The energy light that permeated Lin Feng's body entered his body, and his previous madness had just subsided a little. However, after seeing the man's face, a large patch of fungus immediately burst open again.
"Damn it, what a waste of my scroll!" The man was speechless.
"Use it again!"
The woman suddenly spoke, her hands already gripping Lin Feng's forehead.
"Still need it? Wait, what did you find? You have to tell me, right?" The man squatted down, and although he looked disgusted, he still got closer to Lin Feng.
“He has a secret.” The woman pried open Lin Feng’s mouth. Although mycelium had grown inside, there was no chaos as expected: “An ordinary participant could not have lasted this long.”
"Ha, you think you can tell me just because you saved him?"
"No, but he will." The woman was certain Lin Feng would say that.
"Damn it, I hate gamblers like you the most. Why don't we just hand him over, take the money, and leave?" the man cursed, pulling out a new scroll from his pocket: "200 points of Holy Purification. Just this once, or I'll lose money."
Sparkling specks of light appeared in his hand, quickly entering Lin Feng's body and forming a halo.
As the light faded, Lin Fengshen's mycelium became unusually calm. His eerie eyes lost some of their divine light, and the strange threads on his body also calmed down somewhat. Divine purification is not just purification; it also involves cleansing the soul with divine power. A slight misstep can turn one into a slave to faith.
"Kid, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Lin Feng open his eyes, the man immediately asked.
“My ancestors said that immortals once lived in this mountain, so I came to take a look…” Lin Feng’s voice was calm and easygoing, without any hint of resistance.
The woman asked, "When did this happen?"
"About five hundred years ago..."
"Damn it, five hundred years! Even ghosts would be ground to dust by now!" the man cursed. "What a loss! 300 points gone... Kid, what exactly is this Evil Yuan Dao you were talking about?"
Lin Feng continued, seemingly oblivious, "Spend 1500 Nightmare Points to return to the mission world and complete the rescue mission."
"Damn it..."
The man looked fierce, and the woman, equally disgusted, tossed Lin Feng aside, took out her phone again, and dialed a number: "Gotcha."
After speaking, the woman took out a crystal-like object and forcefully slammed it into the ground. The crystal shattered upon contact with the ground, releasing streams of dazzling energy that broke through the soil and carved out a magic circle.
Magical energy flickered, and a door rose from it, revealing three figures.
Once the three figures became clearer, the three Bian brothers looked through the light of the magic circle at Lin Feng on the ground.
“Give it to him.”
The woman spoke up, and the man picked up Lin Feng with one hand, shook him twice, and threw him into the magic circle.
Lin Feng's body flew through the air and entered the area shrouded in magical light without any surprises. But just as he was about to fall into the hands of the three Bian brothers, his body passed through the magic circle and landed on the other side.
"Um?"
The three Bian brothers immediately looked at the woman, who frowned and said, "It wasn't us!"
All eyes turned to Lin Feng, who slowly sat up and said calmly, "Spatial lock to prevent accidental entry into ghost-like areas."
"Tsk tsk, this kid's got some cleverness." The man chuckled and spread his hands: "We've completed the task of capturing him. If you want to send him over, that'll be a different story."
The three brothers on the other side of the magic circle began to talk in hushed tones. Just as the light of the magic circle began to dim, they all saw Lin Feng's calm expression.
Anger ignited in that instant, and two disheveled demons, one red and one black, appeared beside the three of them. Following the twisting of the eerie threads, they stepped across the magic circle and stretched out their claws toward Lin Feng.
A thick aura of yin energy roared from Hong Linggui's body. Even though she was tied up, the chilling aura caused the two evil spirits to cast resentful glances at her.
They sensed a provocation, a usurpation by ordinary ghosts against evil spirits.
"Hey, this little thing's pretty fierce. This guy must have put a lot of effort into her..." The man chuckled lewdly, then quickly looked away when he saw the woman's displeased expression. "Ahem, shut up, shut up..."
The woman turned away with disgust, glanced at the transaction completion notification from the Nightmare Space, and happily bypassed the magic circle to prepare for her departure.
The man followed, swaying his shoulders and humming a cheerful tune.
"What, are you already leaving?"
A voice, seemingly coming from nowhere, entered the man's ears. The man chuckled and replied, "Well... what else...?"
"Let's play with you for a while, Daoist Master." Si Zang rolled up his sleeves and stepped out from the revealed stone steps, a smirk on his lips. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, pulling them into a mountain forest.
"An array, damn it..." The man exclaimed in surprise. Before his voice could fully dissipate, he had already vanished from the spot.
Si Zang pointed his finger again, and the three Bian brothers, who had just stepped out of the magic circle, were also stunned by the sudden change in scenery and fell into a gloomy valley.
Until the entire area suddenly became empty, leaving only two evil spirits.
Lin Feng stood up from the ground. Before he could take out a dagger from his ring, Si Cang casually hooked his hand, causing the surrounding space to rotate and bringing him to his side. Si Cang then took out a magic knife engraved with five-star talismans and easily cut the rope.
Thanks.
Lin Feng expressed his gratitude, and Si Zang's slightly cold face immediately lit up with a smile: "Hey, let's not be so polite, brothers."
After saying that, Si Zang brandished his magic knife and quickly sent the two of them to a mountain.
"This Five Star Fate Array is a formation set up in this mountain by my master, combining Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology). It incorporates astronomy, geography, feng shui, and the five elements. Mazes and spatial transformations are just the most basic functions. What's truly powerful is its ability to activate the power of the twelve palaces: Life Palace, Wealth Palace, Siblings Palace, Property Palace, Children Palace, Servants Palace, Spouse Palace, Illness Palace, Travel Palace, Career Palace, Fortune Palace, and Appearance Palace. It uses the stars to deduce the trajectory of one's life, and then uses the Four Transformation Stars to further predict one's life's fortune and destiny..."
"Finally, shatter the heart, destroy the spirit, and disperse the energy!"
As soon as Si Zang finished speaking, the men and women below could no longer bear it. The two of them stood there stunned and burst into tears: "Look at them, they dare to show off with such a state of mind. I, the Daoist, didn't even throw them into the servants' palace."
Turning around again, they looked at the three Bian brothers. Unlike the other two, these three were using evil magic to attack their surroundings.
"Tsk tsk, these three are quite fierce, killing one after another... Heh, come here, let me throw you into the Brothers Palace for a visit."
Lin Feng remained silent, watching Si Zang manipulate the power, a tremor running through his heart. It was one thing for certain powers to be physically repulsive, but to use them in such a dirty way...
"I'll go deal with those two ghosts."
“Okay.” Si Zang nodded and immediately opened a mountain path for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng quickly walked down the mountain, his earlier mood vanished, and looked at the two evil spirits lingering below.
"Blood Demon"
"Ghost"
Nightmare Space provides two simple hints.
"Can we catch them?" Lin Feng didn't act immediately, but found a spot to ask Hong Linggui.
Hong Linggui nodded at the vengeful ghost, then shook her head at the other one.
Lin Feng's gaze fell upon the Blood Demon. He remembered the information about the Soul-Devouring Blood Jade clearly: if a living person bit and swallowed it, it could manifest as a tantric evil spirit. This demon must have undergone some kind of change after devouring the Blood Jade, or perhaps gained the ability to manifest as an evil spirit.
It's unclear how the three Bian brothers subdued her, but now it's his turn to fight back. The most direct method is to forcefully suppress her and then let Hong Linggui deal with her.
"Perfect timing to test the changes of the day..."
