Chapter 266: 153, 154. Gratitude, again, Yingui in its infancy, unfamiliar Barbarian Tribes (Large Chapter - Subscription Request)

The ghostly soul of the noble family child is nearly indestructible; it’s common knowledge, which is why Su Houzhang had confidently devised a plan to "stick with the evil spirit."

However, this "common knowledge" shattered in Song Cheng’s hands.

The ghostly soul of that mysterious monk was directly crushed by him.

In this process, Song Cheng also gained a deeper understanding of the "Reappear," a unique power of the evil spirit.

Reappear, actually akin to "imprisonment," "Soul Arrest," is about pulling your divine soul instantaneously into the "Reappear World," after which you can never leave.

And in the "Reappear World," the strength of your physical body, the power of your soul, are all ineffective, for Reappear is a very terrifying type of "imprisonment."

But "Reappear" is just imprisonment, not destruction, so many who were killed by evil spirits still had their souls undestroyed, merely temporarily existing in the Reappear World.

Song Cheng, having condensed the power of Reappear, naturally possessed the "Pulling Force" when attacking others’ divine souls.

Ten balls of Fox Fire attack, Twin Ghosts perform Reappear and pull.

With one strike and one pull, back and forth, the surface of the indestructible ghostly soul began to crack and then, unable to recover in time, completely shattered.

The Yan Family and son watched the Two-tailed Xuan Fox standing, feeling an overload of safety at that moment.

The feeling of "wandering a round in the valley of death, seeing sunlight in a situation without any hope" brought tears to their eyes.

"Uncle Song!"

"Brother Song...no, Mr. Song, I... I honestly don’t know how to thank you."

Song Cheng wrote on the ground: ’The death of Gongyang Gu is suspicious; I was worried about you, so I came back to check.’

King of Li Mountain said, "It’s good you came to take a look; otherwise, my son and I would have likely died here."

At this, the Prime Lord and Prince of the Dashang Dynasty suddenly had a thought flash in his mind, and then turning to Yan Baixiang, said, "Xiang, from now on, view Uncle Song as your own father and never be negligent, always remembering today’s incident."

Yan Baixiang had already greatly admired Song Cheng, and now he gazed at Song Cheng, a bit nervous as if afraid of being rejected, and said, "Uncle Song."

Song Cheng nodded, indicating his approval.

He did hope that Su Mengzhen’s line would continue well, after all, it was a matter of loving the house and its crows.

Eventually, as a Prime Lord, seeing Song Cheng’s reaction, King of Li Mountain impulsively said, smiling, "Mr. Song, I see that this child also feels a natural closeness to you, why not let him acknowledge you as his godfather?"

King of Li Mountain was calculating in his mind.

First, with Song Cheng being so powerful, having his own son acknowledge him as a godfather—if he could continue to instruct his son—then Xiang’s achievements in military strategy would undoubtedly be limitless.

Although Thundercloud State is remote, with many Demon Beasts on Accumulating Thunder Mountain, after seeing the three thousand elite troops of Gongyang Gu at Soul Severing Valley, he roughly understood the future direction of power: military strength values quality over quantity.

When the Northern Barbarians invaded, he had also led some people north to confront them. After seeing the Barbarian’s Demon Beast Cavalry, he was greatly impressed. On the way fleeing back, he wondered if, once he returned to Thundercloud State, could Yan Banruo also put together a troop of Demon Beast Cavalry?

Originally, he didn’t have much hope, but during this journey, his son’s worship of Song Cheng’s military doctrines, as well as the rumors he heard about Song Cheng, unexpectedly revived his hope.

If King of Li Mountain wanted to establish a foothold in Thundercloud State, and even guard this place, he would certainly need the support of this "brother-in-law."

Second, since Song Cheng had a profound relationship with Fairy Sister, if he could mediate, then perhaps... his chances of reconnecting with Fairy Sister might increase a bit?

Overall, having Xiang acknowledge Song Cheng as his godfather was an immensely beneficial deal.

But upon hearing this statement, Song Cheng was also stunned.

This matter should be discussed with Su Mengzhen and Su Ningyu first.

He wrote: ’Let me think about it.’

King of Li Mountain was overjoyed and continuously expressed his gratitude.

Being willing to "consider" it was already very commendable.

"Brother-in-law" really was a great guy.

Afterward, Song Cheng escorted the Yan family father and son deeper into Thundercloud State.

Along the way, Yan Baixiang asked him non-stop about military tactics, and later raised the possibility of "establishing a Demon Beast Cavalry."

Song Cheng merely wrote: ’Demon Beasts are hard to tame; to integrate them with cavalry, you need to start from their youth, and it’s not something that can be accomplished in just a year or two.’

He had managed to merge medicinal humans and martial artists into the army, but "Demon Beast Cavalry" was not just a matter of military momentum but required a natural fit between the beasts and the cavalry, with the cavalry needing to be able to control the demon beasts, which could not happen without a decade or more of work.

Yan Baixiang said, "Uncle, if I try to establish it, could you please come and take a look?"

Song Cheng thought it over, deciding that conducting an experiment with Young General Yan wouldn’t be a bad idea, since he also wanted to establish a Demon Beast Cavalry in Hanping Village, so he nodded.

The three traveled west and, after several days, arrived at a city nearly enveloped in wind and sand.

Unlike the bustling flow of people in Central Earth cities, the city gate here was only sporadically dotted with travelers, mostly traders and caravans, probably because Thundercloud State also had some products that sold very well in the Central Plains.

The city guard, with bushy brows and big eyes, exuded a hidden explosiveness but had a demeanor completely contrasting his appearance, lounging carelessly.

Sitting atop the city wall, he drank fine wine, his drunken eyes gazing distantly, muttering lines of poetry like "Yellow sand sets with the sun, lone smoke rises, long upon the city walls, no one understands."

Suddenly, he saw two figures in the sandstorm, hesitated for a moment, and upon rubbing his eyes for a clearer look, he froze, then became overjoyed, leaping to the front of the parapet, fixated on the distance, shouting, "Prime Lord? Young Master?"
