No wonder Gao Zhuo was so surprised, because standing in front of them was their old acquaintance, Zhang Haisheng.
Even if he turned into ashes, he would recognize this guy, but what makes Xu Tong and others puzzled is, how could he appear in this place?
It is said that Zhang Haisheng's soul was broken into pieces by Xu Tong when he was in Tianmen. Although his body is still alive, his soul is gone, so how could he appear here?
But the face in front of me is indeed Zhang Haisheng.
However, after the other party heard Gao Zhuo's words, his face was full of confusion. He looked at Gao Zhuo carefully and said doubtfully, "Your Excellency is..."
Seeing that Zhang Haisheng didn't recognize him, Gao Zhuo could only look at Xu Tong.
Xu Tong hooked his fingers and picked up the thread of fate on the other person's body.
Through the thread of fate, Xu Tong can see this person's past and future.
After a while, Xu Tong let go of his hand and squinted his eyes to look at the person in front of him: "Your name is Jiang Nian?"
"yes!"
Xu Tong nodded and felt relieved immediately.
"The bright moon rises over the sea, and the river spring enters the old year."
Zhang Haisheng is dead, and the person in front of him is Jiang Nian. Are they related?
It's related, but not much.
To be precise, it was the luck of Qingcheng Mountain that caused Zhang Haisheng's soul to disperse, but he also got an opportunity in the fairy world.
It was just this chance, although it could save him once, but the lack of soul also made Zhang Haisheng's consciousness completely disappear, and the Jiang Nian in front of him was equivalent to Zhang Haisheng's rebirth.
Although he inherited part of Zhang Haisheng's luck, he did not inherit his memory, so it was inevitable that he would not be able to recognize Xu Tong and others.
It's just that he is a soul after all, without a body, and he fell from the nine heavens into the underworld.
If it were anyone else, he would just be a lonely ghost in the city of futile death.
But thanks to Qingcheng Mountain's eight hundred years of luck, this kid was spotted by Du Ziren through some strange combination of circumstances.
Maybe Du Ziren discovered that this boy had great luck, so he took him under his command. Now he is under Du Ziren's account, the Lieutenant Commander of the Chinese Army, and he can be regarded as a seventh-grade Yin officer regardless of his age.
"It's a coincidence, it can be regarded as our cause and effect. It just happens. Just follow me and be a messenger."
With one word, Xu Tong canceled Jiang Nian's original position and brought him under his command.
This is his privilege as the Ghost Emperor, and he does not need to report to Du Ziren. The two are at the same level, and Du Ziren has military power and can command the Yin Cao army.
But since I was at the same level as him, I was naturally able to control the transferred internal affairs powers.
In the past, this kind of thing would have required Du Ziren to negotiate with him to divide the authority, but in this extraordinary period, there was not so much emphasis on it.
Xu Tong called out the space between reality and reality, and summoned all the nightmare cavalry in the space between reality and reality, and gave them to Jiang Nian to lead.
"Take me to see Du Ziren!"
When Jiang Nian heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement and led the team around him to walk ahead to clear the way for Xu Tong.
"Boss, is he Zhang Haisheng? Isn't this guy's soul gone?"
On the way, Gao Zhuo couldn't help but ask.
Xu Tong briefly explained the process to them. After hearing the whole process, Gao Zhuo and his party couldn't help complaining: "What is the chance that this luck will happen to him?"
"It's a pity that if you hadn't cut off his path, with this luck, he would have been the protagonist of this era."
The eldest princess covered her mouth and smiled softly.
Every era has a protagonist.
These people are blessed by great luck and can soar to great heights.
Xu Tong also toyed with the idea of bringing Zhang Haisheng into the team.
Not allowed.
Not only because Zhang Haisheng is not willing to live under others and act as a green leaf, but also because the fate of the two people has too many intersections.
For example, the Nine Immortals Cauldron.
There is no need to say more about how important this treasure is.
If two people are in a team, can Xu Tong seize other people's treasures without giving them to them?
In addition, Zhang Haisheng's luck is too strong, which is different from Li Bo's invincible shit luck.
This kind of person with extremely strong luck should stay away from him, because often the unlucky ones are the people around him.
For example, if a bullet hits two people, even if Zhang Haisheng doesn't dodge, the bullet will eventually hit himself.
On the contrary, this will suppress the development of the entire team.
Invisibly and unintentionally, all kinds of opportunities in the world will be tilted towards him.
Such a team will sooner or later break out into violent conflicts and eventually fall apart.
"Time is destiny, and you can't say who is right or wrong."
Xu Tong could only sigh in his heart, but for the two of them to come together again in this final battle, perhaps it was the fulfillment of God's will, or in other words, it was Xu Tong's repayment of cause and effect.
.
Not long after, after passing through the sea of thousands of sinister soldiers, Du Ziren's palace suddenly appeared in front of him.
Eighteen shady commanders and ghost generals under Du Ziren's command were already waiting for Xu Tong's arrival outside the palace.
Standing in front is none other than Xie Qifanba.
"You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look alone."
After Xu Tong signaled everyone to stay on the battleship, he walked into the palace alone.
