Meng Zhang took a little risk and found out from Princess Chunyu the origin of the ghost and god who was monitoring Ouyang Jian and the others. Knowing that Emperor Bawu was also suspicious of Ouyang Jian and the others, he made arrangements in advance.
While chatting with Princess Chunyu, Meng Zhang told Shouzheng the news through the divine mark on his hand.
In Meng Zhang's view, with the official interference of the Dali Dynasty, no matter what Ouyang Jian and the others had planned, it would be difficult to succeed.
After Shouzheng was distracted and received the message from Meng Zhang, he was not at all happy, but his mood became solemn.
After a while, Shouzheng was distracted and summoned Meng Zhang again.
Ouyang Jian's plan is probably to seize a treasure. It is inevitable for me to keep this treasure. If the official monks or ghosts of the Dali Dynasty were involved, it would be hard to say the ownership of the treasure.
Meng Zhang was stunned by the message from Shouzheng, and then cursed in his mind.
No wonder Shouzheng insists on participating in this matter. It turns out that he is preparing to seize the food from the tiger's mouth and seize the treasure from Ouyang Jian and the others.
But if the official monks of the Dali Dynasty were involved in this matter, would it be difficult for him to handle it?
The Taiyi Sect is still a subordinate of the Dali Dynasty. How could Meng Zhang openly compete with the official monks of the Dali Dynasty for treasures.
Shouzheng, an old senior, now presented a huge problem to Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang chatted with Princess Chunyu and soon returned to the Requiem Inn.
After bidding farewell to Princess Chunyu, Meng Zhang returned to the small courtyard where he lived alone.
At this time, Meng Zhang could finally calm down and think about the whole thing carefully.
If it was just to destroy Ouyang Jian's plan and seize their treasures, then Meng Zhang would be happy to do so.
But now that the official power of the Dali Dynasty is also involved in this matter, the situation becomes complicated.
What the guard meant was that he had to seize the treasure, even if it meant going to war with the official monks of the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang didn't know what kind of treasure it was that made a powerful ghost like Shouzheng determined to obtain it.
Even what Shouzheng said may not be true. Until now, he is still hesitating, refusing to tell himself the whole truth.
Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Shouzheng doesn’t trust himself.
Before that, his words revealed that the other party had Tianji Master involved in it.
Meng Zhang is a Tianji Master himself, so of course he knows how terrifying the Tianji Master is.
If Shouzheng reveals more information to himself, Tianji division may discover anomalies during the deduction.
Meng Zhang has always had a very regretful thing, that is, after entering the Yuanshen stage, Tianji Technique has not made corresponding progress, and has always stayed at the stage of Tianji Master.
To this end, Meng Zhang thought of many ways. Not to mention daily homework such as reciting the Taoist scriptures and comprehending the Taoist canon, I put a huge amount of energy into it.
But for some reason, Meng Zhang, who had always been very successful in his cultivation, had problems when practicing Tianji Technique.
Without a breakthrough in the realm of Tianjishu, he would not be able to deduce people or things at the Yuan Shen level.
A Tianji master who can make Shouzheng feel threatened and have to be cautious in his work must be above the current Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang had only come into contact with a Tianji master in Gu Yue Huaidie before, but other than that, he had never seen a fellow Tianji master again.
This time he was willing to take a strange risk and follow Ouyang Jian and the others to the underworld. In addition to the requirement of being upright, a large part of the reason was that he wanted to meet the Tianji Master.
However, Ouyang Jian is a sword cultivator, Zhenjun Mo Qing is a demon cultivator, let alone Ouyang Huajin. These three people cannot be Tianji master, so who is this Tianji master and where is he located?
These questions cannot be answered by Meng Zhang alone.
Therefore, he could only put it aside for the time being and start thinking about the purpose of keeping upright.
Meng Zhang quickly made up his mind that no matter what, he could not have a head-on conflict with the official forces of the Dali Dynasty.
If it were to deal with Ouyang Jian and the others, he could attack with all his strength.
If the official monks of the Dali Dynasty take action, Meng Zhang can only avoid it temporarily and let Shouzheng take action. Even if Shouzheng was dissatisfied, Meng Zhang couldn't care less.
Meng Zhang, who had made up his mind, seemed to have completely forgotten his purpose.
In addition to staying in the inn, he wandered around the underworld city to experience the local customs and purchase some underworld specialties within his ability.
