There had just been a bloody rain, and the ground was filled with mud and potholes. The putrid smell of blood was emitting, and any creature would feel sick if it smelled it.
But, for the undead, this is the best weather.
Outside an ancient ferry station about 80 million miles away from the Ghost City of Impermanence.
By the waterside, there was a place where corpses were accumulated in a river bend. Zhang Ruochen wore a large black divine robe that covered his whole body and covered his face. He smiled and said: "This green-faced ghost king is indeed like the legend. He is not a person who can keep secrets.
I can compete with you, Xue Tu."
"I don't stick to trivial matters, and I am very clear when it comes to big matters. I actually leaked everything about the angry god. The green-faced ghost is too courageous. If the same thing happens again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well."
Xiao Hei has transformed into a corpse again.
"Everything is as expected! Not only the Green-faced Ghost Lord, but also other great gods want to instruct the monks under him to find the Ming Ancestor and the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus. They must tell them a powerful enough backer. Otherwise
, who dares?”
Zhang Ruochen said: "Can you sense the location of half of your soul?"
Xiao Hei shook his head.
Zhang Ruochen extracted a ray of soul from Xiaohei's body, ignited it, and used his mental power to calculate.
The flames fell to the right, but they were erratic and could not point to a precise direction.
"Eh!"
Zhang Ruochen immediately extracted the second ray of soul from Xiao Hei's body and continued his calculations.
Then, the third ray, the fourth ray...
By the time the tenth ray was extracted, Xiao Hei had already hid in the distance and said, "What are you doing? Revenge? You are a perfect person, can you do it?"
Zhang Ruochen looked to the right, looking at the upper reaches of the Santu River, with a serious look on his face, and said, "Has Yuan Sheng's cultivation reached the level of immortality?"
"How do I know? I am just an eighty-fifth level spiritual power god... I understand, you can't calculate her exact location, so you concluded that her cultivation level is too high."
"Who said that? Let's go to Disha Ghost City first."
"Anyway, you must use the Soul Pill to make up for the soul consumed by this emperor."
"Just a few strands of soul."
…
After the Earth Demon Ghost City moved under the World Tree, it was located on the top of a plateau about a million miles away from the Impermanence Ghost City to prevent it from being impacted by the strange blood spring.
The territory between the two cities has become the paradise of undead monks, and many temples, ghost caves, bone gardens, and corpse cities have been built.
As soon as he arrived in this territory, Zhang Ruochen used his mental power to capture the secrets of heaven and heard something that shocked him greatly.
"The Emperor of Massacre was beaten, and it is said that he was severely injured. There was not a single intact bone in his body, and even the great god's self-healing ability could not continue. When he was found, he was even unconscious and could not even speak.
It was Lord Huowu who ordered the two divine generals to carry him back to the temple in Disha Ghost City to recuperate."
"The Emperor of War God of Massacre is a disciple of Feng Tian, and he has a close relationship with Di Chen. Who dares to do such a cruel thing to him?"
"Could it be the one from Fengdu Ghost City? It is said that after that one came back, he expelled all the monks from the Palace of Death. When Xu Tian and Feng Tian left, they were very unhappy with him and fought with him."
"That person, who is said to have reached immortality and boundless cultivation, is a figure who competes with Xu Tian and Feng Tian. How could he sneak attack on a great god? He would harm his majesty."
…
It was the gods communicating via voice transmission, which was intercepted by Zhang Ruochen.
Of course, with Xiao Hei's mental strength, he also intercepted the communication information, and he immediately became happy and said: "This is too abnormal. Let's go and see if Xue Tu's injury is serious? It's really pitiful. It's hard to beat a dog."
It depends on the master... I mean what I mean, it's too lawless. Xue Tu was beaten in the Wuchang Ghost City. Was it him? It was Fengtian and you who were beaten in the face. Who doesn't know that Xuetu is your junior brother?
?”
Xiao Hei changed the subject and added: "Of course, he can only blame himself. He is usually too crazy and offends too many people. If he is as low-key as this emperor..."
"Wow!"
