Chapter 138: Yin Capital
During this period of time, Xiaomanzhan has secretly become the fragrant bait that everyone is looking for. Although Emperor Xuantian lied that the destruction of Xuantian City was due to the unrest of the alien race, he did not tell everyone the true situation, which explained the destruction of Xuantian City, and secondly, explained why there were so many human-like monsters in Xuantian City that day. But there is no shortage of people who know the real situation at that time.
In this way, the news leaked secretly, and after the investigation of the people with a heart, it was found that the man who broke through the void that day did not appear in history, but was similar to the mythical abolished prince, which greatly increased people's curiosity about the small barbarian war. Under the investigation, it was found that he turned out to be Yunchuan's Demon Boy of Slaughter Town, and at the same time, he also killed the master of the Qingfeng Sect who was a Void Immortal at the Ten Thousand Gods' Meeting, and not only did he not die after making these earth-shattering events, but he even made trouble in Xuantian City.
"It's impossible! Didn't you say that you killed the demon boy at the beginning? And it is said that at that time, the Dragon City Lord was personally dispatched, who in the world can survive under the Dragon City Lord?"
"What's this? It is said that this time he led a group of humanoid aliens to drill out of the ground and attack Xuantian City, and finally was sent away and escaped!"
"What kind of background does this person have?"
The matter of the small barbarian war has become an open secret among the high-level leaders of the Damen faction, and there are not a few people who constantly criticize him and want to win him over, especially some people who have long been unwilling to live under Emperor Xuan.
According to everyone's speculation, Xiao Manzhan has the power of an enemy country behind him, and there is absolutely no harm in having a good relationship with him, but many people are ready for an olive branch but are struggling to find the right master······
Xiao Manzhan and his party didn't know how long they had been walking, and suddenly saw a black mist in front of them and a thick yin qi, but none of the ghosts dared to approach, and the army of ghosts and ghosts automatically moved away from that area.
"Is there really a city of death in the spiritual land?" just when Xiao Manzhan was puzzled, he heard Shi Gao beside him sigh.
"The City of the Dead, what is that place?" asked the little barbarian.
"Master, this is a legend that circulates in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realms! There is a secret path leading to the Demon Realm in the Netherworld, but whenever a wise person enters, there will be no news. Later, after some powerful people combined with special means, they observed that there was a terrifying city stationed on this road, and this city became known as the City of Death, and because of its strange spirits, people also called this area the Spirit Land!" Shi Gao explained.
When approaching the spiritual land, Xiao Manzhan glanced at the depths of the spiritual land, the strange thing is that the depths of the spiritual land can be seen in the distance, but at this moment, he is approaching but his eyes are completely blocked by the black fog, and it is as dark as if he can't see anything in the night.
Because of the proximity to the spiritual land, the four old generals Yang who opened the way in front also restrained themselves. The earth-shattering sword retreated, for fear of disturbing the existence in the spiritual land. A group of people quickly passed by the place, leaving the spiritual land far behind.
"Now that we have arrived at the spiritual land, presumably the Yin capital is not far away!" Shi Gao said.
At this time, the army of ghosts became denser and denser, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the ground in front of him to suddenly become blood-red.
"How many people are going to die here?" Xiao Manzhan said in surprise as he looked at the boundless blood-red earth, as if he had seen the Five Monarchs of the Blood Hell exert all their strength again. However, when he flew closer, he realized that he was wrong, this piece of blood red was not blood, but flowers—blood-red flowers like mist!
Under this cluster of flowers, zombies, white bones, rotting corpses and other ghosts continued to drill out, as if they had been summoned by some kind of summons, and walked towards the border of Youzhou.
"This is the source of the Youzhou battlefield?" Xiao Manzhan was shocked, and then moved his gaze to the four old generals Yang in the air, they didn't seem to have the intention of making a move, and even the sword was even more restrained, for fear of destroying the source of the group of corpses under him. At this moment, Xiao Manzhan realized that the Lord of the Dust City did not seem to be the loyal minister he imagined to protect his family and defend the country and be wronged by the monarch. Crossing this sea of flowers, the four of them stuck the iron sword back into their backs and led everyone to the ground.
There are still sparse flowers on the other side, but there are no corpses crawling out of the ground, and only a winding dirt road remains in the center. The group walked up the trail.
The flowers on both sides were beautiful, and the slight cool breeze blew on the cheeks, blowing away the irritability of everyone in a hurry. If it weren't for the fact that the sky was still dark and dark, everyone even suspected that they had arrived in a fairyland on earth.
Xiao Manzhan followed a few steps, and when he inadvertently turned around, he found that the way behind him had disappeared inexplicably, and there was a hideous-looking evil ghost in the haze who wanted to pounce. Xiao Manzhan was suddenly startled, and hurriedly turned around to make a Thousand Beasts Technique Starting Move, and everyone hurriedly looked back, all shocked.
"Don't look back, don't look back on Huangquan Road. If you don't look back, you'll be fine!" Shi Gao pulled back the little barbarian battle, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads when they heard this, but they always felt creepy behind them.
"How long will this broken road go? Can't you fly in the clouds?" this was the common thought in everyone's hearts, they had just landed but they couldn't see the end of this place, and if they really walked down, they didn't know how long they would have to walk.
