Chapter 195: Chapter 192: The Solitary Phoenix Shines Bright With Wood and Fire, Commanding the Winds and Frosts of the Backyard.

Two fiercely burning lion heads, originally transformed from demon ghosts through cultivation, could hardly resist the temptation of such a "goodie."

They roared in unison and plunged from the sky simultaneously.

Boom!

But because they fought over it, not only did neither manage to grab the beautifully crafted "copper ball," but they also collided heavily with each other.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the forest where they were.

The two lion heads, face-to-face, thundered,

"Iron Teeth! Do you want to fight?"

"Copper Teeth! Do you think I’m afraid of you?"

Lured by that "copper ball," they seemed to have completely forgotten their duties as protectors, as the flames on their bodies grew fiercer and even their facial features started to emit fire.

That "copper ball" was actually the strongest Rashamon Bone from the Money Box, and the Deceitful Heart it unleashed was something even two Yin God realm Ghost Generals couldn’t escape.

[Ability: Amplifies inner desires! When targeting those in the realm of magic, although it does not drive them mad, it is treated as some kind of precious magic artifact they can no longer bear to part with.]

However, this Rashamon Bone gained later did not consume many victims, hence its growth was limited.

The upper limit of the "Deceitful Heart" could at most affect those at the Yin God realm, and the strength of its effect still needed verification.

In their struggle for the "copper ball", the left and right Fire Bell Generals argued louder and louder, eventually starting to fight each other.

They glared fiercely at each other as their heads began to shake violently.

Lion Shaking Bells!

With a "crackle and pop," countless sparks flew, but what they shook off were not bells.

Once those sparks hit the ground and met the wind, they grew and transformed into a large group of creatures with human heads and insect bodies...lice!

"Taste the power of my Fire Lice Soldiers!"

"You taste the power of my Fire Lice Soldiers too!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The human-headed fire lice’s legs trembled, propelling them into the air, and with terrifying leaping power, they dove toward their opponent like fiery siege crossbows.

In a moment,

large swaths of the forest roared as they fell and burst into great fires, even the continuous light drizzle was evaporated into puffs of white mist.

These two Fire Bell Generals, coupled with Young Master Huadie, a Yin God realm Mage not adept at direct combat, perfectly complemented each other.

If they combined their forces, it would likely be very troublesome.

But at this moment, over a single "copper ball" they fought so fiercely they could not be separated.

The two lion heads flew through the air like two fire meteors, fiercely colliding again and again, each impact echoing for miles.

Even with heads of copper and foreheads of iron, how could they withstand such collisions?

After just a dozen or so hits, they gradually saw stars and became disoriented.

Still incessantly babbling, they cursed each other’s ancestors for generations, neither willing to back down.

The content was so venomous, it was as if the opponent wasn’t their own brother.

Just as they were caught off guard, a Wolf Fang Club suddenly appeared above their heads and struck them hard on the head.

Following two thunderous sounds, the two lion heads both smashed to the ground and rolled twice before stopping moving.

"They’re actually not dead, just knocked out?"

Wang Yuan, standing on water vapor and carrying Morality, descended slowly from the sky, but was surprised to find that these two lion heads did not have heavy "debt."

Although they were far heavier than the previous fox demon Xing’er, with their True Qi realm defensive capabilities, they successfully withstood the strike of "Convince with Virture."

Xing’er, unafraid of the heat, jogged forward and gave a kick to the two lion heads that had knocked themselves out.

"Are these really lions? With this level of intelligence, aren’t they just two stupid spores?"

She casually affixed two "Divine Talismans," personally drawn by Wang Yuan, to their foreheads.

The even less intelligent Fire Lice Soldiers also one by one reverted to their original forms and burrowed back into the curly manes of the two lion heads.

Without bothering with how Xing’er dealt with them, Wang Yuan immediately piled up a massive amount of Mixed Element Thunderbolt next to Young Master Huadie’s body.

He then summoned all of his Yin Officials, Netherworld Ghost Soldiers, and Feather Forest Divine Generals...unsheathing their swords and preparing to teach him how to be human again with abundant "Martial Virtue."

Just as he finished setting the trap, Young Master Huadie’s eyelids suddenly flickered.

The major trouble with his protector Ghost Generals had clearly triggered his alertness, and the Yin God was rapidly withdrawing from the dream realm.

Wang Yuan also immediately felt a deep chill surge from within his heart.But he didn’t rush to give the order to attack.

This was actually the result Wang Yuan and Huang Wu had hoped for.

Although they did not fully trust the intelligence from No-Life Dao, they also dared not directly destroy Young Master Huadie’s body, which still allowed him to maintain a human identity.

If this body, already on the brink of demon and strangeness, was destroyed,

this fellow would likely mutate into some kind of terrifying deceitful creature on the spot and become ten times stronger.

Not only would this not help Mrs. Long Shao out of her predicament, but it would also trap her completely.

This was the "Snake Baiting" following "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors."

As long as they could bring his Yin God back to the real world and add support to Mrs. Long Shao who was struggling desperately, the balance of power could be restored.

By then, an Earth God who had taken root in Yunhe County for many years wouldn’t need them to worry too much.

As they spoke, Huang Wu also fiercely rang the Soul Ringing Bell in the public dream.

Clang——!

In that public dream realm, countless people and beasts were abruptly awakened in a flash, and the power of the dream realm shrank by half instantly.

