If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 57: Escape from the Flag Gate, Old Ghost Returns a Favor
The Eight Immortals of the West did not immediately display their magical powers.

"Jade-faced Wenqu" Dou Yilin appeared directly in front of the army.

Although Xiao Yu couldn't see, he could identify his location by the sound and determined that he was probably standing at the gate of Marquis Lieyang's military camp.

I don’t know what kind of Taoist magic Dou Yilin used, but his voice contained emotion and was clearly heard within a ten-mile radius.

"Listen up, soldiers of the Western countries. I am Dou Yilin, the Prime Minister of Lu State. The other seven 'Western Immortals' are General Kong Zan, the 'Flag Hunter Immortal' of Lu State.

Lei Yuanzi, the former imperial preceptor of Giant Elephant Kingdom.

The aunt of Hami King Tamuli, the 'Fairy in the Wind' Feng Niangzi.

Monk Miao, the abbot of Xiweiguo Huguo Temple.

Song Zhong, the sworn brother of Han Ling, the King of Linhu.

The prince of Boyue Lake, Zhou Lang, the swordsman known as 'Boyue Sanren'.

Che Chi Guoshou, the chief leader of the 72 forts in Nanshan, is the "Military Genius" Sun Jinbiao.

As you can see, we are all pillars of the great Western nations.

You all know why we are gathered here and what the tyrannical Qin and Marquis Lieyang have done to us, the Western people.

Today, we, the Eight Immortals of the West, swear to kill the thief Yu Yu! If you still have a little sense of shame, and remember a little bit of the kindness of the monarch in the past, you should not stand against us.

To tell you the truth, the Chinese nation is indeed the ruler and father of us foreign nations. We cannot confront it with force or provoke it, but should treat it with courtesy and respect. However, since fifty years ago, the tyrannical Qin Dynasty is no longer equivalent to the Chinese nation.

You all know that the tyrannical Qin Dynasty was doomed. Fifty years ago, a Taoist priest obtained a heavenly book, which said, "The one who will destroy the Qin Dynasty is the Hu people."

This prophecy will come true within a hundred years.

Do you know that Emperor Ying Zheng died suddenly in Afang Palace a few days ago?
Do you understand what this means?
The Mandate of Heaven has begun to be fulfilled, and great chaos will soon arise within China.

All the princes who are oppressed by Emperor Ying Zheng will raise the banner of justice and reform the world.

The heavenly book is true, and the prophecy is also true. No matter how the tyrannical Qin Dynasty struggled, it eventually lost the mandate of heaven.

The new destiny begins in the West, it begins today, at our feet.

Will you create a new destiny with us, or will you do something foolish and go against the will of heaven by confronting us, the Eight Immortals of the West, who represent the millions of people from thirty-six countries?"

"Emperor of Heaven, why did you let us hear all this? After hearing these secrets, will Marquis Lieyang still let us live?!" Shopkeeper Yun held his ears and wailed.

He wanted to cover his ears and act like an ostrich, but Dou Yilin's voice was like a drill, drilling straight into his mind.

Xiao Yu was quite calm, because before Lei Yuanzi used the "Nine-Nine Fire Wheel Thunder" to bombard the Lieyang Hou camp, he had already announced the death of the Human Emperor with a wild laugh.

She was just curious. The Human Emperor had only died a few days ago, and even Marquis Lieyang might not know about it - at least Guan Huchen, who was preparing to send her to Xianyang to take over Concubine Li, didn't know.

Moreover, when the Shadow God Picture was drawn that day, the ghosts and gods in the underworld also knew Hu Chen's purpose.

Given the influence of the Qin Dynasty in the four continents today, the death of the Human Emperor must be a major event for the underworld.

Therefore, the Human Emperor must have been alive on the night when the Shadow God Map was drawn.

How many days has it been?

The Eight Immortals of the West have actually already accurately grasped the news of the death of the Human Emperor.
Who told them?

Judging from Lei Yuanzi's previous uncontrollable laughter and shouting of "The Human Emperor is dead", he must have just learned of the Human Emperor's death.

From the "Thirty-Six-Nation Alliance" to the current "Eight Immortals of the West", the water is quite deep!
"Hey, it's foggy outside. It's so thick that you can't see your hand in front of you. Uncle Zhong, come over and take a look. Which immortal used this move?"

Although Xiaoyu hid behind the wine cellar door, he was always paying attention to the situation outside.

