I am the main soul in the soul banner

Chapter 1165 No Descendant

It is not yet known what actions the ghost clan will take.

The attitudes of the ten tribes are mostly ambiguous.

Because everyone had more or less heard of or even witnessed Tushan Jun's strength in the Demon Abyss. The terrifying destructive power of shattering an entire area with one hammer made no one want to start a war with such a person in their own territory, so they remained silent.

The chaos of the cloudy day calmed down, and the underworld became peaceful.

But beneath the peace, many undercurrents are still surging.

fog.

The sun in the underworld was hazy, making Luodu Mountain look even higher. In a trance, it seemed as if one could see pillars supporting the sky, and the palaces looked like divine palaces in heaven.

The strange beast crouching on the eaves of the palace moved its eyes slightly, swooped down, broke through the clouds and split the fog, suddenly spread its wings, glided for a thousand miles before flapping its wings and flying over the city.

It was built on Luodu Mountain, with a circumference of thousands of miles, and there were countless people in the city.

Things are even more different since the underworld required officials' families to move to Luodu City.

The big city of Luodu has become crowded. The number of expanded star cities has reached more than 30, with star cities built upon star cities, just like the stars in the sky, one after another. With more cities and villages, there are also more City God Temples.

The city gods of each place have high levels of cultivation and have gone through major tests.

The old city god of Huanglian Village often boasted that he had met the Lord of the Underworld during the palace examination.

No one believes it.

It's not so easy to meet the Palace Master.

Their frontier town is more than a million miles away from Luodu. The spiritual stones burned to open the Ghost Gate alone are enough for a family of three to eat fruit for a year. Only when the work report is made every three years will the Ghost Gate of the City God Temple be opened to connect to Luodu.

This is the most convenient way. The second is to take the giant ship planned by the underworld. There are always giant ships traveling between towns and big cities, and small spirit boats traveling between small towns. The ticket price is not expensive, but it takes too long. Sometimes it takes a whole afternoon to travel between villages and towns, which is really tiring, not to mention going to Luodu.

Even going to Luodu is like ascending to heaven, so how is it possible to meet the Lord of the Underworld?

However, recently the gates of hell seem to be constantly open, and young monks are returning home one after another.

Young and strong soldiers are one of them.

As a Jindan cultivator, he was a senior soldier in the army. In this battle, he killed twelve enemies. He only needed to exchange them for the spiritual object to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a centurion.

……

Luodu.

gate of hell.

Rainbow Bridge Bank.

The huge gate is just on the other side of the long bridge, surrounded by flat cylindrical arcs.

There was an endless stream of monks stepping onto the long bridge.

No one can tell exactly how many places like this there are in the underworld.

"Name."

The blank jade slip in front of the old official quickly displayed the personal information of the young soldier.

Hold a pen to write and draw.

Nodding slightly, he said, "You will be back home to visit your family for a month. In the middle of the month, the gates of hell will open and you must return immediately. At the very least, you will be punished by military law, or at the worst, you will be executed for delaying military operations..."

The old official spoke as he handled the matter, and his words sounded almost mechanical.

He took a sip of tea with a dry mouth and then waved to the next person.

It was not until the sun set and it was almost dusk that the old official had time to catch his breath. As a low-ranking official, he was busier at such times.

The bright flames of the lanterns lit up most of the sky, making it clearer than the thick fog during the day, which made people feel fascinated.

After a lot of effort, the old official finally got to the end of the yamen. Just as he was about to leave, his colleagues from the yamen were already waiting not far away. A middle-aged man in the lead walked over with a smile and said, "Brother, how could you forget? Didn't we say we would get together this evening? Come on, I've already booked a banquet at the government building. Please do me a favor."

Li Zhongying couldn't bring himself to refuse, and the person who invited him was a promising chief clerk, so he didn't dare to neglect him. So he bowed and said, "I'll ask Wu Zi to take a message home."

"please."

"please!"

A little while.

Everyone gathered in the mansion.

This mansion was originally the property of the Hehuan Sect. As the Hehuan Sect gradually withdrew, it was taken over and opened by other merchants.

There were six people sitting around the table, led by Gao Zhubu, and the other four were all acquaintances. Li Zhongying didn't know what Gao Zhubu meant, so he didn't rush to talk and sat quietly in a corner. Gao Zhubu, with a broad face, raised his glass and smiled and said, "Tomorrow there will be a group of soldiers to march, please show some mercy."

"Please rest assured, the brothers all know what to do." A tall and thin clerk replied hurriedly.

"We'll take care of it."

"..."

popping.

He clapped his hands after finishing his drink.

Immediately, five storage bags were placed in front of everyone.

A charming and beautiful woman walked out from behind the hall, leaning into his arms with lotus steps and twisting her waist.

Li Zhongying's pupils immediately shrank and his larynx rolled slightly.

He didn't recognize these people, but they were obviously casting charm spells. What's more, the mansion where he was located was once the property of the Hehuan Sect, which made Li Zhongying think of many things.

He couldn't sit still and stood up suddenly.

"Master Li?"

Gao Zhubu, with his broad face, still had a smile on his face.

Li Zhongying broke out in a cold sweat, and spoke after a long while: "The imperial court's ban half a month ago not only required the Hehuan Sect to move out of the underworld, but also prohibited the use of furnaces and tripods. The chief clerk's action..."

