The pale flesh rolled twice, and then flowed out of the white-faced woman's body like liquid.
The woman's body slowly withered as pus drained out.
The grayish-white pus that flowed out was running on the ground. Instead of approaching the yard, it began to flow around the yard.
Bai Yao frowned as she watched this scene, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.
But there's really nothing else we can do right now, so we can only wait in the yard.
Watching the pus trace arcs on the ground, slowly enveloping the entire yard and house.
At this point, the pale-faced woman's body had shriveled up and looked like a piece of paper.
"Something's not right," Pei Huan whispered from the side.
Bai Yao remained silent.
She definitely knew something was wrong, but there was nothing she could do about it.
We can't just rush out now and wipe away all this pus, can we?
As the pale-faced woman's deformed body collapsed to the ground, pus gathered into a circle.
The people in the courtyard were momentarily dazed.
When vision returned to normal, a gray-white sky came into view.
Or, it's not just a gray sky.
At this moment, every corner in sight is a grayish-white that evokes a sense of despair.
Pale, empty, and hopeless.
A corpse hangs on a gray, withered tree, and below the tree are birds with human arms, pecking at the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.
Not far away, the gray sun hung in the sky; its light was not warm, but only made people feel a bone-chilling cold.
The withered, pale-faced woman stumbled to her feet. She saw the bewildered gazes of the people in the courtyard and smiled, a somewhat sinister smile on her face.
"Welcome to the underworld ruled by Lady White Phoenix."
----
The girl in white paused slightly, looking at the scene before her with some confusion.
The place that should have been a yard was empty.
Fresh soil was exposed to the moonlight.
Bai Qian subconsciously looked around to make sure she hadn't gone the wrong way.
Home?
Volume 1: 97. Blocking the Door
Bai Qian was certain that she hadn't taken the wrong path.
After dealing with the demons outside the city, she walked back.
We weren't walking very fast; we were summarizing what we'd learned tonight along the way.
Tonight's haul...
Not big.
It could even be said that they lost money.
To be honest, killing all these delusional ghosts would be a bit of a loss.
The collected delusions are quite useful; they can be used as incense offerings, and they should have other uses afterward.
Bai Qian had vaguely figured out other uses for delusions, like the scene at the very end where the silhouette was holding the blood moon.
That blood moon wasn't real; like the silhouette, it was just an illusory projection.
But in the end, He made the blood moon a reality.
Or rather, it is a journey from the illusory to the real.
If one accumulates enough delusions, it should be possible to create a situation similar to that one.
Make the virtual real.
Bai Qian doesn't have this need now, but if her delusions really reach a certain number later...
Perhaps it's possible to directly bring [the Goddess of Calamity, Lady Willow] into this world.
It is not a power obtained simply by consuming a strange lifespan and incense offerings, but rather a power that truly allows Him to descend into this world.
Although Bai Qian didn't know what use this was, it was still something to look forward to, provided that there would be more delusions to collect later.
As for why I lost money, I collected a lot of delusions. Previously, I used delusions to replace incense offerings, so after removing the delusions that were consumed, I still had 613 strands of delusions left.
The problem is that it consumes not only delusions, but also bizarre lifespan.
It consumed nearly seventy years of its bizarre lifespan, but it was not replenished.
This is where Bai Qian felt she had lost out slightly.
More than the loss, she realized something else.
The power gained from the Mysterious Lifespan is somewhat like a castle in the air; it requires consuming Mysterious Lifespan to use, and upgrading it also requires Mysterious Lifespan.
What should be done if one day the strange lifespan is not enough?
Compared to bizarre lifespans, the power gained from utilizing the lifespan of demons might be more reliable. At least, the lack of bizarre lifespans wouldn't prevent one from taking action; the power gained would be real and tangible, and wouldn't disappear for any other reason.
However, the current problem is that there seems to be a slight bottleneck in martial arts techniques.
According to Bai Yao, martial arts require divine intervention at a higher level, or rather, divine assistance.
Bai Qian didn't like it very much.
Then we can only follow the two paths deduced on the panel: intention and energy.
On the way, Bai Qian pondered this matter and how to proceed.
He only stopped thinking after he realized his house was gone.
