Chapter 1990

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, nearly twenty days have passed.

Pan Xuan has long stopped patrolling, leaving the task to others, and she is at ease in the temporary base. When she wants to work, she works. When she doesn't want to work, she goes to Madam Xue and chats with her around, or goes to the Soul Alliance to see the situation of the other party.

Everything is in order. The only thing that worries her is that Gu Zheng has not returned yet.

It's not that there is no good news. As the construction becomes more and more proficient, the magic array here is expected to be completed more than ten days earlier than the estimated time.

On this day, Pan Xuan had just returned from the Soul Alliance with Madam Xue, and a clan stopped him outside.

"Miss Pan Xuan, the elders have something important to do, please go over."

"You can go back by yourself." Madam Xue said to Pan Xuan with a smile, and then lowered her head to her child and said, "Say goodbye to your sister!"

"Wow, I"

The child shouted incoherently, waving his little hands at Pan Xuan, almost hitting Madam Xue in the face.

"Okay, I'll go play with you next time." Pan Xuan also smiled as he watched Madam Xue take him away, then turned his head and said.

"I know, let's go now!"

In a temporary tent in the middle, the five elders and Mr. Feng were already discussing fiercely inside. As soon as Pan Xuan entered, he saw that everyone's face looked very bad.

"What's going on? Did something unexpected happen?"

Pan Xuan sat down and asked, thinking that nothing unusual seemed to have happened these days.

"You came at the right time. There really was an accident, and it was very serious." Elder Jin said solemnly.

Pan Xuan listened to the other party's news, and his face gradually became solemn.

"Is it that serious? Is there a way to treat it? Have you found the source?" Pan Xuan asked after listening.

In just a few hours, from the people guarding the Soul River to the busy tribesmen inside, they all became weak to varying degrees, just like being poisoned.

"No cure has been found. It seems that it is only targeting us. The people in the Soul Alliance are fine. According to our analysis, it should be the black fog under the Soul River. The people next to them are the most seriously ill. The weakness has caused them to lose at least 30% of their strength." Feng Gongzi interrupted.

"Doesn't the black fog have no effect? ​​Hurry up and block that side!" Pan Xuan was a little excited. He didn't expect that everything was fine when he went out, but it developed like this in a short time.

"We can't block it. When there is a problem, the traces of water monsters appeared in the Soul River below. We noticed it when we were observing it, and that Soul River is likely to pass near our center. If we really block it, if the other party sneaks in and destroys it, we will be miserable. Some materials don't even have a second copy." Shui Ling said hurriedly.

"Can we only watch us like this? What if the other party attacks us?" Pan Xuan blurted out his worries.

"This is also what we think about, but if the other party comes, we can only fight." Huo Yao clenched his fists and said.

"This is also our carelessness. We thought that the other party would leave wisely after learning of our existence. You know, even if we only have 2,000 people, it is not easy for the other party to bite us." Mu Xuan followed.

"When dealing with the demon soul, each of our tribesmen can fight five with one. After setting up the Wanxuan Blood Formation, even if the other party has 20,000 people, they can't be our opponent, but we also suffered a lot of losses. Now the other party has used a trick behind our backs, causing our strength to decline. Everything is hard to say." Tu Li said with emotion.

"Or we have too few people, otherwise we can activate the small formation first and let a group of tribesmen come first?" Pan Xuan thought for a while and said.

The main purpose of the core formation is to let the ancestors come. The power required is very large, but it does not need to be fully assembled. You can also open a temporary channel, just like Master Feng did before, and continue to tear open the channel to let the tribesmen come.

"This is our dispute." Master Feng explained on the side.

"If we let our clansmen come, it will greatly strengthen our strength, but because of the lack of power, it will not be able to start again for at least a hundred years, and the ancestors will not be able to come, so we are struggling."

"But if we don't start it, now that our strength has dropped so much, I'm afraid the other party has a plan and can attack at any time, and then directly demolish us here."

"We can make two preparations? If the other party dares to come, we kill a group of them and use the previous formation to absorb power and tear open the hole again." Pan Xuan said immediately.

"It's a good idea, but what if Wen Tianhou also comes with him? The other party can interrupt it with a subsequent interference, which is too dangerous." Feng Gongzi asked back. They have discussed these things.

"Is there no good way?" Pan Xuan thought quickly in his heart.

"Of course there is, that is, to remove the curse or toxin in our clan, form the Wanxuan Blood Formation, and with the help of the Soul Alliance, we can easily repel them. After all, we have a lot of people. Even if the strength of the Soul Alliance drops sharply, the number of people is still there, and it is enough to deal with their puppet demon souls." Boss Jin said immediately.

"Elder, the tribesmen patrolling outside have urgent matters to report."

At this moment, a report came from outside.

"What's going on!"

After the tribe leader came in, Elder Jin asked immediately.

"The Demon Soul side has assembled an army and is coming from the Soul River Bridge." The clan leader replied breathlessly. He was rushing back as hard as he could.

"How many people are there?" Pan Xuan asked.

