On the 30th, I'm going to participate in the explosive novel activity. I'm going to adjust my state for the next few days and get ready to work my ass off. I'm going to go all out.]
Putting aside the matter of Meng Qi going to meet Meng Po, with the end of the Yellow Spring Auction, the surrounding situation had undergone fundamental changes. A steady stream of ghost servants and ferrymen came from all over the place and appeared outside Red Flame City. They had already surrounded it, and even a fly might not be able to fly in. Red Flame City was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds. It seemed that it would be attacked by a storm at any time.
At this moment, under the cover of the night, an inconspicuous paper doll was carefully drifting with the wind, entering Red Flame City through a narrow gap under the city gate. After entering the city, it continued to move stealthily in the shadows. As long as there was any movement, it would immediately stop moving, landing on the ground, landing on the roof, in any case, it was specifically looking for a place to stay that would not attract attention.
On the way, there were cultivators who saw the paper man on the ground, but they didn't care and just glanced at it.
The key was that this paper man was dirty and gray, making people feel disgusted at a glance. Why would they be willing to take a few more looks? And it was only the size of a palm.
If one looked closely, they would see that the two eyes on the paper man were constantly flashing with a strange spiritual light, emerging with the light of wisdom. It was clearly intelligent and not a dead thing.
"According to the news from the Yellow Spring Inn, the Red Robe Ghost King, the City Lord of Red Flame City, has angered the public and attracted a large number of ghost messengers. The entire Red Flame City has been besieged. This time, the Red Robe Ghost King is definitely doomed. This time, I will use the Possession Technique to possess the paper figurine. I will first investigate the layout of the city and find the location of the Red Robed Ghost King's treasures. At that time, when the battle starts, I can take advantage of the chaos to enter the location of the treasures and take all the treasures away.
"This time, I didn't get anything good in the Pharaoh's tomb. If I can get the treasure from the Red Robe Ghost King, it can make up for the previous losses, and even give me a big harvest."
This paper man was naturally the thing that the Papermaker had possessed.
A Ghost King's treasure was an extremely attractive thing, and no one could turn a blind eye to it.
"Tsk tsk, there are quite a lot of Underworld creatures in Scarlet Flame City, much more than in Yellow Spring Inn." Paper Craftsman was secretly excited. The more majestic this Scarlet Flame City was, the better. That way, the possibility of having treasures was higher.
A paper doll floated aimlessly in the city.
In fact, the paper man was always moving towards the area where the Red Flame City Lord's Mansion was located. In order to remain hidden, he didn't move too quickly. Of course, the Papermaker was patient.
Without alerting anyone, he had already appeared in the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards in the residence naturally wouldn't be wary of a mere paper figurine. Not to mention that they didn't see it, even if they did, they wouldn't pay much attention to it.
"So big, but this place is too hot. Could it be that there is a fire vein under the City Lord's Mansion? The fire veins in the Yin Realm all carried a kind of cold Yin Qi. Forget it, let's not care about this. Let's find the treasury first. "
The Papercraft Craftsman waved his tiny arms and legs, wiping his nonexistent sweat.
He quickly searched the City Lord's Mansion. Because he wasn't familiar with the environment, it was naturally extremely difficult to find the location of the treasury. Before he knew it, he had already arrived outside a quiet room.
"What a blazing aura. Not only is there Yin Fire here, there's also a kind of blazing Yang Fire. What's going on? Why would Yang Fire appear in the Yin Realm? "The Papercraft Craftsman was secretly surprised, and a strong sense of curiosity grew in him.
After looking around and confirming that there were no guards, he carefully squeezed in through the gap in the door. His eyes peeked out in the quiet room, and he quickly scanned the surroundings. What he saw almost made him jump in fright on the spot.
In the quiet room, he could see many imprisoned souls standing in front of him, motionless. In the middle, a ghostly cultivator dressed in a red robe sat cross-legged. Two types of flames, one black and one white, crisscrossed on his body. His chest constantly emitted light, and within the light, there seemed to be a black and white furnace operating. Within the furnace, the black and white flames were constantly colliding. A small black and white flame appeared in the middle. Within the flame, there was a kind of Yin and Yang Qi fluctuating.
"Ants like you can become nourishment for me to become stronger. That's the good fortune you've cultivated in your previous lives. My Yin Yang True Fire is about to make a breakthrough. As long as I condense the Yin Yang Divine Fire, I will be able to move unhindered in the netherworld. So what if it's an army of ghost messengers? Do you really think that I'm not leaving because I'm surrounded and unable to escape? This King can leave at any time if he wants to, but I don't need to leave at all. Let's go, where are there so many souls for me to devour? "
The Red Robed Ghost King sneered.
How could he not know what was happening outside? He didn't run away because he naturally had something to rely on. His greatest reliance was his own strength and confidence. Even if the army of ghost messengers came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Furthermore, he couldn't leave.
