Chapter 316: Smooth Ascension
A month later, inside the ghost town.
Xiao Yichen sat in the Hades Hall with a leisurely posture, his eyes slightly closed, and he knocked on the customary carved seat with his knuckles alone.
And the Ghost Emperor, who was sitting three zhang away from him, was not very comfortable.
On the one hand, the Ghost Emperor was worried that the ghost soldiers below had been killed too much and it was difficult to explain to the above, and on the other hand, he was worried that the ghost soldiers had killed too many and it was difficult to discuss with the people in front of him, so he was quite uneasy for a while.
"Childe!"
Shao You strode into the hall, came to Xiao Yichen's side and reported aloud: "There are about 1,000 ghost cultivators in this ghost city, and there will be less than 100 ghosts. In these 10 days, listen to your instructions to move your muscles and bones as much as possible. We have only exterminated a total of forty-five ghost generals and more than five hundred ghost soldiers......"
When the Ghost Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but "hiss", and hurriedly lifted the hem of the black robe and was about to get up. Half of the people are missing at this time, how to explain to the above?
finally won the opportunity to defend the ghost town at this critical moment, isn't it just for that kind of treasure. Now that there are so many ghost soldiers and ghost generals killed and injured in the ghost city, will the ghost emperors let him go?
Xiao Yichen opened a pair of peach blossom eyes when he heard the sound, and looked at the Ghost Emperor with a smile: "My lord, but I have the same mind as Xiao, and I also think that these numbers are too few and need to be added?"
Xiao Gongzi laughed, laughed. The Emperor thinks this is a very good number...... Very good, no need to add more. The Ghost Emperor had just raised half of his body, and was startled by Xiao Yichen, so he had to sit back aggrieved.
Thinking that he is a ghost emperor, he is also a powerful ghost cultivator in the ghost domain, and now he actually wants to discuss with a living person, but he only feels that he can't do it. But he doesn't have the strength to move the person in front of him.
Coupled with the ghost generals and ghost soldiers lost in the previous half a year, the Ghost Emperor only felt that it was really unfortunate to grab this opportunity. The one who sat in the ghost town last time is now ranked as the ghost emperor.
The Ghost Emperor touched the ethereal beard on his lips with his hand, and thought bitterly, how could he say his current situation in human terms?
Bad luck......
Shao You didn't care what the Ghost Emperor was thinking, he patted the Qiankun bag full of Mingjing, and showed his eight teeth with a smile: "Childe, let's hurry up and go to purgatory!"
Xiao Yichen looked outside the hall, his divine sense stretched out of the city gate, but there was still no shadow of other monks. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he stroked his sleeve impatiently.
"Childe's performance in the past few days is inevitably abnormal, is there anything down here that makes him feel more difficult than those people above?"
Shao You received the transmission, turned his head and glared at the other party impatiently, "Uncle, why do I have to tell you." Don't you rely on your own brain, guess for yourself. ’
In this team, he was most unaccustomed to Xia Shanshan, followed by Wei Zhao, a sick and weak guy who looked like he was about to die, and he didn't know why Gongzi took him.
Wei Zhao, who was not used to Shao You, stood quietly in a corner of the hall, wearing an inky black robe and hood, almost melting into the darkness of the hall.
I'm afraid it's because of that seeker. The corners of Wei Zhao's lips curled into a cold arc, and his chin was raised, revealing an almost pale face from under the brim of his hat. Strangely, his facial features were featureless, and if he didn't distinguish them by skin color, he could hardly find anyone in the crowd.
Shao You's face turned black and he was about to jump up to refute, but Xiao Yichen got up one step ahead of him and ordered, "Let's go." ”
The sound was not loud, but it was enough to reach the ears of all the team members inside and outside the Hades Palace.
Wei Zhao also wanted to see some clues from Xiao Yichen's face, but when he received a casual glance from the other party, he immediately withdrew all his thoughts and respectfully followed him out of the hall.

Outside the lookout platform.
Mu Xi quit the illusion and was very satisfied with his improvement this time.
In the later stage of foundation building, not only did she improve her strength, but the biggest gain this time was that after the Wind and Thunder Technique, she realized a new technique from the Ten Thousand Phases Heart Method.
The name of the exercise is to store qi and nourish breath.
I don't know if it's related to the Huiling Plate, when she was enlightened, the practice of hiding qi and nourishing breath was quite natural.
It's a bit like the Enlightenment Exercise. When such a basic exercise is performed continuously, when the body forms an inertia and remembers the operation of the exercise itself, the practitioner uses the aura, which will reduce the consumption of aura. At the time of the completion of this exercise, the consumption can be reduced by up to 50%.
What is the concept of reducing consumption by 50%?
This is equivalent to fighting with the same people, the same level and the like, half a life more than others! Even if it seems extremely troublesome and quite aura draining in the early stage, it is enough to make people crazy.
Of course, the premise of this cultivation must be in the realm of cultivating immortals with sufficient spiritual energy, and it is a big deal to meditate diligently if the spiritual energy is consumed. But in this abyss where the aura is thin, wanting to practice this exercise is tantamount to sending a talisman to yourself.
It's just that this talisman is really not a big deal in Mu Xici's opinion.
The Soul Plate is her work!
When she was making this thing, of course, she didn't hesitate to hurry up and prepare a lot for herself, and the number of times and the capacity that the aura can hold are not comparable to the high-grade Hui Ling Disk that others can match.
Not to mention that she still has the Seven Star Illusion in hand.
Some jerky operation to hide qi and recuperate, Mu Xici hung an agate pendant around his neck, and walked out with a relaxed step.
The place where she is now is in a cave at the foot of the white mountain of Wangxiangtai.
There should be many monks who have passed through this place to rest before. There are many mature caves at the foot of the hundred mountains, and some of the caves are divided into different caves.
Mu Xici was about to break through at the critical juncture, so he hurriedly said hello to Liang Huai and the others, then casually found a cave room that didn't seem to be dangerous, arranged a shielding formation, and plunged into the Seven Star Illusion.
At this moment, there was a person sitting outside who was polishing his sword, and when he felt the movement, a powerful aura erupted from his body, and he immediately stood up with his sword.
Mu Xici not only did not be vigilant, but relaxed his senses, and raised his eyebrows in some surprise: "Zili, why are you here." What about the rest of the team?"
"Next door. ”
Obviously, he felt that there was no need to answer the first question, Zili also relaxed his body after seeing Mu Xici, put the sword into the scabbard behind his back, and answered the other party's doubts with a lot of words.
Immediately after, he glanced at the pendant under Mu Xici's neck strangely, but did not ask.
It's really sensitive.
Mu Xici touched the pendant, gestured to Zili, and the two walked out of the cave one after the other and walked next door.
Although the promotion is something to celebrate for the team, this is the abyss underground after all. Advancing itself requires a lot of aura, what does it mean to be able to advance in a place where aurais is thin?
Mu Xici doesn't want to test people's hearts here.
For the sake of prudence, she put on a magic weapon that was given by her cheap master and could hide a layer of aura fluctuations, making herself look like she was still in the middle stage of foundation building.
