My apprentice is too diligent.

Baihe City.

In the inner city, it is a quiet night at the Si Yamen.

"Thank you, Master Chen, for discovering the ghost clan's conspiracy."

Cao Fangfang bent down, faced Chen Wuji, and saluted respectfully, "If Master Chen hadn't found out earlier this time, Baihe City would have suffered and been swallowed up by the ghost clan."

"Yes, fortunately we have Master Chen."

Qin Mu followed behind and sighed in agreement, "Who would have thought that the ghost clan would actually arrange to open the ghost gate under our noses. The 'Qunfang Pavilion' was built a year ago. In other words, the ghost clan has already sneaked into Baihe City. More than a year.”

"For such a long time, we didn't even notice!"

"...This is our dereliction of duty." Cao Fangfang lowered his head, his face full of shame.

"There is no point in talking about this now. It is better to find out first what the ghost clan wants to do?" Su Dingnan said solemnly, "Using five-hundred-year-old Yin locust wood to build the 'Qunfang Pavilion' as one of the nodes. The ghost clan is preparing to open The ghost gate is definitely not an ordinary ghost gate. The ghost gate built with five-hundred-year-old Yin locust trees, even the fifth-level ghost king, can pass through and come to Baihe City!"

"Is it possible that the ghost gate opened by the ghost clan this time is to prepare for the arrival of the ghost king?" Lin Wanlou guessed.

"This..." Qin Mu was startled when he heard this, and immediately shook his head as if in a whisper, "Isn't it possible? The ghost king is coming?"

His face was very ugly and solemn.

Su Dingnan, Cao Fangfang, and Lin Wanlou are almost the same.

If the ghost clan is preparing to open the ghost gate in Baihe City, it is to prepare for the arrival of the ghost king.

Then no one can stop them.

Chen Wuji had no choice but to escape.

Only the Tongtian Realm Martial King can compete with the fifth-level Ghost King!

"...Jingyesi, is there no news in this regard?"

Chen Wuji looked calm, looked at Cao Fangfang, and asked, "As far as Chen knows, there are two cities in the Wei State that have opened the gates of ghosts. Hundreds of thousands of people in the two cities were all devoured by ghosts overnight. .”

"what?"

"what!"

Lin Wanlou, Qin Mu, and Su Dingnan were all shocked when they heard this.

"Clan Master Chen, is this true?" Qin Mu stood up with a solemn face.

"Two cities in the Wei Kingdom were opened to hell? How come there is no news?" Su Dingnan was equally serious.

"No need to ask, Wei Guo must have concealed it." Lin Wanlou came back to his senses and frowned, "Wei Guo concealed the news of the opening of the ghost gate, focusing on keeping it secret so as not to cause panic. However, as for the specifics, Jingyesi should Do you know?"

At the end, Lin Wanlou also looked at Cao Fangfang.

Cao Fangfang is now the chief seal of Jingyesi in Baihe City.

In a few years, he has made a breakthrough and entered the flying realm.

"...If I say I don't know, will you believe me?"

Cao Fangfang spread his hands with a wry smile, "Wei Guosheng opened a ghost gate. This is the first time I have heard from the leader Chen. But..."

"But what?" Su Dingnan asked eagerly.

"However, a secret letter was issued from above." Cao Fangfang thought, "The secret letter said that we should be alert to the movements of the ghost clan. Any disturbance must be reported. That was last year. At that time, I brought People searched all over the city and outside the city, but found nothing, so they didn’t worry about it and thought it was an ordinary warning.”

"It's very common, but the 'Qunfang Pavilion' has been built." Su Dingnan shouted, "If it weren't for Sect Master Chen, we wouldn't have known that the ghost clan had started planning a year ago to open the ghost gate."

"Now in the city, I don't know if there are any other facilities related to the ghost clan opening the ghost gate." Qin Mu frowned and thought.

"'Qunfang Pavilion' has been destroyed, and the ghost clan cannot open the ghost gate for the time being." Chen Wuji said calmly, "The key now is to find out the ghost clan behind the scenes! Rather than arresting the boss of 'Qunfang Pavilion', that's it. .”

"Yes, yes." Cao Fangfang nodded hurriedly, "The boss of 'Qunfang Pavilion' has no idea where the craftsmen who built him 'Qunfang Pavilion' came from. We have checked and there are no such craftsmen in the city at all. It was someone invited from outside the city. The middleman responsible for communication at the time didn’t know where it came from.”

"However, no matter how difficult it is, we must find them!"

Cao Fangfang gritted his teeth, "It has been so long since the 'Qunfang Pavilion' was built. The ghost clan hiding behind the scenes has never been exposed. They must be hiding, and they must be outside the city, to the west of the city!"

As for why it's not the south of the city, the north of the city, or the east of the city.

The reason lies in Chen Wuji!

Qingniu Mountain is to the east.

Chen Wuji a year ago was in the Shenqiao realm.

