Thinking of this, Shangguan Ning finally lowered her proud head, took out another letter and a ring, and handed them to Xiang Sheng.
The meaning is self-evident.
Whether it was the mysterious remote communication method or the relationship with the Dragon King, Shangguan Ning was extremely wary.
She was completely convinced and didn't dare to do anything with the ghost town treasures. As for the immortal sword...
Shangguan Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he mentioned something else, which overshadowed his thoughts: "In the ghost town, the living souls can hardly move. There is a treasure in the secret vault you took away, called the Ghost Pupil.
As long as you wear it, you can block out the smell of living souls and walk freely in the ghost town."
"Ghost pupils..."
Xiang Sheng took the two things from Shangguan Ning's hand, recalled them briefly, and said with a smile:
“Every treasure in the secret vault is sealed with restrictions. I went through a lot of hardships to unlock a top-grade array plate, but I am helpless against the Ghost Eye.
If I remember correctly, there were two pairs of Ghost Pupils when they were stored, and the other pair should be in the armory. Lord Shangguan, why don't you send them off to the west?"
Shangguan Ning's face turned dark instantly.
She originally wanted to use this information to test how "Yue Sheng" unlocked the seal of the secret library and obtained the top-grade formation disk, but she didn't expect the other party to react so quickly and actually blackmail her.
If I don't give it, they will probably use the same threatening rhetoric again.
Shangguan Ning wanted to struggle again, "As the commander of the army, I cannot rob the company..."
"Sir, you have been guarding the Red and Green Army for all these years. Don't you have any military achievements?" Xiang Sheng asked.
Shangguan Ning's face turned even uglier. Did he want her to exchange it for military merits?
"The Ghost Eye is a treasure, valued at eight million! I've been stationed in the Red and Green Army for many years, and my military merits are worth tens of millions. How could you..."
Xiang Sheng curled his lips into a smile and interrupted Shangguan Ning: "Wasn't it the commander who brought up this topic first?"
Shangguan Ning was speechless, his heart filled with anger, but more of it was helplessness.
If she wasn't afraid that the Lord of Huacheng would mention Ghost Eye in front of Yuesheng, how could she have said anything?
If the Lord of Huacheng reads her letter and thinks Yuesheng is her good friend, letting Yuesheng know the existence of Ghost Eye and suspecting that she is hiding something, who knows whether she will choose to retaliate?
Yue Sheng was furious and sent a message back to the army, saying that the reputation and power she had worked so hard to build, everything, would be destroyed in an instant.
Now that there is no oath binding between the two parties, she cannot gamble.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Ning hurriedly asked Xiang Sheng to renew his oath to the heaven with her, stating that as long as the other party entered the ghost town, he could no longer go back on his word and trick her.
"Okay, I'll swear an oath then."
Xiang Sheng smiled slightly. Long-distance communication was just a bluff, so she readily agreed.
After making such an oath, Shangguan Ning finally felt at ease. He used up all his merits to exchange for the Ghost Eye and gave it to Xiang Sheng.
On the second day after the two sides reached an agreement, "Yue Sheng" reappeared in Yueying, which immediately caused an uproar in the camp.
Shangguan Qian was shocked and confused, but the female fairies in Yueying swept away their decadent atmosphere and their morale was greatly boosted!
Even the nine captains except Ye Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no other reason. It was Shangguan Ning's reckless command during the battle that made them suffer terribly.
And the harder it was, the more they missed the commander who had led them to charge and destroy the jackal tribe's base.
"Commander Yue is back!"
"I'm finally back, wow... After the commander left, I realized how difficult it is to win a battle."
"Didn't you say that the commander-in-chief is arrogant because of his achievements? Have you all forgotten?"
"Hehe, what's that little bit of arrogance? If I had the ability of the Lord Commander, I would be even more arrogant than the adults of my age!"
"It's obvious that the commander gave too little!"
“…”
Shangguan Ning was still waiting for "Yue Sheng" to come forward and take the blame for the rumors, so that she would feel a little better.
Who knew that once the other party showed up, without saying anything, the dirty water would be automatically washed away?!
She stared at "Yue Sheng" as he was bathed in the reverent gaze of the female fairies in Yueying. Her resentment grew stronger and she wished she could tear that always calm and indifferent face apart on the spot.
"Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it a little longer..."
Her nails dug into her palms, causing pain. She clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and forced herself to hold back her anger.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
Her vision should not be limited by this lowly servant.
When she achieves her ambition and takes over everything of the Shangguan family, won't she be able to do whatever she wants with just a female cultivator?
What's more, whether Yue Sheng will live or die in this trip to the ghost town is still unknown...
Thinking of this, Shangguan Ning felt much better. He finally let go of his obsession temporarily and sat calmly in front of Yue Sheng to discuss the next battle.
"Tomorrow is the day of battle. The ancient demon army is divided into three factions, all led by high-level bloodline tribes. Their overall strength is comparable and they are very difficult to deal with."
Shangguan Ning extended his hand and passed the intelligence on the three ancient demon armies to Xiang Sheng, saying in a subtle tone, "The Moon Camp is no match for any of them. If they want to win, I'm afraid... they'll need to raise their stakes."
The implication of these words was obvious. Even Ye Chuxue, who was standing nearby, could hear that Shangguan Ning wanted Master Yue Sheng to take out the supreme formation plate.
She sneered in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw Xiang Sheng smiling slightly and pointing it out directly.
"Sir, the times are different now. The morale of the Moon Camp is low. Even if I replace the top-grade array plate with a top-grade one, the improvement will be limited.
Strength is an extremely important factor in determining victory, but it is not the only factor; tactics are also indispensable."
Shangguan Ning saw that Yue Sheng not only did not agree to let her use the supreme array plate, but instead lectured her. The anger that she had suppressed with great difficulty immediately flared up:
"The Moon Camp has suffered heavy casualties and can no longer withstand the ordeal! You have a top-grade formation plate, why don't you use it?
Everyone in the Wangyue Camp admires you so much, yet you don't care about their lives at all!"
Xiang Sheng listened attentively, then chuckled softly, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone:
"How did the Moon Camp suffer casualties? Doesn't your Excellency know?"
Shangguan Ning's expression froze, his face livid: "You..."
"Can't we win the battle without a supreme formation plate?"
Xiang Sheng's tone became even calmer. "Since I have already reached an agreement with you, my Lord, you only need to wait for the victory and do not worry about anything else."
"Moon! Win!"
Shangguan Ning was so angry that his face turned pale. He stared at Xiang Sheng for a long while, but in the end he said nothing. He turned away with a gloomy face and turned away his sleeves.
The three ancient demon vanguard tribes are not as useless as the jackals.
After suffering many defeats in a row, facing the same opponent, Shangguan Ning both wanted Yue Sheng to win and didn't want her to win.
If the enemy she has been unable to defeat is vulnerable to Yue Sheng, wouldn't it make her look even more incompetent?
But she couldn't bear the consequences of losing the game...
With extremely conflicting emotions, Shangguan Ning tossed and turned sleeplessly until dawn, and finally the time to go into battle arrived.
She hurried out, but saw that the immortals in the Moon Camp were still at their base and had not gone to the battlefield at all.
