Chapter 203 Underworld 13
Chapter 203 Underworld 13
"With such a huge audience, the city lord's cultivation increased in a short period of time. As for the wife he was going to marry, her origins were a mystery, and even Hades kept silent about it."
"The fact that she was attacked by someone shows that she has met her doom. As for who did it, it's hard to say. It's probably those ghosts."
Dogleg B: "Doesn't this have anything to do with the new city lord?"
The red-robed steward said, "Why not? This new city lord's fortune is rising quickly, and the way he gains power is through those dramas. Those dramas are mostly about love and romance, so they must have formed a peach blossom evil, which is specifically designed to suppress peach blossoms."
Dog Leg Armor: "This fiancée is really unlucky. I heard that she saved the city lord's life, but now she has been killed innocently."
The red-robed steward extended his hand and gave the little ghost a big bag: "Don't talk nonsense, karma will come true. You have seen those who are in the eighteen levels of hell."
Seeing that the younger brothers were obediently listening to his instructions, he also gave them some sweet treats: "I heard from Lord Hades that the power of reincarnation has increased. Don't be complacent. Do your job well and earn more merits. Then you can ascend to become an immortal in the future."
Dog Leg Armor: "Is our Pluto an immortal?"
The red-robed steward said, "Don't talk nonsense. Our Hades is the god in charge of the underworld. His real subordinates are the divine soldiers and generals. We, the officials in charge of the underworld, are subordinate to the underworld. We are just minor officials in the underworld and are not considered the direct descendants of the Hades. You must practice well."
These people really didn't know these secrets, and the rest of the journey was very quiet. Qiuqiu had long since escaped from these ghost messengers and wanted to go back to the place where Yuanyuan was assassinated.
Based on his remaining memories, Qiuqiu finally found an open city that did not belong to the Eighteen Cities - Licheng. It was indeed very close to the Forgetful River. Yuanyuan's cave was on the mountainside northeast of Licheng. There were ghost soldiers patrolling around the cave. Qiuqiu took the opportunity to sneak in and carefully check the situation of the protective formation.
Qiuqiu came from the world of cultivation and had seen a lot of things. She speculated three reasons for this situation: the first was that the core of the formation was mastered; the second was that the person had been hiding in the dark like herself; the third and most likely possibility was that the formation was broken with a formation-breaking cone.
All you need is an immortal-grade array-breaking cone to freely enter and exit arrays below the immortal level.
To put it more clearly, the formation is an energy shield supported by energy, equivalent to a shield, and the formation-breaking cone is like a spearhead. The immortal spearhead can easily penetrate the defense of the ordinary formation barrier, just like a steel needle easily penetrates cotton cloth.
Now we need to check which forces have the magical weapon called the Formation Breaking Cone.
There are all kinds of wonders in the world. He has his own space and also got the Xuanxi Temple, which is a comprehensive storage cave. He has checked the sealed weapons depot and found many magical weapons in it.
The small space explored by the white-faced ghost and the red-clothed female ghost not only nurtured a branch of the origin tree, but also supported an extinct ancient medicinal garden.
Therefore, it is possible for other cultivators to obtain divine artifacts or immortal artifacts in special secret realms. In addition, immortals from the upper realm often go down to the underworld to transcend tribulations, so there is a high possibility that they will be rewarded with a low-grade immortal artifact.
Qiuqiu decided to show up and communicate with the Lord of the Eighteenth City, as her own abilities were limited.
Qiuqiu was also worried that the city lord would think that she had directly extinguished Yuanyuan's soul fire in order to merge the two souls, causing Yuanyuan to disappear completely. However, she felt that such an incredible thing would not happen. In this underworld, Qiuqiu seemed to do everything without thinking.
When Qiuqiu returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he was shocked to hear that a force wanted to form an alliance with the City Lord. How stupid was this? The City Lord was still looking for the murderer who killed his wife, and here came a ghost to take advantage. It seems that once you become a ghost, everyone's brains don't work anymore!
Qiuqiu was hiding in the corner of the hall, just in time to witness a farce. The new city lord sitting at the upper seat had a dark face and was about to kill a ghost, while a skinny old man was sitting at the lower seat, chattering incessantly about promoting his own eldest daughter.
"Our Li family is a large family, and we are also of royal descent. Xixi is beautiful and talented, but your fiancée has already... Oh, we are also very sorry. Isn't it just fate that we are not together? We can be considered a strong alliance... You are new to the position now, and you have no tricks to use under your command. If you marry Xixi, all the masters of our family will be at your disposal. Blah blah blah..."
The city lord finally couldn't help himself and slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, shouting to the supervisor, "Show the guest out."
There were only two people left in the hall, the city lord and his adopted son: "Could it be them?"
The city lord said: "It doesn't seem likely that he is so obviously stupid. We can investigate whether there is some force behind this."
The adopted son calmed himself down and announced his decision: "If you can find out the cause of Aunt Yuan's death, I will be reincarnated."
The city lord looked deeply at his adopted son. "It's up to you to decide. My cultivation level increased dramatically because of my willpower, which is even less powerful than the power of faith. This kind of willpower is very occasional and not a long-term solution. It would be best to send you to reincarnation while my power and fortune are at their peak. Alas, the power of merit is still the most useful."
After hearing their analysis, Qiuqiu immediately followed the skinny old man and the silly little girl behind the old man.
Arriving at the Li family compound, the old man left the little girl behind and went to a secret room. He knocked three long and one short signals outside, entered, and saw a female fairy making tea.
The female fairy said: "Mr. Li, please sit down. This is the fairy-grade cloud tea." Then she handed the old man a cup.
Old Man Li was not at all reckless in front of the City Lord and did not read his expression. He was humble, polite, smart and capable.
He picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and replied, "When the new city lord heard my intentions, he was very angry, but he still managed to maintain a basic level of rationality and didn't care that much about his fiancée. If I can get other forces to come out and stir up trouble, there's a good chance of success."
The fairy looked at the teacup and thought deeply: "I must succeed. I absolutely cannot fail."
The teacup in his hand was crushed into dust: "I'm going to trouble you, Mr. Li."
Qiuqiu hid in a corner and observed the reaction of the fairy. The more he watched, the weirder it seemed to him. This fairy was a psychopath, staring at the portrait of the city lord in a daze.
Finally, he muttered, "Si Si, you can only be mine!" The voice was unspeakably soft, but Qiuqiu could hear a sense of madness and distortion in it.
In the following days, Elder Li would often report which forces wanted to form an alliance through marriage with the new city lord.
After Elder Li left, the female fairy would become crazy and ferocious: "Those bitches still want to snatch Si Si from me, are they worthy? Si Si can only be mine. Mine..." There were many similar paranoid soliloquies.
After observing for many days, Qiuqiu had a bold guess that this female fairy was a paranoid with inner demons, and she had a crush on the city lord, whom she called Sisi.
