As the group returned to their previous hotel, Tang Hong's body quickly recovered with the help of Si Zang. Yu, who had shed her previous gloomy aura, changed into a simple white dress and presented the Seven-Tiered Pagoda to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng reached out and took the seven-level pagoda, looking at the somewhat damaged ghost realm within it, and asked, "Will those gods who came out of the Ring War world only go back?"
Yu replied softly, "Yes, but they have already made contact with this place, and the deep sea is welcoming their arrival."
Lin Feng listened and put away the Seven-Level Pagoda. It was likely that neither of these two worlds would be peaceful from now on, but this deep sea was already connected to other worlds, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
At this moment, Tang Hong changed his clothes and calmly said, "The manifestation of the second will is not suitable for me."
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was immediately drawn.
Tang Hong continued, "From my personal perspective, my will has already taken shape. If it is altered, or if other opportunities are sought, my path will no longer be so...perfect."
After saying that, Tang Hong added, "It's an extreme kind of perfection, so I decided to continue to improve it."
“Wen Chen too.” Sun He spoke up at this moment, turned to look at Wen Chen, and continued to say to Tang Hong, “His swordsmanship strives to shatter the void, not just space, but he wants to shatter the void outside the world.”
Wen Chen, who had been mostly silent, spoke up at this moment: "Everything has its limits. If the void is endless, then it means that an infinitely vast world can exist at a single point in the void."
"Um..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lin Feng gave a resounding "hmm" in strong approval.
He used two-dimensional compressed demonic power to create the structure of a three-dimensional demonic hand, but this was only a structure, not the limit.
"So you guys..." Tang Hong turned to look at the others with curiosity, his main focus still on the jade.
"Alas, it seems I truly am the only one left." Si Zang sighed softly, "Although I am envious, my life is quite good too, a carefree and leisurely existence..."
As they were talking, Si Zang yawned; he was tired after being busy for so long.
But at that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he involuntarily stood up, suddenly manifesting his will under everyone's gaze.
"Manifestation of Will: Cloud Crane"
"Si Zang, this isn't for escaping, is it?" Si Tao asked without thinking after a moment of stunned silence.
Si Zang waved his sleeve, took out a gilded and jade-inlaid silk cloud-patterned cushion, placed it on the crane's back, and then sat down.
"I've done alright, at least I can manifest my will." Si Zang said casually, leaning his back against the crane's neck. "Escape is also a skill. Besides, I and Yun He come and go without a trace, just to steal half a day of leisure."
"Congratulations." Lin Feng said with a smile, not caring at all about the rivalry between Si Tao and Si Zang: "Everyone has their own ambitions. Even if it's about escaping, Sun Wukong's somersault can cover 108,000 li, which is a superior method."
"Hehe, right?" Si Zang chuckled. He knew Lin Feng wouldn't let him get away with this.
After nodding to Si Zang, Lin Feng tentatively asked Sun He and the other two, "We've achieved our goal this time. After we get out... shall we each complete our advancement tasks?"
"I can."
Si Tao was the first to answer; he was very dissatisfied.
"I can too," Wen Chen replied, as if reporting to Sun He.
Sun He took a deep breath before saying, "I need to prepare. I will answer you after this mission is over."
“Okay,” Lin Feng replied. “We don’t necessarily have to complete the advancement mission. We can still cooperate in future missions.”
"Um."
Sun He quickly responded that the difference in ratings in a short period of time was not a big problem, and his strength was evident; he wasn't that bad.
...
"I'm going out for a bit."
After leaving the room, Sun He found Lin Feng alone.
"Go out?" Lin Feng asked curiously, since they hadn't left the mission world yet.
Sun He made no attempt to hide anything: "Yes, I plan to go to China in this world. There are also gifts left by my master there, and I want to... find answers to my questions."
"Approximately how long?" Lin Feng calculated in his mind.
"I'll give you an answer in three or four days at the earliest, or at the latest... I'll give you an answer." Sun He was uncertain.
"Alone?" Lin Feng had a slight thought in his mind. Wen Chen would stay, but he might not necessarily be willing to help wholeheartedly.
As for Si Tao, although he has some conflicts with Si Zang, he is trustworthy.
"Yes, Wen Chen and Si Tao will be with you, so don't worry about them." Sun He smiled. "Isn't this also part of the cooperation?"
"Um."
Cooperation... Lin Feng understood: "When do we depart?"
"Right away." Sun He finished speaking and walked towards the building's exit. "I've already told them."
As Sun He's figure disappeared into the building, Lin Feng listened to the mechanical winding sound on the wall and thought of the two members of Yin Sitian.
Bohan Chen's previous words were enough to make him pay special attention to these two people, the fourth level of Yin Sitian.
Just as Lin Feng was pondering, in another deserted factory, Yin Sitian and his two companions dismantled a rusty iron cabinet and found a clock that was also bleeding.
However, inside the clock was not a beheading, but a woman who had been hanged. Blood was flowing from the woman's eyes, dripping from the clock and staining the entire iron cabinet red.
The mechanical ghost pressed the switch on the clock, and after turning it a few times, the hanged woman began to swing inside the clock. Only then did they realize that the woman's eyes were engraved on the clock face. As her body began to swing, those empty eyes were like the most vicious curse in the world, flashing and spying on everything they did every second.
Listening to the sound of the clockwork swinging, Wu Yuxian looked away from the clock face and turned to look at the mechanical ghost.
"Hmm." The mechanical ghost nodded, and several similar mechanical ghosts appeared behind it, cleaning up the debris in the factory.
After a large area was cleared out, the factory was decorated with mysterious patterns.
Without saying a word, the mechanical ghost placed the clock in the center of the formation and then walked towards the factory gate.
The Five Prison Immortals immediately flew out and watched from afar as the mechanical ghost emitted a spinning mechanical sound, then quietly waited.
Without Lin Feng and the others' obstruction, they quickly completed the ritual. The mechanical ghost then entered the factory again, picked up the clock, and swallowed it.
A faint ticking sound emanated from his body, and time around him seemed to enter a strange rhythm, jumping and stopping with the ticking sound.
“There are three more,” the mechanical ghost said.
"What about the piece they took?" Wu Yuxian asked, somewhat displeased.
The mechanical ghost said, "Once we get the other clocks, we'll go back to them."
"The two from the Shinto school are unwilling to help us." Wu Yuxian became even more displeased: "They call them the Chinese Demons, and they have already classified them as dangerous participants within their ranks. There is no need for second-tier personnel to be their enemies."
"This is their home turf," the mechanical ghost said. "With the help of the gods above, they have no fear of numbers."
They need enough incentive to entice the two men to have a chance to reclaim the clock.
