When the water monster's chariot team had gone far away, the City God of Queliu City, who was standing on the side, took the initiative to bow and say goodbye to Xin Wuya.
"City Lord Xin, I will take my leave now."
It was not until the City God spoke that Xin Wuya remembered that there was a ghost nearby. He saluted him back and asked with a slightly puzzled look.
"Wang Cheng Huang was also waiting for Mr. Ji here, but he has already left."
The City God accepted the gift and smiled.
"I did want to confirm some things with Mr. Ji, but now everything is fine. Ghosts and gods should not leave the jurisdiction for too long. City Lord Xin, we will say goodbye now."
The purpose of the City God waiting here is not only to understand the magical powers of this mysterious immortal cultivator, but also related to Wuya City. If we talk about caring about Wuya City, apart from Xin Wuya, it is probably the turn of these ghosts and gods. Now that they have obtained results that are much better than expected, there is naturally no need to do too many unnecessary things.
After saying this, the City God, who came alone, turned around and flew away as a beam of light.
Now there were no outsiders. Xin Wuya looked at the two ghost generals and some ghost soldiers he brought with him. These trusted subordinates of his had also been frightened just now. When the thunder curse was approaching, except for the ghost generals, the other ghost soldiers just barely did not turn around and run away, but at least they did much better than those water monsters.
"Do you remember who those guys were at the banquet before and who wanted to have a feast for strangers?"
As soon as Xin Wuya opened his mouth, a ghost general beside him answered.
"I remember some of them, and I can guess the rest even if I can't remember them clearly."
Being able to attend the banquet must mean that ghosts have some status in the ghost town. Since they live in the same city, many of them know each other well. It is not difficult to imagine which ones want to eat humans the most and which ones will jump out in such occasions.
"Just remember it, I'll be back later... I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
Xin Wuya narrowed his eyes and looked back in the direction of Wuya Ghost Town. He whispered to his subordinates what Ji Yuan meant. However, Ji Yuan's original words were to get rid of them if they were useless, but on Xin Wuya's side, it became that they must be killed completely.
As Xin Wuya spoke, the ghost generals and soldiers beside him either frowned or nodded. After he finished expressing the general result he wanted, he suddenly smiled.
"It's just right that so many old ghosts have dispersed their Yin energy. I can use this opportunity to make Wuya City's Yin energy rise to a higher level. Besides, the Thunder Curse Canopy just now was shining with golden light. I guess all the ghosts in the city have seen it, so they have an excuse to attack."
In Wuya Ghost City, after Xin Wuya returned, he could see that many ghosts in the city still had expressions of fear and shock on their faces. Many ghosts had never seen lightning above their heads since they had been in Wuya City, but just now the entire sky turned into a golden thundercloud, giving them a terrifying feeling as if doomsday was approaching.
Fortunately, the terrifying aura came and went quickly, and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
Because of this incident, news soon spread in the Netherworld Ghost Palace that a master who was on good terms with the city lord congratulated the city lord on condensing the ghost body and helping the Wuya Ghost City to refine the Yin Qi Canopy. Soon the Yin Qi in Wuya City would be taken to a higher level.
After Xin Wuya returned, Wuya Ghost City had closed all the city gates and activated the forbidden magic, which was like catching a turtle in a jar.
Xin Wuya was not worried about failure at all. In fact, he was not worried about the truth being revealed either. After all, Wuya City was still ruled by him, Xin Wuya.
At four quarters past five in the morning after the celebration ended, in an attic deep in the underworld.
The city lord Xin Wuya was sitting on a cushion and concentrating on resting. After returning to the city, he sent out many capable subordinates, led by several highly skilled ghost generals and a group of ghost soldiers, to kill those vicious and evil ghosts.
At this moment, Xin Wuya could clearly feel the increase in the yin energy in the city, which must have killed quite a few evil ghosts and spirits.
A ghost general walked to the door of the attic and reported to the inside with a fist.
"Reporting to the city lord, including those who speculated, we have killed more than 200 evil spirits, and the Black Order Envoy has also been arrested. He begs to see the city lord."
Xin Wuya opened his eyes and looked at the ghost general outside.
"What did he say?"
"He said that he was loyal to the city lord and that he captured those mortals to pay tribute to the city lord. If you really look into it, he did save those four people, otherwise they would have been eaten by the ghosts in Tengyuan Tower."
A smile appeared on Xin Wuya's pale face.
"Nothing else?"
The ghost general thought for a moment and confirmed.
"Gone."
"Well, take away his ghost-refining soul-catching rope, and then kill him."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the ghost general looked at the city lord and hesitated.
"Lord City Lord, why don't you meet him? I think he is really loyal to you."
"He wanted to see me just to save his life, but he would die whether he saw me or not, so he might as well just die. By the way, what is Tengyuan Tower?"
The ghost general thought for a moment before replying.
"It seems to be a fairly famous restaurant in the city."
"Well, get rid of the ghosts related to the restaurant as well. This will be an explanation to Xiang Zhong. Go down."
"I obey your command!"
The ghost general saluted again, took a few steps back, and then turned and left.
Inside a dark prison in the ghost mansion, the Black Order Envoy looked expectantly at the door outside being opened, and also watched the ghost general walking in led by the ghost soldiers. He could not help but grab the pitch-black iron prison door and excitedly inquire about the result.