Before Xiao Hei could finish his words, he was pulled by Zhang Ruochen and fell into a mist of spiritual power.
When the light mist dissipated, Xiao Hei discovered that he was already in the magnificent Massacre Temple.
Xue Tu, who was lying on the chariot couch, was staring at them with horrified eyes.
"who?"
Xue Tu released his spiritual thoughts, trying to summon the God's Throne Planet to attack the two intruders in front of him.
However, the space was locked, and the God's Throne Planet showed no response.
The tall black-robed monk walked towards the chariot step by step.
Xuetu knew that the mysterious man in front of him was at least an existence in the immeasurable realm, and he couldn't help but be horrified. Even if he was not injured and was in peak condition, he probably wouldn't be able to fight back.
"Can you let me know who you really are?" Xue Tu said.
Xiao Hei's ferocious head appeared from behind Zhang Ruochen, his pupils were scarlet, and his voice was hoarse: "Tell me, where did Zhang Ruochen and Feng Caiyi go? If you tell the truth, there is still a way to survive today."
A strange look appeared in Xue Tu's eyes, and then he regarded death as if he were home, and said forcefully: "Kill if you want, but if I want this emperor to betray your master and senior brother, you are all dreaming."
The other party's cultivation level is far better than his, and he can search the soul directly. Why do you ask this?
Bloody Bet!
Zhang Ruochen knew very well that Xiao Hei's clumsy test was just to cause trouble.
How could Blood Massacre be so stupid?
Zhang Ruochen didn't say a word, and directly released his spiritual thoughts to explore the injuries in Xuetu's body.
"Wow!"
An unknown and pure power of destiny burst out from Xue Tu's body, blocking Zhang Ruochen's spiritual thoughts from entering.
Xue Tu's whole body trembled, and he let out a low roar of pain, as if he was about to explode to death from the force of fate.
"Bang!"
The palace door was broken open, and a slender cyan figure rushed in from the outside and hit Zhang Ruochen's vest with a palm.
However, Zhang Ruochen was still dozens of feet away and was frozen in space, unable to move.
Xiao Hei glanced at the figure rushing in, and found out that it was Yan Ting from the Yama Clan, and felt a sense of boredom in his heart. How could such a great god from the Blood Massacre actually be favored by the proud daughter of the Yama Clan?
"The power of destiny is so strong. Apart from the God of Nu Tian, Feng Tian, and Xu Tian, who in the world can cultivate the way of destiny to this point? Baal? Or..."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes darkened, and then he secretly circulated the Wuji Divine Way in his body, invisibly manifesting the Tai Chi Four Symbols.
The seals rotated, and the entire world turned into a whirlpool that swallowed all things, pulling out the fateful force from Xue Tu's body that destroyed his divine body and inhibited his recovery from injuries.
Even with Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation level, it took him an hour to completely pull away.
Without the restraint of the power of fate, the injuries in Xuetu's body healed automatically.
The broken divine bones were reunited.
After he had fully recovered from his injuries, Xuetu stepped down from the chariot couch, saluted Zhang Ruochen on one knee, and said, "Xuetu pays homage to the God of Fury. I will never forget the great kindness of the God."
"You actually guessed our identities."
Xiao Hei pretended to be surprised.
Xuetu was full of confidence and said: "I have long heard the news that the god came to the Santu River Basin. In addition, except for the angry god, who else in the world today can resolve the power of Mingzu? The power of fate can only
Only destiny can be broken."
Xiao Hei laughed: "Not necessarily, right? Di Chen's first-level divine way is infinitely mysterious and can break through all kinds of magic."
Xue Tu stared at Xiao Hei deeply, unable to guess the origin of this "corpse", and said: "Senior brother is certainly the number one prodigy of all time, and will surely prove the ancestor of the Tao in the future, but after all, he has not yet broken through the indestructible. Facing the
Mingzu’s ancestor’s methods may be too ambitious but not powerful enough.”
Xiao Hei wanted to continue digging a hole for Xue Tu, but Zhang Ruochen stopped him and said, "Get up, have you met the remnant soul of Ming Ancestor?"
