Cheng Ling returned to Fengyaju and came to the residence of Bai Yu and Cui Yiyi. He unexpectedly found a middle-aged monk with a sharp face standing respectfully in the hall. Cui Yiyi was sitting in the middle, and Bai Yu was sitting on her right side. She seemed to be a subordinate of the former.
Seeing Cheng Ling turn around, Cui Yiyi did not get up, but nodded to him and said, "Brother Cheng, this is my father's disciple, named Cui Hong."
Cheng Ling swept his consciousness and saw that Cui Hongyue was at the Seven-Star Ghost King Realm, which was slightly better than Lotte. He nodded slightly and asked, "Are you also a member of the Cui family?"
Cui Hong frowned when he saw that he didn't greet him, but instead asked questions. However, for Cui Yiyi's sake, he still replied: "You can say yes, you can also say no."
"How to say?"
"I don't have the blood of the Cui family. After being taken in by the Chief, I was given the Cui surname. From then on, the Chief's orders have been our highest standards."
Cheng Ling understood. It seemed that this was the purpose of Cui Yiyi coming to Fengyaju. He wanted to use the power left by his father and Liufang to help him return to the Cui clan.
Seeing that the two of them got to know each other, Cui Yiyi explained: "Brother Cheng, in ten days, the Cui clan's ancestor worship ceremony will be held. At that time, it will be my last chance to return to the Cui clan. Therefore, I thought of using the treasure left by my father. strength."
Cheng Ling felt a little more comfortable now. It was impossible for Cui Huayi not to know the date of Cui's ancestor worship ceremony. But she had never explained it before. If she hadn't gotten the news from Baixiao Tower, she would have been kept in the dark until now.
Originally, Cui Yiyi was kind to him and it was his duty to help her return to the Cui family. But if everything was hidden, even if he would still help, the relationship between the two would end there. Got it!
The little girl, who is only eleven or twelve years old, has experienced a big change, and even her personality has become deeper. Although this kind of growth is good for controlling Cui, she will always feel uncomfortable. After all, the three of them have experienced life and death together. Through hardships, we always hope that we can be honest with each other.
It's fine now. Cui Yiyi has no intention of hiding it. In this case, I will help her plan carefully.
After a moment of silence, he asked: "How many people do you have in Fengyaju, and how are their cultivation levels?"
Cui Yiyi nodded slightly towards Cui Hong, indicating that it would be okay to tell Cheng Ling. The latter then said: "Fengya is in the middle. We have more than two hundred experts. In addition to those who must stay here, we can also dispatch one hundred and twenty meditation practitioners, all of whom are at the level of the Ghost King. "
"How many stars are they specifically?" Cheng Ling stared closely.
Cui Hong seemed a little impatient, but still said: "Among the more than a hundred monks, I have the highest cultivation level. The remaining 20 are in the six-star ghost king realm, the remaining 30 are in the four-star realm, and the rest range from one to five stars."
Cheng Ling nodded silently, such strength is already very good. He then asked Cui Huayi, "Huayi, what are you going to do?"
"After contacting Cui Hong, I was waiting for Brother Cheng to turn around. There are only ten days left for the ancestor worship ceremony. We must enter the secret realm of the ancestral land before it starts. Without further ado, let's set off now."
"Okay, let's go then!"
There is no public teleportation array from Fengya City to Youluo City. But Judge Cui had no plans left at that time and specially set up a one-way teleportation array in the center of Fengya. That is to say, you can go from Fengya City to Youluo City, but Youluo City cannot be teleported directly.
With a buzzing sound, it was time to drink tea, and the figures of Cheng Ling and others appeared in a dense forest.
Cui Yiyi looked around and said: "This place is very close to Youluo City. It only takes an hour to reach it. The function of the teleportation array is limited. It can only teleport up to twenty people at a time. Brother Cheng, let's wait here first!"
Cheng Ling nodded and asked, "What is the approximate strength of the third room of the Cui family?"
Cui Yiyi sighed and said: "Sanfang is very powerful, second only to his father. He has no less than 300 Ghost King Realm cultivators under his command. In addition, they have colluded with the two major forces, the Evil Ghost Division and the Shura Division. It’s even more unfathomable.”
"And they can definitely guess that I will definitely return to the clan before the ancestor worship ceremony begins. Therefore, even with this hidden force left by my father, the situation is not optimistic."
Cheng Ling took a deep breath. From this point of view, going to the land of the Cui clan was like going to the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. But whether it was to enhance his own strength or to regain control of the Cui family for Cui Yiyi, this trip was necessary.
Soon, more than a hundred monks led by Cui Hong also teleported over, and everyone was already prepared.
Bai Yu was dressed in a black outfit, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure and her heroic appearance. Coupled with her beautiful face as cold as ice, she had an astonishing beauty.
But Cui Yiyi is completely different from before. Although this eleven or twelve-year-old girl's face is as pale as ever, her expression is calm and her temperament is calm, making it difficult to tell what she is thinking in her heart.
