My apprentice is too diligent.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The true energy turned into a sword and rushed straight into the ground, punching through the floors one after another.

Along with the sound of shaking, a dust-covered passage quickly appeared.

shuh~

Chen Wuji descended, followed the opened corridor, entered the underground secret room, and saw the body discovered by his spiritual consciousness.

A woman with no life in her body, lying on a bed made of ice.

died?

dead body?

Chen Wuji's consciousness penetrated into a translucent film on the woman's body, entered the other person's body, and scanned it carefully.

"It's really a fake death."

By suspended animation, life is cut off, like a dead corpse.

This is how you deceived the ghost clan!

Of course, this underground secret room is also crucial.

Chen Wuji scanned around and found formation patterns carved on the ground and walls.

Before he broke through the dome, the formation was still maintaining and operating on its own.

Only with the shielding of the formation and suspended animation can the ghosts on the surface be successfully deceived.

Moreover, Chen Wuji also discovered that this formation could attract earth energy, convert it into energy, and maintain the body's health.

Obviously, the woman on the ice bed was prepared to sleep for a long time.

However, now that Chen Wuji is here, he can wake up early.

Call ~

The true energy was released and absorbed the woman from the air.

Chen Wuji led the people along the passage and left the underground secret room.

Return to the air and continue scanning with consciousness.

Every building in the city, even within a hundred feet underground, was not spared.

There was also a body, but no more was found.

Only the woman escaped the disaster.

The only survivor!

"Hopefully there's some useful information."

Chen Wuji stopped searching and took the woman to find Chen Tiewei and his group.

On the way, through his spiritual consciousness, he condensed a ball of true energy to help the woman quickly regain her vitality and awaken her consciousness.

"senior!"

Chen Tiewei saw Chen Wuji descending from the sky and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Sir, there are survivors!"

The men behind him exclaimed in surprise, looking at the woman floating behind Chen Wuji, and shouted excitedly.

"I've met senior. Senior is so amazing. He actually found survivors."

"Yes, fortunately there are seniors here, otherwise, we might not be able to find this survivor."

"..."

"Survivor?" Chen Tiewei realized later and saw the woman who had not yet fully awakened. His body was shocked. The next moment, he said happily, "Senior, is this survivor still alive?"

"Alive."

Chen Wuji controlled the woman, placed her on the ground, and said calmly, "She made herself fake death, cooperated with the formation, and hid in the underground secret room to escape."

"That's it." Chen Tiewei suddenly realized, his eyes falling on the woman's pale face.

While watching, the woman's tightly closed eyes suddenly moved.

The next moment, slowly open your eyes.

"I...I'm still alive?" A cold and hoarse voice sounded.

"Yes, you are still alive, girl, how are you?"

Chen Tiewei took a few steps forward, squatted down, looked at the woman, and said gently, "Are you feeling any discomfort? Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?"

"Shen Mian..." the woman murmured, regaining consciousness from being dazed, "Yes, I faked death, but now I'm not dead, I'm alive! I'm still alive, still alive! Woohoo~"

The woman covered her face with her hands, sat on the ground, and cried bitterly.

Chen Tiewei and others saw this, opened their mouths, did not ask any more questions, and each sighed.

It is good to escape death.

But the woman’s family members were all dead.

Everyone in Xiping City was dead.

Not many people can bear this kind of stimulation.

For a while.

Chen Tiewei and the others stood still and fell into silence.

Chen Wuji was not in a hurry.

After waiting for a while, the woman cried bitterly. After venting her anger, she saw that her mood had almost recovered, and then she spoke calmly.

"Before and when the ghost tribe came, was there anything unusual in Xiping City?"

Hearing this, the woman raised her head and glanced at Chen Wuji, her eyes a little stunned.

"This is a senior from the Shenqiao realm who was passing by. It was the senior who found you and saved you."

Seeing this, Chen Tiewei hurriedly introduced, "I am Chen Tiewei, the chief seal of the Liangcheng Demon Slayer Department. Girl, do you still remember what happened when the ghost tribe came to Xiping City?"

"Speak as much as you remember. This matter is very important!"

Chen Tiewei added.

"...I don't know much." The woman looked away, her body trembled slightly, and she said in a trembling voice, "That...that night, I...I was just about to fall asleep when I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the house, followed by There is also light, a huge light, blooming in the north of the city. It can illuminate the whole room through the window paper."

"Along with the huge light, the earth was shaking. At first I thought it was an earth dragon coming over the mountain, so I hurriedly got up from the bed and ran out of the room."

"When I came outside the house, I was pulled by my father and ran to the basement. And my father told me that the gate of hell was opened and the ghost clan had arrived."

