The next day, in the south of the city, at Guzhong Tower.
The building in the middle of the river is not a single building, but a group of buildings. It is located near the territory of the ghost king in the south of the city, and is the place where the ten ghost clans in Fengdu City usually gather for meetings. All the buildings are built with white stone, and the outer walls are painted with various patterns, with bright colors and magnificent momentum.
By the time De Zichu arrived, thousands of ghost cultivators had already gathered outside.
Due to the defeat in the Ghost Gate Battle not long ago, the atmosphere in the Jiyu was not very good. Also, due to the various misleading "rumors" coming from the Maocheng front line, it was inevitable that some people in Fengdu City were secretly shaken.
So when they gathered in front of the building, everyone was whispering.
Standing in the crowd of the Wuchang clan, Jianchou looked at the ghost cultivators from the other ghost clans around him, estimating their realms and combat capabilities, while also secretly listening to their discussions.
After one night, no one knew what this call-up was for, let alone where they would go if they were selected.
Compared to the past, most people are not very interested.
Although there is no clear news from the Eight Directions Hell Palace at present, it can be guessed that recruiting ghost soldiers at this time should be to deal with the Nineteen Continents, and the requirements for the cultivation of ghost cultivators are so high, it is very likely that it is not an easy task.
"I hope I won't be chosen. There are so many masters, and someone like me with my level of cultivation shouldn't be chosen."
"Who can say for sure?"
"Yes, Li Han has a strange personality. When he was in the Ghost King Clan in his early years, he was cold and cruel. After becoming a judge, his methods were no weaker than those of Zhang Tang, the dead man. I heard that Zhang Tang was missing, and he happened to be out of retreat. At this critical moment, the timing is too coincidental. It is obvious that His Royal Highness Qin Guangwang relies on him the most now. Alas, why did he send him when there were so many other people to choose?"
"There is no need to worry. When selecting ghost cultivators, several elders from the ghost clan will also participate in the selection. I heard that they will discuss and select them together."
"Anyway, those with higher cultivation should be more likely to be selected..."
…
"Li Han"'s reputation in the Jiyuyu is so famous that it can be compared to Zhang Tang, the dead-faced man. This shows how evil and disgusting he is.
Jianchou listened and couldn't help thinking for a moment.
Fu Chaosheng is a great demon, born with an extremely evil demon nature. The principle of "the strong prey on the weak" is deeply rooted in his memory, and he does not regard killing people or destroying things as a sin, nor does he feel the slightest guilt. So although he looks calmer than Zhang Tang, his inner temperament is definitely more indifferent than Zhang Tang.
In a sense, he is indeed more terrifying than Zhang Tang.
But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
He withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and looked up at the three-story buildings in front of him. He could vaguely see a long staircase between the second and third floors. Several figures walked up the staircase and went up to the third floor.
Soon, a loud bell rang in front of the building.
A young ghost cultivator in a black robe came out. He had a sharp black horn on his head. He must have cultivated his own Dharma body and reached the "Golden Body" realm. He seemed to be quite contemptuous of everyone. Without even glancing at them, he said, "Start with the Ghost King Clan. Come in groups of ten in order."
The top ten ghost clans have their own rankings, and the Ghost King Clan has always been ranked first. What's more, this time it is Li Han, who is born in the Ghost King Clan, who is in charge of the recruitment, so it is natural and understandable to let the Ghost King Clan choose first.
Immediately, ten ghost cultivators stepped out and walked into the building.
Almost everyone's eyes were on these ten people. Through the gap between the second and third floors, they saw them go up to the third floor. After a while, only seven people came out. Apparently two people stayed behind. They came down from the other side but stayed in the building.
The seven people were obviously confused. When asked by everyone after they came out, they had no idea what the selection criteria were. They only said that after they went in, they paid their respects to Li Han and the other elders, and then a wisp of soul energy was taken from them in a small bowl. Those with green light in the bowl were not taken, and those with blue light were selected to keep those with higher cultivation.
The three people selected are all masters in the Golden Body realm.
"Taking the energy of the soul?"
"What kind of bowl is that?"
"Looking at it this way, even if you meet the requirements, it's unlikely that you'll be able to get in if you have low cultivation. I've just reached Nirvana, so I don't have to worry."
"That makes sense. I probably can't get in either..."
…
Just from the experiences of these ten people, everyone saw some clues and started discussing. The ghost cultivators who kept coming in and out later further verified everyone's guesses step by step.
The speed was not slow and soon it was the turn of the Wuchang clan.
Among the ten people in Jianchou's group, there are six male cultivators and four female cultivators.
Before walking into the building, Xue Yin didn't say a word, but the other two female cultivators made obvious mocking sounds and looked at Jianchou with a bit of gloating.
Needless to say, he wanted to see Lian Zhao make a fool of herself.
Such opportunities are rare indeed.
Not only them—
The moment Jianchou, who was at the end of the list, walked out from the area of the Wuchang clan, the surroundings almost immediately became quiet.
All the whispers disappeared completely.
Silence, sudden.
This was actually something no one had expected. After all, when they knew it was the Wuchang clan's turn, they turned their attention and watched quietly. When they saw Lian Zhao coming out, they subconsciously held their breath, wanting to see what would develop next.
The result was the same for everyone, so didn't everyone quiet down immediately
In this Fengdu City, who has not heard of Lian Zhao
Being famous also meant being infamous. Male cultivators all coveted her charming body, while female cultivators hated her frivolous behavior. But whether it was covetousness or jealousy, few people really liked her.
Therefore, the fact that she had embarrassed herself by sticking to Li Han was treated as a joke and became known to everyone.