The Yin Yang Divine Flame had to devour living souls. Once it left, without a supply of living souls, its cultivation would be stagnant. At the same time, it would suffer a great backlash, and the flame in its body could go out of control at any time.
Therefore, he did not want to leave at all.
Now, he was very close to condensing the Yin Yang Divine Fire. Once he succeeded, there would be no need to fear an army.
"Come to me."
The Red Robed Ghost King sneered as he looked at the living souls in front of him. When he opened his mouth, a powerful devouring force was emitted. In an instant, dozens of living souls in the quiet room were swallowed into his stomach and sent into the Yin Yang Furnace in his body.
These living souls turned into fuel, instantly causing the flame in the furnace to burn even more vigorously and more fiercely. Even the flame itself was growing, becoming stronger. The Red Robed Ghost King's face revealed a deep sense of intoxication, as if it was a supreme enjoyment. The feeling could be said to be perfect.
During this process, the Red Robed Ghost King did not notice that a paper doll was quietly sneaking out from the crack of the door and quickly hiding in a remote corner.
It stretched out its small hand and patted its chest, seemingly heaving a sigh of relief.
It cried out in its heart, "How savage, how truly savage. Those are living souls, and he actually swallowed them just like that. Using living souls as nourishment, what kind of divine ability is he cultivating? The fusion of extreme Yin and extreme Yang is terrifying no matter how I look at it. This is definitely a top-notch great divine ability. If I really let him cultivate it successfully, wouldn't this encirclement be in vain, or even suffer heavy losses? "
He felt that he had discovered something extraordinary.
"No, I can't let this Red Robed Ghost King continue to devour living souls. Once he cultivates a great divine ability, the harm it will cause will be too great. Flames have a greater restraint on me. These living souls were obviously forcibly imprisoned from the world of the living. His divine ability requires living souls and ghosts from the netherworld to be nourished together. Only when Yin and Yang are balanced can it be successful. If I save all the living souls, I might be able to stop him. "
The paper-binder's mind was spinning rapidly.
At this moment, he felt that it was necessary for him to do something. Even if he couldn't save them, he had to first investigate the specific information and then pass it on to the ghost servants outside.
No matter what he thought in his heart, he did the same.
He didn't leave immediately, but hid outside the quiet room where the Red Robed Ghost King was cultivating in seclusion, waiting quietly.
"The living souls have been used up. Immediately go to the dungeon and send another batch of living souls over." In the quiet room, the Red Robed Ghost King ordered.
"Yes, my king!!"
Nearby, there was a response.
A group of ghost soldiers appeared and quickly walked outside.
And when they walked past a dark corner, a paper man had already silently appeared behind the back of a ghost soldier at the back. The sky was dark, and the paper man was inconspicuous, so they didn't feel the slightest bit strange at all.
The ghost army's goal was very clear, and they headed straight for the dungeon.
Unknowingly, they had already arrived at the dungeon.
After taking out the token, the ghost army guarding the dungeon opened the dungeon. They allowed them to enter. When they entered, the guard once again closed the dungeon. It could be said that they were very cautious, not giving any living souls a chance to escape.
"Good lord, this is the dungeon, and it's actually built underground. Moreover, so many living souls have been captured. How many people has this Red Robed Ghost King killed? How many souls in the world of the living? "
The paper-binder looked around, and he was also given a fright. There were many prison cells around it, all of which were filled with living souls.
When these living souls saw the ghost army, they were in an uproar. Most of them cursed, and each of them wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood. All kinds of unpleasant words swept over like a tidal wave. If all kinds of curses could come true, these ghost soldiers would have long been cut into pieces. Unfortunately, these verbal cannons had no effect on the ghost army.
Their hearts had long become iron and stone.
They unceremoniously detained a group of living souls from one of the cells, forcibly pulled them out, and walked out of the dungeon.
After they left, the living souls in the dungeon returned to silence again, and each of them had despair in their eyes. Staying here was no different from waiting for death. Perhaps they would die in the next moment, or perhaps they might be lucky enough to live for a few more days, but it was meaningless. They would die sooner or later.
They didn't have much hope of leaving this place anymore.
"Sigh, if only someone could come and save us."
"Stop dreaming. This is the underworld, and we're all dead. It's impossible for us to return to the world of the living. I saw my body torn into pieces with my own eyes, and I won't be able to survive even if I go back. Now, what I'm most looking forward to is a chance of reincarnation. Entering the cycle of reincarnation is better than having my soul completely destroyed. "
In the dungeon, the living souls sighed.
This was hope amidst despair.
"There's hope, there's hope."
At this moment, a voice sounded out of nowhere.
It seemed a little abrupt in the dungeon.
There was no ghost army in the dungeon, only living souls and ghosts that were imprisoned. This sound did not come from the living souls, nor did it come from a malicious ghost. This caused all the living souls to tremble. They hurriedly looked around and began to search for the source of the sound.
