After leaving the entanglement between Wang Wei and Hu Qingbo, the road ahead should have been smooth. However, when we looked up, we found that it was not like that.
The path is still winding, but at the end of the path, the haze seems to be getting thicker.
This feeling made me feel like there was some scary old monster squatting at the end of the path. The visibility there was only within ten steps, and the eerie atmosphere was something we had never seen before.
I asked Xiaofeng in a low voice: "Xiaofeng, do you think there is something... at the end of this path?"
Xiao Feng nodded and said: "There is indeed something wrong. I have never encountered such a terrifying situation before. Are there other traps where Cao Wuyou is imprisoned?"
I shook my head and said, "That shouldn't be the case... Apart from Wang Wei and Hu Qingbo, there is only one Wulong left in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Who else is there?"
"Maybe... there are any other rising stars?"
While Xiaofeng and I were discussing, we moved cautiously towards the front. This is the core location where Cao Wuyou is imprisoned. Logically speaking, there should be many people guarding it, but we walked all the way and didn't see anyone.
Instead, the air was filled with the smell of ghost corpses, as if someone passed by and killed the guards.
I looked around for a while and asked, "Could it be Guo Fengxian and the others who got here first?"
Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "It's possible, it seems that all the guards around have been killed."
Having said this, Xiaofeng looked back in the direction of Guo Fengxian and the others. Unfortunately, the smog was so serious that neither Xiaofeng nor I could see anyone.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound similar to that of a snake spitting messages, and when the sound passed, I saw a pair of red eyes vaguely emerging from the darkness in the distance in the haze...
My first reaction was that this thing shouldn't be a snake, right? But soon after I saw the outline of his head, it should be a person, not a snake.
"Be careful, the purple color is second grade, and the five elements belong to water." Xiao Feng had already seen through that this was a fierce ghost, and also clearly saw the ability and realm attributes of this fierce ghost, so he warned.
I quickly started preparing to fight, but before I could take action, a golden light suddenly appeared from the haze in the distance, and then struck the back of the head with red eyes with a clang. This guy couldn't even take action or speak.
No, I just received the lunch box so easily.
The owner of this golden light that killed the red-eyed ghost was Shu Yi. Obviously among the ghosts that may appear today, only Shu Yi has such terrifying metallic abilities.
Sure enough, in the fog, Shu Yi stood in front, while Guo Fengxian and Su'e walked out of the fog one by one.
The three of them seemed a little surprised when they saw us. When Guo Fengxian saw that there was no one else around, he said humbly: "Master, have you encountered any difficulties along the way?"
I nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaofeng and I bumped into Hu Qingbo and Wang Wei on the way..."
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and Su'e asked in disbelief: "You met the two of them? Hu Qingbo and Wang Wei are both capable, and they work well together. If
If we meet head-on, how can you escape from them?"
I smiled and said, "Originally, Xiaofeng and I had no chance of winning, but thanks to the timely arrival of the General Administration Master and Song Qian from the underground palace, they got entangled with Hu Qingbo and the others, and we were able to take the opportunity to escape."
Su'e frowned and asked: "The two of them have arrived? That is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... If you are willing to cooperate, wouldn't you be able to kill Hu Qingbo directly?"
But Guo Fengxian sneered and said: "Haha, little junior sister, this is because you are not careful enough. If the master and the girl are really present, how can the two old foxes in the underground palace try their best?"
Su'e suddenly realized: "Yes, according to the ideas of those unprincipled ghosts in the underground palace, if the master is present, then they will definitely be lazy... Then let the master and Hu Qingbo fight so hard that both sides will lose, and they will benefit.
,right?"
Guo Fengxian nodded and said: "This is the truth, so it is a wise choice for the master to retreat in time."
Shu Yi interjected at this time: "Hu Qingbo and the others are not a problem now. Since the underground palace is entangled with them, we'd better hurry up and rescue that useless guy Cao Wuyong first."
Guo Fengxian was a little unhappy when he heard this: "How did my senior brother become a useless guy?"
Shu Yi rolled her eyes: "His own name is Wuyou, no wonder others."
Su'e chuckled: "The senior brother is indeed useless, but my second senior brother is smarter."
After saying that, Su'e took the lead and said: "Let's go. Since we have eliminated all the guards here and Hu Qingbo has been controlled by the helpers in the underground palace, we can just go and save the senior brother."
Under the leadership of Su'e, the five of us walked toward the deepest part of the haze. However, I was thinking about two questions along the way.
The first question: Who is the helper sent by the underground palace who has never shown up? Will he hide in the dark and assassinate us?
Second question: Did the Nine-Five Supreme Lord arrange Hu Qingbo and Wang Wei to guard Cao Wuyong? He should understand the importance of Cao Wuyong, and also know that we will rescue such an important figure at all costs, but only
Was it a little too rash to send the two of them?
However, before I could figure out these questions, Guo Fengxian in front had already seen something and whispered: "Look, everyone, there seems to be something there..."
We looked over according to Guo Fengxian's guidance and vaguely saw a strange thing ten steps away.
It was like a huge chair, and a person was sitting on it. Because the smog was so thick, we couldn't see the person's face and facial features clearly at all. We couldn't even tell the difference between male and female. In confusion, we just
Can pause.
Guo Fengxian looked around to make sure there were no traps, then he raised his voice and asked, "Who is in front of you?"
After a while, a sound like the roar of gold and stone slowly sounded, and this sound was exactly the same as the one I heard in the underground palace before.
He is the old ghost in the purple realm, and the Dark Fire Mysterious Pearl on my body was given to me by him. Even after such a long time, his voice has not changed at all.
The old ghost said slowly: "Is the second child here?"
This name was really indecent, which directly caused Guo Fengxian to almost turn around and leave: "Senior brother, can you not call me such a punful name?"
The old ghost smiled: "Fengxian, you're here, come here quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time... I didn't expect that this time, despite all the calculations, the Nine-Five Supreme Master got the better of us, and we were about to finish the job."
, but I was taken advantage of by him and fell into the inferior position, which is really a bit embarrassing..."
Now that we were sure that this guy was the Cao Wuyong we were looking for, we quickly stepped forward.
Halfway through, Su'e asked: "Elder brother, are there no traps around you?"
Cao Wuyong sneered twice through the haze: "Don't worry, the Ninth Five Supreme Being is not stupid enough to set a trap under my nose. He should know that any trap will be cracked by me after seeing it once in my eyes."
This Cao Wuyong spoke very domineeringly, and his whole person exuded an air of superiority that made people look up to him. After listening to his words, I couldn't help but feel happy. This guy seemed to be more clever and resourceful than Guo Fengxian.
With such a helper, it will definitely not be a problem to deal with the Nine-Five Supreme.
With Cao Wuyong's guarantee, we calmly walked into the haze. After getting closer, I finally saw the true face of Cao Wuyong, the leader of the three sages who only heard his voice but never saw him.
Eyes.
On a huge stone stool, a skinny old man was tied to it by heavy iron ropes, looking like an old monk in peace.