Xuetu nodded deeply, with strong fear in his eyes, and said: "It is exactly the same as the portrait of Mingzu on the castle tower. He has a chaotic and tall figure, and his pupils are in twelve colors, corresponding to the twelve phases of fate. Moreover, he holds the legendary Wu
As soon as my lamp was illuminated by the light, I lost myself and obediently offered the Tianshu needle."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Maybe we can survey and reconstruct the scene at that time?"
Xuetu nodded, immediately released his spirit and rules, and tried to evolve the scene at that time.
However, it ended in failure.
Xuetu looked embarrassed and said: "I have been suppressed by the invisible force of fate. With my cultivation, I cannot map the fate ancestor."
Zhang Ruochen said: "So Ming Zu came to you to seize the Tianshu Needle?"
"It must be this reason." Xuetu was very sure.
Xiao Hei asked doubtfully: "I have two doubts. First, since you have lost yourself and obediently offered the Tianshu needle, how could you be beaten like this?"
Xue Tu said: "That must be because I have an unyielding will. After losing myself, I relied on my will to protect the Tianshu Needle, and launched a dangerous and fierce battle with the remnant soul of the Ming Ancestor. That's why I paid such a price!"
Xiao Hei laughed out loud: "How dare you fight fiercely with the remnant soul of Mingzu? I will ask you again, why did Mingzu spare your life?"
Xuetu was not embarrassed at all and said: "I once heard him say that he would not kill monks who believe in fate."
"Is this really the case? Is this a trick to lure the God of Nu Tian to show up? In fact, you have surrendered to Mingzu a long time ago?" Xiao Hei continued to dig holes for Xue Tu.
Xue Tu was horrified. He looked at the God of Raging Heaven shrouded in black robes and quickly knelt down to salute: "Xue Tu's loyalty to the Temple of Destiny can be seen from the heavens. If the God doesn't believe it, you can search for his soul."
Yan Ting hurriedly said: "Please give me a warning from the God of Nu Tian! Even if the Emperor of the Massacred War seeks refuge with the remnant soul of Ming Ancestor, it is definitely an act of surrender and he will not really do that."
Xuetu scolded: "Shut up! Even though I am dead, I will not bow to the remnant soul of my ancestor."
Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought, and the appearance of the remnant soul of his ancestor disrupted all his previous guesses.
The power of destiny left in Xue Tu's body, which he had just carefully analyzed and calculated, had no connection with the Tianshu Needle.
Could it be that the direction of thinking is wrong?
Ling Yanzi left the clue of Tianshu Needle, is it actually because the remnant soul of Mingzu is in charge of Tianshu Needle? Or, what other uses does Tianshu Needle have?
Of course, Zhang Ruochen also suspected that the remnant soul of Mingzu had noticed something and was trying to spread suspicion.
No matter what the situation is, since the remnant soul of Mingzu is really near the Ghost City of Impermanence, Zhang Ruochen's current situation will be very dangerous.
We must find Yuan Sheng as soon as possible and leave.
"Come in! What happened?" Zhang Ruochen said suddenly.
Outside the hall, Suzaku Huowu noticed something was wrong. He originally planned to retreat and immediately reported to the clan leader to deal with the powerful enemy, but now he can't leave!
Xue Tu said: "The Lord Fire Dance has come in, it's the Lord Nu Tian."
Zhuque Huowu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put away his soldiers, walked into the temple, and immediately saluted Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen took off his hood, revealing the "true face" of the God of Raging Sky. His face was calm and intimidating, and he said, "You look in a hurry, what happened?"
Suzaku Huowu said: "Originally, I came to take Xuetu to Fengdu Ghost City on the orders of the Zhou Qigui Emperor to help him refine the weird spiritual energy in his body. But, with the God of Nu Tian here, it is obviously not necessary!
"
After thinking for a while, Zhuque Huowu said: "Sir, there is actually another difficult matter."
"Say it!"
Suzaku Huowu said: "There is a mysterious strong man who captured the thirteen gods of the ghost clan, including Mingye God. The ghost emperor suspected that it was Mingzu who took action. After all, he had just attacked the Emperor of Massacre and seized the god of war.
