The Hell Army was now only three kilometers away from Liangjie Mountain, and every Yin Soul in the army was in high spirits because the Yin Army they killed were retreating steadily.
In order to buy time for Xiao Yu and the others, General Ninth deliberately retreated steadily and attracted their opponents to the foot of Two Realms Mountain.
At the top of the ninth peak, General Ninth was walking around on a raised platform.
"Come here, continue to contact the soldiers in the trapped city, quickly."
Ever since Qinglong sent the information to the other party, the Ninth General has been restless. It has been several hours since he heard the information coming back. He sent a message to Qinglong, but no one responded.
"Sir, the information cannot be sent in to the trapped city now. It has been five hours since the last intelligence was transmitted. I suspect that the trapped city has opened the city protection circle, blocking the incoming intelligence."
Behind the Ninth General, another general quickly began to analyze.
"Message communication was interrupted. This has not happened for a hundred years. General Cheng is right. It must be that the magic circle was activated, blocking the incoming messages!
Now the Hell Army is approaching the city. If the trapped city magic circle is activated, they will have no army reinforcements, and the news will not be sent to the trapped city. We might as well fight to the end and annihilate them all.
If we retreat and lose the Nine Peaks, the Yin Division will face disaster."
An old woman looked solemn, stepped forward, and analyzed the situation to the general.
"If the magic circle is activated in the trapped city, it means that some Yin people have already fought with the city lord. If we don't rescue them now, they may never come back."
Gui Zhan heard that Xiao Yu and the others were in danger before and wanted to rescue them, but General Nine did not agree and now he advised them again.
"How dare you, as a captain, when will it be your turn to give your thumbs up on this important matter in the army?
If a wanderer is trapped, if we send strong men to rescue him, wouldn't his life be wasted if he is trapped?
It's okay if a few wanderers die, but if the Ninth Peak is lost, won't the entire Yin Division have to be buried with them?
If they have the ability to seize the trapped city, Lord Yan will reward them, so you'd better be your captain and don't get involved."
As soon as Gui Zhan finished speaking, he was scolded by an old man, but he still argued without any fear.
"If we don't save today, if the news spreads, I'm afraid no one will come to the Ninth Peak to help in the battle, and then our Ninth Peak will become the laughing stock of the Two Realms Mountains.
If you don't save me, I will lead the ghost fighting team to rescue you. Life and death are determined by destiny."
After Gui Zhan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked out without any hesitation.
"You are really rebelling. You are rebelling."
The old man didn't give him any face when he saw Gui Zhan, and his face turned red and his neck was thick with anger.
"Well, he has that temper. Why do you care about your age with a junior?
What Gui Zhan said is not unreasonable. The Yin Traveler and the Yin Division share the same enemy and accepted the mission to seize the trapped city. It is indeed unjustifiable for us to refuse to save him now!"
When General Ninth saw the two ghosts arguing, he immediately tried to persuade them.
"Gu Gu, it's up to you to take the ghost warriors and them to pick up the Yin people. Once they escape from the trapped city, you will immediately cover their return.
Everyone else, prepare to fight. You have been cowardly for several days and it’s time to stretch your muscles and bones.”
Naturally, the others had no objections to the Ninth General's proposal and immediately nodded in agreement.
Everyone split up to mobilize their troops. Only the old man named Gu Gu did not take action immediately. He just asked the kid to send a message and let the ghost fight go first. However, he himself led his men and was a little slow on the pretext of having something to do.
.
"Send a letter to the nearest city and give it to a disciple of the Ghost Sect, the sooner the better!
Remember, never let anyone know."
The old man quickly folded the letter in his hand twice and handed it to his trusted aide, the ghost soldier.
"yes……"
The ghost soldier flew away, but the old man was thinking about it, and then he took out another letter and gave it to another ghost soldier, asking him to pass it on.
"The city defense formation has been opened. Even the ghost commander will not be able to escape easily. If you let me go, isn't it clear that I will die!"
People from all sides of the Underworld began to move, and the Hell side was also very excited at this time.
In the mountains outside the trapped city, a soldier riding a wolf-shaped soul beast was quickly crossing the mountains and rivers, heading towards the hell army.
"All soldiers listen to my order, seize the ninth peak, and kill to the Yin Division.
After capturing the ninth peak, each person will be rewarded with a mansion, a hundred soul stones, and fifty jars of fine wine."
General Langtou stood in the military camp, looking at his group of generals, and said energetically.
"Okay...I'll kill them today and leave no trace behind."
A group of ghost kings were holding drinks and shouted loudly as if they had been given blood.
But at this moment, a ghost soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the tent.
"Report, the little devil who delivered the letter came back overnight and said that he would report it if necessary."
After the guard at the door entered the tent, he knelt down and reported loudly.
“The messenger boy?
Yesterday I asked him to go back and deliver the good news to the city lord, but I didn’t expect him to come back so soon. It seems that the city lord’s reward has come, so let him come in.”
The leader, the wolf-headed general, waved his hand carelessly, and the soldiers standing below quickly sat on the stools on both sides of the tent.
As soon as everyone sat down, a kid carrying a bag hurried in.
"General Qi, something bad has happened. Something serious has happened."
As soon as the kid came in, he quickly bowed his head.
"Why are you panicking? Get up and talk."
The wolf-headed general waved his hand, and a ghostly aura flew out, directly lifting the kid up.
"General, I was ordered to return to the city to deliver information, but the city cannot be entered, and the city defense formation has been activated..."
"What did you say, the city defense formation is activated?
The only one that corresponds to our trapped city is the Ninth Peak. Their troops are suppressed here. Who has such great ability to let the city lord activate the city protection circle?"
After hearing the kid's report, General Langtou obviously didn't believe it, and asked in a deep voice with some doubts.
The other ghost kings below also stood up, as if they couldn't believe it.
"The younger one didn't enter the city. He just heard from the ghosts who escaped from the city that there were ghosts taking over the city. I don't know the specific situation."
The kid stood nearby, trembling, as if he was very scared.
"The evildoer seizes the city?
This is impossible. There are still more than a dozen ghost kings in the city. It is impossible for them to ignore this matter. You must be lying!
Tell me, are you sent by the Underworld to spread rumors and make us withdraw?"
The wolf-headed general's body tilted forward slightly, and in his black and white eyes, there was a wisdom that made people dare not look directly.
"No, it seems that I am definitely not lying. Please let me know, General."
The kid was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thump, his body trembling slightly like yours.
"Hmph, our morale is at its peak. We are about to seize the ninth peak and achieve great achievements. You dare to spread rumors. You should be killed."
The wolf-headed general snorted coldly, then waved his hand, and a ghostly aura flew out, directly caught the kid, and flew out.
"General, I didn't lie. It's all true. It's all true."
The little ghost tried his best to beg for mercy, but what awaited him was torture to extract a confession, and his voice was miserable, which put the other messenger ghosts in the military camp at risk.