Holding a peach blossom branch in his hand, he stood in the clear moonlight, carefully examining the exposed soil.
The entire courtyard disappeared. Of course, besides the courtyard disappearing, a rather unsettling atmosphere remained.
That bird.
Bai Qian had some recollection of it.
So, it's that again?
She frowned and looked around for a moment.
Knowing that it's probably impossible to find anything.
Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, and Bai Qian twirled a strand of hair with her finger.
A glint of gold shone in his eyes.
They didn't find anything particularly useful, only that the disappearance of the courtyard was related to Lady Bai Feng.
Of course, knowing this information is enough.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Bai Qian carried the peach blossom branch and walked towards the center of Bai Feng City.

The Huang family is very lively tonight.
As instructed by the Baifeng Temple, the offerings for the upcoming worship of Baifeng Niangniang must be prepared tonight.
There are treacherous demons lurking outside, but even though they know that with Lady White Phoenix's protection, there's not much to worry about.
However, if Lady Bai Feng wants to come from the underworld of Bai Feng City to the real world, a sacrifice needs to be held at the Bai Feng Temple, so the sacrifice should be held as early as possible.
Huang Yi stood in the courtyard, watching the White Phoenix people carrying one woman after another into the courtyard, and then watching them walk into the dark room.
Huang Nan stood next to him.
“I think they should be able to gather all the offerings by tonight,” Huang Yi said.
Huang Nan did not refute what he heard.
"Almost, according to that old man, it should be done tonight," the middle-aged man said.
"How many people were arrested tonight?"
"Hundreds, maybe."
"all?"
“A woman who meets the criteria.” Huang Nan glanced at the moon in the sky.
"There are men too?"
"Yes, and it's also used as food for blood."
"Tsk." Huang Yi clicked his tongue.
"After tonight, our Bai Fengcheng will be severely weakened, and we don't know how many more people will have to leave."
"What's there to be afraid of? Once that person comes down, in this chaotic world, there will be plenty of people coming to our Baifeng City."
“A living god? There are hardly any in the county town.”
Huang Yi remained silent. Whether this was a strange occurrence or a divine intervention, no one could say for sure.
But he wouldn't say much, after all, the Huang family's development to this point was largely thanks to this Lady Bai Feng.
"I'll go outside and take a look," Huang Yi said.
"Go ahead," Huang Nan waved his hand.
Huang Yi walked out of the courtyard and watched as his thugs carried in all sorts of messy materials.
He knew that sacrifices required more than just blood offerings; other things were also needed. However, they had already begun collecting these things, and now all they had to do was move them over and take them down to the underworld.
After so much preparation, the descent of that being is practically a done deal.
We entered a courtyard.
There was a bloody smell in the yard, and blood was still flowing on the ground.
It wasn't for any other reason than that there were several shelves in the courtyard, and women were lying on the shelves.
They were still awake, lying on the shelf, their faces filled with terror.
Standing next to them was a strange man wearing a white phoenix mask.
Bai Fengren held a knife in his hand.
Because underground space is limited, some of the lower-quality offerings are processed on the ground, then placed in earthenware jars before being taken down.
Huang Yi watched as the Bai Feng people skillfully chopped off their limbs, then gouged out their eyes, burned their ears, and cut off their tongues.
They did struggle, but after a while, they stopped moving.
This is a technical skill. Huang Yi had tried it before, but failed and was in excruciating pain.
He stretched and stopped looking, deciding to go for a stroll in the city.
I heard that Bai Feng Temple sent a thug to capture the two sisters. I wonder how it went.
Many things will come to an end tonight. With the Huang family now under the protection of Lady Bai Feng, they can achieve even greater things in the future, which is something to look forward to.
With that thought in mind, he walked out of the yard and headed towards his front door.
For convenience, the Huang family's gate was left open, and Bai Fengren could come and go as he pleased without worrying about any security issues.
But Huang Yi looked towards the door.
He saw a figure in white gracefully approaching, carrying a strange peach blossom branch in her hand, her delicate and beautiful face illuminated by the moonlight as white as snow.
She stood at the doorway, her dark eyes quietly watching this side.
The gate was blocked.
