"This is an underground stone chamber near the city. You can rest here for a while. When the inhibition on the door disappears, you will immediately sneak into the south of the city. As for how to contact the spy, it's in this jade slip. Nephew Lu, this thing is for you to keep. "Huang Mu took out a jade slip and gave it to Lu Huaming.
The other four did not say anything when they saw this.
Among the five people, only Lu Huaming was from the Tang government. Cheng Yaojin and Huang Mu naturally trusted him the most.
"Little friends, a snake can't do without a head. Nephew Lu's cultivation may not be the highest among you, but he usually performs the most tasks. He is also quite good at adapting to the enemy. How about this operation of the five of you, Nephew Lu will be the leader?" Huang Mu looked at the other four people and said.
"Brother Lu's master is Duke Cheng. His ability to devise strategies and command battles is far better than ours. It can't be better for him to be the leader." Shen Luo nodded.
The other three nodded one after another to show their agreement.
Huang Mu saw this and a smile appeared on his face. With a flash of yellow light, he disappeared from the stone chamber.
"I, Lu Huaming, thank you for your trust. I cannot complete this mission alone. Please lend me a hand." Lu Huaming cupped his hands and said to the other four.
"Brother Lu, you don't have to be so polite. Since Huang Mu has given you the command of the task, you can do it freely. We will certainly act according to your instructions." Dan Yangzi smiled and said.
"Thank you. According to what Master and Huang Mu said before, the task will be completed in three days. During this period, you can rest here first. As for the details, we will talk about it when the task begins." Lu Huaming said.
The others had the same idea. Hearing this, they found a place to sit down in the stone chamber and closed their eyes to practice.
Shen Luo went to a corner of the stone chamber and sat down. He took out the Ink-Armor Shield from the Storage Amulet and ran the Nine-by-Nine Treasure Formula to refine it quickly.
The others seemed to be doing the same thing, preparing for the upcoming battle.
…
Three days later.
In the morning, a bell from the Mercy Temple broke the silence of Chang 'an City.
Outside the Vermillion Bird Gate of the Northern Imperial City, a team of Imperial Guards and a team of Dragon Guards were guarding the square on both sides of the city gate. There were close to ten thousand people each, and all of them were armed and ready to go.
In the open space in front of the formation, there were hundreds of cultivators from various sects and Rogue Cultivators from all over Chang 'an. They were lined up neatly according to the original division, waiting for instructions from the peak.
Zhou Meng and the others were also in the team, but their squad leader had been replaced by an old man in a gray robe.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on? It looks like something big is about to happen … "Zhou Meng looked at Zhao Tingsheng and asked.
After fighting side by side for such a long time, the two of them had gone through life and death together. The relationship between them had changed quite a bit, and they had become quite close.
"I don't know. We were suddenly notified to gather last night. There was no news at all." Zhao Tingsheng shook his head and said with a solemn expression.
"I've looked around, but I didn't see Senior Shen. Speaking of which, he hasn't taken us on a mission for a long time." Zhou Meng looked around and said.
"Senior Shen is different from us. I guess he's off on some special mission again." Zhao Tingsheng touched his chin and guessed.
"However, to be honest, I still feel safer following Senior Shen," Zhou Meng said with a silly smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, an Out-of-Body Marking Leader standing a little further ahead turned his head and looked at them. He signaled with his eyes that the two of them should be quiet and not act rashly.
Zhou Meng and Zhou Meng immediately stopped talking and looked straight ahead.
At this moment, several red lights floated down from the sky and landed on the top of the city wall of the Vermillion Bird Gate, looking down at the crowd.
Seeing this, the twenty thousand armored soldiers of the Tang Empire all punched their chests and saluted to the top of the city wall in unison.
"Greetings, High Duke Cheng. Greetings, seniors." The hundreds of cultivators also saluted to the top of the city wall and shouted.
Then, the twenty thousand armored soldiers shouted louder and louder.
"Mighty, mighty, mighty …"
As the shouts rang out, a fierce fighting spirit began to spread throughout the square.
"Everyone, Chang 'an has been suffering from the ghost plague for a long time. I know that everyone has been suppressing the anger in your hearts for a long time. Today is the time for you to vent your anger. It's also the day we get rid of the ghost plague in one fell swoop. Do you dare to follow me to the south of the city and drive those filthy things out of Chang 'an? "Cheng Yaojin glanced at the crowd below the city wall and shouted loudly.
"We're willing to follow the High Duke to get rid of the ghost plague. We'll die ten thousand deaths …"
"We'll die ten thousand deaths …"
"We'll die ten thousand deaths …"
Waves of heroic voices rang out one after another and did not stop for a long time.
Cheng Yaojin was very satisfied. He stroked his beard and nodded with a face full of smiles. Master Huang Mu and the others beside him looked at each other. Their eyes also had a bit of a smile.
"When the ghost plague in Chang 'an is eliminated, we'll celebrate with wine for you. Let's go!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and gave the order. The cultivators in the square and the soldiers of the Tang Empire all set off toward the south of the city.
…
At the same time, in a dark stone room under an old house in the south of the city.
Shen Luo and the other four were still sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed. They were all meditating and cultivating.
At this time, a yellow light suddenly lit up on the door of the stone room. A layer of complicated restrictive runes emerged from the surface and began to flicker faintly like fireflies.
The first one to notice the abnormality was Ge Tianqing, who had the highest cultivation among them. However, he just opened his eyes and looked at it for a while. Then he closed his eyes again and continued to meditate and cultivate. The black electric threads around his body gradually returned to his body.
Not long after, Shen Luo also opened his eyes. His eyes fell on the runes of the restrictive runes on the door. He subconsciously began to observe the changes of the runes on the runes in detail, but he forgot to remind the others.
However, immediately after, Lu Huaming's voice sounded, "It seems that the restrictive runes on this door are about to disappear. It's time for us to make a move."
As soon as his voice fell, Dan Yangzi and the Red Hand Immortal also woke up and looked over here.
After the runes on the door flickered a few times, the light began to gradually dissipate and eventually turned into nothingness.
Shen Luo closed his eyes and recalled for a moment. He re-sketched the restrictive runes in his mind and remembered its appearance in his mind.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Lu Huaming and the others had taken out the Yin Spirit Runes and activated them.
Black runes appeared on the surface of their bodies. Under the influence of the black fog, they turned into the appearance of ghosts and ghosts.
Shen Luo immediately activated his Yin Spirit Runes. Like them, he turned into a ghost.
