085 The Power of the Dharma Heaven Realm
As autumn deepens, the setting sun grows ever redder.
As dusk fell and a cool breeze blew, Ning Kui sat in the pavilion, watching his young mistress and Yun Mengling play chess.
The young lady's chess skills were average, but Yun Mengling played very cautiously, and the two fought back and forth, with the young lady winning by a narrow margin most of the time.
"No wonder the young lady likes Miss Yun so much; she's so sensible."
As for Xia Chan, she was diligently practicing her kung fu in the distance, punching and kicking with great effort.
If you're not in the right position, you'll get hit by Ning Kui's long-range projectiles and pebbles, which will tingle and numb your acupoints, making you feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
The sound of the gate opening was quite urgent.
"I'll go open the door!" Xia Chan hurriedly ran over. After practicing her skills all afternoon, all she wanted now was to escape the clutches of the evil spirit.
"Ning Kui, you brat, where are you? Such a big thing happened and you haven't shown up!"
As soon as he entered, Yan Daoren, who was half a foot shorter than a cicada, began shouting anxiously.
"Lord Yan, what's the matter that you're so alarmed?"
"Hey, you're pretty laid-back."
Seeing that Zhao Wanyu and Yun Mengling were also there, Yan Daoren lowered his voice: "Let's go to the study to talk."
While he was making tea, his anxious mood gradually calmed down.
He asked tentatively, "You've been staying home the whole time?"
Ning Kui deliberately feigned a suspicious look: "What exactly happened? I did hear a commotion this afternoon, but I was worried about my family's safety, so I didn't go out to join the fun."
"Sigh, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Yan Daoren slumped back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Except for the grooms and cooks who stayed behind, the entire delegation sent by His Majesty was wiped out."
...Now even these menial servants are packing their things and returning to the capital.
I wonder what they'll say about me when they get back."
He felt mentally exhausted. After arriving in Yugu County, he felt constantly pushed forward by some force.
This completely contradicts his idea of waging a protracted war.
Now he has offended Cai Shendu to the point of no return, and his career path has suddenly become narrow and difficult.
"That's good. Those beasts deserved to die anyway." Ning Kui showed a slight surprise before nodding in approval.
Seeing this, Yan Daoren felt even more exhausted.
Ning Kui, who has never pursued a career in government, has no idea of his difficulties.
"Well, actually there's another important thing."
Lin Wenlong seized the [Heavenly Origin Pill], which contained the essence of a powerful demon at the Dharma Heaven Realm, making it extremely precious.
"After eating it, the Ghost Mother will probably break through to the Dharma Heaven Realm soon."
As Yan Daoren spoke, his expression became somewhat dazed.
A powerful being in the Dharma Heaven Realm is someone who can carve out a prefecture, establish a temple, and be called a god.
Just like the Black Mountain God Lord of Black Mountain City, under his absolute power, the so-called government had long been a mere shell of its former self.
As long as it doesn't openly rebel, the imperial court will turn a blind eye.
"After the Ghost Mother enters the Dharma Heaven Realm, her Nine Netherworld Fertility Goddess Temple can enjoy the incense offerings of the people."
Every statue erected by the people can bear the imprint of their divine status.
If you want to kill her again, besides killing her in person, you must also destroy all the statues that have been cast.
You should know how difficult this is.
Ning Kui naturally understood that the so-called Elephant Realm was nothing more than confining a piece of land for one's own use, and then using one's own Dao principles to invade the domain.
No matter how strong they are, they can only reign supreme in their own small territory.
The Dharma Heaven Realm, however, is far more terrifying.
Once the evil spirits have perfected their Dao within the Forbidden Ruins and advanced to the Dharma Heaven Realm, it marks the first step in their outward expansion.
These great evil spirits no longer bow to the Great Dao; instead, they demand that this world revere their Great Dao.
As the name suggests, the term "following the heavens" means that they establish rules for the heavenly order above them within their own domain.
Wherever a temple is located, the roads of others must submit to it.
In fact, it is impossible for anyone else to break the suppression and advance to the Dharma Heaven Realm within their territory, except for those who allow it.
This is especially true in remote areas.
There is no other way to overthrow their rule except by seeking outside help.
"Since you know how troublesome the Ghost Mother is after she enters the Dharma Heaven Realm, then..."
If you're going to take action, you'd better do it sooner rather than later.
Yan Daoren stammered out his most important goal: to get Ning Kui to get rid of the Ghost Mother as soon as possible.
"Me? Eliminate the Demon Mother?"
Ning Kui pointed to himself: "I'm merely at the Blood Refining Realm, what merit do I possess?"
"But what about the Pig God and the Dragon King...?"
Ning Kui raised his hand to stop Yan Daoren from continuing, "Lord Yan, I almost died trying to eliminate these two evil spirits."
Leaving aside the incident with the pig god, you played a significant role in severely injuring him.
But I ask you, why were you nowhere to be seen when I was fighting the nine Origin Realm water beasts at Kunze Lake?
I want him to step up when something happens.
His stepmother was almost bullied, and Yan Daoren was still worried about this person's powerful background and fearful of that person's high status.
Although Ning Kui was still grateful for his help, he still felt uneasy.
To put it bluntly, it's a case of unequal contributions.
Regardless of Ning Kui's own confidence in the battle against the Ghost Mother, to outsiders it seemed like a certain death.
Then what gives you the audacity to send me to my death?
Have you shown me the sincerity to entrust my affairs after my death?
No.
Therefore, we need to pay extra.
Touched on a sore spot, Yan Daoren was speechless. Although he had been held back by Eunuch Huang that day, in the end, it was still because he was not resolute enough.
For a moment, the study fell into a silent stillness.
Only the "plop plop" sound of the teapot boiling and the lid being lifted seemed to remind Ning Kui that the tea was ready.
"Lord Yan, you can't be stingy and only want to reap the benefits."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Yan abruptly raised his head: "You brat, how dare you mock this old man?"
When the truth was revealed, Yan Daoren understood Ning Kui's intentions perfectly.
He felt both annoyed and inexplicably relieved.
As long as Ning Kui still wants to push forward the "Evil Exorcism Order," what's wrong with killing him?
He was already willing to do his best to help.
And this time, there will be absolutely no holding back.
"Hmph, what do you see in me? Just tell me, and I'll give you whatever you want!"
It wasn't until Ning Kui's gaze swept over him several times that Yan Daodao realized he had spoken too confidently.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm only talking about material things, don't do anything reckless!"
--------
The Lin family's Ghost Mother, who had wiped out all the external enemies, returned to her house.
A hint of weariness appeared on her face. Yan Daoren's thunderous power still lingered in her body, like a maggot clinging to a bone, difficult to eradicate.
Lin Wenlong and Lin Qimo took turns massaging her, and the way the father and son were vying for her attention made the ghost mother very happy.
"Alright, alright, husband, please rest more these next few days. Let Mo'er keep me company."
The "Japanese Demon Mark" I planted inside him isn't fully mature yet; I'll try to ripen it as much as possible recently.
After saying that, she giggled and slipped into the room in Lin Qimo's arms.
Lin Wenlong stood still, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, his nails digging deep into his flesh without him even realizing it.
"You...you bitch!"
Driven by insane jealousy, Lin Wenlong couldn't help but muster the courage to hurl a curse at the Ghost Mother.
This was the first time in forty years that he had insulted the "ghost mother."
Even in my mind, I still felt a dizzying sensation as if my head had been struck by some mysterious force.
The insubordination and violation of faith brought him an indescribable pleasure that distorted his expression and made his facial muscles tremble.
"Ugh, you bitch! You bitch! You bitch!"
"I want you dead!"
