Chapter 84: Betrayal
Seeing the ghost below focus his attention on me, I continued to speak loudly.
"He is just a third-rate ghost king, but he made slanderous remarks in front of the king, saying that there are bandits everywhere in hell. If we don't listen to their call, let the ghost king of Dasheng rob all the bandits. Restore the oil pan torture. The time limit is ten thousand years. It's hateful that I just told the matter, but was stopped by this bastard, saying that I was guilty of harboring bandits and even wanted to throw all the brothers I brought into the oil pan."
"Damn it, what is that Fudi Ghost King? King, we are following you, tell me, what should we do?" Those ghost generals who were born as bandits could not sit still. If they had thought of escaping before, now that they heard the word "looting", they had completely given up the idea of escaping.
The subordinates under Ningxiang's command nearby looked over with sidelong glances, with a hint of disdain evident on their faces.
I sneered, "You are subordinates of Ghost King Tongtian, so don't think that Ghost King Fudi has any good intentions. Ghost King Fudi has said that you did not obey Ghost King Dasheng's command and randomly captured wandering souls and threw them into the oil pot. Now I am here to punish you. You will all be beheaded."
After I finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. The ghost generals looked at Ningxiang with unpleasant expressions.
"Let's just follow your arrangements, sir." Ningxiang did not deny and directly handed over the command to me.
I sneered, "Haha, don't worry. The reason why Ghost King Tongtian and I came back so soon is simply because we couldn't let you go. Do people think that Ghost King Tongtian and I are using you as a shield? Just say it. Ghost King Tongtian and I are capable and we will be fine no matter where we go. Even if we go back now, I believe that Ghost King Dasheng will just give us a new city at most."
"Sir, you misunderstood. We all listen to you."
"Yes, if that blind man dares to disobey the master, I, Old Black, will be the first one to not let him go!"
"King, tell me what you want us to do?"
"Long live the king, the clever ghost is the first to obey the master's orders." The clever ghost suddenly shouted loudly outside the door when everyone was expressing their determination.
I waved my hand to signal the guard to let the clever ghost in. Although I don't like this clever ghost, I can't ignore that this clever ghost is indeed smart. This remark can fool the ghost generals below, but I am not sure about the clever ghost. Besides, if this clever ghost didn't find anything, how could he rush to the hall now?
The clever ghost rushed into the hall, crawled and groveled at my feet, crying and wailing, "King, the luckiest thing in my life is meeting you. No matter where I go, I will follow you."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the clever ghost with a half-smile. In fact, I couldn't figure out what the clever ghost was doing and how much of my affairs he had seen.
Seeing that I didn't want to talk, the clever ghost quickly took out two storage bags from his waist. He held them up with both hands as if offering a treasure: "King, you are wise and powerful and will surely soar between heaven and earth. Although the clever ghost can't help much, he can serve you. These two storage bags are my tribute to you. I put all the things you brought us out in them."
"Haha, you're very good, come to Shi Qian." This is very clear, and I have to express my opinion. I don't know how this clever guy saw that I was leaving. He actually made preparations early. I'm afraid that as soon as I come back, the clever guy will get the news and start rushing here. If I don't appease him, God knows if there will be trouble later.
I made a face at Shi Qian. Shi Qian walked up to him, hugged him and pulled him up, saying with a half-smile, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so loyal!"
"Haha, Second King, Smart Ghost has always been loyal to you two!" Smart Ghost obediently walked aside with Shi Qian and did not forget to flatter him.
After this commotion, the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.
"All ghosts, listen to my orders. Separate and guard the city gates. No wandering souls are allowed to enter or leave. If you encounter ghost soldiers, you must not fight them. Just close the city gates, defend the city walls and shout, 'The Ghost King of the Underworld wants to marry the Ghost King of the Sky. That's wishful thinking. My king will never agree to that.'"
My order was very strange. The ghost generals who were originally planning to have a fierce battle looked at each other in confusion.
"Alas, you all follow me and Ghost King Tongtian, how can I let you go to die? The reason I do this is just to attract the attention of Ghost King Dasheng. This way we will be safe, we only need to hold off until Ghost King Dasheng arrives, and Ghost King Fudi will be dead."
I had to explain it in detail. I added: "It will take at least one day for the Great Sheng Ghost King to get here. What you have to do is to prevent him from cheating and pretending to be the Great Sheng Ghost King. Soldiers! If the city is broken, you will lose your life. Although hell is big, where can we go?"
"Don't worry, sir. I will lead my 30,000 elite soldiers and will not retreat even a single step."
"Sir, I will lead 20,000 ghost soldiers to follow closely."
