Volume 2 Chapter 30 (Part II)

As night fell, the entire Youdu City was slowly shrouded in night, and the moonlight could already be seen faintly pouring into the night sky in the east.

In a short time, the moon burst out like a tender shoot from the ground and had already emerged.

At this time, the scattered lights of many households can still be seen in the entire secluded capital city, but as the night approaches step by step, those lights are also extinguished one after another.

Midnight was approaching, and everyone closed the doors and windows and chose to sleep, the only way to avoid being taken to the netherworld by the ghost.

The lights in Lin Jiuli and Yu Yao's rooms were also extinguished at the same time, and the two of them coincidentally lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, waiting for midnight to come.

Time is passing quietly......

Rumble!

However, before midnight, the gate of the secluded capital city suddenly opened, and in the moonlight, a passage with red light flickering had already emerged.

And so on for nearly a quarter of an hour without any movement. So no one noticed.

It has always been that only when midnight comes, this passage to the netherworld will appear, but before midnight arrives today, this passage will be opened, revealing too much weirdness for a while.

Stomp, stomp!

Suddenly, a sound like the sound of horses' hooves came from the city gates. Slowly through the moonlight, there was a shadow that stretched very long, extending little by little from the passage.

At first, it seemed to be the shape of a horse's head, but gradually the horse's body also appeared, but there was a human-like shadow on the horse's body.

Whew!

Finally, a horse snorted and panted, and a man in black armor and holding a black trident appeared in the moonlight.

Immediately after, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, the sound of gold and silver mixed with the shaking of armor came leisurely, and more and more shadows extended from the passage behind the figure.

After a while, an ironclad army appeared in sight. There were quite a large number, fifty or sixty people, who were already surrounded at the city gate, and the city gate was so dense that even the moonlight could only be faintly seen.

What's even more strange is that it is not so much strange as it is weird, those figures wearing black iron armor, all of them have a pair of eyes with a faint green glow, looking at it from a distance, it is like two small ghost fires floating, extremely terrifying.

Boom!

The man on the horse, with a wave of his trident, plunged it into the ground. At the same time, she clasped her hands to her chest and her lips moved, as if to say something.

After she finished speaking, she saw that the fifty or sixty armored soldiers, all kneeling on one knee, seemed to have promised, but they really couldn't understand what they were talking about, and they couldn't describe it.

Then, one by one, the phantom soldiers got up, and with their heavy steps, they divided into many groups from the city gate, and went in different directions, each group had no less than five phantom soldiers.

At the same time, Lin Jiuli, Yu Yao, and Wu Chang all opened their eyes together, raised their eyebrows, and showed a look of surprise on their faces......

Knock knock!

"Yu Yao, can I come in?" Outside Yu Yao's house, Lin Jiuli knocked on the door and said.

"Well, come in!"

Lin Jiuli pushed the door in, his face was solemn, and he walked directly to Yu Yao, who glanced through the gap in the window before turning around.

"Ruthless, you feel it too?" she asked, looking at Lin Jiuli.

"Well, it always feels wrong, midnight hasn't come yet. I seemed to hear something just now, and it woke me up. Did you hear that?" said Lin Jiuli with a frown.

"Well, I heard that too. But I looked outside just now and didn't see anything wrong. Yu Yao said lightly.

Jingle bell – jingle bell!

The two looked at each other, and their pupils couldn't help shrinking. Then they went to the window and looked out. Yu Yao walked in front, Lin Jiuli followed her closely, and Yu Yao gently opened a window.

"Wow...... This is ......" Seeing the situation outside, Lin Jiuli blurted out in shock, but Yu Yao reacted quickly, closed the window at the moment, turned around and covered Lin Jiuli's mouth with her jade hand, and then made a silent gesture.

Lin Jiuli's eyes widened, blinked twice, and nodded.

Only then did Yu Yao send her hand away.

