Chapter 43 – Open the door, deliver the package


In an instant, Su He felt the entire eerie land’s power pressing down upon him.

The sensation of twisting and splitting traveled from the turtle shell to his innards. The power of the eerie land was not a divine ability or spell, but an indescribable, awkward law. It sought to assimilate him forcibly, to make him accept its rules and become an integral part of the eerie land.

A grating sound, like teeth on edge, emanated from the exterior, as if an iron basin was scraping against the bottom of a vat.

Su He looked up at the suspended Fengduo in mid-air.

Attacking the master in the guise of a servant, isn’t this considered insubordination?

The eerie land was a conglomeration of twisted rules. Even the owner of the eerie land had to abide by its rules. Su He didn’t believe that Fengduo’s insubordination wouldn’t backfire on him!

He saw a glove above Fengduo’s head, ceaselessly reaching out towards himself through the air. With each grab, Fengduo’s complexion grew paler, yet strands of essence were pulled from his body, writhing like maggots.

It was the law of the eerie land.

This glove was peculiar; it could grasp metaphysical and illusory existences, such as laws and spirit artifacts…

Su He liked it.

“Suppress!” Fengduo bellowed, pressing down with his hand, his true essence surging, activating the eerie land’s power to suppress everything below.

Even the twisted maggots he had pulled out were pressing down towards Su He.

The stone slabs beneath Su He collapsed with a thunderous crash, and the entire Turtle was pressed into a large pit.

Struggling to raise his head.

Fengduo bared his teeth, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Such a sudden assault of power would catch even a prince off guard, and they would fall prey to it in an instant! This Dragon Turtle, despite its high talent, had cultivated for far too short a time. It was only natural for it to be caught off guard by his surprise attack!

Using the eerie land to suppress and launch a sneak attack, to harvest its flesh and blood, and to expel it from Changyue Mansion. As long as the Dragon Turtle was driven out, whether it was to be killed or flayed on the western side of Changyue Mansion, it was up to him to decide.

These thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, too quick to form a complete plan. As the eerie land’s suppression took effect, Fengduo’s long spear was already thrusting out, aiming directly at Su He.

This strike, with all his might, was meant to achieve success in one blow!

The Dragon Turtle was unpredictable. If the strike failed, it might figure out a way to counter the eerie land, and then he would be drawn into a difficult battle, creating unnecessary trouble.

With all his might, the spear pierced through space, aiming for the bottom of the pit. But just as it was about to hit the Dragon Turtle, the Dragon Turtle, which had been struggling against the eerie land’s laws and trying to rise, suddenly looked up, a sharp gleam flashing in its eyes.

Fengduo inwardly cursed, wanting to retreat, but it was already too late.

The Dragon Turtle roared. Before the sound could emerge, a pure gold die had already been thrown, crashing into the spear tip as if the entire world had collided with it. The immense force shattered the spearhead and slammed into Fengduo.

A phantom armor appeared on Fengduo’s body, blocking most of the force, but he was still blasted away by the Mountain God Seal, his arms that held the spear completely shattered, blood spraying everywhere.

Fengduo’s face changed drastically!

The eerie land had not suppressed the Dragon Turtle!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and looking down, he saw the Dragon Turtle’s figure flash, already appearing above him, roaring with its mouth open, divine might sweeping out, turning his entire mind upside down, nearly shattering his consciousness.

Fengduo hurriedly gathered his consciousness, trying to send a message to his main body, but his expression suddenly changed. The message couldn’t get through; his connection with his main body was severed.

Looking at the Dragon Turtle again, he saw that it seemed to be surrounded by boundless light, keeping the eerie land’s laws at bay. It was the power of the Cave Mansion here.

The Dragon Turtle was the master of this place!

Fengduo’s face changed drastically.

But after the Dragon Turtle roared, it did not attack him again. Instead, it bit towards the glove above his head.

“No!” Fengduo’s face turned even paler.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a ripping sound. The Dragon Turtle, with brute force, directly tore the connection with the glove, forcibly pulling the glove away.

The backlash of the eerie land struck instantly.

Fengduo’s entire body twisted like a twisted dough. As a servant who had attacked his master, his actions were twisted, so naturally, he should be twisted as well.

