Walking in the lonely hall, Wu Gen was like a wizard, constantly making the dead corpses stand up again to die again. Having experienced all kinds of excruciating places, these ferocious corpses and the floating aura of death were as ordinary as the flowers and plants on the roadside to him.
After searching around, Ji Xin's whereabouts was not found, and anxiety crept onto his face. Although he is not afraid of the death energy in the city, this is at the cost of releasing his own death energy to suppress it.
If at noon, the death energy in the city becomes thicker, he will need to release more of the death energy contained in himself. This is like walking a tightrope. If it exceeds a certain limit, Wu Gen is not sure whether he can still maintain his sanity.
Once he sinks into it, he may become the biggest monster in the city, waiting for someone to rescue him or devour the lives of those who enter the city.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wu Gen walked to the west side of the main hall, jumped onto the palace wall, and walked quickly on it. Suddenly, at a corner, Wu Gen found that the aura of death here was even stronger, as if ink had been dripped into the turbid water.
Jumping off the palace wall, Wu Gen tried to dig into the ground here with a broken knife. After digging through the thick soil, a stone slab more than two feet thick appeared. Wu Gen took a breath of air as he opened the stone slab. There were corpses inside.
The upper bodies of these corpses were broken back from the waist, and a long nail engraved with runes was driven into the wide-open mouth to nail the two pieces of the body together.
Needless to say, this is the formation of the so-called Evil Gathering Formation. It is these corpses that cannot rest in peace after death that activate the formation covering the entire city.
It is conceivable that there must be many such corpses in the city. Looking at the clothes of these corpses, Wu Gen suddenly understood why the death energy in the northwest was weaker.
These people also have the inscriptions of various families on them, and they should be members of various clans killed during Ji Xin's purge. These people were transported from the direction of Hanlu City in the east. Perhaps there was insufficient manpower, or perhaps the people transporting the corpses were lazy, so naturally there were fewer in the west.
Sighing, Wu Gen continued to move forward. Gradually, he noticed that the death energy around him became thicker, because the death energy in his body was rapidly flowing out.
Although the sun could not be seen in the sky in the city, Wu Gen knew that noon was getting closer.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Gen quickened his pace. If he couldn't find Ji Xin, he was ready to exit this dead city.
When he arrived at the north of the city, Wu Gen suddenly found an altar in front of him, and the death energy around it was obviously much thinner.
With a thought in his heart, Wu Gen sped over and ran over. On the tall altar, there was a man sitting cross-legged in the middle. He held a black sword in both hands, and the sword emitted a faint glow, enveloping the man's body.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wu Gen landed on the altar. When Wu Gen saw the other person's face clearly, his body suddenly shook. He knew this person as one of the old men he met when he was catching fish in Lushan.
Taking out the paper on his body, Wu Gen looked at the person opposite him carefully and found that they were indeed similar. This old man with his eyes closed and unable to see life or death should be Ji Xin, the head of the Ji family, the lord of the Iron Hand Province, and the future leader of the Ji country.
Judging from his appearance, there is still flesh and blood on his body, so his body must not have been completely eroded by the death energy. Looking around, Wu Gen suddenly realized why there was so little death energy here.
This altar has been offering sacrifices to heaven and earth all year round, so it is naturally imbued with a lot of yang energy, which can resist the invasion of death energy. Moreover, the sword in his hand is also very magical, and it can actually protect him from the attacks of those resentful spirits.
"Lord, Ji Xin." Wu Gen called softly, carefully restraining his death energy, and stabbed the opponent's body with the broken knife.
After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes. A violent aura rushed towards his face, which was a pair of violent eyes, full of bloodshot eyes, but the pupils were rotating crazily, like a vortex formed by turbid water.
Wu Gen retreated to the altar cautiously. This man had obviously lost his mind. If he were Ji Xin, he would probably be slapped to death with one palm.
With a plop, Ji Xin's body fell to the ground, letting out a low roar from his mouth, and kept grabbing the solid ground with his hands, leaving deep scratches.
Obviously, even if the other party has a certain level of cultivation, after resisting the death energy for such a long time, he has reached the point where his energy is exhausted.
Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, walked to the other party, and squatted down carefully, "You are the lord, and I am Wu Gen. If you are still conscious, you might as well raise your head."
After a long time, Ji Xin finally stopped struggling and sat up with the black sword in her trembling hands, "Wu Gen..."
The voice was hoarse, like a door shaft that hadn't been oiled in years.
"Exactly, I'm here to save you." While the other party was awake, Wu Gen quickly stated his intention.
Seeing the black energy lingering around Wu Gen, Ji Xin's eyes opened wider and wider, "You...are you dead or alive."
"Of course you are alive, but if you stay here longer, I'm afraid you will die. So." Wu Gen paused, "I will tie you up and take you away from here."
"Why did you save me? Who did this to me?" Ji Xin finally spoke fluently.
"Your eldest son Ji Chen wants to take your life. You know the cause and effect. As for why I saved you, of course it was for your second eldest son Ji Ye. Who made him my brother? Now, he has also been Imprisoned in Zhaoqin City, if you don't get out, the Ji family will be doomed. Ji Ye will probably be killed by his brother and sister-in-law or imprisoned in a dark room for the rest of his life." Wu Gen looked at the other party coldly, but he did not expect that Ji Ye was known as a violent tiger. Ji Xin, I have seen it before.
"My body is exhausted and cannot resist the death energy. Besides, my mind is in and out of control. I'm afraid I might accidentally injure you. How do I get through the city?" After learning Wu Gen's intention, Ji Xin explained it directly. own current situation.
Wu Gen took the box off his back and untied the cotton cloth on it. When the box was opened, there was a small vertical cold fish inside.
