"This time, you all have to be alert. You can't get away with your lazy appearance in the tribe."
"By then, not only our Wuchang tribe will appear, but also the Ghost King Riyou and other tribes."
"If you are reprimanded by Lord Yama because of your mistakes, and you bring shame to our Wuchang tribe, you will not have a good ending after the war is over and we return to our tribe!"
On the way to the Guimenguan base, Elder Kong Yin didn't say much. When he saw that the journey was halfway through, he suddenly remembered that the relationship between the three juniors, Lian Zhao, Xiao Mou, and Xue Yin, didn't seem to be very good, so he had to take the trouble to point out some of their problems.
Xue Yin naturally agreed on the surface, but sneered in her heart.
She wouldn't feel like these words were directed at her.
After all, it is obvious who among the people of the Wuchang clan is most likely to make mistakes.
But the person who should think this way doesn't think this way.
Jianchou had been pretending to be Lianzhao all the way, and now she was quite familiar with the act. After hearing this, she just lowered her head and smiled gently, without concealing her charm at all.
He actually said to Elder Kong Yin: "Please rest assured, Elder, Lian Zhao will definitely control them well during this trip and prevent them from getting into trouble."
"… "
Elder Kong Yin choked and was speechless for a moment.
He looked at the female cultivator who had no self-awareness at all with a complicated expression, opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it.
Xiao Mou, pretended by Qu Zhengfeng, is a man of few words and aloof in temperament. It is normal for him to remain silent, especially when Lian Zhao is present.
So he remained silent.
But Jianchou didn't do that. Not only that, he even asked Kong Yin, who was already silent, as if nothing had happened: "But Elder Kong just mentioned Lord Yan. Lianzhao only knew earlier that the battle at Ghost Gate was supervised by Lord Cui Jue, the chief judge of His Royal Highness Prince Qin Guang. Has it been replaced now?"
"Just changed."
Kong Yin also found out about this not long ago, and when Lian Zhao asked him about it, his expression became much more serious.
"Just now, news came from the watchtower that Prince Chujiang has arrived. An accident happened in the Snow Region, and the original layout was destroyed. His Royal Highness Prince Chujiang just followed the order of His Royal Highness Prince Qin Guang and temporarily came to guard the Ghost Gate. It seems that he will have to fight with those ignorant monks from the Nineteen Continents."
The third hall of the Eight Directions Yama Hall, King Chujiang!
When Jianchouxian heard Kong Yin mention the word "Yan Jun", he just asked out of sensitivity and caution. He never thought that it was really Yan Jun who came to take charge of the battlefield!
My heart suddenly became awed.
She and Qu Zhengfeng, who was walking on the other side, looked at each other calmly, and they both obviously felt that the situation was becoming difficult.
Having said that, it is generally not appropriate to ask further questions.
Firstly, it is the business of superiors and they should not ask about it. Secondly, after asking, people will inevitably notice that the questioner is overly curious and will inevitably doubt his or her motives.
But if they don't ask, they will be the ones who will be passive in the future.
Fortunately, the current situation is not a "normal" situation, and the "Lian Zhao" that Jianchou is pretending to be is definitely not an "ordinary" person, so it cannot be considered as "normal".
Her eyes turned and she moved closer to Kong Yin.
Although he was a little disappointed with his current attitude, he put on a sinister and thoughtful look on his face, and asked Kong Yin directly about the situation of King Chujiang without any concealment.
Xue Yin was walking behind them, and listening to that sinister and bewitching voice, she felt annoyed, but secretly sneered.
How could she not see Lian Zhao's intention
She has always been a mean person who flatters the powerful and flatters the powerful. When she heard that Prince Chujiang was coming, she couldn't wait to get close to him. I'm afraid she is already thinking about how to climb into his bed.
Xue Yin thought so, and others were no exception.
The same goes for Elder Kong Yin.
He also didn't like Lian Zhao's behavior, but he really had to explain this matter to them, so he didn't care too much about it and told them some important matters related to King Chujiang in detail.
The first thing is cultivation.
Being able to own a Yama Palace in Bafang City and become one of the only eight Yama Lords, he enjoys a very high status in the Extreme Domain. Of course, he is very capable. During the Yin-Yang Realm War eleven generations ago, King Chujiang was already a great power in the middle stage of Return to Void, but he was injured in the battle and some of his strength was damaged. After more than six hundred years of recuperation, even if he has not fully recovered, it should not have a big impact.
The second is status.
Among the eight kings of hell, except for King Qin Guang who was born in the void of the Jiyu Territory, the other seven were promoted from ghost cultivators, and most of them were ranked according to their contributions in the first Yin-Yang World War. Originally, King Song was ranked second, only after King Qin Guang, but he was modest and claimed that he was not as good as King Chu Jiang, so King Chu Jiang was ranked second and King Song was ranked third. In other words, in the Jiyu Territory now, at least on the surface, King Chu Jiang's status is second only to the supreme King Qin Guang.
Finally, it is temperament.
It is said that there is nothing particularly outstanding about him. At least compared with the different temperaments of the other Yama Lords, the temperament of the King of Chujiang seems mediocre. During the more than 600 years of his reign, he seemed to have done nothing but failed to achieve anything. However, some people speculated that he actually had a rather violent temperament, but he seemed to be on good terms with the Emperor of Song and was usually comforted by him. Moreover, because his strength was reduced eleven years ago, he had to keep a low profile.
