Chapter 213: 129, 130. This time, he took Yune away (big Chapter - subscribe)_4

’He had succeeded in transcending the tribulation, and even gained unexpected power.’

Song Cheng lifted the quilt and walked to the bronze mirror. In front of it, he opened his eyes.

’Great Dark Heaven...’

As his thoughts settled, the pupils in the mirror turned pitch black without any whites, and a strange aura suddenly emanated from him. It spread like mercury ink throughout the room but was kept from dispersing by his power.

Song Cheng put down the bronze mirror and looked into the distance, feeling that everything within the Reappear Calamity was so real.

"Chenyang Prefecture?"

He was familiar with this prefectural city, which, like Hanping Prefecture, belonged to the Northern Snow State.

"I shall visit it after some time," he said.

"For now..."

"Let’s add some points."

...

...

In an unknown place, within a village consumed by flames, the figure of a woman in green suddenly swelled up. Her originally upright and walking silhouette abruptly collapsed, transforming into a bizarre crawl.

A broken red flower was inserted among her tangled hair, and her limbs were twisted at odd angles...

She crawled toward a deep pit amid the sea of fire.

The pit seemed to be resisting her.

But the balance appeared to be broken as the ghostly woman in green gradually approached the pit, step by step. She looked down at a charred corpse in the pit and then slowly climbed down into it.

Her progress was incredibly slow, but she kept moving forward.

And perhaps, in months or even years, she would finally manage to crawl into the pit and merge with the charred corpse.

...

...

Early winter.

A dark shadow left Hanping Prefecture.

This was the first time Song Cheng had left in a long time.

With the Ghost Tide yet to arrive and Yu guarding the city, he felt at ease.

He was off to Chenyang Prefecture.

His body was now so robust that he did not fear exhaustion and naturally had no need to ride a horse.

Several days later...

Outside a city.

Song Cheng did not go through the main gate. Instead, with a shimmer, he entered through the city wall, and the guards at the gate only felt a breeze pass by without noticing anything else.

Once inside the city, Song Cheng inquired about the location of Yune’s home.

As it turned out, every issue can be significantly alleviated when money paves the way.

Before long, someone approached Song Cheng.

It was a loafer, who sidled up and said, "I know where Yune’s home is, I can take you there."

Song Cheng tossed him a small silver ingot.

The loafer looked at it greedily, thinking about asking for more, but suddenly he realized he could not entertain such thoughts at all. The man in the mysterious cloak emitted a terrifying aura, and though his face was obscured by his hood, it instilled a feeling that any disobedience would lead to death.

This was an aura that Song Cheng intentionally released.

The loafer didn’t dare overstep, and hurriedly led him to a dilapidated and desolate mansion, pointing inside and saying, "M’lord, it’s this place."

"Here?"

Song Cheng took a quick look and then said, "Tell me the story of this household."

The loafer recounted the tale in a flurry.

As Song Cheng listened, he gradually came to understand the reason for Yune’s marriage to a distant place.

It was essentially a story of a "Cinderella" who married out.

Her family used to run a Martial Arts Hall. Yune’s mother died early, and her father remarried. But one day, Yune’s father went missing, and the stepmother began to abuse Yune in every possible way.

Yune finally had a chance to marry off to Tang River Village and took the White Snake Blade of the martial arts hall with her.

She thought she had escaped a harsh life, but little did she know she had jumped into yet another hell.

As for her family, after Yune left, it declined as the stepson squandered all their wealth on gambling. The mother committed suicide after a dispute with her son...

The son fled due to his debts, disappearing to who knows where.

And the mansion was naturally taken over by the creditors.

However, since it was considered haunted, no one would buy it, so it fell to ruin, with weeds growing so tall that they would reach an elder’s knees.

Song Cheng, learning who currently owned the property, liberally used his wealth to buy the place and then slightly showed his strength, which scared the gambling den’s master into kowtowing immediately.

Being in a region controlled by the Su Family, Song Cheng intentionally left behind his Ghostly Fox’s Visualization Portrait and sketched out the legend of the "Fox Immortal" to construct a complete image of himself for others to visualize.

The den’s master, knowing when to comply, followed his orders. He arranged for people to clear away the overgrown weeds in the yard of the ruined mansion and then, per the mysterious man’s instruction, scattered seeds of white lilies all over the yard.

As for the flowers originally belonging to Yune, they were long gone.

Perhaps they withered, or perhaps they had been uprooted by her stepmother or someone else.

Yune might have been an ordinary woman, but from the moment she became a Drowning Ghost and formed a bond with Song Cheng, she was no longer ordinary...

Song Cheng entered Chenyang Prefecture by day and left under the cover of darkness.

The stars filled the sky, and within the Heart’s Eye, the moon remained a large ink blot disseminating twisted black lines.

The last message Yune left him was that the Reincarnation Platform... was on the moon.

...

"General, the situation has been investigated. Xiping, Huachi, and Xiaowan counties are all in chaos.

Now, the Six Towns have risen in turmoil again. Many local experts have been called upon to suppress them, leaving the cities and counties vulnerable.

Many covert powers have taken advantage of the situation, seizing control of several places with weak defenses like bandits."

Within the military tent, a fierce wind blew, causing the heavy canvas to billow in and out.

The man inside, both scholarly and brimming with intent to kill, put down his notes. Glancing at the messenger, he smiled and said, "Spread the word, we’ll celebrate the New Year at Wine Prefecture!"

Xiping, Huachi, and Xiaowan counties all belonged to Wine Prefecture.