"Alas, Lord Li, what you said is wrong. If you and I don't tell me, how can the Lord know?" Gao Zhubu smiled and stood up, stretched out his hands to hold down the old official, and sighed: "God is too far away, so he has forgotten the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, and the love between men and women. How can the ancestor understand the ins and outs of this?"

"He only gives orders based on his own wishes."

"But this will destroy so many resources and interests." "Master Li, you are a smart man, what is your current cultivation level?"

"You are in the late Jindan stage, but you are over 200 years old. There is no room for improvement."

While speaking, he patted Li Zhongying on the shoulder and said calmly: "I heard that your son died in the war, and your grandson is still in school. It's a pity that his spiritual root talent is too poor, and it's difficult for him to achieve great success in this life."

"The underworld is good, but it depends on who you are dealing with. The higher the talent, the more resources you get, and the lower the talent, the fewer resources you get."

“Good deeds will be rewarded in the end, and evil deeds will be punished in the end, but it is just a slogan.”

"What you put in your pocket is real."

As he said this, he stuffed the storage bag into the old official's pocket and said with a smile, "Master Li, you may want to take a look."

Li Zhongying didn't know how he left the mansion and returned home.

He didn't know that his colleagues around him had already received the benefits. He was torn between a conscience and a desire. After thinking for a long time, he finally got up from the bed, lit a lamp and ground ink, preparing to write a jade slip, writing hundreds of words in one breath.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a hand fell in front of him and picked up the jade slip.

"Who?!" Li Zhongying was shocked.

His house in the city is not big, with only two rooms, but it is connected to the formation and the Luodu formation. How could anyone come in without his family's permission, let alone so quietly.

"Shhh."

The hand that held the jade slip was slowly retracted and placed in front of him, making a gesture to keep quiet.

The red ghost hands have neatly trimmed nails.

He was very tall, wearing a conical hat, a long robe, and carrying shackles and a mourning stick.

His face was covered by a copper coin mask, revealing a pair of red eyes. He looked at the jade slip with interest and said calmly, "I thought you would accept their solicitation."

Li Zhongying held the spiritual treasure in his arms, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"The underworld messenger."

The ghost officer put the jade slip into his sleeve and said with a sidelong glance: "Don't alert the enemy. I have been following this target. If you report it, others will take action."

Li Zhongying's eyes turned slightly: "The Yinchai always work with two people to handle cases. How can you have the power to enforce the law alone?"

"Heh." The ghost smiled and nodded, "Who told you I'm a human?"

As he spoke, another figure hidden in the shadows appeared. He was dressed in the same way. He showed the token on his waist and said calmly, "He is a courier from the Criminal Investigation Department. I hope you can cooperate with him in this matter. Just agree to whatever he does."

Li Zhongying took out the storage bag.

The ghost smiled and said, "Keep it. It's an advance reward from the underworld."

"How can I prove my innocence?"

"I guarantee your information in the name of the Criminal Investigation Department."

……

Dun flipped through the jade slips and said calmly, "Catch those who should be arrested and kill those who should be killed. When you look in front of the Three Lives Mirror, good and evil will be clear. Do I need to tell you one by one about such a simple thing?"

His gaze shifted from the faces of the several great saints sitting in the hall and fell back on the jade slip.

"Director, some people's spirits disappear as soon as we shine them. Even if we use soul-searching techniques..."

"Nothing was found."

Dun Yi frowned, he felt that the first thing to change should be the thinking of his subordinates.

The monks at the lower levels all know that if they can't find the source, they should just follow the clues and investigate slowly.

They, on the other hand, simply and crudely want to solve all problems by using their cultivation. Each of them is a great sage and thinks he is God.

Even a Taoist like him doesn't dare to say that he can see through everything.

“Being down-to-earth is more important than anything else.”

"But those people have already been granted titles, and have made further progress. We..." said a great sage with a single horn on his head, looking a little aggrieved. During the war, they either stayed behind or were in other places. Now that they have won the war, they are naturally jealous of others' military achievements and are eager for quick success.

Another great sage spoke up: "I think there is too little meat to be dug from the Hehuan Sect. The most urgent task now is the ten clans."

"You don't need to worry about the Ten Clans."

"Director..."

"Others need military merit to be promoted, but it's different for us. As long as we are loyal to the Lord of the Mansion, we will never lack merit." It was rare for Dun Yi to speak so bluntly, and he had to speak to appease his subordinates. Otherwise, with such a temperament, no one could do their work with peace of mind, and sooner or later they would mess up the tasks assigned to them.

The one-horned Great Sage lowered his voice and said, "But... I heard that the Palace Master only has a lifespan of a few thousand years."

"Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye."

Dun Yi said seriously, "Who told you that?"

“It’s all spreading.”

"It is said that even gods cannot save us."

Dun Yi was furious and said, "Shut up!"

"God is a great master, how could he not have some means?"

"How can we comment on what the Palace Master does?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the Lord of the Palace is gone, as long as God is still here, the sky will not fall. At most it will just be a matter of choosing the next Lord of the Palace.

However, the Lord of the Mansion has no children and has not expressed his opinion yet, so they are somewhat anxious about this matter.

He dismissed everyone and paced gloomily.

I didn't expect the war with the ten clans to start so soon.

There is no smoke.

later.