Princess Chunyu also has a mission and cannot always stay with Meng Zhang.
Many times, Meng Zhang goes out alone.
On the other side, Shouzheng was distracted and secretly monitoring Ouyang Jian's actions.
The ghost god Duan Ci and the human monks in Yindu City are also secretly monitoring Ouyang Jian and the others.
Of course, they didn't know that their actions would fall into Shouzheng's eyes.
On the fourth day after Meng Zhang arrived in Yindu City, Ouyang Jian and the others finally left Lehun Tower and began to take action.
Zhang Xingda, who had made an appointment with Ouyang Jian a long time ago, temporarily put aside everything in Yindu City, asked for leave from his immediate boss, and left Yindu City with Ouyang Jian and the others.
Outside Yindu City, there is an endless plain. The Great Plains are surrounded by the Devil's Crying Mountains in three directions.
After Ouyang Jian and the others left Yindu City, they flew directly to the north.
The ghost god Duan Ci of Yindu City and a human Yuanshen monk secretly followed behind and also left Yindu City.
Shouzheng hid his whereabouts and followed at the back.
Shouzheng sent a message to Meng Zhang through the divine mark, asking him to leave Yindu City immediately.
There are restrictions on the gates and walls of Yindu City, and there are also special Yin soldiers and Yin generals to guard them.
Ouyang Jian and the others were accompanied by Zhang Xingda, the ghost god of Yindu City, so they could leave easily.
Both groups of followers hid their whereabouts and left Yindu City without anyone noticing.
Yindu City is usually heavily guarded, and it is not easy for ghosts in the city to enter and exit the city gates.
Fortunately, there were many cultivators from the Yang world during this period, and many of them needed to leave the Yin capital and go to the Devil May Cry Mountains.
Therefore, Yindu City officials relaxed their controls.
These cultivators can leave Yindu City as long as they explain their origins, prove their identity, and state their purpose of leaving the city.
Even so, when Meng Zhang left Yindu City, he still delayed a little time to deal with the interrogation of Yin soldiers and generals.
Fortunately, the delay was short-lived and did not delay any major events.
After leaving Yindu City, Meng Zhang flew in the direction they left through the guidance of the divine mark.
Meng Zhang had never thought that after leaving Yindu City, he would fly continuously for more than half a month, with almost no time to rest.
Not only did he stay away from Yindu City, he also left the great plain outside the city and entered the Devil's Crying Mountains.
As we slowly go deeper into the Devil May Cry Mountains, various powerful ghosts begin to appear on the road.
On the great plain outside Yindu City, although there are occasional ghosts wandering around, these ghosts are not many in number and not strong.
This is because the ghosts and gods in Yindu City will regularly lead their Yin soldiers and generals to clean up the plains outside the city on a large scale.
The original ghosts were either destroyed or expelled.
Therefore, there will not be too many ghosts gathered on the plain outside Yindu City, nor will there be any powerful ghosts.
But Devil May Cry Mountains is outside the jurisdiction of Yindu City.
The deeper you go into the Devil May Cry Mountains, the weaker Yindu City’s control there becomes.
Once you reach the depths of the Ghost Body Mountains, the Yin Capital City is completely out of reach.
In fact, based on the information learned during the chat with Princess Chunyu during this period.
Meng Zhang knew that there were many powerful ghosts deep in the Devil May Cry Mountains. Even ordinary ghosts and gods can't do anything to these ghosts.
There have been several large-scale explorations of the Devil May Cry Mountains in Yindu City, but they did not go very smoothly.
After several setbacks with heavy casualties, Yindu City temporarily gave up exploring the Devil May Cry Mountains.
Yindu City is slowly accumulating strength. When it has enough strength, it may restart the exploration of the Devil May Cry Mountains.
The mountains of Devil May Cry are vast and boundless. The scope of the mountainous area almost exceeds the entire Jiuqu Province.
This is only the scope of what Yindu City knows. Outside this range, the ghosts and gods in Yindu City know nothing about it.
Meng Zhang moved forward according to the guidance of the divine mark, and encountered many powerful ghosts on the way forward.
These ghosts not only have powerful individuals, but also have many powerful groups of ghosts.
Three groups of people had passed before Meng Zhang.
The two groups behind them had hidden their figures and might not have been noticed by these ghosts.
But Ouyang Jian and his party were going forward like this, and they would inevitably run into ghosts.
The ghosts on this road were actually cleaned up by them.
