Shen Wuyou no longer looked at its creepy gaze, but instead looked out the window at the hazy and darkening sky outside and suddenly asked:
"What's the situation outside? What happened?"
This question was addressed to the Ghost Master. Of the one demon and two ghosts present, only he could possibly know what the situation was. And he lived up to everyone's expectations and spoke decisively:
"We have received instructions from the Ghost King to slaughter everyone in Juancheng except the city lord."
"What?! Why?"
Shen Wuyou was extremely shocked. What was the Ghost King's purpose in doing this? Since he wanted to make a deal with the city lord and capture a woman every month, he would definitely not massacre the city and cut off his own path.
However, the Ghost Master shook his head. He said that like other ghost soldiers, they were just emotionless killing machines that could be captured and killed at any time. The Ghost King would certainly not let them know too much.
Seeing this, Shen Wuyou had no other options. Her only option now was to find the others to reunite and discuss the matter. She had a feeling the Ghost King's goal wouldn't be so simple and crude as to slaughter an entire city to vent his anger.
"Let's go out first."
Bai Yumo and An Lanqing have higher cultivation levels, so there should be no problem for them to work together, not to mention Ling Wangqing. The only one who might be in trouble right now should be Yan Qingli, who just woke up and is still weak.
Although Long Aojun is full of passion, he is actually a simple-minded person. Let's go and take a look.
As he spoke, he quickly opened the door and walked out to take a look. Although the courtyard was a little chilly and creepy due to the gusts of wind, there was nothing unusual.
The grass and trees swayed, the courtyard was deserted, the outline of the moon could be vaguely seen in the dark blue sky, the ground was mottled with sparse shadows, and there was not a drop of blood.
Shen Wuyou didn't believe the Ghost King would mercifully withdraw his order, so he asked, "Where are those ghost soldiers?"
The Ghost Master lowered his head in shame and answered truthfully, "There was a very powerful immortal. We were no match for him. I guess we all died. I only managed to escape by hiding in the master's room."
"Immortal? The one who uses spiritual fire?" Her first reaction was Ling Qingwang. It turned out that he had been killing ghosts nearby.
It seems that there are indeed a lot of ghosts. Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.
Before the Ghost Master could respond, it suddenly shrank back, hiding behind Shen Wuyou like a mouse seeing a cat, pointing towards the roof opposite, and trembling, said:
"There...he's just there..."
That's a pervert! God knows what it's been through, but now, just seeing that figure from afar makes me tremble with fear and wish I could disappear on the spot.
Shen Wuyou looked in the direction of the voice and saw the cold figure that stood tall like a pine tree, straight as a bamboo, proud and outstanding, looking down at her from above. His eyes were as cold and ruthless as ever, staring straight at her... and the two ghosts.
Seeing his sword-like eyebrows slightly knitted, as if he was puzzled, Shen Wuyou raised his head and faced him directly, explaining, "Don't worry, sir, these two are my people now. They won't harm anyone again, and they will provide us with clues about the ghost clan."
Ling Wangqing frowned even more deeply when he heard this. He didn't understand why a ghost who was obviously above the Xuan level failed to kill Shen Wuyou successfully and even signed a contract and recognized him as the master without any intervention from others?
Shen Wuyou saw that he still had that expression, but he must have heard it, so he said no more and asked Ghost Master again:
"Since the Ghost King wants to massacre the city, he wouldn't just send such a small number of troops, right?"
As expected, the Ghost Master timidly shook his head and stole a glance at Ling Wangqing on the roof. Seeing that he had no intention of moving, he trembled and said, "There is a secret door behind the study in the City Lord's Mansion. Inside is a portal leading to the Ghost Clan. We all came from there."
"So, you mean that there will be a lot of ghost soldiers coming from there continuously?" Shen Wuyou asked.
The ghost master nodded.
Seeing this, Shen Wuyou fell silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the Ghost General and Ghost Master, and ordered:
"You two, quickly go to Yan Qingli and help them resist the invading ghosts and protect the people. Also, be sure to tell them to gather everyone who can be gathered inside and outside the city to the City Lord's Mansion. If you can't explain it, just gesture. As long as they can understand, it will be fine. There must be no mistakes."
"Yes! Master."
The ghost general and ghost master nodded in agreement, thinking that this job was easy. There were not many ghosts who could reach the second level of the Xuan level. This trip would be too easy, so they hurried to show their skills.
But before he could turn around, he heard another sound——
"Wait!" Shen Wuyou stroked his chin and looked at them from top to bottom. Then, he used vines as thin as threads to weave two red triangular strips of cloth and said:
"If you go like this, they'll inevitably mistake you for invading ghosts and destroy you along with them. You won't even be able to explain yourself. Wear this red scarf with my demon seal totem on it. They'll understand when they see it."
The two ghosts looked at each other in surprise for a moment, then said in surprise, "Yes! Thank you, Master!"
But he didn't know how to tie it in his hand, so he could only tie a knot roughly and tied it on the black cloak outside his neck. Shen Wuyou's forehead twitched when he saw it. Finally, he couldn't stand how they treated the red scarf, so he tied a standard red scarf knot for the two of them himself.
Ling Wangqing was far away, and what he saw was Shen Wuyu approaching the two ghosts without any hesitation, putting red handkerchiefs on their necks in a very intimate posture, and carefully straightening the wrinkles on the handkerchiefs for them!
Thinking that she had behaved recklessly with him this morning after getting drunk, and that she was still acting without any distinction between men and women now that she was sober, Ling Wangqing felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't understand the reason, and finally attributed it to Shen Wuyu being too unrestrained and having no sense of distinction between men and women!
His eyes darkened, his expression darkened, and he stared coldly at the two ghosts and one demon below him. His thumb slowly pried open the scabbard...
"Young Master!"
At this time, Shen Wuyou, who had just finished arranging the two ghosts, suddenly flew towards him, with a smile on his face. After greeting him, he instantly became serious and said bluntly:
"Sir, do you have a jade token to contact Yumo and Master An? I have something I want to tell them. It's a matter of great importance and cannot be delayed. It needs to be done as soon as possible."
Ling Wang stared at her with cold eyes, and seeing that there was no falsehood in her eyes, he turned his wrist and took out a white jade token the size of his palm. He exerted a little force with his palm, and the jade token began to emit a bright white light.
Soon, a clear voice came from inside -
"Wangqing, what's the matter?"
