The relationship between Xiao Mou and Lian Zhao has never been good.
Lian Zhao is domineering and arrogant most of the time. She only pays attention to those she likes, and most of the people she likes are strong or in a high position. When Xiao Moucai joined the clan, he was just an ordinary ghost cultivator. He always looked pale because of tuberculosis, and he was eccentric and unsociable. He was not very popular in the Wuchang clan, so how could he get a good look from Lian Zhao
I'm afraid I've been bullied many times, openly or secretly.
It was not until later that he gradually gained the attention of the elders of the tribe with his natural talent in cultivation, and became a rising star of the Wuchang tribe, gradually getting rid of his original predicament.
But his temperament doesn't seem to have changed at all.
He looked like someone who was used to being bullied by Lianzhao, and he looked submissive. He didn't even show any sign of competing with Lianzhao or feeling proud. It was really infuriating to see him.
Now that we have the pass tokens, it is time to leave the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
But on the way out, Xueyin felt very suffocated.
She recalled the charming and seductive look of Lian Zhao when she came back just now, and the sneer that could pierce straight into people's hearts. Her whole face turned completely cold, and she was completely unable to control her gloomy and jealous gaze.
How sensitive is Jianchou who is walking in front
The moment his gaze fell on her, she felt it clearly and said "I'm sorry" in her heart, but she turned her head away in a very annoying manner and glanced at Xue Yin casually.
There was no need for words; the contempt and ridicule were clearly conveyed.
Yukine was shaking with anger.
Jianchou took a look at her and ignored her.
Lian Zhao, a female cultivator from the Wu Chang clan, is usually considered a sworn enemy of Xue Yin in the clan. This is because the other party joined the clan earlier and has a higher level of cultivation, so people always compare her with themselves.
Over time, even if there is no grudge, you will develop some hatred.
Moreover, Lian Zhao was an arrogant person by nature, and was very familiar with bullying others by taking advantage of her power. Not to mention that the other party also had ill intentions towards her, so it was always right to take the opportunity to mock and bully him.
Judging from Jianchou's true nature, she would not do such a thing. She is more like flowing water, more like a mountain, no matter how others mock or ridicule her, her true nature remains unmoved. But she is Lianzhao after all, so some things are done and done.
She felt no guilt and was very calm.
As for Xiao Mou, transformed by Qu Zhengfeng, he was naturally eccentric and taciturn, so he basically didn't need to say anything, as "Lian Zhao" had arranged everything meticulously, and there wasn't a single flaw.
There were no setbacks along the way.
After leaving the Eighteen Levels of Hell, it is not far from the City of Wrongful Death.
The entire Eighteen Layers of Hell is very large, and the main part is underground in the Extreme Region. Naturally, there is more than one exit, corresponding to many places in the Seventy-Two Cities of the Extreme Region. The ghost soldiers recruited now have to rush to the battlefield of Ghost Gate immediately, so it is not surprising that they chose the exit outside the Wrongful Death City.
An elder of the Wuchang tribe has been waiting here for a long time.
His face was full of wrinkles, his eyebrows were white, but his pupils were a deep dark silver. He was a master who had cultivated to the Golden Body realm, which was equivalent to the Out-of-Body realm in the Nineteenth Continent.
Seeing Lian Zhao and the others coming out at this time, he was already a little impatient: "We should have arrived an hour ago, why did it take so long? What were you doing?"
"Aren't we all waiting for Junior Sister Lian Zhao? We were just going to check out the Shi Tian Creation Array, but who would have thought that we would be gone for an entire hour and have to keep all of us waiting."
Of course Xue Yin would not miss such a great opportunity to seduce herself.
What's more, what she said now was the truth, and everyone saw it in public. Lian Zhao couldn't deny it no matter what.
The elder's surname was Kong, and his name was Kong Yin. He was a very dignified person in the Wuchang Clan. Upon hearing this, his brows immediately frowned and he looked at Jianchou: "Lian Zhao, is what Xueyin said true?"
Of course it is true.