"In short, be careful when you get to the Ghost Gate Lookout Tower, and don't go against the Lord of Hell's wishes. You are just subordinates doing your job, and no one will target you if you don't make any mistakes. Just don't seek death on your own."
Elder Kong Yin walked forward with his staff, introducing the situation of King Chujiang and summarizing it like this.
Obviously, the last sentence was still said to Lian Zhao.
Jianchou had already roughly known the information he needed. When he learned about the general cultivation level of King Chujiang, he felt relieved. He immediately gave Elder Kong Yin a favor and said with a smile, "Thank you for your advice, Elder. We will be more careful."
Xue Yin sneered when she heard this.
Elder Kong Yin saw that she understood the rules, so he didn't say anything else.
The group continued to move forward.
Elder Kong was in the lead, with Jianchou and others in the lead, followed by a group of strange-looking ghost cultivators. At first glance, they looked a dark and ferocious mass.
The Wrongful Death City was not very far from the Ghost Gate, and if they flew by air, they could reach it quickly. But now was an extraordinary period of war, and they were afraid that the Nineteen Continents would find out that they had reinforcements, so they all ran close to the ground. Their speed was naturally not comparable to flying by flying, but it would not take more than a few hours to reach their destination.
The journey was soon halfway through.
But I didn’t expect that the closer we got to the gates of hell, the darker the sky became.
At first, they only saw a hint of shadows, as if there were a lot of dark air currents wandering in the air. No one thought much about it. Elder Kong Yin pointed at the air currents and explained to them, "These are all the Yin energy extracted from the ground, all because of the watchtower. Most of the ghost soldiers responsible for combat are stationed behind the Ghost Gate, but the watchtower dare not be set up there, and the location must be more secret. When we saw that the sky was getting dark, we must have entered the coverage area of the watchtower."
But Jianchou felt something was wrong.
She was disguised as Lian Zhao, but her actual cultivation level was a whole realm higher than Kong Yin's, not to mention that there was also Qu Zhengfeng, who had an even higher cultivation level, next to her.
One of them had been to the Extreme Region and had a very deep understanding of the earth's power and Yin Hua that the ghost cultivators in the Extreme Region relied on for cultivation. The other possessed the Hou Tu Seal, a treasure that could change the world, and could easily perceive the movements beneath the ground.
The two of them almost simultaneously noticed that there was something wrong with the air flow in the sky.
It looked like the Earth Power Yin Hua, and it did feel very similar at first glance. How majestic would the Earth Power Yin Hua be that could darken the entire sky? Even if the Ghost Gate Lookout could really extract such an astonishing amount of Earth Power Yin Hua from such a barren land, it should never have reached such a dense level that covered the sky and the sun when it was still so far away from the Lookout!
There is definitely a problem!
They both became alert at the same time, but because they were pretending to be Lian Zhao and Xiao Mou and had no idea what exactly had happened, they showed an insight that surpassed that of Kong Yin, the elder of the Wuchang clan.
So, I just tensed my body and moved forward.
After walking for more than a mile, the sky, which was originally gloomy, had completely turned into a pitch-black night!
It's like pouring a basin of thick ink in the sky!
The running clouds turned dark, the whistling wind turned gloomy, and even the barren land that was supposed to be endless became gloomy in an instant!
Stretch out your hand, and you can't see your fingers!
Kong Yin vaguely sensed something was wrong as he walked along, and at this sudden moment he felt a chill on his neck!
Anyone who fails to notice the change is a fool!
His face was filled with horror, and he suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Enemy attack!!! Enemy attack—"
But this reaction was already too late.
He had already led this team into a deep trap, and they only realized it now. It is difficult to extricate themselves!
Almost at the same time as he shouted the warning, strange changes occurred around him!
The thousands of gloomy black clouds wandering in the sky swooped down like ghosts and crashed into the formation of hundreds of ghost soldiers of the Wuchang clan!
Every black cloud contains amazing power of thunder and lightning!
Caught off guard, screams rang out everywhere!
The small piece of land they occupied in the wilderness had become a place of thunder and lightning! There was a horror and terror of electric snakes dancing wildly!
The sudden change happened in an instant. Even those with high cultivation levels like Kong Yin and Xue Yin were in such a mess that they had no time to look around. Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng were well prepared and pretended to fall into the trap without any flaws. However, when they felt the power of the black cloud and lightning, they frowned in shock!
They are all monks from the Nineteen Continents!
No one knows better than them that the location of the black clouds and the way lightning is generated all come from the Nineteen Continents!
Then a guess that should never have appeared emerged uncontrollably from the bottom of their hearts, causing them to look up in front of them while avoiding the next round of attacks!
He was dressed in a green robe and his figure was indifferent.
Who else could the monk who finally appeared from behind the thick black clouds be if not Xie Buchen? !
At this moment, the first question that popped up in Jianchou's mind was not "We met on a narrow road, what should I do now?", but -
The Ghost Gate is heavily guarded, how could Xie Buchen possibly get through
Moreover, they did this without anyone noticing, going all the way deep into the city and lying in ambush here!
