139: Intercept, intercept! Gate of Ten Thousand Demons!

Lin Qi Ye stared blankly at Chen Muye, whose body was gradually blurring. As the entire city decayed, Chen Muye would also return from a Miracle to the mundane.

"Ah…"

Lin Qi Ye let out a sorrowful wail. He couldn't understand why, every time his life was about to get back on track, chaotic situations always arose.

He looked at the moon and became blind.

Just as he was about to recover, he encountered Ghost Face.

He barely escaped Ghost Face's clutches, only to run into Zhao Kongcheng.

Now, he had finally made up his mind to protect this city, but the truth was that Cangnan City had been destroyed ten years ago.

God, this isn't how you play a joke, is it?

"Hahaha, this isn't real, you're all lying to me, all of you!"

"Hong Ying, this is fake, right?"

"Captain, is this another one of your tests?"

"Vice Captain, say something! Quickly tell me, this is all fake!"

Lin Qi Ye's belief collapsed. At this moment, he was like someone who had lost his mind, crying and clamoring, trying to get an answer from the 136 Squad members.

Unfortunately, everyone was silent at this time.

They wanted to comfort Lin Qi Ye, but they didn't know what to say. At this point, anything they said would be like rubbing salt in his wound.

"Aunt, A Jin!" Lin Qi Ye flailed his arms, trying to grasp something in the air, "I can't tell, I can't tell…"

Suddenly, several blue halos of light appeared around Lin Qi Ye's body.

The members of 136 Squad had just witnessed similar energy not long ago; it was the power of the God of Magic.

Mind Magic [Clear Mind and Calm Spirit]!

Mind Magic [Weak Emotion Curse]!

Mind Magic [Lock Heart Seal Thought]!

This was Merlin's doing. He and Nix had both felt an unprecedented turmoil in the mental hospital.

Merlin did not hesitate, directly casting three consecutive Mind Magic spells to stabilize Lin Qi Ye's mental state.

Lin Qi Ye, forcibly stabilized, had a vacant look in his eyes as he looked at everyone, losing his usual spirit…

Master Chen and Lu Wuwei looked at Cangnan City, which had entered its countdown, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The two of them glanced at Song Zhong and found that Song Zhong was also observing the destruction process of Cangnan.

However, this guy seemed like an observer, just watching silently, neither speaking nor making any moves.

Sensing the gazes of Master Chen and Lu Wuwei, Song Zhong smiled:

"Hehe, everyone, are we still fighting? Although Cangnan City has returned to its erased state, the next generation born from the power of the Miracle will not disappear with Cangnan."

Song Zhong paused, "But if you just watch like this, many children might be crushed to death by the ruins. Even if no one dies, it's not good to crush flowers and plants."

Master Chen's expression was somewhat surprised. Although this Song Zhong was associated with the Ancient God Church, there seemed to be an inexplicable aura about him.

"Old Lu, let's save people!" Master Chen hesitated and said, while keeping his eyes fixed on Song Zhong.

Sure enough, Song Zhong still made no move.

Master Chen and Lu Wuwei exchanged glances, then rushed into Cangnan City to rescue the young new generations…

A round mirror appeared before Yang Jin; this was a minor Divine Ability performed by the Heavenly Venerate.

The scene in the round mirror was the delirious Lin Qi Ye.

Yang Jin clenched his fists, and drops of blood seeped through his fingers.

"Yang Jian, don't worry too much. Everyone has their own Dao to walk. Forcibly interfering might backfire," the Heavenly Venerate reminded him.

Gasp!

Yang Jin took a deep breath, silently praying in his heart, hoping that Lin Qi Ye could overcome this difficult ordeal.

"Little Black Scabby, how much power do you have left?"

Yang Jin squatted down and stroked Little Black Scabby's head.

Another Divine Ability of Celestial Hound was to guide Souls.

Although Cangnan was destroyed, he could have Little Black Scabby use its Divine Ability to send the Souls of those who died ten years ago into Reincarnation, saving them from the suffering of wandering ghosts.

"Woof!"

Little Black Scabby stood up and placed its front paws on Yang Jin's knees, indicating that it was fine.

However, Yang Jin's brows furrowed; he noticed that Little Black Scabby's condition was not right.

The successive battles, especially against the Great God Brahma of World Destruction's agent, had caused it considerable depletion.

To guide the Souls of the entire deceased Cangnan was too heavy a burden for it.

What should be done?

Yang Jin hesitated…

Outside Cangnan City, Lin Qi Ye's mind had completely fallen into a trance.

Merlin's Mind Magic could only stabilize the current situation and had no therapeutic effect.

Just as the 136 Squad members didn't know what to do, the almost catatonic Lin Qi Ye suddenly trembled and called out a name:

"Song Zhong!"

"Song Zhong!"

…

Song Zhong, standing in the air, sensed someone calling him. In a mere thought, he understood the situation.

"Hehe, the sea of suffering is boundless; turn back and you will reach the shore. I have received your wish!"

At the same time, Little Black Scabby's body grew larger again. Its eyes were incredibly resolute; rather than watching these Souls wander aimlessly, it was better to save as many as possible.

An ancient chant emanated from Little Black Scabby's mouth, "Souls, return!"

In Cangnan City, countless Souls, upon hearing this ancient chant, instinctively floated towards Little Black Scabby.

Yang Jin looked at Little Black Scabby with a heavy heart, filled with endless sadness.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

All the Souls suddenly stopped, looking in unison towards the northeast direction of Cangnan City.

In that direction, the Cangnan earth, which had already turned into ruins, suddenly emitted a violent tremor.

If you were to overlook Cangnan at this moment, you would discover that two enormous peach trees had broken through the earth beneath the due east and due north of Cangnan.

Those two peach trees continuously grew taller, then approached each other, and finally their two canopies intertwined.

From a distance, the two peach trees looked as if they had formed a massive gateway.

Not only that, but between the branches of the peach trees, flower buds rapidly grew and bloomed.

Before long, the two peach trees were covered in pink peach blossoms, and the night wind blew, carrying the fragrant scent of flowers.

Those flower scents seemed to have an irresistible attraction for ghosts. Gradually, the Souls began to walk towards that great gate.

Even Chen Muye's Soul found it difficult to resist the allure of the flower scent.

"Captain!" Wu Xiangnan shouted.

"Stop, don't go near the northeast direction!" Chen Muye shouted, "It seems like something is about to come out of there!"

No sooner had Chen Muye finished speaking than a giant black shadow emerged from the Peach Gate.

It was a ghost, a one-armed ghost, carrying a straight blade on its back.

"Enter my Ghost Country, and gain eternal life!"

The ghost's voice was incredibly loud. Upon hearing it, the Souls frantically floated towards the Peach Gate.

Little Black Scabby and Yang Jin were both dumbfounded.

"Souls, return! Souls, return!" Little Black Scabby quickly continued chanting, but the Souls simply wouldn't listen.

What's going on?

At this moment, not only Yang Jin and Little Black Scabby were bewildered, but also the members of the 136 Squad.

Because they recognized the ghost that had suddenly appeared, although it was missing an arm, that ghost's face was clearly Zhao Kongcheng!