This change occurred spontaneously after the Cui family's third room intercepted and killed many times to no avail. Even Cheng Ling sometimes had the illusion that he was not facing an innocent girl of eleven or twelve years old, but an adult whose city was as deep as a ravine.
And Cui Yiyi would only show a smile when facing him and Bai Yu. At other times, she was like a sculpture with no emotions or six desires.
"Let's go."
Cheng Ling looked at Bai Yu and then at Cui Yiyi. He said nothing more. He said everything in just two words.
The next moment, Bai Yu, Cui Yiyi, and more than a hundred monks followed him, heading towards Youluo City.
Youluo City!
The streets that used to be bustling and bustling are now extremely deserted. All the major shops, inns, and restaurants have closed down, and even the ghosts who always like to wander around seem to have evaporated.
Lines of elite guards were stationed in front of the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest. In front of each city gate, there were at least five Ghost King Realm powerhouses standing guard.
No entry is allowed, no exit is allowed.
To put it simply, it’s just two words--closure of the city!
Only outside the city could we see some figures, but they seemed to be accustomed to this and did not show any surprise or confusion.
The reason is simple, today is Cui’s annual ancestor worship day!
The Cui family is the pinnacle of power in the entire Netherworld. They control the Criminal Law Department of the Underworld, and their status is superior to that of the Six Daosi Department.
This Youluo City is the place where the Cui family made its fortune. It has been firmly controlled by the Cui family since ancient times. Nowadays, it is common for the entire city to be sealed off in order for the ancestor worship ceremony to proceed smoothly.
What's more, this ancestor worship ceremony is different from previous years. It is related to the succession of the Cui clan leader, and some bloody conflicts are more likely to break out. Therefore, this time, the Cui clan's defense force against Youluo City has also reached An unprecedented height.
It was almost noon, and the purple sun was in the sky, spreading a dim luster.
In front of the east gate of Youluo City.
Stationed here are the Cui family's guest elder Luo Yunhai and four other elders, all of whom are around the five-star ghost king realm. Near them, there was an elite guard of 500 people, taking turns replacing guards at the top and bottom of the city gate.
Not even a fly can fly into such a powerful formation, let alone one person.
"It seems that no accidents will happen, and the third elder can take over the position of patriarch with peace of mind."
Luo Yunhai was lying in a rocking chair in front of the city gate, squinting his eyes and said leisurely. He had a thin figure, a nose and hawk-like eyes. He seemed leisurely, but he had a strong and cold demeanor.
"Hehe, that's of course. In the entire Netherworld, who doesn't know that our Cui family's ancestor worship day will be in a few days. At this time, as long as they are not stupid, no one dares to come and cause trouble." Another strong man in the Ghost King Realm said said with a smile.
"It's better to be careful. If something goes wrong, none of us can afford it." Another person reminded softly.
"By the way, Brother Luo, I heard that at this ancestor worship ceremony, the third elder will operate on the fifth elder and completely suppress the fifth elder's lineage. Is it true or not?" Someone suddenly asked.
Luo Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "This is not certain. After all, it is well known that the fifth elder has always been at odds with the third elder and secretly supported the direct daughter left by the previous clan leader to inherit the position of the head of the family. This is a big mistake. A taboo for most Cui clan members.”
"What's the taboo?"
"Do you think a woman can take over the position of patriarch and control the criminal justice department of the underworld?"
Luo Yunhai asked back, and then sighed, "That's where the difference lies. I remember that girl was only eleven or twelve years old, but she had a special bloodline and a natural personality that matched the will of the Judgment. Because of this, she won the There is support from many elders.”
"Haha, she's just a yellow-haired girl. No matter how special her talent is, how can she compare to the three elders' talents?"
The others chuckled, and they all agreed.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Luo Yunhai couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that the little girl would never come back, and there was no point in comparing her.
Buzz!
At this moment, the void shook, and three figures appeared outside the east city gate.
A handsome young man in purple clothes, a cold woman in black robe, and a naive girl. Normally, seeing these three people would not attract much attention.
But at this time, there was no one outside the east city gate, and the appearance of these three people was extremely eye-catching, immediately alarming everyone in front of the city gate.
These three people are naturally Cheng Ling, Bai Yu and Cui Yiyi.
"Listen, you three, the city is closed today and leave immediately, otherwise we will kill you without mercy!"
On the city wall, a guard yelled loudly, even though they knew that all those who could teleport were strong ghost kings, as Cui's guards, they were not afraid at all.
Not to mention that there are five elders of the Cui family who are sitting under the city gate. Their identities alone are enough to frighten the other party and make them afraid.
Because they are from the Cui family.
It's that simple.
"Seal the city? That third elder is really a character. He has suffered repeated defeats and fought hard. He plans everything and never gives up."
Cheng Ling shook his head and walked straight towards the city gate with Bai Yu and Cui Yiyi.
"You bastards! Are you deaf? Leave now!"
A group of Cui's guards were agitated and shouted harshly.
Cheng Ling ignored this from beginning to end and walked toward the city gate.
