Chapter 1177 I take my time and do a fine job!
There was a huge commotion outside the city, so loud that the entire City of the Dead was alarmed, and countless souls rushed out of the houses in the city to check the situation.
But now it was night, and the gates of the City of the Dead were closed, so no one could get out. All they could do was watch from inside the city as flames shot up into the sky in the northwest direction, which was particularly dazzling.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Judging from the direction, something must have happened in the Living Dead Mountains. Could it be that some powerful ghost or thousands-year-old monster has appeared?"
"No way? There hasn't been any unusual movement recently."
"Is it possible that there are experts out there causing trouble? The Living Dead Mountains are large and deep, and there are countless ghost beasts hiding inside. It's a good place for training, so it's not surprising that someone would go to the Living Dead Mountains to look for resources."
"There haven't been any experts coming to Wrongful Death City recently. Could it be that person?"
"It's not impossible now that you put it that way. He just left the City of the Dead not long ago!"
"No way? Can he make such a big fuss by himself? No matter how talented and powerful he is, he can only..."
"Stop talking, you're just jealous. If it's him, then nothing is impossible. After all, his talent is obvious to all, and everyone in the whole Wrongful Death City is convinced by him."
"Who is jealous of him? He has his speed but I also have my rhythm! What's wrong with being slow? I'm just taking my time to produce a fine product!"
Outside the window of the inn, Ye Linglong listened to the chattering of the souls who came out to watch the excitement. She couldn't help but slightly clench her fingers and scratched her nails on the table.
"Junior sister, are you worried that this commotion is caused by the three-eyed evil ghost hiding in the Living Dead Mountains?"
"It's in the Living Dead Mountains, just across the city. I won't feel at ease until I get it, not to mention that such a big commotion happened tonight. If it's just this one step away, I..."
Shen Lixian grabbed Ye Linglong's hand which was scratching the table with its nails.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Think about how tortuous the process was for the discovery of the Three-Eyed Devil in the Underworld Sea. It doesn't make sense for us to go through so much trouble to track him down here, only to let someone else get there first."
Shen Lixian took out a bottle of jade dew from the ring and handed it to Ye Linglong to let her feel relieved.
"Besides, what reason do the people of the underworld have to track down the three-eyed evil ghost that destroys the world? The person behind it is at least a Five-Direction Ghost Emperor or above. Who would be so desperate?
Well, even if this thing is really the three-eyed evil spirit that destroys the world, and it has fallen into someone else's hands, can we get more clues? Because, in this way, we can find more people involved in the game."
Ye Linglong chuckled, picked up the jade dew on the table and poured it into his throat.
The fragrant spiritual fluid flowed across her lips and tongue, entered her throat, and quickly entered her body and spread to every part of her body. She felt much more comfortable and calm.
"Second Brother, you are right. I was too anxious. Fortunately, you were by my side to remind me."
"Same for me, luckily you are here."
At this time, outside the City of the Dead came one ghost roar after another, which sounded as shocking as the wailing of thousands of ghosts. At the same time, the flames that shot up into the sky did not weaken at all, but became brighter and brighter.
From time to time, the sound of mountains collapsing and grass and trees exploding could be heard. Just as those people discussed, it seemed that a fierce battle that was shocking and terrifying was taking place in the Living Death Mountains outside the City of Death.
"To be able to make such a big noise, both sides must be very powerful, right?" Ye Linglong sighed, "What a pity, I didn't get to experience it."
After she finished speaking, she chuckled again.
"But they deliberately chose to attack when the gates of the City of the Dead were closed, because they didn't want to be seen. If I hadn't been lazy and teleported directly to the City of the Dead, but chose to fly over... it wouldn't work either. By the time I flew there, the gates would be about to open, and they would probably have finished the fight."
After listening to Ye Linglong mumbling to himself, Shen Lixian laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You are so cute when you are always talking nonsense."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"I knew that useless guy from 7025 was still sleeping. It seems that no one will compete with me for the opportunity to show off today. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Hei Jiuda came over from the stairs in a swagger. The tone of his voice was very casual, and there was a nonchalant look in his expression.
He said everything openly, which was the opposite of the cautious 7025.
"Can the gate be opened?"
"No, the Hades' rules must be followed even if the Five Ghost Emperors come."
Heijiu spread his hands, then sat down next to them and poured himself a cup of tea.
The way he gestured and carried himself finally showed some of the demeanor of a master in the late stage of Mahayana.
"Is there any way to find out about a person?"
"That's easy."
Heijiu turned around and waved to the shopkeeper at the counter, motioning him to come over.
The shopkeeper immediately put down the work in his hands, put on a smile, bent over and walked towards Ye Linglong and his group's table.
"Master Ghost Envoy, what can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for the person who caused such a big commotion outside the city."
"Master Ghost Envoy, you are joking. If the city gates are not opened at night, we won't know who is outside the city."
"Suspect."
"There is one, the one who left the city a few days ago."
"Tell me more."
"This person is amazing, extremely gifted. He has been in this City of the Dead for less than 50 years, and he has already cultivated his own body, breaking the fastest record in the City of the Dead.
You know, in the past, after coming to this City of the Dead, the number of people who left by cultivating into physical bodies has never exceeded one hundred since records began in the underworld!"
"That sounds really impressive." Heijiu tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "What tribe is he from?"
"Human race."
Hearing these two words, Hei Jiu showed a hint of surprise. Ye Linglong's hand, which had originally stopped scratching the table, inadvertently left several scratches. Even Shen Lixian fell into deep thought.
The shopkeeper couldn't help laughing when he saw their expressions.
"You can't believe it, right? The weakest human has broken the record of Wrongful Death City. Lord Ghost Envoy, you don't know how fierce this human is. Anyone who provokes him will end up with nothing good. That's why the people in Wrongful Death City avoid him when they see him."
"He killed a lot of souls in the City of the Dead?"
"No, he won't provoke others, but he can't stop others from provoking him."
"Why?"
"First, he is a human. Second, he is good-looking. Third, he is extremely talented."
When Heijiu heard that it was a human, he thought about the two people behind him, one was a ghost and the other was a demon, and they should not be interested in humans, so he prepared to change the questions.
Who would have thought that when he turned around and was about to ask the young lady what else she wanted to know, he received a look from the young lady asking, "Why don't you keep asking?"
So Heijiu turned around and continued to ask the shopkeeper.
"What level of cultivation does he have? How could he make such a big fuss?"
"You may not believe it, but he is only in the early stage of Mahayana. His cultivation is two small realms lower than yours."
Heijiu was surprised.
"Can an early Mahayana cultivator make such a commotion?"
