Xiao Yi and others were placed in a dilapidated house. There were still signs of fire outside, but once inside, it was magnificent and extraordinarily gorgeous.
Of course, these are all fake, created from the ghost realm, but as long as you don’t use your own strength to see through them, you won’t be able to spot them.
With no one from Yinhuo City around, Xiao Yi and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, it was the first time for them to do this kind of thing. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still a little stressed.
They are not as mentally strong as Gu Cheng, who can still play tricks in front of Fang Zhenhai without being prepared.
"Brother Gu, what should we do now?" Xiao Yi contacted Gu Cheng through Xingui.
Although they have entered Yinhuo City with Xu Xiao's approval, this is only the first step. There are still many things to do next.
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. From now on, I will forget my identity and just think that I am sincerely loyal to Xu Xiao. I will do everything for the benefit of the entire Yinhuo City. I will work hard to perform meritorious service and make myself a leader in Yinhuo City."
Stand firm.
Although you have now become the seventh vanguard of Yinhuo City, it is just a way for the superiors to win over people's hearts. Your current status is far from being a confidant that Xu Xiao can truly trust.
The ghosts in Yinhuo City will not go to the ground easily. Xu Xiao is a smart person, or he is a smart ghost.
He knew that a big tree attracts wind. If he took the initiative too much, it would be easy for Jingyesi to send strong men to destroy it.
So he only traded with the Yuan Chen Sect to get the soul crystals he wanted, and the only area that the entire Yin Fire City needed to conquer was the land of Yin.
It's not okay to kill people wantonly, but the ghosts born in that land of darkness are not good things. You try to be more positive so that you can accumulate merit.
If there are any ghosts that cannot be solved, please contact me and I will cooperate with you to kill them."
Xiao Yi and others nodded. The environment they were facing now was actually much simpler than what Gu Cheng had faced back then.
In the ghost realm of this land of darkness, these ghosts are basically fighting irrationally, either devouring stronger ghosts of the same kind, or completely losing their souls.
Ghosts like those under Xu Xiao's Yinhuo City who have regained some of their sanity are rare.
Gu Cheng left his inner ghost to Xiao Yi and let him fight there, while he kept an eye on the movements of the entire Nieyang Mansion Wulin and the Yuan Chen Sect to prevent the Yuan Chen Sect from feeling something was wrong.
In the next few days, Xiao Yi followed what Hu Cheng said and simply forgot about everything. As if he was extremely loyal to Xu Xiao, he led his men to expand the territory of Yinhuo City in the land of Yinming.
Killed a lot of ghosts.
In Yinhuo City, Xu Xiao sat on the Bone Throne. Looking at the news coming from below, Xu Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said to Ren Qianshui beside him:
"You suspected that there was something wrong with Zhang Xiaoyi and the others before, but now you see it, right? They are sincerely working for Yinhuo City and me, and they even work harder than those old ghosts who have their own agendas."
Ren Qianshui frowned. During this period, he also sent someone to observe the other party. Indeed, the other party did not show any flaws. On the contrary, he performed perfectly.
But the more this happened, the more awkward he felt.
Turning his dim and turbid eyes, Ren Qianshui suddenly thought of something. He said to Xu Xiao: "My lord, why don't you send them to deal with the Bone General? If they succeed, then they will be worthy of trust."
Xu Xiao frowned and said, "But the Bone General's strength is comparable to that of a sixth-grade peak warrior. Even if it is very difficult for the three of them to go together, I am afraid that this trip will cause too much damage."
Ren Qianshui smiled coldly and said: "We only let them go because of the difficulty and danger.
If they shirk the blame and refuse, or retreat halfway, it proves that they are not truly loyal to the Lord and do not work sincerely for Yinhuo City. They must have evil intentions!
On the other hand, if they risked their lives to strangle the Bone General, even if they were defeated, it would prove their loyalty."
Xu Xiao frowned, still feeling something was wrong.
However, Ren Qianshui was his confidant general. He had been with him for more than four hundred years, and he had always worked for him loyally. He could not refuse, fearing to offend the other party's heart.
So Xu Xiao had to say: "Okay, but just this time, if I go too far and force the people who come to seek refuge, the reputation of my Yinhuo City will be lost."
When the Yinhuo City meeting was held on the second night, Ren Qianshui chuckled in his hoarse voice: "The seventh vanguard led by Xiao Yi has made a lot of contributions to our Yinhuo City recently.
I discussed it with the adults. The White Bone General has been dancing a lot recently. Many White Bone Demons have come out from the deeper areas of the Netherworld. They are getting worse and worse. They should be dealt with. I will leave this matter to Xiao Yi.
You go."
Before coming to Yinhuo City, Xiao Yi and others had already learned most of the news about this land of Yin and Darkness from Cao Yinjiu.
This Bone General is older than Xu Xiao and is a general who died here six hundred years ago.
