After Tian Xiaoding used the trapping formation to trap the ghost tribesmen, he soon caught up with Ah Li.
Ahri suggested to Xiao Ding through a message transmission that he first kill the five ghost warriors carrying the demon princess and the maid, and save the demon princess and others, so that he would have a few more helpers on his side.
However, after Xiaoding thought for a moment, he immediately rejected Ahri's suggestion. His main concern was that even if they could find Netherworld City by walking in this direction, they were still unfamiliar with the situation inside Netherworld City and had no idea where Ouyang Qing was being held.
However, if these five ghost warriors are not killed, they will definitely send the demon princess and others to the ghost king they mentioned. Therefore, as long as they keep tracking a few of them, they can find the ghost king's residence. Ouyang Qing was most likely imprisoned with the Ghost King.
After listening to Xiao Ding's explanation, Ah Li felt that it made sense, and said, "Okay, Brother Tian, then I'll listen to you. We just have to follow them."
The two followed the five ghost warriors for another journey, but Xiao Ding was unable to determine how much time had passed.
This is because, in the Nether Realm, except for the active ghost tribe and certain animals and insects, everything else is stationary, and there is no distinction between day and night. The dim moon in the sky hangs in the middle of the sky. like a statue. It is impossible to judge the specific time just by observing the surrounding environment.
When Xiao Ding and Ah Li saw a dark city appearing in the distance ahead, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If your guess is correct, the city in front of you should be the Netherworld City.
Outside Netherworld City, many villages of ghost tribesmen appeared in a large area. This added a lot of popularity to the already lifeless Netherworld. Uh--, to be precise, it should be ghost energy. After all, in the true sense, the ghost people are not really human beings, but ghosts.
There are no human fireworks in the villages of the ghost tribe. Although they can also eat, they do not need to make fires to cook like humans. If there is something edible, they can just eat it raw. There is nothing edible, and they will not die without eating or drinking. On the contrary, they are very afraid of fire, sunlight and other yang things.
However, if they have sucked human blood or animal blood, they will no longer be afraid of these supreme beings for the time being.
When Xiao Ding flew over the villages of these ghost tribesmen, he found that the ghosts in these villages were all doing nothing. Either they were practicing in the houses where they lived, or they were floating around on the streets outside.
In fact, it's no wonder that if the ghost people don't want to leave the Nether Realm and go to the human world, then they don't need to go out to capture humans or demons, or go out to hunt wild beasts. They can still live in the Nether Realm without eating or drinking, so naturally they don't have to expend too much energy on food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Therefore, they have a lot of time to practice.
What Xiao Ding doesn't know is that all the ghost tribe members are actually soldiers. Their daily life is mainly about practicing. If there is a mission, ordinary low-level ghosts will obey the orders of their superiors and carry out the mission.
Therefore, the cultivation level of the ghost clan members is also divided according to the official level. For example, those with the lowest cultivation level are ghost soldiers, those with higher levels are called ghost soldiers, and those with higher levels are called ghost generals, ghost commanders, and ghost kings. , Ghost King, Ghost Emperor, Ghost Lord, Pseudo Shura...
In the Nether Realm on Tiankun Star, the ghost people can cultivate up to the pseudo-Shura realm, which is equivalent to the transformation stage of human monks. If you can break through the realm of pseudo-Shura Dzogchen and go one step further, you will reach the level of ghosts and immortals, and you will directly ascend to the netherworld, or go to the fairy world, or the devil world.
Of course, most ghost cultivators will ascend to the Netherworld when they reach the point of ascension.
Unlike ordinary ghosts who go to the Netherworld to reincarnate, ghosts and immortals actually go to the Netherworld to serve. Even if they don't get any positions in the Netherworld, they will become members of the ghost army in the Netherworld and work for the benefit of the entire Netherworld.
There is also a very small probability that the ghost tribe members will ascend to the fairy world or the demon world when they ascend.
Among the three realms, the fairy world is mainly dominated by human immortals, and the number of ghost immortals and demon immortals is very small. In the demon world, the demons are the main body, and there are also very few human immortals and ghost immortals. On the contrary, the Nether World is full of ghosts, and there are basically no humans or demons.
Just like the Netherworld where Xiao Ding is now. There are also no humans or demons living here.
The Nether Realm is just the first stop for souls on their way to the Nether World for reincarnation after death. There is a passage to the Netherworld here.
Here, human souls have two choices. They can either go through the passage to the Netherworld and be reincarnated. Of course, they may also be sent to the eighteenth level of hell. Either stay here and be a ghost forever, become a member of the ghost tribe, embark on the path of cultivation, and hope that one day you can become a ghost immortal, and you will no longer be afraid of appearing in the human world.