But this twist wouldn’t take his life. Fengduo gritted his teeth, looking at Su He, blood seeping from between his lips.

“This time… I’ve lost! But I am just an avatar, there will always be a time when the main body confronts you!” The Dragon Turtle entered the Cave Mansion and happened to refine it, becoming the master. Otherwise, how could he have made a mistake?

Su He sneered: “Don’t worry, I’ll reunite you with your main body and avatar soon!”

But first, he had to deal with the eerie land!

Su He turned his head towards the direction of Lady Changyue and said solemnly, “Lady Changyue has been out of touch with the affairs of the mansion for a long time, and she has become unfamiliar with discerning people’s intentions. She personally chose a servant, yet he came to assassinate me. If he had succeeded, our family would have been destroyed.”

Su He spoke earnestly: “In today’s complex world, where people’s hearts are not as they used to be, Lady Changyue should no longer manage the affairs of the mansion. Just recite scriptures, pray to the gods, and seek the way to ensure the safety of your children, isn’t that good enough?”

With those words, Su He seized power, and Lady Changyue below gnashed her teeth and grimaced, looking mad.

The power of the eerie land pressing down on Su He grew stronger.

This was Su He stripping Lady Changyue of her power, and the eerie land directly resisted. Was it using Fengduo’s method to trigger the eerie land?

On the western side, Su Huanian, with one hand on the altar, turned the power of the Cave Mansion to resist the eerie land.

Su He sneered and looked at Fengduo: “With such impure thoughts, you still dream of being a servant in my mansion? From this moment on, you are expelled from Changyue Mansion, no longer a servant of my house!”

With a thought from Su He, a gust of wind and rain came, sweeping Fengduo directly to the west, through the curtain of rain, landing in front of Su Huanian.

Seeing an enemy, one’s eyes turn red with rage. The old dog barked a few times, viciously biting down, and then sat on Fengduo’s head with a plop.

Suppressing him with the spirit of an artifact.

You can’t beat the complete one, but you can’t suppress the beaten one?

By Su He’s side, the gathered power of the eerie land dispersed in an instant. But in the moment of gathering just now, a large area of territory had been snatched back by the old dog.

At this moment, the eerie land had shrunk by more than half.

Lady Changyue bowed her head, allowing the maids to lead her away, stumbling. Atop the rain-soaked mountain, a small courtyard had formed, resembling a Taoist temple.

The master’s reasonable request, the eerie land’s violation, could not defy its own laws.

“Sister!” Su He called out softly. A sword qi from the Fairy Sword slashed out, condensing into a small sword, with a drop of Fengduo’s avatar’s blood on the hilt, the sword tip pointing southeast.

“Be careful!” Su Huanian’s voice came through the Fairy Sword.

Su He nodded with a light laugh, stepped out of the gatehouse, and immediately vanished, his figure breaking through the air towards the southeast.

The eerie land couldn’t be erased immediately, and Fengduo might discover it. The avatar couldn’t be killed either. Although the connection between the avatar and the main body was severed, the death of the avatar would certainly not escape the main body’s notice.

Su He couldn’t let him escape.

Racing along without a word, following the direction of the small sword, Su He stopped above a mountain village. A hunter was bidding farewell to his elderly mother, shouldering his bow and arrows to go hunting in the mountains. Along the way, he greeted the villagers he met.

“Uncle San, hello!”

“Grandma Jiang, come sit at our house if you’re free, my old mother is alone at home. She might be scared!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take her out to chat as soon as the sun comes up.”

“Uncle San, I’m heading into the mountains. If anything happens at my mother’s place, please help out!”

“Sanwa, are you going into the mountains? Alone? What about Uncle Ya?”

“Uncle Ya went to the city!” The hunter waved his hand, passing by a child in open-crotch pants, and even flicked the little boy’s privates.

Causing the little boy to cry out loudly.

Is this an addiction to role-playing? This Fengduo actually has an identity in the village!

Taking a deep breath, Elder Qiao’s presence was in his family’s courtyard well, but the scholar’s scent was very faint, almost undetectable. At least two months had passed since he left.

