Luo Sheng looked at Soldier A and Soldier B and said, âSpeak, what important matters do you need to report?â
Soldier A and Soldier B then took small steps forward and whispered in his ear:
âLord Luo, weâve discovered a secret of Fengdu Ghost City. The former lord, Wang Yuan, Lord Wang Yuanping, who was also the former Yin King of Fengdu Ghost City, is imprisoned beneath the ghost city.â
âOh? Is that so?â
Luo Sheng was stunned upon hearing this, his eyes questioning.
Soldier A nodded vigorously, repeatedly assuring him: âLord Luo, everything Iâm saying is true. Weâve secretly gone down there, so weâve seen the former Yin King.
Heâs imprisoned in a hidden dungeon. Although we didnât see his figure, Iâm familiar with the Yin Kingâs aura.
Back then, it was he who recruited us into the ghost city to become ghost soldiers. But after the Golden King took office, we never saw him again.
As for the Yin Kingâs old subordinates, I dare to guess, they were all quietly eliminated by the Golden King, which is how the Golden King was able to firmly control Fengdu Ghost City.â
Soldier B also chimed in:
âYes, yes, I remember that even the squad leader was replaced, and I never saw him again after that. He was originally a subordinate of the Yin King.â
Listening to them speak one after another.
Luo Sheng felt that Fengdu Ghost City had a big secret.
The story here was like layers upon layers of complexity.
âIs this the legendary power game in the underworld?â He marveled inwardly.
However, he didnât know if the Yin King was good or bad.
Although the enemy of an enemy is a friend, the Yin King was also a ghost, and a warlord of the underworld, so his own good and evil nature was questionable.
As Luo Sheng was pondering.
Soldier A and Soldier B suddenly gave him a reason he couldnât refuse to save someone:
âLord Luo, we speculate that the Yin King knows why the world has become the way it is now.
Before him, the world of the living and the underworld operated normally, but after the heaven and earth changed, the Yin King disappeared.â
After being told this by Soldier A and Soldier B.
Luo Sheng immediately became interested. The person still needed to be saved, mainly to understand the cause of this world.
Especially after the battle with the ghost infant, who possessed the power of darkness.
It made him want to know even more about the secrets of Bai Moxueâs world, and how the power of darkness was formed.
Luo Sheng vaguely captured that there was a huge event existing between the card world and the real world, or rather, all worlds were heading towards degeneration and darkness.
This concerned not only the fate of the cards but also his own fate.
So he had to understand everything.
âAlright, Iâll go now.â
Then Luo Sheng turned his head and said to the Phantom Knight, Xiao Xue, and Xiao Mo: âBy the way, Iâll temporarily leave this army in your management. You donât need to do anything, just donât let chaos break out.â
This battle ended hastily.
The number of casualties was more than expected.
Many were accidentally injured by the ghost infant. Its sonic attack was terrifying, affecting not only ghosts and humans but also the surrounding living beings who couldnât withstand it.
Bai Moxue was originally sent back to Shuangyu Town.
But when she saw that Luo Sheng was going to Fengdu Ghost City.
She also asked to follow, because she wanted to see those concubines tortured by the Ghost King.
If Luo Sheng hadnât saved her, she would have been one of the concubines in Fengdu Ghost City.
Moreover, that was the Ghost Kingâs stronghold. Before becoming a ghost, she was originally an exorcist, so she was also interested in her enemyâs lair.
Since Luo Sheng was going to give Fengdu Ghost City to her in the future, he agreed.
He had Dongfang Muqing treat her.
Then they went to Fengdu Ghost City together.
At this time, Bai Moxue was weak, her face pale. Even after treatment, she was still quite weak, a side effect of burning her essence blood.New chapters come out on novelping(.)com first.
However, it didnât prevent her from following Luo Sheng.
In about half an hour, they arrived at Fengdu Ghost City.
Luo Sheng easily broke through the formation barrier of Fengdu Ghost City and beheaded the ghost general guarding it.
In less than the time it takes to burn 2 incense sticks.
He firmly controlled Fengdu Ghost City.
Especially the ghost soldiers guarding the city, knowing their lord had been killed, lost the will to defend the city and threw down their armor and weapons, surrendering one after another.
Then, Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue, led by Soldier A and Soldier B.
Came to the basement of Fengdu City Lordâs mansion.
The secret rooms were intricate and complex, even including torture chambers, fully equipped.
In this dark and narrow dungeon, Luo Sheng discovered a large number of women who had long since had their souls scattered, leaving only piles of bones.
They were all wearing luxurious clothes.
And these magnificent clothes were full of âscarsâ, as if they had been whipped or burned with high-temperature iron tongs.
These clothes were covered with a large amount of blood, finally covering the piles of white bones.
Presumably, they had suffered inhuman treatment in life, dying in pain. Even if their souls had cultivated to have their own physical bodies.
Unfortunately, their bodies had become the Ghost Kingâs playthings.
