Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 910: Chapter 701: Speculations About White Clothes

White Clothes!

Upon hearing this name-like reference, Lin Feng’s entire body tensed up, his blood turning cold, but it quickly began to boil. It was an uncontrollable excitement.

Lin Feng slightly clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with killing intent, the sharp murderous aura causing the space around to tremble. Vivid memories of brutal and bloody scenes flashed rapidly through his mind.

Those were memories etched deep into his bones.

So vivid because they had never been forgotten.

For the past five years, whenever the night grew quiet, Lin Feng would often be startled awake by these gruesome images.

Lin Feng had tried to find White Clothes, but there was no trace of him, either in reality or online, not even the slightest clue.

As if this person never existed at all.

Lin Feng did not expect that as soon as he arrived at the Pure Land, there would be a clue about White Clothes.

An unexpected lead delivered right to him.

This time, it might even be possible to locate him directly.

”Why does Wang Mian know about White Clothes?”

”If he knows White Clothes, could he also know the secret of my rebirth?”

”With my current strength, even if the rebirth secret is exposed, it won’t matter too much. The key is the presence of the Nightmare; does he know about it too?”

”Apparently, it doesn’t matter much. Even if he knows about the Nightmare, he definitely won’t guess it’s a transformation of the Demigod.”

”Since he’s asked me directly, it implies he has no malice towards me, at least not for now.”

”What does this Wang Mian want to do?”

”Did he come to the Pure Land to become an Apostle of the Dream Celestial King because of me?”

”How does he know about my grudge with White Clothes?”

”Does he also have a vendetta against White Clothes? Wants to team up with me to deal with White Clothes?”

Thoughts flashed through Lin Feng’s mind rapidly, and finally, his gaze fell on those black and purple eyes.

Heterochromia!

Lin Feng suddenly remembered that White Clothes’ eyes were also heterochromic.

One black and one gray.

Not light gray, but a darker shade of gray, the difference not discernible from afar, only up close could it be distinguished.

Originally, Lin Feng didn’t connect the two because globally, having such heterochromia isn’t extremely rare, mainly caused by heterochromia iridum.

However, since Wang Mian knows White Clothes, and both have heterochromia, it definitely isn’t a simple coincidence.

”You seem to have guessed something?”

Wang Mian noticed Lin Feng staring at his eyes and knew the other had picked up on something.

”Such strong killing intent?”

Wang Mian’s gaze slightly concentrated, feeling an extremely dangerous aura from Lin Feng at this moment.

However, this also confirmed his suspicion.

White Clothes indeed had a grudge with Lin Feng!

Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t exude such intense killing intent.

A trace of confusion flashed through Wang Mian’s eyes.

He has Hua Country lineage and lived there long-term, but he didn’t reside in Jiang City or Guanglin.

He had never met Lin Feng nor had any opportunities to intersect with him. What exactly did White Clothes do while he was dormant?

Why do Lin Feng and White Clothes both want to kill each other?

Wang Mian couldn’t figure it out.

However, that question was no longer important now.

He already got the answer he wanted.

”Who exactly are you?”

Lin Feng stared at Wang Mian, speaking each word carefully, a gray flash crossing his eyes, silently releasing the lock soul skill, a sign he might act at any moment.

Wang Mian knew he was already locked. He could feel a spiritual mark near his chest, close to his heart.

This lock soul skill has no offensive power; he can detect it but cannot dispel it in the short term.

”I am Wang Mian, and White Clothes is my second personality.”

Wang Mian spoke openly since he needed Lin Feng’s help, holding nothing back.

”Second personality?!”

Lin Feng was taken aback; this was not the answer he had expected.

How did it involve a mental disorder?

”Second personality, Yin-Yang Puppet.”

After the initial shock, Lin Feng quickly understood.

On the Exotic Beast Chart, the Yin-Yang Puppet ranks fourth; how could he have not heard of it?

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Puppet ranks even above the Nightmare.

But the chart only describes the Yin-Yang Puppet as granting its refiner a second personality and insomnia ability without much additional detail.

There’s no record of refiners possessing heterochromia.

This is why Lin Feng didn’t guess earlier.

Wang Mian then explained his current situation to Lin Feng and his purpose for coming to the Pure Land.

Lin Feng remained silent and expressionless, though his mind was far from calm.

In Wang Mian’s narration, Lin Feng’s long-buried doubts slowly unravel.

Back then, the culprit behind the massacre was the White Clothes persona.

When he approached White Clothes with a sword, the White Clothes persona was briefly suppressed by the main consciousness, allowing him to easily kill the opponent.

Using the ability of White Clothes, both he and White Clothes returned to the past.

