Chapter 409: Chapter 406 Evil Spirits, Blowing Horns and Connecting Camps

In Yunjing City, residents who had been enjoying the lantern festival regained consciousness, returning to the normal timeline of "August 15th".

Most of them hadn’t even noticed that something had occurred to them over the past three days.

They were unaware that the calamitous disaster foretold by the "Singing Rhyme Child" had just narrowly missed them.

Only the tourists who happened to be near the Imperial City screamed at the sight of the Imperial Palace, which had been reduced to ruins strewn with corpses, and rivers of blood.

Some immediately fled, spreading panic far and wide; others, driven by curiosity, gathered closer to point and comment on what lay within the palace.

Especially the men and women who appeared abruptly atop the piles of rubble.

Many instinctively identified them as assassins.

"Damn it, they ran off before we even saw their faces!"

Looking at the Jade Ruyi that disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye, the group that was thrown out looked rather sour.

"That Heavenly Official, the ’Heir’ with higher authority that chose to send us out instead of commanding the guards to kill us together in the small domain.

It’s very likely because he was newly born and wasn’t sure of victory—we probably missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With red light surrounding the room and the fragrance lingering, this child will surely be a serious thorn in our sides if we don’t deal with him!

I have a feeling the enmity we’ve started today is far from over."

After a flicker in his gaze, Wang Yuan could only come to this conclusion.

He had firmly decided to let Xing’er, who managed the business of hiring assassins, issue a "Jianghu Assassination Order" at the "Cloud Tower Ghost Market".

By spreading a vast amount of silver coins and various cultivation resources, professional organizations like the "Killing Temple" would immediately be on the move.

Even if they couldn’t kill the target right away, at least they could bring back some detailed information.

Old Master Wang wasn’t like the villains in novels, would he be foolish enough to let such a destiny-favored child of fortune grow uncontested?

Of course not, assassinations and sneak attacks from dawn till dusk, he would immediately arrange the full supreme package for him!

Even now, Wang Yuan had yet to realize what sort of astonishing being had been born to the three concubines.

And that it was an extra-special version supplemented by Zhou Wenrui!

At this moment.

Alarms suddenly went off in Wang Yuan’s mind. He grabbed Huang Wu beside him, and with a slight flicker, narrowly evaded a white flash as fast as lightning.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a brief cry of agony.

A scholar, hesitating at the edge of the ruins as if debating whether to risk entering the palace to save the emperor,

was struck by the relentless "Rabbit," which continued to pursue Huang Wu, falling into a "Medicine Mortar".

With a "thud, thud, thud," the Rabbit crushed him into a frog pill, and stuffed it into its mouth.

This time, there was no "Killing Banquet" to contest the labor’s fruit, allowing it to eat a small snack in peace.

"Lucky it wasn’t anyone good."

Although an innocent bystander was affected, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu were somewhat relieved.

They saw clearly that the scholar was none other than Chen Niangu, who leeched off a woman and yet "struck his true love first" upon returning to shore.

The two had been trapped in a "August 13th" time loop three times. Each time they attempted to deal with this man, the timeline would just reset.

Just as they had almost forgotten this insignificant character, he popped up again and threw himself right into the rabbit’s mouth.

Indeed, destiny plays its own hand.

Watching as the "Rabbit" finished its snack and was about to charge at them again.

The target it chose, if not protected by a "Divine Transformation" realm Dharma Domain, would have no chance to resist.

Thousands of No-Life Dao Daoist Soldiers and Magicians had all painfully confirmed this.

The only "Divine Transformation" realm Mage Du Sanbei stepped forward, only to be stopped by Wang Yuan.

"You can stop it temporarily, but not forever, leave it to me."

He sent Huang Wu into the "Five Senses Altar" and drew the Rabbit’s attention to himself.

Then, a line of green light shot from his head, manifesting his "Lifebound Magic Treasure: Small Book of Life and Death," which turned with a swivel into the "Black Book," in charge of "punishing evil."

Although Wang Yuan’s current "Earth Essence" level of cultivation was far from sufficient to unleash the full potential of this treasure,

after the upgrade in authority, it was now possible to use it for dueling.

Wang Yuan performed a Seal and once again chanted the familiar spell:

"Cold light shines with Beidou, divine power shakes heaven and earth! Ghost King, come to the altar!"

In an instant.

The "Black Book" let out a roar of dignity, its jade cover growing a multitude of fierce teeth.

