"Brother Yeyu, how are you thinking?" Lin Xue asked.
"I still can't join the Fengshen Guard. I am a human race and cannot be an enemy of the human race. You also know that my wife and children are both human races. If one day the humans find out that I have joined the Fengshen Guard, their fate can be imagined." I said. This is my decision after careful consideration. I cannot put Wen Yan and my children in a dangerous situation in order to improve my own strength. There is no airtight wall in the Netherworld. Even if there is a little bit of news from the demon clan that I joined the Fengshen Guard, Wen Yan and the child might be implicated.
"Haha, Brother Yeyu is indeed affectionate and righteous! But you should know that after practicing "Qinglong Jue", without the blessing of the essence and blood of the divine beast, your skills will be like useless. The more you practice, the worse your skills will be. Weak. You are different from us who are born as quasi-divine beasts. We are originally divine beasts, and the essence and blood of other divine beasts are completely useless to us." Lin Xue said with a sweet smile.
Lin Xue is right. Without the essence and blood of the divine beast, my fourth-level divine beast form of "Blue Dragon Art" cannot exert its power at all. If I hadn't absorbed the essence and blood of the Crocodile God, there would be no use for the form of the divine beast. The "Qinglong Jue" technique would be completely useless without the blessing of the essence and blood of the divine beast. Lin Xue seems to have blocked my lifeline now. She knows what I need most right now. But if I agree to her, how should I face Wen Yan, my children, and those human friends in the future? How should I choose?
Half a month later, the three of us arrived at the Black Dragon Castle, the territory of the demon tribe. I heard from Lin Xue that a black dragon once occupied this place ten thousand years ago, so it was named Black Dragon Castle. Now Black Dragon Castle is the territory of the Demonic Spirit Snake Tribe.
In the evening, the leader of the Spirit Snake Tribe held a banquet for Lin Xue to receive the wind, and Lin Xue invited me to attend.
"Lin Xue, they invited you, and I don't know them, so I won't go." I said.
"Brother Ye Yu, you must participate this time. There is someone I want to introduce to you, and she is a beauty!" Lin Xue said with a meaningful smile.
"Whether she is beautiful or not has nothing to do with me. I won't go anyway." I said coldly.
"Are you really not going?" Lin Xue asked seriously.
"No!" I insisted.
Seeing how determined I was, Lin Xue said angrily: "I really don't understand good people's hearts! If I don't go, I won't go."
After Lin Xue left, I sat down and practiced quietly by myself, absorbing bit by bit the power of the netherworld that I had not fully digested during the Tribulation. Currently, my realm is stable at the mid-level of the Ghost King's first level. If I want to go further, I will need more. It's time.
Early the next morning, I was practicing when I suddenly heard a loud noise. I hurriedly ran outside the house and saw a girl about twenty years old, with silver hair flying in her head, smoke in her eyes, a well-proportioned figure and a smart leather outfit. I immediately thought of what Lin Xue said. beauty. Before I could say anything, the girl suddenly asked: "Are you the captain the young master mentioned?"
"Captain? What captain?" I was confused for a moment and had no idea what she was talking about. Lin Xue never said he wanted me to be the captain?
"You don't have to quibble. Since the young master said you are the captain of the Fengshen Guard, then you are. My name is Bai Xin, and I am a member of the Fengshen Guards. Today I want to experience the power of the captain!" the girl said, her face full of dissatisfaction at the moment. .
"Miss Bai Xin, I am really not the captain of the Fengshen Guard. I am not even the Fengshen Guard. Lin Mo once invited me to join the Fengshen Guard, but I refused, so I am really not the captain of the Fengshen Guard as you said." I tried my best to explain.
"What? Brother Lin Mo invited you to join the Fengshen Guard? You still refused?" Bai Xin asked with surprise on her face.
"Yeah, so I'm not even a Fengshenwei. Miss Bai Xin, I think you were deceived by Lin Xue." I continued to explain.
Bai Xin said impatiently: "I don't care if you are a Fengshenwei or not, I want to compete with you anyway!"
"Miss Bai Xin, I have no enmity with you, why do we have to compete?" I said helplessly.
"I don't care about that. Anyway, the young master told me that as long as I beat you, I can be the captain!" Bai Xin said with excitement on her face.
At this moment, Lin Xue came, and she said lazily: "Why haven't you started fighting yet? I'm still waiting to see the good show?"
Bai Xin immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely defeat him."
Lin Xue said with a half-smile: "Lin Mo has suffered losses at his hands, so you must not take it lightly."
"What? Brother Lin Mo didn't even defeat him?" Bai Xin looked in disbelief. In her eyes, Lin Mo was outstanding among the captains of the Fengshen Guard. Except for a few senior captains who could barely defeat Lin Mo. , some other captains are no match for Lin Mo.
I thought to myself that it was indeed Lin Xue who was responsible. I asked, "Lin Xue, what's going on? Why did you let Bai Xin pick me to fight?"
"Brother Ye Yu, it's very simple. If you defeat Bai Xin, you will be the captain of the Fengshen Guard. If you fail, you will be Bai Xin's team member from now on, and Bai Xin will be your captain." Lin Xue said.
"Lin Xue, I haven't agreed to join the Fengshen Guard yet!" I said angrily.
"Brother Ye Yu, you don't need to agree. You can also rest assured that I will not let you deal with the human race. Let you join the Fengshen Guard because there are other things that need you, otherwise I will not go to all the trouble to capture you. ." Lin Xue said sincerely.
"Don't you need me to deal with the human race? Do the demon clan have other enemies besides the human race?" I asked in confusion.
"Brother Ye Yu, you know too little about the Netherworld. Once upon a time, our demon race fought side by side with the human race. Although there have been some minor grievances over the years, it was just a small fight, and the two sides never had any injuries. As for the war between the human and demon clans in Mass Burial City, it was just an atmosphere deliberately created to select the talents of the two clans." Lin Xue said lightly.
Lin Xue's words set off huge waves in my heart. The tragedy of the Mass Burial City is still before my eyes. Is the war between the human and demon tribes in the Mass Burial City just an atmosphere created by the top management of the human and demon tribes? And those dead monsters and humans are just their pawns, and their purpose is only to select talents who can be created. I suddenly felt that life was insignificant. In the eyes of the top leaders of the two tribes, the human and demon tribes in the realm of ghosts and generals were like ants, worthless. And I was once one of those ants. I should be lucky to be alive. Come down.
"I want to know, how did you find out that I was still alive?" I asked suddenly.
Lin Xue suddenly laughed and said: "It's very simple, because it was the elders of Tianjian Sect who told me that this is a deal between us and Tianjian Sect. Brother Ye Yu, now you understand!"
I didn't expect that Tianjian Sect sold me out, but I saved the two elders of Tianjian Sect. I felt like I was deceived again. Now that I think about it, even if I didn't say anything to save the lives of the two Tianjian Sect elders, Lin Xue probably wouldn't kill them. The water in the Netherworld is so deep that outsiders like me seem to be playthings in their hands, with no control over life or death. Everywhere I went, I was a pawn in their hands.