Chen Wuji can sense the east, south and north of the city.

The east side of the city is the clearest.

The ghost clan didn't want to be exposed, so they would naturally stay away from Chen Wuji.

Not to mention that at this moment, Chen Wuji stepped into the divine sea.

"Qin Chengshou, General Lin, Mr. Su, we in the Jingyesi Division don't have many people. We have found out the ghost clan behind the scenes. I would like to ask three of them to help."

Cao Fangfang thought of something and clasped his fists at Qin Mu, Lin Wanlou and Su Dingnan.

"It's easy to say. It's about the ghost clan, so we have to join forces." Lin Wanlou nodded, "After I go back, I will send a hundred people here to report and follow Master Cao's orders."

"I will also send out a hundred people." Su Dingnan followed, "Currently, the ghost clan can only let things go in the city."

"There are not many people in the city guard, and we can only send out thirty people." Qin Mu said solemnly, "But I will report this matter to the superiors and apply for reinforcements. Mr. Cao, you'd better report it and invite experts to come over. "

"Don't worry Qin Chengshou, I'm already reporting it." Cao Fangfang said loudly.

"Qunfang Pavilion" was demolished.

It doesn't mean that Baihe City is safe and sound.

The ghosts who are hiding must be found and killed no matter what.

It's best to know the ghost clan's conspiracy through the other party.

"To slay demons, Qianlongmen is also willing to contribute."

Chen Wuji said calmly, "Chen will ask two disciples to go down the mountain to assist Jingyesi and search out of the city."

"Thank you very much, Master Chen!"

Cao Fangfang was overjoyed when he heard this and shouted excitedly, "Master Chen is benevolent and righteous. I, the next generation of Jingyesi, would like to thank Master Chen again!"

As he spoke, he faced Chen Wuji, bent down and bowed respectfully.

"White River City is also the home of the 'Qianlongmen'."

Chen Wuji raised his hand, "No matter what, finding out the ghost clan is the common wish of everyone."

The ghost race is the mortal enemy of the human race.

Once encountered, they will basically be killed.

Those who betrayed the human race and took refuge with the ghost race were in the minority.

……

After Chen Wuji expressed his stance, he returned to Qingniu Mountain.

Called all the disciples and informed them of the situation in Baihe City.

Xiping City was devoured by the ghost clan overnight, and they did not hide it.

"Oh my God!"

After listening to the narration, Chen Qingning covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Xiping City, which is so close to the cave we were staying in before, actually opened the gate of hell, and everyone in the city is gone!"

"No wonder." Han Ying took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, and said sternly, "We really have to stop the ghost gate from opening. Master, let me go!"

"You don't have to go." Chen Wuji glanced at her, "Second brother, it's more important for you to collect and analyze intelligence."

"..." Han Ying thought for a while, nodded and said, "Disciple, I understand."

"I'll go."

Su Dayong said, "I don't have to be so busy. I can go down the mountain to help with the search, and I can also keep informed of the latest situation."

"Add me!" Chen Yifan raised his hand, "I'll go too, let me go."

"You don't have to go." Chen Wuji glanced at him, "You should just stay on the mountain and keep an eye on the registered disciples."

"...Yes, Master." Chen Yifan shrank.

"I'll go." Nan Jinyu stood up and said coldly, "My sword has not killed the ghost clan yet, and I have a chance this time."

"I'll go too." Duan Zhen followed.

"Lao Wu, you have just made a breakthrough, so you need to consolidate your cultivation first." Chen Wuji said calmly, "Lao San and Boss, let's go."

"Yes, Master!"

Su Dayong and Nan Jinyu responded in unison.

The others saw this and stopped talking.

Chen Qingning even stuck out her tongue and snickered twice.

She was shrinking her neck just now, fearing that she would be called out.

To search for ghosts? Kill ghosts?

She's not interested!

Looking for delicious food, it's not bad, so she will be the first to sign up.

……

Determine the candidate. The group of people retreated and each went about his or her own business.

However, after a while, Leng Yuekui returned quietly.

"Master, let me go on behalf of senior brother."

Leng Yuekui said softly, "I am more suitable than senior brother, I..."

"Have you figured it out?"

Chen Wuji said calmly, "Your physique can easily attract the ghost tribe. Once you go down the mountain and walk in the wild, to the ghost tribe and ghost slaves, you are like a bright light in the dark night. They can be sensed and seen from miles away." See you, and then rush over like crazy."

"Disciple knows."

Leng Yuekui nodded and said softly, "It is precisely because my disciple has a special physique and can attract ghosts that he is more qualified to replace senior brother and lure the hiding ghosts out to eliminate future troubles!"

"……it is good."

Chen Wuji thought for a while and agreed, "Now that you have thought about it, it is for the master. You can replace the boss and follow the third brother down the mountain to the city."

"Yes!"

Leng Yuekui responded respectfully, stepped back and left.

