Chapter 912: Chapter 912 [The Face That Appeared Out of Thin Air]
We’ve basically passed through the jungle, and a towering mountain range looms ahead.
The strangest thing is that we can’t see the sun here; the ancient trees block out the sky, but it’s not truly dark yet—we can still see.
This terrifying gloom feels like entering a cetery at midnight,
with a lurking atmosphere, eerie wails and screeches in the ears, making it feel like you’ve stepped into Hell.
From a distance, the entire mountain is shrouded in a layer of black mist, as if a fierce demon is lurking there, waiting with its mouth agape for soone to enter.
“The woods ahead are intriguing! What kind of mountain is this? And there’s more than one pair of eyes watching us!” Asura chuckled.
“Phoenix?”
Ye Chenfeng’s attention was on Phoenix. As soon as she called out, she awoke, but then vomited a mouthful of black blood.
“Phoenix?”
This ti Ye Chenfeng was truly anxious. He hurriedly checked Phoenix’s condition, but even he couldn’t see anything.
“I’ve long heard of the renowned reputation of the Nanyang Soul Hiding family. I ca today because I have sothing to ask for your help!” Ye Chenfeng shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a strange sound appeared, and not far from Ye Chenfeng and Asura, a face appeared in midair.
But it quickly disappeared! The speed was as if nothing had happened.
However, Ye Chenfeng and Asura did see it—it was a hideous and terrifying ghostly face.
Their eyes t, and a thought flashed through their minds: What kind of mystic arts could conjure a face out of thin air?
Even Ye Chenfeng and Asura felt unsettled seeing this bizarre scene; how much more for ordinary people, who would likely faint from fright upon witnessing it.
This isn’t a Halloween ghost ga; it’s a real appearance of a face.
“Hahaha…”
A chilling, piercing laughter ca from the mountain, shaking the eardrums of Ye Chenfeng and the others.
“Follow !”
Suddenly, a few people appeared beside Ye Chenfeng and the others, speaking in a sinister and terrifying voice.
The speaker was dressed in a black beast-skin outfit, exposing half of his muscular, bronze-colored body. His face seed to protrude outward with an intimidating aura, especially his large eyes, which could scare soone to tears. His hair was bizarrely styled, with half shaved off and a small braid left at the end. The decorations on the braid were chilling—the body of the Buddha, but made of skulls, making one’s hair stand on end.
Beside him were two monks in robes that drew Ye Chenfeng’s attention. Despite being disciples bathed in the holy light of Buddhism, they exuded a sinister aura, especially their zombie-like faces filled with murderous intent!
Ye Chenfeng had a vague feeling that the Soul Hiding family was not simple, as they sohow had ties to Buddhism.
“People from Buddhism?” Ye Chenfeng murmured.
“Divine King?”
Ye Chenfeng heard a breathy whisper in his ear—it was Phoenix speaking.
“What is it?” Ye Chenfeng asked softly.
“I ant to tell you, but I fell asleep earlier. The Soul Hiding family indeed has so connection with Buddhism, or rather, their ancestors were originally from Buddhism. It’s said that the Soul Hiding family used to be under the command of Thailand’s Four Great Saint Kings Ghost King, but later faced oppression and ended up here,” Phoenix said.
“Four Great Saint Kings Ghost King?”
Ye Chenfeng thought the na sounded imposing.
Phoenix nodded, whispering: “The Ghost King also worships Buddhism but follows an extre path, opposing orthodox Buddhism. They believe everyone should go to Hell, and ghosts, humans, and even Buddha are only different states; everything else is the sa, with no distinction. They even believe humans and Buddha are sinful entities deserving annihilation, so the Ghost King’s path is one of proving the way through killing.”
“What about the other three kings?” Ye Chenfeng asked.
“The other three are the Buddha King, Snake King, and Peacock King of Wisdom! Snake King and Peacock King of Wisdom are together, advocating orthodox Buddhism. They’ve fought the Ghost King for many ages, back and forth, but even two against one, the Ghost King survived, proving the power is imnse! It’s said the Ghost King was oppressed and had no place to hide, so ca here, regarded as the precursor to the Soul Hiding family. However, settling here may also have other reasons,” Phoenix explained patiently, her breath much improved.
Ye Chenfeng was montarily stunned and said, “Then I have a question; what exactly is the Buddha King? From the na, he should be the strongest. Shouldn’t he have destroyed the Ghost King himself?”
Phoenix shook her head: “I don’t know either, after all, these things are legend; whether they’re true, no one knows.”
Ye Chenfeng’s expression changed slightly, and he also smiled: “One last question, given that the Soul Hiding family has transcended worldly affairs, why do they still develop worldly industries?”
“Isn’t it for survival? A large number of followers, the expenses of the congregation, etc. The Soul Hiding family isn’t gods—they need money too!”
“Oh! I see!”
Ye Chenfeng nodded.
Unexpectedly, the Soul Hiding family has such a history, actually tied to Thai Buddhism, truly unbelievable.
“Phoenix, hold on a little longer; once I et the head of the Soul Hiding family, you’ll be fine,” Ye Chenfeng comforted her.
Led by the three, Ye Chenfeng and the others quickly ca to the front of that terrifying mountain and entered it.
“Why are they all Buddhist temples?”
Upon entering, Ye Chenfeng and the others were stunned, because inside the mountain there was a hidden world—Buddhist temples established there.
The Buddhist temple, with magnificent pavilions, exquisite corridors, and towering high-rise towers, were either ingeniously crafted and exquisitely clear, or were stunningly golden and tall.
Upon entering the temple, even more amazent struck.
Inside were countless Buddha towers, dozens of them. Each was adorned with green, white, yellow, and dark blue tiles, towering grandly and impressively.
But unlike normal Buddhist temples, these towers were hung with skull relics and even displayed skull heads.
Despite the nurous Buddha towers, Ye Chenfeng and the others felt not a hint of Buddha Energy, but instead, an eerie atmosphere as if they’d arrived in Hell.
The three in front suddenly halted, and Ye Chenfeng hurriedly said, “We’re here to find…”
“We know you’re here, don’t speak—just follow,”
The person gave Ye Chenfeng an unsatisfied glance, and the three made peculiar gestures in front of the largest Buddha tower, like praying but with an eerie look.
“Please follow us!”
The three led the way into the Buddha tower.
