Chapter 706: I Have Absolutely No Impure And Inappropriate Desire
The truth is that there really is no viable strategy here.
In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, numbers are useless.
Among those present, only he and Bai Wushuang have any real fighting power, and the rest would only be a hindrance.
If they took the initiative to seek out the Night Wandering Ghost, they would be entering his illusory dream realm. And in the Ghost Mirage, the strength of the Night Wandering Ghost is at the level of the Transcendence Realm, so they have no chance of facing it.
After some thought, Qin Feng asked the original question again, “Elder, is there really no way for us to leave this city?”
The City God did not elaborate further, but simply waved his right hand, and a golden light shot into the sky.
To their astonishment, the bright day suddenly turned to night.
No, this was not a dark night. The surroundings of the huge Suiyang City was dim, as if it was shrouded in a dark curtain.
And above the curtain, everyone seemed to be able to see a pair of huge green eyes, overlooking the entire Suiyang City.
At this point, Qin Feng and the others finally understood the true nature of this illusory realm. Suiyang City was already under the control of the Night Wandering Ghost, and there was no easy way to escape.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Zhan Qingfeng and the others felt their legs turn to jelly.
“Brother Qin, what should we do now?”
Qin Feng’s brow furrowed before he replied, “If we go after the Night Wandering Ghost, once we enter its Ghost Mirage, we have no chance of winning.”
“It is best not to act rashly. Lord Deng will surely send people to look for us since we haven’t returned, and besides...”
Qin Feng glanced at Ya’an and left the rest unsaid.
If the Imperial Princess was trapped in Suiyang City, Emperor Ming would certainly not ignore it.
As long as they don’t provoke the enemy and the enemy doesn’t provoke them, they can wait for the reinforcements to arrive – a solid, stable situation.
The City God shook his head, “This is like waiting for death. From the moment you entered Suiyang City, it has seen through your every move.”
“Do you really think it will let you stay in Suiyang City without doing anything?”
As he said this, the City God’s gaze fell on Qin Feng.
“One is to stir up the desires in people’s hearts, causing them to be trapped in dreams, which is why the townspeople are unable to break free.”
“There are very few people in this world who have pure and unclouded hearts, because most of them have impure desires.”
Ya’an replied unperturbed, “I have studied the teachings of the sages since childhood, and my heart is filled with righteous qi, free of desires. If what the elder says is true, then this Ghost Mirage should not be too formidable for me.”
Qin Feng glanced at her nondescript breasts, wondering where else there would be room for such boundless righteous qi...
However, he also spoke up, “I have been studying for over a decade, and although I have not reached the level of a pure and unclouded heart, my heart is as clear as a polished mirror, free of any impure desires.”
The City God gave them a quick, dismissive look and continued, “The second method is for the Night Wandering Spirit to make a formation with his own hair.”
“Boy, the reason you were able to enter the Ghost Mirage last night was probably due to the latter.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was alarmed – had someone tampered with the inn? He immediately suspected that Liu Qingsi, the captain of the Demon Slaying Department, was the only one capable of thoroughly understanding Suiyang City and secretly helping the Night Wandering Ghost lay the formation!
“I have some knowledge of formations. Now that I know this, I can carefully inspect the surroundings before entering the shrine to disrupt its formation. “
“However, Elder, without the help of the Ghost Mirage, what would be the strength of the physical incarnation of the Night Wandering Ghost in this world?”
“At the peak of the second tier.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened.
“How are we going to fight this? Brother Qin and Miss Wushuang are our strongest, but they’re only at the third rank!” Zhan Qingfeng exclaimed.
“Don’t worry, the Night Wandering Ghost and I are mortal enemies, I will help you in this battle,” the City God said.
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, wondering if the Night Wandering Ghost had somehow stolen the City God’s share of the spiritual power from the sacrifices, thus causing their enmity.
Only Qin Feng had an inkling of the truth – that the Night Wandering Ghost had rebelled against the Heavenly Emperor for some reason, and the City God was on the same side as the Heavenly Emperor...
Regardless of the reason, the fact that the City God was willing to help them was certainly reassuring.
Looking up at the sky, the City God had withdrawn his spiritual powers, and Suiyang City had returned to its daytime appearance.
Qin Feng took a deep breath and began to discuss a battle plan with the group.
Only Bai Wushuang remained by the sacrificial table, quietly waiting for the moment when the elder would let his guard down...