And even two months ago, he only briefly stopped here and did not reside.

Su He opened his eyes and looked towards the well. The well was ordinary, but there was a formation hidden at the bottom of the well.

Su He had only glanced at the theory of formations and could only tell that this was a formation with self-destruction, communication, imprisonment, and other functions combined.

Su He couldn’t break the formation silently. All he knew was to smash it with a die, destroying both the formation and the ground.

However, not knowing how to break the formation didn’t mean he couldn’t save people.

A domain power with a Boundary Breaking Pearl fell into the well, and Su He dived after Fengduo.

Work had not yet started, and it was breakfast time. The men of each household were squatting at their doorsteps with bowls of food, eating while chatting across the air about the mountains. The village was bustling.

At that moment, a roar suddenly came from deep within the mountains, and a pure gold die fell from the sky, crashing into the mountains.

Then chains flew across the sky, and shouts and curses followed. After that, the villagers knew nothing else, as a blast of air swept over them, rendering them all unconscious.

Before they passed out, they only saw a huge, pitch-black turtle burst out of the well in Dong’s house, turning into a curtain of rain, blocking the blast from the mountains.

If it weren’t for This Turtle’s protection, the villagers would have perished when the roar came.

Su He launched a sneak attack, striking with divine might and the Mountain God Seal. In the instant Fengduo’s chains reached out, he had already launched successive attacks on him.

Instantly dazing Fengduo.

A chaotic blade fell from the sky, indiscriminately slashing, and with a snap, it severed the arm holding the chain, and the Mountain God Seal stamped on Fengduo’s forehead.

Suppress!

A smooth combination of moves.

Su He looked at Fengduo, having seen his avatar before, but this was the first time he had seen the main body without the strength of the avatar.

Or perhaps Fengduo had a special method, and only when the avatar and the main body merged would his true combat power be revealed? Like Feng Yiju?

Su He fell silent for a moment, then smiled. These things couldn’t be figured out by speculation. Fengduo was right in front of him, but Su He wouldn’t interrogate him. He wouldn’t force memories either, as retrospection only reflected when the person being viewed cooperated.

Within the Mountain Sea Mystic Realm, Su He’s consciousness avatar awoke and called out towards the clouds and thunder.

“Uncle Lei! Open the door, the escort cart has arrived!”

Qing Lei: “…”

In the real world, a spatial rift opened, and Qing Lei’s dragon head emerged, with a little turtle sprawled on top of it, sleeping soundly.

“What escort?” Uncle Lei’s voice rumbled like thunder.

Su He’s mind moved, and a water ball containing Fengduo flew towards Qing Lei: “Uncle Lei isn’t in Feng Huang Palace anymore?”

Through the spatial passage, one could see a vast ocean, magnificent and vast. Behind Qing Lei, there was also a giant egg, transparent, with the aura of the Ancestral Beast emanating from it.

Qing Lei had gone to the Dustless Sea, beside the Ancestral Beast.

“The fight is over, so naturally, I left. The Dustless Shield is still under investigation. If Feng Huang Palace can’t provide a satisfactory explanation in three months, we’ll go back and argue with them.” Qing Lei’s gaze swept over briefly, and Fengduo landed at his feet.

“A whelp from Feng Huang Palace?”

“Yes!” Su He nodded: “The Dustless Shield was shot from him and attacked me. Uncle Lei, help me check his memory, see where a scholar is? Also, help me check what the Evil Suppressing Palace of Changyue Mansion is and where it is? Also, he mentioned an undying body, Uncle Lei might want to investigate what it is. Perhaps it’s related to the Yuan Sovereign clan?”

Qing Lei smiled: “Quite a few questions, but the royal bloodline of Feng Huang Palace cannot be probed for memories. Forcing it will only lead to self-destruction. Let me apply some methods, and I’ll tell you the results.”

He pressed down on Fengduo with his paw, and the little turtle on his head floated up, flying towards Su He: “I’m lending you Ya Ya to take care of for a few days. I have some matters to deal with and will come back to pick her up later.”

After Qing Lei finished speaking, he swiped his paw over the spatial crack, smoothing out the space.

Su He blinked: “Take care of her for a few days? Lend?”
