Chapter 427 Enthusiastic
Chapter 427 Enthusiastic
As time passed day by day, in the blink of an eye, ten days had arrived.
In the early morning of that day, because night is the time when ghosts are active, in the dark night, a large number of ghosts came out of the border of the Xisha Kingdom and swarmed towards the border between the two countries - the Yellow Sand Belt.
Everyone wants to come and see the wonders of today.
The big ghosts were wrapped in thick dark clouds and floating in the sky, waiting patiently.
The little ghosts cleverly hid under the dark clouds, which made it convenient for them to watch the fun and avoid the scorching sun after dawn.
For a moment, in the direction of the Xisha Kingdom in the yellow sand belt, there were gusts of cold wind, the sound of ghosts howling, and the sky was even darker than the night.
Those who knew each other gathered in groups of three or four, whispering.
"Humph, I think that Great Zhou monk is too bold to challenge Lord Nuo Mo. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
"That's right! I heard that the Lord of Yudu Mountain, whose cultivation has not even reached the Dongxu level, is so bold! In my opinion, there is no need for Lord Nuo Mo to step in. The ghost kings here can deal with him!"
"Oh, I heard that this person said this in order to protect her disciples. I think that this time, not only can her disciples not be protected, but she herself may not be able to protect herself either!"
"You can't say that. I heard that this person is quite capable. Since he dares to challenge me, he must have the confidence. Otherwise, he can't be crazy because of the loss, right?"
The little devils mocked, sneered, doubted, or refuted, expressing their own opinions freely.
In mid-air, the ghost kings heard the discussion of the little ghosts below and just laughed it off.
Are you kidding? There is no need for our own Numa God to show up. With eight Yang Gods and four Dongxu beings present, there is no way the other party can gain any benefit even if he is the leader of a sect!
The ghosts thought so and looked towards the surrounding area from afar, looking relaxed and expectant.
-
at the same time.
Shadu Mountain, in the Nuomo Temple.
The Ghost Weaver gently helped the man beside her with his clothes. While busy with her hands, she asked softly, "Master Nuo Mo, the negotiation that the Great Zhou monk mentioned today..."
Hearing this, the man said casually: "Go, why not? It's been so many years, who dares to talk to me like this? I want to see what confidence this person has!"
As he spoke, he seemed to think this matter was too bizarre and interesting, and a hint of anticipation flashed across the man's one eye.
But at this moment, a stinging pain that seemed to tear his soul apart suddenly rose from his other eye, causing him to subconsciously cover his eye patch with the pain and frown.
"Lord Nuo Mo!" the Ghost Weaver Girl exclaimed.
"It's okay." But he saw a thick white light rising from the man's hand and pressing it into his eyes through the blindfold. The stinging pain that was cracking bones and peeling marrow gradually weakened to a level that he could bear.
"Huh~" The man breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were filled with a hint of gloom.
-
Yellow sand belt.
As time was running out, the buzzing noises gradually died down, and all kinds of strange-looking ghosts poked their heads out and looked towards the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Finally, the hour of Mao arrived.
The ghosts who were still chatting and laughing looked over, only to find that the tall and thick city gate was not opened today!
But the next second, he suddenly realized it.
Yes, today all the ghosts from the Xisha Kingdom have appeared, waiting in the yellow sand belt. In order to maintain stability, the Great Zhou Kingdom must have had a plan in place long ago.
How could the city gate, through which ordinary people used to come in and out, be opened at this time?
Just when I was thinking of this, I saw that on the other side, the ten-foot-high city gate that served as the entrance and exit for the monks was opened!
next moment.
Inside the city gate, a large number of cultivators swarmed out, some controlling their air, some controlling their swords, and some controlling the clouds.
Figures came one after another, colorful lights flashed across the air, and then all stopped on the other side of the yellow sand belt.
Up and down, there was a huge momentum and flags waving.
The relief and smiles on the ghosts' faces froze.
It turned into solemnity and fear.
I saw a large number of monks, some standing on the ground, some in the sky, some chatting and laughing, some waiting quietly, or pointing at the dark clouds in the distance. It was very lively.
"Wow, so many people came today!"
"Hahaha, it looks like everyone likes to join in the fun!"
"Look, those ghosts arrived earlier than us!"
"Hiss, even Lord Tu, the palace attendant of the Anxi Army, is here!"
"It should be Lord Tu's clone! Not only that, you see, even Lord Meng, the attendant of the Annan Army Palace, and Lord Zhuang of Mozhou are here too!"
"Hey, look over there, the leader of Yunzhou Taixuan Sect is here too!"
"Oh my God! So many powerful people have come!"
In front of the crowd, Zhuang Xian looked at the monks of all sizes around him, feeling the faint and ethereal aura coming from the direction of the Great Zhou. He couldn't help but gently stroke his gray beard, smiling faintly and nodding slightly.
-
The memory goes back to ten days ago.
Above the clouds.
"May I ask Your Excellency, this leverage..." Zhuang Xian inquired.
But the woman said in a gentle voice: "Nuomo Ghost King controls the territory of a country, and has many ghosts under his command, big and small, as numerous as stars. In terms of power, I cannot defeat him. Therefore, I need to 'take advantage of the situation'. If I magnify this matter, I will have a fighting chance!"
At this point, the woman smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuang, what do you think will happen if I spread the news that I am negotiating with the Nuo Mo Ghost King?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Xian was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"This has never happened before! There will surely be many curious people coming here!"
Having said this, he seemed to associate something with something and suddenly realized something.
"Yes, with so many cultivators gathering in one place, the imperial court will certainly pay more attention to it!" At this point, his eyes lit up, "So, in the public eye, this is a matter of great Zhou's reputation, the imperial court will definitely not stand idly by!"
He immediately gave a thumbs up, "High!"
The woman then waved her hand, and the surrounding clouds and mist gathered together, roughly forming the shape of a map.
"Mr. Zhuang, please look. This place is the Great Zhou, and these two are the locations of the Xisha Kingdom and the Ghost Kingdom. The large cave above is Purgatory." She pointed on the cloud map.
"Although the rulers of Xisha Country and Ghost Country are both ghosts, it is known that the two do not get along. And this land of purgatory, although the strongest among the three, has almost no contact with the mortal world, not to mention that Yunzhou is watching."
Zhuang Xian nodded.
Indeed, among the four, Great Zhou is the largest, followed by Purgatory, and the other two are weaker in comparison.
When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains. If the ghosts of Xisha Kingdom really dare to launch an attack on the monks of Dazhou, regardless of whether it will succeed or not, the ghost kingdom will definitely have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
As the mastermind behind a country, Nuo Mo Ghost King would certainly not act so rashly.
In addition, with the huge Zhou Dynasty watching behind them, it would be even less likely that war would break out.
When the "power" of both parties is roughly equal, there are conditions for negotiation. And there is no need to worry about a war breaking out after the talks fail.
Zhuang Xian pondered over it and felt that this matter was feasible to a certain extent, but he also felt that something was missing.
"That being said, I still feel that this is too risky..."
But the woman smiled and said, "So, we still need this second step... Mr. Zhuang, please take a look."
After a moment, Zhuang Xian's eyes suddenly widened, his face looking horrified.
