Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 227 Shifting the Blame South
Just as Gu Qing's hand was about to touch the plaque of Youjun Palace, he forced himself to pull it back.

Two ghostly figures emerged from the originally dark hall.

Compared to ordinary spirits, which are somewhat transparent and have unstable forms, these two ghosts have completely solidified souls, almost indistinguishable from real people.

He has bluish-black skin and extremely messy hair.

With protruding fangs and bulging muscles, each wielding a steel fork, they stood a full ten feet tall.

Ugly and disgusting.

It was the "Rakshasa Ghost" that Gu Qing had seen in the Demon Realm. This thing had both male and female forms. The male Rakshasa was fierce and evil, while the female Rakshasa was charming and alluring.

This is considered a type of demon that has produced many powerful individuals.

Gu Qing stopped attacking not because he was wary of their strength, but because he discovered that they possessed fully developed intelligence.

The reason they were aware of Youjun's existence was that they were not afraid.

The reason why Gu Qing was not afraid was because the ghosts here were all in the process of becoming intelligent and no highly intelligent individuals had been found. Even if there was a Netherworld Lord, he was probably born not long ago.

After only a moment's hesitation, I decided to take action.

But things are different now. The fully developed Youjun is incredibly terrifying, and the Heavenly Shuttle Robe is no longer a safe option.

Gu Qing held onto the eaves of the palace with one hand, hanging there as he listened to the conversation between the two Rakshasa demons below.

"What do you think of what Lord Ghost General just said?"

"Look? Use your eyes to look. Just guard the Youjun Palace. Our clan's grand plan cannot be lost."

The Rakshasa demon on the right has a bit of a sense of humor.

"But we haven't seen Lord Youjun for over a hundred years, what if the Hundred-Eyed Demon General...?"

“What kind of powerful being is His Highness Youjun? Although Baimu was a wild soul that became a spirit and only later submitted to His Highness, he still belongs to the Ghost Clan and cannot resist His Highness Youjun’s innate noble authority.”

above.

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes. First of all, there must be a space inside the Youjun Palace that resembles a small underworld.

Perhaps for training purposes, or perhaps for other reasons, it seems that all the highly intelligent ghosts gather inside and rarely venture out.

Only these two Rakshasa demons guarded the area. On the other hand, Youjun had not appeared in public for a hundred years, and it was a hundred-eyed demon general who was in charge of everything.

From this perspective, the scope for negotiation has expanded, making it worth trying.

However, we must also consider the consequences in advance. If the Yan Kingdom is targeted by this ghost clan, even with the protection of a super-giant magic array, it will be difficult to avoid accidents.

Yinmingyun is always in motion and generally does not leave the depths of the no-man's land, nor even go to the outer perimeter, but this is on the premise that there is no Youjun in the desolate ghost kingdom.

Once a commander is in command, changes will occur.

After all, wisdom breeds desire, let alone the inherently evil demons and monsters.

Only the Yan Kingdom never ventures out. Although the area of ​​the twelve states seems vast, it is actually just a drop in the ocean. In the vast uninhabited area, it is like a grain of sand in the sea, and the chance of being discovered without a guide is infinitesimally small.

You still need to consider the consequences when you do things.

Upon unexpectedly hearing about the new situation, Gu Qing simply fled from Yinming Cloud, estimated the movement trajectory of the Ghost Kingdom, and planted a fire seal underground every sixty or seventy miles.

They continued setting things up until their magic power was more than half depleted.

"We have a way out. If the direction we sense is correct, we can continue forward along the fire mark. It will lead either to the South China Sea or the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm."

Ghosts are enemies of the living, and demons are no exception.

There may be exceptions among lower-level ghosts, but at the level of the Netherworld Lord, who is ordained by Heaven and born in the Netherworld, they are born with the ability to control other ghosts.

This law of the underworld must be enforced.

As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. Youjun's strength also stems from the mission he carries for the underworld.

This world instinctively wants to devour everything related to "life," and Youjun is the agent derived from the origin of the Netherworld.

Every time they appear, it's a major catastrophe.

It's unclear how long this Netherworld Lord has been born in the No Man's Land... After arranging everything and restoring his magical power, Gu Qing activated the Heavenly Shuttle Robe and once again infiltrated the Desolate Ghost Kingdom. This time, his target was the plaque of the Netherworld Lord's Palace.

The two Rakshasa demons were still there, standing still like statues. Gu Qing came up above them and touched the plaque, and at that moment he had an epiphany.

This plaque is an integral part of the entire Youjun Hall!

There's no way to remove it directly.

There are two ways to get it off: one is to forcibly break it off, which is like trying to break the precious vase in half with brute force, something Gu Qing simply cannot do.

The Youjun Palace itself is definitely of the level of a magic treasure, or even a high-grade or top-grade magic treasure, only one step away from becoming a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Forcing it won't work, but you can use the same source of power to cut it down.

For example...

"The Demon-Slaying Sword requires you to earn your own food."

The Netherworld Sword flashed, and the magic-breaking artifact from the Earth Yin Willow displayed astonishing effects, its restraint on ghosts far exceeding its usual performance.

Under the same source of Netherworld power, it's not much different from cutting a piece of tofu.

The moment the plaque fell, Gu Qing put it into the Taotie head.

The Dragon Transformation Technique was activated instantly, and the Demonic Dragon Robe donned its cloak.

Evil energy filled the sky, and ghosts howled and wolves howled.

The two Rakshasa demons below were both shocked and furious, but Gu Qing only appeared once in his usual demonic form, and the fire mark he had left behind came into play.

Under the Great Fire Escape Technique, one can directly teleport through the void.

He appeared underground, fifty or sixty miles away, and then continuously activated the fire seals, constantly traversing the void. When he arrived at the last fire seal, he had already traveled tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Only then did he activate the Heavenly Shuttle Robe's effect, taking out the Myriad Miles Piercing Void Talisman and activating it directly.

When he caught his breath, he had no idea where he had gone.

at this time.

A desolate ghost kingdom.

The two Rakshasa demons looked at each other, their faces deathly pale.

"Oh no, oh no!"

"How to do?"

“I…this…”

Before they could come to any conclusions, the entire Youjun Palace began to tremble.

The Netherworld Stone, being the most supreme object, is not only the cornerstone of its internal space stability but also the chain anchoring the Cangwu Realm.

If they suddenly disappear, there are only two possible outcomes.

Otherwise, the space will completely collapse and perish!
Or be banished to the void beyond the world, thus beginning a life of wandering.

From the dark curtains of the Netherworld Palace, a large number of Rakshasa ghosts, white-robed ghosts, red-clothed ghosts, and so on rushed out. These were all pillars of the ghost race with names and surnames, and their numbers numbered at least tens of thousands.

Upon its appearance, a monstrous ghostly aura surged into the sky, shaking away much of the dark clouds, and an incomparably cold gaze fell upon the two trembling little Rakshasa.

Almost every ghost was comparable to a seventh-grade cultivator, with a chilling and ferocious aura that seemed capable of freezing everything.

Don't wait for them to speak.

Another ghost flew out of the hall. It was a centipede with a body that stretched out of nowhere. Its tiny, delicate legs kept moving and making a creaking sound. Each segment of its carapace had a scarlet eye.

It is the Hundred-Eyed Ghost General, a superior wild beast that was captured by Youjun after its death and transformed into his mount and capable assistant.

Strength must be at least at the middle level of the sixth rank.
