Chapter 480 Taking stock of gains
Thanks to Gouki and Tsuchimikado Ichiro, Cheng Feng's most hated task of clearing out the mobs became much easier.
The external barrier trapped them like turtles in a jar, and Cheng Feng's undisguised oppressive force along the way forced them to fight to the death.
Nearly a thousand vengeful spirits were used as nourishment for the formation, with Tsuchimikado Ichiro, a living person, as a sacrifice, to cultivate a powerful evil creature, yet it died so hastily.
"Sigh, the ancient gods are the ancient gods. Even an inconspicuous snake would be such a terrifying thing if it were in the human world!"
Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh.
The war between the Celestials and the Primordials was only won because the Ancient Gods didn't intervene; otherwise, neither the Primordials nor the Celestials would have been able to put up any resistance.
"Stop lamenting here, hurry up and find out what spoils we've got. We have to bring something back this time, that's my life motto."
Cheng Feng casually used his divine power to seal Hao Ji's remaining essence, then put it in his pocket and said to Xiao Ya.
"A thief never leaves empty-handed, right? I get it!"
"You don't know anything! Get to work!"
He casually gave Xiaoya a loving slap, which earned him a coquettish scolding in return.
Xiaoya had no choice but to start searching through the small, less than 100-square-meter secret room.
Cheng Feng then beckoned to Jingjian Ahan, who had eaten and drunk his fill, and the more than twenty-meter-long snake crawled to Cheng Feng's feet like a loyal dog.
It obediently lowered its head, letting Cheng Feng stroke its sharp scales.
"Go back and stay put. We'll let you out to play again when we have the chance!"
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, Jingjian Ahan turned around and crawled towards the spatial distortion. Soon, he completely disappeared from the secret room and returned to the small world.
At this moment, Xiaoya made a discovery. She leaned over a wall and tapped on the left and the right side.
"It seems to be hollow inside!"
Cheng Feng couldn't help but smile as he looked at the small dent that Xiao Ya had made in the concrete wall.
Hao Ji really went to great lengths; even if an ordinary person ran themselves to death, they probably wouldn't be able to hear the hollow inside the wall.
But Xiaoya is different. Even a light tap from her is comparable to an ordinary person hitting a wall with a hammer. She can tell whether the space behind her is solid just by listening.
When Xiaoya arrived at the wall where she was, she punched it.
thud
A huge, muffled thud resounded, and from the echo, it was clear that the wall was very thick, but there was definitely another space inside.
"Could you open it?"
Cheng Feng looked at Xiao Ya.
Shaking her head in displeasure, Xiaoya pouted and said, "There's another layer of thickened steel plate in the middle, so I might need to rest for a while."
"If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What's a little delay?"
As Cheng Feng expected, Xiao Ya blushed instantly upon hearing this, and she retorted angrily:
"Get out of the way."
Pushing Cheng Feng aside, Xiao Ya straightened her chest and then slammed her fist into the solid wall.
With a loud crash, the wall shattered, and large chunks of concrete clattered to the ground, revealing the steel core beneath.
Xiaoya's breathing became rapid, and the divine power in her hands was like a burning blue flame.
"Open it for me!"
Xiaoya let out a sharp shout, and the divine power in her fist collided with the steel.
Without a sound, she smashed a large hole in the nearly 20-centimeter-thick copper and iron wall.
After delivering that blow, Xiaoya's steps faltered, and she almost tripped over herself.
In the end, it was Cheng Feng's embrace that helped her regain her balance.
"Are you okay?"
Cheng Feng didn't mock him this time. He knew he couldn't let the string get too tight, or it would break.
Xiaoya, her body trembling, only managed to keep her mouth shut: "It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong with me? Let's hurry inside and see what's going on!"
Xiaoya straightened up from Cheng Feng's arms, her wrists and legs trembling slightly.
Cheng Feng didn't expose her, smiled and nodded, then stepped over the gap Xiao Ya had made and entered the secret room.
After Cheng Feng left, Xiao Ya's back visibly hunched over a bit, and then she slowly walked to the frozen chair and sat down.
At this point, she didn't care about the cold sensation under her buttocks anymore; after all, she wasn't like ordinary girls who would easily get a stomachache from contact with something cold.
Inside the secret room, Cheng Feng discovered a filing cabinet and an antique wooden box.
To Cheng Feng's disappointment, there was no treasure here.
First, he opened the filing cabinet, casually took out a folder, and frowned after glancing at it a few times.
These documents contain experimental data from Tsuchimikado Ichiro and the demon's soul over the years.
Although he couldn't understand the specific parameters, Cheng Feng roughly understood that this was an experiment to study how to splice together body parts from different people.
It's hard to imagine how many mental hospital patients they used to obtain such mature experimental data.
Cheng Feng coldly tossed the documents back into the cabinet.
Then he went to the box, opened it, and inside was a white skeleton.
Cheng Feng raised his right hand and used the Plum Blossom Divination method to calculate for a moment:
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi's remains? No wonder they're kept in such a safe place."
As Toyotomi Hideyoshi's adopted daughter, Princess Gohime inherited the old devil's dying wish: to conquer China.
