Teams of ghost soldiers composed of unjustly dead monks roamed the streets and conducted a carpet search.
They wore uniform armor and looked more like soldiers than monks.
On their armor, there was also the mark of a bloody crown.
That mark represents the most powerful force in the City of the Dead in the past thousand years, the Blood King's Palace!
The Blood King's Palace was first built five thousand years ago.
It was created by the defeated last prince, who led his army of blood servants.
At that time, the Blood Prince was young and frivolous, and was stabbed in the back by the person he trusted the most. Unwilling to accept this, he was recruiting soldiers every day, clamoring to return to the Kyushu continent and execute all those who betrayed the dynasty.
But things went against his wishes. For hundreds of years, the Blood King Army led by him could not even step out of the city gate.
As time went on, the soldiers under his command continued to disappear due to the exhaustion of their lifespans.
The world of immortal cultivation at that time was far from being as powerful as it is today. This gifted Blood Prince was only at the level of a spirit being.
Although his lifespan is considerable, it is not enough for him to last too long.
Finally, the Blood Prince's time came, and the Blood Prince's Palace fell silent.
But it is strange that after a thousand years, the prince somehow reappeared in the City of the Dead.
His strength even increased greatly, breaking through the restriction in the City of the Dead that he could not practice and become stronger.
He can also send people out of the City of the Dead from time to time to carry out certain secret missions and fulfill some of his wishes before his death.
He possesses sufficient strength and the power to leave the City of the Dead.
After the Blood King's Palace reappeared, it became very popular in the City of the Dead.
In the last few hundred years, it has won over too many dead people, and its strength has expanded to an appalling level.
Occasionally, powerful people came out of the City of the Dead, and they left many legends in the Eastern Region's world of immortal cultivation.
Therefore, a long time ago, it was circulated in the world of immortal cultivation that the bloody city of the dead possessed a terrifying power that could rival the three major pillars, or even surpass them.
Even Jiang Li had heard of this statement before.
The leader of the Wantu Sect was even more devoted to it, and he dreamed of controlling the power of the City of the Dead.
Jiang Li was not very clear about what kind of power the three divine pillars possessed, but the City of the Dead indeed possessed power that was enough to overturn the immortal cultivation world in the Eastern Region.
Of course, the number of people who can leave the City of the Dead is limited, and the time for each departure is very short, so not everyone can leave if they want to.
In the Blood King's Palace, basically only earthly immortals have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits. The souls at the god-transformation level may not even get a turn even after waiting for hundreds of years.
The Nascent Souls below them, and even more low-level cultivators, are even less worthy of knowing such things.
It is precisely because of this that the academic atmosphere of the City of the Dead has not been destroyed.
Otherwise, if they knew their special skills, they might be learned by outsiders, and the platform for preaching and discussing the Dao in the City of the Dead would be empty by 90% in an instant.
Jiang Li stood on the attic of Master Jiu Zai's house, looking at a group of ghost soldiers running quickly below.
If nothing unexpected happens, the person they are searching the whole city for is Grandma Mingshan.
The two leading the team are just two gods, such a configuration is really luxurious.
In fact, when the moon set yesterday, they blocked the Mingshan Grandma who wanted to leave here through the city gate.
However, they still suspected that Grandma Mingshan had stolen the body of the King of the Polar Mountains, and they would never let her go even if they risked their lives.
After a collision, the grandma, who was in poor condition, escaped again.
The area of this City of the Dead alone is one-fifth the size of a large mountain. It would be extremely difficult to find a top-notch expert hiding in it.
Jiang Li looked up at the sky again.
The number of powerful earthly immortals flying in the air for patrol has increased from three yesterday to five.
With the help of his clone stationed in the outside world, Jiang Li already knew that the Temple of the Gods was fighting with the Blood King's Palace.
Because the aftermath of that battle has affected the entire Eastern Region, it cannot be concealed.
A quick contact will reveal that these two guys must have returned from the front line.
The stronger one is, the stronger his life will be. Especially after reaching the level of Earthly Immortal, his physical body will begin to transform into an "Immortal Body".
Even if there is a gap in strength, the battle will not be easily decided, and casualties are less likely to occur.