And the person who refined the Yin Yang Puppet was not Wang Mian, but another person.

And this person is very likely... Ye Qiu!!!

In Jiang City, besides Yun Kai, no one’s talent can compare to Ye Qiu.

And Yun Kai, without his help, could not possibly awaken the Ancestral Demonization.

Ye Qiu once refined the Nightmare, gaining a demon fiend’s potential, but in the late-period, he discovered the aftereffects of Nightmare assimilation and possessed his own consciousness and intelligence, even trying to seize his body.

Ye Qiu couldn’t alleviate the Nightmare’s assimilation.

He began searching for ways to solve the Nightmare, just like Lin Feng’s current situation.

Ye Qiu’s solution was to refine the Yin Yang Puppet, attempting to use the second persona to counterbalance the Nightmare.

Lin Feng connects all known clues and possible situations, the more he thinks, the more he is convinced of his guess.

This is the most probable guess.

And now, Ye Qiu hasn’t refined the Nightmare, so there’s no threat of assimilation, and naturally, there’s no need to refine the Yin Yang Puppet.

Therefore, the Yin Yang Puppet was refined by Wang Mian.

”The one who rebirthed with me is not Ye Qiu, but the Yin Yang Puppet.”

”Both Ye Qiu and Wang Mian’s second persona like to wear white robes, does this mean that no matter who refines the Yin Yang Puppet, the resulting second persona will always be the White Clothes persona!”

”Could it be possible that the Yin Yang Puppet is an existence similar to the Nightmare?”

Lin Feng harbors a terrifying guess.

His situation is very similar to Wang Mian’s, and the Nightmare and Yin Yang Puppet are also alike.

But on further thought, Lin Feng feels this possibility is not significant.

The demigods of the Divine Martial Continent are few and far between, unwilling to fall, thus seeking various ways to revive.

The Nightmare uses the secret technique [Soul Shedding Spirit Formation] to transform its soul into a demon spirit.

According to Bai Mei, this is an extremely perilous secret method, its danger surpassing the one he chose, even much more dangerously so.

Bai Mei was very surprised at the Nightmare’s success.

From this, it can be inferred that the success rate of such a secret skill is quite low.

Moreover, Wang Mian does not suffer from assimilation woes, his consciousness and White Clothes persona appear alternately, at this stage, neither can fully occupy the body.

If White Clothes and Nightmare both performed the [Soul Shedding Spirit Formation] secret skill, they wouldn’t have such drastic differences.

But why did White Clothes massacre a city back then, was it due to a twisted personality or the real perpetrator was the Nightmare?

Lin Feng cannot judge this.

And why does White Clothes possess the ability to control time?

Was this the ability absorbed by the Nightmare?

With the Nightmare’s power, this is possible.

There are still many unknown mysteries.

What Lin Feng can be sure of is Wang Mian doesn’t know about his own and White Clothes’ matters.

Wang Mian only knows from observing daily clues of the White Clothes persona, some scant traces, that White Clothes is very interested in him, might even want to kill him.

This also means Wang Mian doesn’t know White Clothes has time control powers.

Or rather, such time control ability, has not been acquired yet.

”Do you want to seize the body of the Witch Celestial King?”

Lin Feng’s gaze refocuses on Wang Mian.

His surprised tone is almost identical to that of the Dream Celestial King.

Born with the Sea of Dual Souls, a unique talent in the world, rarer than Ancestral Demonization.

Besides the Witch Celestial King, Lin Feng has never heard of anyone else possessing such a talent.

Born with the Sea of Dual Souls, yet a Dual Emperor Powerhouse, the Witch Celestial King’s prowess is indubitable.

And Wang Mian wants to seize the body of the Witch Celestial King!

”Can seizing the Witch Celestial King kill the White Clothes persona then?”

Lin Feng asked, his words tinged with skepticism.

Can the Sea of Dual Souls resolve White Clothes? If it can, then can it resolve the Nightmare’s assimilation?

In some sense, Nightmare and White Clothes are very similar, both aim to seize the refiner’s body.

”Yes.”

Wang Mian gave an affirmative answer, yet didn’t explain further, apparently unwilling to let Lin Feng know too much.

”Why should I help you?” Lin Feng asked.

”Don’t you want to kill White Clothes?” Wang Mian countered.

Lin Feng slightly smirked, his smile cold: ”Simply killing you would be easier, wouldn’t it?”

As the words fell, a swarm of Dragon Fish already flew around.

In Lin Feng’s view, solving the problem is less straightforward than just resolving the person who caused it.

Killing Wang Mian means the second persona White Clothes will naturally vanish as well.
