There is no doubt that the scene shown in the nine-story purple pagoda is none other than Ji Tianxing and Yunyao, who are thousands of miles away.
The Blood Demon King looked at the three people in the picture, his eyes fixed on Ji Tianxing, with a strong sense of bloodlust in his eyes.
"Grandma Ghost, that boy is very important to me. According to the news reported by the high priest, that boy seems to have obtained the Sky Star Bead and is inextricably related to the Sword God!"
"I need your help to find out whether that boy has the Heavenly Star Bead on him or not!"
Granny Ghost looked at Ji Tianxing in the screen with a ghostly gaze, and nodded slightly.
"Just these three juniors dare to break into Yanling City. They really don't know how to live or die!"
Having said this, Granny Ghost paused and asked in a puzzled tone: "However, you have been looking for the Tianxing Bead for the past hundred years, and you have used all means to do so. Why?"
The Blood Demon King hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I have investigated before, and it is said that a drop of the Sword God's blood is sealed in the Sky Star Bead."
"If I get the Sky Star Pearl, I can offer it to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, and use the divine blood of the Sword God to restore His Majesty's vitality!"
"Moreover, the inheritance of the Sword God can save us demons and enable us to practice like normal people and avoid turning into ugly and hideous monsters!"
Granny Ghost was startled for a moment, then suddenly grinned, "This is a big problem. The true form of your demon clan is indeed too ugly, hahaha..."
The Blood Demon King lowered his head and glared at her, and said solemnly: "Then don't you look ugly?"
The ghost mother-in-law shook her head and said in a playful tone: "I was also as beautiful as a flower back then. Otherwise, how could I have charmed you? Make you prostrate yourself under my pomegranate skirt?"
The Blood Demon King rolled his eyes silently and made no comment.
Moreover, seeing Granny Gui now looking like a human and a ghost, he didn't want to say anything more.
Granny Ghost naturally understood this, and said with some emotion: "Oh, it's a pity that if you want to gain stronger power and master methods that are close to those of gods, you must make sacrifices."
When the Blood Demon King heard the complicated tone in her words, he suddenly felt the same and his mood became calm.
He bent down, reached out and patted Granny Ghost on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Grandma Ghost, don't think so much, do business first!"
The ghost granny said "Hmm", and then grabbed a handful of withered yellow straw from the sleeves of her wide and greasy robe.
If you look closely, you will find that they are sixteen simple-looking scarecrows, each about the size of a palm.
The old lady placed the sixteen scarecrows in a row on the table, and took out sixteen dark yellow charms from her sleeves.
She held the talisman between the index and middle fingers of her left hand, and waved the snake-headed crutch with her right hand, creating streaks of green light, while she muttered secret spells.
"I have been filled with hatred for many tribulations throughout my life, and after my death I was unable to turn into a lonely soul. Now I am ordered to go out of the sky and turn into a resentful spirit to return to my body!"
After reciting, she attached the charm in her left hand to the body of a scarecrow.
Suddenly, the spell ignited a green fire, wrapped the scarecrow and flew out of the secret room, landing in the outdoor courtyard.
"Whoosh!"
The scarecrow wrapped in the ghostly fire immediately turned into a skinny man two meters tall, wearing a black robe, standing motionless in the courtyard.
This skinny man in black robe, his body and face were hidden in the black robe. He seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness and couldn't see clearly at all.
The only thing that could be seen was a pair of green light spots in the black robe, which seemed to be the eyes of the man in black robe, and also looked like two groups of ghostly fire.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady used her secret technique again and attached a spell to the second scarecrow.
"Whoosh!"
The second skinny man in black robe appeared in the courtyard, standing motionless, exuding the cold breath of death.
Next, as Granny Ghost continued to use her secret skills, men in black robes appeared one after another.
The third, the fourth, the fifth...
After a short while, the sixteen scarecrows were affixed with talismans and secret spells were cast, and they turned into sixteen men in black robes.
Granny Ghost held the spell in her left hand and shook her snake-head crutch with her right hand, as if giving some kind of order.
Suddenly, the sixteen motionless men in black robes all jumped out of the yard with a "swish", running through the streets and alleys like ghosts, and rushed out of the city.
After all the sixteen men in black robes had left, Granny Ghost put away her left hand, which was as dry as a chicken's claw, and said, "Okay, let's wait here for the good news."
The Blood Demon King witnessed the process of her casting the spell with his own eyes and couldn't help but grin. "Ghost Granny, I haven't seen you for many years. Your soul-cursing secret technique is getting more and more sophisticated."
Granny Ghost chuckled in a dry voice: "Haha, it's just a small trick, just wait and see the good show."
…
It was dusk at this time, the sun had set, and night was about to fall.
The spiritual beast White Crane flew continuously for five hours, and finally reached the vicinity of Yanling City across more than two thousand miles.
In the dim sky, the crane was hovering over a grassland.
Ji Tianxing, Yunyao and Long Yunxiao were standing on the back of the crane, overlooking the grassland from above.
Long Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, looked at Yun Yao in front of him, and asked: "Are you in Yanling City?"
Yun Yao did not answer, so Ji Tianxing explained: "The grassland below is the entrance to Yanling City. Usually Yanling City is shrouded in a large formation and cannot be seen at all."
Long Yunxiao nodded and said nothing more.
After a while, the spirit crane circled in the air several times and slowly landed on the grassland with a gust of raging wind.
The three of them jumped from the back of the crane onto the grassland, and Yunyao used a secret technique to collect the crane into the jade pendant.
Ji Tianxing stood in the lush grassland and looked around, looking for the entrance stone.
Yunyao and Long Yunxiao were both silent, looking around secretly.
The light was dim, the grassland was completely silent, and there was a faint hint of coldness.
Ji Tianxing searched around and saw the entrance stone tablet, just a hundred meters ahead.
He was about to take Yunyao and Long Yunxiao there, but at this moment, more than a dozen wisps of ghostly fire suddenly appeared in the grass behind him.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the blink of an eye, a dozen skinny men in black robes appeared out of thin air on the empty grass.
Each man in black robes was cold and deathly silent, exuding the cold breath of death, as if they were evil ghosts from the netherworld.
They appeared silently, without any hesitation in their movements, and rushed towards Ji Tianxing as fast as the wind.
Although none of the men in black robes had weapons in their hands, their hands were filled with dark claws that glowed coldly, and were as long and sharp as daggers. They were not human hands at all.
Sixteen men in black robes immediately surrounded Ji Tianxing, stretched out their cold claws, and clawed at every vital part of his body.
At that moment, Ji Tianxing felt a cold wind blowing against his face, and his whole body was as cold as ice.
Yunyao and Long Yunxiao also realized that something was wrong, and immediately their expressions changed and they spoke to remind him.
