Chapter 685: Stalling for Time
Before the Ghost King left, he arranged a place for Wuyou and Yuming to live, but this was obviously a temporary place, and the interior layout was extremely simple. Wuyou cleaned up a little and stayed in the room, while Youming went to the next door and stayed in another room.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the ghost king came in a hurry, came directly to the door of Wuyou's room, knocked on the door and waited for Wuyou to come out. Maiyu heard the voice, pushed the door and walked out of the room, nodding to the Ghost King.
"Seniors came here so early, but what do you have to say?"
"We had an agreement before, you help me rescue my teacher, and I will set your brother free. And the Nine Ghost Sea is far from here, even if there is a teleportation array, it will take a long time, shouldn't you set off! The Ghost King glanced at Wuyou and spoke slowly.
Wu You smiled: "The seniors order, and the juniors should obey." It's just that the land of the soul sea is very dangerous, and it is difficult to go deep with the current cultivation of the younger generation, and the breakthrough of the younger generation's cultivation is imminent, so I want to wait for the cultivation to improve before going. ”
"How long will it take?" The Ghost King frowned, a slight displeasure on his face. In order to ask for help from Wuyou, he has made a lot of concessions, and even agreed to Wuyou's requests one by one. In order to let Wuyou take action as soon as possible and rescue his master.
But now, everything has been prepared, but Wuyou suddenly changed his words here, which made the ghost king very unhappy. If it weren't for the fact that this matter had to be danced, he would probably have turned his face a long time ago, and where would he still talk about it here.
"When?" Wu You scratched his head and muttered a little, before he spoke again, "Junior cultivation." In fact, it has reached the verge of a breakthrough, as long as I am given a few months, I will definitely be able to make a breakthrough. ”
"What, a few months!" The Ghost King's face sank, and he shook his head coldly, "This is absolutely not good, if the time is delayed for a few months, there will inevitably be other changes, which is too unfavorable for us." ”
"But according to the words of the seniors, your master has been trapped for a long time. Even if it were a few more months. It doesn't make a difference, right? Wuyou smiled on his face.
The Ghost King shook his head and snorted softly, "What do you know! If it had been before, it would have been nothing longer delayed. But after you agreed yesterday, I have already ordered someone to open the teleportation formation. Just wait for you to enter the sea of souls today.
And this teleportation formation is extraordinary. Every opening comes at a huge cost. Even with the power of my Yin Luo Palace, it can only be opened once every hundred years. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another hundred years. Don't talk about me. Even if you don't have the patience to wait! ”
"And such a thing?" Wu You was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously scratched her head.
"If it weren't for that, how could I be so anxious to get you in. As for your cultivation, although it is not too high, it is enough to deal with it within the soul sea, and it will not be too much of a problem to rescue the family teacher. ”
Wu You didn't know whether the ghost king's words were true or false, but from his tone and eyes, he couldn't see any flaws. This made Wuyou feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to respond. If the Ghost King's words are true, if he misses the formation teleportation at this time, he will need to wait for a hundred years.
And within this hundred years, the ghost king will inevitably monitor himself strictly, and he will not give himself the possibility of escaping at all. In this way, even if he could rescue Qin Yijian, he would not be able to get out of this place.
But if he agrees, Youming will have no chance to do it. After the deed is accomplished, if the ghost king is trustworthy, it is fine, in case he suddenly repents, then there is still no possibility of leaving. Wuyou's heart was entangled, and he didn't say anything for a while.
The Ghost King didn't urge, just stood there and waited quietly. He knew very well in his heart that as long as Wuyou was not stupid, he would inevitably obey his will. After all, 100 years is a long time, and no one wants to be trapped in one place.
After a little groaning, Wuyou sighed, and was about to take a step back and agree to this. But before Wuyou could speak, Yu Ming's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"My Youming disciple is not cannon fodder who sacrifices at will. If you are not prepared, you will easily enter the Nine Ghost Soul Sea like this, not only will you not be able to save your master, but I am afraid that even she will fall into it. In my opinion, it would be safer to let her have a little more time to prepare. ”
"But the limit of the formation, the eldest brother doesn't know, if he misses this time, he will have to wait for a hundred more years." The Ghost King frowned, his face embarrassed. This Youming's identity is special, and his words carry extremely heavy weight, even the ghost king is not willing to refute it easily.
