Chapter 59: Prisoners Become Guests of Honor

The boy's eyes were filled with more anger and murderous intent.

"You don't know whether to live or die." He waved his hand violently. With a buzzing sound, the invisible restriction opened, revealing a gap.

The cold ghostly aura mixed with the violent spiritual power of the young man rushed towards him.

Xiaobai did not retreat but advanced instead, and his small figure was extremely agile.

With a flip of his wrist, a small but shining dagger appeared in his hand.

The sword body hummed, and there was a faint mysterious sword intent flowing.

It was the Qingling Sect's inner sword technique that she had just learned from the heavenly book.

"kill."

The young man growled and rushed towards Xiaobai as fast as lightning.

Greed flashed across his eyes.

'Heaven' once said that this woman was carrying a great secret related to ascension.

Ha, what bullshit about protecting her? He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to kill her now and take away her power. The secret would naturally be his.

Ascension is within reach, the sword flashes suddenly.

The sword skills are immature, but they have the sharpness to cut off cause and effect.

The young man was shocked. This little thing was indeed strange.

But he was even more determined to kill. The black energy in his palm condensed and turned into a sharp claw. He rushed forward fiercely, and the sword and claw collided in just a breath.

At this moment, a larger and colder aura suddenly descended.

The air seemed to be stagnant as if an invisible mountain was pressing down.

The boy froze and his expression changed drastically. Xiaobai also stopped moving and looked to the side with his big eyes blinking.

A middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious black robe, with a blurred face and an unfathomable aura, appeared silently on the scene.

Lord of Yinluo City.

The young man's face turned pale instantly, and he quickly restrained all his momentum and bowed, "City Lord."

"I am here to see the city lord."

The city lord did not pay attention to him immediately, and his eyes hidden in the shadows fell on Xiaobai.

His gaze was as solid as substance, scrutinizing her, as if he wanted to see through her from inside out.

Xiao Bai felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but her face was still innocent. She even tilted her head and looked at the "big ghost" who suddenly appeared with curiosity.

The young man was very nervous, fearing that the city lord would blame him. He rolled his eyes and quickly explained, "City lord, this kid was disobedient and offended my subordinates. I was just trying to discipline him on behalf of the city lord."

The city lord finally turned his head slowly and looked at the young man.

The calm gaze made the boy feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. "No need."

The city lord's voice was hoarse, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "She?" He paused, and his eyes returned to Xiaobai again. "Keep it, maybe it will be of some use." The boy's heart sank, but he didn't dare to raise any objection. "Yes, the city lord is wise."

Thus, Xiaobai inexplicably went from being a prisoner to being the "guest" of the Lord of Yinluo City.

She was arranged to live in a relatively clean courtyard.

However, wherever this "guest" went, he was followed by two expressionless ghost guards.

It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance.

The young man in brocade clothes was obviously unwilling to give in.

Without the city lord present, the murderous intent and greed in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

Within a few days, he tried to attack secretly several times.

Or put colorless and odorless ghost poison into Xiaobai's food.

Or they would take advantage of the cover of night and drive evil spirits into the yard, but Xiaobai would resolve them all without making a sound.

Those little tricks are really not good enough in front of her. After all, our Xiaobai did not only study in the magic circle, but also learned other things. Sometimes Xiaobai feels that those people will be miserable when Junior Sister Yuyan teaches the disciples in the future.

She will really be a good mentor. After all, she can come up with so many ideas. Junior-Junior Sister Yuyan is really smart.

Xiaobai gradually became too lazy to care about it, thinking it was a waste of time. These little tricks were not as good as the house fights in the novels written by humans that she had read. Could it be that the requirements for being a pawn were so low now?

All of this, naturally, could not be hidden from the Lord of Yinluo City. Late at night, deep in the City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord of Yinluo City stood alone in the secret room. He spread out his palm, and an ancient black mirror was floating in his palm.