Take away Tianshu Needle and capture Gong Nanfeng."
"Gong Nanfeng was captured?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Zhuque Huowu said: "Since Ming Zu has taken away the Tianshu Needle, Gong Nanfeng's disappearance must be his fault."
"A woman's opinion." Xiao Hei smiled.
Zhuque Huowu's eyes fell on Xiao Hei, looked at him carefully, and said with a bit of displeasure, "Who are you?"
Xiao Hei said proudly: "White Valley, Black Divine Master."
Zhuque Huowu couldn't see through the opponent's level of cultivation. He was secretly shocked that there were so many masters in Baiyi Valley. At the same time, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said: "What kind of advice does Master Black God have? If you can't tell me why, I will never accept it."
There are four words of humiliation for a woman to see."
Xiao Hei snorted: "You just said that Ming Zu captured the thirteen gods of the ghost clan? Why did he do what he did?"
Suzaku Huowu said: "Isn't it strange that the remnant soul of the ancient strong man swallowed the gods of the world?"
"With Mingzu's cultivation level, is it difficult to devour them? Why just capture them instead of swallowing them directly? Is their throne planet extinguished?"
Xiao Hei continued to ask: "Outside the Impermanence Ghost City, the gods of all races in the hell world gathered. Why are the gods of the ghost race captured?"
Zhuque Huowu's eyelids shrank and he fell into deep thought. Apparently he thought what Xiao Hei said was reasonable and he was blinded!
Suzaku Huowu said: "However, in today's world, there are not many people who can hide a powerful god from the ghost clan and capture a god quietly! Senior, who do you think could do it?"
Xiao Hei enjoyed the sound of "senior" very much and said: "This is obviously a provocation, and the provocation is your clan leader who just returned."
Zhuque Huowu understood instantly and said: "The patriarch just came back, and he had a falling out with Fengtian and Di Chen to rebuild the order of the ghost city. As soon as Fengtian and Di Chen left, something like this happened, which is indeed a blow to the patriarch.
Majesty. It should not be possible that Fengtian and Dichen did it, they would not use such despicable means to fight with the clan leader."
"Could it be Emperor Huangquan?"
Xuetu said: "There is a possibility! Emperor Huangquan wants to lure the ghost clan leader out of Fengdu Ghost City to save people, and then take advantage of the situation."
Suzaku Huowu sighed: "The patriarch must be riding a tiger now. If he doesn't save people, how will the ghost monks view him?"
"If I had known this now, why bother at the beginning? If Di Chen and Feng Tian were still here, how could we be here today?" Xiao Hei mocked without hesitation.
Zhuque Huowu left immediately and rushed back to Fengdu Ghost City to report the analysis just now to the Ghost Emperor.
Zhang Ruochen's thoughts were completely different from theirs. What he thought of was not Emperor Huangquan, but Yuan Sheng.
Emperor Huangquan has always been steady and will never take action easily.
Looking at the previous few moves, we all made decisions before taking action, made multiple arrangements, and advanced and retreated calmly.
This method of capturing ghosts and gods is indeed effective, but it is too stingy and is not the style of Emperor Huangquan.
But why did Yuan Sheng use this method to deal with black and white Taoists?
Could it be because Taoist Black and White swallowed too many ancient ghost creatures in the abyss of darkness, or did something else that made people angry?
It's too risky, just playing with fire.
Yuan Sheng is good at conspiracy and tricks. Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen were deceived by her when they first met her! But Zhang Ruochen felt that Yuan Sheng was completely unaware of the hidden dangers in the Santu River Basin today, so that's why
Audacious.
Hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhang Ruochen said: "Xue Tu, you take the place of me and convey the decree to the Ghost Lord."
"Understood, we are looking for Ming Ancestor and the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus, right?"
Xuetu believed that the reason why Lord Nutian came to Disha Ghost City was for this matter.
Zhang Ruochen nodded, and after Xuetu left, his eyes fell on Yan Ting and asked: "Is there any news about Yan Wushen recently?"
