The Xuan Emperor army let the Hades rest for a full two quarters of an hour, and then began to urge them to quickly ride the beast soul and fly towards the top of the mountain.

Mountains full of green bamboos, lush ghost trees and strange flowers, and clouds and mist surrounding the mountains and forests, flew quickly under their feet.

The overcast light of the sun above the clouds made several of the Immortal Kings a little dizzy.

They had no intention of admiring the scenery passing by, so they could only grasp the reins, lie on the back of the beast soul, and listen to the sound of the wind in their ears and narrow their eyes slightly.

After another quarter of an hour, they finally came to the main peak of Luo Yu Mountain, and stopped in front of the palace gate.

The palace slaves who had already been waiting at the door greeted them and helped the Hades who were finally a little comfortable, but were a little dizzy because of the rapid flight all the way, to help the beast souls.

The head of the palace slave walked to the Xuan Emperor Army and stood still, shook the dust in his hand, and said to the commander: "Come back, military masters, and leave the rest to the minions." ”。

"Hmm. The commander nodded, and led his men to turn around and ride the beast, heading down the mountain the way they came, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the sea of clouds below the main peak, and disappeared without a trace.

"All the Hades have worked hard all the way! Please come with the minions, Your Majesty is already waiting for you in the Hall of Soul Destroying. After saying this, the palace slave master said this with a sharp voice, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the palace.

The five Hades looked at each other for a while, and then followed.

The colorful glaze, tall and straight golden pillars, beams made of strange wood, and good white jade floor tiles, as well as the strange flowers and plants planted in the deep palace, the strange stones used in the decoration and the ghost cars and birds raised in the palace, all kinds of strange beasts and strange birds with bright and bright feathers, make the Hades dazzled. They were also once the ghosts of the rich and rival country in the underworld, living in a splendid palace, but compared to the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace in front of them, the wonders and splendor in their palace are really not worth mentioning. And those prosperous and beautiful scenery and extremely luxurious buildings also made them forget the dizziness and discomfort for a while.

As the palace slaves walked and watched for a while, passing through the majestic halls, the Hades came to the east of the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin.

The mountain spring gushed out a pool of cyan lotus flowers, and the pool of turquoise and clear water stretched in front of them. The five-colored koi fish in the pond swim with the waves, in the middle of the mountain spring gushing place, there is a bronze unicorn statue with its head and hooves standing on the water surface, spraying water from the long horn of the sky, sprinkling to the eight directions around the unicorn statue. According to the light of the cloudy sun, the seven-colored halo around the unicorn statue is blurred.

The clear water of the pond flows out along the canal that extends from the left and right sides, and there will be a base about one zhang high, built with blue bricks, and surrounded by an octagonal pedestal with carved stone strips.

On the top of the steps, there is a large hall with octagonal heavy eaves and pointed style, and there are eight sides of the corridor. The roof of the hall is paved with yellow glazed tiles inlaid with green trimming, in the middle is the top of the phase wheel flame beads made of large pieces of blood jade, and there are eight soul-snatching iron chains around the treasure top, each of which is connected with the majestic Yin Ghost Lux sculpture that stands proudly on the eight warped horns.

With just one glance, this majestic hall is enough to make the five Hades kings feel solemn and solemn in their hearts.

The palace slaves let the Hades enjoy the beautiful scenery for a moment before leading them to the stone bridge over the canal and heading towards the Temple of Soul Destroying surrounded by the canal.

When they came to the door, several ghosts stood in front of the door, and the palace slave master said loudly behind the closed door: "Your Majesty, the five Hades Kings of Fenglin Continent have arrived. ”。

"Xuan. The voice of Emperor Xudu resounded in the back hall of the door.

The forbidden army guarding the door answered, and pushed open the heavy palace gate together.

The dim and gloomy Soul Destroying Palace, with the slowly opening door of the temple, unfolded in front of the eyes of the five Hades King. With the door completely open, they stepped over the high vermilion lacquer threshold and walked slowly into the temple.

