Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

The three paused in their chopsticks, and Diao Lingyun frowned slightly. "Mo Xuan, are we leaving so soon? Can't we rest for a while?"

Li Moxuan shook his head slightly, "Qian Hong has disappeared..."

"what?"

Bai Shui'er looked surprised. "How could a perfectly healthy person just disappear without a word?"

“Jiu’an told me that not long after we left, Yang Luoqi from the Hall of Heroes came and found Qian Hong. Later, the two of them went out together, saying they were going to do a mission.”

"Old Yi knew about their relationship but didn't ask any questions. However, just a month later, Qian Hong lost contact with the Greedy Camp, and even Lingyan Xin couldn't reach her..."

This……

Diao Lingyun tentatively asked, "Is it possible that she just wandered into a place where she couldn't use spirit messages and got lost?"

In the underworld, there are strange places like this everywhere, such as the Forest of the Void God and Mount Linglan. Many spirit mediums who try to take shortcuts easily fall into such places and never come out again.

"That's exactly what I was worried about..."

Li Moxuan ate a bite of food by himself. "Qian Hong last contacted the Greedy Camp near the Demon Forest in the western part of the South District."

"The old man sent out a small team to investigate, but they also lost contact..."

"Before I came here, Lao Yi told me that the Hall of Heroes was also looking for Yang Luoqi, which means that this matter should not be their doing."

"Originally, the boss planned to send a few captains, but since they were able to trap the two of them, the other captains might not be able to escape unscathed either!"

"Now that I'm back, I might as well go on a trip! I much prefer going out on an adventure to staying in the Greedy Camp every day!"

After listening to Li Moxuan's words, the three of them remained silent for a moment. Diao Lingyun raised her head, opened her mouth, but did not say anything...

Noticing her actions, Bai Shui'er smiled gently and suggested, "Brother Mo Xuan, since it's so dangerous there, it would be too risky for just the two of us to go. Why don't we bring Ling Yun along too?"

"More people involved means more protection!"

Upon hearing her words, a pink blush rose on Diao Lingyun's neck. She shrank back like a quail, while secretly glancing at Li Moxuan out of the corner of her eye.

Li Moxuan fell into deep thought, wondering if he had ever said he would bring Bai Shui'er along!

Originally, he only wanted to take Yuan Xichen with him this time, so that even if they encountered some strange formations or mechanisms, they wouldn't be helpless.

However, Shui'er's divine martial spirit and Lingyun's strongest human martial spirit can indeed provide considerable protection...

He turned to look at Diao Lingyun beside him, "Lingyun, what's your opinion?"

"Ah, I...I have no objection!"

"That's fine!"

Li Moxuan quickly ate a few bites and got up. "There's no time to lose. I'll go and take care of the arrangements for the Greedy Battalion. We'll set off tomorrow morning!"

Reaching the top of the stairs, Li Moxuan stopped and turned around. "Also, Lingyun, you don't need to be so nervous every time you talk to me. I'm not going to eat you."

Five years have passed, and Diao Lingyun has become familiar with the other captains of the Greedy Battalion, but she always stammers when she speaks to Li Moxuan.

Li Moxuan rubbed his chin as he went downstairs. He even wondered if he had frightened Diao Lingyun when he massacred the village back then. That shouldn't be the case...

He's actually quite handsome!

"Hmm...I understand..."

"Oh? What do you know?"

After Li Moxuan left, Bai Shui'er approached Diao Lingyun and asked with a smile.

"Shui'er, why are you meddling in this?"

Diao Lingyun blushed and pushed Bai Shui'er away. Bai Shui'er sat back down and gently shook her head.

"Lingyun, if I hadn't said anything just now, would you have given up this opportunity again?"

"I……"

Diao Lingyun clenched her fists on her knees and did not refute.

"Lingyun, opportunities are earned. Brother Moxuan isn't fierce. Even if you cause a ruckus in the Greedy Camp, he won't say anything!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you should like Brother Moxuan, right?"

Muli: "(￢_￢) Aim"

Hey, this is some juicy gossip!

Diao Lingyun blushed, buried her head in her chest, and whispered in protest, "Shui'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I... I think the person who likes him should be you..."

"I do really like Brother Moxuan..."

Bai Shui'er's face flushed slightly, but she readily admitted it.

"But you and Muli are both my best friends, and I don't want you to give up your own happiness because of me..."

She moved her chair next to Diao Lingyun and looked her up and down, admiring her curvaceous figure.

