"Let's go!"
A powerful team slowly drove out of the mountain range.
In the middle of the dozens of guards, there was a specially made hovering car. There were transparent spherical covers on top of the car, and they were placed evenly on top of the car.
The entire car was engraved with all kinds of formations. Most of them were defensive formations and stabilizing spirit gathering formations. On the side, there were streams of pure black water that were turning into streams to replenish the spherical shields. When these weak descendants arrived at Ghost City, they would have enough strength to withstand the pressure and aura there.
Back then, there were no defenses at all. It was easy to transport them away with the car. However, since some uncontrollable Yao Souls appeared in the outside world, everything changed.
Although the lake water could produce some normal Yao Souls as subordinates, and they could use the power inside to nurture their own descendants, some uncontrollable Yao Souls could also be born outside.
Because these Yao Souls were not born in the Soul Lake, even Wen Tianhou could not control them. He could only let other controlled Yao Souls kill them.
They had all kinds of strange appearances, but they were still based on the existing Yao Souls. It was as if there was some kind of connection between them. Unfortunately, most of these Yao Souls would not return, and they were not liked by the Soul Race.
In addition to the killing of the Soul Race, the conflict between the two sides appeared. Although the Soul Race was at an absolute disadvantage in the beginning, as they gradually hid and grew stronger, they began to attack the Soul Race. There was an absolute hatred between the two sides.
Although they had different forms, and other than the three special races, there were all kinds of forms. Every one of them was an independent existence.
Even now, they were still in conflict. A battle could break out at any time. However, the latter were scattered. Although there were strong and weak, they were still not as strong as the Soul Race.
After all, they were only strong because they were born in the outside world. Also, the Soul Race sent out patrols to look for newly born wild souls and kill them to reduce their numbers.
Of course, the wild souls could not be so passive. They would find members of the Soul Race who were alone or careless outside. As for attacking these cities and the Soul Lakes that were protected by the core, they could not do it.
In short, to the Yao Souls, these were all troublesome fleas. Although they were not harmful, they were very annoying.
The reason why there were so many guards was to prevent the other party from coming out and causing trouble. Compared to the other party's strength, these guards were more than enough. They were all core disciples of the elite clans.
Because the city they lived in was one of the Four Spirits, their descendants couldn't stay near the Soul Lake or enter the city directly. They could only use this stupid method.
As for the other cities that weren't part of the Four Cities, they could quickly bring their descendants back. However, no matter how strict the management was, the other party could still sneak in and cause trouble. The Four Cities didn't have such a problem, so there were gains and losses.
Those wandering souls basically wouldn't touch the people of the four cities and above. After all, the other cities were relatively easier to bully.
It was relatively easy to nurture demonic souls in the outside world. However, due to the distribution of demonic souls and the need to nurture ordinary subordinates, the number of demonic souls available was relatively limited. Furthermore, due to the warnings from the higher-ups, the development of demonic souls was even slower. However, overall, it was much better than before. Although it was slow, it was still slowly increasing.
However, there were exceptions to everything.
When this elite team brought their descendants back step by step, they had already been targeted by a group of people.
Just as they left the range of the mountain range, a demonic soul that had been watching them from afar saw them leave with his own eyes. Only then did he transform into a black mist and rapidly retreat.
"Lord Yin, the other party has already left. If nothing unexpected happens, they will follow the same path to Ghost City."
The black mist entered through an extremely narrow crack at the side of the mountain range and arrived at a spacious cave. He spoke to the group that had been waiting for a long time.
"Alright. The other party's patrol team killed so many of our people last time. This time, we have to teach them a lesson no matter what."
The leader, Lord Yin, was a Corpse Soul. He had the combat strength of a peak Ghost Soul. After hearing this, he immediately stood up and shouted.
Almost fifty wandering souls were gathered in this small cave. None of them were weak. The weakest of them was at the late stage of the Ghost Soul Realm. Moreover, there were also other companions waiting outside.
"The other party definitely won't expect us to be the first to attack them. However, after we succeed, we have to hide for a period of time. We must not be discovered by them." Another wandering soul was a black monster with a green face and fangs. It had four arms and bulging muscles. It wasn't any weaker than the Corpse Soul.
Most of the other wandering souls were of various shapes and sizes. They all looked similar to the Ghoul Soul Realm, but there were some differences in certain areas.
"Of course. No one is stupid. Speaking of which, if that person hadn't transferred them over after a period of time, we wouldn't have had a chance at all," another wandering soul said with some indignation.
In reality, these wandering souls only pursued the right to live. After leaving the core area, although it was safer, there were still bandits, so it wasn't much safer. The black water that could provide for them outside was of low quality and couldn't satisfy their needs.
Correspondingly, most of the wandering souls outside were weaker. Most of them didn't have any thoughts of their own and were muddle-headed. Most of them were killed by the wandering bandits. They weren't as mature as the wandering souls. They naturally knew everything here. Although they needed some training, they weren't as helpless as the wandering souls.
This was also their ability to survive tenaciously.
