Chapter 322 - Splitting the Arcane Realm in Three (1/2)
Fang Ning dared not ask the experts now, so he asked the System to ask.
Vigilante A turned around and asked Qiao Zijiang, “Do you know any way to enter the Yin arcane realm after we take out the two scums?”
Fang Ning’s head started to ache. ‘Sir System has super low emotional quotient as usual. The Black and White Impermanence were just standing right in front of him… 1
Qiao Zijiang did not think much, he immediately answered, “According to my analysis, the key to entering the arcane realm is on that ghostly train. The ticket might have needed bodies, but not necessarily human sacrifice. The bodies that were buried before were already dead for some time before they were buried here, and most of them died of natural causes.”
Vigilante A nodded and looked at the two ghosts donned in black and white clergy robes respectively. “So they are two scums who wanted to earn a profit for themselves…”
Even though the two ghosts heard the Vigilante A’s explicit claim to kill them, they were not afraid. They exchanged a glance and simultaneously shook their heads in disdain.
“Heh, did you hear what this mister is saying? Isn’t this the habit humans kept throughout generations?” Danny with the white robe opened up his arms and said nonchalantly, “You are all important people in the world. The world is such a chaotic place, there were plenty of people dying every day, what’s a mere ten thousand? Gift them to us, and we can gift you a priority to become the master of the arcane realm.”
Black-robed Lock smirked and said, “So what if you found out about the truth about the ticket price? One of us is the driver, the other the conductor. Without us, you wouldn’t be able to move this Spectral Train, and you won’t be able to enter the arcane realm. Let me give you an advice, less talk, more burying ten thousand people.”
He said it so matter-of-factly, it was as if ten thousand humans were comparable to ten thousand pigs or goats.
“How dare you be so callous about human lives, you shall no longer exist!”
The two ghosts barely heard the sentence as two white dragon-shaped auras charged toward them.
They were standing in front of the cab.
However, when they realized the dragon-shaped aura heading toward them, they shared a look and laughed without any hint of fear in their eyes.
As expected, the Spectral Train immediately defended itself by erecting a wall of grayish barrier in front of the entrance.
At the same time, the whole Spectral Train, including the cars behind, began making rapping sounds as if it had detected a huge threat.
Immediately, the windows on the cars behind opened slowly one after another, revealing white and pale faces that twist in horrific ways!
The people of the Truth Department inhaled sharply. ‘What a terrifying sight!’
They took two steps back, surrounding Vigilante A with an expression that betrays their fear of missing out on the protection of the Morality…
Qiao Zishan was the only one who stood his ground and instinctively put out a barrier of Morality.
A thick white aura unfolded a meter in front of him. It was vast and divine, just a mere look at it could provide a sense of safety.
However, after a while, he did not feel anyone congregating around him, which was the opposite of the usual missions.
He turned around. Even his own sister hid behind Vigilante A.
‘The Venerable Dragon God did not even have any protection…’
He looked at them, a feeling of helplessness rising within him.
At this point, the two white auras had collided with the barrier.
At that moment, it was as if someone had poured a bucket of water into an even larger wok of boiling oil. Sizzling and rolling, the two different energies canceled each other out, turning into smoke and wisped away.
A hole also appeared on the grayish barrier.
Soon, other grayish off-white aura surged out of the train and began filling the hole.
The entire train still looked creepy, seemingly not damaged at all.
“That’s a really strong aura, you have a really pure Morality, so pure that we needed so much Yin Energy to counter.” Danny feigned surprise. “Lock, calculate for me, what is the ratio of both of our energy loss?”
“One to three.” Lock said coldly.
“Oh, that’s such a surprise,” said Danny exaggeratedly. “Too bad, the Spectral Train is an object of the arcane realm. As long as the arcane realm still exists, it would never run out of Yin Energy. You’re only wasting your strength.”
Lock interrupted impatiently, “Fine, they were just a bunch of Morality-cultivating dumbos. I knew we shouldn’t have reversed and approached them. It’s no use telling them how to purchase a ticket, they won’t do it anyway, so it’s just wasting our time. Let’s go, we have a true candidate to search.”
“That’s right, let’s hurry. The two losers were more obedient. They were weak though, and they did it the long, stupid way. Hopefully, the real candidate would be a powerful and smart guy.”
The two ghosts who were abusing the arcane realm’s power said as they sauntered back into the cab.
After they had left, the door to the cab immediately closed.
The old steam train began to move slowly, quietly, as it continued on its track…
This time, it did not stop and return. As soon as it arrived at a curve in the valley, it disappeared into thin air as if it had never appeared.
Fang Ning urged, “Sir, you have to chase after it… You have to destroy this evil train so that the world wouldn’t be corrupted by it.”
The view had been terrifying. If he had not hidden himself early on, he would have had several nights of nightmares.
How could things that can cause restless sleep to Fang Ning continue to exist?
He believed that his sentiments could be shared by most people.
The System refused, “If I could, I would have, you don’t have to remind me… The train is weird. I can sense that it is indestructible, and so are the ghosts.”
Fang Ning only felt an indescribable headache. ‘Who says the System is invincible?’
The Azure Mountain arcane realm gave rise to many arrogant people, but no one had ever died because of them.
Although the people of the Azure Mountain looked at regular, weak people with disdain, they would not exchange those lives for power.
That was why the Spectral Train and the two ghosts could not be spared.
Not everyone was like the System, bound by the principles and could ignore the impulses of gaining land and longevity…
He believed that being the master of an arcane realm and having long lives was enough to sway people. Not only ten thousand people, some would even take millions to gain that perk…
Fang Ning could not think of any ideas. Because of his laziness, he had always given it to other people to worry about.
This time, however, he really tried his hardest and still could not think of an idea.
Vigilante A then distributed the job of staking it out to Qiao Zijiang, Bodhisattva Spirit King, Tianjing Fawang, as well as his followers.
The people then waited in the valley as reinforcements arrived.
…
The other people did not continue to wait, the world does not revolve around one person.