When they all entered the temple, the guards of the gate joined forces to close the door. The last rays of cloudy light dissipated as the completely closed hall dissipated, and the hall was completely enveloped in dim shadows.

The cold suddenly rose, and the yin qi of the forest wandered close to the ground, and on the golden pillar on the top of the temple, the pattern of tens of millions of little ghosts carved became a little hideous in the shadows.

The Hades stood still in the middle of the hall where there was only Emperor Xudu and their ghostless halls, and their hearts couldn't help but chuckle.

The rich yin qi in the hall made them feel comfortable, but the fierce murderous aura revealed in the yin qi made them shudder. And the source of these murderous qi is in the body of Emperor Xudu sitting on the golden lacquer throne of a hundred ghosts and thousands of beasts in front of the screen in the depths of the main hall.

In the face of several Hades of the Emperor Xudu, he didn't have time to look closely at the lifelike ghost patterns carved on the surrounding golden pillars, and he was not in the mood to take a good look at the main hall, the upper part was embedded with the other side of the checkered pattern, the lower part was embossed with ghost patterns, and the joints were equipped with gilded copper leaf doors and windows engraved with dragon patterns. Hurriedly put together a whole robe, bent his knees, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "The guilty minister knocks to see Your Majesty." ”。

When Emperor Xudu heard this, he even leaned forward slightly. The face that stretched out from the darkness was covered with gloomy iron blue, and a pair of eyes full of murderous intent appeared in the darkness, looking at the Hades who were kneeling on the ground and pressing their foreheads tightly against the cold gold bricks in front of them, and after snorting coldly, they asked in a deep voice: "Do you still know that you are criminal ministers?"

His voice was not loud, but when it reached the ears of the Hades Kings, it was like a thunderstorm in the Nine Heavens, which frightened the bodies of several Hades kings, and the fear in their hearts increased instead of decreasing.

None of the Hades dared to raise their heads, nor did they dare to answer, only the hot sweat oozing from their foreheads continued to drip down, gradually soaking the gold bricks in front of them.

"Do you know how many troops and financial resources the Imperial Court has expended to quell your divisions and rebellions?" asked the Emperor after a pause, the Yin Wind swirling through the hall with a long, high-pitched whistling sound.

When the Hades heard this, they did not change color, and their bodies trembled even more, and even their breath trembled.

"You are simply innocent!" Emperor Xudu, who waited for a while, and still did not see them answer, gritted his teeth fiercely, and blurted out angrily.

The murderous aura in the air was even more fierce; King Ma Shou was the first to react, this time he entered the capital to face the saints, but it was just an excuse for the Emperor Xudu to kill them. That's why they weren't allowed to bring guards to show their sincerity.

As soon as the thought arises, remorse has been born.

Emperor Xudu suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a sharp mysterious force shot out from his sleeves. Under the wind blowing, it suddenly turned into a crescent-shaped light, and quickly slashed towards the necks of the five Hades who raised their heads and their eyes were full of consternation.

In an instant, ghost blood spurted, and pungent blood spread throughout the hall.

The hatred in his eyes faded, and his face returned to a flat face, Emperor Xudu stood up, slowly walked past the body of the Hades who fell in a pool of blood, stepped on the ghost blood flowing on the ground, and left a series of eye-catching bloody footprints behind him, and came to stand behind the door. Then there was another flick of the sleeves, and a fresh breeze suddenly blew open the heavy and thick door.

When the gate was completely open, the five ghost heads that spun in mid-air and flew for a moment fell to the ground. The hall resounded with the dull sound of five heavy objects falling to the ground......

The sky was dark, and the big lonely city was a little quieter than during the day.

By this half a month, the Jiuyou National Army had not only rebuilt all the destroyed fortifications, but even the order in the city had been restored to normal, all walks of life had resumed production, and the ghost people had also settled down in peace and contentment.