"I don't know exactly how many there are, but the darkness is overwhelming. I estimate that there are at least 50,000 people. However, the other party is not crossing the bridge very fast. If we go by the time, they will be able to reach us in at least fifteen days." This tribesman He also said it immediately, obviously he had calculated it before.

"I know, you go outside to pick up your people. Once you come back, don't come back yet. Go to the Soul Alliance." Elder Jin asked the other party to retreat, and then said to everyone.

"Obviously this is the other party's conspiracy. Although the situation in our bodies has not yet appeared, it is because our cultivation level is relatively high, and we do not rule out poisoning. After all, we are all here, but most of the people below have mild symptoms and are still there. Aggravating."

"At least, it seems that the opponent can only weaken our strength at the third level, which is the only good news." Mu Xuan said coldly from the side.

"What a not-so-funny joke. The other party is serious this time. It is probably the strongest power of the other party. Maybe Wen Tianhou will follow. No matter when the ancestor comes in the end, if the other party escapes into the Xiaoqian world, I'm afraid the ancestor won't be able to go after him," Shui Ling said from the side.

Everyone nodded silently in their hearts. This is the reason why the opponent is so confident. Judging from the scale of the demon souls last time, there is still hope, but this time there are too many. I am afraid that calling for reinforcements may not necessarily be able to withstand the opponent.

"Can the ancestor come over before the other party comes?" Mr. Feng suddenly said.

"No, it will take at least forty days. Even if you are exhausted, it will not be completed in fifteen days." Elder Jin slowly shook his head and said.

Everyone was silent for a while. Everyone had a headache and was thinking about how to get through this difficulty.

As for escaping, they had not even thought about it.

But not to mention the huge number of enemies, Wen Tianhou alone gave them a headache, not to mention their numerous elders and clan leaders. Each of them is not strong, but their number is dozens of times greater than here. , especially the strength of most of the Soul Alliance is slowly declining, even if they are added together, they cannot be the opponent of the opponent.

"Elders, Elder Gu has come back and is now with the Soul Alliance. Do you want to invite him back?" When everyone was having a headache, someone came in from outside to report and asked. This was the person arranged by Pan Xuan.

"Go and invite him quickly."

Pan Xuan said immediately. After seeing the other party leave, he turned to look at the others, with a hint of excitement on his face, which made Mr. Feng next to him couldn't help but say.

"It's useless for the other party to come alone. How can the other party be able to solve them all?"

"You don't know. I believe that the other party has a solution, which is at least better than us being helpless." Pan Xuan had blind trust in Gu Zheng and said confidently.

"I hope so. Anyway, there is nothing else to do right now. I will just wait for him here to see what he has that deserves your trust." Mr. Feng said with some jealousy.

The other party helped Shura a lot, but he didn't know that the ancestor treated him so differently and actually raised him to such a high position that he was almost below one person and above ten thousand people. Even if he sees him now He had to respectfully call the other party Elder Gu when he saw him, but naturally he was not willing to do so. He knew that the other party was down there before and he didn't even bother to look at him.

"We'll see."

Pan Xuan chuckled lightly, thinking that if Gu Zheng came, there would definitely be a way, and even the sadness in his heart dissipated a lot.

As for the remaining five elders, they don't know much about Gu Zheng, but thinking of their ancestor's attention, they also have some unreasonable expectations for Gu Zheng. Maybe they can get some useful ideas from the other party.

Just when the Shura people were looking for Gu Zheng, he was with City Lord Liu and the others, listening to what was happening here.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's send those people back now." After quickly listening to their words, Gu Zheng said directly.

Even if those soul alliance members return to the underworld, they will not be the same as before. After there is order, those who should be reincarnated will be reincarnated, and those who should be sent to hell will suffer.

"They are right here." Ruochen volunteered and led Gu Zheng to a forbidden area not far away.

"If the city lord, we don't know about our city lord's betrayal at all, let us out. We can also go to He Wen Tianhou to fight."

"It's unfair. They are all members of the Soul Alliance and they are trying to save our lives."

Ruochen led Gu Zheng, the former members of the Soul Alliance who had been sealed and imprisoned inside, and shouted towards Ruochen.

"Why does the other party look like he's dying? What did you say before?" Gu Zheng looked a little strange at their reactions.

"They thought they were related to those city lords, or that we wanted to kill a chicken to show the monkeys, so of course they didn't want to die." Ruochen didn't answer those people's begging for mercy at all. Instead, he controlled the restriction so that the voices inside could not be transmitted. He came out and continued speaking to Gu Zheng.

"We also put restrictions on those who rebelled and recovered their memories, and promised them that as long as Wen Tianhou was eliminated, we would let them go completely. We even told them not to be afraid of death, because their souls were all recorded in the Book of Life and Death, and they would have a chance to be reborn, but they would be weak for a long time. So those people had no fear of Wen Tianhou at all. If they had other thoughts, we could kill them at any time."

"Can they believe it?" Gu Zheng said in surprise.

"I believe it very much. Anyone who touches that piece of paper will have some basic information about the underworld engraved in their minds. In addition to the dramatic changes in the past period of time, they firmly believe that only those demon souls were forcibly controlled by City Lord Liu and us. At least when fighting, we can control them to block the first wave of attacks." Ruochen explained.

