Chapter 371 Are there still ghosts?
No one spoke. If they placed their souls in the Soul-Locking Banner, it would mean putting their life and death in the hands of others, or even being inferior to others forever.
But they couldn't say the word "reluctant". This was the only chance they had encountered in all these years.
"I agree, and I want to make it clear that I am not a deserter. I was knocked unconscious by my father and locked in a magic weapon, which is how I managed to survive. I have no guilt. I want to die with them. They abandoned me."
Unexpectedly, it was the fairy who spoke first. Zhong Ling'er looked at her stubborn little face, sneered, and moved her hand, asking her to send one soul into the banner.
Zhong Ling'er moved a few times among the torture instruments, and then she saw the black iron bars of the fairy's cell disappear, and the fairy walked out in a few steps.
Everyone was shocked. This little girl really had a way to rescue them. And the method was so simple, as simple as if she knew how to open the door. But how did she know all this? Who was she?
The fairy told Zhong Ling'er that her name was Li Yuru, and she came from the Langyu Immortal Cultivation World and was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.
The fox demon told Zhong Ling'er that her name was Mei'er, and she came from the Huanyu Immortal Cultivation World. She was the most beautiful woman in the demon clan and the daughter of the fox clan leader.
Zhong Ling'er smiled, knowing that they wanted to know her origins, so she said, "My name is Zhong Ling'er, and I am a disciple of the Taiqiong Sect. The tower you are in is called the Demon Subduing Tower, which is the magic weapon of the Tianji Pavilion. If I am not mistaken, you were all captured by the people of the Tianji Pavilion."
Mei Er asked doubtfully, "Is there any conflict between your Taiqiong Sect and Tianji Pavilion? Otherwise, how dare they touch a sect disciple?"
"The Tianji Pavilion is a bad guy. Isn't it normal for them to bully people? The biggest feature of our Taiqiong Sect is that we are poor. From the leader to the disciples, we are all a group of poor and honest people. How dare we provoke the Tianji Pavilion?"
Zhong Ling'er had a sad face, and she looked like she was suffering from a lot of hatred but dared not speak out. If people hadn't experienced how difficult she was, they would have believed that she was a "poor, honest person."
"How did you know how to open the cell door?"
Li Yuru came to the torture instrument and fiddled with it a few times like Zhong Ling'er did, but found that it had no effect.
Zhong Ling'er smiled mysteriously, "Miss Li, if you learn the law of space and become a formation master and a talisman master, then you will understand the trick."
Li Yuru immediately put down the torture instruments. She did not meet any of the three conditions, so she did not embarrass herself.
Zhong Ling'er waited for a while, and seeing that no one said anything, she went to the fourth floor. The old man finally said, "Zhong Ling'er, I agree to your terms. But you can't just rescue us from the cell, you have to rescue us from this tower so that we can survive in this world."
"Why?"
"Our lives and deaths are in your hands."
Zhong Linger frowned, “To be honest, I don’t want a bunch of deserters.”
Everyone was silent. After a long while, a man said in a deep voice: "I will never run away again!"
Li Yuru approached Zhong Ling'er and whispered, "Strictly speaking, we are not good people. We have been punished enough for tens of thousands of years in prison. Please give us another chance."
Zhong Ling'er glanced at the crowd and threw out the small white banner in her hand. Fourteen people drew out one of their souls and entered into the banner. Zhong Ling'er then walked to the torture instrument and fiddled with it for a while, then released everyone and led everyone up the stairs to the fourth floor.
But to Zhong Ling'er's surprise, there were still fifteen cells on the fourth floor, and the people imprisoned inside were not monsters, but ghost cultivators. To put it bluntly, they were ghost cultivators from the underworld.
The Ghost King's voice rang out in Zhong Ling'er's sea of consciousness, "They are not dead!"
His voice was full of surprise, and Zhong Ling'er heard a hint of joy in the surprise.
"What is their relationship to you, your men?"
"Yes, they were sent to various small worlds to lead the souls of the dead. We thought they were all dead, but most of them are still alive. How did they get here?"
The Ghost King couldn't understand it. According to the rules, people from the Underworld could return home by opening a passage in any small world. Even if they came to the land abandoned by the Gods, they could go directly back to the Underworld. Then why were they caught and imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower?
After learning from the last lesson, everyone let Zhong Ling'er walk in front to prevent anyone else from entering the hidden space.
After Zhong Linger found the hidden space here and avoided it, she brought everyone to a safe place and then looked at the imprisoned ghost cultivator.
"Little girl, you are amazing. You actually avoided the trap at the entrance."
A beautiful woman in black clothes and purple lips was talking to Zhong Ling'er with a smile, but her nose was sniffing something inadvertently.
"Sister, you are ghost cultivators, are you from the underworld? How did you get trapped here?"
Zhong Ling'er's question made the beautiful woman smile even more. "Little girl, you call me sister, you are so sweet. We are all from the underworld. As for why we are trapped here, it is because after fighting with the demons, we were more or less stained with demonic energy, so we were thrown here."
Demonic energy? Zhong Linger looked at the few people and found that they did not have any demonic energy. On the contrary, because of the lack of Yin energy here, the ghost cultivators were not in good condition.
The beauty seemed to see Zhong Ling'er's confusion and said angrily, "You are looking for evil spirits, right? After so many years, we still can't eliminate that little bit of evil spirits? You underestimate us ghost cultivators too much."
"Then why are you still imprisoned now that you have no demonic energy? Did you do something wrong?"
"Humph!" said a man nearby, "What could we have done wrong? The people of this world wanted to take us hostage and negotiate terms with Hades at a critical moment. The people here are simply crazy. They actually want to go straight from the underworld to the fairyland. It's simply wishful thinking."
Zhong Ling'er held her chin with her hand. Has the fallen angel also thought about entering the fairyland from the underworld? It really coincides with her idea. It seems that this is indeed a way to go. As for whether it can work, it depends on which side has better skills.
Li Yuru and the others discussed for a while and said to Zhong Ling'er, "Don't let them out yet. If too many people move around, the tower will think there is an invasion by foreign enemies, and it will be on alert."
Zhong Linger smiled, "Since the people from Tianji Pavilion locked me up, they knew that there was an invasion, so be brave, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, I will not let them walk around outside."
Zhong Ling'er turned her wrist, took out the message butterfly that Ling Ji gave her and held it up to show the ghost cultivators, who immediately became excited.
"Ling Ji, those are Lady Ling Ji's things!"
"Oh my god, this little girl actually knows Lady Ling Ji, we are saved!"
"Little girl, can you send a message to Lady Lingji and tell her we are here?"