But she felt that if her adoptive father, with his great mission, couldn't achieve his long-cherished wish, then it was even less likely that she, as his adopted daughter, could.
Therefore, they were obsessed with the idea that as long as Toyotomi Hideyoshi was resurrected, he would have enough time to complete his wish to conquer China.
This obsession allowed her to endure any torment, and her soul thus became immortal.
"Unexpectedly, with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's remains, the third elimination mission doesn't seem to need to be delayed for too long."
Thinking of this, Cheng Feng raised his right foot and stomped lightly, causing the wooden box in front of him to be shaken up from the ground by spiritual power.
With his hand supporting the bottom of the box, Cheng Feng turned and walked out of the secret room.
After he stepped through the gap, a yellow talisman ignited in the secret room, and the flames quickly engulfed the documents filled with the blood and tears of the Chinese people.
It's best for these things to return to dust, and Cheng Feng doesn't want to create a big scandal that would disrupt his life.
"What a huge box! What treasures are inside?"
Xiaoya, who was resting on the ice, saw Cheng Feng come out with a box and asked him questions with great curiosity.
"We came back empty-handed this time; there was only a skeleton inside."
"Then why did you take it out in the first place? Just throw it inside and burn it!"
Xiaoya pointed to the flames inside the gap and said.
"This bone is still somewhat useful, let's take it back first."
Seeing this, Xiaoya didn't ask any more questions, since she would find out sooner or later anyway.
A few minutes later, Cheng Feng and Xiao Ya arrived at the outside of the mental hospital wall with the box; this was where the barrier was located.
"If there are no problems, I'll dispel the barrier. This thing is too obvious to some people."
It's estimated that it has already attracted a lot of attention.
Xiaoya arrived in front of the barrier and turned to Cheng Feng, saying...
Now that the haunted area of the mental hospital has been cleared away, there's no point in leaving the barrier any longer, so Cheng Feng readily agreed.
Xiaoya then placed her hand against the barrier, as a faint divine power flowed into it.
The barrier, which even Hao Ji found difficult to break through, shattered instantly, and the starry sky above them was once again reflected in their eyes.
At the very moment the barrier shattered, the ghostly realm that had existed in the Green Mountain Mental Hospital for many years also began to dissipate as the vengeful spirits within disappeared.
As the light shone down, the ghostly realm finally melted into the vastness of the main world.
"It's over, let's go home."
Xiaoya looked at the starry sky, stretched lazily, and showed Cheng Feng her perfect figure.
Cheng Feng agreed, then carried the wooden box toward his Land Rover.
The two quickly arrived at the car, first stuffing the wooden box into the trunk. Just as they were about to get in and leave, Cheng Feng glanced into the darkness.
"Master, why aren't you leaving yet? Don't disturb your goddess's beauty sleep!"
"I've noticed you're getting more and more arrogant. Just wait until we get back, and I'll teach you a lesson!"
After saying this, Cheng Feng looked away, got into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
After the car completely disappeared at the end of the road, a handsome man dressed in black emerged from the darkness, wielding two swords.
He frowned as he glanced at the dissipating ghost realm, then lowered his head in silence for a long time before reaching into his pocket to take out a transparent iPhone 7.
After finding a profile picture, I dialed the number.
A cynical voice came from the other end:
"Hey, what's wrong, Murong?"
“Zhao Li, I have encountered the mysterious person you mentioned, and the Heavenly Maiden of Kunlun is also there.”
After hearing this, Zhao Li's voice became much more serious, and he asked in a deep voice:
"There was no conflict, was there?"
Murong: "No, they eliminated a demon realm within my territory."
"It's good that there's no conflict. If you see that person again, run as far away as possible and never provoke him."
Zhao Li's very serious warning was taken to heart by Murong, who was no fool.
"Don't worry, I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."
Soon, the two ended their call, and Murong turned and walked into the darkness.
On the way home, Xiaoya, sitting in the passenger seat, fiddled with her phone, which was full of advertisements for various bags and cosmetics.
"There were three groups of people hiding in the shadows just now. I thought you were going to teach them a lesson."
Xiaoya slumped down, letting herself slump in the chair.
“A little Taotie, a soul ferryman, and a little Taoist priest—they have nothing to do with us. I think it's a waste of time to beat them up.”
Cheng Feng responded casually.
"The Taotie has also arrived. It must have been attracted by the aura of souls. It eats human souls and has always been at odds with the underworld."
The only one that Xiaoya was particularly interested in was Taotie, one of the nine sons of the dragon.
"That guy is a foodie just like you, so you two should have a lot in common."
Cheng Feng stepped on the brakes and stopped at the traffic light, then looked at Xiao Ya and teased her.
Xiaoya, amidst her busy schedule, looked up and rolled her eyes.
Cheng Feng smiled, rolled down the car window, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke it contentedly.
At that moment, the window of the Mercedes next door rolled down, and a female ghost with blood flowing from all seven orifices was sitting in the passenger seat.
The driver was a middle-aged man with a buzz cut who looked somewhat honest and simple.
