Chapter 252: 147, 148. Flirted? A ’Mass-Produced’ Tribulation (Major Chapter - Please Subscribe)

Song Cheng returned to An Residence, and it was already late at night.

Beyond the vast farmlands, one could still see empty and dilapidated houses, abandoned towers.

The ocean of ruins, under the grim moonlight, had bricks and tiles standing jaggedly, edged like ghosts... eerily silent, like a ghost town.

The entirely new Hanping Village, however, seemed to have condensed all the light once belonging to the Original Hanping Prefecture, and due to the many powerful Martial Artists present, the Yang Qi there was also unprecedentedly abundant, resembling an isolated island in the vast deep sea... a fortress.

Inns, storehouses, and residences were the three most common types of buildings in Hanping Village now.

Residences were for living, currently housing several types of people: Martial Artists, merchants, pharmacists, Soul Trainers, Beast Tamers, farmers, chefs, servants, prostitutes, and others...

Storehouses were used for the Ruyi Commerce Chamber to rotate goods, as well as to store some unique items, given that this place stood amidst the Ghost Tide, like an isolated town, which frequently contained strange treasures or eerie items.

Inns were the favorite places for Martial Artists, which gathered many excellent chefs from the Original Hanping Prefecture. Also, here, one could even find many prostitutes. These prostitutes were the best batch from the Original Hanping Prefecture. During the southern migration, many prostitutes chose to stay. Firstly, because many of them had ailing bodies and feared dying on the way or getting caught in uncertain battles, and secondly, because the Ruyi Commerce Chamber provided substantial subsidies to those who stayed.

Martial Artists, with their robust vitality, if unmarried, often spent the night at inns...

This was the Hanping Village of today, also known as Yingui Association.

When Song Cheng walked through Hanping Village, there were still many people in the streets, some drunkenly singing, others arm in arm, or furiously confronting each other, presenting the scene of a bustling market.

Anyone walking here, if unaware of these people’s capabilities, would only think it a rather prosperous village and wouldn’t suspect the hidden threats.

However, whatever they were doing, as soon as they saw Song Cheng, they would immediately stop their activities and call out "Mr. Song" with utmost respect.

Here, Mr. Song was unique and truly supreme.

But, today Mr. Song was not quite well.

He felt an inexplicable restlessness within him.

It was the kind of restlessness typical of a healthy man.

In the Yin Residence of the Su Family, though he had not seen the scene on the desk, he could imagine it...

The cold, charming, outwardly fierce and aloof elder sister-in-law, with her legs crossed, bare little feet swinging under the table, her toes tracing a path and gently touching him.

When he looked in surprise, the elder sister-in-law then cast an innocent and puzzled look, seemingly questioning his thoughts.

Song Cheng rubbed his hair, brushing this scene from his mind.

After returning to An Residence and spending some time teasing Ting and An, he then chose Yu’s room.

A night of casting spells.

Above the snow-capped peaks, below the nether springs.

In the White Tiger Cave, golden light radiated in all directions.

Yet inexplicably, during that spell-casting, Song Cheng always found himself thinking of that scene in the Su Family’s Yin Residence, thus becoming particularly fierce.

But Yu rather liked it, wrapping her arms around him and sweetly saying, "I like you, my husband," before then deeply falling asleep.

...

...

The next day, early.

Song Cheng no longer focused on the King of Li Mountain.

Regarding the Imperial Capital, he merely deepened his understanding, realizing... even the Imperial Capital was just a part of the chessboard. The real players were not on the front lines.

His attention should be on the Buddhist Sect.

But he had no way to contact the Buddhist Sect.

However, he was not in a rush.

There was plenty of time, no need to hurry until the spies of the Yingui Association developed further.

The Longevity People had all the patience in the world.

He told Miss An that "Su Mengzhen" would stay for a long time and then took the responsibility of instructing Ting and An, as well as Lingxue, before heading to the training field to continue training the Army Formation.

He needed to train not only the large Army Formation but also the small one.

Ying, Wang Tianchuan, along with Ke Bucun, the "Beast Tamer," closely followed him.

Ying might still have a rough idea, but the latter two were completely unaware of what Song Cheng had done the previous day, unaware that he had crushed an Invincible Army mixed with children of Noble Families.

In fact, Song Cheng himself did not realize "how irresolvable he actually was" before taking action.

It was merely a simple "long-term manifestation" and "somewhat solid foundation," yet it brought about such a terrifying effect.

Afterwards...

While training "Qi Realm soldiers," Song Cheng started pondering his own power.

Perhaps it was because of his experiences, his "Xuanwu True Qi" deduction probability had increased, but that was no longer his focus.

Self-deduction was a hugely lengthy project.

He now focused on the combination of existing powers.

And his current powers, to put simply, were of three types:

One, to sever the enemy’s body, which involved Xuanwu Six Styles supplemented by the Grey Membrane state.

Multiple Phantom Shadows enveloped the body, thus forming the Grey Membrane.

Two, to attack the enemy’s Divine Soul, which involved the One-tailed Fox Dance, Five-Tailed Soul Fire, and Six Tails Mother-and-Child Spirit.

Three, to confine and bind the enemy’s Divine Soul, which involved the reappearing evil spirit, Extreme Joy World, and Great Dark Heaven.

The three types of power were very dispersed, each being usable only one at a time.

Song Cheng pondered whether he could integrate them.

Days passed, and four or five days flew by.

Five days later, while Song Cheng was still contemplating, Ling arrived in a carriage, calling out, "Son-in-law, Son-in-law." When Song Cheng approached, she spoke in a strange tone, softly saying, "The Head of the Su Family has arrived."

Song Cheng nodded, got on the carriage, and then asked, "Ling, your tone seems to be hiding something."

Ling said, "Son-in-law, once you see the Head of the Su Family, you’ll understand."
