Gu Shitong seemed to be honest, and he had made a life-and-death deal with him before, so he never expected to arrange such a scam.
Xue Tong made a mistake and fell into a trap.
The soul power of the ghost clan is far superior to that of others, and Xue Tong's soul skills are not powerful enough to detect Gu Shidong's mental fluctuations. Although he is slightly worried, he still fell into the cunning plan of Chang Kui and Gu Shidong to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
…
"Those people were unharmed, but they were controlled by Deputy Territory Master Minluo and temporarily lost their freedom."
"Taoist Master cooperates with me. As soon as there are results, the subordinates will be released. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the lives of those people are in danger." Chang Kui said.
Subtle movements in the front hall reached Xue Tong's ears.
"Taoist Priest, you don't have to doubt it. Deputy Territory Lord Gan is at the level of heaven and human. Your subordinates are not as strong as the late Grandmaster." Chang Kui guessed Xue Tong's thoughts.
"What do you want Xue to do?"
Xue Tong had to suppress his anger temporarily. It was not difficult to kill Chang Kui, but Fan Ruhua and Xiao Yuer's life must be absolutely safe.
"I advise Hong Jing to only occupy Baozhou and Yanzhou; or take the life of King Hong Jing. If you do the same, it will be considered a success. The Taoist priest's subordinates will immediately regain their freedom, and all the ghost people in the valley will retreat."
"This condition is not too high," Chang Kui said.
"Bullshit, let Xue do it alone if the entire clan has not been able to do it for decades."
"Chang Mou firmly believes that Taoist Master Xue can succeed, and our clan will definitely entertain those friends until the Taoist Master returns home in triumph.
"Xue needs to meet someone first!"
"They have been taken away in batches. It is absolutely impossible for the Taoist priest to save them all."
"How did you know that Xue was coming to Aicheng?"
"Tong Ge is Li Bing's confidant. The Taoist priest came to the ghost world. Tong Ge reported to Li Bing first, and Li Bing then reported to the master and arranged to meet at Gu Shidong."
"The lives of Gu Shidong and his subordinates are all in the hands of this master, how dare you disobey!"
Xue Tong was out of breath, gritting his teeth and chanting: "Gu Shidong, Li Bing, Tong Ge..."
"There is no need to talk about these three Taoist priests. The master has arranged to go to Mingluo Territory. Taoist priests should try to finish their work and return to the human world as soon as possible." Chang Kui said.
…
The moment Xue Tong came out of the front hall and passed through the arch, Gu Shidong's subordinates were about to pass the message to the yard next door.
Minluo Deputy Territory Lord Gan Cong quickly walked into the hall with several people.
Fan Ruhua was surprised. The air around her suddenly solidified, and a hand suddenly appeared above her head.
Fan Ruhua's meridians froze. The magic power had not yet taken effect, and her shoulders were already being held down.
Huo Huang next to him also fell into the trap.
"Who dares to move!" Gan Cong shouted.
As soon as Xiao Yu'er's Huo Liao Sword popped out of the storage bracelet, the magic power in her meridians almost froze. Before the sword move could be activated, Gan Cong's subordinate, Ding Ding Guijun, snatched the sword away.
The Shuangyang sword that Guan Muqing thrust out was knocked down by another ghost king halfway.
Fan Ruhua rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, her body covered with thick ice.
Gan Cong shot out black ropes from his sleeves and tied up several people.
The incident happened so quickly, and the Dark Freezing Technique was so powerful that the thirteen people in Xuanling Dojo lost all possibility of resistance in a moment.
Facing heaven, humans and ghost cultivators, Fan Ruhua and others are still too far behind.
"Being honest and obedient will save your life. Take it away!"
Gan Cong waved his sleeves and ordered.
…
Behind Chang Kui, more and more ghost cultivators gathered.
"I'll try what you can do!"
Xue Tong spat out his sword tactics and used 80% of his sword power.
Xue Tong was pinched at the painful spot, but he must not shrink back and obey the advice. Chang Kui must be made to feel that there is a dead end if he really takes action, so that he does not dare to touch the hostage's hair.
There was a sudden darkness over the garden, sword clouds flew down, and the entire courtyard was filled with a sharp metallic aura.
Chang Kui recited the Hundred Ghosts Curse in a hurry.
Black light erupted all over the body, and the evil ghost in the formation jumped up, grabbing Jian Yun with its claws.
