Chapter 1606: The Imperial Court

After about an hour, Tang Huan and Jiu Ling finally stopped.

At this time, what appeared in front of them was a vast village courtyard, known as the "Eastern Imperial Courtyard". This place is the residence of the princes and their retinue.

The next "Imperial Soul Ceremony" was also held here.

At the gate of the royal courtyard, there were four guards, all of whom were sixteenth-order necromancy. At the gate, there are figures coming in and out from time to time, and all those who enter the royal courtyard need to show a token.

"Whew!"

Jiu Ling's thoughts moved slightly, and a small black jade plate flashed in his palm, and on the jade plate, there seemed to be blood-red lines looming.

Immediately, Jiu Ling threw the jade card at one of the necromantic guards.

After the necromantic guard took it, a ball of blood-red glow immediately rose up, condensing into the three characters of "Ninety-Six" at a height of more than ten meters.

"I've seen the Ninety-Six Princes!"

Several guards immediately bowed down, and the jade plaque was respectfully handed back to Jiu Ling, and the blood-colored characters disappeared in the sky above.

Jiu Ling bowed his head slightly, and said crisply: "They are all my servants." ”

"Yes. ”

A necromantic guard nodded, and as soon as he grabbed it, there were ten more black jade plaques in his hand, about one finger long and three fingers wide, and unlike the jade plaque of Jiuling, these jade plaques contained a blood-colored ring, "With it, His Royal Highness's servants can freely enter and leave the imperial courtyard." ”

Jiu Ling nodded lightly and took the ten jade plates.

"Put it away!"

Jiu Ling casually threw her hand back, and continued to move forward, and as soon as she finished speaking, the jade plaques had already appeared in front of Tang Huan and the other nine fifteenth-order necromancers.

Passing through the gate, an avenue hundreds of meters wide stretches straight ahead.

On both sides of this avenue, a number of temples of different shapes but extremely large are spread out. At the entrance to each building, a number is carved on the side of the door.

The palace corresponding to their respective rankings is the residence of the princes.

At this moment, many palaces have been occupied by princes, and in the halls, the figure of the dead spirit looms.

Tang Huan only sensed it slightly, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, if his judgment was correct, the strength of a small number of undead spirits in the surrounding temples was already extremely amazing. Some should have reached the twenty-first order, and may have even surpassed the twenty-first order.

The twenty-first-order necromancy, on the side of the human cultivators, is already equivalent to the tenth-order heavenly phase like Du Yue.

The necromancers who surpass the twenty-first order are like the heavenly powerhouses above the heavenly phase. A necromancer of this strength obviously can't be a servant, it can only be a prince.

By the time of the "Imperial Spirit Ceremony", there will be as many as 100 princes living in this "East Underworld Imperial Courtyard", although Jiuling's strength is also very good, and she has survived for countless years, but her time to cross the catastrophe and ascend to the sky is not too long, compared with these princes, there is still a relatively large gap.

Tang Huan paid attention to the number of the temple where those necromantic masters were located, and it was indeed very high.

That necromancer, whose cultivation may have surpassed the twenty-first order, actually lived in the No. 5 Palace, which meant that he was ranked fifth among the hundred princes.

Fortunately, Jiuling participated in the "Emperor Spirit Ceremony" this time, and there was no need to set a high goal, as long as he entered the top ninety and guaranteed not to be eliminated.

With emotion, Tang Huan and Jiu Ling and his entourage had already found the No. 96 Temple.

"Tsk, isn't this His Highness the Nine Spirits, who came to the Eastern Underworld City so late? I've been waiting for you here for a long time in the 'Eastern Underworld Imperial Courtyard'. ”

At this moment, a gloomy voice sounded, and in front of the temple next to it, a figure suddenly flashed, it was the yin candle that had been humiliated by Jiu Ling half a year ago, and at this time, he was looking at Jiu Ling with a smile, and his narrow eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Oh, that's hard for you!"

Hearing this, Jiu Ling pursed his lips, then patted his head, and said with some doubts, "By the way, Lao Tzu remembers that you seem to be calling a lewd snake?"

"It's a black candlestick!"

The black candle skin couldn't help twitching twice, and a black aura flashed between his eyebrows.

Of course, he could see that Jiu Ling deliberately used the word "lewd snake" to call him, but he still couldn't help but correct it, but his tone became more and more gloomy.

"Yes, black candlestick!"

Jiu Ling nodded abruptly.

Immediately, she said seriously, "Last time, you ran to Lao Tzu's 'Lingxi Palace' without Lao Tzu's permission, causing Lao Tzu to rebuild the 'Lingxi Palace' once, which took countless time and energy.

"Reparations?"

When Yin Candle heard this, he was stunned, before that, he had thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect Jiu Ling to say such a thing.

"That's right, the reconstruction of Lao Tzu's 'Lingxi Palace' is completely caused by you, shouldn't you compensate?"

Jiu Ling stared at the yin candle with an extremely unkind expression, "What, you plan to repay the account?

"You ......"

Yin Candle was so angry that his face turned pale, and even if he gritted his teeth in an instant, his two eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake staring directly at Jiu Ling, and the look was chilling, "Jiu Ling, do you want to compensate......?"

"Simply what?"

However, before the Yin Candle voice fell, an unusually rough voice sounded, "Jiu Ling, I heard you right, this little snake wants to pay the bill?"

When this voice first sounded, it seemed to be thousands of meters away, but when it came to the last character, it was already rumbling back and forth in the ears like a thunderbolt, as if even the eardrum could penetrate. Immediately after, a majestic and burly figure flashed out.

It was a strong man nearly ten meters tall, naked, with only a black animal skin around his waist.

The strong man's eyes were like lanterns, glowing with a faint blood light, his smooth head was covered with two horn-like things, his skin was a bronze color, and his muscles were bulging, as if he contained explosive power, which could erupt like a volcano at any time.

On the shoulders of this strong man, he carried a thick long stick.

The long stick was forged from some material, it was the thickness of a sea bowl, twenty or thirty meters long, the body of the stick was as black as ink, and the wisps of black silk breath lingered on the long stick, although he did not urge, but there was a terrible breath faintly overflowing from the stick, which made people palpitate.

"Cow!"

As soon as he saw the strong man's face, Yin Candle couldn't help but change his expression, but Jiu Ling laughed quite excitedly, "You just came to the 'Eastern Underworld Imperial Courtyard'?" Lao Tzu thought that you would not be able to arrive until the last day, but I haven't seen you for a while, and your strength seems to have improved a lot." ”