Among those awakened was Mrs. Long Shao, covered in blood.

Once her eyesight regained clarity, she immediately realized what had happened to her body.

She yelled furiously at the fading silver butterfly:

"Demon, meet your death!"

In the Dharma Domain of Earth God at Mirror Lake, where she had reigned for decades, a formidable force broke through the air and fiercely crushed towards Young Master Huadie.

But this demon had long transcended attachment, unaffected by the desire for victory or defeat. Seeing the effort was futile, he did not hesitate and immediately retreated.

His manner somewhat resembled the assassins from the Killing Temple.

However, just as Wang Yuan had guessed, how could a Yin God Realm Mage reveal all his cards?

Even Master Ge, who was at the True Qi Realm initially, was extremely difficult to kill, let alone him?

The Yin God did not directly retreat to the real world, to his physical body, to enter the encirclement of Wang Yuan’s subordinates.

Instead, right in front of Wang Yuan, his entire physical body suddenly exploded into countless colorful butterflies, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

[Escape Skill·Butterfly Change]

Although they couldn’t keep him, this first perilous assassination attempt from the evil forces was declared a failure.

After some preparations, Wang Yuan’s side would not fall into disadvantage so easily when confronted with a second assassination attempt.

...

Half a two-hour period later, several people returned to the courtyard of Black Water Temple.

The atmosphere, compared to the beginning, had changed significantly.

Mrs. Long Shao looked at Huang Wu and Wang Yuan with extremely gentle eyes, naturally shifting from a senior expert to their sole elder role.

In this dark and deceptive world, the naive and trusting sweethearts, of course, do not live long.

But words from the heart will not deceive. Young Master Huadie did manage to do one good deed by saving them countless trouble by avoiding unnecessary explanations.

At that moment.

In front of Wang Yuan and Huang Wu, the water mist in Mirror Lake gradually revealed scenes from Mrs. Long Shao’s memories.

The past of Concubine (mother) unfolded before them one by one.

The siblings unconsciously held their breath.

The earliest images dated back thirty-five years, when Qingyan had successfully transformed from a Dragon Claw Locust tree demon into a Wood Flood Dragon that could move freely with its body.

From Luoshui, she began to mobilize the water power "Walking Flood Dragon Transforming Dragon."

The dragon body was originally from Dao transformation, different from any creature in the mundane world.

To become a dragon, no matter which method used, it was never easy.

As a northern Flood Dragon, during her journey, she inevitably had to pass through the Turbid River, managed for countless years by the One-Eyed Stone Man.

Wang Yuan and the others had long known that both "Walking Flood Dragon into the Sea" and "Leaping Dragon Gate" align with the Heavenly Dao, a process of concentrating the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism into one.

The One-Eyed Stone Man is the embodiment of Disaster Face from the constant flooding and redirection of the Turbid River over thousands of years, essentially an independent-thinking Deceitful Immortal.

Even though its way of thinking is completely different from normal people, it obviously would not sit idly by and watch someone steal "its" things.

There are even some minor legends that White Sun Bodhisattva resides in the Turbid River and loves to eat dragon liver and dragon gall most!

Luckily.

Thirty-five years ago, the Dragon Qi Prohibition in Red County Divine Land was still strong, "No-Life Dao" and the One-Eyed Stone Man were not as rampant as they are now.

"Although the One-Eyed Stone Man injured Qingyan Sister from afar, she ultimately succeeded in transforming into a dragon.

She temporarily took refuge in my Cave Mansion to recover.

But later, the followers of the ’No-Life Dao’ frequently appeared in Dengzhou Prefecture, aggressively searching for her.

Ironically, Sister Qingyan happened to meet Emperor Jianming, who was then King Jing, and they fell in love at first sight and tied the knot."

The imagery ended there, and Mrs. Long Shao sank into her memories:

"To avoid further pursuit from the One-Eyed Stone Man and ’No-Life Dao,’ my sister dared not go out casually, only relying on the Dragon Qi of King Jing Mansion to conceal her whereabouts.

From start to finish, my sister never revealed her true identity.

Within the entire Cultivation World of Dengzhou Prefecture, only I knew she was a True Dragon, even Emperor Zhou Wenrui, then, thought she was just an ordinary woman."

"During that period, we mostly stayed in touch through letters, seldom meeting, fearing the One-Eyed Stone Man might discover her whereabouts.

However.

Fifteen years ago, in her last letter to me, she mentioned an outsider Daoist had given King Jing a fortune, the hexagram stating: ’Wood and Fire Shine Alone, Thunder Roars Behind the Garden Frost.’

She instinctively felt something was amiss."

"But since she couldn’t hear how they interpreted the fortune, my sister wrote to ask me for my thoughts.

Unfortunately, I didn’t understand it either, and by the time we tried to contact again, several letters had all sunk without a trace.

By the time I learned of any news from King Jing Mansion through other channels, I learned that King Jing Zhou Wenrui had already ascended to the throne, relocating his entire family city from Shanyang to the Capital.

Sister Qingyan also vanished without a trace since then, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Wu, do you know what this hexagram means, where did sister go?"

Mrs. Long Shao spoke while writing the hexagram on the ground: "Wood and Fire Shine Alone, Thunder Roars Behind the Garden Frost."

Wang Yuan and Huang Wu exchanged glances, their hearts shook simultaneously.

Especially the little female ghost, who repeatedly mulled over the phrase, her body trembling slightly.
