"Haha, Brother Yu is impatient. Fellow Taoist, just think carefully." Although Yuwen Zhouyuan did not agree immediately, agreeing to consider it was enough to make Ye Nanshan happy, and he even started chatting with him affectionately, hoping to get him involved.
relationship between the two parties.
From time to time, Yuwen Zhouyuan would tell some strange stories about Mo Yang Realm, which seemed very novel to him, and the time passed quickly.
Squeak, the door outside was pushed open, and two men and a woman walked in.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, fellow Daoist Miao, sit here." The person leading the way was Gu Tianhe from Ruyi Palace, and behind him were a man and a woman, both of whom looked very arrogant.
The man had a dignified appearance and regular facial features, except for a big flat nose, which made him look a bit sinister.
As for the woman, she was about thirty, with an extremely plump figure and decent appearance.
The cultivation of both of them is in the late stage of real life. Judging from their expressions, they seem to be a pair of monks.
Not one of the eight real-life monks who participated in the auction was left behind, and they all gathered here.
After the man and woman sat down, Gu Tianhe bowed to each other: "Thank you, seniors, for coming. I'll..."
"Stop talking nonsense, why did you invite us to gather in Ruyi Palace? If you can't give a satisfactory explanation, Duan will be rude." Sitting in the middle of Yuwen Zhouyuan's hands, wearing apricot yellow Taoist robes
The young monk spoke with a sinister look on his face.
"What Fellow Daoist Duan said is true. When your Ruyi Palace invited us to participate in the auction, you said that there was a ghost servant as the finale. Why did it disappear in the end? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Another person said.
A thin monk with a dark face also interjected unkindly.
Although the other real-life monks didn't say anything, their eyes flickered and their faces showed unkindness.
Being stared at by so many high-level monks, Gu Tianhe remained unhurried, as if he had already prepared a plan, and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Taoists, please calm down, our business in Ruyi Palace has always been based on integrity.
How dare I give out false news to deceive all the masters? It’s just those ghost servants who made mistakes along the way.”
"Something went wrong?" someone else said.
Gu Tianhe sighed and said: "Yes. To be honest with you fellow Taoists, the ghosts in Diyin City are becoming more and more cunning now. It is quite difficult to capture them. I also spent a lot of money to finally acquire them."
Got so many bad ghosts."
"You don't need to say any more words of complaint. Which one of us here would be confused?" Ye Nanshan frowned and interrupted his words.
Speaking of the Yin City, the layout is indeed very different from the one when it was first created thousands of years ago. At that time, these ghosts had just escaped from the ghost realm of the Yin Division to the human world, and they were in disarray. However, later in the battle with the human monks
, gradually united and formed three major forces headed by three ghost commanders.
And the magical power of this ghost commander is extraordinary and can rival the true master-level monks of human beings.
Moreover, these ghosts will not easily leave the underworld city, and sometimes they will even form ambushes in groups around them. Often, the human monks who capture the ghosts will get nothing, and instead they will be robbed by the other party.
Therefore, this is now a very risky activity, and the price of ghost servant land on the black market is getting more and more expensive.
"Originally, I really wanted to sell these ghost servants at this auction. Who knew they were kidnapped halfway?" Gu Tianhe said.
"Taken away! Who did this?" The male cultivator with a flat nose who came in last said with a look of surprise on his face.
You must know that although Ruyi Palace is just a chamber of commerce, it has been inherited for tens of thousands of years and its strength is unfathomable. There are not many forces who dare to steal goods from their hands.
"It's not us human monks, but ghost generals." Gu Tianhe sighed with hatred.
"Ghost general?" The monks present were shocked, with a hint of horror on their faces.
Although in terms of strength, a monster of the same level as a ghost general is equivalent to a cultivator in the real-life stage. However, the opponent's treasures and magical powers are very strange. If there is a fight, only ten out of ten humans of the same level will die with hatred.
end.
"Then why are you looking for us? You don't want us to stand up for you and snatch back those ghost servants?" Ye Nanshan said with a look of displeasure on his face. Since it was the ghost generals in Diyin City who took action, could it be possible?
Even chasing the opponent's lair, even a true master-level monk would not dare to be so arrogant.
"Fellow Taoist, I have misunderstood. How could this junior have such a whim and let you take such a strange risk? According to the information we have, the cave where the ghost general lives is not in Diyin City, but a hundred miles away from here."
A mountain col." Gu Tianhe has a well-thought-out approach.
"Mountain Col?" Except for Yuwen Zhouyuan who remained calm, several other people showed expressions of joy. There were some ghosts who had great magical powers and were unwilling to live in the safe Diyin City.
As for the placement of caves in human territory, this situation is only a little rarer, but it is not impossible to happen.
"If you're not in Diyin City, then this will be easy to handle. Do you know what the other party's rank is?" The beautiful middle-aged woman in her early thirties couldn't help but interrupt.
Gu Tianhe nodded: "Back to fellow Taoist, we have found out clearly that the other party is a high-grade ghost general."