"I was so frightened that I didn't feel anything at all. I was pulled into the basement by my father. Before I entered, I saw a huge portal appearing in the night sky to the north of the city."

"The door was opening rapidly, accompanied by huge black smoke, opening from behind."

"Before I could clearly see the scene behind the door, I was dragged into the basement by my father. Through the treasures, formations, and combined with the exercises, I entered suspended animation."

"By the way, my father...he..."

When the woman said this, she looked up at Chen Wuji in the sky, her eyes filled with hope.

"You are the only one in the city who still retains his intact body."

Chen Wuji said calmly, "Everyone else has been reduced to skeletons."

"...Woooo~!"

The woman covered her face and cried bitterly again, her body shaking continuously.

"..."

Chen Tiewei opened his mouth, but couldn't help but said, "Well, girl, the ghost gate opened two nights ago. I want to know, was there anything unusual in Xiping City during the period before the ghost gate opened? "

"...I...I don't know...if there is."

The woman choked and sobbed, "However, I... I heard my father say... that it took about three days... No, based on now, it should be... it should be five days ago. There was a gang fighting in the north of the city. Hundreds of people died. This...does this count..."

"Calculate!"

Chen Tiewei interrupted, "Opening the gate of ghosts requires a lot of blood, and human blood is the best. There are also free souls. Similarly, human souls are the best. The ghost clan's arrival in Xiping City is obviously premeditated."

"Ghost... the ghost tribe has a premeditated plan every time they open the ghost gate, right?" The woman asked what Chen Wuji wanted to ask.

That's right.

The opening of the ghost gate requires a lot of preparation work in the early stage.

Therefore, every time the ghost gate is opened, it is a premeditated action.

"Different."

Chen Tiewei shook his head and explained, "You don't know, but our Demon Slayer Division discovered as early as the year before last that the ghost clan has been opening ghost gates more and more frequently in recent years."

"In the past few years, Xu, Kang, and Liang have had their gates of hell opened, more than once a year, and not only in one country each time."

"...Sir...Sir, are you saying that our country of Wei has already had ghost gates opened before?" the woman said in shock.

"Yes." Chen Tiewei glanced at Chen Wuji secretly and replied, "Five months ago, in Lanshan City in the northeast, a ghost gate opened. The ghost clan also came at night and devoured two people in the city overnight. The flesh, blood, and souls of hundreds of thousands of people.”

"what!?"

The woman was stupid.

Chen Wuji remained calm, but there was a feeling of surprise in his heart.

Opening the door to hell is becoming more and more frequent.

Something was clearly wrong.

Moreover, the location where the Ghost Gate is opened starts from Xu State in the north and goes all the way south, now covering Wei State.

The next step is to cross the Tianmen River and appear in Qingguo?

The northernmost part of Qingguo is Nanyang Mansion.

The northernmost place in Nanyang and the largest population is Baihe City!

'A few years ago, there was a third-level ghost general who chose Baihe City as one of his options. '

'This ghost general finally died under the sword array. '

'But it was the other party who broke into Qingniu Mountain on his own initiative! 'The third-level ghost general who controlled Nangong Sanniang back then was gifted with magical powers and could directly cross space.

If the other party hadn't underestimated the enemy, Chen Wuji would have been unable to kill it.

Now the ghosts are coming again?

Chen Wuji remained silent.

……

"We suspect that the ghost clan has a big conspiracy."

Chen Tiewei continued, "There must be a reason for opening the gates of hell so frequently and devouring human flesh, blood, and souls!"

"For this reason, demon-killing agencies from various countries are preparing for a federation, preparing to join forces to prevent the arrival of the ghost clan and at the same time try to figure out the ghost clan's conspiracy."

"……good."

After hearing this, Chen Wuji said calmly, "I hope you succeed. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."

Swish!

The figure flickered and disappeared.

"..."

"Leaving now?"

"Sir, is it okay for you to tell senior about this?"

"Yes, sir, there was a ghost gate in Blue Mountain City, but it is gone now. This matter is a big secret. The higher-ups have told me that no one can tell..."

Boom!

Chen Tiewei raised his hand and knocked on the heads of several men who spoke.

Then, he said, "Useless things, you don't even think about it. What time is it now? The ghost clan is speeding up to open the ghost gate, killing people and eating people everywhere. How long do you think the higher ups can keep it a secret?"

"First it's Blue Mountain City, then Xiping City, which one will be next?"

"What if it's Liangcheng? Will you be able to escape then? Or will you be able to escape?"

Chen Tiewei stretched out his hand and tapped one of his subordinates on the chest.