"General Wu! Has General Wu met the city lord? Did the city lord agree to see me? There must be a misunderstanding. Xiang will personally explain to the city lord and apologize..."
"Xiang Zhong, the city lord has agreed to see you! Open the door for him."
"yes!"
The ghost took out the key that permeated the evil spirit and unlocked the prison door.
“That’s great, that’s great!”
The Black Order envoy came out gladly, his face full of gratitude. He bowed and thanked the ghost general who always had no expression on his face.
"Thank you for the report, General. Thank you..."
The moment when the Black Order Envoy raised his head after finishing his ceremony.
"Zheng..."
The sound of weapons being unsheathed was accompanied by the light of swords, but only an afterimage flashed by, and the words of thanks from the Black Order Envoy came to an abrupt end. The ghost's body had been separated from its head and then turned into a thick mist, which dissipated outside the prison.
. . .
Gao Tianming's convoy had already left the Wuya Ghost Town.
After daybreak, some of the aquatic monsters in the chariot team began to reveal their true forms. Some servants had many fish scales on their faces, some had a lot of keratin and even grew long beards.
These monsters themselves are not people with profound Taoism, and it is even more impossible for them to be real transformed monsters. They are just using some magic. The power of the sun can restrain some evil magic and psychedelic magic. Many evil creatures can only transform and confuse people at night.
When they saw the imperial chariot team in broad daylight the day before, they were still in Wuya City, in a dark place so not very obvious. Now that they were outside and illuminated by the sunlight, most of these monsters revealed their true colors.
The four rescued people woke up naturally when the vehicle was exposed to the sunlight. After seeing the servants around them, they no longer dared to stay in the vehicle and insisted on leaving with Yan Fei.
There was always a special kind of water mist in the team. Although you couldn't feel it when walking in it, the speed of travel was actually much faster than ordinary walking. In Gao Tianming's words, it was a kind of "surfing method."
Around noon, the team arrived at a river. This is where the Tianshui Lake team will enter the water. They will swim forward in the water until they flow downstream into Tianshui Lake.
The carriages and the monsters could not wait to jump into the water, while Gao Tianming and his wife were still standing on the shore.
"Mr. Ji, when you are free, please come to my Tianshui Lake Water House. Although I cannot produce divine wine like ambergris, I still have some good wine!"
Gao Tianming and his wife stood solemnly by the water and bowed to Ji Yuan in farewell.
"Yes, Mr. Ji, as long as you come, Xia Qiu will cook for you personally and prepare a table of delicious dishes."
Ji Yuan thought about what it was like to cook in water, and bowed in farewell.
"I'll definitely go sit down when I'm free."
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Xia Qiu was the first to show joy and said happily.
"I take this seriously, sir, please don't break your promise!"
"Hey, my lady, what are you talking about? Mr. Ji is a great Taoist master, how could he go back on his word?"
The couple sang in unison, with smiles on their faces. They knew when to stop and bowed to Niu Batian, Yan Fei and others to say goodbye.
"Brother Niu, Brother Yan, and the other four, we'll see you again if we're lucky. Mr. Gao and his wife are about to enter the water, so we'll say goodbye now!"
"Have a safe trip, Brother Gao!" "See you later!"
Niu Batian and Yan Fei returned the greetings respectively, while the other four merely bowed without being rude but did not dare to say anything, as they knew that the other party did not care about them at all.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Gao Tianming and his wife walked into the water step by step. There was no river water draining away or whirlpools appearing. Instead, they let the water flood from their feet to over their heads. In the end, only a few ripples were left on the surface of the river.
After being frightened so many times in a row, the four people who had become somewhat numb finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ke Yundong even said this with a hint of emotion.
"I never thought I would see such a magical sight in my lifetime..."
Zhou Xing looked at Ji Yuan in awe, then looked at Niu Batian and Yan Fei, took a step closer and asked in a low voice.
"Master Yan, Master Niu, are all the monsters and ghosts gone now?"
Before Yan Fei could say anything, Niu Batian spoke with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes. Now there are no monsters, let alone ghosts. We can rest assured. Oh, to be honest, it's quite stressful to be with the monster team."
"Yes, we have to thank the Immortal and the two heroes for saving us, otherwise we would be trapped in the ghost town and would definitely die."
Ke Yundong next to him echoed and did not forget to thank him.
"Hey, just say it once. If you say it ten times, it will be annoying. Even a great man like Mr. Ji doesn't like this. Let's go, let's go to Luping City."
The Wei family of Zhonghu Dao is based outside Luping City and has a vast manor house. It is not very famous in today's Zu Yue martial arts world, but it is still well-known around Luping City. The three siblings of the Ke family and Zhou Xing are all from Luping City.
The four were very happy to know that they could travel with the immortal who saved their lives and the two heroes.
Lao Niu put his arms around Ke Yundong and Zhou Xing's necks and walked quickly in front, asking them in a low voice.
"I want to ask you two something. Luping City is very big, right? Is there any famous, hehehehehe... that red show brothel there?"
Seeing the old cow, who looked like a simple farmer, asking such a not-so-simple question with a simple face, Ke Yundong and Zhou Xing were both a little confused.
