"So, in this cauldron fight, my Ghost King clan will have a total of more than 20 people participating, five of whom are from the Ghost King clan, and the rest are from the eighteenth floor. In my branch of the City of Death, Li Han is the leader—"
In the inner hall of the Ghost King clan, Sun Bing, an elder of a branch with a pockmarked face, spoke with some pride.
When mentioning "Li Han", he couldn't help but look to the left in the hall.
The young man was wearing a dark blue robe, and his angular face was still pale.
The sharpness can be seen from the eyes.
This is Li Han, the strongest ghost cultivator in the Ghost King clan’s Wrongful Death City lineage.
only…
At this moment, Li Han seemed to have not heard what he had just said at all, but was looking straight at the sky outside the hall. His eyes seemed to fall on somewhere in the void, and no one knew what he was looking at.
Sun Bing frowned and immediately asked, "Li Han, is there anything wrong?"
There were many people standing in the hall, some old and some young. They seemed to be the other people from the City of the Dead who were participating in the fight for the tripod.
At this moment, following Sun Bang's words, everyone turned their eyes to the young man in the front.
Fu Chaosheng, also known as "Li Han" at this moment, also heard it.
My eyes were fixed on the dim and vast sky outside, and it was difficult to take them away for a long time...
That feeling just now...
It's amazing.
It was as if something had suddenly broken the taboo of the Extreme Realm and suddenly descended somewhere in the City of the Dead...
But he is hard to tell.
The two eyes of the universe were on him, but now that everyone was watching, he was unable to take them out and check them.
Now we are in the polar region.
His own strength was affected by the Mayfly's body, changing from weak to strong and then weak again between morning and night. This was not the peak of his strength...
King Qin Guang was born in the Jiyu Realm, which is the place created by heaven and earth. He should not act rashly now.
A cold feeling of displeasure slowly crept up on me.
Fu Chaosheng finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Sun Bang who was sitting in the hall. There was no fear or dread, only a kind of contemptuous calmness.
"Replying to the elder, there is nothing wrong."
"snort."
Sun Bang snorted, naturally seeing through Li Han's attitude.
Li Han, relying on his outstanding talent, looks down on others.
When he gets into the fight, he will have something to worry about!
Cursing in his heart, Sun Bang still maintained the dignity of an elder on his face: "Lord Cui has confirmed the list. There are only ten days left before the cauldron competition. You should seize the last time to practice and don't lose face for my Ghost King clan. Disperse!"
"Yes, Elder."
Several ghost cultivators from the Ghost King Clan who were summoned all bowed and responded, then dispersed.
Fu Chaosheng also mixed in with the crowd, walked out of the inner hall and came under the eaves.
At this moment, no one has discovered his identity.
He took advantage of the opportunity when the little bookworms were causing chaos in the world and causing scholars to die in vain, and quietly entered the Polar Region when the ghosts of the dead were being recruited in the most chaotic way.
Originally, he didn't alarm anyone, but he accidentally ran into the chief judge Sha Hanzhi under the command of Jiang Chang, the king of the Seventh Palace, and almost got into trouble, so he had to kill him to silence him.
Afterwards, he entered the City of the Dead, watched the massacre on the eighteenth floor from afar, and chose Li Han.
Li Han, a cultivator from the Ghost King clan.
He is extremely talented, but has a perverse and cold temper. He has no friends or confidants, but has offended many people.
Such a person, even if his/her heart is suddenly replaced by someone else, others will not be able to notice it.
Therefore, when this person came out from the eighteenth floor and was about to return to the Ghost King Clan, Fu Chaosheng killed him on the street, took over his identity, and infiltrated the Ghost King Clan.
He wanted to see for himself what the Yin and Yang world looked like.
But at this moment, standing under the eaves, he raised his head and looked into the distance: in a certain house, there was a faint aura that made people fear.
A light flashed in the pair of deep blue eyes belonging to "Li Han".
Fu Chaosheng turned his wrist, which was contained in his sleeves, and found two grayish-white fish eyes between his fingers.
He wants to see...
What is the origin of this existence that was cracked
"Boom..."
There was a faint rumble of thunder in the sky.
