In the eastern part of the Qingxia Dynasty, there was a very wide plain called the Great Xia Plain. This plain is the birthplace of the Qingxia Dynasty. To this day, the imperial city of the dynasty still stands in the center of the plain.

Around the imperial city, there is a big city in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, which is the fief of the emperor's relatives, namely the Qing clan in the west city, the Bai clan in the east city, the Zhu clan in the north city, and the Xuan clan in the south city.

In addition, the imperial city in the center, the five top cities of the Qingxia Dynasty, constitute the cornerstone of the Qingxia Dynasty, and at the same time, make the Great Xia Plain a center of commerce and spiritual exchanges.

At this moment, on the edge of the plain, in some unknown corner, an ordinary town has taken root in this land.

Since it is located at one of the entrances to the Great Xia Plain, although the town is not large, it is also extremely lively, with caravans coming and going, and there is an endless stream of psychics.

During this time, there is a particularly hot topic for the residents of the town: "ghosts wandering the plains".

At this time, two small vendors were chatting with each other about ghosts on the plains during their breaks.

The vendor on the left said, "I heard that this morning, the peasants who came back from the plough saw the shadow of that ghost again!"

The vendor on the right said, "Why is it so ghostly! It makes us small citizens afraid to go out!"

The vendor on the left continued: "I heard that in order to solve this problem and appease the panicked people, the mayor of the town specially spent a lot of money to go to Xicheng to invite the best psychic to exorcise the ghosts, why are the ghosts still there now?

The vendor on the right continued: "It's not that he didn't come! I heard from the soldiers who accompanied me that I had indeed encountered a ghost, and there were many spirit arrays, but in the end, I didn't even catch the shadow of the ghost!"

When the vendor on the left heard this, his expression became even more frightened, and he said, "No, right? Even the spiritual master of Xicheng has not been able to solve it? This ghost is so powerful? What a heavy resentment! Isn't it time for us to move, I feel that it is dangerous to continue to stay here!"

......

Here's why.

A few days ago, on the vast plain outside the town, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared from time to time.

Rumor has it that the shadow has a pair of large pointed ears, gray hair all over its body, and sharp claws with fangs and claws, and is a real monster.

According to what people have seen, this ghost shadow has no body, floating through the trees, through the human body, whenever the wind rises, you can see the ghost shadow passing by, extremely terrifying!

However, except for a few peasants who were frightened into a coma, so far, there have been no casualties, but the ghost has persisted for a long time, for nearly ten days, all wandering on the plains outside the town, there are more and more witnesses, and the terrifying remarks are spreading more and more, causing the whole town to be in a certain degree of panic.

That's right, this ghost shadow is the emperor of the Gaochuan Kingdom, the Void King Yu Zhang.

As a ghost in the incident, he didn't mean to scare the townspeople.

It's just that he has just received the ghost wolf soul, and he is not yet proficient, so he wants to train more.

Compared to the soul of the divine beast, the soul of the ghost wolf consumes much less spiritual power, and by absorbing the power of the soul of the ghost wolf, he also soared to the sky, promoted to the high-level level of the spirit sect, and the spiritual power storage in his body has also increased a lot.

So, he took this opportunity to keep receiving it for a long time, except for the rest time, and used a longer time to run in.

He didn't borrow any means of transportation from outside Guning City, he only kept running on the wolf's legs, and he didn't know how far he ran, maybe thousands of miles.

In the state of ghosting his whole body, Yu Zhang can ride the wind and let the natural wind carry him for a ride.

During the journey, it was all wilderness, and there was not a single figure in sight, and it was not until near this town that I saw a few peasants.

Remembering that day in the Guning City Lord's Mansion, the ghost wolf could not only pass through non-living forms such as walls, but also through living forms such as human bodies, without causing the slightest damage to the human body.

Out of an experimental attitude, Yu Chang made himself ghostly and successfully passed through the bodies of the peasants, except for scaring them a lot, but did not cause any physical damage.

Enjoying this unrestrained feeling, Yu Zhang stayed on the plains and galloped freely before entering the town.

Unexpectedly, he was mistaken for a ghost, and a psychic was sent to exorcise him.

But the spirit master they found didn't even have the level of the Spirit Sect, so how could they have a chance to catch Yu Zhang, a high-level Spirit Sect?

So, Yu Zhang took the opportunity to treat himself as a real ghost and teased them. Even the master of spiritualism could not get rid of it, and his fierce reputation as a ghost grew even stronger, so much so that it caused a lot of panic.

However, Yu Chang decided to end the storm today. He was used to being wild, but he forgot the burden on his shoulders, the task he had to complete, and after tempering the ability of the ghost wolf's soul, he knew that the time was ripe.

Yu Chang dissipated the receiving state of the ghost wolf's soul, turned into a normal and well-behaved human, and walked in the town.

He had a good ear, and he could hear a lot of conversations about ghosts along the way, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he listened to it himself.

He lamented that the human imagination is really rich, and everything that is not understood can find a way to describe and disseminate.

Yu Zhang walked on this busy street, did not stop, his target was not here, but the more distant Xicheng, as well as the imperial city.

While in Guning City, he collected some information about the Great Xia Plain, including the geographical location of the five central cities and the general distribution of forces.

The first stop of his trip was Xicheng, which was managed by the Qing clan.

The ancestors of the Qing clan were in the same vein as the royal family, but later became a prince for some reasons and were assigned to Xicheng to become a gate valve at the foot of the imperial city.

Although there is no written record of the reason for this, most people know that it is the result of the struggle for imperial power.

After arriving in Xicheng, the ancestors of the Qing clan changed their surnames and officially changed their names to Qing. After many generations of inheritance, the royal blood of the Qing clan has become weaker and weaker, but it is still the identity of the royal relatives.

In addition to the Xicheng Qing clan, the Dongcheng Bai clan, the Beicheng Zhu clan, and the Nancheng Xuan clan are all from this origin.

The four princely families, as the four royal town gate beasts, are named after the green dragon and white bone Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, guarding the four directions of the imperial city, southeast, northwest and northwest, and guarding the imperial town for generations.

In the event of a war, the four cities would bear the brunt of the impact, and the imperial city would remain unharmed, which was the absolute power of the imperial power, which made others sacrifice themselves to preserve the rights of the imperial family.

At the foot of Xicheng, there must be a gathering of masters. In order not to cause panic, Yu Chang decided not to turn into a ghost and soar with the wind, but to ride in the carriage peacefully.