The one in charge of the conscription today is Li Han!
It was clearly stated on the conscription order that the cultivation level must be at least Yu Nirvana, which means that this conscription is most likely to require masters among ghost cultivators.
But what is she
Not only did his cultivation level barely reach Nirvana, but he also made a joke back then.
If it were a normal person, they would probably be too embarrassed to even record their name.
She, on the other hand, came here with such a thick face, as if the incident of being thrown to the ground that year had never happened, as if nothing had happened!
Everyone wanted to see her performance and guess her purpose.
But to everyone's surprise, Lian Zhao was unusually calm at this moment. She didn't show any shyness about seeing her lover, nor did she feel the embarrassment of recalling past humiliation.
The whole person even seemed cold.
even…
It was obvious that she was not in a good mood.
There was even a trance-like feeling on his face, looking straight ahead, yet it seemed as if he was not looking at anything.
It was clearly not a very special expression, but it made everyone think of the rumors of the past two days: Xiao Mou, who never resisted or said a word when being bullied by Lian Zhao, actually loved her privately...
Of the two, Xiao Mou's cultivation is higher.
But in the battle at the Ghost Gate, Lian Zhao came back alive, only injured, while Xiao Mou died. Looking at Lian Zhao's pale and dazed appearance, it is hard not to wonder what happened in between.
But before everyone could observe more closely, the female cultivator in a loose black robe had already entered the building with the other nine people.
The figure moved in the gaps between the buildings, becoming vague.
Step by step, he approached the third floor, which was where the selection process took place and where Li Han was. m.166xs.cc
Jianchou and Fu Chaosheng had planned this.
Qu Zhengfeng chose to attack the Jiyu with most of the cultivators from the Nineteen Continents, and no longer explored the Jiyu with her. It was dangerous for her to fight alone. Fu Chaosheng had also pretended to be Li Han, and when he left the Jiyu, he only said that he was in seclusion, just so that if he returned to the Jiyu one day, his identity would come in handy.
That's why she asked "Li Han" to come out.
Compared to Xiao Mou, who was pretended by Qu Zhengfeng, Li Han's identity as the Great Judge is obviously more useful. He can find out more information, and the power he holds is far beyond that of Xiao Mou, a small ghost cultivator from the Wuchang clan.
However, this identity is also more dangerous.
Fu Chaosheng hasn't contacted her these days, so she doesn't know the specific situation on his side for the time being. But she expects that Fu Chaosheng has the Bimu Universe Eyes in his hand, so he should know some of the situation on her side and be able to respond.
The stairs are very long and somewhat narrow, and people feel they are surprisingly steep when walking on them.
Jianchou was standing right behind Xueyin, exactly the sixth of the ten people.
The third floor of the entire building was built extremely wide, with brightly colored paintings on the walls and beams, revealing a primitive and rugged feel.
As soon as you come up, you can see four people sitting in the middle.
There are two people on the left and one on the right. They all look like old men. The clothes they wear are different, but there are dark gold demon patterns engraved on the lapels of their clothes.
They are all elders of the ghost clan.
The two on the left are elders of the Day Wandering Tribe and the Night Wandering Tribe; the one on the right is the elder of the Ghost King Tribe.
As for the fourth person sitting in the middle, there is no doubt that he is the chief judge in charge of this conscription, "Li Han".
Compared to the elders on both sides, he looked very young.
Unlike Zhang Tang, he was not always wearing the official robes. He was wearing a thick dark blue robe, with a cold face that was somewhat gloomy. When his dark blue eyes, like glass, moved, it only gave people a feeling of depression that made their backs cold.
As soon as the ten people came up, his eyes turned over.
At this moment, no one dared to look directly at him. Almost subconsciously, they lowered their heads the moment they met his gaze, and bowed together: "Greetings, Master Li Han, and all the elders."
The only exception is Jianchou.
She first raised her eyes and looked at "Li Han" calmly, then bowed calmly, obviously half a beat slower than others.
When everyone else was acting in unison, her actions were naturally very eye-catching and immediately attracted the attention of the three elders.
They couldn't help but look over.
I originally thought he was just a slow responder, but when I looked at him, I suddenly laughed, "Isn't this Lian Zhao? He's here too."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
Xueyin even felt in her heart that Lian Zhao was deliberately using such a slow move to attract the attention of the people above, especially Li Han.
Because she had used this trick before!
Almost identical at this moment!
She could almost imagine in her mind how Lian Zhao would look the next moment, smiling sweetly and looking up, pretending to be shy when speaking to Li Han.
However, to her surprise, there was none!
Facing the question from the Ghost King clan elder above, which was not sure whether it was one of surprise or sarcasm, Jianchou had no expression on his face and seemed extremely calm. He just stood with the crowd, maintaining a salute posture, and said nothing.
At this moment, everyone was a little surprised.
The elder of the Ghost King Clan was named Li Yan. He had also heard about the behavior of the female cultivator Lian Zhao from the Wuchang Clan. Moreover, because Li Han was from their Ghost King Clan, he was also very clear about the "old incident" that was widely circulated back then.
He originally wanted to make a joke, but who would have thought that the other party would not respond.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
Li Yan turned his gaze to "Li Han".
"Li Han", or Fu Chaosheng, at this time, still had his eyes on Jianchou.
Although he had seen her disguised like this before, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a strange and unfamiliar feeling.
Not very comfortable.
The combination of her snowy skin and dark robes made it clear that she was an old friend he knew in the past. However, her whiteness was so blinding that he wanted to look away, but he couldn't.