"High-grade ghost general, this is a bit tricky. Theoretically, his cultivation level is equivalent to that of a real late-stage monk, but his weird magical powers and magic weapons, his actual strength is even better. It is enough to rival the masters of the Dzogchen realm, and we are here
Among the Taoist friends, the highest ones are only around the late stage of real life." The man with a flat nose spoke hesitantly.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, there is no need to belittle yourselves. Although the strength of that evil beast is indeed very high, he is just a solitary man. As long as fellow Taoists work together, it will be just a piece of cake to destroy him." Gu Tianhe quickly laughed and praised him.
said in an encouraging tone.
"Let's not talk about this for now. If things come to pass, what benefits can Ruyi Palace give us?" Ye Nanshan's words pointed out the key, and everyone's faces showed concern.
"The batch of ghost servants that were snatched away, there are eight in total. How about one for each of the seniors here?" Gu Tianhe said to everyone.
The room suddenly became quiet, and all the real-life cultivators were secretly calculating in their hearts. To be fair, the reward was already quite high. A ghost servant at the level of a fierce ghost, in terms of strength, was equivalent to a real-life cultivator, and the price on the market was high.
Tens of thousands of spirit stones are nothing unusual.
However, the man with the flat nose snorted and sneered: "Haha, Ruyi Palace is indeed the largest business alliance in the Muyang Realm. This business is indeed done shrewdly. For a mere ghost servant, we have to take risks.
It’s dangerous to deal with ghosts like ghost generals.”
Gu Tianhe was furious in his heart. He was just a ghost, but this guy was not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue. That was something worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones. The other party's deliberate belittling was obviously for blackmail.
However, although he was angry in his heart, Gu Tianhe was still smiling on the surface. He still wanted to ask for help from the other party, so naturally he could not be malicious. Moreover, the person named Zheng was a late cultivator in the real world. Even the Ruyi Palace was not willing to take it easy.
Offend someone with this kind of cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng is right. Let's do this. In addition to the ghost servants, I will give each of you five thousand spiritual stones as a gift. Is this price acceptable?" Gu Tianhe gritted his teeth and suggested with a face filled with pain.
Who can reach the stage of real life, who is not an old fox who has experienced great storms, and deeply understands the principle of accepting it when it is good. The price is already very rich, and they cannot be greedy anymore. After all, Ruyi Palace is not an opponent that they can blackmail.
So everyone nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I would like to thank you all seniors. It's getting late today, so please rest here. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off to the ghost general's cave again." Gu Tianhe thanked him with a face full of joy.
Then Gu Tianhe clapped his hands, and four pairs of young and beautiful maids came in from outside the house. Although their cultivation was average, they were indeed worthy of being beautiful and delicious.
"Let's take some seniors down to rest." Gu Tianhe said to the girls.
"Yes!" the maids agreed, and then respectfully led the way, while the real-life monks filed out and took them to a small hut outside the bamboo forest.
"Fellow Taoist Yuwen, don't forget the advice I gave you." Before leaving, Ye Nanshan did not forget to give Yuwen Zhouyuan some serious advice.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will naturally consider it carefully." Yuwen Zhouyuan cupped his fists and saluted, and then Ye Nanshan left with great satisfaction.
Watching his back disappear, Yuwen Zhouyuan showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that he was not from this world, how could he join the sect here, but there was no need to quarrel with the other party, anyway, what was going on here
After that, everyone went their separate ways.
"You can go down now." Yuwen Zhouyuan glanced at the maid beside him and said.
"Yes!" The maid said with a blessing, then turned around and retreated respectfully.
Yuwen Zhouyuan pushed the door open and walked into the room. He found that the room was not big, but it was very elegant, clean and tidy. He couldn't help but show satisfaction on his face.
Then he released his consciousness and checked the entire room and its surroundings. He found nothing strange or inappropriate.
This is also expected. Since Ruyi Palace has requests from them, they will naturally not do anything in their residence. Yuwen Zhouyuan checked them just in case, and be careful not to make any big mistakes.
Then Yuwen Zhouyuan took out an array forbidden talisman from his arms, set up a simple array outside the room, and walked in.
Because he would have to fight against the ghost general tomorrow, it was most important to restore his strength to its peak now, so Yuwen Zhouyuan sat cross-legged on the cloud bed indoors and meditated without thinking.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was wandering in the ether, forgetting things and himself, when a ray of red light broke through the simple formation he had set up with the formation spirit talisman and flew in.
As the red light flew in, Yuwen Zhouyuan was suddenly shocked and opened his eyes. He raised his hand to grab the flying red light, and found that it was actually the transmission note sent by Yuwen to Wan.
"Brother, come and save me!" Yuwen's anxious cry for help to Anhui came from the telegraph.
"Not good!" Hearing Yuwen's cry for help to Wan, Yuwen Zhouyuan flew out of the room, then shot out an earth escape talisman and rushed towards the ground.
When he reappeared, Yuwen Zhouyuan had already entered a dark fog, and he happened to see Yuwen Xiangwan about to be killed by a late-stage Zhenyuan fierce ghost under the opponent's ghost sword.
Without thinking, Yuwen Zhouyuan released his teleporting flying sword to block the ghost sword, and then he came to Yuwen Xiangwan's side in a flash, raising his hands to hug her crumbling body.