Looking at these stark white bones, Soldier A and Soldier B said: âThese were all tortured to death by Ghost King, they were screaming when they died.â
Bai Moxue saw this scene.
She took a deep breath, her heart quite complex.
Her hands and feet couldnât help but tremble, especially when she saw the numerous cracks on some of the bones, her legs couldnât stop shaking.
When she was at her weakest, she couldnât bear to see such horrifying scenes.
Luo Sheng gently covered her eyes, âDonât look at these scenes anymore. You wonât suffer such treatment in the future because heâs already dead by your blade.â
âMm, thank youâŚâ
Feeling Luo Shengâs warm arm, Bai Moxue felt like she had found her backbone.
With this support, she was no longer afraid of these things and accompanied him step by step towards the depths.
The level of Fengdu Ghost City Lordâs mansion close to the surface was secret rooms, followed by various torture chambers. The deeper one went, the more endless dungeons there were, dark and filled with the smell of decay.
At the bottom level was the endless purgatory, simply put, it was underground magma, and a place of punishment established based on this.
But now it had been abandoned for a long time, one could only feel the scorching magma, and the bones of enemies who had opposed the Ghost King.
âThe Yin King is in the dungeon near the endless purgatory, suffering day and night from the high temperature of purgatory,â said Soldier A and Soldier B.
At this time, the closer they got to the underground, the higher the surrounding temperature became, unbearably hot.
The weakened Bai Moxue was drenched in sweat.
Even though ghosts were intangible things, the temperature of the endless purgatory could still burn her soul.
âMmâŚâ
Bai Moxue lightly bit her red lips, seeming to be persevering.
At this moment, Luo Sheng used a ăIce Water Protectionă card, a layer of ice and water mixed membrane enveloping her body.
Bai Moxue immediately felt a coolness, the previous heat completely eliminated, blocked outside by the ice water protection.
She looked up at Luo Sheng and finally said, âSorry for troubling you, darling.â
She used to not fear this level of temperature at all, but now due to weakness, she couldnât withstand it.
She lowered her head in shame, even her tone of voice lacking.
She felt like she had let him down, burning away her future, and using her cultivation as explosives to perish together with others.
âNo need to apologize, I support whatever you do. If it were me, encountering my own enemy, I would also fight them without hesitation. Thereâs nothing to feel guilty about.âThis chapter is updated first at noveâlping.com.
Luo Sheng had already sensed her emotions.
Especially her form of address to him, previously they were of equal status, but now she was using honorifics.
She had become more humble.
So, he comforted her in this way.
Bai Moxue gave a bitter smile, bright red tears welling up in her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of emotion as she said: âThank you, darling.â
At this moment.
Soldier A and Soldier B stopped, halting their advance.
Looking at Luo Sheng, they said: âSorry, Lord Luo, we canât go any further. After all, that place could cost us our lives.â
Soldier B also chimed in: âThe cell where the Yin King is located is just ahead. Iâm afraid only you, Lord Luo, can go there. We hope for your forgiveness, Lord Luo.â
As they spoke, they pointed to a cell in the distance.
The walls were made of special stone bricks and underworld iron, and the entrance was tightly sealed.
Ordinary people couldnât break it open with spiritual power.
Even ghost generals would find it difficult to shake the cell.
Luo Sheng wasnât worried that they would deceive him because there was a strong aura inside the cell.
It had gold-level strength, but was very weak, obviously having gradually lost power under the long-term erosion here.
So he said to Soldier A and Soldier B:
âThen you two go out first⌠and help me keep an eye on Fengdu Ghost City. Donât let anyone cause trouble, maintain good order for our future takeover.â
âYes, Lord Luo.â
âLord Luo, Lady Bai, weâll take our leave now.â
Soldier A and Soldier B bowed respectfully, then hurriedly ran out. The endless purgatory was ultimately too hot and very unfriendly to the undead.
Therefore, they couldnât wait to leave this place.
Luo Sheng understood them.
âLetâs go, weâll enter.â
He said to Bai Moxue, and seeing her nod, the two slowly walked closer.
A door as thick as copper walls and iron barriers blocked their way.
Bai Moxue sensed it briefly.
She said to him: âThis door has a powerful magical prohibition. Only the Ghost Kingâs secret technique can open it. Unless itâs destroyed, but even at my peak, I couldnât destroy this layer of prohibition.â
In other words, only the Ghost King could open this door, even a key wouldnât work.
But Luo Sheng smiled at her: âHave you forgotten? I have a special ability?â
Under Bai Moxueâs puzzled gaze, Luo Sheng took out a white card.
The card lit up.
Rumble~~
The huge metal door slowly opened, the prohibition on it was also unlocked. No matter how strong the prohibition was, it was unconditionally broken.
âI really did forget.â
Bai Moxue said embarrassedly.
It had been a long time since Luo Sheng used this ability, and he had only used it once.
Just as they opened the door.
An old, tired voice tinged with indifference to life came through:
âHave you finally come to kill me?â
