Chapter 166 Sunk Costs



"Lingwu, what are you doing?"

Outside the paper city, as the necromancer was watching the battle in the paper city, a mirror on his waist glowed, and then an exasperated voice was heard.

"Ling Er, don't you understand? I'm hunting!"

Ling Wu spoke nonchalantly.

"Hunting, you mobilized so many undead soldiers? And even mobilized the headless knight and the shadow assassin?"

Ling Er was very angry.

With such a big commotion, would the immortals in Xuanyang City be dead and not come out to check the situation?

We had finally managed to hide the undead bit by bit nearby, but now they were exposed.

"Wait until I can cultivate an Undead King. By then, he will just be a legend in a small world."

Ling Wu's words were full of confidence.

"King? Wait for me!"

Ling Er was startled and hung up the phone after leaving a message.

"Hey, Ling Er, if you come here, you will become my accomplice."

Ling Wu was very proud.

In order to capture Xu Luo, he lost a large number of undead. No matter what the result was, he would have a hard time facing the questioning of other necromancers. It was certainly a good thing to have a fellow sufferer at this time.

Ling Er on the other side was covered in a black robe and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"King-level Undead? Hehe!"

He sneered in an ambiguous manner and shook a bell in his hand, and all kinds of undead hidden in various places around him were directly mobilized by him.

In a short time, after gathering the nearby undead, he headed towards Ling Wu in a mighty manner.

Xu Luo was still unaware of the changes happening around him at this time. He was just silently accumulating strength and improving the strength of his Taoist soldiers.

It takes a huge amount of energy to upgrade from level three to level five, but what the Paper City lacks the least at this moment is Yin energy.

Here, there are countless dead golds, and the scattered yin energy is of course very huge.

At this time, Xu Luo directly mobilized this force to train his own Taoist soldiers, and the speed was of course very fast.

With just a thought, enormous power will be directly infused into the Taoist soldier's body and forcibly raised.

Taoist soldiers are not like cultivators who cannot control their strength if it increases too quickly.

Xu Luo didn't have time to engrave rune arrays, nor did he have time to prepare weapons and equipment for them, but at this time it was enough to just meet the basic strength requirements.

Looking at the undead souls entering the paper city and the ghosts he had thrown into the battlefield, the number of Taoist soldiers was increasing, and the paper city was showing a tendency to become unstable. Xu Luo sighed in his heart.

There were too many of them. Even though he quietly added runes and had Taoist soldiers to suppress them, many of the evil spirits were not assimilated and would still bring oppression, bringing the Paper City's capacity close to its limit.

Despite this, Xu Luo was not in a hurry.

A large amount of spiritual paper appeared, and then under his control, it turned into palaces.

It was not controlled by his divine consciousness, but by Ziwei's authority, so the speed was very fast. In just a short period of time, more than a dozen palaces appeared and fell precisely in various places under Xu Luo's control.

With the appearance of these palaces, the originally shaky paper city suddenly became as stable as Mount Tai.

Especially after the paper city was stabilized, the suppressing force was stronger and the blessing was greater, making the Taoist soldiers more powerful and the opponent was suppressed more severely. As the strength increased and decreased, the gap in strength between the two widened.

The result was that the Taoist soldiers displayed their great power, catching the undead creatures off guard and causing massive casualties in an instant.

It's like a chain reaction.

The more undead creatures die, the less oppressive the Paper City feels, and the more power it can use to suppress outsiders. The Taoist soldiers have higher blessings, are stronger, and cause greater damage, directly forming a cycle.

It is true that more undead creatures entered, but after all, it did not have a decisive effect. Instead, it continuously supplied power, allowing the Paper City to have more power.

After Xu Luo used the Yin energy in the Power Paper City to almost elevate the low-level Yin spirits in the Ghost Gathering Banner, he began to actively absorb the Yin spirits that had entered. As a result, as he absorbed these Yin spirits, the actual gap between the two became even greater.

He didn't even simply get rid of the evil spirits. Instead, after elevating them in the Ghost Gathering Banner, he sent them directly to the Paper City to join the battle.

While weakening others, you are also strengthening yourself.

Sitting on the imperial throne, two books were constantly flipping in front of Xu Luo.

At the same time, the ranking of his name is changing rapidly.

This is not a ranking refresh, but a change that Xu Luo himself can see.

Finally, the Tenglong list was completely finalized, and his name appeared on the first page.

The list of geniuses would flip from time to time until it stopped at the third page.

It was not until this time that the two books were completely silent.

Xu Luo looked at the paper city. He had so many Taoist soldiers, and even the paper city itself had been improved a lot. However, he was still not as good as Luo Qingzhui and Wuming when it was refreshed last time. He couldn't help but sigh that they were worthy of being the geniuses on the genius list. Even with so much help from external things, he was still unable to catch up with them.

However, the ranking is just a reference. He knows very well that all this is brought to him by the Paper City and the Ghost Gathering Banner. With his real cultivation level, he can't even enter the Tenglong Ranking.

Now, all 720 first-class Taoist soldiers of the Six Dings and Six Jias are level five, and the twelve divine generals are level six.

Xu Luo had been asking No. 1 and the others to absorb enormous power and make a breakthrough, but although No. 1 had been absorbing, it seemed as if there was no limit and it had not reached the limit. As for the breakthrough, it was even more distant.

Therefore, Xu Luo's desire to cultivate his first Return to Void Dao Soldier was just an idea.

The fighting in the paper city lasted for a while, with large numbers of Taoist soldiers and undead dying at all times.

Xu Luo was happy to see this, but Ling Wu couldn't sit still.

After investing so many undead, it seems like entering a bottomless pit. There is no sign of Xu Luo's limit. Is it really worth investing so much?

The most important thing is that the opponent has not shown any signs of fatigue. Can I continue to fight with him like this?

If it was at the beginning, Ling Wu naturally would not have any other ideas, because the undead army was invincible.

But now I have changed my mind.

It seems that I really can't fight against the other party.

There are indeed a lot of undead creatures, but he has already mobilized all the nearby ones. If the range is expanded, it will not only be just one undead creature that will attract attention.

Once he was discovered by other necromancers, Wu couldn't help but tremble at the thought of consuming so many undead spirits.

Faced with the opportunity to become a god, other necromancers would never let him go.

He felt very regretful, but now he had no choice but to continue.

If Xu Luo is not captured, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

This is the sunk cost.
