Of course, for Song Cheng, the redness was not limited to just Ghost Servants but extended to... all entities controlled by "Yin Qi."
"A Master of Mountains and Rivers harbors strong animosity towards me, and within his territory, there are even demon beasts like Ghost Servants. What is going on?"
Song Cheng removed the clinging mud and leaves and floated closer, opening up his senses to perceive as much as possible.
Finally, he saw it.
It was a strong wild boar demon beast, but the skin that should have been tight with muscles was wrinkled and its tusks, normally better than steel blades, were rotting and turning black. As for its four hooves, they were mottled with flesh and blood and the grotesque white bones were fully exposed, bearing the meaning of "skeleton."
Song Cheng did not continue.
Today, he had come to meet the deity of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits to clear things up.
However, the sudden appearance of another Master of Mountains and Rivers and the situation on the deity’s territory made him cautious.
As he pondered, he expanded his senses and sensed several young people miles away, touring the landscape.
His expression shifted, and he sped towards them.
He saw a group of boys and girls dressed in fine silk and white garments.
"Pagodas full of meat and wine smell while bones freeze on ancient paths. How lamentable and sad..." a mature-looking young man holding a folding fan sighed as he looked at the mountains and waters.
A cute young girl next to him said slightly annoyed, "Didn’t we agree that today’s outing wouldn’t involve such topics?"
Another boy said, "Exactly, Brother Ziyi, even though wars ravage the land and disasters occur frequently, we are fortunate to be born into wealthy families and remain unaffected.
The saying goes, ’drink today with today’s wine, worry tomorrow with tomorrow’s troubles’; how long can you live and how much can you worry about? Just live today well, that’s enough."
The boy named Ziyi sighed and said, "Are these events truly unrelated to us? The Pan Family lives in the Imperial Capital, so why did they suddenly suffer a massacre? Was that really the work of humans?"
The boy called Ziyi’s voice grew more trembling, and even his hands shook, then he concluded, "It’s retribution, all retribution! Too many people have died in this era, and those wronged souls will drag us all down to Hell!"
The cute girl laughed scornfully and then silently glanced at the muscular young man carrying a sword and said, "Brother Yan, please persuade Ziyi to stop overthinking."
The sword-bearing young man patted Ziyi’s shoulder and said, "It’s not the ghosts."
Seeing him still hesitant, the young man added, "You haven’t cultivated and don’t know the intricacies.
Wherever evil spirits wreak havoc, it’s usually where human vitality is sparse, whether on the frontiers, in remote villages, or in wretched mountains and rivers...
But in the Imperial Capital, where vitality flourishes, the tragic death of the Pan Family was surely man-made, just masked as the work of evil spirits."
Song Cheng, who had been listening, now found it interesting. His Divine Soul stirred, directly infiltrating the body of the young man known as "Ziyi."
All the information poured into his mind.
The tragic slaughter of the Pan Family emerged in his mind.
On the cold ground, stretchers were laid out, covered by light sheets which revealed some raised contours; the rotting smell of the corpses beginning to decay wafted in the air, sending chills down the spine and provoking nausea.
And because Ziyi had some connections with the Pan Family, he had rushed to the scene at the first opportunity, and saw the deceased’s appearances as the Imperial Capital Government Officials lifted the sheets.
The victims... their pupils were wide open, mouths agape to the point where both sides of the lips had torn, blood was dripping, and their jaws dislocated.
Though this manner of death was horrifying, it was nothing new for Song Cheng.
But such sinister killings in the Imperial Capital were unheard of, even to Song Cheng.
He scanned the surroundings and noticed some red data under the weeds in a cave... however, even as these young men and women passed by, the data remained immovable.
After pondering a bit, he got an idea and immediately stopped in his tracks, saying, "Brother Yan, Yi, Brother Han, I suddenly feel there’s some filth here, it’s not wise to stay long... Let’s not wander today and return early."
The girl named Yi couldn’t hold back and covered her lips, laughing, and said, "Ziyi, you’re being overly nervous, imagining snakes in your cup. Mount Funiu has been a sacred site for Spirit Prayer Masters previously, such a divine place has never had any incidents."
Song Cheng said no more, his only intention with his words was to make the group aware of "this place beforehand."
With that said, his Divine Soul left Ziyi’s body and with a casual wave of his hand,
a sudden gust of wind arose, sweeping the four youths ten miles away, then he folded his hands behind his back, looked around and murmured, "If you insist on hiding, then I’ll make sure you can’t."
He knew there were two beings here.
One weak entity, likely She Yitu, belonged here... those skeleton demon beasts might as well be called Ghost Beasts, and they likely had something to do with him.
But he didn’t know what kind of person the other Master of Mountains and Rivers was.
Therefore, he needed to stir things up.
Boom!!
A Ghost Beast was yanked invisibly from its hiding spot and tossed towards the position of the two Masters of Mountains and Rivers.
Song Cheng’s form flicked into motion.
Boom!
The skeletal wild boar demon beast he had seen earlier was also thrown out. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The series of Ghost Beasts was flung out one after the other.
After doing all this, Song Cheng concealed himself and watched secretly.
...
...
In the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits, in the heart of the devastated Earthfire, She Yitu felt the expulsion of the Ghost Beasts and despite being an old demon, his expression subtly changed in his pupils.
He felt it, and the woman waiting in the grotto felt it too.