"You might as well eat this fish, and when your body is frozen solid, I can drag you out." Wu Gen pushed the box forward.
Looking at the vertical fish on the ground, Ji Xin smiled bitterly, "I gave you a fish that day, but I didn't expect it to be today. One drink and one peck, isn't it destiny?"
"Sorry, I went in a hurry and only caught a small one, without the inner elixir." Wu Gen pointed to the small fish on the ground.
"That's enough." Ji Ye grabbed the fish and stuffed it into his mouth. Soon a fish was in his stomach.
After a while, a thin layer of ice appeared on Ji Xin's body. Before losing consciousness, he pointed at the black sword in front of him and said: "This sword is called Heiqi. It is an ancestral item of the Ji family. You must not lose it here. If If I die, please give the sword to Ye'er."
Wu Gen nodded, stepped forward and hung the sword on his waist. With a thud, Ji Xin finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground, with a layer of ice surrounding her body.
Wu Gen took out a cowhide bag and carefully stuffed Ji Ye into it with the scabbard. She didn't dare to carry him out directly. She couldn't bear the cold air of this vertical fish, and if Ji Xin was contaminated with the death air on her body, there would be no need to save her today.
Tying a rope to the bag, Wu Gen shook his hand, and a ball of dead air floated around the bag. By walking in the city in this way, you can avoid being harmed by the Evil Gathering Formation. Read the book
After looking around, Wu Gen didn't dare to delay any longer, so he grabbed the bag and ran out of the city. The further he walked, the more Wu Gen felt the death energy in his body surging outward. Knowing that the death energy in the city was being squeezed by the sun, he no longer cared about whether Ji Xin would be bumped, so he activated his divine walking technique, and quickly He ran towards the outside of the city.
Putting his feet on the city wall and looking at the ring turning faster and faster with his left hand, Wu Gen gasped and pushed hard, and black energy jumped out of his body.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Wu Gen threw Ji Xin out. There was no time to inquire about his life and death, so he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, flying his hands up and down, urging the Zhen character to suppress his own death energy. After a stick of incense, the death energy in his body finally calmed down.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking back at the dead city, Wu Gen shook his head slightly. Ji Chen should have died just because of this city.
Due to the urgency of coming out, he was now in the north of the city. Wu Gen pulled the rope and dragged Ji Xin towards the northwest.
A figure passed by in the distance. Shui Luo fell to Wu Gen's side. He looked up and down and said, "Is everything okay?"
"Very good." Wu Gen showed his big white teeth.
"Let's go." Shui Congyue pulled the rope, held Wu Gen under his arm with one hand, and quickly returned to the place where the shuttle was parked.
"Fortress leader, governor..." Everyone gathered around, all looking happy. Seeing that the sun was almost overhead, I was worried when I finally saw Wu Gen returning safely.
"Let's go back to Liangzhe Mountain." Wu Gen jumped on the shuttle. Although Ji Ye was not rescued during this trip, it was also a big gain to bring Ji Xin back. With this person in the Fearless Army, he would have the moral high ground if he used troops against Ji Chen.
The shuttle landed at Suikong Peak. Wu Gen didn't want Ji Xin to enter Xianwan Ridge, and You Shui Congyue was watching. If he recovered, there would be someone to restrain him.
The doctor from the army rushed over and carefully removed the ice from Ji Xin's body, and gave her cold-repelling elixirs.
While Ji Xin was still awake, Wu Gen sat in Shui Congyue's house and asked Hu Jia and others to rush here to discuss the next plan.
Soon, several major generals arrived here on the harem. When Hu Jia arrived, Wu Gen received bad news.
Ji Yan is gone.
"As soon as you left, Ji Yan said she felt unwell and needed to rest. At night, the maid reported that she was missing. I sent people to look around, but they couldn't find her. She must have left Liangzhe Mountain." Hu Jia looked frustrated. Without Ji Yan, the Fearless Army would have one less means to fight against Ji Chen.
After all, Ji Xin's body was there, and Ji Ye hadn't rescued him. Whose name could he use to confront Ji Chen? According to the original plan, the Fearless Army was preparing to send troops under the banner of Ji Yan and in the name of fighting the rebellion. Now that the rightful owner is gone, wouldn't it mean that they have become a rebel? I just hope that Ji Xin can wake up soon and have a way to intimidate the Ji family's people.
"Send people to search again, Yang Zheng, activate the secret agents in Hanlu City to see if Ji Yan has run back." Wu Gen was also anxious. If something happened to Ji Yan, how would he explain to Ji Ye? Water comes from the moon...
Secretly glancing at Shui Congyue who was sitting on the chair, Wu Gen said loudly: "Let's ignore Ji Yan's affairs for now. Now that Ji Chen has taken charge of the Ji family for the first time, everything has not been sorted out. Our army just takes the opportunity to go to the north. I think, The whole army should prepare quickly to attack Nie Pi's troops with heavy troops and open the way to Hanlu City. In this battle, Shui Xiaowei will be the vanguard. All armies will advance together. They must be ruthless and fast to defeat Nie Pi's tribe in one fell swoop."
"What should I do with Ji Xin? He's not awake yet. What did Ji Zhen say? If he doesn't see Ji Xin, he probably won't turn towards us." Yang Zheng asked worriedly.
"Ignore him, stay here." Wu Gen waved his hand down, "You take Heiqi Sword to find Ji Zhen. When our army attacks the Niebi tribe, we must hold him back."
Seeing that Wu Gen had made up his mind, everyone took the order and started preparations separately. For a time, Liangzhe Mountain was filled with soldiers and horses, and grain-carrying vehicles were rushing out of the mountain.
On this day, Wu Gen was preparing to move to the right army camp at Chiyan Peak. Suddenly someone reported that Ji Xin woke up.