Everything was fine before. At most, Lei Yuanzi's Nine-Nine Fire Wheel Thunder turned the sunny sky into cloudy, and there was no water vapor in the air.

After Xiaoyu blinked, the world outside suddenly became foggy.

"Miss Yu, block the door. The cave is starting to get foggy. The fog is so thick that we can't see clearly the people around us. Erbao, light the candles quickly." Shopkeeper Yun shouted nervously.

Xiaoyu took a step back, turned around and looked at her in horror.

She couldn't even see the people inside.

Even Shopkeeper Yun's voice was faint and indistinct, as if it was very far away.

It would have been fine if she had just squatted there without moving, but as she took a step back, not only did she not get closer to the inside, she also lost her way.

"This is a magic, it must be a magic! It even changes time and space."

At the same time as feeling horrified, Xiaoyu also felt a little excited deep in her heart.

"Uncle Zhong, where are you? Can you hear me? Uncle Zhong~~"

She didn't dare to scream too loudly, nor did she dare to take too big a step. She just stretched out her feet and slowly moved forward.
She didn't know how far she had moved. Even her sense of time began to blur. She didn't know how much time had passed. The voice of Shopkeeper Yun became farther and farther away. Finally, the whole world became silent and she could hear nothing.

She was clearly moving in the direction that Manager Yun was calling, but the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

She was clearly huddled at the cramped entrance of the cave, but she couldn't even touch the stone walls, wine barrels, wooden racks, or wooden doors.

Now there was no one around her. Could it be that she had walked out of the cave?

"Miss Yu, Miss Yu" Suddenly, a voice came from a distance.

"Who, who is calling me?"

Xiaoyu quickly thought about the owner of the voice in her mind, but did not respond rashly.

"Miss Yu, it's me, Miss Yu"

——Who are you? Please tell me clearly?

Xiaoyu's thoughts turned faster.

The other party was a middle-aged man with a refined voice and a Shu accent, not a barbarian one.
Xiaoyu quickly checked her memory, but couldn't find even one suspected target.

"Miss Yu, I'm Duan Yuhan, my son is Duan Guisheng, and you're at Sanchaling."

The other party seemed to have figured it out and began to report his name and deeds.

"Oh, it's you!" Xiaoyu suddenly realized and responded casually.

Just after she answered, a shadow suddenly appeared not far in front of her.

It's like jumping out from the gap between dimensions.

"I am Duan Yuhan, and I am honored to meet Miss Yu, my benefactor!"

The face and body shape of the shadow could not be seen clearly, and one could only vaguely recognize a black shadow about 1.7 meters tall.

However, his kneeling and worshipping action can be clearly identified.

"Mr. Duan is my elder. Such a generous gift really humiliates me~~" Xiao Yu quickly moved away and returned the gift.

Hu Chen once taught him Chinese etiquette.

If an elder kneels down to pay homage to her, she must kneel down to pay homage back.

Unless there is an obvious difference in status between the two people.

Logically speaking, Xiaoyu should kneel down and kowtow as many times as the other person does. Well, it's like a mutual worship, but this is Chinese etiquette.

She was not used to kneeling, and the other party's purpose was unclear. Who knew if a hidden weapon would be shot at her after she knelt. Anyway, she had quietly pressed the hilt of the sword, and the ferocious tiger spirit was ready to attack.

Of course, she didn't kneel down, but she avoided the other party's kneeling and bowed solemnly in return.

"Miss Yu, someone wants to murder you and General Guan." Duan Yuhan didn't hesitate and directly stated his intention, "Ever since Miss Yu helped my father and I collect the bones, Guisheng and I have been following you."

——Fuck, please don’t tell me “true ghost stories”, I’m a little scared.

"Why are you following me? Didn't you thank me that night?" Xiaoyu said.

Duan Yuhan seemed stunned and murmured, "So that night Guisheng and I knelt down on the hillside to worship the camp, you heard it.

I don't know.

People should be grateful and repay kindness. Guisheng and I are no longer human beings, and you have a noble status and lack nothing.

We can't repay you enough.

I just want to wait until you leave the camp alone one night, and Guisheng and I will go find you, kneel down and kowtow to you to express our feelings."

——The next day they arrived at Feixiandu and stayed at Yunlai Inn. How could they have the chance to go out at night?

"Alas, God is so unfair. How could such honest and grateful people like you and your son be left exposed in the wilderness and become wild ghosts?" Xiaoyu sighed.

