There were dozens of people standing in the open space.
All of them had firm and strong faces and stood upright.
The three palace masters, Gongyang Jing, Zhongli, and Wei Zhiyou, all arrived and stood at the front of the team.
Li Kui is dressed in the costume of Yin Lu Si's ghost envoy. There is a brave Pixiu tattooed on the right chest, with teeth and claws showing, showing his majesty. He has a water dragon knife on his waist.
He looked around, his eyes filled with interest.
In this ghost hunting assessment, a total of seventy-five people from the three divisions participated.
The ghosts participating in the assessment are all at the lowest level of howling, and the strongest ones should be at the peak of howling, so they should not be underestimated!
Twenty-five people from the Yin Lu Division alone including Li Kui participated. If this trial was not for the election of the three divisions, the competition intensity would be unprecedentedly fierce. Except for those who are stubborn and want to temper themselves, they have self-awareness.
All the demons chose to withdraw from this trial!
Normally, this number would probably have increased several times.
Li Kui also saw Shen Tu, Yu Lei, Xue Changzai and Qiu Baifei, including Tu Bo who was yawning. They all noticed Li Kui's gaze and smiled one after another, with excitement that could not be concealed in their expressions.
Everyone's enthusiasm is very high.
Li Kui thought to himself.
"If you beg me at the critical moment, I will definitely reach out and give you a hand."
At this moment, a plain voice suddenly sounded in Li Kui's ears. He glanced at Xiao Gang standing next to him and moved his lips, "I will return these words to you intact. Our Lao Li's heart is still the same."
Not bad!”
Xiao Gang didn't speak, but curled up the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, the first three palace masters were also chatting.
Zhongli, who was tall and strong, stroked his beautiful beard and said with a grin, "It's a pity that there are only two places for each department in this assessment. Our Punishment Department has a large number of talents. This number of places is not enough, you think so."
"Then which two of his men do Master Bell most hope to stand out?"
Wei Zhiyou, who had a kind face, smiled and said, "Shen Tu and Yu Lei."
"Hey, Old Wei, don't set a trap for me."
Zhong Li glanced at Wei Zhiyou with dissatisfaction, "Although I favor those two boys, I am a bit biased. But the most important thing as a palace master is to level a bowl of water. I also fully believe that other people in the department can achieve good results!"
"
"Oh I see."
The lean and handsome Gong Yangjing said thoughtfully, "What Master Zhong means is that regardless of his identity as the master of the palace, he still wants Shen Tu and Yu Lei to get their quota to fight for the Evil Punishment Division, right?"
"no……"
Zhong Li glanced at Gong Yangjing and Wei Zhiyou respectively, and said speechlessly, "Hey, can you two still talk?"
Immediately, he asked Gongyang Jing in the same way.
"Where is the Master of Gongyang Hall, which one do you like more, Li Kui, Xiao Gang, or..."
"coming."
Gong Yangjing said something quickly.
The faces of the three palace masters suddenly became solemn, and they all clasped their hands and said, "See the Wheel-turning King."
Dressed in a dark imperial robe and wearing a twelve-pointed crown, the Wheel-turning King Xue Zongsheng suddenly appeared in front of everyone. His eyes seemed to sweep over every face, and everyone could feel the gaze from the underworld King of Hell.
.
The atmosphere on the court immediately became quiet and tense.
"I will preside over this third division's ghost hunting assessment."
Xue Zongsheng's eyes were calm and deep, as if they contained no emotion at all: "You are very lucky to have met the time when we need you most.
"In the past, even ghost hunters would not have had the opportunity to go on a business trip, but now... each of you has been to other worlds and experienced different scenery, and you also understand that war is not far away from us.
distant.
"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, all of us will rush to the real battlefield!"
Xue Zongsheng paused and spoke in a steady and powerful voice, "Therefore, the responsibilities on your shoulders are far greater than at any other time.
"Are you afraid of this?
"Are you afraid of the pressure that responsibility will bring to you?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Everyone including Li Kui shouted with all their strength.
"I only look at actions."
Xue Zongsheng put his hands behind his back, "The location of the first round of assessment is - Sanhuai Water Village!"
When Li Kui heard this name, there were some ripples in his eyes.
Sure enough, we chose Sanhuai Water Village!
In the past three days, Li Kui had not been idle. He had been thinking about the information revealed to him by the Wheel King.