Amid a stench-filled gust, it suddenly opened a mouth as tall as a city gate.

As the "Rabbit" once again turned into a ray of light charging towards him, Wang Yuan leaped into the enormous maw.

This was the deep-access permission the "Small Book of Life and Death" had granted him, which he could employ by infusing it with mana: Evil Spirits, Hundred Ghosts Netherworld Cave, Red Pen Decision!

Before his enlightenment.

Wang Yuan could only borrow a mere breath of the "Dharma Protector Ghost King" by spending Yin Morality, to fend off the Nightmare Suppressing Power of the "Weird".

Now, finally able to use his own power, he could summon various evil spirits, including the "Dharma Protector Ghost King" from the Tao Lineage.

Although he could only summon a part of this Dharma Protector Ghost King for the time being.

Against a regular Divine Transformation Mage, it’s merely a decoration, but it’s just right for dealing with this single-minded rabbit.

"Rabbit’s Flight": The pursuit of the Jade Rabbit is like the sun rising and the moon setting, from dawn to dusk.

Once it sets its target, it never stops its paces, nor is there any gap, nor can any obstacles stand in its way.

Seeing that his target was about to flee, Rabbit Lord immediately chased after Wang Yuan into the gaping maw.

The Ghost King’s huge mouth snapped shut, swallowing them whole.

In fact, once the pattern was figured out.

These Weird creatures that kill according to set rules are much easier to deal with than those Weird Immortals with self-consciousness.

Since Rabbit Lord insists on hunting Huang Wu like a "Jianghu Assassination Order" from morning to night, from sunrise to moonset, not even allowing them time to "cultivate" together.

Could Old Master Wang possibly endure this?

Haven’t you heard, the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common folks are not allowed to light lamps?

With a backhand, send it down to Hell!

This Dharma Protector Ghost King’s stomach and intestines are directly connected to the deepest level of the eighteen layers of Hell.

It is known as the "Nine Serenities," a place with no grass on the mountains, no peaks touching the sky, no travelers on the ridges, no clouds entering the caves, no water flowing in the streams, in short, a place devoid of anything.

It is the most terrifying place in the Yin Department according to legends.

Since ancient times, the Netherworld has been a one-way street, even the Corpse Dissection Immortal going down cannot come back alive, let alone a mere Divine Transformation Weird?

In the blink of an eye, Wang Yuan was spat back out by the Dharma Protector Ghost King.

Once it’s past the 15th of August, when Rabbit Lord’s power is at its greatest, he can surely make a proper mess of it again.

Spicy rabbit head, golden medal rabbit legs, hot and spicy diced rabbit... arrange them all for it.

At this time, seeing the turmoil in the city getting worse, after calling for the Imperial Dragon Guard to enter the city to maintain order, several people immediately began to clean up the battlefield.

The incarnation of Taibai also fed the "Pu Lao Bell," transformed from a human head left by Zhou Xinglou, to the "Yin Yang Heart Bell."

The latter, in addition to the "Soul Loss Bell," "Dragon Head Skull Demon," and "Yin Yang Shift/Yin Yang Union," birthed a new ability once more.

— "Blowing Horns and Connecting Camps."

An independent space is formed within the bell, capable of accommodating a vast number of Yin Soldiers.

As long as you slay living beings or fierce ghosts, evil spirits, and even collect various residual souls about to dissipate, you can rapidly grow ordinary Yin Soldiers.

Though not an offensive ability, it is clearly a strategic level weapon of mass destruction.

"Not bad, not bad, seeing that a big battle is inevitable in these troubled times, it’s like pillows coming just as one falls asleep."

Wang Yuan’s forces only number just over six thousand, which is almost the limit in the short term.

Even if he controls more City God Temples, scavenges more Yin Soldiers.

After using up the Heavenly and Earth Spiritual Root like the Flat Peach, it’s very difficult to produce more Daoist Soldiers with usable battle power in a short time.

He was originally concerned that for a long time to come, the number of Daoist Soldiers under his command would only dwindle and not increase.

Unless he could expand the recruitment to the Underworld Yin Department.

But such an action would weaken the strength of his own home base.

This "Blowing Horns and Connecting Camps" has provided him with an alternative.

In the chaos of the times, there’s no shortage of things, just a plethora of residual souls left behind as various True Spirits depart, born and perished on a whim.

This moment, Wang Yuan’s Biography has also undergone a transformation.
