Chapter 37: Mission Accomplished and Withdrawing
This fire basin was like purgatory, surrounded by raging flames, and the ghostly power belonging to the Drowning Ghost in Lin Feng's body began to gradually fail to hold up.
Clearly, the ghostly intensity of this fire was superior to the power of the Drowning Ghost's corpse water. However, the next moment, the Tou Gui appeared beside Lin Feng.
Filthy blood and corpse water spread out from under his feet again to contend with the surrounding flames, and at the same time, his own green ghost fire also surrounded him to confront the ghostly power in the surroundings.
"Boom~"
Then, Lin Feng held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and poked it directly into the flames below. The Golden Cudgel grew rapidly in size and length, and Lin Feng also rose continuously, seemingly about to break free from this fire basin.
But the next moment, several huge pieces of paper money drifted down from the sky like giant nets, covering Lin Feng's head.
"Watch Old Sun pierce the sky!"
However, Lin Feng was not afraid; instead, he raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and smashed it fiercely at this paper money.
At the same time, outside the fire basin, the Puppet Ghost and the Tanshi Gui also arrived in front of this ghost burning paper money.
Under the control of the other two heads of Lin Feng's three-headed, six-armed form, these two ghosts attacked the ghost from different directions.
But what Lin Feng didn't expect was that as long as they approached this paper-burning ghost, they would be indiscriminately pulled into the fire basin and burned by the flames.
And in mid-air, after Lin Feng poked through several pieces of paper money, his strength was exhausted, and his body began to fall downward uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
"Boom~ Boom~"
However, the four ghosts that Lin Feng had summoned were all involved, and the strength of both the Xi Gui and the Tanshi Gui had reached the level of a Fierce Ghost. No matter how powerful this fire basin was, it couldn't suppress so many Guiyi.
A large amount of flames began to be suppressed, the Tanshi Gui even opened its mouth to swallow the surrounding flames directly, and the range of the filthy blood and corpse water was also gradually expanding.
The paper-burning ghost outside kept throwing new paper money into the fire basin, but the next moment, the cloak on Lin Feng's back grew rapidly, and tattooed evil ghosts jumped off it one after another.
These tattooed evil ghosts had different forms and looked ferocious and terrifying, but at this very moment, under Lin Feng's control, these evil ghosts raised their arms one after another to support the huge paper money falling from the sky.
Then, Lin Feng shouted loudly, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand became huge again. With a few flashes and jumps, he finally broke the shackles of the fire basin and broke free from it.
The paper-burning ghost outside was still adding paper money to the fire basin, but the next moment, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven jumped fiercely in front of it, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand smashed down on its head.
However, the strength of this ghost was not weak. Just as the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was about to touch it, the paper money in the paper-burning ghost's hand turned blood-red, with strange patterns carved on it.
Then, this red paper money increased crazily in layers, and one piece after another spread toward Lin Feng's body.
"Bang!"
At the same time, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in Lin Feng's hand also landed successfully, smashing the head of the paper-burning ghost, and the power of the Xi Gui and it instantly collided fiercely.
However, just as Lin Feng was preparing to use his three heads and six arms to subdue this ghost, the red paper money beside him actually wrapped around half of his body.
The seemingly thin layer of paper money was like iron casting, and the part of his body wrapped by the paper money was immediately unable to move.
"Boom~"
Seeing this situation, Lin Feng immediately used ghost fire to resist, and at the same time, he summoned all the ghosts still in the fire basin through the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture*.
The Tou Gui immediately used blood-colored threads to trap the paper-burning ghost that was confronting the Xi Gui, and the Puppet Ghost stepped forward to place its hands on the ghost's body to forcibly suppress it.
And the Tanshi Gui opened its mouth to gnaw on the red paper money on Lin Feng's body. These special paper money couldn't play much of a role in the face of the Tanshi Gui.
Soon, Lin Feng broke free from the shackles, while this paper-burning ghost was forcibly suppressed by Lin Feng's multiple ghosts and fell into a state of silence.
After successfully breaking free, Lin Feng directly sank this ghost into the corpse water to suppress it, and then took away the special fire basin with the Puppet Ghost carrying it.
At the same time, the originally unusually lively Ghost Street gradually underwent changes. The originally prosperous and lively scene became extremely dilapidated.
The ghosts and ghost slaves wandering on the street basically disappeared, the special shops on the street turned into dilapidated and decayed appearances, and even the vendors on the street disappeared.
It seemed that after Lin Feng successfully suppressed the paper-burning ghost, it triggered some chain reaction, making this Ghost Street return to its true appearance.
"Senior! Senior!"
Suddenly, Su Xiao, who looked somewhat disheveled in the distance of the street, ran toward him. Beside him were many soldiers wearing strange iron armor and Bai Yuanlong, whom Lin Feng had seen before.
Besides that, there were some ordinary soldiers with terrified faces and looking like they had been greatly frightened, and Qin Annian followed behind.
"You found them?"
Seeing this, Lin Feng understood instantly that it must be that after the Incense Temple disappeared, it released these living people who had been drawn into it.
"Yes, but thousands of soldiers, as well as a large number of refugees, all became goods for the Incense Temple on the Ghost Street. They couldn't be saved and couldn't be rescued..."
Hearing this, Su Xiao's face looked somewhat ugly, and the others beside him were all extremely low in morale.
The true strength of the Incense Temple was truly terrifying. Thousands of soldiers, along with Bai Yuanlong, were drawn into it and directly became the hunting targets of those ghosts on the Ghost Street.
In the eyes of the Incense Temple, they were simply walking ghost-raising materials. The wreath shop that Lin Feng encountered earlier had most of its contents composed of Guiyi and human bodies, which was enough to show the terror of this place.
After Lin Feng heard his explanation, he looked toward the center of the town. This time, neither darkness nor smoke could block his sight.
It allowed him to see the situation inside clearly: a small temple stood in the center of Changshou Town, and the statue inside had already disappeared.
Besides that, there was nothing else. It seemed that just when Lin Feng was dealing with that paper-burning ghost, the people of the Incense Temple had already transferred and left along with the surrounding ghosts.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Lin Feng also lost interest in continuing the pursuit. His harvest from coming here this time was already enough.
Hearing Lin Feng say this, Su Xiao immediately used his Ghost Domain to take everyone away. The impact he received from entering this strange town this time was not small.
He had to return to the Ghost Prison as soon as possible to suppress his own ghostly power, otherwise, it wouldn't be long before he would completely lose control.
Just as the sky was brightening, Lin Feng had already returned to the wooden house. This time, the job of assisting the Ghost Suppression Division had brought him a not-insignificant harvest.
That fire basin for burning paper money was definitely a powerful ghost object, and the power of that paper-burning ghost was not weak. Besides that, there was also a large reward of ghost objects given to him by the Ghost Suppression Division.
This made Lin Feng feel like he had become rich overnight. However, the specific utility of these things still required him to take time to study them slowly.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo~"
The sky broke at dawn, the rooster crowed, and a new day arrived once again.
Lin Feng tidied up his clothes simply, then opened the door and came into the small courtyard.
"Woo-woo~"
Hearing Lin Feng's footsteps, Wangcai immediately ran out of the kennel and came to him, circling around.
After yesterday's marrow-cleansing and hair-cutting with internal energy, Wangcai's fur had become smooth to the naked eye.
Even its body had changed slightly, although it was not particularly obvious yet. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
