"Before I talk about the mission, I want to ask you all a question. You all know a little about the situation in Chang 'an City. What do you think about the current situation?" Cheng Yaojin looked at the five people and asked.
The five people heard this and were stunned. For a moment, no one answered.
"Everyone here is a man. There is no need to be restrained or evasive. Just say what you want to say." Cheng Yaojin smiled.
Cheng Yaojin's smile eased the serious atmosphere in the stone room. The tense mood of the five people also relaxed.
"Since Lord Duke has said so, this one will speak frankly. Although the ghosts in the southern part of the city are running rampant, our Great Tang is strong and has many talented people. With Duke Cheng leading the army, it is more than enough to stop those ghosts. Once the reinforcements from outside arrive, I believe that those ghosts will immediately crumble …" Dan Yangzi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
The others nodded secretly. Obviously, they all felt the same, including Shen Luo.
"Reinforcements? You are counting on the people of the Transformation Temple and Mount Putuo? "Cheng Yaojin said.
"The Transformation Temple and Mount Putuo have always been on the same side as the Tang Empire. With such a serious ghost attack in Chang 'an City, the two sects should not sit idly by, right?" Dan Yangzi said.
Cheng Yaojin and Master Huang Mu were silent. Their expressions were somewhat dignified.
"Could it be that the situation has changed? Did something happen to the two sects?" Shen Luo looked at the two and could not help but ask.
The other people's expressions also changed slightly.
"What I am about to tell you is very important. You must not spread it." Master Huang Mu and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and slowly said.
The five people looked at Master Huang Mu's serious expression and nodded.
"Little friend Shen's guess is right. The Transformation Temple and Mount Putuo have both had major changes in recent days. Several elders of the Transformation Temple betrayed the sect and poisoned the sect before betraying, causing a large number of disciples to be poisoned. A demon cave suppressed by Mount Putuo suddenly rebelled. Mount Putuo had no choice but to send a large number of disciples to suppress it. Therefore, the two sects will not have any reinforcements. "Master Huang Mu said in a deep voice.
"What!" Shen Luo and the other four were shocked.
"This is the current situation. We can't rely on the reinforcements outside. We have to rely on our own strength to deal with the ghosts outside," Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.
Ge Tianqing, who had been silent all this while, asked, "My Lord, please forgive me for offending you. Although there are a lot of ghosts outside, and there are demons hiding in the Body-Refining Altar, they haven't shown up yet. So far, they haven't shown up yet. With your and Master Huang Mu's high cultivation, are you still unable to defeat them?"
"If it's just those ghosts outside, us old fellows would naturally be able to exterminate them easily." Cheng Yaojin said without any hesitation.
"Then why …" Ge Tianqing frowned.
"You don't know. This ghost plague is not as simple as you think. The Body-Refining Altar has used some unknown method to summon several Ghost Kings from the ancient tomb of the Yin Ling Mountain to Chang 'an City. The strength of the Body-Refining Altar itself is also far beyond your expectations. In addition, Jinghe Dragon King was released a few days ago. The enemy's strength is abnormally strong. In fact, we old fellows have already secretly fought with them several times, and the outcome has not been decided yet." Cheng Yaojin sighed and revealed a secret.
When Shen Luo heard this, he suddenly understood.
No wonder the real experts of the Tang Empire had not appeared on the battlefield even though the ghost plague had appeared for more than a month. It turned out that they had been secretly confronting each other.
Master Huang Mu coughed twice and said with a sigh, "What do you mean by the outcome has not been decided yet? We are clearly at a disadvantage. In the last battle, if My Lord had not helped us, my old bones would have been destroyed by that evil dragon."
Hearing this, the five people's faces could not help but darken.
"We already know the real situation in Chang 'an City. I don't know what My Lord wants us to do?" Dan Yangzi asked.
"Although the enemy this time is powerful, it is not completely invulnerable. Whether it is the ghosts outside the city or the Ghost Kings in the ancient tomb of the Yin Ling Mountain, they are all summoned by the Body-Refining Altar with a kind of Summoning Array. As long as we can find a way to destroy those Summoning Arrays, we can greatly weaken the enemy's combat power and our chances of winning will greatly increase." Cheng Yaojin said.
Hearing this, the five people looked at each other for a moment.
"My Lord, do you want us to destroy those Summoning Arrays?" Red Hand Immortal asked.
"Yes." Cheng Yaojin nodded.
Shen Luo recalled the Summoning Array that he had seen before. There must be many such Summoning Arrays in Chang 'an City.
The Body-Refining Altar must also know the importance of the Summoning Arrays and will certainly send masters to guard those Summoning Arrays. However, if those guarding Summoning Arrays were at the level of Taoist Cang Mu and Nü Chuan, with the strength of the five people present, as long as they could accurately know the location of those Summoning Arrays, it would not be difficult to launch a surprise attack one by one.
"I think you all know the existence of those Summoning Arrays. According to the information we have received, there are nearly a hundred Summoning Arrays in the city, but those are all small Summoning Arrays on the periphery. They are connected to a very secret Summoning Array in the south of the city, which has the ability to summon ghosts. Moreover, they can only summon some weak ghosts. In fact, it is not very meaningful." Cheng Yaojin continued.
"My Lord … You, you want us to destroy that Summoning Array …" Red Hand Immortal stammered.
The other four people also widened their eyes.
"Yes, Lord Cheng and I want you to destroy that Summoning Array." Master Huang Mu said.
The five people present stood there with their mouths agape. They may be talented and could stand out among the cultivators of the same level, and even be able to fight against cultivators who were one or two levels higher than them, but after all, they were only at the Soul Condensing Stage. In the Immortal Cultivation World, they could only be regarded as juniors.
"Master, Senior Huang Mu, it's not that we are timid, but with our strength, even if we try to sneak into the south of the city, we will certainly be quickly discovered by the masters of those ghosts. It will be a futile effort to die." Lu Huaming couldn't help but say.
"You don't have to worry. Since Lord Cheng and I want you to carry out this task, naturally, we have made a thorough consideration. Three days later, the Tang Empire's government will launch a full-scale counterattack. We old fellows will also take action. We will contain all the masters above the Out-of-Body Stage, and you will take this opportunity to sneak into the south of the city, find the Summoning Array, and destroy it. "Master Huang Mu said.
Hearing this, the five people's complexions were a little better.
"How can we sneak into the south of the city? The aura of us human cultivators is completely different from that of ghosts. Ghosts are very sensitive to the aura of living people. Even if there are no masters in the opposite camp, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to sneak in. Moreover, the Summoning Array is so important, it will certainly be hidden very well. Even if we can sneak in, we won't be able to find it in a short time. "Shen Luo said with a frown.