"Pfft, pfft...!"
The strings of evil spirits exploded, and blood and rotten flesh flew everywhere.
"boom!"
All the ghosts were destroyed, and the cone-shaped sword light protruding forward from the sword cloud was less than three feet away from Chang Kui.
Chang Kui swung his long fang stick and swiped violently.
The cone-shaped sword light broke, the Nine Palaces Sword Cloud trembled violently, and several thick cracks tore open a large mouth.
Chang Kui's black face was full of mist, and his strength had reached its limit.
In his early stage as a heavenly being, he was only slightly stronger than Gong Yangye. With the Hundred Ghost Formation and the earth-level second-grade mace, he could barely withstand one move from the sword formation.
Xue Tong flicked two fingers and fired out a three-inch cyan wind blade.
"Ding!"
The wind blade was as fast as a meteor, hitting the short fang stick.
Even the seemingly insignificant force of the wind blade is enough to knock Chang Kui's mace away like the last straw!
"It's easy for me to kill you. If my people suffer, I will cut off your hands and feet and roast you alive for a hundred years. None of your minions will survive!" Xue Tong shouted.
Chang Kui stood stunned, extremely frightened.
Xue Tong sealed the secret, Jiugong Jianyun reunited and rushed towards the backyard.
Fine gravel exploded into the sky.
The original location of the stone house has become a huge pit ten feet deep.
Amidst the crow of the vulture, Xue Tong took the vulture and submerged into the clouds.
…
Xue Tong jumped off the vulture's back and jumped out like an arrow.
The ghost patrol was attacked by Xue Tong and the Four Pets, and all of them died in an instant, with most of their remaining souls being sucked away by the Violent Ape Soul Beast.
Xue Tong's anger began to subside.
A few days later, they went deep into Yanzhou and blocked the Hongqing detachment.
"The Grandmaster of the Human Race"
The red-eyed ghost king was in a daze. Where could the human race come from in the hinterland of Tuoluo Territory?
"I am Xue Tong. I have met Gong Yangye before. Where is he?"
"There is no comment on Lord Gongyang's whereabouts. Let's go quickly!"
Xue Tong was two levels higher. The red-eyed ghost king did not dare to take action and could only persuade him to retreat.
"Hmph!" Xue Tong put on the Barbarian God's gloves and approached step by step.
Seeing the situation, the red-eyed army swarmed forward, throwing magical weapons like rain.
"Bang!"
The hill-like fist shadow blasted away the red-eyed magic weapon group.
Xue Tong's heavy punches were hard for even a ghost cultivator in the Heavenly Realm to withstand. The combined attack of two or three ghost kings and seven or eight ghost warriors from the Hongjing detachment was not a problem.
The red-eyed ghost king at the front vomited blood on the spot.
"Xue asked me again where Gong Yangye is!"
Xue Tong shouted with murderous intent.
"I haven't seen Lord Gongyang for a long time. Taoist priest, please go ask someone else," said Gui Hou, the most daring among the red-eyed army.
"Why are you being ostracized by the big red-eyed ghost on the second floor?"
Guihou shook his head, "Forgive me, Taoist Master, but we really don't know the inside details."
"Where's Tang Jinglong?" Xue Tong asked again.
"I have been promoted to heavenly being and am assisting Turun Ghost Lord."
Xue Tong was stunned and thought to himself: "Tang Jinglong took refuge in the stronger King of Red Eyes, and his own cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds."
Xue Tong muttered about the small meeting, "Chang Kui asked Xue to bring a message, Ruhongjing only occupies Yanzhou and Baozhou, Tuoluo Territory is willing to make peace, otherwise the war will continue, tens of thousands of casualties will be caused, and no one can win."
"Xue lives in the west valley and invites Tang Jinglong to be his guest!"
"Xue is his old friend, just give me my name!"
Tang Jinglong had more tricks than Gongyang Yewei, and he was promoted to a heavenly being, which made Xue Tong feel even heavier.
He had dealt with Tang Jinglong, and his impression was average. Especially when Tang drugged Zhu Lizhen, it showed that he was cruel and ruthless.
"Tang Jinglong respected me at that time, because he wanted something from me, not to mention the lack of force, so he had to show respect. Now Tang Jinglong will most likely take the opportunity to vent his grievances."
Xue Tong suffered a lot from Gu Shidong, and he did not believe that Tang Jinglong was a good person.
