67: Obtained the Replica Mirror!

"Run! Run! Jū-san, don't leave me behind, let's escape together!"

"baka! You're slow, and you want to drag me down too!"

"We are both elites of Sakura Country; only the two of us are compatible!"

"baka! If you just run fast! I'll naturally stay with you! And..." Kikuchijima panted, letting out a breath.

"As long as we have the replication mirror, as long as we can escape, we can definitely make Sakura Country even stronger!"

After running for a long time, their vision was contaminated by thick white fog.

Kikuchijima finally noticed the existence of the white fog and slowly stopped.

Hanbonda also followed closely, bumping into Kikuchijima.

The two men were panting heavily, but their eyes were slightly bright.

"Yōshī, with so much fog, did we escape?"

"Yōshī! Probably! Hahaha, no matter how strong that little white face is, if you give me some time, I will definitely be able to replicate the most powerful legend!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

"Oh? Is that so?"

The two men were slightly stunned.

Kikuchijima looked at Hanbonda, "Did you say that?"

Hanbonda shook his head violently. Just then, the white fog began to dissipate, and a figure slowly appeared before the two men.

Kikuchijima froze instantly.

Wan Ning!

Why was he right at his feet!

A chill emanated from his neck.

He stiffly turned his head slowly. The tang saber rested quietly against his neck, and the faint layer of frost seemed like a Soul-Reaping Hook coming to take his life.

"What kind of death do you think you want!"

Wang Yunchen spoke coldly.

Hanbonda, who was nearby, had already collapsed onto the ground, his eyes unfocused and his body trembling.

"Wh-why! Didn't I run away! Mommy, help!"

Hanbonda fell to the ground with a thud.

Kikuchijima became extremely terrified. He couldn't imagine it; he couldn't believe it.

The man before him had not only instantly killed the most powerful and fierce ghost he had replicated but had also captured him without anyone noticing.

He glanced over. The body of the Laughing Hannya had exploded into pieces on the ground, and faint Explosion sounds were still coming from the corpse.

He stammered, "My Lord... please don't kill me, I don't want to die yet..."

Wang Yunchen swung his blade violently, the cold back of the knife striking Kikuchijima's neck, causing him to instantly lose consciousness.

"What nonsense are you babbling about! I won't kill you for now; I'll wait for the Spirit Control Association to deal with it!"

Wang Yunchen crouched down and pulled the bronze mirror from Kikuchijima's embrace!

An antique bronze mirror reflected Wang Yunchen's handsome face.

He observed it curiously, "Is this the source that summoned that disgusting Calamity just now?"

Suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation emerged from the bronze mirror.

The corpse of the Laughing Hannya, which had just exploded and shattered, slowly turned into a white thread and drifted into the bronze mirror.

At this moment, the villagers behind Wang Yunchen slowly gathered, stopping one meter away from him.

Although they were all floating, their eyes were filled with shock!

The Little Hannya just now could have easily crushed them; they had absolutely no power to resist.

But.

The man before them, this Handsome Guy who had only arrived in the village a few days ago! He had actually used just one knife to slay the terrifying ghost that threatened them!

They dared not move easily now. The Village Chief also suppressed his fear and slowly floated toward Wang Yunchen.

"Ha-Handsome Guy! Can you return this antique mirror to us? Our entire village has been worshipping it for many years!"

Wang Yunchen looked at all the villagers in confusion, "Are you aware of your current situation?"

"What situation?"

"The situation where you are currently Soul bodies!"

Suddenly, all the villagers seemed to remember something! After the shock, they instantly vanished one by one!

Next to this dilapidated small temple.

Besides the unconscious people, only Wang Yunchen was left alone.

Wang Yunchen was also a little confused, "What exactly is going on? Even if I got this bronze mirror, how do I get out?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, an ancient voice came from inside the antique mirror.

A kind-looking Old Man slowly materialized above the bronze mirror.

This Old Man looked exactly like the Buddha Statue.

The Old Man looked at Wang Yunchen and smiled softly.

"I, this Old Man, feel destined to meet you! Young friend, let us form a contract!"

"Quack! Wait, you are... the Artifact Spirit of the antique mirror?"

"That's right! My name is Xiao Yao! You can call me Elder Xiao. You can ask me anything!"

Xiao Yao's transparent body seemed very similar to that of the previous villagers.

Wang Yunchen looked at Xiao Yao, "I only have one question: Is Song Hua dead or not!"

Xiao Yao's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect you to ask that. I thought you would ask why I didn't show myself when I was stolen."

"Don't worry, Song Hua's spirit body is inside my antique mirror. All the villagers here were created by me. As long as I don't perish, they won't be destroyed!"

Wang Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief. This way, Xiao He wouldn't be sad.

But changing the subject, Xiao Yao's expression became somewhat serious.

"Young man, I believe you have many questions. I will explain them clearly to you all at once."

"This is a world that I replicated! Although a thousand years have passed, this place will not disappear."

Xiao Yao let out a soft sigh.

"The recent replication has drained my reserves, and I can no longer maintain the physical forms of those spirit bodies."

Wang Yunchen raised an eyebrow slightly. He clearly understood that the Calamity just now was no weaker than the previous Tentacle Calamity, and yet it was merely a replication.

"Then how exactly were you formed?"

"Naturally, I had a master!"

Xiao Yao's expression held a hint of loneliness.

"Thousands of years ago, it was an era where everyone Cultivated Immortality, a turbulent time when geniuses constantly emerged."

"But due to a terrifying descent, everything vanished. Spiritual Qi rapidly depleted, and those who Cultivated continuously recorded their past events, slowly dying away with the passage of time."

"And my master also vanished this way, leaving only me, an Old Man."

The atmosphere seemed to become somewhat heavy!

Xiao Yao suddenly burst into laughter.

"However, looking at the current situation, Spiritual Qi has revived! But... Elder Xiao, I am also about to disappear."

Wang Yunchen roughly understood the origin of this place and also obtained some other information. He looked at Xiao Yao with some confusion.

"Why!"

"Because my Spiritual Qi reserve has dried up, and I will be leaving soon!"

Wang Yunchen frowned slightly, "Is there no other way?"

"There is! Only by signing a contract can you continuously receive the nourishment of Spiritual Qi."

Just then, the cold System voice suddenly rang out.

[Ding, congratulations host, you have gained the Magical Artifact's approval. You may proceed with subjugation after contact.]

Wang Yunchen's eyes lit up.

This couldn't have come at a better time!

Wang Yunchen smiled.

"If I form a contract with you, what benefits can I gain!"

Xiao Yao curled his lips.

"You will gain a versatile, perfect... massive aid that will help you soar all the way!"