Of course, the purpose of their trip was not to clean up ghosts. So their cleaning process seemed very rough.
They don't insist on destroying the ghosts, as long as they drive them away and open a safe passage, that's it. During this process, many ghosts were easily eliminated.
After they leave, the expelled ghosts may return to their original locations again.
Meng Zhang followed at the back and now encountered these ghosts.
There are many kinds of ghosts. In addition to common ghosts such as ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, there are also ghost beasts.
In the world of cultivation, many people classify ghost beasts as ghosts and think that they are a special kind of ghosts.
But there are also many people who believe that ghost beasts have special shapes and are not completely ghosts, but have some characteristics of living creatures.
Meng Zhang didn't care about these classifications, he just cared about how to expel the ghost beasts blocking his way as quickly as possible.
When Meng Zhang went to the capital, he did not purchase talismans or magic weapons specifically designed to deal with ghosts.
His main training back then was martial arts. he
Proficient in the Sun and Moon Avenue, you can harness the power of the sun and moon.
For ghosts, the power from the sun is simply their natural nemesis.
Whenever he finds a ghost blocking the road, Meng Zhang directly releases the true sun fire.
The extremely hot true fire of the sun, carrying almost endless light and heat, descended on the piles of ghosts and directly turned them into ashes.
Those ghost beasts have slightly higher resistance to the true fire of the sun due to their special physiques. Meng Zhang needs to spend a little more time and a little more hands and feet to kill them.
Along the way, Meng Zhang encountered many obstacles. In addition to ghosts and beasts, there were also some natural dangers.
The Devil May Cry Mountains are so named because ghost cries of unknown origin often sound in the mountains.
These ghost cries can easily shake the minds of cultivators and make their souls tremble.
These ghostly cries come in bursts, almost everywhere.
The power of ghost cries that appear in different places and at different times is also very different.
There are some dangerous places in the Devil May Cry Mountains because special ghost cries often sound here.
This kind of ghost cry is particularly powerful, far exceeding the ordinary ghost cry. Even the True Lord of Yuanshen will be trembled, lose his mind, or even be completely lost after hearing this.
Meng Zhang is the type of monk who has a solid Taoist heart and a firm will. Among the True Lords of Yuanshen, they are all considered outstanding.
But a few times, when he passed through certain areas, he was faced with the sudden sound of ghost cries, and his heart immediately became alarmed.
Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran away, far away from the range where the ghost cry could be heard.
Even if he was just lightly swept by the aftermath of the ghost cry, he felt that his soul was beating non-stop, and he felt like he was about to burst out of his body.
Whenever this happens, Meng Zhang can only secretly cry out that he is unlucky.
These ghost cries are not always like this, but after a period of time, they will stop for a while.
After Meng Zhang entered the Devil May Cry Mountains, he slowly figured out some rules.
He would wait in the distance for a while, until the ghost cries weakened or even disappeared completely, before he would pass by this place again.
But as a result, his progress inevitably slowed down.
Sometimes, the ghost crying in front never disappears, but continues.
Meng Zhang had no choice but to take a detour.
Anyway, with the guidance of the divine mark, the general direction of progress will not be wrong.
Meng Zhang was very confused in his heart, how the three groups in front of them passed through these dangerous places safely without much delay in their journey.
On the way forward, Meng Zhang also encountered the Ghost King twice.
As the king of ghosts, the Ghost King often has considerable wisdom and is not a completely irrational creature like low-level ghosts.
After they fought against Meng Zhang, Meng Zhang showed great fighting power. Knowing that they were outmatched, they retreated voluntarily.
Meng Zhang, who had important matters at hand, had no time to chase them.
However, Meng Zhang once met the Ghost Beast King.
This grotesque beast seemed not to have a very bright mind. Even though it had fully seen Meng Zhang's strength and suffered a lot, it still refused to retreat.
The more Meng Zhang caused harm to it, the angrier it became, and it rushed towards Meng Zhang crazily, with a desperate attitude.
Since he couldn't simply expel the opponent, Meng Zhang had no choice but to be patient and slowly fight against the ghost beast king.
In the end, Meng Zhang used the Jinghong Sword to cut the ghost beast king into eight pieces, and used the divine light of the sun and moon to melt away its soul, finally ending the battle.
He didn't even have time to carefully count the loot. He immediately put away the mutilated body of the Ghost Beast King and continued moving forward without stopping.
