Chapter 123: Ghost Emperor Prince
Chen Jiu was really a little anxious. He had thought of everything, but he didn't expect that the Japanese pirates would use a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
If the Japanese pirates really use this trick on him, he may not be able to defend Jiuling Mountain.
Not only will all of his magical herbs and elixirs be snatched away, but the Qinglian Sect, the bat soldiers, and the golden-bodied gods under Yu Qi will also suffer heavy losses.
These guys wouldn't really try this, would they?
He didn't know how many bat soldiers he had changed along the way. He flew back madly day and night. After flying for nearly two days, he finally got back and Jiuling Mountain was already in sight.
Fortunately, everything seemed normal down there, there were no signs of fighting, and the people from the Qinglian Sect were still on duty.
He extended his spiritual sense to take a look, and sure enough, everything was normal in the Qinglian Sect's camp, and the magical herbs and medicines in the Earth Fire Cave were still there.
I'm glad you're okay. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This trip really exhausted him. He had been flying in the sky for several days in a row and his mind was always tense. Even if his spirit was strong, he could not bear it anymore.
He ordered the bat soldiers to take him to Linlang Peak. Just as he was about to summon everyone in the Immortal Mansion and go to rest, a bat soldier flew over from the other side and bowed, saying, " Report, Your Majesty, the Northern Underworld Army has already reached the outskirts of Fengdu City."
ah?
Without thinking, Chen Jiu immediately sent a telepathic message: "Lao Ding, hurry up, take me to Fengdu City."
The Great Divine Cauldron quickly appeared and took him to Fengdu City in a few whooshes and came to the east city wall.
Chen Jiu jumped onto Yu Qi's shoulder and said solemnly, "Old Qi, how are you? Are you okay?"
Yu Qi said calmly: "Fortunately, they didn't expect there were so many magic arrays in Fengdu City. They retreated more than ten miles away after a fight a few days ago."
No wonder there isn't a single ghost to be seen outside the city.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu immediately extended his spiritual sense to scan over ten miles away.
My God, so many golden gods!
He immediately saw a strange sight that could not possibly appear in the mortal world.
I saw tens of thousands of golden gods, about two or three feet tall, lined up in square formations like statues, standing there motionless , so densely packed that it seemed as if there was no end.
In the middle of the square formation there is a huge palace that is more than 20 zhang high. The palace is surrounded by golden gods that are five or six zhang tall. These golden gods are also arranged in squares like statues, standing there motionless.
Inside the palace, two rows of golden gods over ten feet tall stood there like statues, and sitting on the high main seat was a thin young man with a pale face!
This young man was the size of an ordinary man, and he looked so small sitting among a bunch of huge golden gods. However, he sat in the main seat with a proud look on his face.
Is this the commander of the Northern Underworld Army? Is this guy a human or a ghost?
As soon as his spiritual sense entered the hall, those golden gods that looked like statues suddenly came alive and turned to look at him. The tallest golden god even shouted, "Your Highness, be careful."
The pale young man who had been thinking with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him coldly.
Your Highness?
This guy is the Ghost Emperor!
No, although this guy's spiritual sense is strong, he does not have divine power. Moreover, this guy's spiritual sense can only barely scan the city wall more than ten miles away, which is more than half weaker than his spiritual sense.
Chen Jiu knew that this guy had seen him, so he simply asked, "Who are you?"
The pale young man said coldly: "Chen Jiu?"
This guy has a sarcastic look, with a high forehead, thin lips, almond-shaped eyes, and drooping eyebrows. He speaks in a haughty manner, as if he doesn't even see anyone else in his eyes.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel annoyed. He simply said coldly: "I asked you who you are, didn't you hear me?"
The young man really acted as if he hadn't heard it. He continued with a cold face and arrogantly asked, "Where's Zhang Qian?"
You fucking bastard.
Chen Jiu snorted inwardly, then pretended to be angry and said: "I asked first, you tell me first, who are you?"
The young man said proudly: "I am afraid that you know it. Listen carefully, I am Cai Changwei, the prince of the Eastern Ghost Emperor. Tell me, is Zhang Qian here with you?"
It turned out to be this guy.
You idiot!
Chen Jiu said simply: "I don't know."
You are kidding me!
Cai Changwei could not help but roar: "Just wait for me."
Just wait, I'm not afraid of you.
Chen Jiu simply sent a telepathic message: "It seems that they have more than 20,000 troops, right?"
Yu Qi said without hesitation: "A full thirty thousand."
This is a bit troublesome.
He just took a rough look and found that there were as many as seven or eight Yin Marshals on the Immortal List in the hall, and more than ten ghost immortals.
On their side, the only ones who are confident of defeating the masters on the Immortal List are him, the brothers Luo Yong and Luo Meng, and Patriarch Hongyun. Others like Yu Qi, Luo Li, etc. may not be able to defeat the more than ten ghost immortals.
Originally, the bean soldiers and monkey monsters under his command could barely defeat three or four Yin generals who were ranked on the Immortal List. However, the soldiers of the Northern Yin Division were not just for show. If he sent the bean soldiers and monkey monsters up, they would definitely rush over.