The sky in the polar region suddenly became unpredictable with wind and clouds.
The pedestrians on the road were chatting and laughing as if they were used to it: the autumn and winter here are always like this, except that it never rains.
Therefore, they did not need to take shelter from the rain. Some were walking, some were shouting.
Cui Jue and Zhang Tang finally arrived at the house that had been closed for more than seventy days.
They should have arrived earlier, but they unexpectedly met the elder of the Fish Gill Clan on the way, and talked about some things about this year's competition, which delayed them for a while.
Two stone lions squatted lifelessly on both sides of the gate.
Cui Jue stopped, holding the list of Ding Zheng in his hand, looked up, and sighed, "I hope her cultivation has not yet made a breakthrough."
Then, he looked back and said to Zhang Tang, "Master Zhang is familiar with her, so please come and knock on the door."
Zhang Tang was also looking at the gate of the house. He nodded when he heard what was said and walked towards the gate.
The two doors were closed tightly, and the gap between them seemed narrow.
The shadow of a tangerine tree can be vaguely seen in the courtyard.
However, with the formation protecting the house, the rest cannot be seen clearly.
The protective formation was activated dozens of days ago, and all sounds from the outside world will be blocked out.
Therefore, Jianchou, who was in the house, could hear nothing.
Except for the rustling sound of the wind.
Her eyes were fixed on the window paper.
"Kill Xie Buchen, cut off seven points of his soul..."
The rustling sound of the characters being written had completely disappeared.
The sky was not bright.
Jianchou's heart was already in turmoil, with huge waves and raging storms!
Kill Xie Buchen
Cut off seven parts of the soul
Xie Buchen, she was very familiar with him.
After the battle at Qingfeng Temple, she mobilized a human platform, causing billions of stars to fall, and finally took away the Human Emperor Sword with one blow.
At this moment, the message actually said "Kill Xie if he disobeys you."
Does this mean that Xie Buchen is dead or not
Little by little, a chill condensed from the bottom of Jianchou's eyes.
She stood in front of the withered window, in front of the three plum branches, her icy gaze piercing through and falling on the two lines of words.
The person who left the message must be the one who had previously attacked her with the thing that looked very much like a ruler, interrupting her from lighting incense.
Jianchou didn’t know what would happen after “burning a stick of eucalyptus incense”, but she also didn’t understand the eight words that appeared before her.
Seven souls...
What is the seven-part soul
She was already tired of hearing the three words "Xie Buchen", and she didn't feel that strongly at this moment. But these three words "Qifenpo" were fresh to a strange degree.
soul.
Whose seven-point “soul” is it, or is it the name of something
What's the purpose of cutting off seven parts of the soul
This person left this message here. Is it a warning, a prophecy, or an instruction
Jianchou's five fingers slowly tightened, and the surface of the Human Emperor Sword was ink-black. It seemed to have no luster, but it had a sense of eternity and length.
The water marks on the window paper showed signs of slowly fading away under the gentle breeze.
She couldn't figure out this person's background from the clumsy handwriting.
The only thing that can be judged is that if this person is not a child, he must be in an extremely weak or even exhausted state.
Every stroke was trembling, as if it took all his strength to write.
But…
This is inconsistent with all previous signs.
The "hidden weapon" that broke through the window and attacked her, the might that penetrated directly into the ground, the vague power that was revealed, it was as if there was some taboo between heaven and earth that prevented her from spying on this person's existence...
Maybe there was indeed someone standing in front of the window, but she just couldn't see it with her current ability.
Jianchou thought about it again and again, and the doubt about "cutting off seven parts of the soul" was still lingering in his mind.
She no longer saw any movement in the window paper. The knuckles of her five fingers holding the sword were slightly white, showing her fear and vigilance at the moment.
Silently.
Jianchou endured the strong uneasiness and took a step forward...
"boom!"
At that moment, it seemed as if a storm exploded in the entire house!
Something happened?!
Jianchou subconsciously thought that it was her own move that triggered something, and she was about to draw her sword and chop out the window. However, the next moment, she narrowed her eyes and noticed the situation in the courtyard.
The sky in the polar regions is always dim.
