Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 136 Knock on the door
Three thousand miles southwest of Qingyun, in the middle and upper sections of the Huqi Mountains, is the headquarters of the Ghost King Sect.

Perhaps all the people in this group were born in the year of the rat.

They don't like to live in decent houses, but they don't hesitate to spend manpower to hollow out the mountains.

An intricate network of passages and stone chambers were built in it for hiding soldiers, practicing skills, performing martial arts, or providing living quarters.

A great mountain was dug into coal.

The depth of the pitch-black corridor connects to the core part of the entire mountain.

It turned out to be a pool of blood, four hundred feet wide, with four stone pillars in the middle connected by iron chains.

In the middle of the four stone pillars, there is an ancient bronze tripod with four legs and two ears.

About five meters high, the tripod is engraved with densely packed and indistinguishable ancient inscriptions, vaguely forming the pattern of a devil's mask.

The Ghost King was talking to a man in black with a black robe covering his face.

Suddenly I heard footsteps, turned around and saw Qinglong Youji coming with me.

"Have you arranged everything on Liubo Mountain?" asked the Ghost King.

Youji nodded.

"Biyao led the vanguard seven days ago. I guess they have arrived by now. They should be laying the foundation for the formation."

You Ji said, and brought up another matter:
"This morning, Bai Duzi from the Wan Du Sect sent a letter to urge us to leave. He hopes that the Sect Master will leave as soon as possible so that he will be under less pressure."

The Ghost King laughed when he heard this:
"That dwarf is so silly and cute. He was sold, but he was still counting money so enthusiastically."

The Ghost King thought about it and asked Youji to start recording:
"Write a letter for me and have the messenger take it back. Tell him that our Ghost King Sect will also set off soon and will fully cooperate with the actions of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect members this time. I hope you will not hesitate to send more elites from the sect to wipe out those righteous disciples this time."

You Ji quickly finished writing his words, then called a subordinate and gave the letter to him to take away.

"Mr. Ghost, is this... done?"

Qinglong pointed at the huge bronze tripod in the middle of the blood pool. At this moment, the inscriptions on the tripod seemed to have absorbed the blood in the blood pool and were emitting bursts of red light.

Even the vaguely devilish mask became more vivid and attractive.

The man called Mr. Ghost was the black-robed man who had just talked to the Ghost King.

A hoarse voice came from under the black robe:
"After these years of nourishment in the blood pool, the power of the Fulong Ding has been gradually released. Now, it has reached the level where it can seal the four spirits."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong glanced at the blood pool below, with a look of regret on his face:

“It’s a big price to pay.”

"The Jingzhe period is approaching, but if we want to induce the Kuiniu to appear, we still need to rely on a large-scale sword and killing aura. This war is just what we need."

A gleam of conspiracy flashed in the Ghost King's eyes, and he continued:
"Let Bai Duzi take the lead for us, and let him fight with those righteous people. We just sit back and wait for the harvest."

"Looking at the sect leader's leisurely demeanor, I guess he is sure of victory." You Ji asked.

"Of course." The Ghost King smiled and nodded, appearing to be confident.

"I have eliminated the only variable that made me unsure. This way, our trip to Liubo Mountain will be completely safe."

You Ji glanced at him and said vaguely:

"But you left the forget-me-not behind."

"The laws of nature are constant. If you want to gain something, you must lose something first."

"But that is after all..."

"It doesn't matter."

The Ghost King rubbed his temple, his tone becoming a little more bitter:
"I was going to use that spiritual plant to extend Xiaochi's life, but unfortunately, before it could mature... Xiaochi passed away."

Youji was silent for a few seconds. Just as she was about to speak again, Qinglong patted her arm gently.

"Third sister, now that things have come to this, why do you have to stir up the sad mood of the Sect Master?"

You Ji seriously refuted:

"I didn't instigate it. I just don't understand why the Sect Master would take such a risk."

"Because it's worth it." The Ghost King sneered:

"I know the faces of those righteous people very well. After what we did, let alone that they will be suspicious of him and even exclude him. Just talking about Liubo Mountain... He is now the head of a sect after all. If he knows what it's like, he won't go there again. In this way, I can rest assured."

"But it's still too dangerous. Thinking about it now still scares me! Have you ever thought about what would happen if those righteous people were determined to keep you two, then..."

In response, the Ghost King smiled calmly and waved his hand:

"Although I don't believe in those righteous people, I believe in him."

"But what if you made a wrong bet? What if... he chose another way?"

"That means..."

The ghost king smiled in admiration.

"He's just like us."

You Ji was silent for a moment after hearing what he said, and Qing Long beside her advised:
"Third sister, you don't have to be upset. The Sect Master has already made all the decisions to achieve his great cause. No matter what the final result is, this is the destiny of being a hegemon."

You Ji looked reminiscing and suddenly sighed:
"I know that you men have always lived with passion, and even matters of life and death are not worth mentioning."

The Ghost King and Qinglong looked at each other and laughed at the same time. The latter said:

"Third sister, what you said is a bit immature and childish."

You Ji simply stopped talking.

Then, Wanrenwang, as the leader, gave the two of them an order:
"In the next few days, everyone must be alert. The Kui Niu of Liubo Mountain is a necessary link in the Four Spirits Blood Formation, and we must not allow it to fail in the slightest! Once this formation is completed, the day when our Ghost King Sect sweeps across the eight wastelands will be just around the corner!"

A sense of dominance arises spontaneously.

"Yes!"

…………

Boom!

Suddenly, the cave shook violently.
The rubble from the top of the cave fell in clusters and landed in the blood pool, creating layers of waves.

The four people's expressions changed at the same time.

"what happened?"

The Ghost King was about to call for help.

Suddenly, a subordinate came to report:
"Master, there is a bandit outside attacking the mountain gate!"

The Ghost King frowned upon hearing this.
How dare someone break into the Ghost King Sect's main hall? Which thief is so arrogant?
"Who is that man?"

"It's a white..."

The subordinate was about to describe it when suddenly the mountain shook again, and then another disciple came to report:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the thief has destroyed the passage to the outer cave and has now broken through the Twin Sacred Cave and entered the inner cave."

"So fast?"

The Ghost King Qinglong looked at each other and were both a little surprised.

I'm going to check it out right away.

But before he could take two steps,

"Report——"

A disciple with blood all over his face staggered into the cave:

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the thieves destroyed the weapons storehouse and set fire to the spiritual medicine storehouse. The nearby disciples were unable to stop them and suffered heavy losses!"

Everyone looked at the Ghost King, who remained silent.

He thought quickly, "It's probably..."

Before he could finish his words, another disciple covered in blood came running to report:
"Master! That thief is coming this way now. He...he even said he came to you to return the favor!"

The Ghost King Qinglong looked at each other.
“You’re coming here right now!?”