The corpses and souls in the city have all sincerely surrendered to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, after all, no one wants to fight every day, and then be busy with the heavy taxes after the war.

In such a good situation, Xiao Shizhu did not rush to send troops. Now, the plan he originally formulated to either not fight, or to fight and take down the Xia Zhou Kingdom and the Corpse Country together is no longer useful.

The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and when the combined army of the Xudu Army and the ghost countries of Dongyi Continent appeared under Manjiang City, they had already messed up his original plan.

At present, the Nine Shadows Kingdom is in Dongyizhou, although it has destroyed the Xiazhou Kingdom and the Mao Republic of China, but it is still surrounded by strong enemies. Not to mention the Black Tooth Country of the Corpse Country, there are millions of heroes and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Fusang Country in the distance. To the east and northeast of Aoki County, there are also the Kingdom of Shake and Razawa, which recently withdrew from neutrality and joined the arms of the Northern Yin Dynasty, as well as the Flying Head Kingdom, which is composed of Falling Oni who can completely separate their heads from their necks from their bodies. What Xiao Shizhu can do now is just encroach step by step.

First hold the south of the country of Bishu to prevent the enemy from advancing at the same time, the city of Xiazhou country is bounded by Manjiang City, and divided into two counties, north and south. Manjiang County in the north and Langya County in the south, stabilize the twenty cities in the two counties as soon as possible, and then continue to conquer other ghost countries in Dongyizhou after establishing a stable rear.

In this way, Xiao Shizhu also gained a little leisure in the big lonely city.

The sky was dark, and in the small courtyard in front of the back hall of the Chenghuang Mansion, the palace people had already lit the stone lamps on the side of the road. The ghostly fire flickered softly in the stone lamp, bringing a flickering shadow in the courtyard.

After patrolling the city, Xiao Shizhu stood by the pool in the corner with a piece of bloody beast soul raw meat in his hand. Without hesitation, he threw the flesh and blood in his hand and played in the pool.

Raw meat fell into the water, at the bottom of the fish pond made of this oval pebble base, suddenly there were two fish that were often one foot, and the fish with the body of the dragon head suddenly floated up, probed out of the water and pulled up the splash, biting the piece of raw meat left and right, and competing for food.

The water splashes and ripples. I saw that these two fish competing for raw meat were happy, and a golden-scaled gourd tail, which was male. The other is a female, with a silver-scaled hibiscus tail. When fighting for food, the golden and silver shadows in the splash appeared, which was very beautiful.

A piece of flesh with blood was torn to pieces by these two ferocious fish in less than a moment. Then the minced meat was swallowed by the fish one by one.

Xiao Shizhu has been standing by the pool, looking at the well-fed fish, slowly diving into the bottom of the pool, and after the water surface returned to calm again, he still had no intention of moving away.

It was already dark, and only the faint light of the ghost fire in the stone lamp in the courtyard illuminated a few feet around the stone lamp, and the rest of the place was shrouded in darkness.

Xiao Shizhu was about to turn around and leave, when he saw his righteous son Shi Cassia and strode towards the small courtyard.

Shi Cianming strode to Xiao Shizhu's side and stood still, and after a salute, he leaned into Xiao Shizhu's ear and whispered: "Lord, Lord Lin Cong has already sent the secret envoy of Youxiong Kingdom, and now the female ghost who claims to be a female demon and the secret envoy she brought are placed in the front hall, can I call you now? Or do you arrange for them to stay first, and meet them another day?"

A few days ago, Lin Cong sent a fungus person to send a secret report to Xiao Shizhu. said that it was clear that he was a woman, but the silk book that the other party carried with him had never been shown to Lin Cong, saying that only Xiao Shizhu could read it, so Lin Cong wanted to send the girl to the big lonely city and let Xiao Shizhu decide for himself.

Now that you're here, let's see it. Xiao Shizhu also wanted to know what was the content of the silk book brought by Nulu?

"See you now. With that, Xiao Shizhu paced towards the back hall.
