Chapter 475: City of the Dead
As the saying goes, face is the most important thing in the world. Xiao Ye just lost their face and now he went back to them to ask for identification. Even if he thought about it, it would be impossible.
If the other party doesn't think of ways to trick him, it's already considered good. How could he still help him?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ye didn't think of a good solution.
…
In the city.
Located in the center, in the largest mansion in the city, there are two figures talking.
Just when Xiao Ye entered the River of the Dead and alerted the beings in the whirlpool, the two people who were talking in the mansion stood up at the same time and looked in the direction of the River of the Dead.
"Is there a demon sneaking in? He deserves to be killed!" One of them frowned and his voice was cold.
"It doesn't look like the movement, but it does look similar." Another person was a little confused.
"This situation in the River of the Dead is nothing more than a demon sneaking in. Why is your statement so inconsistent?" The person who spoke at the beginning did not know the situation in the River of the Dead and only heard it from hearsay.
"Alas, brother, I don't know about the River of the Dead. It's not like what you heard, but there are some major secrets involved in it. I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Haha, I know this very well. Each of the nine regions and sixteen cities has its own secret. No one knows what the secret is except the city lord, and the city lord cannot reveal this secret to others. The relationship between the two of us is Although it's good, I also know that you can't talk about this matter." The person from before said.
"Thank you for your understanding, brother!" The man looked grateful.
The two stopped mentioning the matter and began to change the subject.
This matter involves a major secret that cannot be revealed at will. Let alone close friends, not even the person next to you can tell it.
"This is tea made from the water I brought back from the holy pool in the human world. The taste of the brewed tea is unique in the world, come and taste it!"
…
The gate of the city was locked. Xiao Ye glanced at the sky, but he couldn't tell what time it was and whether it was night.
If it was night time, according to regulations, Xiao Ye's condition was considered normal.
You can't go out at night, and there is nothing wrong with the city gates being closed.
But why are there such strange regulations?
Could it be that something terrible happened at night?
Suddenly, a sharp scream sounded from a certain direction, attracting Xiao Ye's attention.
The owner of this voice seemed to be undergoing some kind of torture, which was very heart-wrenching to hear.
The direction the sound came from was not the direction of the river, but the mist at the end on Xiao Ye's right.
Xiao Ye pressed against the wall and slowly moved towards the source of the sound.
The sound became clearer and clearer. After walking for a few minutes, Xiao Ye saw what the scream was.
Not far ahead, I saw a huge oil pan half a man tall, with a raging fire burning under the oil pan.
In the oil pan, a long black knife was being fried hot.
The scream came from the edge of that knife.
At this scene, even the well-informed Xiao Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
What's even weirder is that although the long black knife screamed, from the way it hovered motionless in the oil pan, Xiao Ye always felt that it seemed to be enjoying it all.
"Boy, have you seen enough?" At this moment, Chang Dao stopped screaming and said in the direction of Xiao Ye.
"Are you talking about me?" Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then felt a little uncomfortable.
He pretended to be someone else, but his own soul talent was limited and could not be used unless he actively activated and maintained it, but that would consume too much power of the soul.
Entering this world, he was discovered by the extradited people and the existence in the whirlpool because of this, and now he has another knife!
"Is there anyone else here besides us?" The long knife jumped out of the oil pan and came to Xiao Ye.
"No humans have come here for a long time. Ever since that kid announced that no one is allowed to go out at night, I haven't seen anyone else for a long time."
"ten years?"
"Twenty years?"
"It seems like fifty years!"
It shook the blade up and down and said doubtfully: "I can't remember the specific time."
"Are you new here?"
Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Being here means that you were an out-and-out bad person when you were alive, but I don't think you look like a bad person. It's really strange. Could it be that I haven't been out for too long and the outside has changed?"
Hearing its words, Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat. He had felt something was wrong before, but he couldn't explain it clearly, but now he seemed to have a clue.
This shouldn't be a place where normal dead souls should go.
So what was the identity of the guy he replaced?
After he died, he was actually brought here by the extraditers.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway, why should I worry about it when I'm just eating carrots!" With that said, it flew back into the oil pan.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ye didn't understand.