Youming shook his head: "I naturally know the limit of the formation, but I also know that every time the formation is opened, it can last for a period of time." This period can be long or short, but if it is maintained in full force, it can be as long as a month. My disciple's breakthrough is imminent, and he will definitely be able to break through within a month to make his cultivation go further.
In that case, why don't we wait a little longer for a month to make this matter more certain. After all, a special existence like my disciple is very rare, and you don't want her to die in such a daze. If she dies, there may be nothing, and your master will be hopeless. ”
Hearing Youming's words, the Ghost King hesitated a little, and finally sighed and nodded: "Big brother's words, there may be some truth. Since this is the case, then I will give her an extra month, and whether she breaks through or not, she must enter the formation. Otherwise, she would have to stay here and wait for the formation to restart after a hundred years. ”
Saying this, the Ghost King took a deep look at Wuyou and turned to leave. Yu Ming smiled faintly, glanced at Wu You, and then retreated into his room.
"I always feel that things are not so simple, this Yu Ming prevents me from entering the Nine Ghost Sea, I am afraid there are other purposes." Wuyou muttered in her heart and turned back to her room.
What is the purpose of Yu Ming, it is not just a guess to know. Wuyou thought about it for a long time, but she never had a clue, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being. The only thing she hopes for now is that Youming can rescue Qin Yijian as soon as possible, so that she can lose this concern.
Of course, there is another thing that Wuyou always cares about, that is, Gong Jiaoyun, who has not seen a trace. From the previous illusory picture, Wu You can discern where Gong Jiaoyun is, which should be in this place of Yin Si. But since I came here, there has been no news. Even the Ghost King and the others did not mention it in the slightest.
This made Wuyou very strange, and he felt inexplicable in his heart. In her previous guess, Gong Jiaoyun should have been caught here by Youji in order to lure herself here. But if that's the case, after she arrives, she should use this as a threat to force herself to submit.
But as a result, Yuhime didn't mention it at all. Even if the dance delays time today, the ghost king is furious in his heart. There is not the slightest word to reveal. That's a bit unusual.
"Once I delay the formation, I will have to wait for a hundred years. According to common sense, the ghost king should use his mother as a threat, after all, she is only a mortal. It simply couldn't have lasted so long. When the time comes, I will miss my mother. There will inevitably be compromises.
This ghost king is a cunning man. It is impossible not to think of this. There is only one explanation for not doing so. That is, his mother is not in the hands of the ghost king at all, and he doesn't know about it at all. Let's put it this way. My previous guess was wrong, and there must be something else hidden here. ”
Wuyou groaned for a moment, and then with a wave of one hand, he arranged a layer of isolation in the room. This power is not strong, but it is enough to resist the impact of ordinary spiritual sense, as long as the other party's cultivation has not reached the Xuan Immortal, there is no way to probe the spiritual sense into the room.
As for the Ghost King and others, although they have this ability, they should not be so blatant because of their identity.
After doing this, Wu You's mind turned around and summoned the soul of the Nine Plains Emperor from the compass space. Jiuyuan was reluctant to go out before, so he had been left in the compass space to cultivate, and during this time, he had recovered and had reached the realm of the early stage of the Golden Immortal.
This cultivation, although a little weaker than Wuyou, is also a good help. What is especially rare is that Jiuyuan is a soul body, although it is also a little rejected by this world, but it is not as strong as Bai Ming. After a little familiarization, Jiuyuan had completely adapted to the power of repulsion, and became indistinguishable from the Yang World.
However, Jiu Yuan has always been immersed in his own cultivation and does not care much about the outside world. At this time, he was suddenly called out of the compass, and he seemed quite surprised, glanced at Wuyou, and asked in a deep voice.
"Why did you suddenly look for me, but what happened?"
"Senior, there is something I want to ask my seniors to help." Wu You said in a respectful voice.
Jiuyuan frowned: "What's the matter!" ”
"I would like to ask my seniors to stay here, to take on my own form, and to deal with the visitors. I will leave a clone behind to cooperate with the actions of my seniors. With this formation blocking, coupled with the clone breath to cover it, it should be able to confuse it for a while. Maiyu opened his mouth and stated his purpose.
