Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 406 - 224: Mother of Hundred Demons_2

The third arrow pierced into the Great Four Happiness Mahjong Hall, went through the Green Robed Guest’s skull, and without losing any momentum, passed through the mahjong table and stabbed into the ground, prompting the hall’s patrons to cry out in shock,

"Someone’s dead! Someone’s dead!"

The target of the fourth arrow was the suited customer fetching water from the boiling water room.

He had just filled his container with water and was already walking out onto the street. His view was wide open, and he naturally felt the overwhelming momentum of the feathered arrow tearing through the air.

First, he summoned his Bone Needle, intending to collide with the Divine Arrow, and then in his heart, he shouted toward the Copper Coin Priest of the Yunluo Mountain Range, "Priest! I’ve been struck by the Divine Arrow..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Divine Arrow was already before him. Even after colliding with his Bone Needle, the arrow thrust forward with tremendous force and unwavering direction, penetrating directly through his forehead.

Four Divine Arrows,

meant four lives ended.

Zhou Xuan seamlessly traveled through the night to the corpses of the four individuals.

The four were on the brink of death; their wandering spirits merely poked their heads out of their bodies, showing no sign of leaving yet.

If they couldn’t leave their bodies on their own, Zhou Xuan would lend a hand. During his night roaming the previous night, Zhou Xuan discovered that while he couldn’t touch the physical world, he could deal with certain spiritual entities.

In terms of incense techniques, Zhou Xuan had to struggle bitterly against any one of the four individuals.

However, the four spirits lacked the power of incense. Against Zhou Xuan’s Night Wanderer Giant capturing them, they were utterly powerless to resist.

The Night Wanderer Giant gripped the spirits by their heads and violently ripped them out from their bodies.

Using this method, Zhou Xuan consecutively captured the four spirits before returning to the Zhou Family’s Jingyi Shop during his night roaming.

As Zhou Xuan’s foot left the scene, four Copper Coins appeared over the corpses of the four individuals. They aggressively cut through the bodies until they became piles of minced flesh, which the heated Copper Coins then incinerated.

"Still too late."

A weary, helpless voice emanated from within the Copper Coins.

...

As Zhou Xuan’s Divine Travel ended, he mentally shouted, "Well spirit, send the souls of these four people to the City God Taoist Temple. I need to interrogate them; move quickly."

Zhou Xuan had gained deep insight into the mysterious forces of Jing Country. He knew well—

The Three-headed Stone Buddha was currently enslaving the entire Ancient Tattoo Clan. It released tattooed evil ghosts to roam the human world, sowing formidable links. freёwebnoѵel.com

If it detected that any of these ancient clan ghosts were captured or had failed, it would swiftly kill them to prevent the secrets of the Tattoo Forbidden Land from being exposed.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan himself was linked to the ancient clan, carrying out his actions right under the clan’s watchful eyes.

This is what prompted Zhou Xuan to secretly connect with Xia Jin, creating an intricate web behind the scenes and rushing to capture the tattooed evil ghosts at great speed. Upon their capture, he immediately sent them into the Divine Revelation Secret Realm.

The Blood Well transformed into a hand coated in blood, emerging from Zhou Xuan’s body to pull the four spirits into the Divine Revelation Secret Realm.

Once the capture concluded, Zhou Xuan waved toward Xia Jin’s direction as a signal that the plan was complete.

"The tattooed clan members have been caught, the Legend of the Hundred Spirits has been found, and the Ancient Tattoo Clan’s three-hundred-year plan is now largely understood by me. The small hidden webs the clan wove to ensnare me have now all been destroyed."

Since coming to Mingjiang Prefecture, this was the first time Zhou Xuan felt so utterly relieved.

Zhou Xuan did not immediately hurry to interrogate the souls of the Ancient Tattoo Clan. After all, they were locked firmly within the Divine Revelation Secret Realm—there was no way they could escape.

For now, he had a different priority: to play his cards openly with the Three-headed Stone Buddha, the force behind the clan.

"The game has changed; I am now the hunter, and you are the prey."

...

In Mingjiang Prefecture, within the Yunluo Mountain Range, at the sacrificial site.

At the sacrificial site stood a Human Skin Temple, adorned with Zhou Xuan’s visage.

The Ancient Tattoo Clan relied on this Human Skin Temple to forcibly link to Zhou Xuan and monitor his every move.

Around the Human Skin Temple, there were no other clan members present—only the Copper Coin Priest, along with the entity residing within his body known as "Wuxiang Prison."

The Copper Coin Priest’s expression was of immense frustration. He sighed toward Wuxiang Prison, "Who would’ve thought? As soon as Zhou Xuan grasped the art of Night Roaming, his first move was to target the clan members on East Market Street."

"He acted too swiftly! My Copper Coins didn’t even have time to unleash and destroy the Shi Family’s four brothers’ Divine Souls."

"Ancestor, the secrets of our Forbidden Land are at risk of being revealed."

Wuxiang Prison was naturally seething with fury. He had witnessed Zhou Xuan draw his bow and position arrows, as well as Zhou Xuan slipping a folded piece of paper under the green onion bowl in Sister Cui’s shop.

Yet, he couldn’t figure out Zhou Xuan’s intentions.

Now, understanding Zhou Xuan’s use of that paper as a tool to coordinate plans was too late.

"Ancestor, if all else fails, shall I infiltrate Mingjiang Prefecture City and kill Zhou Xuan?"

The Copper Coin Priest knew that to kill Zhou Xuan, it would be crucial to wait until his three incense offerings were complete. Without these offerings, Zhou Xuan, as a blood-flesh vessel, would lack the necessary refinement.

The baby-like figure of Wuxiang Prison nestled in the Copper Coin Priest’s chest and abdomen in deep thought. He realized—

Zhou Xuan had already entirely freed himself from the Ancient Tattoo Clan’s control.

Amid his contemplation,

The "Zhou Xuan" face on the Human Skin Temple moved and emitted sound.

"Hundred-Eyed High Priest of the Ancient Tattoo Clan, you’ve been linking to me for such a long time—now it’s time for me to lay down my cards."

"Listen well: You were originally the Tattoo Tree Clan, but now you’re enslaved by the Three-headed Stone Buddha."

"That very Stone Buddha is your current faith—Netherworld Stone."

"Four hundred years ago, the Netherworld Stone appeared in Jing Country and awakened the tattoo curses in your Tree Clan, leading to your own devastation."

Zhou Xuan was well aware he was linked by the Ancient Clan. Whatever he said upstairs in his shop would be heard by the clan.

The reason he addressed the clan’s "Hundred-Eyed High Priest" by this name was simply because of what Si Yuer had told him in the past.

At this point, the Copper Coin Priest listened in utter confusion—"We’re enslaved?"