Moreover, the Temple of the Gods also knew that if someone in the City of the Dead died, they would be pulled back. They would definitely try their best to seal them instead of killing them directly.
But even so, two more earthly immortals died just one day later, which shows how fierce the battle on the front line was.
Bang, bang, bang! At this moment, there was a fierce knocking sound below the attic.
That team of ghost soldiers from the Blood King's Palace are definitely bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.
He didn't dare to knock on Pei Zhongjian's door, but went straight over the next door and knocked here.
Isn't this a blatant disrespect to the Master of Jiuzai Valley?
As a disciple of Sutra Valley, Jiang Li must teach them a lesson.
Jiang Li and Master Jiuzai looked at each other and waved their hands to open the door below.
"Search the City of the Dead under the order of the Blood King! Please cooperate."
The pair of ghost soldiers entered one after another, and then the wooden door closed, and there was no sound from inside.
Time passed slowly. In the small building, which was not very big, the team consisting of two gods and eighteen Nascent Souls stayed inside for a quarter of an hour.
Considering the monks' efficiency, this search seemed exceptionally long.
One of the earth immortals who was hovering in the sky and patrolling also looked over keenly.
The target they were searching for was a terrifying and powerful enemy, but even the combined strength of several of the Earthly Immortals was not enough to ensure they could deal with him.
Even if the teams below are led by gods, the effect they can have is just testing the waters.
Once any team has problems, they will take thunderous action!
Fortunately, the immortal had not yet arrived, and the wooden door of the attic was pushed open from the inside again.
Twenty ghost soldiers walked out intact.
Some of them seemed a little out of spirits. They just yawned and continued to search along the planned track. There was nothing unusual.
"Are you being lazy again?"
Seeing this scene, the earth immortal shook his head, turned around and flew to other places.
The daily atmosphere in this city of the dead is too comfortable.
Not to mention finding something meaningful here, even spiritual practice has lost its effect, causing most of the monks who come here to have nothing to do for years, and their personalities become more and more lazy and corrupt.
But after only one day, many teams had already shown signs of passive resistance.
Even so, they are still difficult to manage and the team is difficult to lead!
He caught a glimpse of the Earth Immortal from the Blood King's Palace flying away, and one of the Divine Transformation cultivators who was running in front of the team breathed a sigh of relief.
This falsely resurrected body did not look abnormal on the outside, but its interior was already under the control of Jiang Li.
In the past quarter of an hour, as soon as these guys came in, he used dream talking to temporarily control them.
Seamlessly connected with reality, it wove for them a brief dream of searching the attic.
Then he changed himself into a seed and jumped into the mouth of the leading cultivator.
After falling into the stomach, it penetrated into the location of the spiritual root of the qi sea and transformed into roots and took root there.
This is a brand new Taoism that Jiang Li comprehended after crossing the Beiyin Mountain from birth to death and making a major breakthrough in the Jiuyou Taoist Scripture, the Jiuyou Seed!
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Originally, it was the spiritual root Nine Nether Wood, the last means to preserve oneself in times of crisis.
The principle is based on imitating the seeds of spiritual roots. The practitioner can transform into a seed and infiltrate the human body, and then take root in the opponent's spiritual root qi sea.
It can have the magical effect of occupying someone else's nest, controlling their thoughts, seizing their cultivation, and plundering their lives.
Jiang Li had been longing for the advanced camouflage and infiltration technique for a long time, and now he finally got it.
As a time traveler with cheats, Jiang didn't follow the popular route of looting by casual cultivators, but he always yearned for those obscene skills such as skin-changing and transformation.
He had also collected and studied several similar spells.
It’s just that the levels of those spells are too low, and they can only be used temporarily in specific situations.
But the enemies Jiang Li has to deal with now are generally two major realms stronger than him.
It is simply a fantasy to want to deceive an earthly immortal with the means of an ordinary Nascent Soul.
Therefore, any spell without any basis is of no use to him.
Now, I have realized this wonderful method in the Jiuyou Daojing. It is extremely concealed and its effect is better than that of spiritual root seeds in all aspects.
Especially the powerful concealment and camouflage effect. Even good friends and lovers who have been together for a hundred years may not be able to see the slightest problem.