Even if a batch died, more wandering souls would be born. Unless they severed their own Soul Lake, there would always be wandering souls born. It was impossible to kill all of them.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's wait for them to come. That Baby Jun is always complaining that he's lonely with only a dozen or so people. Let's add some companions to him and give him something to do."
The leading Ghoul of the Dead laughed and led the group out of the secret passage.
They often stole the newborn descendants of the Ghoul Souls. Then, under their adorable nurturing, they completely turned them into puppet warriors that belonged to them. It was as if they had been brainwashed.
After they gathered, they set up an ambush in a seemingly impossible place after the Ghoul Souls left. They quietly waited for the Ghoul Souls to arrive.
As the captain of the guards, Hai Yang felt that the most glorious thing about him was the special pattern on his head. It represented his potential and the chance to become an elder.
This was both glory and pressure. Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to do such a sacred thing.
Right now, he was leading the group forward according to the usual route. At the same time, he was constantly observing his descendants to avoid any accidents.
Around him were the elites of his race. They were very serious and vigilant. They didn't relax at all, which made him very satisfied.
Using his black claws, he added some black water to the later generations of his clansmen. As he watched them grow stronger, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He imagined that one day, he would be able to personally nurture the later generations of his clansmen.
"Kill!"
Just as they were halfway back, thinking that they would return smoothly like before, a loud battle cry came from the side.
Ripples suddenly appeared on the side that they had carefully checked. Then, a large number of enemies magically appeared around them and charged toward them with weapons.
They were surrounded by plains, and there was no place to hide. They didn't think that there would really be a wild soul that dared to attack them. However, they had practiced fighting countless times, so they were able to react quickly. They didn't panic at all, and it was as if they were fighting head-on.
"Wandering souls! Pay attention and protect them! "
As the Ghoul Souls arrived, Hai Yang, the leader, immediately shouted. At the same time, he stood guard beside the car and activated his defenses.
As for the battle, there would naturally be people who would go. All he had to do was protect behind him and not let them destroy his descendants. That was the most important thing.
Although he had never encountered this kind of method, he had heard of many of their evil deeds.
However, there were too many of them, and they were charging from both sides. Furthermore, they were constantly pressing down from the sides. They were forced to passively form an oval formation around the car.
Even so, Hai Yang was still able to repel their attacks without suffering any casualties. That was because they were the elites of the elites. They had absolute confidence in themselves.
As expected, in just a single exchange, over twenty of the wandering souls were sent flying. As for the others, even if they weren't weak, they were unable to break through their defenses.
Since they were unable to break through their strongest wave, there was no way they would be able to continue. Now, they wanted to see just how many of them they could kill. Did they think they were the same as the spiritas outside, weak and easy to bully?
Hai Yang even thought of the merit he had received and rewarded them with more cultivation resources.
BOOM!
At this moment, an explosion suddenly erupted in the crowd. Countless black fog instantly shrouded the area, and even Hai Yang was blinded.
Since the wandering souls had come prepared, how could they not know how powerful their opponents were? Taking advantage of the moment when their opponents thought they were at their wit's end, they had unleashed a vicious attack. This was a tactic that had never been used before.
Suddenly, everyone in Haiyang was hit. They were elites after all. Even if they were attacked by surprise, they didn't panic. They could only rely on their memory to slowly retreat and shrink their defense. They defended their position to make sure that the enemy couldn't break through.
"Get closer, quickly! Attack indiscriminately!" Hai Yang immediately gave the order. This was the most accurate thing to do at this time.
But as soon as he said that, he realized his voice couldn't be heard. The black mist had a special power. Even the sound of fighting became inaudible. It was like he was the only one left in the world.
Seeing this, Hai Yang didn't hesitate to turn around. He directly slapped a spot on the car behind him. Following the activation of another formation, a huge beam of light shot out of the car. It pierced through the black mist and into the sky. It was exceptionally eye-catching.
This was the signal for help. They didn't expect to use it so soon.
However, as long as they could hold on for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the elders' reinforcements would definitely arrive. At that time, none of them would be able to leave.
When this beam of light flew out, in the middle of the Ghost City, there was an unusually large courtyard. The Ghost Clan Leader and the Great Elder were talking to the emissary sent by the Palace City. It was said to be an agreement, but in fact, it was just a formality. Everything had been decided by the Heavenly King.
This way, they wouldn't be injured, but they wouldn't feel relaxed either.
The moment the beam of light appeared, they were also the first to notice it.
"The guards are in danger. Lord Emissary, Clan Leader, I'll take my leave first!" The moment the Great Elder sensed it, he stood up anxiously and said apologetically to the two of them.
Without waiting for their reply, the Great Elder's figure directly flew out of here and rushed over to provide support.
In the Ghost City, it wasn't just him. More than a dozen figures rose up one after another and rushed over.
"Lord Emissary, since the Great Elder has already left and there are still things to deal with outside, let's make a long story short. After a period of time, we will definitely gather. When the time comes, we will continue to send them to the gathering point according to the previous route." The Ghost Clan Leader smiled at the emissary.
