Chapter 128: Chapter 125 Joyful Deity Causes Chaos, Bartering Goods

Amidst the pitch-black forest, swordlight screamed, bell chimes rippled, and ghosts wailed...

In the aftermath of the battle, birds and beasts scattered in fright, and great trees crashed down with thunderous roars.

Sworn enemies glared at each other with exceptional enmity.

Although the "Wealth Spirit Tavern" was completely at a loss as to why the powerful Deceit Object from the eerie immortals had malfunctioned.

It didn’t stop them from striking together at once.

Senior Brother Song, wielding his Yin God Sword, was mercurial; realizing something was wrong with the bell chimes, he immediately abandoned the stalemate.

With a flick of his sword, the Money Communicating God Sword actually disassembled into pieces.

The fierce sword qi, along with one hundred and eight copper coins, burst forth like a shower of flowers scattering money, enveloping every inch of space around Huang Wu.

More importantly, after a brief exchange of moves, the host of Wealth Spirit Tavern had recognized that the bell Huang Wu relied on was a rare and powerful Deceit Object.

It was likely even a relic left by the eerie immortals.

If they could obtain this controllable Deceit Object, they certainly wouldn’t have to flee for their lives again when facing the Joyful Deity.

Greed flared up in their hearts!

They wanted not only the Life Trading Coin but also this Deceit Object bell!

One matter concerned the Taoist Inheritance Artifact, the other their life and safety; they couldn’t bear to relinquish either.

For Wang Yuan’s side, the logic was the same.

Merely by examining the Tribulation Energy, it was clear.

To completely erase the Tribulation Energy, one method was to convert the Money Box, the original source of contamination of the Life Trading Coin, turning it to their side;

The other method was to thoroughly deal with these pursuers.

If they fled now, the remaining three-quarters of Tribulation Energy would only accumulate and burst out the next time around.

They hadn’t forgotten that by noon today, the Great Yan Dynasty might face the biggest change in over two hundred years since its founding.

No one could see clearly where they, Beimang Mountain, Luoyang City, and the countless civilians of the Great Yan Dynasty would go after today.

No doubt, it was wiser to eliminate all hidden dangers while they could.

Seeing the Copper Coin Sword change its attack, Huang Wu immediately uttered a light rebuke:

"With a sweep of the bell, I bow and fight; inducing soul loss and severing life, Soul Hooking!"

The girl rose three feet off the ground, her bare feet dancing lightly on beaters, the two bells on her ankles tolling a special melody.

Bell after bell after bell...

The sound of the bells was no longer as pleasant as before, every resounding note seemed like a soul-hooking line, aiming fiercely for the Yin Gods hidden in each coin.

Soul Loss Bell!

It mattered not that the little ghost girl lacked combat experience, for the main force in battle was the Yin Yang Heart Bell itself.

The power the Deceit Object could unleash did not rely on its master but depended on the strength of the ’Weird’ in its past life.

And Huang Wu, holding the Yin Yang Heart Bell, was undoubtedly the strongest combatant among the three, even without "Receiving Talisman Enlightenment."

In terms of sheer attacking power, she was already capable of battling a Yin God Realm for a short time without falling behind.

Lady Peach Fairy didn’t take her position within the Five Senses Altar City but acted alone.

With one move, "Peach Immortal Bends Three Thousand Miles," she summoned countless "Ghost Clappings" throughout the mountain, trapping the Jade Cicada nun within.

The two exchanged deadly blows, sometimes toe-to-toe.

For a while, it was hard to distinguish a victor, yet they restrained each other.

On Wang Yuan’s side...

The "Money Communicating God Seal" within him, although very versatile, lacked a definitive finishing blow at the current stage.

He boldly leaped and transformed into a majestic giant White Tiger, fiercely pouncing towards Junior Brother Qian of the True Qi Realm.

Immediately, dragons brought clouds, and tigers brought wind!