If water recovery is included in the assessment, either the people from the three divisions will be placed on one water area to determine the winner, or everyone will be put together. If the latter is the case, then the 'field' needs to be large enough
, and difficult enough.
The only force that can perfectly meet the above requirements is the Sanhuai Water Village!
At this time, Li Kui finally understood what the extremely special preferential treatment Xue Zongsheng said last time was referring to. As expected, he had already known that he had a plan in Sanhuai Water Village.
But in this case, I do have a slight advantage at the beginning.
"I believe you are no stranger to this force."
Xue Zongsheng's heart moved.
A roll of drawings suddenly appeared in front of seventy-five people. It marked various places in the Sanhuai Water Village, but it did not describe the situation of every street and alley in detail. To put it bluntly, it would not make people completely headless.
fly.
"But I want to tell you some bad news in advance."
Xue Zongsheng said, "Just yesterday, all the hidden traces of the Chacha Division's development in the Sanhuai Water Village were eradicated. Whether the situation inside has changed or not cannot be seen by relying on that volume of drawings alone. Everything depends on you.
"And I only look at the results."
As he spoke, spirit infants no bigger than a finger suddenly fell from the sky and landed on everyone's shoulders. It is worth noting that the spirit infants all held a token in their hands.
"The Spiritual Infants will be responsible for recording your results, and the boundary-breaking tokens in their hands are for you to use to open the portal."
Xue Zongsheng said in an orderly manner, "Your mission is to open the portal at the right place and at the right time, so that the underworld's army can smoothly pass through the portal to clear out the Sanhuai Water Village."
Immediately, he added meaningfully, "Once the portal is opened, no matter what the situation on the other side is, the army will trust you without reservation and all will pass through."
Hearing this sentence, Li Kui frowned subconsciously.
At this time, the voice of King Chakravartin continued: "Including but not limited to, occupying the important positions of Sanhuai Water Village will give you extra points. You have five hours. During this time, you can use
Use any means to achieve your goals!"
immediately.
Xue Zongsheng looked at the elites in front of him who could be said to be the best and the best of the three divisions. A rare smile appeared on his face under the twelve crowns: "Here, I can tell you in advance that the person who has completed all the ghost hunting assessments,
By then, at least it will be able to reach a greater level!"
A big realm.
If you scream loudly, you will directly break through to the hot state.
Many people couldn't help but feel hot in their eyes, and they wanted to have a big fight now!
To reach their level of cultivation, every step forward not only requires massive resources, but also the experience and understanding of the Tao. This is an inestimable and precious resource. If this sentence can be said from Xue Zongsheng's mouth, the authenticity must be
No doubt about it!
"alright, do not piffle any more."
Xue Zongsheng's heart moved.
Immediately, a huge portal dozens of meters high suddenly appeared.
"After passing through this portal, the location where you appear in the water village is not fixed, and safety will not be guaranteed. Everything depends on you!"
then.
One by one, the ghosts entered the portal in the order they were queued up.
It was about to be Li Kui and Xiao Gang's turn.
At this time, Li Kui looked around again, and suddenly noticed that Yinsi Street, which was originally noisy with some people in the distance, suddenly became extremely quiet. The other ghosts who did not participate in the selection, and even the ghosts, seemed to have disappeared.
As his mind raced, he vaguely guessed something.
Could it be that……
As the ghost hunting assessment begins, the Underworld decides to take back all the waters in one fell swoop.
When he thought of this, Li Kui glanced at Xiao Gang without leaving any trace, and communicated in his mind: "Don't be careless, be careful."
Xiao Gang nodded silently.
Immediately afterwards, the two entered the portal one after another.
After a while, only the Wheel-turning King and the three palace masters were left in the open space.
"The rest will be left to you."
Xue Zongsheng looked at Gong Yangjing and others and said.
"Please don't worry, King Chakravartin."
Zhongli said with a smile and cupped his hands.
Xue Zongsheng said no more, waved his hand, and the portal immediately disappeared, and his figure also faded away in front of the Lord of the Third Division.
"Okay, where are you now? Look at the two of you."
Wei Zhiyou, Zhongli, and Gongyang Jing are all old friends for many years, and you can see at a glance what they are thinking in their hearts. "The first round has just begun, and there are two more rounds to come. We should also put down what we left behind."
Got it back."
Gongyang Jing glanced at Wei Zhiyou, but smiled and said nothing.