Regarding this, the emissary didn't have any other opinions. After a few simple greetings, he left this place. He still had to go to the other three cities to convey the Heavenly King's orders.
On the other side, after a period of hurrying, the Great Elder's group finally arrived at the location of the warning. However, what they saw made his face turn gloomy. Even the other elders beside him didn't dare to breathe loudly.
At that moment, there were many people lying around the carriages. The captain of the guards, Hai Yang, was heavily injured and lying on the side. He was missing an arm, and his most important Ghost Hat had been broken in half, revealing his pale face. It was clear that he had fought with his life on the line.
More importantly, the new descendants had all disappeared. With a slight sense, the imprints left on them were also blurry. It was impossible to find the exact location of the other party.
"What's going on!" The Great Elder suppressed his anger and asked the guard who was slightly injured.
"It's Wild Soul and the others. A few hundred people were lying in ambush here. Then, they used a strange method to disturb all of us." The guard lowered his head in fear and explained the matter briefly.
Even so, they had committed such a big crime and would definitely be punished when they returned.
"Wild Soul! How dare they attack us. " The Great Elder looked around, as if he could see the people who had ambushed them. They were unscrupulously celebrating. Then, he said with a murderous aura.
"Pass down the order. Send out our people to search for the whereabouts of this group of people. If there are any obstructions, kill without mercy! I will inform the other clans to assist together. "
"As for you all, go back and receive your punishment!"
One had to know that their usual range wouldn't leave the vicinity of the city they were in. This order meant that outside the four cities, all the places where the other party could be hiding would be swept.
However, even if the order was passed down, the Great Elder knew that the chances of finding them were very small. After all, the other party had come prepared and would definitely know of their thunderous attack. They would most likely hide like before.
To them, this was a very normal thing. They had scattered, and there were hiding places everywhere. It was very difficult to find them.
There weren't many of them, so the Fiend Soul didn't care about them. Even if it was a small fight, there was no way to deal with them. However, this time, the Great Elder realized that the other party had expanded a lot compared to before. Other than the lack of high-end combat strength, if all of them gathered together, their strength wouldn't be inferior to a normal small clan.
And it was a relatively strong clan.
Unfortunately, even he couldn't do anything. Unless a heavenly king acted, there was no way to completely eliminate them. But was that possible? A heavenly king wouldn't act because of such a small problem.
As the people of Ghost City spread out, the other cities, regardless of the size of the clans, began to increase their patrols. Some elites were sent out to encircle the Wild Soul.
They weren't like the Ghost Race, who occupied a city and a Soul Lake. They were all squeezed together and shared the nearby Soul Lake.
However, the spread of the Fiend Soul didn't cause any trouble for Gu Zheng's side.
When they hurried back and crossed the bridge, they discovered the problem.
They had just arrived when a few small groups of Fiend Soul arrived outside the bridge and openly set up camp outside.
"Did the other party discover what you've done? They purposely came to block your escape route. "Hua Xin, who was resting at the side, immediately asked Gu Zheng in a low voice.
"How is that possible? The other party looks like they're just monitoring. If they've really discovered us, why would there be so many people to defend?"
Gu Zheng thought so at first, but quickly rejected it.
If they'd really been discovered, then as he said, there was no need to make such a big fuss. Also, with Elder Gu's cultivation, as long as he took it out, these small fries would be useless. They wouldn't even be able to discover the other party.
As for Elder Gu's subordinates, there were only a few of them. There was no need to make such a big fuss.
Even though he thought so, Gu Zheng was still worried about the situation over there. But now that things had come to this, if the other party had really discovered them, there was no point in him going back.
The only fortunate thing was that Elder Gu had a plan to move the Black Hall he was in to a hidden place. He hoped that everything would be fine.
"That's strange. Those small races have conflicts with each other, but why are they still together? Looking at the other party, they seem to be absent-minded, as if they're just doing their job."
Hua Xin, who was carefully observing from the side, said curiously.
Even though they were at the side of these groups and weren't far away, with Gu Zheng's methods, they couldn't discover them at all.
"Why do you care so much? Even if the other party is guarding there, I can still go over openly. After resting for a while, we'll leave. Later, wear the red bead I gave you and enter the edge of the Soul River with me." Gu Zheng glanced over and didn't notice the conflict that Hua Xin was talking about. He didn't pay attention to it either. Seeing Hua Xin's eyes staring at him, he continued.
"What are you looking at? Don't think that you're not a captive just because you told me about the Demon Soul's situation. You have to know that the poison in your body hasn't been cured yet. You have to listen to my orders. When we reach the destination, I'll naturally let you go."
"Hmph, the poison you put in my body is fake, right? I've been looking at it these days, but I didn't notice it at all. You have to know that us Demon Souls are immune to most poisons." Hua Xin wasn't afraid of Gu Zheng's threat at all. Instead, she questioned.
These days, she had a rough understanding of Gu Zheng's temperament. She knew that as long as she didn't go overboard, everything was negotiable.
"It's up to you to believe it or not."
Gu Zheng couldn't be bothered with her and quietly adjusted his breathing at the side.
