Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 127 - 124 Retreat, Retreat, Convert! Convert!

Chapter 127: Chapter 124 Retreat, Retreat, Convert! Convert!

Until today, all the Deceit Objects and Weird phenomena Wang Yuan had encountered were visible in his Unsightly Observation sight.

On the surface, the object before him was an old money box.

In reality, it was like a rotten skeleton, tinged with filthy black and yellow, and the surface was covered with cracks of various sizes.

Bright red blood continuously flowed from these cracks, accumulating in a small pool of blood within an eighth of an acre.

Bloody hands swayed within it like seaweed.

Deep within the cracks, there were densely packed, blood-red eyes, each with a copper coin for a pupil, clearly ancient coins from various eras.

Each Money Eye was like a deep well, as if merely making eye contact could accidentally cause someone to fall into it.

At this moment.

Who knows how many evil spirits and ghosts that had died due to greed were hiding inside the box.

Anyone who dared to be greedy would be violently dragged inside, becoming one of them.

Looking at the money box, Wang Yuan couldn’t help but think of two sayings.

One was: fallen into the money pit. The other was: Men die for wealth, as birds die for food!

He already had a good idea about what kind of killing rules this money box would have.

At that time, the Life Trading Coin he was touching suddenly started to heat up.

The sound of clinking coins began to chant in his ears, including sounds from the money box and the Life Trading Coin:

"...The wise adapt and transform, thus they dig into the copper mountains, look up and down, casting it into coins. Making the insides square as the land and the outer circle as the sky, known as: Kong Fang!"

It was the Money God Scripture Wang Yuan had heard from the Life Trading Coin long ago.

"Money, tastes sweet, greatly hot, and is toxic.

Yet it preserves youth, enriches the fluid, is good at alleviating hunger, and instantly resolves difficulties. It enriches nations, corrupts the virtuous, fears integrity.

Once popular, it can summon divine spirits, communicate with ghostly energies..."

This was his first time hearing the Money Herbology.

In fact, the money box’s original form was that of a Yellow Seal Strange Immortal who had been killed and ranked even above the Joyful Deity who had not obtained a Killing Dao Fruit yet.

It was also above the Yin Yang Heart Bell created by Zhou Jingxiang and Guo Caixu.

This Strange Immortal was one of the founders of the "Six Desires Dusty Road’s" faction in the Wealth Qi Tower a century ago and also the grandmaster of both Song and Qian.

However, after becoming a Deceit Object, the nature of the money box was not a combat Magic Artifact, nor would it be controlled by anyone.

At this moment.

Wang Yuan looked at the countless pairs of "money eyes" in the money box, clearly sensing their intentions.

—They wanted to devour him and the Life Trading Coin he held in his hand!

And they definitely had the capacity to do so.

As long as he violated its Precept Taboos.

By now, there was no doubt that his calamity came from the troubles associated with the Life Trading Coin.

On the surface, he was using "life-saving money" to feed fish, but in reality, the Life Trading Coin itself had not escaped someone else’s pond.

Wang Yuan didn’t run away immediately, who knows what this thing is capable of, and whether it could use the Life Trading Coin to locate and follow him to his home base?

Seeing that there was no one around.

This Deceit Object also did not seem to have an owner.

He decisively stepped forward, extending his hand in a beckoning gesture.

His Yin Morality, which had reached over ten thousand, instantly burned 300 points, and a wave of clean and crisp Divine Light descended from the sky, shining firmly on the money box.

Life and Death Reincarnation, Enlightenment Immortal Light!

Also known as: This treasure is fated to me!

Ding dang—!

At the moment it was struck by the Enlightenment Immortal Light, countless sounds as if copper coins were screaming emanated from inside the box.

The money box had never acknowledged a master before, and even Song and Qian had to follow extremely strict rules to use it.

The reason it could trap people was only due to asymmetry of information.

But now, it was as if a dog leash had been tightly fastened around its neck, beginning to tighten gradually.

Living things have a fundamental characteristic, which can also be said to be an instinct for survival – that is, to seek benefits and avoid harms!

Even a single-celled organism like a paramecium wouldn’t voluntarily dive into sulfuric acid.

As a Deceit Object with the "living" characteristic, it was naturally the same.

Once it sensed danger, it immediately started moving its stubby cabinet legs, stepping backwards step by step, retreating, retreating...

But at this time, its body was like it had rusted and gotten stuck, and even retreating a single step was extremely difficult.

Then.

It was the second and third strands of Enlightenment Immortal Light that once again swept down overhead.

Then, the treasure of the Wealth Qi Tower seemed to gradually become... insane.

