"Oh? Where's the Ghost Army? What's their scale? "the cold-faced middle-aged man asked with a frown.
"It's in the Lost Forest, which is ten thousand miles south of Golden Light City. They have a Jin Dan Stage evil ghost commander, nearly a hundred ghost soldiers, and hundreds of ghost dogs," the man surnamed Min answered truthfully.
"Under such circumstances … it's not easy to break out of the encirclement. Can you tell me how you found the Good Fortune Bowl? "the cold-faced man nodded and changed the topic.
"It's like this. My team searched everywhere but to no avail. So, we went to a nearby Seven Aperture Ghost Tribe … Deputy Leader Liu went deep into the dangerous area alone and killed a Jin Dan Stage ghost. Then, he found the Good Fortune Bowl," the man surnamed Min said in full detail.
"So, Liu Ming has made a great contribution this time! Liu Ming, although you are a newcomer, the Golden Light Army rewards and punishes fairly. You have made a great contribution to be able to successfully find the Good Fortune Bowl this time … "After listening to Liu Ming, the middle-aged man with a cold face looked at him with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"Besides that, after we fell into the ghost formation, Deputy Leader Liu remained calm in the face of danger and reduced the casualties to the minimum," the man surnamed Min added before the cold-faced middle-aged man could finish.
"Very good. Besides the promised reward for this mission, Liu Ming can get two Jin Dan Stage Yin Nuclei. You can choose any of them from the military warehouse. Besides that, you'll be rewarded with an additional 100,000 Sect Contribution Points. Someone will send them to you later, "the cold-faced middle-aged man said without hesitation.
"Thank you, Elder Gu." Liu Ming cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
"Alright, Liu Ming, you can leave now. Min Rong, please stay. Team Seven has lost two disciples. I need to discuss with you whether it's appropriate to replace them. "The Elder surnamed Gu ordered Liu Ming to leave after saying a few words.
Liu Ming had no interest in the internal affairs of Jin Guangjun, so he immediately bid farewell and left.
In the hall, the man surnamed Min continued to speak with the cold-faced middle-aged man.
"Was Liu Ming's performance really as outstanding as you described?" Elder Gu asked solemnly.
"That is indeed the case. According to my observations, although this child's cultivation is at the False Core stage, his true strength should be comparable to mine. In particular, this child's Bone Scorpion spirit pet seems to be able to restrain some ghosts." The man surnamed Min slowly said.
"Alright, I understand. You can go and receive your team's reward first. As for the few team candidates you mentioned, I will consider them." After thinking for a while, the cold-faced man also sent off the team leader Jin Dan.
Liu Ming was naturally unaware of the conversation between the two of them. He'd returned to his abode a long time ago, and he was sitting cross-legged as he pondered silently.
His biggest gain this time was that he learned that Che Huan's phantom could also devour ghosts. Although the effect was far less than that of a monster's soul, it did slightly improve his totem mystic arts.
If Che Huan's phantom could continue to devour a large number of ghosts, it might really be possible for him to directly reach the advanced level.
After thinking so, Liu Ming immediately made a gesture with one hand, and he forced his spiritual power to the totem on his shoulder. A green light shone from his clothes, and a huge vivid green bull phantom jumped out. It roared silently towards the sky, and the spiritual patterns on its body were faintly brighter than before.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ming revealed a thoughtful look.
…
In a closed room of the main tower of Golden Light City, an ordinary-looking old man with messy white hair in a red robe stood there. On a table in front of him, there was the fortune bowl that Liu Ming and the others found.
The old man looked at the bowl quietly, and his eyes stopped on the scratches on the bowl. He showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
In the room, Haoyue Boy and the middle-aged man with a cold face were standing aside respectfully.
After a moment, the white-haired old man suddenly said, "Fortunately, this Good Fortune Bowl was only scratched a little and its spirituality was slightly damaged. However, it didn't damage the Origin Restriction. After a little repair, it can be used again."
"Great, thank you, Master's Junior Yao." Haoyue Boy and the middle-aged man said respectfully with a sigh of relief.
Although the two of them were elders in the Golden Light Army and had high statuses, the old man in front of them was a grand cultivator at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Moreover, he was also known as one of the Three Spirits of the Grand Clear Lineage, a grandmaster weaponsmith. He was one of the true higher-ups in the Golden Light Army.
The 4 ancient sects took turns to send a Metaphysic Enlightenment power to guard the Evil Ghost Path. The power would be changed every 100 years. Now, the power to guard the Evil Ghost Path was a grand elder of Taiqing Gate.
However, this Metaphysic Enlightenment power was usually not in Golden Light City, but lived in seclusion somewhere near the human stronghold. Under normal circumstances, he would not care about the affairs of the human army. Therefore, all the affairs in Golden Light City, big or small, were decided by the elders of Celestial Image Realm.
"Leave the fortune bowl with me. Send someone to pick it up in half a month." The grey-haired old man thought of something and said calmly.
"Yes." Haoyue Boy and the middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"By the way, about the sudden attack of the Evil Ghost Legion on Fort XIX, how is your investigation going?" The old man suddenly changed the topic and asked another question.