After all, these two ghost cultivators were unlucky enough to be captured by Qu Zhengfeng halfway through.
But at the moment he obviously doesn't dare to tell the truth.
Jianchou had already figured out Lianzhao's personality and style thoroughly.
At that moment, he was neither panicked nor flustered.
The tip of her gorgeous eyebrow was slightly raised, showing a hint of charm. She first glanced at Xue Yin who was stirring up trouble, and then turned her sparkling eyes to the silent "Xiao Mou" beside her. With a bit of publicity and obvious malice, she said in a lazy voice: "What Senior Sister Xue Yin said is of course true, but Elder Kong is wise. I know that the matter of recruiting ghost soldiers is of great importance, so how dare I delay it easily? It's just that Junior Brother Xiao was unwell on the way, and I couldn't just turn a blind eye and force my way forward, right? So I stopped to take care of him and heal Junior Brother Xiao, which delayed me."
Feeling unwell…
Stop caring...
Healing through exercise...
Every word and every phrase was perfectly normal, but when it came out of the infamous Lian Zhao's mouth, it was simply unbearable to hear!
Everyone knew that she had always disliked Xiao Mou. She had bullied him, teased him, and mocked him. She had never shown him any kindness, but had always shown him as much malice as she could.
Reason tells everyone—
It is obvious that Lian Zhao is using these words to humiliate Xiao Mou, and at the same time letting Xiao Mou take the blame for her. She is truly as vicious as a snake and very evil.
But when it comes to feeling, it’s another matter entirely.
No one can control the thoughts running through their mind.
Just looking at the look in Lianzhao's eyes when she looks at people sideways can make one's heart itchy. It makes people feel that she seems to be looking at oneself, but also seems to not care about oneself at all. The more uncertain one is, the more one's heart is shaken and it is difficult to let go.
It's not just that the worse the man, the more women love him.
Sometimes, the worse a woman is, the more difficult it is for a man to extricate himself.
Lian Zhao is the best among the "bad women". Her every move is full of seduction and temptation.
Everyone's eyes followed hers and fell on "Xiao Mou".
Seeing him standing aside with a pale face and looking lonely, and then seeing him looking up at Lian Zhao who was glancing at him as if she was sure that he would have to admit his loss, a bit of depression emerged in his eyes, and even the hands hanging by his side were clenched.
It is clearly an attitude of being angry but not daring to speak out.
Everyone thought he would say something.
However, Lian Zhao slightly raised her snow-white, pointed chin and looked at him with a more malicious gaze. Her attitude was obviously even more arrogant than before, and there was even a hint of a half-smile in her expression.
So "Xiao Mou" didn't say anything in the end.
Elder Kong Yin frowned and asked him, "Is what Lian Zhao said true?"
"Xiao Mou" lowered his head, his eyes lowered, and replied in a low voice: "Xiao Mou had a problem with his training. Thanks to Senior Sister Lian Zhao's rescue, he was saved from the danger of regression. This delay is really not Senior Sister Lian Zhao's fault."
"… "
This development was completely beyond Xue Yin's expectations. The moment she heard "Xiao Mou"'s answer, she was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
It would be fine if Xiao Mou did not normally resist Lian Zhao, after all, they were just trivial matters. But in such a big event, why did he take the initiative to take the blame for Lian Zhao
middle…
Did something happen that she didn't know about
After hearing Xiao Mou's answer, everyone started talking about it, and there was an indescribable ambiguity and understanding in their eyes when they looked at him.
As for male cultivators, how many of them can resist the temptation of beautiful women
The ghost cultivators in the Extreme Domain are completely different from the cultivators in the Nineteen Continents who advocate purity of mind and few desires. They have seen this kind of thing too many times.
Looking at Xiao Mou's expression, it was easy to guess that something inhumane must have happened along the way. However, based on his past relationship with Lian Zhao, it was unlikely that he would provoke Lian Zhao. It was most likely that Lian Zhao had deliberately provoked him.
Sometimes, Lian Zhao is just for fun.