Wuyou's original plan was to stay here with his own deity and let the doppelganger go out to investigate. Or leave a doppelganger and go out to act. But in that case, Maiyo needs to be distracted and controlled, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. In desperation, Wu You called Jiuyuan out and asked him to stay here instead of himself to deal with the people of the Yin Luo Palace.
As for Bai Ming, it was originally a better choice, after all, as a nine-tailed fox clan, the power of transformation was an innate instinct. It will be more realistic and perfect if he changes it. It's a pity that the white underworld body has spiritual power, and once he walks out, he will be rejected by the power of space, but there is no way to help.
Hearing Wuyou's request, Jiuyuan nodded without hesitation. But for the transformation of things, his heart is a little bottomless, after all, there are many powers here, and if you are not careful, you will be seen to be flawed.
Regarding Jiuyuan's concerns, Wuyou had already considered it, and in a blink of mind, the green-clothed clone appeared directly in front of Jiuyuan.
"Senior, this clone has the power of a half-step Xuan Immortal, and her aura is spread out to envelop this place, even the Ghost King has no way to easily detect the clues. Unless he breaks the formation and takes a closer look. But he still has a request for me, so he shouldn't be so easy.
Although the cultivation of this doppelganger is high, after all, there is no independent consciousness, and once there is an unexpected change, it is a little difficult to deal with. That's why I asked my seniors to help me deal with the investigation of the people of the Yin Luo Temple, and buy me some time. ”
Jiu Yuan glanced at the clone, and then nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll help you deal with it for a while, but don't leave for too long, otherwise there is still a possibility that someone will find out." ”
"I will rush back as soon as possible, and I will never add danger to my seniors!" Maiyu hurriedly promised.
Jiuyuan smiled: "My danger is nothing, anyway, I am already a dead soul, even if I die again, it will only be a soul collapse." But you, you have to be extremely careful, this is the core of the Yin Luo Palace, and it is not easy to break into. ”
"I know what to do, thank you seniors for your concern!" Jiuyuan promised to help, and Wuyou was very happy in his heart, and after thanking him repeatedly, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Whether there is someone watching outside, Wuyou doesn't know in his heart, but he definitely can't swagger out. After a moment of silence, Wuyou pushed open the door and called out to a nearby Yin Luo Hall subordinate, asking him to fetch the Spirit Stone for himself on the grounds that he needed cultivation resources.
The subordinates of the Yin Luo Palace are just an earth immortal realm, and they are usually responsible for the guards of the Yin Luo Palace. Today is the order of the ghost king.,Come to the door of the dance room and wait for the dispatch.。
Hearing Wuyou's request, the subordinate did not dare to delay, and hurriedly turned around and left, reporting the matter to Qi Haoming. Hao Ming had been ordered by the Ghost King to send someone to monitor Wuyou, but also to cooperate with Wuyou's cultivation as much as possible, so that she could break through her cultivation as soon as possible.
Faced with Wuyou's request, Hao Ming didn't think much about it, and then took some spirit stones and sent them into Wuyou's room in person. Seeing this, Maiyu hurriedly shook his head, blocking it out of the door, and then stretched out his hand to the guard from before.
"Just let him send the Spirit Stone in, and I won't bother you to do it yourself. I still need to clean up this room, and it's just time for him to help take care of it. ”
Footsteps were blocked, Hao Ming was slightly stunned, and glanced at Wu You with some doubts. Then his eyes flashed, and he responded in a deep voice.
"The master instructed that he must stay outside the door of the young lady's room and wait for the young lady's orders at any time. This take the spirit stone, it should be my service, and it is reasonable to help the young lady send it into it. As for taking care of the house, I'm better at it than he is, and I'll do it all the time. As he spoke, Hao Ming took a few steps forward and was about to dance in the room today.
Wuyou frowned, and reached out to stop him again: "Are you really sure you want to come in and help me take care of it, it will take a lot of time." ”
"It doesn't matter, it's my job." Hao Ming replied and stepped forward again. It's just that there is a sneer on the corner of his mouth, obviously he has doubts about Wuyou's approach. And his cultivation is between him and Wuyou, even if Wuyou wants to play any tricks, he has enough confidence to deal with it.
This time, the dance was so leisurely that he didn't stop it again, but let Haoming enter the room, and then stretched out his hand to the back.
"I don't need a few wooden chairs there, you can help me put them away!" (To be continued......)