Haoyue Boy and the middle-aged man exchanged glances and coughed slightly, saying,
"According to the report, Fort XIX should have been attacked by a large group of the Evil Ghost Legion, and then it was completely destroyed. This time, the Evil Ghost Legion didn't launch an attack like before, which seemed to be well-prepared. Moreover, during this period of time, the other fortresses also reported that they had discovered the abnormal movements of the Evil Ghost Legion. Combining these situations, I'm afraid that this attack is more like a test. After all, the last great war was a long time ago. "
"Oh, so that's what you think." Hearing this, the grey-haired old man nodded his head. His face was calm, and no one could tell what he was actually thinking.
Seeing this, Haoyue Boy immediately shut his mouth, and the room fell into silence.
"I've just received news that the other three sects' encampments and fortresses have been frequently attacked by the Evil Ghost Legion recently. From various signs, it's obviously organized. Speaking of which, the Evil Ghost Legion will launch a large scale attack every hundred years. Now that I think about it, it should be about time. "The old man said with a sigh after being silent for a long time.
"Master's Uncle Yao, if that's the case, should we take some countermeasures? Although most of the people guarding the outer fortresses are outer disciples, if there are too many casualties, the Sect will also have an opinion. "Haoyue Boy frowned and asked tentatively.
"You don't have to worry too much about this. We've long been aware of the unusual movements of the Ghost Legion, and the four major legions have secretly reached an agreement not long ago. They've decided to adopt the strategy of attacking with attacking. They'll send their main force to quickly destroy a few small encampments of the Evil Ghost Legion and deal a blow to their morale. "The grey-haired old man's voice was flat.
Hearing this, Haoyue Boy and Gu Yue's hearts trembled.
Although the grey-haired old man's tone was calm, anyone could tell that this was a big operation that could turn the Evil Ghost Realm upside down. Who knew how many disciples of the four ancient sects would stay in the vast Evil Ghost Realm forever because of this.
"After so many years of fighting, the Evil Ghost Legion has become more and more cunning. Their encampments often change. Based on the information we have now, I'm afraid it won't be easy to complete this operation. Gu Yue, I'll leave the matter of spying on the Evil Ghost Legion to you. You should know what to do. "Saying this, the old man paused and looked at the middle-aged man with the surname Gu who had been silent.
"Disciple knows what to do. Please rest assured, Martial Uncle." The middle-aged man's eyes moved and he replied in a deep voice.
After the three of them discussed for a while, Haoyue Boy and Gu Yue left the room.
After leaving the room, Haoyue Boy asked curiously, "Brother Gu, Martial Uncle Yao just said that he obtained information on the Evil Ghost Legion. What's going on?"
"Brother Haoyue hasn't been in the Evil Ghost Realm for a long time, so I haven't had the time to mention this to you. In order to accurately obtain information on the Evil Ghost Legion, the higher-ups have actually placed spies in the Evil Ghost Legion a long time ago. "The middle-aged man with the surname Gu said slowly.
"There's such a thing …" Haoyue Boy said in surprise.
"For the sake of secrecy, there are very few Deacon Elders who know about this." The middle-aged man with the surname Gu glanced at Haoyue Boy and said.
"So that's how it is. However, if that's the case, obtaining information on the Evil Ghost Legion will be much easier." Haoyue Boy's eyebrows relaxed slightly as he nodded.
"Even so, the spy is currently in the Evil Ghost Legion's Giant Mountain Stronghold. In order to not expose his identity, he can't leave the stronghold. We still need to send someone to obtain the information. However, we still need to carefully consider the candidate." The middle-aged man with the surname Gu revealed a thoughtful expression.
"There's one person who might be able to take on this responsibility!" Hearing this, Haoyue Boy's eyes lit up.
… …
Two days later.
In the cave of Team Seven in Jin Guangjun's encampment.
At this moment, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat with his two hands forming a seal. Within his Spiritual Sea, a thumb-sized blood-colored bead was slowly rotating. Its surface was surrounded by a bloody mist that constantly expanded and contracted.
All of a sudden, the Golden Light Army's token on his waist lit up and started to tremble slightly.
"Eh, could it be that the Sect has another mission?"
He, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and formed a seal. The token lit up with a burst of light and a few lines of small words appeared.
His gaze quickly swept over the words and his expression changed slightly.
This message was sent by Haoyue Boy. He wanted Liu Ming to hurry to the Main Tower. There was something important to discuss, but the message didn't say what it was.
A strange light flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. After thinking for a while, he stood up and left the cave. He rode a cloud towards the tall tower in the center of the city.
Not long after, he arrived at the brightly lit hall of the tower.
At this moment, in the hall, Haoyue Boy and the middle-aged man with the surname Gu were softly talking about something. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"Greetings to the two elders." After entering the hall, Liu Ming cupped his hands and bowed to the two.
"I didn't expect Liu to come so soon. No need to be so polite. Come over." Haoyue Boy smiled and waved at him.
The cold-faced man also showed a trace of a smile.
"May I know why the two elders sent a message for me to come here?" Liu Ming took a few steps forward and asked calmly.
