Chapter 400: Remains of the Zhou General (12)
Wangxu closed his eyes and focused on recovering his strength, trying to return to the battlefield as quickly as possible. Otherwise, with Tao Zi in such a monkey-like state, who knows how long he could last.
What he did was correct, because soon after that the ghosts that were scared away came back again.
When there were no other ghosts around, leaving aside the situation of "Tao Zi", they were still slightly inferior, let alone when these ghosts gathered together again?
Wang Xu protected the two guys who were holding him back, and he had no energy left to help them, even though the three of them had already tied up the three strongest people - his strength could not recover that quickly.
The situation became increasingly critical. Yue Qingya vomited blood, and "Tao Zi" also showed signs of being unable to move.
Li Xiu said anxiously, "When the midnight hour just arrived, those ghosts were not so powerful! At that time, we survived the internal strife and the enemy at the same time. Why is it so difficult now?"
The Flower Monk sighed and reminded, "These ghosts are becoming increasingly powerful until the ugly hour arrives, when they will slowly weaken."
He asked hurriedly, "How long until the hour of Ugly?"
Wangxu replied in a low voice: "A quarter of an hour."
"Tao Zi", Yue Qingya and Cheng Wuchou were forced to Wangxu's side. The six of them gathered together. Compared to the initial fear, these ghosts now did not care about these people standing together.
Finally, the hour of the rat arrived and the six of them could no longer hold on.
Li Xiu looked at the still powerful ghost and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it still like this?"
Cheng Wuchou remained calm, staring intently at his sister's body, and said, "Since Zi Shishi's strength is gradually increasing, then Chou Shishi's strength will naturally also gradually decrease."
"Cheng Zhenjun, you're too calm." Li Xiu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "Where is that army? Can we charge over there?"
Cheng Wuchou said calmly: "They are already here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a well-trained army appeared in front of everyone.
They emerged from everywhere like ghosts, dealing with those ghosts silently, and their every move seemed as if they were cast in the same mold.
These ghosts had a genuine fear of the army, and many of them ran away when they saw them appear. The remaining ghosts could barely fight the army, but they could do nothing to Yue Qingya and the others.
The strongest ghost in the lead said sinisterly, "Deputy General, we have all become ghosts, and these people are cultivators. Why bother saving their lives?"
The deputy general remained indifferent, looking down at the spear in his hand. He said, "I will only protect them for one hour. After one hour, you can do whatever you want."
The ghost was almost laughing out of anger. After an hour, their strength had been greatly reduced, while these cultivators had recovered a lot and could attack at will... Is this talking about ghosts or humans?
A ghost roared angrily: "You have protected them for more than twenty nights. Isn't that enough?!"
The deputy general looked at them coldly, his eyes particularly strange: "I also gave you more than twenty nights, but you still couldn't devour them."
The ghosts choked, but eventually dispersed reluctantly.
"Tao Zi" stood beside Cheng Wuchou, looking at the deputy general with interest, and said: "You look very fragrant."
The deputy general said generously: "If you can complete the task assigned by the general, then I can let you eat me."
She smiled slightly and said, "It's a deal."
"It's a deal." The deputy general was very friendly to his fellow ghost, even initiating a conversation. "Why do you like to eat your own kind? Aren't monks tastier?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "You like to eat monks because you have been eating the same kind for the past three thousand years. I am different. In the past fifty years, I have mostly eaten monks."
The deputy general smiled and asked, "Which do you think is better, monks or fellow monks?"
She replied very honestly: "Whichever one is stronger, smells better."
He looked at her with a smile, his eyes as if he was looking at a lovely junior.
Someone beside the deputy general hesitated for a long time before saying, "Is the Xuanyue Royal Family really gone?"
Tao Zi thought for a moment and said, "The Xuan Yue royal family only exists in the ballads of my childhood."
The deputy general's smile faded and he fell silent.
Li Xiu added quietly, "This continent is now called Xuanyue Continent."
The deputy general looked at him again, his eyes softening a little.
At this time, Cheng Wuchou suddenly said: "There will always be people who remember the Xuanyue Royal Family, and those soldiers who died in the war."
After that, there was silence for a long time. After an hour, the deputy general said, "The hour has passed. Please be cautious and do not go to the general's mansion at night."
Afterwards, he led his army away.
Tao Zi waved and shouted, "Don't forget what you promised me!"
The deputy general raised his hand from a distance.
As soon as the army left, many ghosts who were not afraid of being reduced to ashes set their sights on them again.
As Yue Qingya dealt with the ghosts that attacked him, he sighed, "Tonight was the easiest night I've had in over twenty."
Li Xiu turned around in shock: "The easiest?"
He nodded. "Usually, when the army came, we were already severely injured. It would take us an hour to recover. Then we had to hide from the most powerful demons. This time, with Master Cheng holding back the most powerful one, it's much easier."
Wangxu stood aside with an expressionless face. He didn't think so.
Everyone also saw Wang Xu's expression. Li Xiu coughed and said, "Master Wang, we have been reluctant to reveal the origin of Tao Mei's inner demon."
He said indifferently: "Is that so?"
Li Xiu felt even more guilty. After all, Wang Xu was injured initially because he was concerned about Tao Zi. If he had just used more force, he might not have been injured so badly. But in the end, they watched him gradually become seriously injured and even nearly died in order to conceal the origin of his so-called inner demon. How could they not feel guilty?
From Wangxu's point of view, he was seriously injured in order to prevent Tao Zi from being seriously injured. As a result, they didn't care about his life or death for the so-called secret. It was really unreasonable.
Wang Xu continued, "I cared about Tao Zi at that time because she was my companion, but not now. If you don't give me an explanation, I will look for someone else."
Yue Qingya nodded and said, "Master Wang Shao, I understand what you mean. After all, no one wants a companion who disregards their life or death. It's good that you didn't attack us directly."
He said calmly, "That's because Tao Zi saved me in the end. Tell me, what's the reason?"
Tao Zi suddenly said, "The reason is that Tao Zi was suppressing herself at that time. Even if you were really weak, she wouldn't kill you."
Cheng Wuchou nodded and said, "Indeed. As for why we can see this, Young Sect Master, I'm sorry we can't tell you."
"really?"
"Seriously." This was Yue Qingya's answer. He stopped and said to Wang Xu, "Master Wang, I can guarantee that when Ah Zi fought you, she suppressed her strength and had no intention of killing you. That's why we dared to delay. If Ah Zi really gets out of control, we will suppress her no matter what."
Cheng Wuchou might not do this, but Yue Qingya would definitely do it.
"Of course I believe what Brother Yue said, and this matter is over."
Wang Xu walked slowly forward with them. As a young sect leader, if he said he believed, he really believed, and if he said he would turn the page, he really would turn the page.
As for not caring about it anymore, the most important reason was that they were companions on the journey and they couldn't ask too much of each other. Everyone present knew this.
