Chapter 218: 131, 132. ’Mysterious Lady’ Goddess, the Third Ghost Tide (Major Chapter - Subscription Request)_4

This brother and sister were quite renowned in the Martial Arts World; they had also witnessed Song Cheng’s prowess that day. Hearing the words, they were momentarily stunned before the brother suddenly exclaimed, "It can’t be burned! It must be genuine!"

The gambling den owner said helplessly, "Since the boss couldn’t summon it, he said it was ineffective."

The sister retorted, "Then why isn’t it because the boss didn’t truly believe in his heart? He doesn’t believe in the Mysterious Lady at all and just offered a perfunctory worship..."

Having said that, she exchanged a glance with her brother beside her and both hurriedly ran outside.

They dashed through the night and the long streets.

They rushed upstairs to stop the person intent on burning the painting.

But the person who was to burn the painting had orders from the Splendid Building’s master, so how could he yield?

As the three of them were struggling, a bizarre sound suddenly came from the crack under the door downstairs.

The three stopped fighting and looked at each other.

The one intent on burning the painting hurriedly leaped out the window to escape, but after only a few steps, a scream was heard in the distance, followed by the faint glow of a lantern’s red light. The siblings could then clearly see that the person who had just been arguing with them had been cleaved in two, with organs scattered everywhere and intestines trailing on the snowy ground.

Looking around, they saw more paper figures approaching from other directions.

In their despair, they glanced at each other and hurriedly took out the painting, hanging it back above the shrine and beginning to burn incense, worshipping with all their sincerity and devotion.

Creak...

Creak...

The door downstairs began to shake.

Bang!

The door opened.

The siblings’ eyes were filled with horror and tears.

The strength of these paper beings was comparable to that of the Form Realm; the entire Prefectural City would either have to be filled with the lives of its citizens, or it would require the masters of the Splendid Building, or disciples of the Iron Spear Association leading small troops to fight against them.

They definitely couldn’t handle it.

"Mysterious Lady, savior of the distressed, Mysterious Lady, savior of the suffering..."

"Mysterious Lady..."

The siblings kept praying earnestly.

In the void, a transparent figure suddenly appeared from afar, flying out of the window and looking down at the paper beings outside the door...

Of course, it was Song Cheng.

The reason why he left such a high-profile banner as "Mysterious Lady" was firstly for the ease of its spread, after all, everyone tends to believe in deities with impressive names;

Secondly, he didn’t want people to associate it with him; he was so low-key and male, so how could he possibly be the obviously female "Mysterious Lady"?

This matter, even if told to Sister An, to Madam Tong, to the young miss of the Fox Immortal, they would never believe that "their man, the prestigious Northern Region Blade King, would actually create a female deity account". That would be truly shameless.

And for a pure purpose like "reputation" and "guarding the Northern Region", without any actual benefits and even potentially attracting "strong foes", let the "Mysterious Lady" take the risk.

Fools would expose their identity for such reasons.

If it were for resources, for "privileges", Song Cheng would reveal his strength upon reaching the "required level of favorability" and after completing a "risk assessment."

But in a place like this?

He absolutely would not.

Furthermore, there’s another aspect, which is the nature of "belief" itself.

A deity is a deity because They are exalted and nobody knows who They are.

If people knew They were someone beside them, the reverence would fade...

As long as a deity carries "traces of mortals," it is imperfect.

Song Cheng understood these principles very well.

So, "Mysterious Lady" is "Mysterious Lady" and not Song Cheng.

When he created this "female account", Song Cheng never planned to confess to anyone.

However, speaking of which, in the world from before his transmigration, in those mythological stories, there were often claims like "a certain Female Bodhisattva was once a man", "Bodhisattvas are beyond gender", could it be... that a certain Male Bodhisattva also created a "female deity account" for the sake of being low-key?

Suddenly, the wind and snow outside the building swirled like a vortex, gathering intensely like thousands of white scales dancing in the sky, converging to form an almost thirty-foot tall four-tailed snow fox.

The giant fox’s eyes were profound and shadowy, revealing a terror that no one could directly face...

And the solidification of wind and snow endowed it with real destructive power.

The Ghostly Fox for soul, the wind and snow for body, the power displayed was that of the "Profound Level Grade C of the soul", whose Soul Fire was terrifyingly powerful.

But Soul Fire was the direct soul-eradicating power of "Mysterious Level Grade C", using such force against cannon fodder was rather foolish...

Therefore, solidification through wind and snow was used.

The form condensed by "Mysterious Level Grade C" Song Cheng was of the "Qi Realm".

And Song Cheng’s power data at the Qi Realm was: 419~838.

This number was about the same as that of Su Ningxian’s True Self... far beyond the strength of a normal Qi Realm expert.

Even the exceptional Tie Zhenyi, among the Qi Realm experts, had a strength of only 160~292.

The existence of the Nether Pagoda made Song Cheng’s Manifestation nearly infinite, whereas ordinary souls from the Yin Residence could only last a brief moment.

The giant snow fox instantly took shape. Although it was of the Qi Realm, the sheer size inadvertently increased its lethality.

The Chenyang Prefecture’s sky echoed with laughter like the twinkling of silver bells.

The gambling den owner’s siblings rushed to the railing in amazement, gazing at the giant hovering snow fox in the sky.

The Ghostly Fox’s tail swept lightly.

Bang!

Two terrifying paper figures huddled together were instantly torn apart!

The giant fox hovered in the wind, surveying the land below. Wherever its gaze fell, the data of the reddish Ghost Servants were hit with electric speed, either with a tail sweep or a paw raise...

The entire city’s paper beings were no match.

For Song Cheng, these actions consumed almost nothing.

Only then did Song Cheng start to realize: the youth who had fled in terror from Tang River Village to the county town and then to the Prefectural City... might now be fully capable of defending this place.

That night, he slew with the wind.

All the city’s Ghost Servants were like ants before him.
