Chapter 95: Chapter 93: Just Like Morning Dew, the Wang Family is Stripped of Their Title

In a corner of the Luoyang Mysterious Realm, right next to a tributary of the Luoshui River, by the Sheshui Bridge.

Wang Family clansmen gathered in small groups.

"Uncle, have you seen our second brother?"

"Yes, and our head of the family too. He was just around, and now he’s vanished without a trace. It’s really anxiety-inducing."

An elderly Tomb Guardian with slightly white hair, holding a smoking pipe in his mouth, patiently consoled several women of his younger relatives:

"This Luoyang City is far from comparable to our small nest, Daling Village. In such a huge Ghost Market, it’s common for people to get separated along the way.

I’ve left the marks of the Tomb Guardians along the road. Perhaps they’ll find their way here before long."

Three two-hours ago, they were swallowed whole by the vast Luoyang Mysterious Realm by the Yili King.

Based on everyone’s original positions on the Bird Beak Slope, they were scattered throughout Luoyang City.

The clansmen of the Daling Wang Family were luckier than others.

Before the glorious display of the Owl God Tomb, they had been frightened into huddling tightly together due to the sudden shattering of the "Golden Cage Prison Bird Formation."

Therefore, after entering the Deceit Realm, they were relatively close to each other, and soon, many began to regroup in twos and threes.

Unfortunately, not a single one of them was a Magician.

Affected by the Deceit Realm, they were completely unaware of the strangeness of this "Luoyang City" and had no recollection that they were actually in the middle of attending a grand ritual for the Yili King.

They thought they had truly come to Luoyang City to enjoy the Mid-year Festival.

The only odd thing was that although more and more clan members were gathering, as they wandered around, a few would inexplicably disappear from their sides.

By the time it reached the 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. period, and each of the amusement places could only kill according to the rules of the Deceit Realm, they caught their breath and counted only thirteen people remaining.

The other Tomb Guardian teams scattered nearby were not faring much better than them.

"Who has some food on them? I’m starving.

My son, Chuan’er, said he would buy me a pancake, but he hasn’t come back yet.

The damned kid must have run off to play somewhere again. With a few coins in his pocket, he’s always thinking about going to the brothel to drink. It’s fine if he gets lost, but if he’s lost the twenty silver Treasure Banknotes his old lady gave him, I’ll break his legs!"

A woman with prominent cheekbones and a narrow forehead, her face marked by a mean streak, pulled out a Treasure Banknote with the words "Life Trading Coin" secretly printed on it and fanned herself with it.

This behavior made it hard to tell whether she was more focused on getting something to eat or showing off her banknotes.

"Chuan’er’s mother, you’re right.

Though Treasure Banknotes aren’t as good as real gold and silver, they are indeed convenient to carry.

However, I just saw a jade bracelet on the street that I wanted to exchange for this banknote, but the stall owner not only refused but also glared at me and ran off with his stand.

The people in Luoyang City, they don’t seem to appreciate what they’ve got, unlike us country folks who know the true value."

Another woman casually pulled out a Treasure Banknote with the words "Life Trading Coin" printed on it and fanned herself as well.

The others had not yet realized that among them, the survivors, almost all had one or two of the "Life Trading Coins" bestowed by the Luoyang King.

They chimed in:

"The vendors here don’t seem to care about money. We can’t even buy food with our banknotes. What a strange world!"

"Could it be that our banknotes are burning hot?!"

"..."

They were originally prepared to receive rewards and have a feast today, with many people having starved since last night in anticipation of eating their fill at the celebration.

They hadn’t eaten a bite until now, and their hunger was growing more intense.

Just then, an old grandmother, staggering as she walked across the Sheshui Bridge, accidentally dropped a plump and fresh-looking small bok choy from the basket hanging on her arm.

It landed right in the river beneath the bridge.

She herself didn’t notice and had walked far away before long.

Spotting the small bok choy, Chuan’er’s mother’s eyes lit up instantly, and she ran to the riverbank to reach for it.

But try as she might, she couldn’t catch it, and the tender bok choy floated further and further away with the ripples.

Many of the Wangs, having come from humble origins, were brimming with pettiness and loved to take advantage of small benefits.

The Deceit Realm continuously magnified all kinds of desires in their hearts—hunger, lust, the need to show off, possessiveness ... even to the extent that they would risk their lives to satisfy these desires.

Such was the case with the gambling-addicted Assistant General, so was the Wang Family house servant obsessed with womanizing, and so was this woman, unable to bear her hunger.

It was another form of "Deceitful Heart."

