211: This is my gift to you!

Within Afraid to leave’s Hell space, the mixed emotions of Yue Huai sat blankly within the Red Lotus.

He stared at the scattered altar fragments on the ground, lost in thought.

How did my altar end up like this?

Several shipping containers full of Mental Capsules just went down the drain?

What about Wind God Xiu?

Where did my great Egyptian Wind God go?

Damn it, I lost, I lost big time.

Suddenly, Yue Huai shivered, and a bone-chilling wind poured in through the hole.

He unconsciously hugged his arms across his chest, looking like a lonely old man sleeping on the streets.

Song Zhong surveyed his surroundings and saw the messy containers and ruins.

“It seems you made a lot of preparations!”

The cold wind howled, and more ice cones pierced through the petals of the Red Lotus.

Afraid to leave’s ability came from Shen Tu. Here, Shen Tu leaked a trace of power, severing Yue Huai’s connection with the Great God Brahma of World Destruction.

After the connection was severed, the power of this Red Lotus was greatly reduced.

Now, Song Zhong had the home-field advantage; his field magic was terrifying.

“Song Zhong!” Yue Huai had just spoken a sentence when he heard a ‘click’ from his jaw.

A sensation of pain came from his mandible. Just by opening his mouth to say two words, Yue Huai’s jaw was dislocated.

“Hehe! I cast the power of the Curse on you, so your body is very weak now.”

Song Zhong looked at Yue Huai with a chuckle. From the moment he stepped into the Red Lotus, Song Zhong had cast a Curse on Yue Huai.

After all, he was the agent of the God of Destruction. If he wanted to commit suicide, Song Zhong might not be able to stop him.

A flame of anger ignited in Yue Huai’s eyes. Only after Song Zhong’s reminder did he realize that he was actually feeling tired.

He slowly raised his hand and, with a “pop,” reset his jaw.

This simple action, however, made Yue Huai start to pant heavily.

“Huff… Song Zhong, I lost.”

“There’s no need to state the obvious.”

Yue Huai’s face darkened. “Can you let me go? We can negotiate.”

“What do you think? Can your terms be higher than the heavens?” Song Zhong’s smile was like a devil’s.

“I… I know many secrets, and aren’t you curious how I filled the second altar?”

Yue Huai was truly flustered; this kid opposite him was a bit sinister.

“If I want to know, I have ways.”

Song Zhong suddenly attacked, his movements as fast as lightning.

Yue Huai had already sensed that he was going to strike him, but his weakened body couldn’t react in time.

Puff!

Song Zhong’s grayish-green palm passed through Yue Huai’s chest, grasping his heart.

Yue Huai used all his Mental Energy to protect his heart, maintaining its vitality.

But wisps of icy black lines emerged from Song Zhong’s hand.

Those black lines, like maggots clinging to bone, frantically devoured Yue Huai’s Mental Energy.

“What do you want to do?”

Yue Huai’s expression changed. Song Zhong seemed unwilling to simply finish him off.

He wanted to do something unspeakable to him.

“Hehehe, let me enter your heart!” Song Zhong said with a sinister smile.

Yue Huai’s heart suddenly constricted, and countless black lines penetrated the Mental Energy’s defense, drilling into his heart.

“Let me see what’s in your mind?”

Song Zhong’s whisper echoed in Yue Huai’s ears. A chilling Qi followed the black lines into his heart, then quickly spread throughout his entire body.

Yue Huai’s pupils contracted violently. He tried to move his little finger, but he couldn’t.

“Next, let me see what’s in your mind.”

Boom!

Yue Huai only felt thunder and lightning in his mind, and huge waves and terrifying flames stirred up a natural disaster in his consciousness.

Immediately, he was powerless to resist. His memories were opened scene by scene by Song Zhong, who began to read them.

Just as Song Zhong was carefully reviewing Yue Huai’s memories, he suddenly discovered his conversation with Bai Li Xin.

“Oh?” Song Zhong watched the entire process of Yue Huai’s transaction with Bai Li Xin, unconsciously frowning.

“In the original plot, there was no such thing. It seems things have become interesting.”

…

Wang Mian stepped into the main hall. The dust from the explosion had not yet dispersed, but the “cocoon” formed by the gathering blood-colored mist began to fade in color.

He tightened his grip on Yi Yuan, watching the changes in the red mist.

Two figures appeared from within the mist.

“Oh, isn’t this Wang Mian? Long time no see, consider this a welcome gift!”

Song Zhong appeared from within the red mist, a headless corpse lying at his feet.

He held a bloody head in his hand.

Song Zhong walked towards Wang Mian, offering Yue Huai’s head.

Wang Mian’s grip on Yi Yuan tightened even more.

Looking at Song Zhong approaching, Wang Mian felt an indescribably bizarre sensation in his heart.

Evil!

This guy was too evil.

Are we close? You give me such a big gift as soon as we meet.

And what custom is it to give someone a head as a greeting?

Wang Mian took a step back, not reaching for Yue Huai’s head.

“Song Zhong, what exactly do you want to do here?” Wang Mian asked cautiously.

“Do what? Shen Qingzhu should have already told you the news. Of course, I’m here to occupy Anta County.”

Song Zhong’s smile, illuminated by the head and the eerie light, was incredibly sinister.

“You wouldn’t think I’m joking, would you?”

Wang Mian sighed, “If you do this, you’ll be standing against the entire Great Xia. It seems I have no choice but to draw my blade against you.”

Just as Wang Mian was about to make a move, the entire Fengdu Ghost City suddenly began to shake.

Rumble!

The palaces and residential buildings in the city began to collapse continuously, and cracks appeared on the ground, as if an exquisite glass artwork had been fiercely struck by a hammer.

Earthquake?

Not only Wang Mian, but the two small teams outside also had this question in their minds.

“What happened?”

“It doesn’t seem right!”

“Is it a fluctuation caused by the battle between the two Gods?”

An Qingyu lay on the ground, pressing his ear to the surface.

A moment later, he stood up with a solemn expression and said, “Everyone, this anomaly seems to be coming from outside.”

The sudden change interrupted Wang Mian’s actions, and Song Zhong also threw Yue Huai’s head aside, taking out the forbidden item [NJY] from his embrace.

Looking at the unread messages on it, Song Zhong immediately understood what was happening outside.

The ritual to summon Wind God Xiu was successful, but the location of its appearance was a bit unexpected: He descended above Anta County.

And now, the land of Anta County had been completely cut by Xiu’s wind blades, detaching from Great Xia and drifting into the mist.

“This is troublesome! These Outer Gods are also eyeing Anta County.”

At the same time, Osiris and Fengdu Great Emperor both sensed the changes in the outside world.

Osiris laughed heartily: “You’re finished, my helper has arrived.”

Fengdu Great Emperor remained silent.

Osiris became even more triumphant, and a golden light bloomed from His chest.

That was His trump card, a portion of the Sun Origin bestowed upon Him by Sun God Ra.
