Chapter 578: Return to Life in Seven Days
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Sir, what are you talking about? I still rely on you. This time, I set up a trap with the Shanyin ghosts, and it was all thanks to your help. Otherwise, how could we set such a big trap and entangle the Shanyin ghosts and the Five Gods?"
Mister Yuan Ming shook his head slightly and said, "Guarding the Shanyin ghosts is the duty of my Xuanyuan Cave. My master, the Immortal Jade Staff, did so, as did my great-grandmaster, the Taoist Master Luo Luo. It's still the same in my generation. I should be grateful to you, otherwise, to completely resolve the Shanyin ghost crisis, I'm afraid we'd have to wait a hundred years until they reappeared."
Gong Mengbi took advantage of the situation and did not consider himself an outsider at all. He said, "Since that's the case, if I'm in trouble in the future, don't forget to come and save me, sir."
Mr. Yuan Ming smiled and said, "You've become much more shameless than the last time we met." But far from being angry, he was delighted. He said, "When you need me, just come find me. I'm also a useless person. I can neither support the great cause nor save the people. With this little bit of Taoism, I can barely do anything."
Gong Mengbi bowed to him and said, "Sir, I can't stay long. I have to go first."
Strong winds and heavy snow were lingering in the mountain, and the evil spirits who had managed to escape hid themselves and got away.
Mr. Yuan Ming didn't care about their life or death, it seemed that his target had always been the Shanyin ghosts.
After the Deer-Horned God and the Green-Faced God disappeared into the wind and snow, Mr. Yuan Ming disappeared into the mountain with the chessboard.
Those arrogant gods didn't even know what was happening. They only knew that a powerful enemy was attacking them, and then they suffered countless casualties.
Tang Jie was lucky. He managed to hold on in the snow dragon and held on to the end with a few of his subordinates. After King Tongze blew up his ghost body and broke the formation, he survived and finally escaped to Wuning County. He gathered the remnants of his army, hundreds of people, and fled back to Shangfang Mountain.
This is a story for later.
At this moment, King Tongze, having escaped from the chessboard formation, flew away, flying an unknown distance before suddenly plummeting like a meteor, crashing from the sky into a field. If he hadn't managed to muster a bit of strength to support himself, he would have become one of the rare fourth-grade masters who fell to their death.
The heavy snow fluttered and soon buried King Tongze.
But soon, a few young men dug through the snow and saw King Tongze, then exclaimed, "It's a person!"
They pulled King Tongze out of the snow, carried him on their backs, supported him all the way, and returned to a nearby village in the wind and snow.
When King Tongze woke up, he was already in a leaky room, and there was no one in the room.
King Tongze coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Come out now."
A faint smoke condensed around King Tongze and transformed into the appearance of the Immortal Jinting.
The expression of the Great Immortal Jin Ting was not pleasant, it was a mixture of displeasure and resentment.
King Tongze heard him cursing himself in his heart... At this time, the Immortal Jinting was actually unable to resist his telepathy.
King Tongze said, "If I hadn't taken away the divine power of the Five-Pass Array, and if you hadn't been defeated by the lion, I'm afraid you wouldn't have survived."
Then King Tongze heard the Immortal Jinting say in his heart: "Get out."
King Tongze didn't want to be scolded, but he couldn't control himself.
Jin Ting Daxian looked at him for a while, then discovered something. He sneered and said, "The three kings have fallen into this state. I think they have defeated the lion and subdued the evil god, which has greatly improved their skills and Taoism."
King Tongze's expression suddenly became even uglier.
The Immortal Jin Ting felt relieved, but the King Tongze's face became even uglier.
After a moment of silence, King Tongze asked, "How much mana do you have left?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said in a deep voice, "What kind of magical power is this? My soul was dragged into the Netherworld by the Deer Horn God. I had no choice but to use the Moon Beacon to descend into the Netherworld first. I was already preparing to transform into a ghost immortal. I was lucky enough to survive, and now I haven't come back to life. I have only awakened my spirit through my body. How can I have any magical power?"
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at King Tongze and asked, "Where are the three great kings?"
The three kings then revealed everything that had happened after the Immortal Jin Ting faked his death, saying, "Fourth brother miscalculated and misjudged his fate, failing to see those evil spirits and demons, as well as our great enemy. Fifth brother must have escaped by now, but I was trapped in the formation and only escaped after sacrificing my demonic body. Now I have no magical power left and am doomed to die."
Jin Ting Daxian was silent for a moment, then said, "I woke up in three days, and it will take another seven days to return to life. If you want to die, wait until seven days. Otherwise, the formation plate will fall into the hands of others, trapping me inside, and I don't know when I can escape."
King Tongze said in a trance: "It will take three days to wake up. I have been unconscious for three days."
Jin Ting Daxian suddenly looked outside the door and said, "Someone is coming."
He dissipated like smoke, but King Tongze knew he hadn't left. His divine consciousness was attached to the formation plate and could only stay near it.
Several pale faces were stretched in from outside the door. The blue color was caused by the cold weather. Their lips were cracked from the cold, revealing bloody wounds that could not be healed despite repeated licking.
"woke up!"
These people rushed in and threw themselves before King Tongze's bed, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "God! You are a god who has fallen from the sky! Please have mercy on us and save us."
They kowtowed and raised their eyes to look at King Tongze. Their eyes flashed with a hungry desire, a burning appetite, as if they were not looking at a god, but at food.
King Tongze's heart sank. He had read the wishes of these people from their hearts: they needed food.
King Tongze had no way to fulfill their wish and was thinking about how to start the conversation. So while waiting, the light in these people's eyes gradually dimmed, and a sense of evil vaguely emerged.
King Tongze had no choice but to speak, "What do you want to eat?"
The men's eyes lit up again. One of them held out his hand, which was swollen like a steamed bun. The redness and swelling were covered with erosions, and even blood scabs could not cover them. He said, "We are hungry. We saw you fall from the sky. You must be a god who knows magic. Please give us some food."
King Tongze said, "I'm injured and can't use magic, so I can't conjure up food."
"You're a god! How could you not have a solution?" A young man with bulging eyes stood up suddenly, his eyeballs looking like they were about to pop out of their sockets. "You have a solution, right?"
King Tongze sensed the danger and read the danger.
He was both shocked and angry. He felt incredible and angry at the audacity and blasphemy of this mortal, and he was also terrified of the situation before him.
He had no choice but to speak out to stop her, saying, "I have no other options now, but it will only take seven days. I will recover in seven days and be able to conjure up food for you."
"Seven days!"
They became anxious, their hearts were whispering, full of torment and restlessness.
"The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the food is gone."
"I don't want to starve to death."
"Wait seven days and you'll be saved."
"How can we wait seven days?"
Since he mastered telepathy, this was the first time he felt the powerlessness of his supernatural powers.