However, the actual situation is not as everyone guessed, they turned every corner on the path, the surrounding scenery will change, a few turns and then out of the other side of the sea of flowers, before and after less than ten minutes, everyone was surprised to look back, how can there be the way before, behind them is empty, except for the rocks and mud empty.
At this time, a river came into view in front of him, and the sound of the huge flowing water was like a war drum. The river is not wide, and Xiao Manzhan can jump mountains and rivers, such a distance is of little meaning to him, but the four of General Yang did not ride the clouds, but walked along the bank towards the downstream of the river on foot.
"This is the Lethe River, in which weak water flows from the Demon Realm, birds cannot cross, and feathers cannot float!" Shi Gao explained.
"This is the Lethe River, we have come to the Yin Capital!" Everyone was curious, obviously the things in this Yin Capital were similar to the rumors, but the surrounding environment was very different from what they imagined.
After walking along the river for a long time, a stone arch bridge across the river came into view. A man in a white robe stands in the middle of an arched bridge looking out over the Lethe River.
"That's the Dust City Lord?" Everyone who followed the little barbarian battle was surprised, although they had exchanged countless powers in the Nine Shadows Illusion Realm, few people could see the Dust City Lord, and they had only seen them in the Dust City a few times from afar. You must know that the Dust City Lord is equivalent to a god-like existence in Youzhou, and most people have only seen the Dust City Lord through the portraits and sculptures of the Dust City Lord.
As if to verify everyone's conjectures, the four of General Yang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the man on the bridge, and then stood quietly behind the man without bothering him.
Everyone came to the bridge and knelt down on one knee with respectful expressions, but the Lord of the Dust City kept his previous gaze as if no one was around, never taking his eyes off the slightest, completely ignoring everyone. But no one was dissatisfied, and no one stepped on the arched bridge to disturb the lord of the dusty city, so they quietly looked up at the men on the arched bridge, looking up at their faith!
The people who followed Xiao Manzhan from the border of Youzhou all knelt down, and only Xiao Manzhan, Shi Gao and eight fox demons stood in the crowd. The eight fox demons actually wanted to kneel, but it was not easy to kneel when they saw Shi Gao and Xiao Manzhan standing, so they timidly lowered their heads and were in a dilemma.
"Brother Ghost Hunter, this is the Dust City Lord!" The followers around Xiao Manzhan were indifferent when they saw Xiao Manzhan, and thought that Xiao Manzhan didn't know the Dust City Lord, so they reminded him.
Xiao Manzhan has been in Youzhou for a while, he knows the status of the Lord of the Dust City in the hearts of everyone, and in addition to the fact that he is commensurate with all the brothers, when he meets the people of faith in the hearts of the brothers, everyone kneels, how can he not kneel?
What's more, now that he has joined the army on the border of Youzhou, the Dust City Lord is his direct superior, and his [Blood Qi Awakening] technique is also favored by the Dust City Lord, not to mention the rest, just the last bit of the Dust City Lord is also worthy of his own worship.
In the end, after thinking about it, Xiao Manzhan felt that he needed to kneel down to the Lord of the Dust City. However, Shi Gao on the side was not willing to bow down, he felt that no matter how strong the Dust City Lord was, he would not be able to let a Red Dust Immortal with a perfect realm kneel down, right? Besides, Shi Gao was also a top existence among the Red Dust Immortals, if he himself was not a demon and was not treated by humans, then he could completely open a sect and establish a sect full of disciples.
At this moment, before the small barbarian battle could move, the dust city lord on the arch bridge moved. The Dust City Lord turned to face everyone, and his gloomy gaze swept over everyone, this was not intentional on the part of the Dust City Lord, their eyes had always been gloomy and terrifying.
In the end, the dust city lord's gaze stopped in the direction of Shi Gao, and the eight fox demons were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Shi Gao glanced at each other with the dust city lord, and suddenly a chill surged up his back. Shi Gao felt uncomfortable, so he had to bow down to the Dust City Lord with his fists in respect, but the Dust City Lord did not look away.
Seeing this, Shi Gao was frightened, and just as he was weighing whether to kneel, Xiao Manzhan stood in front of him. Xiao Manzhan had already planned to kneel, but when he saw Shi Gao being wronged, he was immediately unhappy, and stood in front of Shi Gao and saluted with his fists and looked directly at the Dust City Lord. However, as if he hadn't seen it, the Lord of the Dust City waved his hand and the porcelain bowls filled the arched bridge with hot soup, and then turned to look at the Lechuan River again.
"Come on, drink this bowl of soup and cross the bridge with us!" said to the old general Yang beside the Lord of the Dust City.
Everyone picked up the hot soup on the ground and drank it all without thinking, and then respectfully walked up the bridge, Xiao Manzhan also picked up a bowl and drank it and followed everyone to the bridge. At this time, he was still lingering in what had just happened and couldn't let go, he wondered what kind of person Xiao Manzhan was, who could let the Dust City Lord treat him so differently.
The group followed General Yang and walked down the bridge, and at the end of the bridge stood a stone tablet that read 'Sansheng Stone', and everyone passed by in front of them one by one, looking back at the dragon city lord in the center of the arch bridge behind them from time to time.
"Sansheng Stone, isn't this stele the name of the bridge?" Xiao Manzhan felt strange and stopped in front of the stele, and continued to move forward without seeing anything abnormal.
Travel to a barren land full of strangely shaped rocks, and the whole land is lifeless.
