"One hundred and thirty-five years."

Hong Linggui extracted the general memories from the remnant soul of the Holy Nun and recounted the events that had transpired there.

The Holy Nun, or rather the obsession associated with that name, has been hiding here for 135 years, reviving five times. The multi-legged nun is the next Holy Nun. When the previous one dies, she is sacrificed to inherit the obsession of the Holy Blood, until she is consumed by the obsession and believes that she is the Holy Nun.

“Every month on the next day, a mage will come to her seeking holy blood.”

"The blood of the Holy Nun has a calming effect on obsessions, allowing the souls parasitizing the mage's arm to experience a brief respite, but it will increase the power of the next outburst..."

"tomorrow?"

A magician who could spiral out of control at any moment...

According to the nun's description, only the left hand of this mage still retained a human-like appearance; the rest of his body had long been eroded away by magical patterns.

In a sense, he has become a demonic entity with only an uncontrollable obsession left, except that the obsession in his heart has not yet been devoured by the other obsessions parasitizing his body.

"Could it be Galahad, the mage who appeared in the original storyline?"

Lin Feng was puzzled, but unfortunately the mage described by the Holy Nun had not revealed his name. In the original story, Galahad's body was only corrupted by half, and the appearance of the mutated parts on his body was different from that described by the Holy Nun.

"Holy Blood..."

Lin Feng glanced at the small bottle that had rolled away on the ground, then his gaze swept across the entire underground space.

...

"The nun is dead."

Before the rift, Lin Feng, carrying a bag of holy blood, along with Yu and Si Zang, awaited a mage shrouded in a black robe.

A beast-like roar asked, "How did you die?"

"It has turned into a demon," Lin Feng replied.

"Heh...she couldn't hold on any longer." The mage sneered and lowered his head: "You sacrificed her?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It wasn't us."

The mage was silent for a few seconds, and just as he took out a bag of gold coins, Lin Feng interrupted him, saying, "This bag of things is what she left for you."

The mage's hand trembled slightly, and he let out a long breath before taking the bag from Lin Feng: "Who are you people?"

"Ordinary people," Lin Feng replied, then asked, "We heard there's been some trouble these past few days, and we'd like to know which way is safer to go."

The mage immediately had a clear guess about Lin Feng and the others: "A super-large monster has appeared on the Eastern Continent. Unless it's something important, don't go there for the next six months."

“A group of mages of unknown origin appeared in Water City. They killed five mages, and Afaron has issued a kill order. I’m heading there.”

Lin Feng said with some surprise, "Aqualis, the Water City? We're planning to go there too."

"What are you doing there? Never mind, you don't need to answer me..."

Aqualis, the water city, should have been a nice place, but a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder became its governor and attempted to clean the entire city. In the process of constantly cleaning, the person came to believe that humans were the real filth and was thus transformed into a giant bottle that floated in the air, constantly spewing out bubbly water to "cleanse" the entire city.

"I will not travel with you," the mage said coldly. "I have other missions to complete."

Lin Feng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we just want to know some information so that we can escape in advance if we encounter it."

“Those people use a kind of shadow magic that turns monsters into their puppets. If you are caught by chance, you will become their puppets too.” The mage took out a bottle of holy blood, swallowed it in one gulp, and left without looking back: “Those places are not for you.”

The beast-like roar seemed to have gained a touch of human emotion. He casually placed the empty bottle on the ruins to the side and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight in a few steps.

"Going to the Water City?" Si Zang came over and asked.

“No…” Lin Feng shook his head: “That enormous monster in the east was most likely created by another team.”

After all, this mission world might not be of much value to them, but it would be extraordinary in the hands of the Evil Yuan Path.

Si Zang replied lazily, "Let's ask Tang Hong when he gets back; he should have found out some things."

In the afternoon, Tang Hong, who had been missing for almost a day and a night, finally returned. His slightly disheveled face showed a hint of panic. Upon seeing Lin Feng and the others, he couldn't help but exhale: "Don't go east."

"Hey, what happened? Is that super-sized monster really that powerful?" Shizang's eyes darted around, and he crossed his legs and laughed.

Tang Hong calmed himself down slightly: "He's not a monster, he's a participant who plans to use the rules of this world to advance to the Earth level."

Si Zang immediately stopped laughing, but after a moment's thought, he roughly understood: "Could it be your enemy?"

“No, I don’t know him. He is indeed a participant in the Evil Yuan Path. In addition, he has some conflicts with his teammates…” Tang Hong continued, “Three martial arts masters, slightly weaker in strength, but their moves are very exquisite.”

Lin Feng asked, "Have you been in contact with them?"

"No, I was just discovered, but his teammates had a falling out with him, so I took the opportunity to test them with a punch, and then got punched back." Tang Hong let out a long breath: "That guy from Xie Yuandao, I don't know what he's been practicing, it's really weird."

Si Zang asked, "So, how strong is the opponent?"

"It's hard to say. I only used a fraction of my strength and didn't really hurt him." Tang Hong shook his head. He knew very well what kind of strength someone who could advance to the Earth level would have. Even if it was a sneak attack, this little test was nothing.

At this moment, Lin Feng spoke up: "The other team of participants is near Water City, and they will likely move eastward next."

"Oh?" Tang Hong was surprised, then suddenly realized something and looked at everyone in astonishment: "A super-large monster? Water City...you all knew about it all along?"

"No, I just knew a little bit earlier than you." Si Zang raised his hand, rubbed his freshly trimmed nails, and smiled leisurely.

"Are you really planning to go to the Eastern Continent?" Tang Hong asked solemnly, deep in thought.

“The mages of this world have already set their sights on the Shadow Squad, and they’ve designated the Eastern Continent as a forbidden zone,” Lin Feng said. “We plan to first circle around to the rear of the Shadow Squad and infiltrate the mages’ ranks.”

The power of mages cannot be ignored, and the mage who took away the holy blood exudes a fearsome aura.

Tang Hong asked curiously, "Have you already come into contact with magicians?"

"Yes, this is demon blood. It can calm down rampaging obsessions." Lin Feng handed over a bottle of holy blood. After examining it carefully for a few moments, Tang Hong immediately understood the reason behind it.

"Using an even stronger obsession to quell another obsession will only hasten his death."

At this moment, Lin Feng summoned the car parked in the Yin House Ghost Domain. As soon as the car door opened, Si Zang was the first to walk in: "Let's go, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Tang Hong's eyes widened as he stared at the strange car, a chill running down his spine.

Since Hong Linggui absorbed the power of darkness, everything associated with him has undergone a corresponding transformation.

"I never thought you could play like this. Have you ever tried making soul missiles or flying machines?" Tang Hong sat down and immediately felt the comfort brought by the soul power.

Lin Feng explained, "Yes, the actual power is directly proportional to the soul power."
