Chapter 2254: Chapter 2254: Medicine Shocks the World (39)

The man dodged the two evil spirits and whistled. The surrounding demonic beasts became restless, then charged forward simultaneously.

Their momentum was fierce, and even the ground trembled.

Chuzheng raised her hand with a wave, and the evil spirits hidden in the dark frenziedly emerged, engaging in combat with the demonic beasts.

The demonic beasts, tough-skinned and difficult to deal with, were a poor match against the elusive evil spirits. Generally, there would be no definitive result between these two species in a fight.

But...

But the evil spirits had Jing Po’s concocted poison.

The demonic beasts could withstand the physical attacks of the evil spirits but not their poison assaults.

The man: "..."

Chuzheng placed Jing Po into a coffin, set a defense with Yin Xian, tilted her head left and right, pinched her wrist, and headed towards the battlefield.

-

The River of Forgetfulness quietly flowed through the forest, as if the trees themselves grew within it.

Evil spirits occasionally surfaced on the river, exuding an air of eeriness.

About dozens of meters away from the River of Forgetfulness, demonic beasts lay strewn across the ground, with evil spirits partying wildly on their corpses.

The small mountain of coffins in the middle had already collapsed, revealing vaguely the vast engraved black platform at the bottom.

A little girl kicked aside some debris at the edge, bent down to observe for a moment, then plopped down onto it.

An evil spirit dragged a man forward and tossed him at her feet.

The man’s mask was gone, revealing a rather unremarkable face.

Looking like that, he wouldn’t stand out among passersby, and yet he chose to wear a mask to mimic others.

Was it necessary?

The man: "!!!" Well, isn’t it just to make himself recognizable since others wouldn’t recognize him otherwise?

Chuzheng placed her foot on a nearby pile of debris, rested her elbow on her knee, assuming a domineering "bandit entering the village" pose: "Come, tell your story."

The man: "..." Who the hell are you humiliating!

Why is he here now!

This isn’t what he expected at all!

Why was the demon spirit he summoned so formidable!

The man, lost in his thoughts, suddenly got so angry that he spewed blood.

Chuzheng: "!!!"

I didn’t even lay a hand on him!

-

The man was something that the Wuyin Town crowd dredged up, and according to him, he was a big deal several hundred years ago.

He committed too many vile acts, leading to cultivators from the continent banding together to kill him.

However, the man said they were actually after the power he possessed.

The cultivators who killed him set up a formation to ensure he wouldn’t come back as an undead and completely subjugated him.

The location happened to be Wuyin Town, but during his time, there was nothing there.

This suppression lasted for over a thousand years until someone dredged him up again.

The crowd somehow got wind of the place where he was suppressed.

Over time, the suppressive powers weakened significantly, allowing him to communicate with them.

So...

He taught them how to break the formation and how to rescue him.

The man knew Wuyin Town connected to the River of Forgetfulness, so he had them search for a Forgetfulness Tree seed and arranged for a formation that intercepted the river.

With the river’s flow interrupted, spiritual bodies from the continent could not advance and reach the Underworld upon arriving here.

And he restored his strength by absorbing the power of the spiritual bodies.

However, the crowd was unaware of this. They believed it was merely to confine the spiritual bodies of Wuyin Town.

Of course, he manipulated some things. The crowd left once, and shortly after, problems arose, making them believe it was a curse from the spirits of Wuyin Town. Hence, they quickly trusted his words and set up a formation to cut off the River of Forgetfulness as he instructed.

Once they left, the crowd’s motives gradually became apparent.

Their pursuit was still for the power he acquired back in the day.

At the time, when he had just emerged, he was extremely weak and naturally couldn’t confront them directly.

So, he instigated internal strife among them.

The reason why he ended up in Jueyi Tower is quite simple.

Among the crowd at the time was only one from Jueyi Tower, who coincidentally was his descendant.

This was completely unexpected to him, but given the bloodline connection, of course, he had to pick his own kind.

... This was likely due to being defeated by blood relations.

Jing Po was someone he had chosen early on, he was perfectly suitable as his vessel.

Yes, he didn’t have a body.

The body he uses now belongs to someone else, and it wouldn’t last long, soon to decay, forcing him to search for another.

But Jing Po was different; plagued with chronic illnesses from a young age, he was coveted by spiritual bodies trying to replace him at every moment.

He was the perfect body.

But, his body seemed to be under some restriction that protected him until he turned sixteen. Even he couldn’t seize it by force.

As Jing Po’s age approached, he could feel the restriction on Jing Po weakening, biding his time for that moment.

Who knew Jing Po would get expelled from Jueyi Tower?

The one with blood relation to him was merely a high-ranking person in Jueyi Tower, not the Tower Master.

Jing Po was the Disciple of the Tower Master; who would dare defy the orders of the Tower Master in Jueyi Tower?

However, fortune favored him, as Jing Po came to him on his own accord.

Yet, the restriction was still evident in Jing Po’s body at that time, so he could only leave something in his body and send him away.

After all, where he resided wasn’t suitable for Jing Po’s survival.

He should have taken Jing Po’s body when he turned sixteen, but a little accident occurred.

Summoning Chuzheng was for his grand ambition to become the foremost being on the Jiuzhou Continent.

He wanted those who banded together to kill him then to see who the ultimate winner was.

"They’re already dead." Chuzheng couldn’t resist interrupting.

The man, interrupted, glared at Chuzheng unhappily: "Is that the main point?"

"Isn’t it?" You’re the one who said you wanted those who killed you back then to see. They’re all dead; how can they see?

The man: "..."

A portion of his power indeed allowed him to control demonic beasts, but many weren’t on the Jiuzhou Continent.

They resided in another space.

He needed to open that space to release more demonic beasts.

Initially, he planned to do it himself, but despite his efforts, he couldn’t even pry open a gap.

The power on Jiuzhou Continent couldn’t accomplish it.

Later, he discovered Demon Spirits, whose unique power might be able to achieve the task.

He took a long time to find the method to summon demon spirits.

Then came the summoning...

Each summoning required a maiden as a sacrificial offering. If successful, the person in the coffin would become a demon spirit.

But each time, the maiden in the coffin died in a gruesome state, resulting in failure.

Until he summoned Chen Yin.

The black coffin appeared from nowhere, coinciding with the disappearance of the sacrificial coffin.

The demon spirit was obedient and executed his commands.

But suddenly lost contact...

No matter, most were nearly accomplished, and the demon spirit’s role was largely diminished.

And then...

Everything Chuzheng experienced.

"Why not kill me?"

"... Who would dare kill a demon spirit?" The man looked sullen, looking at her with an ’are you enforcing entrapment?’ look: "Who can kill a demon spirit!"

Not to mention there’s a contract between him and the demon spirit.