Two thousand against thirty thousand. The other side has a large number of ghost king-level generals. No matter how powerful the bean soldiers and monkey monsters are, they cannot defeat them!
As for the golden gods and bat soldiers under Yu Qi, they still have to defend the city. It is impossible for them to rush out and fight with others. Once the city is lost, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the army of Beiyinsi.
There was no other way. He couldn't deal with the Ghost Emperor's Prince yet. He could only wait for the Underworld Cult's army to come and attack them from both sides.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "What are they waiting for?"
Yu Qi said without hesitation: "Yes, they don't seem to have many arrows engraved with the Breaking Array Talisman. They can't break the formation in the city at all. They must have used up the arrows engraved with the Breaking Array Talisman when they attacked two days ago. They must have prepared this kind of arrows."
Breaking array talisman?
I haven't studied this.
Chen Jiu thought about it again, then asked, "How many days will it take for them to prepare enough arrows?"
Yu Qi estimated: "The array-breaking talisman must be engraved on specially made arrows . I think it will take them at least ten days to half a month to prepare enough arrows."
Fortunately, fortunately, there is still time to prepare.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "Do you need to build anything else here?"
Yu Qi shook his head slightly and said, "No need, the city walls are covered with them."
That's fine.
Chen Jiu said to Honghuang Shending again: "Old Ding, you don't need to let Yu Qi carve the formation and runes these days. You should focus on helping me forge the immortal weapon Guandao."
That’s easy.
Honghuang Shending said without hesitation: "Okay."
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully again, then waved his hand and said, "Seventh Brother, I'm going to go back first. You keep an eye on this side. If the Northern Yinsi army moves, send the bat soldiers to call me."
After saying that, he asked the Honghuang Divine Cauldron to take him back to Jiuling Mountain.
All this busy work really exhausted him.
The problem is, he can't rest yet.
He went straight back to the main hall at the foot of Linlang Peak, pulled everyone in the Immortal Mansion and the original tables and chairs out, and then asked: "Ali, how many guardians and elders in the sect have broken through to the Earthly Immortal realm?"
Luo Li was a bit puzzled and said, "There should be three or four of them, what's wrong, Jiu?"
Chen Jiu sighed slightly and said, "The army of the Northern Yin Division is coming. The Eastern Ghost Emperor's prince brought seven or eight Yin Marshals who are ranked on the Immortal Ranking and more than ten Ghost Immortals. I'm afraid Yu Qi can't handle it. How about you transfer two Earth Immortals to help."
Seven or eight Yin Shuai who are ranked on the Immortal List!
Zhang Wanxia was shocked when she heard this: "Is the Ghost Emperor's prince crazy? The Eastern Ghost Emperor probably only has so many Yin Shuai sitting down, right?"
This guy is a lunatic. It can be said that Yin Shuai Lu Boyan was killed by him.
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "This guy is crazy about Zhang Qian. Last time, he ordered Yin Shuai Lu Boyan to lead his army to the Yang world to capture Zhang Qian, but he fell into the trap of the underworld. Yin Shuai Lu Boyan's immortal palace exploded and he died. That's how the Yin and Yang world came into being."
Hearing this, Xu Yanran couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhang Qian? Who is Zhang Qian? This guy is so obsessed with Zhang Qian, why did he come to the Yin and Yang Realm? Is Zhang Qian in the Yin and Yang Realm?"
Uh, how do I say this?
Chen Jiu simply looked at Jiaona.
Jiaona understood and sighed slightly, "Qianqian is actually a miserable person. Her parents died thousands of years ago, and she was left alone to practice in the underworld with her uncle for nearly a thousand years. The Northern Underworld is still chasing them, and they have to hide everywhere."
So miserable?
Xu Yanran was stunned when she heard this.
At this time, Patriarch Hongyun couldn't help asking, "Is there something fishy going on between the Eastern Ghost Emperor of the Northern Underworld and Japan? Why did the Northern Underworld army attack you right after you were led away?"
Is this the purpose of luring the tiger away from the mountain?
If Yu Qi had not built the city so frantically and set up countless magic arrays in the city, Fengdu City might have really been captured by the Northern Yinsi army in one fell swoop. If Fengdu City was captured, Jiuling Mountain would definitely not have been able to be saved.
Are these guys really in collusion?
Chen Jiu frowned and pondered for a while, then sneered: "I don't know what tricks they have, I only know that the Eastern Ghost Emperor is digging his own grave by doing this."
What's the meaning?
Patriarch Hongyun couldn't help but wonder, "The Eastern Ghost Emperor is a true god, can you still kill him?"
Chen Jiu said calmly: "The true gods who haven't survived the thunder tribulation are just like that. The one who tried to capture Zhang Qian and me in the underworld last time must have been him. Now, I'm really not afraid of him. As for whether I can kill him, we'll have to try to find out."
Zhang Wanxia couldn't help asking again: "Then why do you say he dug his own grave?"
This is a bit hard to explain.
Chen Jiu could only roughly explain: "The Eastern Ghost Emperor doesn't have many troops under his command. If his tens of thousands of troops are trapped in the Yin-Yang Realm, he will become a tiger without claws and fangs, and will be finished sooner or later."
