In order to bring his old friend Lao Liu to the Underworld, the master returned to the yang world alone, but he did not return for a long time. This makes me very worried, especially when it has recently been revealed that there are people from the Maoshan Dao Society above the Giant Waterfall City, and their intentions are unknown.

So, I planned to take a trip to the Mighty Waterfall City myself. When Shichiro found out, he offered to come with me.

I hesitated, "The impact of this incident on the Stygian Harbor is not too big at the moment, and I went to the Great Waterfall City mainly to pick up my master." Besides, we both left Stygian at the same time, so it seems a bit of a stir, right? ”

"No, no, no!" Shichiro waved his hand and said, "Don't underestimate this matter." First of all, the relationship between Mighty Waterfall City and the Harbor is very delicate, on the surface they are trading partners, but in private they are still competitive, and the first two times the underworld wanted to be unfavorable to the Harbor, they both acted as helpers. Therefore, I have long wanted to take a look around the Giant Waterfall City, in case the two Yin Cities will fight again in the future, it is also a precaution to collect information in advance. ”

"Second, Dao Xiu invaded the underworld, and now they have actually hit the idea of the giant waterfall city. Assuming they do find a way and take Mighty Waterfall City like they did in the Sinkhole City, I'm afraid that the Harbor will also suffer losses as a result, not only in terms of business but also in terms of security. So, I think we should step in early. ”

"Intervene? How to intervene? After all, it's the territory of Waterfall. "I'm a little confused.

Shichiro Zhengse said: "Although the relationship between Giant Waterfall City and us is delicate, Dao Xiu is more threatening and direct than them. In fact, we are the same, we would rather keep the neighbor of Giant Waterfall City than let foreign bandits enter the village! If necessary, we can even join forces with Giant Waterfall City to resist the Maoshan Dao Society! ”

It was only after hearing this that I understood what he meant. The relationship between Giant Waterfall City and Stygian Harbor is only a competitive relationship, but the relationship between Dao Cultivation and Yin Cultivation has long deteriorated to a hostile relationship, not to mention ghost cultivators like Shichiro and them. Dao Xiu has always been known for being ruthless in dealing with ghost cultivators, which should be why Shichiro is so concerned about this matter.

"Then let's go together and leave early tomorrow morning!" I said.

Shichiro and I boarded a speedboat from Hades Harbor and it only took fifteen days to reach the Great Waterfall. Since after the establishment of the Harbor, as the owner of the port, my identity has become special, and I can't run back and forth between the major Yin Cities as casually as before, so this is also a rare time to visit the Giant Waterfall City again after a few years.

According to the number of courtesies, I asked my subordinates to hand over the name card to the city lord of Wei first, and attached a meeting gift. In order to avoid suspicion, Shichiro did not plan to go into the city with me, and stayed outside the city alone to wait for news from me.

Although the Wei City Lord of Mighty Waterfall City may not have a good impression of me, it would be rude to close the door. Soon, someone from the city lord's mansion sent me to respectfully welcome me into the mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion in Giant Waterfall City is much more luxurious than my Hong Kong Lord's Mansion, at least three or four times more than the area. Inside you can see the golden house green tiles, strange flowers and plants, the stone steps, the floor are made of white jade, the lampstand is inlaid with night pearls, and the attendants, maidservants, and ghost servants who come in and out are even more numerous. This Wei City Lord is really a person who can enjoy it!

The meeting place was set in the study of the city lord of Wei. It is said that it is a study, but I don't see a few books, but it is full of all kinds of noble and rare decorations and collectibles, which are dazzling and dizzying, and it looks like a rare treasure exhibition hall. The lord of Wei sat behind a desk made of agarwood, wearing a gorgeous wide-sleeved robe, with various gold and gemstone ornaments hanging on his hands and neck, and a crown on his head.

"I've seen Lord Wei."

"Lord Zhai doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

After a brief courtesy, the guest of honor took his seat. I took a closer look, but I couldn't tell from City Lord Wei's face how he was feeling now. He kept drooping his eyelids, as if he was asleep, as if he was not interested in anything, and only moved his lips slightly when he spoke, and spoke softly. City Lord Wei's expression couldn't help but give me the illusion that the recent stormy situation above the Giant Waterfall City had nothing to do with him at all.

"I heard that the whereabouts of Dao cultivators have frequently appeared above the Giant Waterfall City recently, I wonder if there is such a thing?" I asked tentatively.

"It is true." City Lord Wei replied lightly.

This matter had already spread throughout the entire Giant Waterfall City, and it was useless for him to deny it even if he wanted to. But I'm here to get more details.

"Can you be sure it's someone from the Maoshan Dao Society?"

"I guess so."

"How many people are there and what do they want to do?"

"It's not clear."

"Is the Sunshine Passage in Mighty Waterfall City still safe?"

"It's closed."

"What about the other natural passages?"

"Guarded by men."

After just asking a few words, I couldn't ask any more, and asking any more questions was like interrogating a prisoner. Although City Lord Wei answered every question, he did not provide me with any helpful information. Coupled with his cold attitude, it is obvious that he is perfunctory to me, perhaps deliberately concealing some facts.