"Miss, you are too kind. I don't blame God, but myself. I didn't know how to judge people and made friends with bandits. I harmed myself and Guisheng. Miss Yu, Duan's matter is not important. There are villains who want to murder your benefactor!"

"Who murdered me?" Xiaoyu asked.

“I don’t know either. Guisheng and I hide during the day and come out to hang out in Feixiandu at night.

We also slept under the tree roots today.

Suddenly it was dark, we were awakened by thunder, and heard the words of the human immortal, and we were very worried about your safety.

So Guisheng and I decided to go around to the back mountain to see if you were okay.

As a result, the sky and the earth suddenly became foggy, just like what Old Man Qin had encountered a few days ago.

Guisheng and I got separated and lost our way. "

"Oh, damn, my memory is so bad!" Xiao Yu slapped his forehead fiercely, his face full of regret, "The 'enemy' that Mr. Qin met that night with two large flags on his back was most likely the Flag Hunting Immortal Kong——"

An unprecedented terror suddenly descended upon my heart.

Little Feather felt horrified, goose bumps instantly appeared on his skin, and the sword bone in his body made a clanging sound.

She lowered her head suddenly, rolled forward rapidly, and before she could steady herself, she raised her right hand.

“Clang—Dang~~~~”

The Dragon Kiss Dagger was unsheathed, and a tremendous force hit the blade.

It was as if an invisible blade was shattered, and the fragments shot out in all directions.

Xiaoyu had small scars on her face and back, and her hair was falling out in clumps.

And on the ground behind her, there was a three-foot-long deep mark.

"what?"

——No matter what it is, it is most likely related to the "Flag Hunting Immortal" Kong Zan.

The thick fog is caused by the formation of the Flag Hunting Immortal.

The disorder of time and space and the old ghost's loss of way are also the effects of his signature magical power "Flag Gate Escape".

Now she was careless in the formation and actually shouted out the words "Flag Hunting Immortal Kong Zan".

Perhaps Kong Zan had not noticed her before, but suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Miss Yu, what's wrong with you?" Duan Yuhan was at a loss. She wanted to help but didn't know where to start.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't even know what was going on.

"Uncle Duan, I'm fine, please continue."

Xiaoyu forced a smile, her body tense and her mind highly focused.

Duan Yuhan was not stupid, of course he knew that she was in trouble, but he still said quickly: "After getting lost, I heard a masked armored knight say that the Nine Transformation Bone Changing Pill was in the hands of General Guan's old servant Guan Zhong, and General Guan and you were in the wine cellar in the backyard. It was obvious that this group of villains wanted to kill for money. I was very anxious, but I couldn't find the direction, so I could only follow them and call out repeatedly.

Anyway, I am a ghost, and humans can’t hear the screams of ghosts.

They are going to the wine cellar to look for you again. Follow them and they will find you. I remind you to be careful."

——Have you ever thought that I am also a human being?
Xiaoyu thought so and asked the same question.

"Miss Yu is different from them. You have done me a favor, so I can appear in front of you and you can hear my screams, just like now." Duan Yuhan said.

"Where are those masked men now?" Xiaoyu asked.

“I can’t find it.”

——Alas, apart from being a good guy, you are really useless!
"Uncle Duan, thank you, you helped me a lot." Xiaoyu said seriously.

"Miss Yu, I can still continue to help you. I can call you and explore the way in front. I will remind you immediately if there is any danger until I lead you out of this dangerous area." Duan Yuhan said.

"Uncle Duan, I appreciate your kindness, but immortals are not mortals. They must have the means to detect and deal with ghosts and gods. You should find a place to hide.

I am an insignificant little person who will not attract too much attention from the Eight Immortals, so I can slowly explore on my own." Xiao Yu said seriously.

Duan Yuhan seemed to be greatly humiliated, and shouted in a stern voice: "Miss Yu has been very kind to my father and me. Even if my father and I were to work like cows and horses, it would be difficult to repay Miss's kindness. How could we retreat when we are in danger?"

He seemed angry, his tone was stern and his expression was serious. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and floated forward, while floating, he gently called out, "Miss Yu, you can go this way."

Very strange.

When she followed Duan Yuhan and took a step forward, the terrifying and fatal crisis immediately dissipated.

The surrounding scene also changed subtly.

"Did I follow the old ghost into another dimension?"
