Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 99: Seeking Help
Under the ground of Zhenjiang City, next to a strange and unpredictable twisted area.
There was a huge gathering of monks, and the auras of these monks were very different, but all of them were mixed with a gloomy air.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would be horrified.
Because the more than a hundred people gathered here are all Jindan stage cultivators.
What a terrifying concept!
You should know that the Lu family can rank in the middle among the thirty-six major cultivation families in Zhenjiang with just three Jindan cultivators.
These Jindan stage monks all looked respectfully at the burly monk in the lead.
This burly cultivator is none other than the "Shura" who commands all members of the underworld in the Zhenjiang Prefecture area. He has under his command a hundred Jindan-stage hall masters of the underworld branches and thousands of underworld magic cultivators. He has always been a major concern for the Zhenjiang Tower.
Luosha came to Shura respectfully and said, "Master Shura, all the 108 hall masters of the Zhenjiang Underworld, the four Yaksha masters, and the two Impermanence masters are here, not one is absent."
"Okay!" The burly Shura said, his voice booming: "I summoned you here today so that you can make all preparations immediately, enter a state of combat readiness, and wait for news. We will launch the Corpse Puppet Rebellion in the near future and set up the Shura Blood Transformation Formation to welcome the birth of the Demon Child."
Suddenly, the eyes of the group of monks around him became heated.
"We have been keeping a low profile for these years. I'm afraid Zhishoulou thinks that we in the underworld will only give in. It's time to show them our methods!"
They have been planning for a long time to welcome the demon.
Over the years, for the sake of the greater good, they have given in everywhere and tried their best to avoid conflicts with Zhishoulou, which made the violent demon cultivators in the underworld very depressed.
Now Shura is preparing to launch a corpse puppet rebellion and massacre Zhenjiang, which makes them feel that the clouds are finally clearing and the fog is dim.
"But, Lord Shura, isn't there still three months until the scheduled time of action?"
Amid the fiery gazes, a gray-robed monk stood up and said hesitantly, "Why do we have to start early..."
"Hmm?" Shura's eyes were as fast as lightning as he glanced at the gray-robed monk.
"I obey your command." Under Shura's eagle-like sharp eyes, the gray-robed monk felt a chill in his heart. He dared not question it anymore and responded respectfully.
"action!"
Shura gave an order.
The masters of various halls flashed into the distorted area one after another, and mysterious array patterns immediately appeared above the distorted area.
With spiritual light shining everywhere, the monks who entered the distorted area turned into shadows and gradually disappeared.
At the same time, among all the 107 county cities under the jurisdiction of Zhenjiang Prefecture, except Yuanshan City, there are some secret places unknown to outsiders.
The figure of the underworld cultivator who disappeared underground in Zhenjiang City gradually emerged.
That distorted area was actually an advanced teleportation array that had been set up long ago, connecting Zhenjiang City and its 108 county cities.
After returning to the county cities where their respective branch halls were located, these Lords of the Underworld did not dare to delay and quickly sent out spiritual messages to gather and deploy their own personnel.
Undercurrents are surging, and huge waves are brewing silently.
Luosha watched the masters of various halls disappear into the teleportation array, but the scene of his previous conversation with Lord Shura emerged in his mind.
…
Click! Click!
The scattered chess pieces were rolling on the ground.
Luosha was terrified: "My Lord, are you ready?"
Shura's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his tone was grim: "Zhi Shoulou is preparing to swallow our chess pieces step by step.
So far, it seems that Zhishoulou has done a good job, and all the chess pieces arranged in Yuanshan City have been abandoned.
This time, they seemed to have vaguely touched upon the secret of corpse puppets.
But it was too late, twenty years too late. We had already made all the necessary arrangements.
And it will take time for him to devour our chess pieces.
Then I will just flip the chessboard and not give him time. What use will Zhi Shoulou have even if he has all the skills?"
"But, isn't the arrangement on Lord Wuchang's side not fully ready yet?" Luosha said cautiously.
"can not wait anymore!"
Shura said firmly, "There is no sure win in the world. As long as the chance of winning is more than 50%, it is enough to try. Moreover, even we are not fully prepared yet, so how can we know what the guards will be prepared for? I have been planning for many years. Even if I start the Corpse Rebellion early, the chance of winning is more than 50%. Send out a spiritual letter to summon all the hall masters!"
Since Shura had already made the decision, Luosha dared not question it and said respectfully: "I understand!"
…
Zhenjiang Tower.
The interrogation work of the prison warden monk went relatively smoothly.
The cultivators captured by the Zhi guards are different from the demon cultivators in the underworld.
The magic cultivators in the underworld have all had the devil poison planted in their souls. Restricted by the devil poison, it is extremely difficult to get any useful information from them.
But for these cultivators, as long as they use some means, except for extreme cases like Xuanming Zhenren, it is usually not difficult to obtain the information they need.
Chu He, the master of Zhenjiang Tower, looked at the information presented by the Prison Warden, frowned slightly, and asked the deacon monk who was in charge of the Black Ice Platform below.
"You mean that the underworld cultivators that these evil cultivators told to contact them all used fake identities, so it is currently impossible to find out the origins of these people?"
The steward of the Black Ice Platform explained, "The Underworld is very meticulous in its actions. When they come into contact with the evil cultivators, they disguise themselves first. Therefore, the portraits of the Underworld cultivators drawn based on the evil cultivators' narrations do not match any of the cultivators in Zhenjiang City. However, even if these Underworld cultivators are disguised, there are always traces to follow. We just need some time to investigate."
Chu He tapped the table with his fingers: "How long will it take?"
The deacon monk stretched out his right palm and said loudly: "Five days! Within five days , there will be some results."
The wrinkles on Chu He's old face were clearly visible. After thinking for a while, he finally said firmly: "Okay, then I'll give you five days!"
"I will take my leave now!" The deacon monk bowed respectfully and left the room.
"What do you think?" Chu He turned and asked the two deputy building owners standing beside him.
Gao Tian, the more experienced deputy building owner, spoke first: "The cultivators from the Underworld must be lurking in Zhenjiang City in various identities. Given the cautiousness of the Underworld, once they receive the news that we have taken action against these evil cultivators, they will most likely quietly evacuate Zhenjiang Prefecture. So I have already sent a message to City Lord Lin in advance, asking him to send cultivators to strictly investigate the cultivators who left the city."
Chu He nodded and praised: "It should be so."
Tan Tai Qing Run frowned, "Based on the current situation, the Underworld has spent a huge amount of resources over the years to refine countless corpse puppets. Combined with what Qi Jian Shou said, he saw blood all over Zhenjiang Prefecture from the county town to the prefecture town in the Tianji Mirror. These corpse puppets are most likely used for this purpose. The Underworld wants to use the corpse puppets to make up for its own lack of manpower to attack our Zhenjiang Prefecture. Such a big move by the Underworld must have been planned for a long time, and it must be very sure. Although we have gained something at present, I still have a bad feeling. Just in case, I suggest sending a spiritual letter to the Qingzhou main building again, asking them to dispatch a large number of elite monks to Zhenjiang Prefecture to assist us."
Tan Tai Qingrun's words made Chu He and Gao Tian fall into deep thought.
After a moment, Chu He rubbed his brows and said decisively: "Indeed, Qi Jianshou's words should not be underestimated. Just follow what Deputy Building Master Tan Tai said and ask Qingzhou Main Building for help again!"