There was no resentment left when he died, but he only carried a secret treasure with a Yin attribute on his body.
More than five hundred years have passed like this, and the Yin-attributed secret treasure has continued to absorb the Yin energy, which allowed him to crawl out of the ground and shape his ghost body out of white bones.
The opponent's strength is comparable to the peak of the sixth grade. It is indeed very difficult to deal with. With the strength of Xiao Yi and others, it is almost impossible to defeat him.
But because Gu Cheng was behind him, Xiao Yi didn't even think about it, and stood up pretending to be extremely loyal and said: "Yes, sir!"
Ren Qianshui's face showed a strange look, as if he didn't expect Xiao Yi and others to agree so easily.
At this time, Ding Ben suddenly stood up and said: "Three-headed old ghost, are you too bully? Don't you know the strength of General Bones? By doing this, aren't you asking Xiao Yi and others to die?"
Xiao Yi rescued Ding Ben. This simple-minded zombie only knew that he owed Xiao Yi and the others a favor, so he stood up and spoke for them without any scruples.
Ren Qianshui snorted coldly: "What do you know? Xiao Yi took over the task without any objection, so why are you talking too much?"
Ding Ben was immediately furious, and his whole body was shining with evil aura. At this time, Xu Xiao suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"
Powerful Yin Qi pressure descended on the entire Yinhuo City, and the level of suppression of ghosts was much higher than the level of suppression between practitioners. At this moment, all ghosts did not dare to make a sound.
"If you dare to make any noise again, you will go to the Yin Fire Furnace and suffer the pain of soul forging!"
Seeing that everyone was dead, Xu Xiao asked Xiao Yi again: "This mission is indeed a bit dangerous. If you don't want to take it, it doesn't matter. I will send someone else."
Xiao Yi shook his head and said: "I was a lonely ghost before, with no place to live, and it was only because of your care that we are where we are today.
As long as your Excellency assigns you a task, we have absolutely no reason to refuse it."
Xu Xiao nodded with satisfaction. Xiao Yi's attitude was very helpful to him. It made him feel like he had returned to the scene where he responded to everything when he was the governor five hundred years ago.
Gu Cheng also looked at Xu Xiao from the perspective of a ghost at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
After knowing Xu Xiao's background, Gu Cheng also tried his best to find some information about the war between the Ten Kingdoms five hundred years ago and check it out.
After reading it, Gu Cheng realized why South Korea fell into Da Gan's counter-intentional scheme. It was not only because the people in South Korea were stupid, but also because Xu Xiao was too arrogant.
Five hundred years ago, when he was stationed on the border between the two countries, this being could be called the king of the country. The power of the Jiedushi was astonishing.
The appointment and dismissal of officials within the sphere of influence, taxation, etc. were all owned by Jiedushi.
That was all. The other military envoys in Korea were like this at that time, but this one was very domineering. He would kill officials sent by the imperial court at will without any scruples at all.
Moreover, he also had a lot of dissatisfaction with the government and some of the upper-class figures at that time. He believed that they were too stupid to do things that led to South Korea not being as good as it should be. He even uttered arrogant words after drinking on one occasion about what he should do if he were to govern South Korea. .
Therefore, even if there was no counter-intentional plan of Da Gan at that time, the Korean royal family was already quite dissatisfied with him.
Five hundred years have passed. Not only has this person's character not changed, but it seems that because he has become a ghost, his character has become even more paranoid.
After returning to his residence, Xiao Yi asked Gu Cheng: "Brother Gu, how should we deal with this Bone General?"
Gu Cheng said: "This time I personally enter this land of darkness to take action. You are responsible for luring out the Bone General, and then asking others to guard the surroundings strictly so that no one sees us joining forces."
Xiao Yi hesitated and said: "But the yin energy and ghost energy in this dark land are too strong, will it have any impact if living people enter?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I am a dual practitioner of martial arts and qi refining. One of the qi refining techniques is of the yin attribute. I can freely convert the aura attributes. Those yin qi and ghost qi cannot hurt me.
Moreover, even if you have never practiced Yin attribute skills, there is no big problem in using Gang Qi to protect your body when you reach my level. It is just that a part of Gang Qi needs to be left to resist the erosion of ghost Qi, so the speed of consumption of Gang Qi is very fast. It will also speed up.”
In fact, in such a large land of darkness, if Xu Xiao had not been there, Gu Cheng would have really intended to enter it and explore it on a large scale.
Gu Cheng's current level of cultivation in Qi refining is only at the seventh level. He went to that netherworld to strangle all the ghosts. He doesn't know if he can take this opportunity to step into the sixth level of Qi refining.
Nie Yang's house arranged everything, and Xiao Yi also set off. After making sure that no one was following him, Gu Cheng also walked through the portal where Xiao Yi and the others entered last time, and stepped into the land of darkness.
