Chapter 481: Civil War in the Underworld
Master Jiang was shocked at first, and then he looked at Zhong Ling'er with disdain, "If you don't understand, just say you don't understand. Why bother making excuses? You're a ninth-rank formation master, but you can't even find a reliable excuse to brag."
"Okay, get to work. If you don't finish it, you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Zhong Ling'er shrugged her shoulders and pulled the Ghost King to set up the formation.
"You're just so obedient, why don't you fight with that person?"
Zhong Ling'er looked at the Ghost King like a fool as she walked, "It costs money to ask me to set up the formation, and it can't be a small amount of money. I'm not so great as to work for you for free."
"Also, I'm here to have fun, not to be a laborer. Let's find a chance to slip away."
"Since you are here, don't even think about leaving until you finish your work. Do you think it's easy for me to find a few people to repair the formation?"
A ghost general came over with a dark face, and the Ghost King had hidden in Zhong Ling'er's sea of consciousness at some point.
Now the weak Zhong Ling'er could not escape, and was taken to the place by the ghost general, who stayed behind to watch Zhong Ling'er set up the formation.
Without spiritual power, Zhong Linger could only use a small shovel to dig holes and bury the formation base, which was really hard labor.
"I heard you were quite capable, but it turns out you're not that good. You can't even finish this job as fast as Qingyun."
The ghost general looked at it for a long time and found it boring, so he couldn't help but make a few comments.
Zhong Ling'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and expressed her dissatisfaction. She was a woman and Qingyun was a man, so there was a natural difference in their physical strength.
"No, I just don't understand why you don't find some skilled formation masters. That sixth-grade formation master is not that good. If you had found a ninth-grade one, you would have already set up the formation!"
"You think I don't want to, but I have to be able to find them. Besides, formation masters are very scarce everywhere. Not only are there very few who have reached the ninth level, but most of them have ascended to heaven. How can it be our turn in the underworld?"
Zhong Linger rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't a Master Zhong die in the God-Forsaken Land a few years ago? He was a ninth-rank formation master. If you find him, everything will be solved."
The ghost general sighed, "A talent like that, not to mention me, even Hades didn't keep him. With all his merits, he was directly reincarnated into the immortal world."
Zhong Ling'er felt somewhat disappointed. She had thought that she could see her adoptive father, but he had already been reincarnated. However, since he had gone to the fairyland, it seemed that he had finally gotten what he wanted.
Seeing that Zhong Ling'er was in a low mood, the ghost general kindly advised: "Don't be sad, I see that you have a lot of merits. Once you have set up the formation, I will let you reincarnate, and you will be reincarnated directly into the fairyland, saving you the hard training in the next life."
Zhong Ling'er was very touched. She came up to the ghost general and said sincerely, "I thought you were very fierce, but I didn't expect you to be such a nice person!"
The ghost general was frightened by her and took a step back. He turned around awkwardly and said, "This is my duty. It has nothing to do with me. Hurry up and work. Don't try to be lazy."
Zhong Ling'er immediately laid down two formation bases, then clapped her hands and gave the ghost general a flattering smile, "I think I have set it up, can you help me inject some spiritual power to see if it works?"
The ghost general raised his eyebrows, "If I don't have spiritual power, will ghost power work?"
Zhong Ling'er nodded, then told him the location of the center of the formation and asked him to inject ghost power.
A white light rose up into the sky, and the runes of the formation floated in the air. Two surprised voices were heard: "It's done!"
Zhong Ling'er smiled cunningly, and the ghost general suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was he standing in the formation? He wanted to walk out, but found that he was blocked by the formation. He could only watch Zhong Ling'er wave goodbye to him.
How stupid he was, he actually fell into the trap of a new ghost and trapped himself in the formation.
"Damn you Li Zhong, don't let me catch you!"
Zhong Ling'er's voice came from afar, "With your brain, I guess you'll never be able to catch me in this lifetime!"
After running a long way, Zhong Ling'er passed through several simple formations and arrived in the city.
The Ghost King showed up again.
"Did the ghost know you just now?"
The Ghost King stroked his forehead and said, "My subordinates are the generals responsible for guarding this city."
Zhong Ling'er was speechless, "No wonder he couldn't defend the city. He had to come up with some kind of formation. You should replace him with someone with brains."
The Ghost King rolled his eyes. It would be useless even if he replaced ten of them. After all, none of his men were smart.
Zhong Ling'er was dissatisfied. "You are scolding me in your heart, right? It's not that I am cunning, it's really that he is stupid. He heard that I was planning to escape, but he didn't raise his guard!"
"Why didn't he raise his guard? He was standing by and watching you. He even promised to send you to reincarnate in the fairyland afterwards. With such good conditions, a normal ghost would never run away!"
What is a normal ghost? There are always unexpected things. So what if she is not a normal ghost?
Zhong Ling'er wanted to argue with the Ghost King, but suddenly she noticed that the Ghost King had a serious look on his face. He then said "stay here well" and ran away.
Zhong Ling'er trembled, "No, I'm just a weak little ghost who can't take care of myself. How can you ask me to stay well? Any ghost here can bully me!"
"Lin Chongzhanhong, if there is any danger later, can you come out and help me? The last Fallen Angel stayed here for a long time, so you should be able to do it too!"
Lin Chong was speechless, "Zhong Ling'er, are you sure you want us to come out?"
The last Fallen Angel troubled the Underworld for a long time. If two of them appeared at once this time, Hades would probably go crazy.
Zhong Linger nodded firmly, "It can't be helped. Who let the Ghost King escape?"
Bai Ze felt that it was unfair to let the Ghost King take the blame, so he wanted to save his companion and hurriedly repeated what the Ghost King said, "Don't worry, the Ghost King asked you to stay well, which means that the city is safe."
"That means it's not safe outside the city. What do you think can threaten the safety of the underworld?"
Zhong Ling'er became curious and no longer felt afraid. She ran towards the outside of the city as if her legs were uncontrollable.
Bai Ze smiled bitterly, raised his hoof and slapped himself. He really didn't mean to mention the word "outside the city".
Several tattered formations outside the city wall rose up, blocking a group of ghost cultivators with red eyes. They kept hitting the formation with their bodies and looked at everyone in the city with vicious eyes.
The ghost cultivators guarding the city were standing behind the formation with their weapons in hand, ready for battle, but without anyone to lead them, their momentum was a little weak.
The Ghost King appeared in the air outside the formation at this time. Opposite him was another Ghost King, and there was a hint of demonic energy on him.
"Ghost Three, long time no see, what's wrong with you? I can find a way to remove the evil spirit from you, please stop."
Ghost Three laughed shrilly, "Ghost Six, you and I were both possessed by the evil spirit back then. You hid in the God-forsaken Land to fend for yourself, and they forced me to do the same. But I am not you. Why should I be abandoned by them the next second when I was killing monsters for them one second?"