Twitching all over like someone afflicted with epilepsy, a massive Rashamon Bone also started to slowly emerge from the cover of the cabinet.

The chanting from within also began to change.

"... By the decree of Taishang, transcend your lone souls, all ghosts and spirits, bless all beings..."

One moment it was the "Money God," another moment it was the "Money Herbology," and yet another, it turned into the attached "Transcendence Scripture" from the "Small Book of Life and Death."

The powerful Weird could use its activated knowledge to corrupt other objects, and the "Small Book of Life and Death" worked by purification the same way.

And the effect of "corruption" was even stronger!

Every time the "Money Box" chanted this part of the "Transcendence Scripture," the "Money Eyes" within its cracks would extinguish.

Then, one by one, liberated souls started floating out from the "Money Box," deeply bowing to Wang Yuan before willingly plunging into the Netherworld.

Even those souls that had died for wealth over the years within the cabinet were transcended by this scripture.

As more and more transcended souls accumulated, a multitude of reminders about accumulated Yin Morality reimbursed the energy Wang Yuan spent using the Enlightenment Immortal Light.

Of course.

After these souls proceed to the Underworld, their first stop was inevitably the river section managed by the Ferryman "Daling Tomb Tiger Wang Wenhua."

One delivers, another collects; this full supply chain model was thoroughly mastered by this father and son duo.

With about two or three more applications of Enlightenment Immortal Light, Wang Yuan would be able to fully secure this Deceit Object that had come knocking on his own door.

Clang—!

A fierce clanging of swords thunderously exploded beside his ears.

Immediately, a dazzling sword light suddenly descended from the sky, aiming straight for Wang Yuan’s brow!

The Deceit Object coming right to his doorstep was clearly not an accident, and the trailing Ghost Replacements that were continuously cut down were just smokescreens released by the adversary, who without much delay, was promptly confronted by the real owner.

Faced with this deadly strike of the Yin God Sword.

Wang Yuan did not even dodge; instead, he calmly waved his hand and cast another Divine Light over the "Money Box."

Huang Wu, responsible for protection by his side, stepped forward.

Her fiery red dress billowing, the Yin Yang Heart Bell around her ankle gently chimed, sending circles of invisible sound waves rippling out from her, forming numerous barriers that stoutly guarded in front of Wang Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, countless layers of barriers formed, severely slowing down the Money Communicating God Sword, which almost came to a complete stop six feet away from Wang Yuan.

The tip of the sword met the bell’s barrier; the intense Spirit Light sparked fiercely, dazzling onlookers.

Right after.

A gust of cold wind blew up, and the wealthy-faced Junior Brother Qian and the Nun Jade Cicada, now in changed clothes, emerged from a "Yin Road."

Apart from Senior Brother Song, who came wielding the Yin God Sword and whose real condition remained unseen, these two were completely unharmed!

And behind them followed a group of hanging ghosts, drowned ghosts, starving ghosts... and so on, revealing the faces of death of over a dozen specters.

Each ghost had a golden Dharma Money placed on their forehead.

If Senior Brother Song’s Money Communicating God Sword pursued the "essence," striving for a sword cultivator’s one-sword-breaks-all-spells,

then Junior Brother Qian’s "Money God Herbology" pursued the "extensive," infinite in means, ever-changing.

This Daoist Skill allowed the crafting of various types of Dharma Money, and could even "buy" others’ spells, storing them for personal use.

The core principle was: When money speaks, even truth must stay silent!

This method of commanding ghosts by now was well known to everyone.

—Money makes the ghosts turn the mill!

Perhaps because of the Joyful Deity blockading the door for the past ten days and Wang Yuan’s precise demolition had been too suppressive, Junior Brother Qian burst out laughing wildly as soon as he stepped out from the Yin Road:

"Haha, do you think you’re the only clever person in the world?

Hiding completely behind the scenes, using ghost substitutes to divert our attention, hoping to slip away in the process?

Little did you expect, our means to pinpoint your real location is not merely that strand of qi.

Targeted by a Money Box from a Strange Immortal, you’ll never escape in this lifetime.

Return our Life Trading Coin immediately, or we’ll use the Money Box to blood sacrifice your entire clan, burying them together with you!"

After venting the pent-up frustration, he suddenly paused.

He realized that the situation on the scene seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.

They had let the uncontrollable Money Box that could eat people at any moment run in front, intending that if luck was on their side, they might manage to swallow the enemy unawares.

Yet, he had never expected that in just a dozen or so breaths, the Money Box would develop serious problems.

This Deceit Object, which had devoured countless Human Dao souls, now trembled like a helpless little beast, its body shaking as if... it was scared?!
