Chapter 155: 107, 108. The city is broken, the past is perfect, and the Su Family’s Mysterious Level Grade C calamity reappears (Big Chapter - Subscribe Request)

In this world, power is divided between Yin and Yang, two systems.

Yang is Body Refinement.

Yin involves Soul Cultivation.

However, Song Cheng always found Soul Cultivation rather vague.

Starting from Heart’s Eye, Night Wandering, Day Wandering, Object Driving, and Manifestation, he actually considered himself a Soul Trainer.

Yet, he knew very little about the realm of the soul...

Lady Zhushan was a Contemplator, her disciples were "Junior Contemplators", and the origin of their contemplation, "Fox Immortal Su", only knew that the Entry Level to the Mystic Realm was "Innate Ghostly Soul".

Innate characteristics seemed hard to acquire later in life.

Here, Yin and Yang seemed like two great rivers converging.

Of course, from his conversation with this man, he had learned the real name of Fox Immortal Su—Su Ningyu.

"Mystery Realm Entry" was undoubtedly akin to a revered deity to those in the Martial Arts World, capable of Possession, utilizing Illusionary Trick, allowing Visualization, and its body possessed certain medicinal properties described as "Supernatural", used to create Medicinal Humans.

What about the evil spirit?

An evil spirit seemed like a super upgraded version of "Mystery Realm Entry".

If a Mystic Realm Entry’s Divine Soul is hard to destroy, an evil spirit is Undying and Indestructible.

If a Mystic Realm Entry creates Medicinal Humans, an evil spirit creates Ghost Servants.

If a Mystic Realm Entry uses Illusion Technique, an evil spirit uses Reappear.

If a Mystic Realm Entry allows people to visualize and use its power, then what about an evil spirit? Would an evil spirit’s organs be considered a different type of enhanced Visualization? Like Song Cheng’s Ghost Eyes, and like the chest this man displayed right now...

The part of his chest over his heart had become scaled, sprouting grave soil and white wax.

The handsome man, in an attempt to persuade Song Cheng, deliberately pulled open his clothes and said, "This is the connection to the evil spirit! I accidentally acquired an ancient volume of Secret Notes of the Divine Soul, which records a further Dharma Method."

For now, all I can tell you is that establishing a connection with the evil spirit and then taking a Divine Soul of the same level is a prerequisite.

If you help me, once I succeed, these ancient Secret Notes of the Divine Soul will definitely be presented to you with both hands."

Song Cheng nodded, then chatted a while longer with the handsome man.

Among some minor details, he pieced together the original likely plan of the handsome man based on the information he knew.

This man and Su Ningyu were of the same clan, both members of the Su Family.

Decades ago, when the man’s time was almost up, he accidentally discovered the ancient Secret Notes of the Divine Soul and found a so-called "Longevity Dharma Method".

Seeking to extend his lifespan, the man decided to act.

At this time, Su Ningyu became an emissary of the Su Family, emerging from the Ice Coffin that slowed aging; the man quietly followed.

Why?

Perhaps because Su Ningyu was relatively young in the Su Family, with less experience.

This, Song Cheng could infer from the fact that "being intimate with her could actually improve her disposition."

What else could this be, if not a "Fresh from the Reed Thatch" Fox Immortal?

Therefore, this clan member facing his limit thought the younger clan member would be easier to deal with.

After leaving the Ice Coffin, Su Ningyu found Lady Zhushan and then tried to use her as a breakthrough to seal the evil spirit. The clan member, however, sabotaged the efforts, causing the power given by Su Ningyu to bring disaster to Lady Zhushan. During this, he was very likely to have possessed the relatives of Lady Zhushan, stirring up trouble and creating conflicts...

This led to the death of Lady Zhushan’s entire family and ultimately to her complete distrust in Su Ningyu. Later, she used some Secret Technique to seal him.

Needless to say, this Secret Technique was most likely taught by the clan member behind the scenes.

As for his wife inadvertently unsealing it, it was probably also a timing set by this clan member.

He couldn’t predict what would happen decades later, but he knew that forty years was the longest he could sustain, and that after forty years, chaos would inevitably ensue.

And if everything went according to this man’s plan, the best situation would be:

Su Ningyu seals the evil spirit, suffers severe injuries, and mostly remains asleep.

Lady Zhushan learns that Su Ningyu has broken the seal, mobilizes forces, and comes to confront him, wanting to seal him again.

And when Su Ningyu and Lady Zhushan face each other, even fighting, it would be this man’s chance to act.

As for Song Cheng himself...

He was presumably a part of this handsome man’s scheme, hastily made to support his main plan.

The general idea was very likely that if he could be killed, then kill him; if not, then slander him until he was disgraced; if that still didn’t work, it was very likely that he would kidnap his wife to force his hand.

The man had been laying plans for decades and had controlled the Five and a Half Hall of Northern Snow State, so by all accounts, this plan should be executable, and it would only be possible to see the truth at the very end.

And Song Cheng would be exhausted from dealing with back-to-back assassination attempts, needing to "cut open his belly to combat rumors, thereby proving his innocence," and if he wasn’t careful and his wife was indeed captured, he might go mad.

Unfortunately...

None of these things happened.

You say, who would have thought that just as the Five and a Half Hall was mobilizing, just as the plan was being put into action, and just as the pieces had been placed on the board, it would suddenly explode, overturning the table?

These days, "abiding by righteousness is mainstream" in the Martial Arts World.

Such actions like "without a trace, without a word, directly spreading rumors," are really few and far between...

Not that they couldn’t, they just didn’t.

Therefore, Zhao Hua hadn’t expected this, nor had Tie Zhenyi foreseen it, until he saw Song Cheng "winning people over with virtue," directly overpowering the third boss of the Five and a Half Hall, and then reading out the opponent’s "charges" in public, suddenly realizing: Oh... so it can be played this way, can’t it?