A rolling Yin wind followed him, and the scream of the ghost fire almost formed a pale-green whirlwind; mortals would be blown to nothingness, with their essence blood completely drained.

Junior Brother Qian thought that a Magician who practiced the Ghost Path must have a frail body.

Yet he didn’t anticipate that after Wang Yuan transformed into the White Tiger, his pure speed, strength, and physique were comparable to that of a Dao General.

He was almost torn into three pieces after being pounced upon, flipped over, and slashed by Wang Yuan.

However, he didn’t rely solely on Daoist Skills like Master Ge to attain exceptional life force; he had other means to defy pain.

This was because the eleven Life Trading Coins he had recalled contained countless lives stained with greed.

Substituting others for his death, his frightening injuries instantly recovered as if time had reversed.

If one life was not enough, he’d use two; if two were not enough, then three...

Unless confronted with a disaster that could simultaneously kill tens of millions, all those purchased lives could compensate.

In the moment he recovered, Junior Brother Qian released a handful of Dharma Money at close range towards the White Tiger’s head, transforming into a barrage of flame streams, poison smoke, and thunderbolts from a clear sky...

He engulfed both Wang Yuan and himself within it.

Daring to fight to the death using mystical Daoist Skills.

Luckily, Wang Yuan was no less cunning.

As countless Dharma Money was about to engulf him, he turned into a paper tiger, swallowed by the rolling flames, while his true body had already flashed to the side.

They hurt each other, yet neither could inflict the final blow.

Both cursed inwardly:

"Sneaky!"

In this dangerous world, it was clear that every Red Seal Mage who survived and advanced was no ordinary individual.

As Wang Yuan’s Ghost Replacements were slain and Junior Brother Qian’s stock of lives dwindled,

Their deadly fight turned into a battle of attrition.

All offense and no defense, it was a matter of who had more lives to spare.

This deadlock of a battle continued for nearly fifteen minutes, almost destroying the forest in the process.

The deadlock was finally broken by an unexpected interlude.

Bell!

In yet another widespread bombardment of the "Yin Yang Heart Bell" and the "Money Communicating God Sword," a bell sound twisted violently as if alive.

It veered off the battlefield, "coincidentally" striking the Jade Cicada nun, who was in the heat of battle with Lady Peach Fairy.

This debauched nun had countless "protégés" in her lifetime.

It didn’t surprise anyone that she was intermittently targeted by the wrathful attacks of the "Yin Yang Heart Bell."

Even the mere aftermath of the battle left her divine soul momentarily dazed.

Had it been any other time, it would have been negligible, but at this moment, Lady Peach Fairy immediately seized the opportunity.

"Imperial Decree!"

She launched the peach wood hairpin from her hand like a powerful crossbow.

Before the Deceit Object Golden Bracelet could react, the hairpin burrowed into Jade Cicada’s chest in an instant, sprouting roots and devouring her flesh and divine soul completely.

With Lady Peach Fairy’s shrewdness, she immediately transformed into a streak of light after crisply killing the Jade Cicada nun, and fiercely entered Wang Yuan’s body, with the Wood Official returning to its place.

She also avoided the vengeful counterattack of the "Money Communicating God Sword."

"Junior Sister Jade Cicada!"

A thunderous roar boomed from the sky, as Senior Brother Song, in his Yin God state, sent reverberating waves of thunder through the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He had to temporarily let go of his greed for a powerful "Deceit Immortal Relic," abandoning Huang Wu and bracing against the incessant Soul-Breaking Bell Sound, sharply turning to attack Wang Yuan.

Clearly, he intended to mimic the other, even if it meant paying a terrible price.

Wang Yuan was compelled by his formidable killing intent.

Momentarily feeling the threat of a formidable enemy, Lady Peach Fairy rapidly possessed him and, under the state of the White Tiger, the surrounding forest came to life, ready to pounce and attack Senior Brother Song with bared teeth and claws.

However,

The "Money Communicating God Sword" had just flown halfway when it seemed to suffer a heavy blow, its originally brilliant sword light suddenly dimmed.