So, I said: "The Maoshan Dao Society used to crowd out the Yin cultivation in the Yang World, and now it is openly invading the Yin World, which is very unfavorable to my generation. After all, they are not in the same way as us, and their hearts must be different. If the City Lord Wei needs help, he can propose to his junior brother that the Underworld is willing to share the same hatred with the Giant Waterfall City and retreat from the strong enemy together! ”

My statement can be regarded as quite face-saving, and it can even be said that I took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Giant Waterfall City regardless of my previous suspicions.

But City Lord Wei was still unmoved, and just said lightly: "Thank you Zhai Hong Kong Lord for your concern, but the Giant Waterfall City is still able to deal with itself." ”

"Alas......" I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. This Wei City Lord is actually an old stubborn!

Since the host is not enthusiastic, there is no need for me to keep a look at people. After that, I had a casual chat about business matters, and before my ass was hot, I got up and said goodbye.

Out of the Giant Waterfall City, I went to meet Shichiro. He hid in a small market on the bank of a river outside the city, disguising himself as a ghost gang leader and drinking tea at a tea stall. When I found him, there was already one more person and a ghost around him, it was Lu Yu and the one-horned ghost king who he had sent to inquire about the news before.

Qilang first asked me about the meeting with City Lord Wei, and then sneered: "This stubborn guy, the catastrophe is coming, it's still so inappropriate!" ”

I was surprised, "Why do you say that?" ”

Qilang turned to Lu Yu and the one-horned ghost king and said, "You report the information to the Hong Kong lord again." ”

Lu Yu was in charge of investigating the situation in the city, and he said: "According to the inside story I heard from the guards of Giant Waterfall City, in fact, the guards of Giant Waterfall City have already met with the Dao Xiu of the Maoshan Dao Society, and there have been several skirmishes, and people have died on both sides. ”

"Who suffers, who takes advantage?" I asked with interest.

"I can't talk about it. The guards of Giant Waterfall City are more familiar with the terrain, and there are guns on Dao Xiu's side, so everyone is afraid of them. Lu Yu replied.

"How many people died?"

"There are about a dozen of them lost on this side of Giant Waterfall City, and it should be about the same number on the Dao Xiu side. Because the places where they fought were all in natural caves, like a maze, they might get lost or fall to the bottom of the cliff while running, and the specific number of dead and injured was only known to themselves. ”

"Could it be that Giant Waterfall City is planning to rely on this kind of petty play-and-seek tactics and Maoshan Dao will be consumed?" I sneered, "Once Dao Xiu has figured out the way, the next step will definitely be to send a large army down to attack!" ”

Lu Yu also nodded and said, "My subordinates think so too." Therefore, several high-ranking officials in Giant Waterfall City are already considering whether to seal all the natural cave entrances so that Dao Xiu has no way to be found. However, the city lord of Wei strongly objected, thinking that this was likely to block the flow of the underground river, and once the flow was cut off, the giant waterfall city would become a lonely city, and the freight and trade would be greatly affected! ”

"That's right!" I also agreed, "Water is a resource that the development of Mighty Waterfall City depends on, and the underground river flowing out of the Great Waterfall is the largest of the several underground rivers nearby, and the interruption of the flow will not only seriously affect Giant Waterfall City, but also have a huge impact on several Yin Cities downstream, including the Stygian Harbor!" ”

Lu Yu was often reprimanded by me when he was in the Yin Army before, but he was considered an "undercover agent" at that time, and he was not all the way with me. After joining the Stygian Alliance, I found out that this guy is actually not useless, maybe he was deliberately pretending to be a hanger when he was in the Yin Army. This time, he was sent by Shichiro to find out the news, and the task was completed quite well.

After Lu Yu's report, it was the turn of the one-horned ghost king. As soon as it came some time ago, it went headlong into a labyrinthine natural cave, responsible for investigating the whereabouts of Dao Xiu. In the narrow and complex underground caverns, ghosts are certainly more convenient to haunt than humans, and can turn into a cloud of smoke and burrow through it.

"The people of the Maoshan Dao Society have initially established a base on the ground above the Giant Waterfall City, which will be used as a base camp to explore and attack the Giant Waterfall City." The voice of the one-horned ghost king was like a bell, and although he had tried his best to suppress the volume, it still attracted a burst of sideways glances from the passers-by around him.

It was not happy, and glared at the surroundings and roared, "What are you looking at? Get out of the way! I haven't had lunch today, people and ghosts are my food! ”

Most of those who pass by are ghost slaves who work as coolies or poor Taoist cultivators with low cultivation, where do they dare to provoke it? After this roar, the vicinity of the tea stall was suddenly empty, and even the boss hid to the side, and it seemed that he didn't plan to ask for the tea money.

I was anxious to listen to the report of the One-Horned Ghost King, and I didn't bother to take care of this, so I hurriedly said, "Don't worry about them, you go on!" ”

The one-horned ghost king has the highest ghost skill among the three ghost kings, and he usually only serves Qilang, so he is quite polite to me. "This base is tucked away in a dense forest, converted from a dormitory in a former lumberyard," it said. Because the Maoshan Dao Association sent a master to lead the team this time, I didn't dare to get too close, so I couldn't touch their exact number. But from the number of people I saw, the total number was about a hundred, and basically everyone had a gun. ”

"Wow! The firepower is fierce! I couldn't help but exclaim.