"King, I will lead my brothers to assist you and will never retreat."
I finally smiled as I watched these ghost generals express their opinions. I waved my hand and let all the ghost generals leave. I turned around and looked at the clever ghost with a smile.
The clever ghost fell to his knees and cried, "My lord, I am loyal to you!"
"Stop talking nonsense. How did you know I was leaving? Who else knew except you?" I asked coldly. To be honest, I really can't be so hard-hearted as to kill the clever ghost. I'm worried about leaving him here.
I am really in a dilemma now. The clever ghost really took good care of me along the way. Moreover, he put all the things I brought in a storage bag and gave it to me. It can be said that the clever ghost is very kind to me.
"My king, I have long seen that you are not from the Oil Pot Hell, nor are you from the underworld. I can see that you are a living person. I have been close to you these days, and I can feel the breath of a living person on you. So I concluded that my king would definitely leave. I am the only one who knows this. The king can rest assured."
I frowned and made up my mind. After all, time was running out, and since I couldn't kill the clever ghost, I could only take him away. But before I left, I had to confirm one thing.
" Smart guy , I can take you away, but how can I trust you and not be betrayed by you?"
The clever ghost knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "My king, although I am not very successful, loyalty is my principle. When I was still alive, I was loyal to you until my death."
"Okay, shut up. Shi Qian, keep an eye on him. Let's go. Time is running out." I couldn't stand the clever ghost's loyal logic, so I interrupted him and gave Shi Qian a look. If the clever ghost made any unusual moves, Shi Qian would naturally take the most direct approach.
The clever ghost also understood his situation and stood cautiously beside Shi Qian, not daring to say a word.
The teleportation array was in the backyard of the Ghost King Palace. It was guarded by Ningxiang's personal soldiers. The resentment of these personal soldiers was very light, unlike the resentment of the wandering souls outside.
"These are the ones I picked out from the people who smuggled here. They were killed and didn't do anything wrong in their lives. You can just take them with you when you leave this time." Ningxiang explained softly when she saw me frowning.
If that's the case, then it's even easier to deal with. Even the people guarding the teleportation array are our own people, it would be strange if we can't get out!
I nodded, took out the tiger-head jade pendant, and activated my spiritual power. The tiger-head jade pendant immediately emitted a blood-red light, which continued to expand to a diameter of two meters. The shadow of Jieying City appeared in the teleportation array.
Ningxiang, you guys go first and meet me in Jieyin City. I urged her by urging the tiger-head jade pendant.
Ningxiang smiled slightly, but did not move her feet, but stood beside me. Even the two little ghosts stood beside me with a smile. However, their smiles seemed to contain an unnecessary emotion.
I didn't have time to care about these two little ghosts at this moment, so I simply urged the ghost soldiers around to go first. When they arrived in the underworld, they only needed to cross the Naihe Bridge to start a new reincarnation. This was also my fulfillment of my promise to Ningxiang.
Time passed by. The ghost soldiers who entered the underworld were old and young, male and female, and of different appearances. It was obvious that they were selected by Ningxiang. There were even acquaintances among them, including the old lady and the little girl on the bus.
The little girl was still hiding behind the old lady, with a timid expression on her face, looking at me curiously with her big eyes. The old lady bowed deeply to me when she passed by me.
"Thank you, sir."
Ten minutes passed like this. Finally, not a single one of the Yin soldiers was left. Shi Qian took the smart ghost and walked out: "Boss, I'll go first."
Ningxiang pulled the little ghost and followed behind.
Just when I was about to go in, Niuniu and Huzi suddenly grabbed Ningxiang with all their strength.
"Sister, please don't go! It's so good here. We have whatever you want to eat, and we also have food to eat here, which you won't find outside." Niu Niu pleaded.
"Yes, sister, please stay with us! Everyone here is afraid of us. Where else can be better than here?" Hu Zi also joined in.
I was immediately furious and my eyes turned cold. No wonder these two little brats have become so powerful here. Damn, it turns out they are relying on their special identities to eat people here. I thought these two little brats were just children.
"Assholes! You guys are still cannibals!" Ningxiang obviously couldn't accept this. She stretched out her hand and slapped Niuniu hard on the face.
Niuniu suddenly raised her head, and her pleading expression suddenly turned ferocious: "What's so good about this man? You beat me for him."
"Sister, stay. We have followed you for hundreds of years. Are you going to abandon us for this man?" Hu Zi suddenly grew more than one meter taller, and was a head taller than Ning Xiang. He looked at Ning Xiang sinisterly and said.
"You! You guys! Let me go!" Ningxiang was furious and pushed Huzi away. Huzi took more than ten steps back before he stopped.