I'm afraid that someone named Wei is the one who misses him the most.
"I go first."
Without any warning, a giant standing tall on the sky suddenly appeared. His majestic palms held up Gong Yangjing. On the giant's back, there was a towering palace.
However, after taking a few steps forward, he disappeared in an instant.
Zhongli and Wei Zhiyou also left one after another.

Sanhuai Water Village.
A Yinlusi man named Han Xiaowu suddenly appeared in a cramped and dirty alley.
His whole body was tense, his right hand was already pressing the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his consciousness spread out quietly.
"You're lucky, I teleported to a place where no one is around."
Han Xiaowu raised his eyes and observed his location.
Above the head is a transparent pipe intertwined like a spider web. There are several half-dead jellyfish swimming inside. The sluggish spherical blue light bursts out from the body. The flashing and extinguishing appearance adds an unspeakable weirdness to this alley.
.
“What a terrible, disgusting place.”
Han Xiaowu couldn't help but frown, and a pungent stench filled his nose.
I saw a few burnt-yellow skeletons lying crookedly in the ditch, with broken pieces of cloth hanging on their bodies.
These were once the corpses of living people.
Nowadays, it is thrown away casually like garbage.
However, the reason for his frown was——
In a deep alley twenty meters away to the east, more than a hundred corpses of humans and monsters were piled haphazardly into a hill. Densely packed maggots made their homes in the pale skeletons. The stench he smelled also came from this.
"Although five hours seems to be enough, it is particularly tense in this environment. At present, we still need to have accurate information to ensure the safety of the operation." He thought to himself.
Just do whatever you want. Han Xiaowu glanced at the jellyfish and waved them away.
Immediately, leave here quickly.
Situations like this continue to happen everywhere in Sanhuai Water Village.
The first thing almost all Sansi ghosts do when they come to Sanhuai Water Village is to collect intelligence!!
…
…
Tick tock, tick tock~
Clear raindrops fall from the ocean and sky like a line.
One pair of shoes after another stepped through the accumulated puddles.
Li Kui suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowded street, and the rain went straight through his body. More than that, the surrounding pedestrians turned a blind eye to Li Kui's existence. Even if they passed through Li Kui's body, they would not notice.
I noticed something was wrong at all.
The difference between Jing and Wei is clear, as if you are in two worlds.
"Is it raining only in this area?"
Li Kui raised his eyes and glanced at the top of his head.
Monsters and ghosts came and went, holding umbrellas, and still shuttled between the stalls and shops on the left and right with high spirits.
It seems that rain is a common occurrence in this area.
he thought.
"Xiao Tao'er, it's time to pay the health fee this month."
Not far away, a group of strong men with carefree looks came to the stall.
The thin, pretty girl said with an ugly face, "Didn't I just have my birthday this month?"
"That's the monthly stall money."
The strong man laughed maliciously, "What I just said was the health fee."
"Go away, go away!"
Suddenly, I saw an evil ghost jumping onto the eaves and running away in a panic.
The monsters in uniforms behind knocked through the crowd blocking the way and passed through Li Kui's body at extremely fast speeds. The magic weapon in his hand suddenly shot out a spiked iron chain and instantly caught the evil ghost's body.
He dragged him off the roof.
"You really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. You don't care who is covering this place, and you dare to steal things here!"
"kill him!"
Several monsters kicked the evil spirit's vital parts mercilessly.
As for the arrogant strong men just now, they were like good babies, sitting on the tables and chairs of the stall and not daring to make a sound.
Pedestrians on the street also looked as if they were not surprised.
"A perfect social system has been formed."
Although this was not the first time he came to Sanhuai Water Village, the most ordinary and common scene in front of him made Li Kui feel emotional.
This means that the Sanhuai Water Village itself has derived a set of social rules, and it is even a country. Different regions are equivalent to cities, and Feng Yi is the emperor of this country!
Let's go find Xin and Longxuhu first.
Li Kui's figure suddenly disappeared like a bubble.
…
…
Shengle Casino, in the VIP room.
"Boss Zhao~"
"Boss Zhao, let's play again~"
"Oh, why are you so annoying?"
Among the orioles and swallows, a toad demon wearing a floral shirt and black sunglasses puffed away at a pipe and smiled wildly. The beauties beside him had good looks and plump figures.
In this situation, I really fell into a gentle land.
The only thing that is beautiful about it is self-knowledge.