…
Yanzhou Ghost Valley, Xue Tong named the valley in front of him.
The ghostly wind blows in the Ghost Valley, and the ghostly atmosphere is overwhelming.
Xue Tong practiced silently, activated the Nightmare Bone True Demon Technique to suck in the evil yin energy, and used the characteristics of the ape's bloodline to condense the evil spirit into a gang and temper his body.
In both worlds of ghosts and demons, his physical growth was nearly five times faster than that of the human world.
Because the people in the dojo were detained, Xue Tong had no choice but to risk his life and wait in Gui Valley, regardless of Tang Jinglong's careful layout, and even came with the big red-eyed ghost named Tu Lun.
Half a month later.
Xue Tong heard the sound of the ghost carriage team.
A group of carriages, surrounded by a double lizard chariot, stopped at the entrance of Ghost Valley.
In the early days of the Salamander Master's career, Tang Jinglong's appearance was completely different from what it was back then.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, long time no see, congratulations!" Xue Tong greeted.
"Haha, fellow Taoist's growth is also amazing. Strictly speaking, you should call Tang a senior, but forget it, you should still refer to him as a peer."
Even a fool can hear Tang Jinglong's condescending and humiliating tone.
"Well, Xue will make a long story short."
Xue Tong pretended not to understand what he meant, and repeated Chang Kui's suggestions for peace talks.
"Fellow Taoist is too naive. The red-eyed soldiers and horses are strong. Master Turun is organizing more tribesmen. It won't take long to wipe out the Tuoluo Territory."
"Chang Kui wants to negotiate peace, unless he offers the five states." Tang Jinglong sarcastically said.
"Toluo's seven states have to give up to five states, and there is no possibility of negotiation with this price."
"That's your business. Tang Mou advises Fellow Daoist Xue to leave as soon as possible. This place is no longer the ghost world of the past. Don't think about interfering and benefiting everywhere."
Xue Tong sneered.
Things that cannot be achieved through negotiation can often be achieved through force, and Xue Tong knows this well.
"Since Xue has intervened, I would like to advise Hong Qing not to miss the opportunity, as it will cause a lot of trouble in the two states."
Tang Jinglong laughed heartily, his face suddenly covered with frost, "Taoist Master Xue means that if you are here, you will only lose if you have red eyes."
"That's exactly what Xue meant!"
Xue Tong's volume increased sharply, and the sound suppressed the ghost valley.
"Then I can't blame Tang!"
Tang Jinglong smiled strangely. He had strongly suggested Gong Yangye to kill Xue Tong back then, but now he was hugging Tu Lun's lap, and he didn't want to miss it.
The number of people he led, including Guangding Guijun, totaled five, accounting for half of the base camp.
"If Xue kills a few more ghosts, Chang Kui may be satisfied!"
Xue Tong had already planned to take action if he couldn't reach an agreement!
The moment he put his hand on Hun Tian Chu, his expression changed slightly.
Behind him, the warning sign at the end of the valley was triggered, and a ghost was running at an extremely fast speed.
"Lord Mohe is worried and has blocked the way back." Tang Jing Longkou recited the incantation and activated the ghost power.
Ten high-level ghost kings jumped out of the ghost carriage team.
Tang Jinglong's face had turned into a bloody ghost face.
"Well done!"
Xue Tongxuanming's ghost ax and Tianqing Moyan's swords slashed behind him, the Jiugong sword cloud flew forward, and the cloudy sky cracked the sun to bombard with all its strength.
A giant pillar of fire rose above the Ghost Valley.
The red-eyed ghost king formed a killing formation in ten directions, and the sword blades were as dense as rain, tearing Jiugong Yun into pieces.
The ten square formations exploded under Xue Tong's force bombardment, along with Tang Jinglong's Blood Python Yinhan Sword.
Xue Tong used all his strength to attack with his killing move, but was unexpectedly caught by the well-trained red-eyed Ten Ghosts.
"Bang!"
The Hell Ghost Ax did a somersault and flew out diagonally.
Xue Tong pinched it with five fingers, retracted the magic weapon with the Artifact Retracting Technique, kicked off the ground with both feet, and flew towards the slope of the valley.
Tang Jinglong led more than a hundred ghost cultivators. Xue Tong failed to hit a single blow and had no chance to follow up. If he did not escape at this time, it would be unthinkable to fall into a melee.
