Green Sun City, a certain residence.
Xia Ping was called out of the Scripture Pavilion by a soldier. He said that he had something to discuss with him, but it was an important matter and could not be known by anyone. It could not be done in the City Lord's Mansion, so he had to go somewhere else to chat.
He was skilled and bold, so he didn't worry about traps. He went straight to the appointment and entered the house.
As soon as he entered, he saw some people appear in the residence. Among them was Vice City Lord Tang Yu, and even the commander of the three armies of Green Sun City, Che Xiujun. Many of the upper echelons of Green Sun City had appeared, but the City Lord was not here.
"I didn't think that so many upper echelons of Green Sun City would come here. Is there something that cannot be discussed in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Xia Ping looked at this group of people.
"This matter is very important. It cannot be discussed in the City Lord's Mansion."
Vice City Lord Tang Yu stepped forward and sighed. "You might not believe it, but the entire City Lord's Mansion has been infiltrated by Dark Ghosts. Their comrades are everywhere, and Green Sun City is under their surveillance. Even the City Lord has become a Dark Ghost."
He clenched his fists, his expression one of grief.
"I didn't think that you would know that the City Lord has been possessed by Dark Ghosts."
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes.
"Do you know as well?"
Everyone was stunned. They hadn't thought that Xia Ping would be able to see through it.
"Of course I know. The ghostly Qi on their bodies is as dazzling as the sun. It would be strange if I didn't see it. But I have something I want to know, so I don't want to expose them for now," Xia Ping said indifferently.
He knew from the start that the City Lord and many of the elders had been possessed by Dark Ghosts. All of Green Sun City was filled with ghostly Qi, as if it had become a ghost realm.
But he did not act rashly, choosing to wait and see. After all, he had only just arrived and did not understand the situation.
"As expected of an expert who could kill over a hundred Dark Ghosts. Your observation skills are truly impressive," Tang Yu praised.
Xia Ping waved his hand. "There's no need for praise. Since you know that the City Lord and the others have been possessed by Dark Ghosts, why haven't you taken action and exterminated these Dark Ghosts?"
"If we could exterminate them, we naturally would," Che Xiujun said helplessly.
Che Xiujun helplessly said, "But by the time we learned of this matter, it was already too late. The City Lord and dozens of elders had already been killed and possessed by Dark Ghosts. Even quite a few of the soldiers' bodies had been taken over by Dark Ghosts.
If we alert them, these Dark Ghosts will definitely start a massacre. At that time, all the humans in Green Sun City will be exterminated, and we won't dare to act rashly. "
He felt extremely helpless. Even though they knew that the enemy was right next to them, they could only pretend that nothing had happened, pretending that they did not know that the City Lord had become a Dark Ghost.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with your business, but why did you suddenly call me over? Could it be that you want me to help you deal with Dark Ghost? "Xia Ping asked.
Tang Yu sighed. "This old man also knows that Little Friend Xia is powerful and that he was able to kill more than a hundred Dark Ghosts. His strength is extraordinary, but the Dark Ghosts are simply too powerful. How can one person deal with them?
Thus, this old man does not have extravagant hopes for Little Friend Xia's help. I have come this time mainly for Little Friend Xia's safety. Perhaps you do not know, but because you killed so many Dark Ghosts, Formless Mountain has already viewed you as a thorn in their side and wants to get rid of you as soon as possible.
They have already laid down an inescapable net in Green Sun City and sent over a thousand Dark Ghosts to guard it. These Dark Ghosts probably want to kill Little Friend Xia in Green Sun City. Thus, this old man has come to warn you that Little Friend Xia should quickly leave Green Sun City. This is not a place to stay for long. "
He looked very sincerely at Xia Ping.
"That's right. Based on the intelligence I have gathered, those Dark Ghosts plan on attacking you tonight. The situation is critical. If you don't leave now, it will likely be too late. "
Che Xiujun nodded. Although he had been defeated by Xia Ping, it was just a defeat. There was no deep hatred between the two, and they were both humans.
In front of powerful enemies like the Dark Ghosts and the yaomo, what did a few minor grudges count for?
"What will you do after I leave?"
Xia Ping asked.
"It's fine. We are just ordinary people. We are not that much of a threat to the Dark Ghosts. If there is no need, Formless Mountain will not deal with trash like us, "Tang Yu said sincerely.
Tang Yu sincerely said, "But Little Friend Xia is different. You have the ability to kill Dark Ghosts. In the future, you will definitely be a great help to us humans, a pillar of support against Dark Ghosts and Yaomo. You cannot die here.
Even if the Dark Ghosts fly into a rage out of humiliation and turn against us, that is fine. This old man has lived for too long, and his death is not to be regretted. The future will still depend on you young people. "
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a few soldiers barged in from outside. They were extremely flustered and immediately said, "Oh no, Commander, Elder Tang, the City Lord seems to have discovered our movements. He has already sent an army over to capture us."
At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside, brimming with fiendish energy. It was as if an army was bearing down on the border and lying in ambush.
"How could this be? How did this news get out? "
Quite a few people stood up.
"Quick, Little Friend Xia, there's no time. Hurry and run. We can't stay here for long."
Tang Yu's expression changed. "There just happens to be a secret underground passage here that can allow us to leave Green Sun City without anyone noticing. Little Friend Xia, hurry and leave through this passage. Do not be targeted by the City Lord, or else you won't be able to leave. I hadn't expected that even after all our calculations, we would still be discovered by the City Lord.
But Little Friend Xia, be at ease. Even if I have to sacrifice this old man's life, I won't let you die at the hands of these Dark Ghosts. Humans will never be slaves. "
He clenched his fists, his eyes shining with a determined light. He was already prepared to die a martyr's death.
"Official Xia, this way. The passage is this way."
Che Xiujie's expression was grave. Without hesitation, he led Xia Ping into the depths of this residence.
He skillfully opened a mechanism, immediately revealing an underground passage. It was unknown where it led to, but there were Night Pearls installed around it that could illuminate the passage.
Xia Ping nodded. Without a word, he followed Che Xiujie into the underground passage.
With Che Xiujie leading the way, after walking ten-some kilometers, they finally reached the end of the passage.
"Official Xia, this is the way. Once we exit this passage, we will be able to safely leave Green Sun City." Che Xiujie stepped forward and opened the passage, revealing the light outside.
Xia Ping followed Che Xiujie out of the passage. He immediately found that there was a desolate plain outside, only a few kilometers from Green Sun City.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! At this moment, over a thousand Dark Ghosts suddenly appeared on the originally empty plain. Ghostly Qi filled the air, turning it into a boundless land of death that let out cruel cackles.
"Human, we've been waiting for a long time," the Dark Ghosts cackled.