"Senior Brother, what happened to you?"

The Junior Brother Qian on the ground turned pale.

A cry of alarm came from the sky:

"Not good! The ’Joyful Deity’ found me, the ’Joyful Deity’ has come to me!"

No sooner had the words fallen than the flying sword nearly fell straight from the sky.

On hearing this, everyone was startled.

Hurriedly, they widened the distance and turned to look towards the direction of the "Hundred Ghosts Forest."

They saw a figure in black garb, with a tall hat on their head, standing silently before the ruins, framed by blazing firelight.

In the blink of an eye, half of Senior Brother Song’s fleshly body, left behind in the "Joyful Deity Building" due to his Yin God Emergence, had merged with the body of the "Joyful Deity."

They had been relieved to find the lost "Life Trading Coin" after forfeiting their sanctuary.

But they hadn’t anticipated that in just the short span of less than a quarter of an hour, the "Joyful Deity" on a similar path would find and claim Senior Brother Song’s body.

Taboo: A direct collision meant certain death!

They could evade temporarily, but not for a lifetime.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan unexpectedly checked his own Qi Fortune and found it was still the "1" Red Light Shielding Life from when he’d broken through the Red Seal earlier.

There were no significant fluctuations, and he realized this time wasn’t due to his own burgeoning Qi Fortune.

Instead, it was simply the turn of the two Magicians from the "Joyful Deity Building" to run out of luck after a series of coincidences.

Seeing the "Joyful Deity," comparable to a Yellow Seal Mage, turning his head,

Wang Yuan immediately planned to run.

"Don’t run, leave the ’Life Trading Coin’!"

In the midst of this crisis, the two were still desperately clinging to the conflict.

As they prepared to pounce again, dragging him and his companions down with them,

Wang Yuan quickly thought on his feet, and to the amazement of the Senior Brother Song and Junior Brother Qian, after releasing Wind Officer Zhu’s restrictions, he truly tossed the "Life Trading Coin" he held in his hand to them.

While they fumbled to catch the copper coin amidst their confusion,

Wang Yuan had already used the opportunity to bestow the final "Enlightenment Immortal Light" upon the "Money Box."

Ding——!

With that, perhaps the eighth or ninth Immortal Light shining down, the "Rashamon Bone" on the lid of the "Money Box" was finally fully formed.

The "Deceit Object" finally pledged allegiance at Wang Yuan’s feet.

Whoosh!

The tribulation energy above his head dissipated greatly, leaving behind no more than a tenth.

Unless he collided head-on with those two men again, this bit of tribulation energy was no longer a concern.

Wang Yuan beckoned lightly.

A "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains" spell promptly made the no-longer resisting "Money Box" fall into the "Wanxiang Bag."

He glanced at the rapidly approaching "Joyful Deity" who seemed to shift instantly, covering dozens of yards in one step, then grabbed Huang Wu’s hand and leaped into the Yin Road together.

Behind them,

Senior Brother Song and Junior Brother Qian, desperately fleeing in another direction, watched the "Money Box" disappear into the distance and the twelve "Life Trading Coins" now complete in their hands, their hearts a mix of sorrow and joy.

You have a "Deceit Object," I have a "Deceit Object"; after an exchange, each still holds a "Deceit Object."

They were uncertain whether it was a loss or a gain to trade a "Money Box," which they completely failed to control, for one of the indispensable "Life Trading Coins" needed to forge the "Six Desires Dusty World Umbrella."

Of course, it was mainly because they were unaware.

The "Life Trading Coin" in their possession was not just filled with the massive amount of human lives and Red Dust Qi collected over more than a decade.

If they really used the "Deceit Object," now in the shape of the "Small Book of Life and Death," as material for the "Taoist Inheritance Artifact · Six Desires Dusty World Umbrella,"

It would be akin to a newlywed beauty secretly leaving a door ajar for Old Wang at night...