Regarding Du Ziren, Xu Tong could not completely trust him.
It's not a distrust of him, but a distrust of the people behind Du Laogui.
Before the truth was revealed, even though he was such a good person for me, I didn't dare to completely believe him.
Who can guarantee that at the last moment, he will not be reduced to an outcast.
"Meet the Emperor!"
The eighteen ghost generals and Yin Shuai all knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
It's just that Xu Tong felt a little unhappy when he saw their expressions.
It's strange that they feel good. They have practiced hard for many years and fought on the battlefield, and they have made countless achievements.
But regarding this great position of Zhengguo, I dare not even have the slightest thought.
However, Xu Tong, a junior, had neither unparalleled merit nor super strength, so he was sent to him abruptly following the decree of the Lord.
Especially when I learned that it was Xu Tong's master who used his destiny edict in exchange for the prince, I couldn't help but feel so angry.
Some of them had met Xue Gui and knew that Xue Gui was the man who inherited the destiny and completely brought the curtain down on the old era. He had endured the torture of destiny and had a rough fate.
If Xue Gui uses the decree of destiny to become the ghost emperor of this side and achieves the five extremes, they will not dare to say anything.
Didn't Du Ziren take the initiative to recruit him because he knew that Xue Gui had the decree of destiny in his hand? He even lent his dragon robe and jade crown to Xue Gui at first. His purpose was to hope that Xue Gui would enlighten him.
Who would have known that at the last moment, Xue Gui would instead send the edict of destiny and ask the prince to confer the title of Ghost Emperor on his good disciple Xu Tong.
But Fujun actually agreed without hesitation at all.
Such a result will inevitably make everyone feel envious and jealous, but also make their teeth itch with hatred.
Xu Tong could clearly see the disdain in everyone's eyes. He just curled his lips, ignored the angry looks of these handsome ghost generals, and walked straight into the palace.
Now, these handsome ghost generals were even more annoyed, because Xu Tong didn't speak, so they could only half-kneel on the ground and wait.
In the palace, Du Ziren was seen staring at the sand table in front of him. When he saw Xu Tong striding in, he immediately frowned, but he soon felt relieved.
I thought to myself: "Looks like I still need to get used to it."
Immediately, a smile appeared on his face: "As soon as we said goodbye that day, I felt that you were a person. Who would have thought that when we meet again, we will already belong to the same party."
Xu Tong heard his master talk about Du Ziren many times, but he only really saw Du Ziren once in the underworld. In his memory, the bad-tempered Ghost Emperor slapped Po Meng on the face in public.
But it gave him a lot of bad breath.
Because of this, I can't say that I have much fondness for Du Ziren, but it's not to the extent of having any resentment.
"Senior's demeanor back then is still fresh in my younger generation's memory. Now I just borrowed the power of my master's sect and was lucky enough to be favored by the prince. If there are any deficiencies, please give me some help from senior."
"Hahaha, brother Xu, we are on the same level now, let's just say we are on the same level. Please sit down."
The two of them were polite for a while, but then Du Ziren stopped talking nonsense and said straight to the point: "The army is ready and will move to the upper battlefield soon. Guixu Mountain must be captured."
Having said this, Du Ziren looked at Xu Tong: "What we were fighting for at the beginning was the key to Yinxu Mountain. This key later fell into your hands. Now the gods regard you as a traitor, and the God of Death seems to be looking for you too."
Are you sure you want to enter the battlefield together?"
Du Ziren's words are already obvious at this point.
If Xu Tong gives him the key, he won't have to participate in the battle at Guixu Mountain and can find a cooler place to rest.
After all, anyone can meet him. The upper battlefield is destined to be a huge melee. Even Du Ziren cannot guarantee that he will have the last laugh.
"In this way, senior can lead the army to charge, and I will follow the army and charge into Guixu Mountain."
Unexpectedly, Xu Tong didn't answer his question at all. Instead, he changed his voice and decided the direction directly over Du Ziren.
At this time, Du Ziren couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I always heard Xue Gui say that this guy is very naughty, but I finally saw it today.
"It's just...what exactly is it at the foot of Guixu Mountain? What if we grab it?"
Seeing that Du Ziren had no intention of opposing him, Xu Tong immediately hit the snake with a stick and asked.
This is the purpose of Xu Tong coming here.
Through fate, I saw the tip of the iceberg in Guixu Mountain, which was a huge altar.
Perhaps as the rumors say, it is the creation altar of the God of Death, which can completely integrate the mirror world and reality.
Now the gods are fighting, and the God of Death is also fighting. The purpose of the two can be understood, it is nothing more than offense and defense, but what is the purpose of the underworld? This is what Xu Tong wants to know.
Seeing Xu Tong's straightforward question, Du Ziren narrowed his eyelids, took out a decree from his sleeve and handed it to him.
When Xu Tong took a look, he saw that the divine power of the decree was flowing, and there were flashing cloud patterns on it. This was the real decree of the emperor.
Seeing this, Xu Tong took a deep breath, took the decree in his hand, carefully opened a corner, and squinted his eyes to look inside.
I saw two words written on the blank decree: "Destroy!"
