Chapter 628: The Fate of a Fish

Walking in the dry hall, Wu Gen is like a wizard, constantly letting those corpses that have died and stood up die again. After experiencing all kinds of desperate domains, these hideous corpses and floating dead qi are like flowers and plants on the side of the road to him, which is nothing more ordinary.

After searching around, he didn't find Ji Xin's whereabouts, and he climbed up his face anxiously. Although he is not afraid of the death gas in the city, this is at the cost of releasing his own death energy to suppress it.

If by noon the city is getting thicker and thicker, he needs to release more of his own dead energy. It's like walking a tightrope, and if you exceed a certain threshold, Wu Jian is not sure if he can still maintain his sanity.

Once he sinks into it, I am afraid that he will become the biggest demon in the city, waiting for someone to save him or devour the lives of those who enter the city.

I don't know how long I walked, Wu Jian walked to the west of the main hall, jumped on the palace wall, and quickly walked on it. Suddenly, around a corner, Wu Gan found that the dead air here was even stronger, as if ink had been dripped into a place of turbid water.

Jumping off the palace wall, Wu Gan tried to dig the ground here with a broken knife, turned over the thick soil, and a stone slab more than two feet thick appeared. Lifting the stone slab, Wu Gen gasped, and there were corpses inside.

The upper bodies of the corpses were snapped back from the waist, and a long nail engraved with runes was driven into the gaping mouth, nailing the broken bodies in two.

Needless to say, this is the formation of the so-called Gathering Evil Array, and it is these corpses that are not at peace even after death that have triggered the formation that covers the entire city.

It is conceivable that there must have been many such corpses in the city. Looking at the clothes of these corpses, Wu Yan suddenly understood why the death qi in the northwest was relatively weak.

These people also have the insignia of each family on them, and they should be the people of all ethnic groups killed in the Great Purge of Ji Xin. These people were transported from the direction of Hanlu City in the east, perhaps because there were not enough people, or maybe the people who transported the corpses were lazy, and there were naturally fewer people in the west.

Sighing, Wu Gen continued to move forward. Gradually, he noticed that the dead qi around him was thickening, because the dead qi in his body was rapidly pouring out.

Although he couldn't see the sun in the sky in the city, Wu knew that it should be getting closer and closer to noon.

With a deep sigh of relief, Wu Jian quickened his pace, and if he couldn't find Ji Xin again, he was ready to withdraw from this dead city.

When he arrived at the location in the north of the city, Wu Yan suddenly found that there was an altar in front of him, and the dead air around it was obviously much thinner.

With a move in his heart, Wu Yan accelerated and ran over. On the high altar, there was a man sitting cross-legged in the center. Holding a black sword in both hands, the blade emitted a faint glow, enveloping the man's body.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wu Qian fell on the altar. When he saw the other party's face clearly, Wu Gan's body suddenly shook, this person knew himself, and he was one of the old men he met when he caught the cold fish in Lushan.

took out the paper on his body, Wu Gen carefully looked at the person opposite, and sure enough, there were seven points of similarity. This old man, whose eyes are closed and who can't see whether he is alive or dead, should be the head of the Ji family, the lord of the Iron Hand Province, and the future lord of the Ji country, Ji Xin.

Judging by his appearance, the flesh and blood on his body are still there, and it should not have been completely eroded by the dead air. Looking around, Wu Yan suddenly wondered why there was so little dead air here.

This altar is perennial to heaven and earth, and it is impregnated with a lot of yang energy, which can resist the invasion of death qi. And the sword in his hand is also very miraculous, and it can even prevent it from being disturbed by those resentful spirits.

"Lord, Ji Xin." Wu Yan called softly, carefully restraining his dead breath, and stabbed the other party's body with a broken knife.

After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes. A violent aura came to his face, this was a pair of violent eyes, the eyes were full of bloodshots, but the pupils were turning wildly, like a whirlpool formed by turbid water.