The mirror surface flickered dimly, and gradually a blurry but majestic face emerged. That face was 70% similar to the Yin Tianzi who was in charge of Huangquan City.

"She has appeared." Yinluo City Lord said in a low voice to the mirror. The face in the mirror seemed to move, and a majestic and ethereal voice came out: "It is just as the 'prophecy' said. Protect her well, otherwise I will kill you first."

"I obey your orders. That chess piece..." Yinluo City Lord mentioned the young man in brocade clothes, "He wanted to kill her."

The man in the mirror snorted coldly: "Stupid chess piece, his mind is blinded by greed. Don't worry about him, he will still be useful, otherwise he will send another smart one to delay our business later."

"yes."

"Keep an eye on him." The voice of the man in the mirror carried an unquestionable command. "The secret he carries is of great importance. He can't die before his value is fully exploited, and we can't let him get away. I think this guy called Tiandao is just playing tricks. After Xiaobai rescues us, we will settle accounts with him first."

"clear."

The mirror light faded and calm returned.

The Lord of Yinluo City stood there, silent for a long time.

He looked again in the direction of the courtyard where Xiaobai was, his eyes becoming even deeper and more unclear.

Exploration, scrutiny, and a hint of fear that he himself was not even aware of.

Xiaobai had no idea that he had become a "commodity" to be sold at a price in the eyes of others.

She is very distressed now. No matter how she asks, she can't get any news about the third senior brother and the other two senior brothers.

She secretly asked the ghost guards who followed her, asking questions indirectly.

"Have you ever seen a big brother who is very handsome, tall, carries a big sword, looks a little cute, and has a very kind heart?"

The ghost guards had no expression on their faces, like puppets.

“Never.”

Xiaobai didn't give up and asked the question in a different way.

"Then have there been any cultivators who have been to Yinluo City? They are very powerful, very upright, and look like good people. They are particularly aloof, and have a talisman pen hanging around their waists."

The ghost guard still shook his head.

Xiaobai pouted her lips. It seemed that even the second and third senior brothers were not there.

"So, brother guard, have you heard recently about a cruel and ruthless person with a weird appearance who beats people up at every turn?"

This time the ghost guard thought about it carefully before speaking: "I seem to have heard recently that there is a ghost-killing maniac in the ghost domain. It is said that he challenged a hundred ghost guards in one day, but I heard that he lost when fighting with Lord Shen Tu over there.

But the Five Dao Generals over there are very satisfied and are said to want to take him as their apprentice. I heard that he has a weird appearance. "

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that too. It seems like there are two heads, one with short hair, and the other with long hair." Another ghost guard also spoke.

"No, no, I heard there were three heads, and one of them was wearing a mask."

Then the two of them started arguing.

Xiaobai frowned tightly. Why did the third brother look like this after he became a demon? Ghostland. Xiaobai looked at the ghostland on the map, which was separated by two cities. He felt overwhelmed. It was fine if he couldn't get out now, but even if he did, how long would it take to get there?

What she didn't know was that when she took the trouble to find out.

In the shadow of the roof not far away, a figure was lurking like a ghost.

Yun Zheng was observing in secret and never left, so he naturally heard the conversation between Xiaobai and the ghost guard.

Listening to the questions Xiaobai asked, Yun Zheng's expression became very strange.

The first two sound like normal brothers, but why does the description of the last one sound so unreliable?

Moreover, the image described by this little brat might be referring to their demon clan, so he directly doubted it.

The corner of Yun Zheng's mouth twitched. Could it be that while he was not in the demon clan, someone was following him secretly, planning to defect to the underworld?

Or was it that the person she was looking for was not the one he had in mind?

Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting. I also became interested in the ghost realm and decided to go and take a look. Before that, I had to rescue this little brat quietly.

Otherwise, how would he know who he was looking for? At this time, Yun Zheng was still thinking about who among the demons was more suitable.

He had no idea that the person Xiaobai was looking for was him. The Yun Zheng in his body was Xiaobai's third senior brother Nangong Wentian.
