I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 99: Ambush by the Demon Sect, Overlapping Scenic Realms

Unbeknownst to them, the sky had already grown dim.

Unlike when they arrived, Left-foot Lane was now much quieter.

Yun Niang's gaze was dim, with rare signs of melancholy, as she reminisced about her parents.

Fu Ning didn't rush to comfort her. Anyone who experienced such a thing would need time to process it, especially someone as innocent as Yun Niang.

He silently followed behind her, pondering the origins of the whole incident.

According to Cheng An, Cheng Ping and Yun Niang's mother went out to sea together, but only Cheng Ping returned with Yun Niang in his arms.

And Cheng Ping had been clutching a comb tightly before he died, unable to let go.

This indicated that Yun Niang's mother might still be alive, and the key was the half of the comb.

The setting sun by the seaside was always accompanied by a rosy glow.

The shadows of the three of them stretched longer and longer on the ground.

Walking in the afterglow of the sunset, they left Left-foot Lane.

Ding ling ling~

A gust of wind blew by, causing a bell to ring somewhere.

"Closing time~"

At the intersection, several fishermen were packing up their fish stalls.

The smell of fish permeated the air along with the sea breeze, filling the entire street corner.

"Let's go back early."

Just as White Lotus Scenic Master and Yun Niang were about to quicken their pace, Fu Ning stopped them.

"What's wrong, Big Fish?"

The two looked at Fu Ning in confusion, while Fu Ning nervously stared at the people packing up their things at the street corner, recalling Zheng Datong's warning: Beware of those who tiptoe.

There were seven people at the fish stall in front of them. Some were pulling nets, some were wielding knives. They were bare-chested, with short pants, and their sunburned skin was red, indicating that they were people who dug for food in the sea.

They didn't seem any different from ordinary fishermen at first glance.

Even Yun Niang, who grew up by the seaside, couldn't tell that something was off. But the only thing was that they were all tiptoeing, as if the afterglow of the sunset was scorching hot.

Fu Ning used his spiritual vision and saw that the luck on top of these people's heads had all turned into lifeless energy.

This meant that the seven people in front of them were all dead.

"Huh!"

White Lotus Scenic Master finally noticed that something was wrong. Her figure moved, and her long sleeves swept forward, protecting Yun Niang and Fu Ning behind her.

"Demon Heart Sect, Corpse Slaves."

"Demon Heart Sect?!"

Fu Ning was also surprised. He didn't expect that they would encounter the Demon Sect so soon after leaving the mountain.

As expected, there were traces of the Demon Sect on Spirit Turtle Island, just as Luo Saihu had said.

This place was a must-pass road from Left-foot Lane to the Three Mountains, and they must have been ambushed here long ago.

"The Demon Heart Sect is skilled at using corpses as vessels, creating scenes within the realm of the dead."

"Only the smell of fish can cover up the stench of these corpses!"

White Lotus Scenic Master snorted coldly, no longer panicking at this moment.

"Rise above the mud without being stained!"

In the next moment, the illusion of the White Pond appeared under White Lotus Scenic Master's feet once again.

On top of the White Pond, a lotus bud suddenly emerged. The bud was extremely pure and holy, touching the center of the White Pond and creating ripples of white.

The ripples spread from far to near, instantly enveloping the entire street corner.

The rolling demonic energy rose, and black claws emerged from the ground, ready to grab their prey at any moment.

But at this moment, the ripples collided with the white ripples, causing the entire Inner Scenic Diagram to instantly collapse and disappear.

Each Scenic Palace corresponded to a realm.

The characteristics of the realm were inherent within it.

When two realms overlapped, it was like two small worlds colliding.

The characteristics of the realms themselves were the relationships of mutual generation and restraint. They could either enhance or suppress each other.

If we talk about Spirit Turtle Island, the one who has the most effective Inner Scenic Diagram against the Demon Sect is undoubtedly the White Lotus Scenic Master.

The White Pond scenery evolved by the White Lotus Scenic Master has the characteristic of "purification," specifically countering the demonic Origin Qi.

Therefore, when these two sceneries collide, the opponent's ambushed Inner Scenic Diagram instantly dissipates.

"What a pity, what a pity~"

"Just two steps away, and I could have gained three excellent corpse slaves."

The voice fluctuates in volume and distance, making it impossible to discern the opponent's true hiding place.

"I have long heard that the White Lotus Scenic Master counters our Demon Sect's scenery. Today, I see that it is indeed extraordinary."

As the voice falls, the seven people in the fish stall have already stopped their movements, as if waiting for new instructions.

At the same time, the wind at the street corner becomes much more noisy.

The White Lotus Scenic Master's gaze narrows slightly as she surveys her surroundings, but even she hasn't discovered the opponent's hiding place.

Just now, the smell of fish covered the scent of corpses, so she didn't detect any traces of the Demon Sect. If it weren't for Fu Ning's timely discovery of abnormalities, the three of them would likely have already stepped into the opponent's Inner Scenic Diagram.

"Do not step out of my scenery's range."

The White Lotus Scenic Master's demeanor is cold, her gaze even colder, and her voice is calm, without a hint of panic.

Just then, a voice comes.

"What path does death take, entrusted to the same mountain."

Clearly, the other party does not intend to give up. As the voice falls, a new Inner Scenic Diagram manifests once again.

The seven fish stall workers, who were originally tiptoeing, finally shed their mortal appearances and green corpse Qi begins to seep from their bodies.

Ding ling ling~

The bell rings chaotically.

The worker holding a knife is the first to charge forward.

The knife is just an ordinary fish-cutting knife, but the green corpse Qi wrapped around it is not ordinary.

His speed is extremely fast, and in an instant of his toes touching the ground, he has already jumped into the White Lotus Scenic Master's scenery range.

But as soon as he touches the ripples, his body seems to freeze in the water, instantly immobilized.

Clang~

The knife in his hand falls uncontrollably to the ground, and then he tilts his head back, limbs spread open, black Qi continuously pouring out from his facial features.

And this is the effect of "purification."

Corpse slaves have no consciousness; they are only controlled through a medium.

Ding ling ling~

Undoubtedly, the inexplicable ringing of the bell is the medium controlling the corpse slaves.

Fu Ning summons Jade Rabbit, whose long ears can perceive subtle movements in the surroundings.

But even so, he still can't find the opponent's hiding place.

And as the bell rings, the remaining few corpse slaves also refuse to be lonely, suddenly spreading a large net and descending from the sky.

"Do not let the corpse Qi on the corpse slaves contaminate you."

The White Lotus Scenic Master multitasks, maintaining the Inner Scenic Diagram while also reminding the other two to be cautious.

Yun Niang summons her own "White Jade Pool" Scenic Palace.

Although the range of the "White Jade Pool" scenery is small, when overlapped with the White Lotus Scenic Master's "White Pond" scenery, a sparkling and translucent lotus leaf suddenly appears within the scenery's range.

Even the white ripples in the water have become stronger.

Her scenery's characteristic is "weak water."

Weak water: The weak water of the Milky Way, floating in the Heavenly World Star Sea, untouched by the mortal world for generations, capable of cleansing all negative states.

It should be considered an upgraded version of "purification."

As for Fu Ning, he does not summon his own scenery but instead uses the "Spirit Turtle Unarmored Palm" to respond.

After this period of training, his palm strength has become much stronger. Now, with a single palm strike, his palm strength can penetrate more than ten feet in the air.

Before the corpse slaves can approach, they are already repelled by his palm strength.

Ding ling ling~

Another round of bell ringing.