"Hey buddy, can I have a cigarette? Seeing you smoke is making me crave one too!"
The man spoke with a slight Northeastern accent, and his voice trailed off at the end.
Cheng Feng didn't respond, but silently took out three cigarettes from the pack and threw them through the window of the car opposite.
"Oh, thank you, thank you! You don't need so many, one is enough for me..."
The man politely picked up the cigarette from the seat and thanked him repeatedly.
Just then, the light turned green, and Cheng Feng stepped on the gas and drove towards the other side.
The Mercedes driver was delayed for a moment because he was lighting a cigarette, which caused the cars behind him to honk their horns incessantly.
He cursed a few times before starting the car, just as the Mercedes was about to pass the traffic intersection.
A dump truck drove up to him through a red light. He slammed on the brakes in a panic, but it was too late.
After the loud bang, the dump truck was unharmed, while the driver's side of the Mercedes was embedded in the body, and blood was flowing down the crack.
Cheng Feng glanced at it through the rearview mirror, then ignored it.
"That female ghost must have been very beautiful when she was alive, how could that man have the heart to kill her!"
Xiaoya naturally noticed the female ghost inside the Mercedes-Benz, and seeing that the ghost had successfully taken her life, she couldn't help but sigh.
"For women from ordinary families, being too beautiful is not necessarily a good thing."
Xiaoya sighed again and then fell silent.
It was almost 11 p.m. when the two got home. Cheng Feng threw the suitcase in the garage and then went back to the villa with Xiao Ya.
Hao Ji's soul group member Cheng Feng found a cosmetics box from Xiao Ya and placed it on the dressing table.
"Come on, let's take a bath together. I'll scrub your back!"
"Are you trying to scrub my back? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!"
Xiaoya grabbed her change of clothes and followed Cheng Feng into the bathroom, feigning reluctance.
Soon after, the sound of water could be heard from inside, and Cheng Feng's voice was filled with anger:
"Quickly, split yourself in two! I need to fight ten of them!"
"I've put up with you, Cheng, for far too long. Today, I'm going to give you a hundred. If a hundred isn't enough, I'll give you a thousand."
Tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow and the day after that, you won't be getting out of bed!
As soon as the words were spoken, the bathroom became noisy, and the voices of many women could be faintly heard, some cute, some mature and sophisticated...
The next morning at nine o'clock, Cheng Feng came down the stairs from the second floor of the villa, rubbing his lower back.
Cheng Feng poured himself a glass of strong liquor at the bar counter and took out his phone to reply to Emerald's messages while drinking.
"I'll pick you up in a bit, just wait at home."
They had arranged to meet the day before yesterday to take care of the matter of placing the coffin in the empty room today; otherwise, Cheng Feng wouldn't have gotten up so early this morning.
Jade quickly replied with an "OK".
Putting down his phone, Cheng Feng took a sip of strong liquor and said:
"System, collect the reward."
'Ding~'
"Complete Collection of Leftist Paths" and "Binding Spirits and Sending Generals" have been distributed.
Please check your inbox, host.
At the same time, countless pieces of information appeared in Cheng Feng's soul. His main body and avatar were originally one, and his vast primordial spirit could easily contain all this information.
It wasn't long before Cheng Feng came to his senses.
"A good harvest, it will be much more convenient to travel around in the future."
As the saying goes, unorthodox paths and unorthodox methods may not be as upright as the orthodox path, but they are all-encompassing and have their own reasons for existing.
The complete collection of unorthodox teachings that Cheng Feng received is divided into four major categories.
The first category is evil arts, such as curses, witchcraft, blood sacrifices, etc., which are all means of obtaining power by killing or harming people.
The second category is unorthodox and secret methods. These are the fundamental methods of cultivation, but they all involve shortcuts, such as using vengeful spirits, resentful energy, and malevolent energy for cultivation.
These cultivation methods have both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they allow for rapid improvement and can enable one to achieve rapid advancement through shortcuts.
The downsides are also obvious: they are prone to car accidents, and going into a state of mental illness is commonplace. If things go wrong, they might end up like Li Huowang, having to go to a mental hospital for further studies.
The third category is forbidden magic, such as altering fate, manipulating souls, creating zombies, raising ghost children, and marrying ghost wives.
I'm challenging merit to a duel, and my main argument is that if Heaven doesn't actively use lightning to strike me, I'll let myself go.
The third category is heterogeneous cultivation, non-human cultivation methods, such as cultivating oneself into a zombie, and then using that zombie body to cultivate into a golden-haired beast.
Or they could commit suicide using secret methods, turning their soul into a vengeful ghost, and thus achieve the status of a ghost immortal through their soul's body.
Cheng Feng looked down on many of these methods, but there were also many interesting ones, such as lock-picking techniques, wall-penetrating techniques, the method of undressing a young woman, and the love potion...
"This is truly eye-opening! The unorthodox path is much more interesting than the orthodox path!"
After roughly going through the unorthodox secret methods in his mind, Cheng Feng felt that his little soul had been greatly cleansed.
He quickly took a sip of wine to calm his nerves before starting to browse the other reward: Spirit Capture and Command.
