the end of January of the following year.

Second, the seventh layer of the "Ghost Tower Visualization Method" had gained the label "Human-Skin Ghost."

As for the strength data, there were no changes.

Song Cheng subconsciously visualized the Ghost Tower, and then his Soul avatar quickly went to the seventh layer.

The seventh layer, which had been empty, now had quite a few more cages; the guests of the Extreme Bliss World and that man with the handlebar mustache in fine robes began to move as if a play were starting, following Song Cheng's arrival.

"Stop."

With a shift of his thought, these guests all disappeared.

Song Cheng looked at the pile of cages covered by black cloth.

Those were cages arranged in a staircase pattern.

He pulled away the black cloth and saw the rabbit-skin girl, the sheep-skin girl, and the leopard girl at the very bottom, all with dull gazes in their cages.

He opened the leopard girl's cage.

The leopard girl crawled out blankly.

"Hey." Song Cheng called out.

The leopard girl had no reaction.

Song Cheng tried various ways to communicate.

But it ended in failure; the leopard girl was like a crashed machine, without any feedback.

At this moment, he noticed some shadowy little human figures around the cages. Upon looking, he discovered that these were actually Nan Hui, Guan Xi, the original villagers of Tanghe Village, and some unfamiliar Souls.

He had merged with the Human-Skin Ghost, so naturally, he had also harvested these Souls captured by the Human-Skin Ghost.

However, he soon noticed something strange about these Souls.

That was, they appeared distorted and loose, with a feeling that they were about to be completely torn apart.

Clearly, under the intense invasion of Yin energy, although they had been forcibly kept behind, they would disappear completely after a period of time.

Song Cheng tried taking the Soul of one villager to the ninth layer of the Ghost Tower and releasing it.

That villager left the tower in a daze, and then, as if attracted by some gravitational force, headed toward the heights.

This reminded Song Cheng of Yun E's departure.

He did not hesitate and led the vast majority of the Souls to the ninth layer of the Ghost Tower.

One by one, the Souls broke free from their restraints and rose into the sky from the Ghost Tower.

Nan Hui, Guan Xi, the Cripple—but Song Cheng did not release them all; acting on the principle of conducting an experiment, he kept a few of the village's evil people. After finishing many things, Song Cheng realized he was extremely hungry in his stomach, so he carried the Nine-Pattern Golden Coffin on his back and left in a hurry, wanting to find a demonic beast in the wilderness to solve it.

This time, the sealing of the Human-Skin Ghost had failed.

The Golden Coffin was empty.

However, the Human-Skin Ghost had been merged by him again.

He did not know what to make of this.

Not long after he left the village, he suddenly saw people wearing strange robes and pressing down their bamboo hats patrolling among the trees.

The favorability of these people was all around 90.

They were the medicine men made by Tong Niangzi.

Seeing Song Cheng, the leader hurriedly stood up, identified him briefly, then knelt down and shouted: "Master, the Association Leader has been looking for you for a long time."

Association Leader?

The Yin Gui Association? Song Cheng let out a breath and said: "Is everything in the manor still well?"

That person said: "Everything is normal."

Song Cheng nodded; now he was also eager to return home, after all, he had not expected that he would be gone for so long upon leaving.

However, the harvest was not small either.

He did not know what the situation was with the Drowned Ghost.

The Human Skin Ghost is worth him studying carefully.

Besides that, the condition of his body and this fusion process must also be thoroughly investigated.

To some extent, can he, Song Cheng, also be considered a Double Ghost?

Since he is a Double Ghost, is it possible for him to inflict the Reappearance Tribulation upon his sister-in-law?

Within his Reappearance Tribulation, it should be easier for his sister-in-law to make a breakthrough, right?

P. S.: Requesting monthly votes for the beginning of the month, thank you! (End of chapter)
