Upon realizing he was being toyed with, the pig-headed man instead of getting angry, his previously reddened gaze returned to clarity. He started moving around Li Zhiyuan, waving his hands constantly.

One of his gloves had been blown off earlier by a crossbow arrow, revealing a reddish pig hoof that seemed somewhat comical as it waved.

Quickly, within the white fog, came the sound of beastly cries.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

"Moo~ Moo~ Moo~"

Li Zhiyuan's gaze tightened, activating his spirit-walking.

On the left, a red ape was beating its chest.

On the right, a greenish ox was pawing at its hooves.

Both the ape and the ox had a black mark on their heads, evidently controlled.

Soon, the ape and the ox charged at the boy simultaneously.

The boy spread open his left hand, and an aura inherited from ancient Fengdu rippled out.

Four ghosts lifted the sedan chair.

The frenzied ape and ox, as soon as they charged halfway, were each suppressed, the ape bent forward, and the ox lowered its hooves, unable to advance further.

However, their threat was not the greatest, because the pig drove them just to distract and confine him.

The pig, shrouded in black Evil Qi, lunged at Li Zhiyuan.

The other two attacked with soul bodies, this pig attacked in reality.

Li Zhiyuan lifted his bandaged right hand; due to the simple bandaging, some blood was already seeping through.

He smeared the blood across both sides of his face, leaving two blood-red streaks.

Then he closed his eyes, silently chanting the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra" in his heart.

As the pig-headed man rushed in, thinking he could succeed this time, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, devoid of other emotions, only supreme authority!

Invoke the spirit — invite General Sun to descend!

The pig-headed man opened his mouth in fear, quickly retreating.

Perhaps it didn't know the name of the official, but it could sense that the aura emanating from the boy was undoubtedly a formidable presence, descending in a form that could only be described as perfect terror!

Backing away, the pig-headed man was even more shocked to discover that the ape and ox, originally controlled by itself, now seemed inclined to break free from its grasp.

Li Zhiyuan was trying, using the method from Wei Zhengdao's black book, to control the ape and ox.

But from the pig-headed man's perspective, this came from the "official" Ghost King's divine might, forcing the two creatures to reluctantly switch sides.

The pig-headed man quickly waved the pig's hoof, causing the ape and ox to vanish.

The boy was not too disappointed in his heart, knowing the opponent would never permit him to "steal" under their nose.

Li Zhiyuan started stepping, taking the Three-step Praise.

Lin Shuyou often paced in front of him with this gait, and it would be strange if Li Zhiyuan couldn't remember or learn it.

Still, Li Zhiyuan only walked in a circle on the spot before standing again where he originally stood.

Merely staring at the pig-headed man with a majestic gaze, not initiating an attack.

Because Li Zhiyuan couldn't summon the god.

He knew early on that he had difficulty summoning gods.

Now, as back when he scared Lin Shuyou on the school field, he was merely an empty facade.

Yet this "facade" was crafted so realistically that it was nearly perfect, resembling the aura of General Sun's descent.

Even the White Crane Child that night couldn't tell the difference, mistaking it for a real ally's presence.

The pig indeed got bluffed.

To appear more genuine, Li Zhiyuan intentionally adjusted his aura, rapidly ascending to a peak from the initial invocation, and now declining in strength.

Thoughtfully timing it for the pig, allowing it to estimate when his invocation would end.

This way, even if it doubts why he doesn't attack, it would still safely choose to wait until his time ends.

The pig-headed man stood still, also ready to dive into the white fog to hide at any moment.

Time flowed by, second by second.

...

The fog covered most of the view.

On the second floor of the photo studio, a group of white centipedes was quietly using their antennae to dig into the Defensive Array here.

They were extremely cautious, not alerting the array setters.

Moreover, this work had evidently started long ago; when the fog first arose, they began working under its cover.

Finally, a small gap appeared.

One white centipede crawled through it, landing on the second-floor windowsill, then slipping through the window gap, entering it.

The centipede saw Deng Chen sitting in front of a blue curtain, his entire body tightly bound by special net ropes.

Deng Chen should have also seen this white centipede on the ground, and he began to struggle in terror, a wisp of black qi emanating from him.

This was the aura of the black python, representing the eyes!

...

Outside, facing the "General Sun" state of Li Zhiyuan, the pig-headed man's damaged pig mouth twitched slightly.

Thinking to himself:

Black python, he hasn't killed you, nor has he attacked you, but clearly, he doesn't trust you either.

Heh, you all, really, haven't you taken a good look at what you are? Even if you do good deeds and accumulate merits, do you genuinely believe these supposedly righteous guys will accept and accommodate you?

It's better for the five of us, let me lead, merge back together into one; only then will there be a chance to stop hiding like sewer rats, to truly live like... a human.

The pig-headed man blinked once, issuing a command.