She was first-rate in teasing men. Although Xiao Mou had many conflicts with her, he was still a young man after all, and you could tell at a glance that he was not the kind of man who often rolled around with women. It was normal for him to lose control in front of a beauty like Lian Zhao.
So now, when Lian Zhao was obviously shirking the responsibility to him, although he was shocked and angry that this woman changed her expression faster than turning a page, he did not dare to refute.
After all, God knows what they did at that hour.
If I don't take the blame now, it would be extremely embarrassing if Lian Zhaozhen reveals something about it.
There was no need for the two to say anything. Everyone had already played out a big drama in their minds: facing the bad woman's fickle temper, being bullied but developing a little secret love from the humbleness, hating that she didn't belong to him alone, and sinking uncontrollably...
Perfect.
It makes sense and there is no flaw.
Even Elder Kong Yin couldn't help but look at Xiao Mou suspiciously, but in the end, he thought that time had been delayed for a while and could not be delayed any longer, so he did not dwell on the matter too much and only said: "This delay will be recorded here first, and we will deal with it after the matter is settled."
Of course Jianchou had no objection.
Qu Zhengfeng responded with a "yes", which completely put the blame on "Xiao Mou".
Xue Yin's eyes wandered between the two of them, still a little slow to react.
Elder Kong Yin had already let this matter pass. He then looked at the hundreds of ghost soldiers behind him and said, "Let's set off now and rush to the Ghost Gate Lookout!"
Ghost Gate Lookout Tower.
After hearing this, Jianchou's eyes flashed slightly.
As early as when Soul Search Lian Zhao learned where they were going to recruit ghost soldiers, he had already paid attention to this. To a certain extent, Qu Zhengfeng and she both felt that it was worth the risk to pretend to be Lian Zhao and Xiao Mou, just because of their destination!
The lookout tower controls the earth's power.
Once the watchtower is taken down by someone, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth of the Nineteen Continents will invade the Polar Regions on a large scale and occupy the area originally controlled by the watchtower.
Cultivators rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while ghost cultivators rely on the power of the earth.
There must be a battlefield to start a war. In the special war between Yin and Yang, the battlefield environment greatly limits the strength of both sides. Fighting on a battlefield filled with spiritual energy from heaven and earth, or fighting on a battlefield filled with Yin energy from the earth, will be two completely different situations.
The battle at Ghost Gate has been at a stalemate until now, with no winner or loser.
If they can do something with the lookout this time...
Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng both knew the seriousness of the situation and the key point of the battle between the Yin and Yang worlds. At this time, they still showed no flaws and followed Elder Kong Yin of the Wuchang clan towards the ghost gate.
At the same time, another group of people also headed towards the gates of hell.
However, Jianchou and his group were heading outward from the direction of the City of the Dead to find the Ghost Gate Lookout Tower, while this group of people were heading towards the inside of the Ghost Gate from outside the Ghost Gate.
It was less than ten miles away from the hideous Ghost Gate.
After all, Lu Xiangleng felt a little frightened and anxious.
She looked at Xie Buchen who was walking and gazing at the gates of hell. She felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the calm eyes of Kunwu, the favored son of heaven. But when she looked closely, nothing was there.
In the wilderness outside the pass, withered grass stretches to the sky.
There was a howling wind under the gloomy sky.
Lu Xiangleng originally came to Jiyu with her senior masters. After all, she was outstanding in alchemy and poison treatment, which could be quite useful. Today, she was chosen by Xie Buchen along with the rest of the people, and was ordered by Kunwu Hengxu Zhenren to go and investigate the observation tower.
Actually, Xie Buchen is the one in charge.
She shouldn't have asked too many questions about his decision.
However, the Ghost Gate was guarded by many ghost soldiers from the Extreme Realm. With her wisdom, she had no idea how he would lead them through the gate and spy on the lookout tower behind the gate.
As the distance was getting closer, she couldn't help herself. She frowned slightly and asked him hesitantly, "Xie Daoyou, the gate of hell is approaching. How can we get through?"