Most of the little ghosts in the ghost villages that Xiao Ding passed by were ghosts who had just arrived in the Nether Realm. Some of them had just started practicing, and some had not even practiced yet. Therefore, they were arranged to live in the village.
When these little ghosts reach a certain level of cultivation, they will become members of the ghost tribe's army and obey the orders of their superiors. Usually, as long as they reach the level of ghost soldiers, they will be assigned to serve as soldiers in the ghost tribe's army.
The ghost people, like humans and demons, all hope to occupy more resources and speed up their cultivation. They don't want to stay in this dark world all day long.
Therefore, they will often go out to cause trouble, rob the resources of demons and humans, and even invade the territories of demons and humans on a large scale.
However, the ghost people are naturally afraid of the sun, so even if they go to the human world for activities, most of them choose to go at night. Resources are scarce on Xuewangzhou. Even if they want to suck the blood of wild beasts to resist the sunlight during the day, there are not that many wild beasts on Xuewangzhou for them to capture.
The demons on Xuewangzhou are not easy to mess with either. They are always on guard against the invasion of the ghosts. Of course it's not that easy to catch.
For the ghost people, human blood is the best, but humans live in the distant Huaxuan Continent and Fengluan Continent. Even though there is a passage to the human continent in the Nether Realm, there are some restrictions on this passage. This restriction only applies to the ghost tribe. If they go to the human continent from this passage, their cultivation will have to reach at least a major level. In other words, if someone was in the Ghost General realm before, after walking through this passage once, his cultivation level will immediately drop to the Ghost Warrior level.
Moreover, this is only for the minimum landing. Some people have fallen a lot. Even if they fall to two major realms, it is not impossible.
The ghost tribe's villages are gathered around the city for the convenience of entering the city.
Although they usually don't need resources such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, they still need some cultivation resources.
Therefore, when Xiao Ding and Ah Li quietly followed the five ghost warriors into Nether City, Xiao Ding saw various shops on both sides of the streets and alleys in Nether City.
What these shops sell are basically various resources used for the cultivation of the ghost tribe. These include: various low-level techniques commonly used by ghost tribe members, spiritual plants, elixirs, ghost weapons, etc. used for ghost cultivation.
The currency circulated by the ghost tribe is not spirit stones, but ghost coins.
Seeing the ghost coins used for trading in the hands of the ghost tribe, Xiao Ding couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that burning paper for the dead is really giving money to the ghosts!
Since the ordinary ghost tribesmen on the street had very low cultivation levels, they did not notice Tian Xiaoding and Ah Li who had already used invisibility and concealment techniques.
The Nether City is not like a human city. There are special restrictions placed in the city, making it impossible to fly.
This may be related to the way the ghosts move, because they usually float at low altitudes even if they are not flying above.
Therefore, the five ghost warriors carried the demon princess and four maids, and after passing the routine inspection at the city gate, they immediately flew into the air and flew towards the city.
The ghost tribesmen who were responsible for guarding and inspecting the city gate were also in the realm of ghost warriors. They did not notice Xiaoding and Ah Li sneaking into the city.
The two followed the five ghost warriors and flew all the way to the center of the city. From a distance, they saw the five ghost warriors landing in front of a huge mansion.
Xiao Ding looked intently at the plaque above the door of the mansion, and saw the words "Evil Tiger Ghost King's Mansion" written on it.
The entire sky above the Ghost King's Mansion was shrouded in a thick layer of black air. Xiao Ding and Ah Li didn't dare to get too close. They were afraid that the ghost king would discover their whereabouts due to his advanced cultivation.
You must know that ghost cultivators in the ghost king realm are equivalent to the level of human virtual god phase monks, which is a higher realm than the Nascent Soul phase.
With such a high level of cultivation, he only needs to let go of his spiritual consciousness to explore, and it is estimated that the entire Netherworld City may be covered by his spiritual consciousness.
Therefore, Xiao Ding and Ah Li did not dare to make any noise.
In addition, since this Nether City is the largest city in the Nether Realm, Xiao Ding also suspects that there may be more than one evil tiger ghost king among the high-level ghost cultivators in the city. Perhaps there are ghost cultivators of higher realms who are also unknown.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Xiao Ding and Ah Li did not dare to act rashly.
From a distance, they saw five ghost warriors carrying the demon princess and four maids into the Evil Tiger Ghost King's Mansion, and then quietly flew towards a remote location in the city.
"Brother Tian, I feel a very powerful aura in the Ghost King's Mansion!" Ah Li said nervously. With her cultivation as a sixth-level spiritual beast, she could feel the dangerous aura, which meant that there must be ghost cultivators more powerful than her in the Ghost King's Mansion.
Some people died, but not completely...