At this moment, it was as if someone suddenly threw a stone into the smooth lake, causing ripples.
—That is the formation used by Jianchou to protect his house!
The two tangerine trees in the courtyard began to shake violently because of the sudden "ripples"!
The wind blew the leaves down, some flew to the ground and some flew into the air.
A familiar voice came from beyond the ripples, clear and peaceful.
"Daoyou Jianchou, Lord Cui Jue wants to visit you for something."
This sound...
Zhang Tang?!
When she heard the first word, Jianchou had already made a judgment in her heart. However, the second half of the sentence made her feel a chill down her spine!
Cui Jue!
Cui Jue, the chief judge sent to the Reception Office by King Qin Guang of the First Hall, to investigate the matter of the ghost axe breaking through the world!
Zhang Tang brought him here?!
At that moment, Jianchou subconsciously pointed directly in front of him!
"Bang!"
A burst of deep white soul power shot out from the fingertips and touched the two windows.
The tightly closed window closed immediately, and at the same time, a small hidden formation appeared, covering the snow-white window paper!
The writing on the window paper seemed to have never appeared.
Jianchou's heart was pounding and he was almost suffocated by these series of changes.
Only after she saw the formation take effect did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief. With her free mind, she finally had time to think about the situation she was facing...
Because the control token of the courtyard formation has been recognized as the owner by the spirit, Jianchou can clearly feel the threat the formation is facing at the moment even without seeing it with his eyes.
When she was in seclusion, she completely opened the formation, and nothing in the outside world could affect her.
But when the attack reaches a certain level, the formation will still have certain flaws, such as the ripples at this moment.
The current situation is that someone is outside and knocking on the door forcefully.
And just now…
The person who spoke was Zhang Tang!
The reason why Jianchou was able to enter the City of the Dead safely was because of this man’s kindness.
Since then, they can be said to be grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If one of them dies, the other will probably be implicated as well. There is no way for either of them to get away unscathed.
Zhang Tang was not a foolish person.
Even if someone from the Reception Office asked her about such a small matter, he would make a special trip to inform her.
If something life-threatening had happened, how could this once ruthless official not find a chance to inform her first, no matter how difficult it was
Therefore, at this moment, even though he brought Cui Jue with him, the matter should not have been exposed.
His mind was racing, and Jianchou figured it all out in a moment.
But that was Cui Jue after all. The scene in which the terrifying thoughts covered the entire Wrongful Death City and almost suffocated her was still vivid in her mind.
Jianchou couldn't feel relieved no matter what.
The person is right outside the door, and I have no choice but to go out to greet him.
Jianchou took a deep breath, temporarily put aside all the doubts about this mansion from his mind, suppressed his uneasiness, and walked out of the study door.
"Rustle."
The moment she took a step forward and walked under the eaves, the sound that had appeared twice before came from the house again!
Seeing that there was sorrow in his steps, they immediately froze!
She placed her hands on the two small silver rings on the door and was about to close the door, but at this moment, she could hardly move when she heard the extremely subtle and frightening sound.
From fingertips to heart, it's cold.
After a while, the rustling sound disappeared.
Jianchou turned her head to look at the two withered windows. They were covered by the formation and intact. Even she couldn't see clearly whether there were any more words.
Zhang Tang and Cui Jue were just outside the door. Even if she had a huge burden, she didn't dare to go and see them at this moment.
I’m afraid…
It is better to deal with the current trouble first and then come back to check.
"Bang."
With a decisive pull, Jianchou closed the two doors of the study completely, isolating the inside and the outside. Then he made a hand gesture and temporarily removed the protective formation of the entire house.
"Boom..."
The sound of rumbling thunder in the sky spread throughout the courtyard in an instant.
Jianchou looked up and saw a rolling black and yellow cloud above his head, which was changing constantly and seemed to foreshadow something.
Without the obstruction of the formation, the sounds from the long street also came in.
Even if Jianchou did not release his spiritual awareness, he could clearly sense that there were two people standing outside the door, one familiar and one stranger.
—The soul has been repaired and the perception has become sharper. Is this a good thing after all
She took a step, walked to the door calmly and opened it.