The people who were set on fire lowered their heads in shame.

However, the people behind were still a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what did you tell me senior..."

"Of course I hope that senior can help me. The ghost clan's preparations before opening the ghost gate can still be found as long as you are willing to look for it."

Chen Tiewei said seriously, "Since this senior is willing to help us search for survivors, it shows that he has a kind heart and doesn't like to see dead people."

"As long as he goes into each city and helps with the search, even if he finds a place where the ghost clan is located and destroys it, it will be a great help to our country, Wei!"

"That's it~"

After hearing this, a group of subordinates suddenly realized.

The woman sitting on the ground couldn't help but look at Chen Tiewei with admiration, her eyes shining.

……

far away.

On the roof of a building, Chen Wuji chuckled a few times after listening to Chen Tiewei's story.

"I will indeed help you. But not in Wei."

There is no way, Chen Wuji's home is in Qingguo.

Especially Baihe City!

In the city, there are many people who are relatives of the Chen family.

Although Chen Wuji didn't have much affection for these people, he still didn't want to see them all die and have their bodies eaten by the ghosts.

Another thing is that the ghost tribe is the enemy of the human race. If he has the ability, Chen Wuji doesn't mind helping.

Mind this.

Chen Wuji's figure rushed high into the sky.

Turn your body into clouds, break through the sky at extremely fast speeds, teleport thousands of miles, and then thousands of miles, and then thousands of miles again...

Go all the way south, crossing and shuttling.

Crossing the Tianmen River, we arrived at the original boundary of Baishui County.

Arriving at the sky above White River City.

Swish!

Chen Wuji's body shook and he landed on the ground with lightning.

He still has the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged man and an ordinary figure.

Chen Wuji walked on the street, his consciousness spreading out, scanning everything around him.

Buildings, trees, people, underground, well water, stones...

Everything is scanned carefully by the consciousness.

This is a stupid idea.

Fortunately, Chen Wuji had no shortage of time at the moment.

If the ghost clan's preparations can be uncovered and destroyed, then the time spent searching will not be wasted!

A street, a square, an area.

Starting from the north of the city, Chen Wuji kept searching and scanning carefully.

Go to the east of the city, then to the south of the city, and then to the west of the city.

The entire outer city was about to be searched, but nothing was found.

Suddenly, Chen Wuji discovered an abnormality in a building at the junction of the west and north of the city, at the center of the convergence of the two streets.

Yin locust tree!

Most of the wood in the building is locust wood, and it is 500 years old!

Sophora japonica is one of the ghosts' favorite plants.

Usually they are ghost slaves, the target of the soul, and they have a good effect on injured ghost slaves.

Most locust trees grow in the wild and are shade gathering places.

No one uses it to build houses.

This building is quite good, it is three stories high, and most of the wood is actually locust wood, or locust wood that is only five years old!

"Boom~!"

Clap it with one palm.

The zhenqi palm print became huge, and when photographed from a high place, the entire building was directly photographed into pieces.

"what!"

"Help!"

"who?"

The building collapsed and there were endless screams.

But no one died.

Chen Wuji's control was just right, but none of the people in the building escaped, and everyone was injured.

"Who is making trouble!"

Da Da Da~

Footsteps sounded from front to back and left to right.

Personnel from the Zhenwu Division quickly came from nearby.

Chen Wuji's appearance also changed quickly.

"Who is your Excellency and why..."

"Chen...Clan Master Chen!?"

A scream broke the chaotic scene. When the crowds on the two streets heard it, they subconsciously shut up and looked up at Chen Wuji, who was standing in the center of the street with no one around him.

"Really...really Master Chen!"

"Oh my god, it's actually Sect Master Chen!"

"Why did Sect Leader Chen smash 'Qunfang Pavilion' to pieces?"

"Hey, it must be the 'Qunfang Pavilion' that is doing evil things and has angered Sect Master Chen. He has personally come to destroy it!"

……

The people around him lowered their voices and talked a lot.

The Zhenwu Division personnel who led the team were led by a big man with a slightly pale face. He saluted with some stuttering and shouted.

"Meet...meet Master Chen!"

"Here...below..."

"Look at these pieces of wood." Chen Wuji said calmly, interrupting the big man's greeting.

"what?"

The big man was stunned when he heard this.

"Look at the wood on the ground and see what you find." Chen Wuji still said calmly.

This time the big man understood.

He took a few steps forward, squatted down, picked up a piece of wood from the ruins, and looked at it carefully.

The next moment, he screamed.

"Locust tree? A hundred years... no, more than a hundred years, two hundred, at least three hundred years of locust tree!" (End of Chapter)