Finally, as she leaned forward once more in an eager attempt to finally snatch the small bok choy,

She fell into the water with a "plop" sound.

Normally, an adult should have no trouble getting back to shore in the shallow water near the bank,

But she sank as if someone was relentlessly pulling her down.

"Save me! Save me!"

However, the others on the shore kept their heads down, turning a deaf ear, as if they heard nothing at all.

Because what was filling their ears at that moment wasn’t her cry for help, but a scripture seemingly composed of countless clinking coins:

"...Those of supreme wisdom first perceive adaptability, thereby they mine the copper mountains, looking up and down, casting it into coins. Making the inside square to represent the earth, the outer round to represent the heaven, named: ’Kong Fang!’"

"Ergh... Ergh..."

Immediately after, each of them forcefully grasped their own necks and opened their mouths wide.

On everyone’s tongue slowly grew a blood-red ’Life Trading Coin’ as if branded with a red-hot iron!

Not just here, but nearly no one from the surviving members of the Wang Family within the entire range of Luoyang City was spared.

As soon as they had accepted the ’Life-Saving Money,’ they had already sold their lives to the Luoyang King.

From the oldest to the youngest in the clan, not a single person aside from Wang Yuan was left out.

And just as Wei Anning had said, because he was a ’Dao General,’ he was qualified to continue being a dog for the Prince.

But the only thing valuable about a Tomb Guardian was that single life.

Clearly marked, one hundred taels of Treasure Banknotes per life.

Because of the excruciating pain in their throats, some thought of getting up and heading to the river to quench their thirst.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

In the blink of an eye, they fell to the ground like rotten tree trunks, dead, with white smoke rising from their bodies, their entire spirit and Qi-Blood evaporated.

"Run! Run for your lives!"

Even if a few alert ones fled, no matter how far they ran, no matter where they were, it was all a futile struggle in the face of death.

Before entering the Deceit Realm, the ’Rashamon Bone’ had killed a round.

After entering the Deceit Realm, the ’Owl God Tomb’ had killed another round.

The Wang Family members who were lucky enough to survive three Two Hours in the Deceit Realm were already less than one-tenth.

Yet within a short moment, due to the ’Life-Saving Money,’ they all died violently.

The woman in the river saw everything exactly as it happened, although, due to the power struggle between ’Deceit Realm’ and ’Life Trading Coin,’ she was left for last.

But in the end, she too did not escape, and without even a splash, she completely vanished beneath the water’s surface.

When one accepts the ’Life-Saving Money,’ one’s life is no longer one’s own!

Obviously, in this game within the Deceit Realm,

Zhou Wenye, the Luoyang King holding the [Deceit Object·Life Trading Coin], was the one who could still afford the price after breaking the rules.

And that cost was forcibly imposed on others!

But then again, in this Divine Deceit World, how many truly heartfelt, swift acts of vengeance are there?

Perhaps one day enemies will fill the sky.

Yet some enemies are like dew on weeds, which might disappear before you can even exact revenge on them.

Merely by casually visiting a brothel, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone...

...

At the same time, a few ljafang away in Flower Street,

Bang!

The door of Red Sleeve was finally reopened.

Wang Yuan retied his belt, patted his stomach, and muttered dissatisfactorily,

"Mediocre."

Even though those guests and beauties who rely on the Deceit Realm Blessed Land for existence, in appearance and touch, are no different from real people,

In reality, they are essentially insubstantial, their remaining Qi Fortune not even comparable to the weakest Wandering Soul.

’Rashamon Bone’ took just the time to drink a cup of tea to consume the entire Red Sleeve, but the Primordial Qi Wang Yuan gained was less than half from the last time he raided a den of thieves.

Not a bit of Yin Morality was gained either.

These residues were nothing more than tools used to provoke various desires in the living, no different from knives and swords.

And to think that all of this was the leftovers eaten by the Yili King, Wang Yuan even felt a bit squeamish.

Stepping out of Red Sleeve, just as he picked up his pace, familiarly preparing to head to the next brothel to complete the next transaction,

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of something "squatting" quietly in the dark corner of the street.

His pupils suddenly narrowed, and he looked down, ready to hurry away.

But that "thing" also saw him at the same time. After a brief moment of daze, its face suddenly lit up with joy:

"Brother Cui? Even if you’ve changed, I can tell it’s you. You’re Brother Cui, right?

Brother Cui, it’s me!

Brother Cui, look, I can run and jump all by myself now, isn’t that great?"

"Brother Cui, why are you running?

Are you unhappy that I’ve become like this? Wait for me! Don’t run!!!"
