Chapter 167: 111, 112. Ting’s birth, the second Ghost Tide (Major Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_3

That deep pit, one after another, strange-looking ghost servants crawled out.

These ghost servants had vacant eyes, devoid of reason, yet they still possessed flesh and skin.

After their birth, they wandered aimlessly in the cold night, and those born near the county or prefectural city were directly drawn by the massive Yang Qi and headed straight towards the city.

It seemed as if their mission was to annihilate all life, to carve a deep hole in the walls of this Yang Qi city.

At the same time, Song Cheng felt Sister An suddenly cry out in pain softly in his arms, murmuring, "It’s coming, it’s coming..."

Song Cheng was first stunned, then immediately nervous and ecstatic. He hurriedly ran out...

Not long after, Madam Tong led a group of midwives rushing in.

Song Cheng waited outside nervously.

...

...

Hanping Prefecture.

The north of the city...

On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city shrank back into the watchtower, huddling around a fire basin for warmth.

Some were wrapped in heavy cotton clothes, holding torches, pacing back and forth on the city wall...

Outside the city, there were also fire basins placed to "clear the line of sight," otherwise... nothing could be seen even a hundred paces away.

At that moment, a city guard suddenly widened his eyes, looking in astonishment at a certain spot.

He was not looking at the ground but at the sky...

Something was flying over in the black, snow-falling sky.

"Is it a bird?" the soldier asked his companion beside him.

The companion replied, "In this cold weather, how could there be birds?"

But then, the companion warily said, "It might be demon beasts!"

"Be on guard!" the soldier shouted cautiously.

They had been instructed long ago to shout immediately if anything unusual happened.

As soon as the shout fell, a figure dashed to the city wall like a lightning strike. It was, unmistakably, a newly appointed External Affairs Envoy from the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

Due to the "Three Families Become One" event, the resources of the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple were no longer sparing and were used to cultivate more experts...

Many martial artists from the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall who were stuck in the Force Realm had broken through one after another.

This newly appointed External Affairs Envoy was one of them.

When the External Affairs Envoy got onto the city wall, he didn’t need the soldiers to say anything before he looked up into the distance.

In the dark wind and snow, something was flying over.

The External Affairs Envoy drew his knife...

When he got closer and took a look, he was utterly horrified, feeling a chill all over his body.

What kind of ghostly thing was this?

A human head, a bird’s body, two arms, sharp claws...

The human head and arms looked like a soldier’s head, after all, it was wearing a helmet on its head...

The bird’s body and claws belonged to a demon beast, for no ordinary bird could be so large.

That thing descended from the sky, tilting its head, its two eyeballs rolling around irregularly like white beads inside a glass ball, looking at the External Affairs Envoy, then suddenly moved and lunged directly.

The External Affairs Envoy gathered his Force Power, raised his knife to block.

Clang!

The knife clashed with the wings, producing a sound like clashing metals.

Zi~~~

The External Affairs Envoy was pushed back nearly a meter, his palm numb, and when he checked, he found it had almost split open.

But at the same time, he recognized what the coming thing was.

That kind of rotten and eerie aura, there could be no second possibility.

"Ghost Servant! Fire arrows!"

The External Affairs Envoy shouted urgently.

He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that ghost servants were easily exterminated two years ago, causing almost no pressure on the prefectural city, except for some ghost servants carrying a corrosive poison which were more terrifying, the rest were not.

At that time, Force Realm Warriors could slay and slaughter them with ease!

Yet now, he had entered the Form Realm!

On the other side, the human-headed bird’s eyeballs turned creepily, "cooing" as it lunged again...

After a complicated skirmish, the city gate soldiers paid the price of over a dozen injuries before finally extinguishing the human-headed bird.

Flames burned on the human-headed bird, its outer skin instantly got scorched...

Inside the charred skin, it was empty, hollow with nothing inside.

This human-headed bird turned out to be a stitched combination of human skin and bird hide!

The stitching of the skin caused two inherently incompatible lives to merge into one, and it became... even stronger!

The External Affairs Envoy watched this scene with a grave expression, gripping his hand tighter.

His palm had already split entirely, the fresh blood dyeing the handle red.

Looking further into the distance, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw a lot of strange things crawling in the dark.

The External Affairs Envoy’s Adam’s apple moved, then he took a deep breath and shouted, "Ghost Tide!!!"

...

...

"It’s born!"

"Mother and child are safe, it’s a baby girl!"

"It’s born!"

Joyful voices spread from the depths of the An Residence.

Song Cheng heard the words "Mother and child are safe," and was nearly moved to tears with joy, his body swirling with Force Power, warming up his clothes quickly before stepping into the entry level.

He immediately saw a dirty little baby girl.

In an instant, it felt like many years had passed.

He carefully approached.

The midwife hastily and cautiously handed the baby girl to this high-ranking official in Hanping Prefecture.

Song Cheng held the baby, grinning broadly, then sat down and said, "Sister An, look, this is our child."

An Chenyu leaned weakly against the bed, saying, "Song Ting, Ting..."

Song Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, Ting."

That name always reminded him of the An family’s courtyard, making him think of the warm scenes, as if just mentioning it calmed his heart.

He then handed Ting over to Madam Tong.

A moment later, the clean little girl was brought back, swaddled, and placed in An Chenyu’s arms.

The others withdrew, leaving only Song Cheng, Madam Tong, Ying, and Ling...

Miss An undid her clothes, bringing the small red nipple close to the baby girl’s lips.

The baby girl’s lips had been motionless, but seemed to be pushed by some instinct, slowly opening, then gently beginning to suckle.