"It's a pity that no matter who they are, no matter how they practiced in their lifetime, all the lonely ghosts in the past will walk on the Naihe Bridge and drink a bowl of Mengpo soup, and then they can get the opportunity to reincarnate." Gu Zheng said regretfully.

"Is that where everyone's fate is?" Ruochen was just a demon soul, and the information was not engraved in their heads, so they didn't quite understand it. They all heard it from City Lord Niu and the others.

"Yes and no, as long as you have the strength, you can jump out, but in the past, no matter how good your cultivation was, as long as you died, you had to go through it, and no one could resist it. If we hadn't forcibly baptized them, they would have gone in eventually."

Gu Zheng didn't name any specific names. He didn't know what the situation in the underworld was now. He just knew that the underworld was already fully operational. It was estimated that it would have to wait until the establishment of the Heavenly Court before it would be officially up and running. There were still many loopholes before that, but there was no reason, and he was not going to go there again.

If you want to interfere with the operation of the underworld, you have to bear extraordinary cause and effect. At present, there is no reason for him to do it. Birth, aging, illness and death are part of the operation of the Heavenly Dao. No one can escape except the saints, so he impacted the position of the saint with the help of his master and completely transcended the world.

"Let's send them away first. Maybe it's a good thing for them." Gu Zheng looked at the nearly 1,000 people in front of him, and knew that there would be more people behind, so he didn't waste time.

"Yeah!"

Gu Zheng opened his mouth, and the paper that was baptizing the people outside came into his hands. Looking at the people in front of him who kept opening their mouths to try to say something, with some pleading and fear, he just raised his arm, and the paper in his hand suddenly emitted a thousand-foot yellow light, wrapping all the people in front of him. No one could see what was happening in the light.

Soon when the light dissipated, the people inside had disappeared, and the layer of yellow light on the whole paper became softer. After being placed in the previous position by Gu Zheng again, the speed of baptizing the other party was doubled.

"If there is nothing else, I will go to Shura to discuss it first. The other party doesn't know the news I brought yet." After Gu Zheng finished, he prepared to go there.

"Okay, then we will start preparing, but I'm afraid we will just watch the show in this battle. This is also good, it's really worry-free." Ruochen nodded and said.

"Yes, as long as it is less than three months, we can win the final victory, but we can't be careless, just in case the other party comes to destroy it." Gu Zheng followed.

"Could the other party still attack us? You know, after leaving the range, their strength will also decrease. It's impossible." Ruochen didn't worry that the other party would come.

"Elder Gu, our elders have a request." At this time, the Shura people who came to find Gu Zheng came to Gu Zheng and said.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

I just came back and couldn't wait to invite me. Obviously, something happened, so I hurried to find me.

"I'm not sure. Miss Pan Xuan and Mr. Feng are together." This tribe member obviously didn't know what happened over there. He has been guarding Gu Zheng here.

"I'll go there first, and I'll talk later." Gu Zheng said goodbye to Ruochen.

The group of soul alliance members who were imprisoned, under a ball of yellow light, each person felt that their body was no longer under control, and they all floated up and rushed towards the center of the paper.

The last thought was to sink into a vortex. When they regained consciousness, they found that everyone was lining up and walking in a familiar place. A closer look showed that the surrounding scene was the periphery of the underworld.

Under the illumination of the yellow light, they actually came directly to the place. What frightened them even more was that although they could control their eyes, they could not control everything else. The whole person was like an ordinary person, being moved by a mysterious force and walking forward at a slow pace.

Among them, Qi Tian was in the team, and he looked around with some fear.

Not knowing where he was, not knowing where to go, and even losing the concept of time, he walked repeatedly like this. On the road, there were also people who were equally confused joining in. They walked beside them like zombies like them. The only difference was that the other party had completely lost consciousness, unlike them who still had their own thinking, which made him even more frightened. Even if he was mentally prepared, he did not expect that he would dare to become like this.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally found that he had come to a strange place. A huge black plaque was suspended in the air in front of him, with two sinister characters on it.

"Ghost Gate"

At the same time, the sound of water flow appeared in his ears. At this time, the whole team slowed down and could only move forward a little bit. He could do nothing but wait anxiously. He also knew that the other people were in the same state as him. They could only do this, as if they were trapped in an immobile doll.

After an unknown period of time, he finally came to the front and saw that a yellow river was rushing down in front of him, and there was only a green bridge on it. Some people were walking on it swayingly. There was a stone tablet more than three people high on the side, which let him know that the bridge in front of him was the Naihe Bridge. An old woman with a pale face was shouting with a smile on her face.

"Drink this bowl of Mengpo soup, walk across the Naihe Bridge, wash away the worldly breath on your body, and welcome your new world."

After that, a bowl of white soup with turbid mud was handed to him. Even if he didn't want to drink it, he couldn't control his arms. He picked it up and drank it directly. A lot of soup was spilled on his body. Finally, he returned the empty bowl to the other party.

He only felt his consciousness beginning to blur, and he stepped onto the bridge and walked forward unsteadily.