Wu Yan vigilantly retreated to the side of the altar, this person had obviously lost his mind, if he was Ji Xin, I was afraid that he would slap himself to death with one palm.

Plopped, Ji Xin's body fell to the ground, his mouth let out a low roar, and his hands kept grasping the solid ground, leaving deep scratches.

Obviously, even if the other party has a body of cultivation, after resisting the dead qi for such a long time, he has reached the realm of running out of oil and lamps.

Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked in front of the other party, and squatted down carefully, "You are the lord, I am Wu Gen, if you still have your senses, you might as well raise your head."

After a long time, Ji Xin finally stopped struggling, and sat up with a black sword with trembling hands, "Wu Gan......"

The voice was hoarse, like a door shaft that had not been oiled for many years.

"Exactly, I'm here to save you." Taking advantage of the other party's soberness, Wu Jian hurriedly expressed his intentions.

Looking at the black qi around Wu Gan, Ji Xin's eyes widened more and more, "You...... dead or alive."

"Of course I'm alive, but if I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll die. So." Wu Yan paused, "I'm going to tie you down and take you out of here."

"Why did you save me, and who did it to me?" Ji Xin's speech finally became fluent.

"Your eldest son, Ji Chen, wants to take your life. You know the cause and effect in it. As for why I saved you, of course, it was for the sake of your second eldest Ji Ye, who made him my brother. Now, he is also imprisoned in Zhaoqin City, if you don't go out, Ji's family will be finished, and Ji Ye will not be killed by his brother and sister-in-law or imprisoned in the dark room for the rest of his life." Wu Yan looked at the other party coldly, but he didn't expect Ji Xin, who was known as the violent tiger, to have already seen it.

"My body is running out of oil, and I can't resist this dead air. And my sanity is clear and chaotic, and I am afraid that it will hurt you by mistake, how to pass through the city." Knowing Wu Gan's intentions, Ji Xin directly explained his current situation.

Wu Yan took the box from his back and shivered to untie the cotton cloth on it. When the box was opened, it was a small vertical cold fish.

"Eat this fish and I'll drag you out when you're frozen firm." Wu Gan pushed the box forward.

Looking at the cold fish on the ground, Ji Xin smiled bitterly, "I gave you a fish that day, but I didn't expect it to be today. Isn't it destiny to drink and peck at it?"

"I'm sorry, I went in a hurry, I only grabbed a small one, and there was no Neidan." Wu Qian pointed to the small fish on the ground.

"Enough." Himeya grabbed the fish and stuffed it into his mouth, and soon a fish was in his stomach.

After a while, a thin layer of ice appeared on Ji Xin's body, and before he lost consciousness, he pointed to the black sword in front of him and said, "This sword is called Hei Qi, it is the ancestral heirloom of the Ji family, and it must not be lost here. If I die, I will give my sword to Ye'er."

Wu Yan nodded, stepped forward and hung the sword at his waist. Plopped, Ji Xin finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground, his body was wrapped in a layer of ice.

Taking out a cowhide bag, Wu Yan carefully stuffed Ji Ye into it with a scabbard. I didn't dare to carry him out directly, I couldn't bear the cold of this cold fish, and if Ji Xinruo was contaminated with the dead air on his body, then he didn't need to save it today.

Tethering a rope to the bag, Wu Gan's hand shook, and a ball of dead air floated around the bag. Walking in the city in this way, you can avoid being harmed by the gathering array. Look at the book

Looking around, Wu Yan didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran out of the city with the bag. The further he went, Wu Jian felt that the dead qi in his body was surging outward, knowing that the dead qi in the city was being squeezed by the sun, and he couldn't care whether Ji Xin would be bumped anymore, so he activated the magic technique and ran quickly towards the outside of the city.

His feet landed on the city wall, looking at the ring with his left hand turning faster and faster, Wu Yan gasped for breath, kicked hard, and his body jumped out of black qi.