In this method, the only problem is that you have to subdue the opponent's soul.
With Jiang Li's level of spiritual cultivation, even if he has not yet transformed into a primordial spirit, the strength of his soul is enough to defeat a bunch of primordial spirits.
He took action personally, and within just a quarter of an hour he had already controlled this deity.
Well, Grandma Mingshan, I’m here to find you! “Follow me, this way.”
After coming out of the attic, he made a gesture and led the team to make a sudden turn.
"Senior, that's not our search route, right?"
"That's Doll Street. Didn't we just search it the day before? We changed the route temporarily, and the superiors started to question us..."
Another incarnation beside him raised an objection, saying that it was obviously against the rules to do so.
"We have legs, but the enemy doesn't have legs? How can we get anything if we search according to the rules?"
"The day before yesterday, a restriction I left on Doll Street was triggered by someone! It is very likely that it was the target who did it!"
"As long as we find the person and make a contribution, we can get out!"
"You've been dead for two hundred years. Don't you want to go back and see how those close female friends and your descendants are doing?"
After he said this, the other incarnation also became energized. He quickened his pace and passed through the streets and alleys like lightning.
The Divine Transformation cultivator who was enslaved by Jiang Li's species did not disappear, and his soul whose will was changed was also online, so this ordinary conversation would not reveal any flaws at all.
A team of Blood King's ghost soldiers changed direction temporarily, which naturally attracted some attention.
Of course it was impossible for Jiang Li to foolishly run over to confront that grandma.
Sensing the location of the half-dead vine, he took out a communication spirit stone while running and notified one of the earth immortals above, saying that he had discovered clues of the enemy.
Controlling a body at the God Transformation level, his speed, although not as fast as his own, is still not slow.
Soon we were back to the doll street dominated by the crying sounds.
"It's in the area ahead, you guys go over and take a look!"
After still being more than ten miles away, Jiang Li did not get closer, but directed his eighteen subordinates to go and check.
The eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators were somewhat reluctant, but under Jiang Li's tough attitude, they still flew towards the designated target.
"Wawa Street, 9th Road, Lane 13, the fifth house with a small hole in the doorway! Don't let the target get away!"
Combining the half vine with the help of his good listening ears, he had already locked onto the location of the Grandma of Mingshan.
When that grandma tricked the Eight Demons from the Dark Mountain into coming to the City of the Dead, she said that they would storm the city and give it to Jiang Li.
Now that Jiang Li had successfully brought his grandmother to the place, it was time for him to collect his reward.
It's not right for the overlord of Beiyin Mountain to keep hiding like this.
The eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators followed the instructions and surrounded the house.
One of them was brave enough to push open the door when a black object was thrown at his face.
There were dozens of ghost-eating worms! The worms bit through the skin in an instant and drilled into the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator. In just two breaths, they chewed him into a streak of white light and were recovered by the Wrongful Death City.
In that small room, an even more terrifying aura erupted! This alone made the other ghost soldiers stiffen and unable to move.
However, this also completely exposed the whereabouts of Grandma Mingshan.
The five earthly immortals in the air flashed over in an instant and surrounded the Mingshan Grandma who appeared again.
But this time, the cross-dressing guy showed a completely different aura.
Although she was still not in peak condition, without the torment of the ghost-eating worms in her body, her strength was incomparable to that of ordinary earthly immortals! A long whip with roots that looked like rock emerged from the sleeves of the Dark Mountain Grandma and whipped the five earthly immortals who were flying over.
A shocking battle broke out again in the City of the Dead.
With their methods, once they start fighting with all their strength, the city will inevitably be destroyed. By then, the thing under the City of the Dead will probably come out and indiscriminately attack these restless and unjustly killed people.
Jiang Li, who had led all this, withdrew after his success and flew to the center of the Wrongful Death City, where the Blood King Palace was located! Now most of the Blood King Palace's forces were fighting with the strong men of the Temple of the Gods.
The five earthly immortals who stayed behind were again held back by the Grandmother of Mingshan. The last building built by the Immortal Cultivation Dynasty fell into an unprecedented emptiness.
He wants to see what is hidden in there! Ahem, it's not that I won't update, it's just that I've been so busy lately.