"Besides, Lingyun, you're so beautiful. If you end up with someone I don't like, I'll be very angry!"

"But what about you, Shui'er? What will you do?"

"Me? I'm not one to fall in love with someone else. The only person I've ever truly loved is Brother Mo Xuan!"

Although Bai Shui'er was shy, she still stuck out her pink neck and said it, since Brother Mo Xuan wasn't around anyway...

If Beiluo Shimen knew, his heart would probably be broken...

"Then why did you instigate it..."

Diao Lingyun paused, as if she had thought of something, and stared at Bai Shui'er with a look of surprise, "Shui'er, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Bai Shui'er stared at her with a smile, "Doesn't Lingyun want to come with me?"

"Oh, you...you...stop talking..."

Diao Lingyun buried her head in her chest, covering her face. Just thinking about that scene made her feel like she was in a steamer, with steam constantly rising from her head.

"Hehe, Lingyun, don't go back today. Come to my place and sleep with me!"

Muli, who was silently eating her meal nearby, thought to herself: "(。o_o)"

I have a feeling I've heard something incredible!

"Muli, come on over! The three of us can sleep together!"

Ok?

Do you have your own things to do?

……

"Ah-"

Li Moxuan touched his nose. Who was talking badly about him behind his back?

"Mo Xuan, this is the information we've gathered about the Demon Forest!"

Huo Jiu'an handed a document he had collected to Li Moxuan, saying, "It is rumored that shortly after the birth of the Underworld, the angels and demons fought a protracted war there."

"The angels and demons fought fiercely for months. In the end, the angels defeated the demons after sacrificing countless angels, and all the demons were killed."

"Even though their bodies have been annihilated, the demons' souls still wander in the forest, driven by their inner obsessions to search for the angels who slew them."

"Because the angels set up a barrier near the forest, the souls of demons could not leave the forest. Over time, that place became the 'Demon Forest'!"

"However, over a thousand years have passed, and the barrier has probably long since become ineffective..."

Chapter 38: Seven Sins Ridge

"A demon? I do know one..."

Li Moxuan thought of Azazel, the leader of the Kingdom Organization. That guy seemed to be a fallen angel who had escaped from the Great Thousand World to the Underworld.

"I'll be setting off tomorrow. I'll be taking Lingyun with me this time. Keep a close eye on things at the Hall of Heroes!"

"I understand. However, Mo Xuan, the Spirit Realm has invited you to the Wuming Palace Conference three months from now. I heard that Xiang Kunlun also received an invitation. Do you want to go?"

"I'm definitely going!"

Li Moxuan packed his things on his own. "The Spirit Master's move is to make me a thorn in Xiang Kunlun's side, but it doesn't matter. We'll be enemies sooner or later anyway."

"Besides, Xiang Kunlun is my old classmate. It's been so long, so naturally we have to meet up!"

Most importantly, he still remembered the bet he made with Xiang Kunlun before leaving Dead Soul Island...

"By the way, where's Xichen? I haven't seen him."

"He!"

Old Li, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "That kid heard that you were taking him out again tomorrow and secretly gave you a piece of his mind."

"Right now, he's leading Captains Yan Zhuangyao, Wen Zuoyi, Wei Molong, and Zhang Jinfeng in setting up a protective formation for Tianlang City!"

"I have to say, he's got some skills!"

In just one afternoon, he perfectly handled all the affairs of the Greedy Camp, and even toured the Sky Wolf Stronghold, pointing out many loopholes in the stronghold's defenses.

Even Li Laoyi had to admit that he had some ability.

"Ha, that guy is probably still cursing me behind my back!"

Li Moxuan now understood why he had sneezed just now...

……

The main base of the Divine Martial Spirit Legion, Reincarnation City.

"Long Dou, you're back..."

Inside the main hall, Ying Chengfeng stood in front of the hall door, while the six Heavenly Dragon Chess Generals—Chi Che, Xue Xiang, Lei Pao, Zhou Shi, Xuan Ma, and Tie Zu—stood on either side.

"Um……"

Huangfu Longdou walked towards the main seat. "Chengfeng, you've been lurking in Yulin Street for eight years. Did you get what you wanted?"

"Ha, when have I ever made a mistake?"

Ying Chengfeng took out the Supreme Divine Pearl, which was radiating light. "The Supreme Divine Pearl is one of the four great divine pearls of the Underworld. This item is hidden in the Jade Bodhi. It can foresee the future and turn the tide of fate!"

"So, Chengfeng, have you already seen the future through the Supreme Divine Pearl?"