Yan Ting was slightly surprised, then shook her head and said: "He has not contacted me, and there is no news about him in the entire Dark Abyss Yan family. God, has something happened to him?"
Zhang Ruochen couldn't answer her question and said: "Since the leader of the Huanyu clan has returned, you, the Yan clan of the Dark Abyss, should also go back to Tianwai Tian to pay homage to him."
Not long after, Zhuque Huowu and Zhou Qi Ghost Emperor came from Fengdu Ghost City at the same time to pay homage to the "Wu Tian God".
Zhou Begged the Ghost Emperor and said: "Please ask the God of Nu Tian to suppress Emperor Huangquan and save the gods of the ghost clan."
"Is there any further news?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Zhou Qigui Emperor said: "The patriarch used the divine throne planet of Lord Mingye to make deductions, and his aura appeared in the Sea of Hidden Bones. However, with the cultivation of the patriarch, he may not be the opponent of Emperor Huangquan. Moreover, the tribesmen cannot
Leaving Fengdu Ghost Town..."
Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly: "I am here because I have more important things to do, and I don't want to be tied up. Emperor Huang Quan is only one person, what can't he handle? You ghost clan currently has four masters."
"let's go."
Zhang Ruochen took Xiao Hei and left the Massacre Temple.
Xuetu laughed: "You ghost tribe is really funny. Just after the clan leader came back, he drove away the gods of the Temple of Destiny who have been helping you. Now you ask the gods of the Temple of Destiny to help you save people? You will use the gods of the Temple of Destiny to help you."
What do you think it is? If you call it, it will come and go, if you wave it, it will go?"
Zhuque Huowu suddenly said: "I understand!"
Several people in the hall all looked at her.
Suzaku Huowu said: "It's not that Lord Nutian doesn't help the ghost clan, but that he doesn't need his help. What he said just now, there is only one person in the Underworld, is the key point."
"If Emperor Huangquan's purpose is to lure the clan leader to the Hidden Bone Sea to rescue people, and thus take the opportunity to attack Fengdu Ghost City, then it is very likely that he has quietly returned to the vicinity of Fengdu Ghost City and is waiting for the clan leader to leave the city."
"In other words, it's not dangerous beyond the sea of bones. Ghost Emperor, I'm going to save people!"
Zhou Qigui Emperor said: "That being said, what if our analysis is wrong? It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
"Take this opportunity to force the clan leader to release Hun Qi and let him go with me." Zhuque Huowu said.
Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi nodded and said: "This is a way! You can take my emperor's seal and go to find the master of the Bone Temple first and ask him for help. After all, we are on the territory of the Bone Clan."
Zhang Ruochen did not go to the Sea of Bones, but instead hid his aura and came to the outside of the Ghost City of Impermanence, where he mingled with monks from all races.
Xiao Hei sent a message: "Suzaku Huowu and Hun Qi have already set off, aren't we going?"
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xiao Hei said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the one who captured those ghosts and gods was probably Yuan Sheng?"
"It might have been Yuan Sheng before, but the one guarding there now should be Yuan Jieyi. Yuan Sheng has probably returned to the nearby area and is waiting for Black and White Taoist Master to leave Fengdu Ghost City." Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiao Hei was a little confused and said: "Why?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "With Taoist Black and White's headstrong character, he would definitely pretend to leave the city, lure the so-called Emperor Huangquan to show up, and then set up a dragnet to suppress him, to show that he is more capable than Fengtian and Xutian."
"If I were Yuan Sheng, I would either take this opportunity to sneak into the Fengdu Ghost City. Or attack the Impermanence Ghost City and release the strange blood fountain to create greater chaos."
Xiao Hei said seriously: "Then we must stop her."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Yuan Sheng, I'm not worried. Taoist Black and White will definitely take these two points into consideration since he has laid out his plan. What I'm worried about is Luo Jianluo, who has never shown up, or even Emperor Huangquan may have really arrived!"
"Now I can only hope that Taoist Black and White will not be too self-righteous and can deal with it conservatively. As long as he does not leave Fengdu Ghost City and covers the Impermanence Ghost City with the World Tree, he can at least be invincible."