"You're being punished, don't you see?" Chang Dao said lazily.
Xiao Ye's mouth twitched. He didn't feel the emotion of being punished from Chang Dao. Instead, he felt that the other party was enjoying it.
It feels like taking a hot bath.
"Then why were you punished?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.
"It seems like it's because of something. I can't quite place it clearly. Forget it, I'll let you take a look."
Suddenly, a sword intent came towards Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye frowned and did not avoid it.
There was a blur in front of his eyes, and Xiao Ye's consciousness seemed to have come to a certain place.
A surging river flows from a distance, and there seem to be countless dead souls wailing in the rolling river water.
Xiao Ye looked down and found that his body was in emptiness, and the scene around him was incompatible with him.
He is like an outsider and does not belong to this world.
He looked around and realized that this was not a world, but a memory scene belonging to the black sword.
Xiao Ye is an outsider. He can only see everything from a third party's perspective and cannot change anything.
Xiao Ye raised his eyes and saw that very close to the road, countless demons and the dead were fighting against each other. Neither side made a move, but the corpses all around explained how tragic the war had been.
"If you don't leave the underworld, you will die here today!" A demon roared.
"Fight if you want. What nonsense, Huangquan belongs to humans, you can't even think about occupying it!" A man in front of the dead human said coldly.
In his hand, he held a jet black long knife.
It was the long knife that was punished in the frying pan!
The two sides could not reach an agreement, and they got into a scuffle again, and soon there were many more bodies around.
Xiao Ye observed them carefully and frowned unconsciously because he found something was wrong with these monsters.
He has dealt with many demons and has used this kind of power. There are also demonic powers in the current sea of consciousness. If the power used by humans is orderly, then the power used by demons is chaotic. of.
But what he saw in this monster was an orderly power. This kind of power did not belong to the monster at all.
But the demonic aura exuding from their bodies showed their identities.
When the battle was at its most intense, almost all the dead on the human side had fallen, leaving only the man with the long sword in his hand.
All the demons swarmed up and surrounded and killed this man with all their strength.
But this man was not easy to kill.
The long black knife in his hand seemed to possess great power.
With one strike of the knife, a huge sword light emerged, clearing the entire body.
In front of this powerful sword light, the besieging demons had no time to react and were cleared away in an instant.
But there are too many monsters. After killing one group, the next group will come up immediately, densely packed. They know that the human in front of them is very strong. No monster can be his opponent in a single fight. If they want to kill him, only humans can kill him. Naval tactics go to the pile!
He didn't know how much time had passed before he thrust the long knife into the ground and staggered to the side, with no enemies around him.
"Is this the price of using Wu Sheng?" The man had an abnormally pale look on his face and said to the long knife in an unusually weak voice.
"To be honest, this move is quite awesome, but the cost is a bit high."
There was no enemy around him.
"I warned you not to use this move, but you just didn't listen. It's better now. I have to find the master again." The long knife buzzed.
"Even if you don't use that move, you can leave safely. Now it's better. Although all these demons have been eliminated, you can't survive. The source of your soul has been exhausted, and you don't even have the chance to be resurrected in hell. .”
The man lay on the mountain of corpses and said nonchalantly: "I think it's worth it. As for the other things, I really haven't thought about it. I can't do anything vigorously in the human world. After becoming the dead, I can finally do something vigorously." It’s time.”
"It's such a joy!"
The blade of the long black knife trembled, but in the end he said nothing.
"By the way. There's one more thing I almost forgot." Suddenly, the man stood up with a slap on his head and pulled out the long knife stuck on the ground.
"What do you want to do?" The black long knife felt something was wrong.
"The gap leading to the demon world has not been completely closed. As long as it exists for one day, the demons will invade this place. While I still have some strength, I will completely resolve this matter." The man said calmly?
"What exactly do you want to do?" The voice of the black sword was trembling.
The man didn't speak. The next moment, an extremely huge sword light struck towards Wangchuan.
"I will divert the water from the River of Forgetfulness and block the gap. Only in this way will this disaster be completely ended!"
"You're crazy!"