Under the dazzling sunlight, Wu Yan threw Ji Xin out. There was no time to find out whether it was alive or dead, so he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands flying up and down, urging the town to suppress his own dead energy. After a stick of incense, the dead qi in the body finally calmed down.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking back at the dead city, Wu Yan shook his head slightly, with this city alone, Ji Chen should also die.

Due to the hurry of coming out, but at this time, it was to the north of the city, Wu Yan pulled the rope and dragged Ji Xin to the northwest.

A figure swept in the distance, and the water fell from the moon to Wu Gan's side, and he glanced up and down, "Are you okay?"

"Okay, very." Wu Yan showed his big white teeth.

"Let's go." Shui Congyue grabbed the rope, held Wu Yan under his arm with one hand, and quickly returned to the place where the shuttle was parked.

"The owner of the village, the governor ......" Everyone gathered around, all of them showing joy. Seeing that the sun was almost overhead, he was worried when he finally saw Wu Gan return safely.

"Let's go, return to Mt. Ryosha." Wu Gen jumped on the shuttle, although this trip did not rescue Ji Ye, but it was also a great gain to be able to bring Ji Xin back. With this person in the dreadnought army, if he uses troops against Ji Chen, he will also occupy the moral high ground.

The shuttle landed on the Broken Sky Peak, Wu Gan didn't want Ji Xin to enter the Evening Ridge, and there was water watching from the moon, in case his body recovered, it would be good to have a restraining person.

The doctor in the army rushed over and carefully removed the ice from Ji Xinhua's body, and gave him an elixir to ward off the cold.

While Ji Xin was still unconscious, Wu Qian sat in Shui Congyue's mansion and asked Hu Jia and the others to rush here to discuss the next plan.

Soon, several major generals arrived at the place in a hurry. Waiting for Hu Jia to arrive, Wu Jian got bad news head-on.

Ji Yan is gone.

"As soon as you left, Ji Yan said that she was unwell and wanted to rest, and in the evening, the maid reported that she was gone. I sent people to look for her, but they didn't find her, and she must have left the mountain." Hu Jia looked frustrated, without Ji Yan, the dreadnought army would have one less means to fight against Ji Chen.

After all, Ji Xin's body was there, and Ji Ye was not rescued, so who was the banner to fight against Ji Chen. According to the original plan, the dreadnought army was ready to send troops under the banner of Ji Yan in the name of rebellion, but now that the main master is not there, won't he become a rebel. I just hope that Ji Xin can wake up sooner, and there will be a deterrent to the people of the Ji family.

"Send someone to look for it again, Yang Zheng, and launch the shadows of Cold Land City to see if Ji Yan runs back." Wu Yan was also anxious, in case something happened to Ji Yan, how would he explain to Ji Ye, and Shui Congyue......

Secretly glancing at Shui Congyue sitting on the chair, Wu Yan said loudly: "Don't care about Ji Yan's affairs first, now that Ji Chen is in charge of the Ji family, everything has not been straightened out, and our army just took the opportunity to go on a northern expedition. I intend that the whole army should hurry up and make preparations to attack the men and horses of Nie Bi in front of him with heavy troops, and open the passage to Hanlu City. In this battle, Captain Shui is the vanguard, and all the armies are advancing together, so they must be ruthless and fast, and defeat the Nie Bi Department in one fell swoop."

"What should Ji Xin do, he is not awake yet, what did Ji Zhen say there. If we don't see Ji Xin, I'm afraid he won't be facing us." Yang Zheng asked with some concern.

"Leave him alone, stay here." Wu Yan waved his hand down, "You take the Hei Qi Sword to find Ji Zhen, when our army attacks Nie Bibu, be sure to hold him back."

Seeing that Wu Gan had made up his mind, everyone received the order and began to prepare separately. For a time, the Liangsha Mountain was full of soldiers and horses, and the carts transporting grain rushed to the outside of the mountain.

On this day, Wu Gen was about to move to the right army camp of Chiyan Peak, when someone suddenly reported that Ji Xin woke up.