While Chen Wuji watched her leave, his spiritual consciousness sent Su Dayong through the air, informing him of Leng Yuekui's decision and that he had approved it.

Compared to Su Dayong, Leng Yuekui is indeed more suitable.

The ghost clan hiding outside the city relied on manpower to search like a carpet for no one knew how long it would take.

Moreover, with so many people out of the city and searching everywhere, the ghost clan must know about it.

"Qunfang Pavilion" has been cleared, and the ghost clan will probably escape far away.

That way, it would be more difficult to find out the ghost clan.

Leng Yuekui is different.

Her physique is naturally attractive to the ghost tribe.

Once she appears outside the city, there is a 90% chance that the ghost clan will be unable to resist and attack her.

However, Leng Yuekui is now in the flying realm, and Nan Jinyu is also in the flying realm.

Both Feitian realms have Chen Wuji's Shenxu sword energy stored in their bodies. Even if the ghosts they come to are third-level ghost generals and fourth-level ghost heroes, they can still resist them.

After blocking the first wave and the second wave, Chen Wuji will find out and rush over with lightning.

and so.

In terms of safety, Leng Yuekui and Nan Jinyu are guaranteed.

……

Leng Yuekui and Nan Jinyu arrived at Baihe City and stayed at the yamen in a quiet night.

Cao Fangfang was very happy.

While excited, he greeted the two of them warmly.

Unfortunately, Leng Yuekui and Nan Jinyu are not people who talk a lot.

After contacting Cao Fangfang and reporting it, he stayed at an inn near Jingyesi Yamen and waited for notification.

Cao Fangfang didn't mind this either.

In terms of cultivation and strength, he is no match for the two women.

Not to mention the identities of Nan Jinyu and Leng Yuekui, the people standing behind them.

He was overjoyed to have two people help him.

However, Cao Fangfang didn't know Leng Yuekui's physique.

Leng Yuekui and Nan Jinyu didn't say anything either.

Only a few people on Qingniu Mountain know about this matter.

The next day after the two people came down from the mountain, they followed Jingyesi's personnel and went out of the city to search everywhere.

……

Baihe City, to the west, in a dark ravine thirty miles away.

Deep in a newly opened cave.

"Return to the master, our preparations in the city have been destroyed."

In the dark cave, a black shadow swayed and reported hoarsely.

"This general already knows."

Deep in the cave, a cold, exhaling voice sounded softly, "It was Chen Wuji from Qianlongmen who did it, a master of the human race's divine sea realm, hehehe~"

There was silence in the cave.

There were more than a dozen shaking black figures, but none of them made a sound.

"What, are you scared?"

A cold and stern voice sounded again, "The human race in the Divine Sea Realm has discovered our identity and is guarding us in the city. Are you afraid?"

"I don't dare!"

In the darkness, a group of shadows swayed, half shorter.

"Humph~"

Leng Li shouted in a low voice, "This general admits that the human race's Divine Sea Realm is indeed troublesome, but he still can't stop this general's plan. As long as the door of hell is opened, Chen Wuji will also die!"

"Kill Chen Wuji!"

"Kill Chen Wuji!"

Groups of shadows kept surging.

"Haha, Chen Wuji is a variable now, and there are many ways to solve the variables."

The cold voice sneered, "Isn't he guarding the city? Then let him stay in the city!"

"Command down."

Brush brush!

The clusters of shadows immediately returned to their original state.

"Pass this general's order to immediately launch an operation against Qianlongmen according to the backup plan."

A cold voice shouted, "If Chen Wuji is guarding the city, then target his base camp, Qingniu Mountain. If Chen Wuji is guarding the mountain, then target Baihe City!"

"Yes!!"

……

Night falls.

Outside Baihe City, in the wilderness to the west.

Teams one after another were constantly searching in the mountains, forests and fields, sensing their surroundings.

"Have you heard that people from Qianlongmen are here too."

"Here we are, the two disciples of Sect Master Chen are both female disciples, one is prettier than the other."

"Hey, what do you want to do? Find out if someone is beautiful."

"I didn't want to do anything. I am self-aware. When I say this, I just feel that this person's life is so good."

"People are different from each other, and you don't even think about it..."

"Shh! What's the sound?"

A small team was discussing in low voices during the search. Suddenly, there was a strange noise coming from the front.

"Everyone on alert!"

The team leader waved, squatted on the ground, and whispered, "Everyone, be prepared. Once it is confirmed..."

"Da da da~"

Footsteps sounded.

A horned deer ran out of the woods ahead.

First he tilted his head and glanced at the team's location, then turned around and ran into the distance, disappearing into the darkness.

"..."

"Uncle, I thought they were ghosts!"

The team leader took a deep breath and slowly stood up silently, "Everyone, keep going, be careful..."

"Well, where are the people?"

The team leader turned around and looked behind him.

I found that all the team members following me had disappeared at some point! (End of chapter)