Lin Jiuli sniffed his nose, and muttered with an endless aftertaste, 'It's so fragrant'. He immediately came back to his senses and asked, "Yu Yao, what were those just now?"

"Phantom soldiers!"

"What?Phantom Soldiers?" Lin Jiuli was surprised, "Why did they come to the Yang Realm?

"It seems that something has really happened to the Xuanqiong Continent, causing too many unjust souls to appear on the side of the Netherworld. So the man on the other side sent someone to inspect it. "After all, Yu Yao is a person from the Netherworld, so she is very calm.

"What the hell is going on? So many people died all of a sudden?" Lin Jiuli was also puzzled.

"I don't know yet. Yu Yao also shook her head.

"Then what now? Before midnight came, these phantom soldiers suddenly shuttled through the streets and alleys, and if they woke up the people, they would be in chaos. Lin Jiuli said.

"No, you have to go out and have a look, in case they frighten the people, although they are hidden soldiers, and ordinary people walking cannot notice them, but if you meet any of them who have not yet slept, and you see them, it will be terrible. That would scare people to death. Yu Yao also reacted, and immediately pulled Lin Jiuli out of the inn quietly.

They quietly hid in the shadows, secretly observing the movements of the phantom soldiers.

"Yu Yao, should we go and meet Wu Chang first! That kid probably noticed it too. ”

"Well, let's go. Let's go find him first. ”

"Hey, I-here I am!" At this moment, Wu Chang, who was far away, was in a corner, beckoning to them, and his voice was very small for fear of being heard by the ghost soldiers.

However, Lin Jiuli and the others just heard it, and immediately ran over quietly.

"Miss Yu Yao, it seems that you guessed right, something big must have happened recently? Even the Phantom Soldiers have come out, indicating that the people of the Netherworld have begun to investigate. Wu Chang said, "But if they come out like this, they will scare the people, how can this be good?"

"Fortunately, now the people are sleeping with all the sleepers, and the people can't hear them when they walk, and I'm worried that it won't be good if anyone who hasn't slept touches them. ”

"Shut up, we're just worried about that, so we're out to see if something happens. Lin Jiuli said.

"Oh!" Wu Chang nodded, "Then what should we do now?" midnight is coming soon, and the ghost will come out at that time. ”

"Then you are still empty-handed, why don't you hurry up and cover your mouth and nose with something on time, don't be bewitched by the Nether Qi again, I tell you, if you are bewitched again, I won't save you." Lin Jiuli glanced at him angrily.

Hush!

"Don't talk, they seem to be gone? Yu Yao said.

I saw that the soldiers who were originally patrolling the streets and alleys suddenly converged towards the main road, and finally unified towards the city gate.

"What are they going to do? Are they going to go back?" Lin Jiuli and the three of them, who followed the phantom soldiers, followed the phantom soldiers closely, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of being discovered, seeing that the phantom soldiers suddenly gathered together and walked towards the city gate, Wu Chang couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, let's go over and see. Lin Jiuli said a word, and immediately chased after him.

Wu Chang glanced at Yu Yao beside him, and also kept up with Lin Jiuli's pace with his mouth and nose covered, but Yu Yao didn't follow.

She turned into another corner.

"They still have a commander?" Wu Chang said. At this moment, Lin Jiuli and Wu Chang were in the same corner, looking towards the city gate, and they saw the figure riding on the horse and holding the trident.

"You're not talking nonsense, these soldiers are all small minions, and there must be a commander. Lin Jiuli glanced back at him, but didn't find Yu Yao's figure, "What about Yu Yao?

Wu Chang also looked around: "Eh, she was still there when I left, why didn't she come with me?"

"Forget it, she'll be fine. Let's get closer and see if we can overhear what they say?" Thinking of Yu Yao's identity, Lin Jiuli understood that Yu Yao might have deliberately avoided it, so he didn't worry too much, and secondly, he still knew Yu Yao's strength, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Okay, let's go!"
